Man City: Pep Guardiola is 'in love' with Fiorentina forward Dusan Vlahovic and enters the race
Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham and Juventus were already in the hunt for Dusan Vlahovic and Manchester City have now joined Europe's elite in the race for his signature, according to reports in Italy.
After a summer swoop for Harry Kane fell through, Pep Guardiola has been desperate for a striker and has reportedly added Vlahovic to the top of his January transfer shortlist.
The City is boss is said to be 'in love' with the Serbian forward's goal-scoring ability and the Premier League giants have begun preliminary talks with Fiorentina, according to La Repubblica.
Fiorentina have tried to convince Vlahovic to extend his deal which runs until 2023 but he is looking to capitalise on his form and take on a new challenge.
La Viola could allow the goal machine to leave in January but only for a fee of £55million.
However, the Premier League champions are willing to splash out that amount to bring him to the Etihad.
The 21-year-old forward has notched 12 goals and provided two assists in 15 appearances so far to emerge as one of Europe's hottest properties.
Juventus have maintained a regular watching brief on the powerful forward as have Tottenham, Arsenal and Newcastle United.
Most recently, United threw their hat into the ring as Sportsmail understands that the Red Devils have been watching the striker.
Vlahovic is thought to favour Juventus, however, dashing the hopes of the host of Premier League clubs.
The Serie A side have suffered a lacklustre start to their campaign and currently sit seventh domestically.
But the Old Lady believe Vlahovic is the man to turn their season around.
It is claimed that Juve will table a £50m bid for the 21-year-old and have taken encouragement from the player's representative, meaning Max Allegri now feels he can get his man for under the set value.

Q: Redux-saga, yield call(history.push, 'pathname'), works only the first time, blocking all other call I am working with react 16.8.2.
I have a simple saga watcher code:
export default function* taskWatcher() {
  yield all([
    fork(subTaskWatcher1),
    fork(subTaskWatcher2),
  ])
}

and a subWatcher code,
function* subTaskWatcher2() {
  const actionObj = yield take('ACTION');
  const { history } = actionObj.payload;
  let validated = false;
  //... some Computation to validate navigation ... //
  if (validated) yield call(history.push, '/pathname')
}

that intercepts the action and based on some computations, determines whether a new path should be pushed in history object or not.
This works well only for the first time I interact with CTA that triggers the code above. All other interactions are missed, as a result of call effect of saga being a blocking call.
By this what I mean is, If I navigate back to the page that has the CTA,
and if I click on it again, there is no navigation now.
The discussion on this github issue is relevant to my concern.
I referred this answer. Doesn't really relate to my concern.
I have gone through redux-saga non-blocking calls page in docs, when I faced similar issue in the past. What is that I am missing to understand sagas and its effects?

A: According to @Jotakun suggestion to use takeEvery, after going through takeEvery pattern in saga docs, the following solution seems to work:
function* subTask2Worker(actionObj) {
  const { history } = actionObj.payload;
  let validated = false;
  //... some Computation to validate navigation ... //
  if (validated) yield call(history.push, '/pathname')
}

function* subTaskWatcher2() {
  yield takeEvery('ACTION', subTask2Worker);
}

export default function* taskWatcher() {
  yield all([
    fork(subTaskWatcher1),
    fork(subTaskWatcher2),
  ])
}

Jasprit Bumrah was almost unplayable early on AFP
Jarrod Kimber at Old Trafford
Bhuvneshwar Kumar's hands are in the air, Martin Guptill is looking down at his feet, and Richard Kettleborough is shaking his head under the Morrissey grey skies of Old Trafford.
It's clear from the first ball of the match that this is a different kind of pitch. A few days back, Australia and South Africa didn't bat that well here, and both cleared 300.
At times, it looks like the best batting pitch of the World Cup. The kind of surface that England had been hitting 350-plus on. But Guptill isn't standing on a 300 pitch, the first one moves a touch in the air, straightens when it lands, and Guptill is nowhere near it. His bat is moving like a sliding door across the line trying to find the ball. He is so square that his back foot is outside off stump, his hand comes off the bat, and he overbalances.
After the not-out decision, India get together to use their full 15-second DRS timer, before finally deciding to review. It isn't out, not straightening enough, but that one ball changes how people see the pitch.
The following ball is defended with a straight bat and head over ball; it's Test Guptill. The next delivery is an in-control push into the covers, followed by another ball nipping around that takes his hand and flies to the slips. Then the perfect ball, moving like a legbreak and beating the bat.
The first over of the semi-final is a maiden, one that Guptill barely survives.
New Zealand are 0 for 0 after one over.
When India bat, it starts with an excellent inswinger from Trent Boult, curving back sensuously, and KL Rahul drops the ball on the off side and takes off. He runs with a sense of urgency, and perhaps a little panic. No more thoughts of a good pitch; now it feels like every run should be taken, forget prettiness and stroking through the covers, scamper if you get a chance. Rohit Sharma turns the ball around to square, and they sprint another run.
For the rest of the over, they survive. They have two runs; Boult is curving the ball, there are two catchers on the off side, and two around midwicket. A few dot balls are needed and perfectly acceptable.
India are 2 for 0 after one over.

New Zealand have already batted out one maiden when they face Jasprit Bumrah. The first ball, the very first ball, is fast, back of a length, and explodes off the pitch. Every bowler loses pace when their deliveries hit the pitch; Bumrah seems to find more. His bowling defies cricket logic, and this first ball is brutal, as it explodes through to MS Dhoni. The next ball is exactly the same, brutal back of length that just misses Henry Nicholls' outside edge.
The New Zealand openers had passed 50 once together this tournament, that was when they were chasing Sri Lanka's 136 and got there no wickets down. In the rest of the tournament, they made 84 runs in all the opening partnerships combined. Nicholls is not even an opener, he is there because Colin Munro failed too often, and now he is facing Bumrah in a World Cup semi-final.
Another danger ball from Bumrah finds the middle of Nicholls' bat, and he pushes towards point. Both batsmen think of the run, but it's Ravindra Jadeja - India's omnipresent circle fielder. For the rest of the over, Nicholls pushes to the bowler or fielder; no runs.
New Zealand are 0 for 0 after two overs.
Against Australia, New Zealand used Colin de Grandhomme with the new ball; Matt Henry had been dropped for Ish Sodhi. Here, first ball, Henry takes one away from the bat, Rohit pushes to point. The next delivery is poor, slipping down leg, and they take two leg byes.
Watch on Hotstar (India only): How the New Zealand wickets fell
On the third, not everything goes right for Henry, the line is good, around fourth stump, and it's on a good length, but the seam is all over the place, not cross, but wobble. But the ball reacts as if it had a perfect seam, it moves away, and Rohit, he of five World Cup 2019 hundreds, is gone.
Virat Kohli enters, and his first two balls take the outside edge, one bounces to slip, the other flies down to third man. Rahul finishes the over.
India are 5 for 1 after two overs.
Guptill gets on to the front foot against Bhuvneshwar, ensuring he doesn't get caught on the crease. The balls go back to the bowler, into the covers and to midwicket. But after 16 deliveries, New Zealand have not scored. Nicholls has only faced six of them, but Guptill, the leading scorer in the last World Cup, has faced ten. India have not bowled a poor ball yet, not even an average ball, just probing areas, movement, or explosions from the pitch. Bhuvneshwar finally pauses for a moment, angles into the legs, and Guptill steers it to the right of midwicket. The 17th ball brings the first run. The next ball Nicholls blocks.
New Zealand are 1 for 0 after three overs.
Kohli, world No. 1 in anything he wants to be, flashes at a wide length ball like he's a kid playing his first game of seniors. A couple of balls later, he flicks in the air just near Guptill. One of the most famous people in the world is out in the middle doing what has made his name, and he looks unsure. He doesn't look right. Then Boult straightens another one - how many times has Boult curved one into Kohli in his life - but this one means more. And Kohli falls over as he tries to flick away, the ball hits above the knee roll, rebounds up to his chest. Kohli isn't even sure where the ball is, but while he looks around, Richard Illingworth gives him out. He will review and will be told it's umpire's call. Kohli is gone.
Rishabh Pant, the most famous absentee from the original 150 players at this World Cup, is now coming out to bat. The whole country demanded his selection, and New Zealand's bowlers have brought him in early.
India are 5 for 2 after three overs.
With Guptill finally at Bumrah's end, he is beaten straightaway. He lasts only two more balls when Bumrah gets another exploder off the length to fly through, take the edge and almost remove Kohli's fingers at slip. Kane Williamson - who has been most of New Zealand's batting this tournament - is so put off by Bumrah's first ball that he doesn't quite play or leave the ball as it flies outside the edge.
New Zealand are 2 for 1 after four overs.
Rahul was supposed to bat four this tournament, but Shikhar Dhawan's thumb was crunched against Australia. Rahul opening the batting is the only time he's ever looked okay in ODI cricket, and he is back there, but now he's facing Henry, who again is around off stump and moving away again. Rahul's bat is unsure of what it wants to do, his legs have moved across the crease, but his bat is somewhere between a leave and a back-foot defence, the ball takes the edge, and it reaches Tom Latham with the gloves.
Dinesh Kartik walks in; he wasn't in the XI when India were unbeaten early in the tournament, he's in the team now to bolster the lower order. Now he's dead batting a ball in the fourth over.
India are 5 for 3 after four overs.
There was a time when New Zealand were dotting up the first few overs of this match, where they looked completely outclassed. When India had finished their first four, Dhoni is biting his bat in the change rooms, Ravi Shastri is taking big breaths on the balcony, and New Zealand's dot balls are now different.
This is not the pitch or match that we thought we'd have.

The Next Critical "Climate" Change
Sheikh Muhammad Qutub
Alas, the globe has come to an agreement on the way forward to dealing with its climate change predicament. The landmark deal that world leaders ratified in Paris is the first of its kind on the long path to rectifying our global warming problem. Needless to say, like so many other shelved agreements, execution will be the real test of government commitments made at COP21. It is, however, a critical first step. Given our reliance on oil for over a century and that fossil fuels (oil, coal, and natural gas) constitute about 87% of global energy consumption, the arduous transition from fossilfuel energy dependence and petroleum-dominant economies to a clean, renewable energy framework within the span of a few decades does seem rather staggering. Furthermore, a goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions has been set to create an equilibrium between what we eject into the atmosphere and what we remove from it by the second half of this century. But if some view this as a historical milestone, others had hoped for an even more ambitious deal, claiming there aren't enough action points to achieve the goal of less than 2oC global temperature rise over pre-industrial levels. On that same note but far more pessimistically, the putative "father of climate change awareness", Professor James Hansen, decried the agreement calling it merely "worthless words".
At any rate, some semblance of an agreement is better than none at all. Despite divisive politics and complex world events, everyone came together with combined efforts to save something we all have in common: our planet. After all, we are breathing the same air and living off the same Earth. The world came together to prevent the highest polluters' irresponsible actions from wrecking that shared resource. After all, when the stakeholders include every living being, it becomes a collective responsibility to chasten the recklessness of the foolhardy.
A famous authentic ḥadīth makes the following comparison: "The example of the one who upholds the limits prescribed by Allah as opposed to the one who transgresses them is like a group of people who take their places onboard a ship after performing a draw, some of them occupying its upper deck while the others occupy its lower one. When the latter needs water, they have to go up to bring water down with them, so they said: "Let us make a hole in our share of the ship (and get water) saving those who are above us from troubling them." If the people in the upper deck left them to do what they pleased, everyone on the ship would perish, but if they prevented them, everyone on the ship would survive."
This ḥadīth is the cornerstone of the doctrine of al-amr bi al-maʿrūf wa alnahy ʿan al-munkar, enjoining good and forbidding evil. It outlines the concept of collective responsibility and the danger of allowing the corrupters to act with impunity. Several imprecise translations of the ḥadīth mention the one who observes the limits of Allah for him/her self as opposed to the one who upholds them upon others; this minor difference highlights the importance not only of piety, but of exhorting to that piety. It is one form of corruption to transgress the limits of Allah, but it is a complete other to be silent about that transgression and capitulate to it.
Indeed, there is a fine line between individual freedom and societal responsibility. This may be rather easy to comprehend when it comes to natural resources, such as the ozone layer or our valuable forests, but it seems more controversial when referring to social and moral ills that tear apart the fabric of society itself. Nevertheless, in the final result, both come to bear on the ship we are all riding together. An overarching consideration at Paris, which several leaders referred to, had to do with the type of world we are bequeathing our children; in the same manner, there are devastating social maladies we should be thinking about when talking about the future we are shaping with our actions and legislation today. It took tremendous scientific and political endeavors to get where we are today on climate change; does it have to take that much longer to realize the destructive sociomoral effects of numerous afflictions that plague human civilization at large today?
The world convened in Paris to save our proverbial ship from sinking under melting glaciers and thermally-induced rising sea levels; it's time it also convened to save it from drowning in the floods of, inter alia, substance abuse, human trafficking, state-sponsored terrorism, homosexuality, and unbridled promiscuity.


It often takes a lifetime to realize nobody is going to make us happy except our own selves. If we wait for people or money or retirement to complete us, we might experience a lot of unhappiness when these things come to pass and we're just as miserable as we were before. Depending upon somebody or something to fulfill us is a waste of time and energy.
The beauty of aging is that some of us have learned to make our own party. It might be a pity party or a thankful one or something as simple as throwing a tax refund party and buying a new pair of shoes. My brother told me one of our cousins had a saying that went like this: "We are the architects of our own misery." I'm fairly certain cousin Gene had no idea he was substituting "misery" for "happiness." In a way he was a happy person but like the rest of us, he also created his own share of misery.
Wanting to be loved and accepted by others is an integral part of being human and the need to be loved is universal, but what happens when the love we give isn't returned? As adults, we have choices. We can become bitter, angry, hostile, vindictive, or we can accept whatever comes our way and move on. I realize that's easier said than done. Sometimes it takes longer to heal from an emotional wound than it does to heal from a physical one. But it's not just losing love from a person we admired that can upset us. It might be something as subtle as changes in the weather that sends us into a tailspin.
I started writing this column on April 4. By mid-morning, 8 inches of snow had fallen, and the plow was nowhere in sight. I had plans to meet a lady friend for lunch at Sacy's at the Bay Mills Casino. We don't see each other much during winter, so by the time April's here we're ready for a get-together and a long visit. You can just about imagine how I felt when I awoke to all that fresh snow covering the 4 inches from a few days prior. By noon the plow still hadn't ventured down my sideroad and I knew I wasn't going anywhere.
Twenty-four hours later another snowfall added an additional 8 inches. The only way I could get through the day was to pretend it was November. For six months I've been cloistered in this trailer due to the weather and I'm ready to scream. Usually I don't pay much attention to what Karl Bohnak says when he gives the weather report. I just look out my window and see what's going on and plan my day from there. I guess I won't be doing any planning until July.
After calling my friend and cancelling our luncheon, I made a pot of coffee, toasted some bread and took to my chair. I was disappointed. No, that's not quite true. I was furious and emitted a few choice words I can't share with you. As one of my readers, Jan Hines, says "it wouldn't be lady-like!" But believe me I let the stinking Greek goddess of snow, Khione, know how I felt. She had come all the way from Greece to dump our area with more snow than we had in January.
I know complaining about snow in April is a minor concern when people all over the world are starving to death or being deported from their homes or being chased by tribesmen carrying machetes. I have heat, lights, water and enough beans and rice to last through the decade, so I should be thankful and not grumble about spring snow, but you know what we're like. We're genetically programmed to comment on the weather. Any kind of weather is the beginning and end of most Yooper conversations. It governs our lives and every outdoor step we take.
As retirees, we don't have to drive daily on icy or snow-filled roads because we don't have meaningful employment. We stay home most of the winter and our outings are limited to the grocery store and the doctor's office. Perhaps once a month on payday, we might venture to the casino and try our luck at the slots knowing full well we're not going to win as much as a dime.
That's why the late snowfall was such a disappointment. It thwarted my plans. The lunch I was looking forward to ended up being a piece of dry toast instead of a delicious buffet with a friend I've known since kindergarten. So I threw myself a two-hour Pity Party and relished every minute of it.
As an oldster, I've earned the right to complain, get angry and maybe even cuss a little when things go haywire. I've kept a stiff upper lip throughout many a trial and tribulation in my life. I've kept going, slapping a smile on my face and telling myself everything would be fine. Well, everything's not fine. I'm old, tired and disgusted.
But by the time you read this, the snow might be gone and daffodils might be dancing in a warm breeze. Then I'll throw a Welcome Spring Party and you're invited. Come on down and join me.


I've been a supporter of Alex O'Loughlin's career since Moonlight first aired back in September 2007. So, that's two years, seven months or 31 months.
First, I Googled Alex O'Loughlin, then I You Tubed him. Next I went to Amazon and scarfed up Oyster Farmer and The Incredible Journey of Mary Bryant. No, wait....I think I ordered Feed first. Anyway, I was determined to watch this man act in everything I could find. The more I watched the more I wanted to see. Maybe I just wanted to see him move and hear him speak. There was this certain grace about him. I couldn't go a day without watching Oyster Farmer.
UH OH! Could it be I was becoming addicted? At my age?
the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming.
By the time November rolled around, I needed more. The three videos weren't enough. OMG! Was this normal? I'd never felt this way about anything. Were there other people like me? How could I find out? Oh yeah, the internet. Eureka! I found and joined a Moonlight fan site. Guess what? There were lots of other people like me. Even worse off then me! After having a hard time coming up with a screen name (who would I want my alter ego to be?) I jumped right in and began to find comfort with my comrades. They told me more about Alex. They showed me pictures of Alex as Mick St. John. They called them screencaps. I couldn't go a day without spending an inordinate amount of time at my new home.
UH OH! Could it be I was now becoming obsessed? At my age?
Almost three years, I still spend an inordinate amount of time with my online comrades and I still find Alex draws me in every time. I am happy to say, though, that I am neither addicted nor obsessed.
It is good to know that I am not the only one, at my age. I too am "obdicted" (love the word). It is more than just his physical attributes, which are many. As you mentioned, his graceful movements and his voice and speech are very appealing. But his animated gestures, body language, and facial expressions, both in his acting and his personal interviews, are what have really made me study everything he does and I have used some of these characteristics in some of my roles. His emotions aren't just reflected in his body or face, but are also reflected in his eyes. You believe them. I find myself comparing other actors to him and most fall short it seems. I am impressed in his interviews how intelligent he is,by his character work and his work ethic. It would be a dream come true to just sit and talk to the man about acting. Well if I didn't already know, this overly exuberant comment would be enough to convice me of my obdiction.
Thank you for your blog. I enjoy reading your very well articulated observations and information.


Christopher Alder, a trainee computer programmer and former British Army paratrooper who had served in the Falklands War and Northern Ireland, died face down, handcuffed, with his trousers around his ankles on the floor of a police station in Hull in April 1998. Alder, a 37-year-old black man, had been assaulted outside a night club and taken to a local hospital, where he was arrested by officers for an alleged breach of the peace following complaints about his behaviour from nursing staff.
While fit enough to get into a police van by himself, CCTV footage shows that upon arrival at the police station, Alder was unconscious when dragged from the van and placed on the floor of the custody suite. Officers treated Alder like an animal, completely neglecting him while he lay dying on the floor. Officers calmly chatted among themselves, one of them suggesting he was faking illness. Eleven minutes later, when officers finally realised he had stopped breathing, attempts to resuscitate him came too late. It was later revealed that CCTV had captured the officers making monkey noises at the police station that night. Alder died on the scene.
Following his death, Alder's sister Janet launched a long struggle for justice, one that continues to this day. In 2000 a coroner's jury returned a verdict of unlawful killing, and in 2002 five police officers went on trial accused of manslaughter and misconduct in public office. All were cleared on the orders of the judge. An internal disciplinary inquiry by Humberside Police cleared the officers of any wrongdoing. In 2006, an Independent Police Complaints Commission report concluded that four of the officers present in the custody suite when Alder died were guilty of the "most serious neglect of duty", but the officers responsible walked free. Successive Humberside Police chiefs have failed to act on the conduct of the officers involved.
Alder's death, the police cover-up, the acquittal of officers involved, and the family's subsequent struggle for truth and justice is a pattern familiar to many families in Britain – so exquisitely documented in the 1999 film injustice . The last time a police officer was successfully prosecuted for the death of somebody in custody was in 1969, when the two Leeds Police officers responsible for the death of David Oluwale, the first black man to die in police custody in the UK, were found guilty of assault and sentenced to a mere few months in prison. There have been over 1,000 further deaths in custody since. However there has not been a single successful prosecution against any police officer involved in these deaths – despite several verdicts of unlawful killing, most recently in the case of Azelle Rodney. Crucially, these verdicts were handed down only after years of tireless campaigning and painstaking legal challenges by the families of those who lost their lives in custody, many of which are affiliated to the United Families and Friends Campaign.
Whenever there is a death in custody, the police have to call in the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC). The statutory obligation of the IPCC is to secure and maintain public confidence in the system of complaining against the police. Time and again, however, the organisation has shown itself not to be on the side of the complainant, but on the side of the officers it is supposed to investigate.
The IPCC, which over 2012/13 had a budget of £32.5 million and around 400 staff, has proven to be both toothless and biased towards police officers. Whilst it claims to treat the place where a suspicious death in custody has occurred like a crime scene, this is rarely the case. It cannot compel officers to give evidence, and it has historically been reluctant to act with suspicion towards officers involved in custody deaths. 80 per cent of senior investigators within the IPCC are ex-police officers. Since its formation in 2004, 827 people have died during or following police contact. Not a single police officer has been convicted in relation to any of these deaths.

Pacers' Malcolm Brogdon: When protests fade, here's what we must focus on as Americans
Special to USA TODAY
Black people in America are fighting two viruses.
On one hand, the global pandemic brought on by COVID-19 is disproportionately impacting black communities. The other virus – racism and its impact on black communities in America — is also alive and well.
Because of my own wealth privilege and status as an NBA player, some might think I am immune from the latter. But last week, as the protest scenes grew violent and chaotic, I looked within and asked what I could do.
Like many black men, I have been traumatized by repeatedly viewing the slow death of a brother at the hands of Minneapolis police officers sworn to protect and serve. Any decent person who watches this scene is filled with pain and anguish, horrified as George Floyd slowly asphyxiates, his neck under the knee of another human being while onlookers beg for his life.
I am angry that I had to watch, once again, an unarmed black man deliberately killed by police. I am pained, outraged and scared for our country, for my friends and for my family.
In-depth:Brogdon comfortable taking lead off the court as well as on it with Pacers
A restless energy has consumed me for the past week, and initially I couldn't figure out how to relieve it. I've witnessed protests over the past decade for Trayvon Martin and Mike Brown and all the other people suffering from excessive violence, but this one felt different.
When I joined Jaylen Brown, a member of the Boston Celtics, last weekend to march with peaceful protesters in Atlanta, I gained a greater respect for the bravery and courage it has required for generations of leaders before us to stand up to their oppressors. With police flanked on either side of our crowd, the Georgia heat beamed and the fear was visceral.
I grew up in Atlanta, home to Martin Luther King, Jr., the Atlanta University Center and a rich history of civil rights activism. My grandfather, John Hurst Adams, was a civil rights leader in Waco, Texas and Seattle, organizing protest marches, sit-ins and boycotts in the fight for racial equality. The concept of participating in the fight for equality is not new to me and I was fortunate enough to grow up hearing stories of my grandfather marching alongside Dr. King.
I thought about the older generations of the black community and the sacrifices they made to achieve the progress we benefit from today. Since slavery, black people have fought to access greater opportunity, the right to own land, to vote and to desegregate public spaces all through organized protest.
For a while, I settled on excuses. I didn't know how to protest. What positive effect will I have by being there?
This week, I am reflecting on the history of my people and the teachings of, not only my grandfather, but my namesake Malcolm X, Dr. King and Nelson Mandela. I was inspired by Malcolm X's boldness and calls for black empowerment "by any means necessary." Malcolm evolved over time and came to understand the humanity of us all. I also admired Dr. King, Jr.'s strategic approach and ability to mobilize millions to change laws and to create a more equitable society. Mandela, a revolutionary who spent 27 years in prison, became educated enough on his nation's issues to question the leaders in power and dismantle its apartheid system.
These great men inspired my decision to join Saturday's protest.
I can't lie. I was nervous. I had never done anything like this before, I had no idea what to expect and I knew that a peaceful protest could easily turn violent. But when my family and I arrived and joined the group at the Martin Luther King History Center in downtown Atlanta, that energy I had been feeling the past few days felt right at home.
I felt comforted that I was surrounded by people who were there for the same reason: systemic racism that leads to police brutality and the unnecessary killing of black women – like Breonna Taylor, Sandra Bland and Iyanna Dior plus so many others – and black men, many of whose names we will never know. This has to end. I was reminded that a single decision to act can have a significant impact.
When I told my mom about my experience at the protest, she asked, "Now what?" I hadn't gotten that far yet, but she had a great point. She reminded me that my grandfather didn't just protest, he used his influence to connect and collaborate with other civil rights leaders and helped create plans of how they would instill real progress and change.
I don't profess to have the answers or even a perfect strategy, but I've done some reflecting since Saturday and here is what I know:
► We must have justice for George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, and those responsible for their deaths must be held accountable.
► We must see the humanity in each other, so that we can lead with compassion, rather than hate.
► We must recognize that peaceful protest works because we create community and demonstrate our commitment to a cause. It helps people understand our pain and what needs to change.
► We must tear down the barriers erected to prevent our participation in elections. And we must vote at every level – local, state and federal – to support the people who will fight for us.
► We must demand accountability of our elected officials and law enforcement and change the policies that encourage over-policing and use of excessive force in black communities.

Gram Vikas, which literally translates to "Village Development", has been working for the well-being of tribal and marginalized communities in inaccessible rural areas for over a period of 35 years. Gram Vikas strives to promote sustainable, socially inclusive and gender equitable practices amongst these communities, thus enabling them to take control over their lives and reach a heightened sense of empowerment.
Gram Vikas operates through its flagship model, titled "Movement and Action Network for Transformation of Rural Areas (MANTRA)", which has been in operation since 2004. The major tenets of this model include 100% inclusion of the target communities, creation of self-managed community institutions, focus on ensuring social and gender equity, cost sharing, and sustainability of the interventions implemented. This model uses water and sanitation as an entry point and moves on to other need based intervention on Health, Social Housing, Natural Resource Management and Food Security, and Renewable Energy.

New graphene-enhanced non-liquid lubricant shows promise for various aerospace applications
Researchers at Purdue University have created a new type of graphene-enhanced non-liquid lubricant which reduces friction and wear. The suggested applications include air compressors for missile systems and more. The new liquid-free composite is made from a slurry of graphene, zinc oxide, and the polymer polyvinylidene difluoride.
The nanosize zinc-oxide particles allow the lubricant to stick to the metal surface, and the polymer binds the whole mixture together, said the team, which also explained that solid lubricants are needed for numerous applications such as air compressors, equipment used in the food industry, space vehicles, gear-and-chain mechanisms, fasteners found in high-temperature environments, and missile systems.

Researchers at Northwestern U use crumpled graphene balls to improve oil's performance
Researchers at Northwestern University targeted the problem of fuel waste in automobiles due to friction, and tested crumpled graphene balls as a lubricant additive. In a series of tests, oil modified with crumpled graphene balls outperformed some commercial lubricants by 15%, both in terms of reducing friction and the degree of wear on steel surfaces.
Crumpled graphene balls are a novel type of ultrafine particles that resemble crumpled paper balls. The particles are made by drying tiny water droplets with graphene-based sheets inside. The scientists explain that capillary force generated by the evaporation of water crumples the sheets into miniaturized paper balls, just like how we might crumple a piece of paper with our hands.

9 Things Every LGBTQ+ Homebuyer Needs to Know – Whether you're an Agent, Broker, Investor or Buyer, let Real Estate Business News be your #1 Resource!
Even though millions of Americans buy a home each year, there's no exact science to it. Each person has a different set of variables to consider, including those in the LGBTQ+ community. Fortunately, you don't have to navigate the process completely in the dark. Here are 9 things every LGBTQ+ homebuyer should know, along with resources to help you find and settle into the home of your dreams.
In another win for equality, a federal judge recently ruled that the LGBTQ+ community is protected against housing discrimination. That means that no matter where you live in the country, no seller can refuse to sell you a home based on your sexual orientation or gender identity. Unfortunately, we live in an imperfect world, and there is no guarantee that you won't run into prejudice at any point.

Rising drug prices are a political issue. Alone, the expenditure for novel cancer agents and immunosuppressive agents grew, according to the Helsana-drug report by more than 14 percent. Their share of total medicines expenditure has exceeded the threshold of 25 percent.
In Switzerland, the Federal office for health (BAG) sets the price of drugs. The price mechanism is now under increasing criticism. Health economists like Guido Klaus von Helsana, the non-governmental organisation Public Eye or Price watchdog Stefan Meierhans call for reforms, because the BAG was compared to the pharmaceutical industry in a weaker Position. "Pharmaceutical companies should have less Power in determining the prices," says, for example, Price watchdog Stefan Meierhans.
On paper, the price mechanism sounds simple: The price for the medium, which must reimburse the health insurance companies, depends on the prices which are paid abroad for the relevant funds. The second factor is the therapeutic cross-comparison, so what is the treatment with comparable products cost and how high the added value of the new Agent is.
The Problem: The BAG has no idea of how much, for example, a health insurer pays in Germany for a new drug actually. Although there are official list prices, which are public. But the pays no one, the industry agreed discounts. "No one knows the net prices of the other", confirms the BAG. "Just for high-priced medicines, it is a fact that the international published rates will not be reimbursed."
Therefore, Helsana expert Klaus says: "The foreign prices with the discounts granted into the Void, it is a discontinued model." Since no country knows the true prices of the other, could play in the pharmaceutical industry in the countries off against each other. The result is that the official list prices are only the shop window prices. The grants to the BAG.
Work in the models, really?
The Problem: The office with the discount game. Recently, the "Rundschau" in a post, like the BAG and the Roche group had quarreled for many years, the price for the cancer drug, Perjeta. The "Rundschau" has this newspaper documents. Actually, discounts on the Swiss price system for drugs has not provided. According to the documents, there are now 21 such models with a so-called reimbursement.
However, the BAG of such models speaks "only in exceptional cases". So for example for combination therapies, where two or more expensive cancer agents are used, for example, Roche's best seller Herceptin and Perjeta. "The discounts granted are pure back-room deals, in which the BAG is on the contrary to come of the industry rely," says, however, Guido Klaus von Helsana. The BAG I have no legal power to request such discounts or enforce.
It was "for the implementation of pricing models in the speciality list of mutually agreed solutions with the pharmaceutical companies," says the BAG. However, it would keep the industry at the agreed discounts, the models would work.
No wonder: Because of the high Swiss list prices, industry profits, such as price supervisor Meier Hans warns: "The pharmaceutical industry wants a high Swiss "window price", as also in the foreign price comparisons can be carried out, and a high Swiss price is, therefore, advantageous for you."
The BAG refers in this point to the fact that the office is doing its discounts to the public. Nevertheless, the non-governmental organization of the Public Eye, is critical of the discount models because of their lack of transparency. This be increases a a gateway for hidden price. Thus, the current net price of Perjeta with 2851.77 Swiss francs was around 30 percent higher than in 2013, and this, although the official list price had fallen to about 12 percent. The reason is a substantial decline in the repayment amount is "" the Public Eye, determined.
The debate about the Reform of the system runs: price supervisor Meier, Hans calls the BAG "is increasingly working with foreign authorities, in order to strengthen its negotiating power". In addition, health insurers in the case of drugs, prices, request, and recourse should be to get right. But, as long as the legal price will remain the rules in the core unchanged, would bring, according to the Helsana expert Klaus is such a right of action alone is of little use. He wants to change the entire System. "Among other things, the price would need to be set also with regard to the affordability for the System," he suggests. A relevant initiative in this direction, the Council of States has rejected but recently.
The pharmaceutical industry speaks of a "best price system". Discount solutions would undermine the current System, of which "cannot be said", explains the Association Interpharma. In the case of drugs that could be used for several diseases, as well as in combination therapies, the System push "to its limits". Therefore, a "flexibility of the price system is necessary, which in the individual case pricing and reimbursement models," inter Pharma.

Tipton Asks Trump to Address Return of USS Pueblo at Summit in Hanoi
Congressman Scott Tipton (CO-03) asked President Trump to address the return of the USS Pueblo during his summit with North Korean Leader Kim Jong-un in Hanoi Vietnam, which is scheduled for February 27 and 28, 2019.
In a letter to the president, Tipton wrote in part:
"This historic summit provides another opportunity to directly discuss the return of the USS Pueblo (AGER 2), which remains an enduring piece of American history. The storied, American naval intelligence ship is named after Pueblo, Colorado, a city located in Colorado's Third Congressional District … The time has come for the Pueblo to return home to the United States. The Pueblo is the U.S. Navy's only commissioned vessel that remains in captivity. I appreciate any dedicated efforts by your Administration to ensuring that the Pueblo is returned home with the dignity and respect it deserves."
Read the full letter here.
On Jan. 23, 1968, the USS Pueblo and its crew were attacked by the North Korean military while peacefully sailing in international waters. The crew of the ship valiantly tried to resist capture, but they were outgunned and eventually forced to surrender. During the struggle, Petty Officer Duane Hodges was killed by enemy gunfire and multiple members of the crew were injured. After the capture of the USS Pueblo, the remaining 82 crew members were taken to Wonsan, North Korea, and held in captivity for 11 months. The crew members were eventually released but the USS Pueblo was not. For the past 50 years, the USS Pueblo has sat moored in the Potong River and remains the only commissioned vessel by the United States Navy to be held in captivity.


Happy April! It is spring break week around these parts. Our plans consist of picking out items to repair my master bathroom and living room after a massive water leak. I shared the disaster on IG a few weeks ago. It has been a bit exhausting and inconvenient but I'm excited about a new bathroom on the other end of this journey. Until then, we've been waiting on the spring weather to arrive while we channel the 80's in our windbreakers.
This time last year we were at the beach. I'm going to do my best to get the girls out to do something fun a few days this week in Atlanta. We'll get back to traveling this summer. Any fun plans for spring break?

Q: Get a css value from Bootstrap css with JavaScript/ jQuery? I want to get the font sizes of headings h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 which are respectively 36px, 30px, 24px, 18px, 14px, 12px respectively [in bootstrap.css] and alert them in the console. The jQuery method I've seen is $('element').css('property'), but this is not working for external css [i.e bootstrap.css].
Should I have to include any more lines of code.

A: $.each(['h1','h2','h3','h4','h5','h6'], function(idx, val){
    console.log($(val).css('font-size') )
});

A: var stylesheet = document.styleSheets[(document.styleSheets.length - 1)];

for( var i in document.styleSheets ){
     var temp = = document.styleSheets[i];
     if( temp.href && temp.href.indexOf("bootstrap.css") ) {

We are excited to announce the release of Scala.js 0.5.3!
If you choose to re-publish a library, make sure to bump its version.
For changes introduced in 0.5.0, how to upgrade, getting started etc. have a look at the 0.5.0 announcement (see also the announcements for 0.5.1 and 0.5.2).
Scala.js 0.5.3 is the first release to include an actual optimizer specific to Scala.js. This optimizer runs as part of the fastOptJS task, and consistently brings speedups to all applications from 1.3x to 3.3x (Rough benchmarks), along with code size reduction (15 % for the fastOpt version and 6 % for the fullOpt on our demo application) and less memory usage. Because it runs at link time, the optimizer also applies to libraries you depend on that have been compiled with Scala.js 0.5.0 to 0.5.2 (although a few optimizations won't be as effective).
The optimizer is incremental in the same sense as the incremental compilation of sbt: on each run, it will reoptimize only the parts of your application that need reoptimizing. This means that it will run much faster starting from the second run within an sbt session (within 200 ms in typical scenarios).
These classes are automatically available in all your Scala.js projects.
Currently, the only additional class is java.io.DataInputStream.
jsDependencies += "org.webjars" % "mustachejs" % "0.8.2" / "mustache.js" commonJSName "Mustache"
The commonJSName directive should be set to the name used by the library to export itself when run in a CommonJS environment (such as Node.js). You can typically figure that out from the library's documentation.
Some (more) minor changes have been made to the IR to better accommodate the optimizer. This is the reason for the lack of forward binary compatibility in this release.

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
By Michael Smith
A new and handsomely illustrated translation of the Arthurian mediaeval masterpiece.
Sir Gawain goes to the publishers!
It's been a long time in coming - five years in fact - but at long last the manuscript and illustrations for Sir Gawain and the Green Knight have been delivered to the team at Unbound for the next step in its story. Five years ago, I could little have imagined it getting this far - here's how it all came about...
Back in 2012, I was busy producing a small range of greetings cards featuring scenes from Sir Gawain and I decided it would be great to include lines from the poem. I soon discovered that not only was each translation different but also there would be an issue of copyright. So, in order to get round this perceived problem, I decided to take on the translation myself!
Image: In this leather bound note book, my translation work began...
Translating in the stolen hours of day and night...
A translation of this nature is not something which should be done lightly - I was soon to discover. Translating Chaucer into modern English is tough enough; translating a work written in the West Midland dialect of the 1390s was even tougher! In stolen hours, slowly and surely, I began the painstaking work of prising from the manuscript what I thought the poet was saying.
But then the problems crept in. Sentences were endless; tenses changed; words which appear modern have entirely different meanings. My first hand-written version, taking over a year to do in my spare time, was - like Dr Johnson's Dictionary - becoming overwhelming.
Image: line by line the poem was translated, slowly in dark rooms...
Rewriting, re-interpreting, re-thinking...
Once completed, I then began the process of typing up the manuscript into a Word file. This was when new problems surfaced. While a translation is pleasing, you soon realise that you have interpreted a word or phrase incorrectly so you have to amend your thinking. Much of my first hand-written draft would need considerable revision…
Then there is the issue of the metre of each line and the delicate appearance of the ceasura – a feature of this poem stretching right back to Beowulf and beyond. With the ceasura in place, does a line still read effectively? If not, the line needs to be rewritten – not forgetting the importance of retaining the other feature of this great poem, the alliteration. Finding alliteration anew from a line already translated presents its own difficulties; assuming you can find the words, the line still has to make sense for the reader!
Image: the manuscript ready for the publisher - notice one of the illuminated letters
Difficult challenges to overcome...
Gawain and the Green Knight also uses the "bob and wheel" technique at the end of each stanza, whereby the last full line of the stanza ends with an additional two syllables to those previously (the bob) before announcing a pair of rhyming couplets (the wheel). Simple? No.
The wheel's lines are shorter than the others and the way we use language has differed since the Gawain-poet's day. Making these wheels work – and to maintain rhyme and sense – was one of the most difficult tasks I faced. At times, they almost defeated me; sometimes it would take an hour or two – or even a couple of days – to work out the answer!
In the end, my simple task of translation went through five iterations before I was happy. At the same time, as I learned more about the story and the time it was written, I began to produce the extensive suite of linocut illustrations which accompany this work and will make it particularly attractive.
Image: a selection of some of the many linocut images I have produced for the book
Linocuts and more research...
Each of these in themselves took between 40 a 80 hours to produce; not forgetting the nine individual illuminated letters which I have cut based on the original illuminations in Cotton Nero A.x in the British Library. In preparing each and every one of these, I have focused on period illuminations, carvings and even stained-glass windows to create characters which match the style and slightly disjointed technique of mediaeval artists.
And yet more work...
But these are not the only features of the book. In the manuscript, I have included an overview of the poet's times to help readers formulate their own views on whether the poem has meanings beyond what might at first be apparent.
I've included a history of Cotton Nero A.x itself and I've also written copious notes which appear at the end which shed light on topics such as arms and armour, heraldry, castles, hunting methods and more. I also discuss some of the places which might have inspired the Gawain-poet in his task. This version of Gawain and the Green Knight will, I hope, be not only a pleasure to read but also offer the reader a deep and meaningful insight into the life and times of this anonymous genius.
So thank you - and do spread the word too; the book will be fantastic!
In the end, after five long years, the manuscript and all the illustrations are with Unbound and begin the next stage of their journey. Now, in the hands of copy editors and designers, the book will come to life as an extra special edition; what I call a mediaeval illuminated manuscript for the modern age. I would like to thank each and every one of you who has pledged support to make this book happen.
Everyone who has pledged – or who has yet to pledge – will receive a truly deluxe limited collector's edition of the book which will be significantly different to those copies which will appear in the bookshops. I'm very excited by what the team at Unbound has shown me already; soon we'll be able to give you a flavour of what the book will look like in the flesh once the cover designer gets to work. Watch this space!
Remember - everyone who pledges for the Collectable Edition or higher also gets entered into a special draw; with every ten pledges we receive, one lucky person will have their copy of the book upgraded to the Middle English edition where the book is personally dedicated to you (or a friend) and has a favourite line written by me in the front of the book in Middle-English and with my translated line below. This even applies for those who pledge for a a high value option (e.g. one of the Dedicated Print pledge rewards).
Thank you everyone - I am in your debt for helping make this happen.

Soutra Aisle, (the present structure lies just within the boundary of the Scottish Borders from Midlothian) not far from Fala, is the remains of the House of the Holy Trinity, a church that was part of a complex comprising a hospital and a friary. It lies half a mile along the B6368 from its junction with the A68.

History
The complex was founded by Malcolm IV in 1164, when he granted it the lands of Brotherstanes up to and including the lands  of Lyndean. It was built close to the Via Regia, the main route from the North to the Borders Abbeys; it was known as the House of the Holy Trinity and was run by an  Augustinian Order.

The Great Seal of Scotland mentions Thomas Lauder (later Bishop of Dunkeld) as Master of the Hospital of Soutra on 26 February 1439 (no. 226) and 20 May 1444 (no. 298). A Supplication to Rome dated 7 October 1444 states that he "had been Rector of the church or House of the Holy Trinity of Soltre, Diocese of Saint Andrews, for over seven years". In the supplication dated 7 October 1444 the whole status of the foundation and the purpose of the hospital is discussed, where it is stated that it was "the founders intention to found there a hospital for the reception of the poor rather than a religious place". Its description of the site says: "the church is built at the top of a hill near a public way where there often fierce winds and frequent cold spells".

Following a scandal involving Stephen Fleming, the master of the hospital, the Crown confiscated most of the estates which had supported the hospital in the 1460s.
These estates were granted to Trinity College Hospital in Edinburgh.
This left Soutra Aisle impoverished and it only survived because it became the burial place of the Pringle family in 1686.

Recent archaeological works have revealed evidence of rare seeds ("medicinal products from all over the known world"), used for medicinal treatment. The experts found little above-ground evidence of the hospital because its stones had been removed long ago. Dr Brian Moffat, who led the investigation, estimated in 1993 that the peak years for the hospital were "from around the middle of the 12th century to perhaps the middle of the 15th" with perhaps 300 people residing there to deal with visitors and patients.

Longtime NABJ Member Kevin Merida Named LA Times Executive Editor - National Association of Black Journalists-Chicago Chapter
Longtime NABJ Member Kevin Merida Named LA Times Executive Editor
In NABJ National News, News
The National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) is celebrating a huge appointment at the Los Angeles Times. After a 5-month search, longtime NABJ member Kevin Merida is the publication's new executive editor. He will join the LA Times in June.
According to The Washington Post, in the LA Times' 139-year history, "Merida is the second African American to lead the Times' newsroom. Dean Baquet, currently executive editor of The New York Times, previously held the position during Tribune's ownership."
He is the first Black executive to lead the newsroom in nearly 20 years, and according to the LA Times, he is only "the third person of color to steer the largest news organization in the West."
"I am looking forward to working with a tremendous LA Times staff, creating something magical together and shaking up the media landscape," Merida told NABJ. "At this moment, I am reminded of all I've learned and all those who helped me get better. Some of my fondest memories in this profession have a connection to NABJ. Thank you, NABJ, for what you've done for Black journalists. For all of us."
Merida, a veteran journalist who has been in the industry for 40 plus years, currently serves as senior vice president at ESPN and editor-in-chief of The Undefeated.
Before his work at ESPN, Merida served as The Washington Post's first Black managing editor for news, features, and its universal news desk. He is heralded for his work in leading The Post's "digital transformation" that led to one of the largest increases in audience growth across the news and media industry.
Merida's appointment is met with jubilation by NABJ Board members.
"As a member, Kevin has served NABJ with great dedication and has played an integral role in the forward movement of telling untold Black stories in the industry.

It is a source of pride to now say that one of the top papers in the country is headed by a Black executive."
NABJ's Vice President-Print Kathy Chaney echoed Tucker's sentiments.
"We are excited about this elevation and call on other media companies to recruit and identify top echelon Black talented executives as well," said Chaney. "The time is now for news managers to acknowledge the skilled, dedicated corps of Black journalists who have helped build their newsrooms for decades by fully supporting their ascent to leadership within these companies."
Merida is tasked with transforming the LA Times into a "digital powerhouse," according to the LA Times article announcing the appointment, which can be found here.
"I have known Kevin since he was an editor at The Dallas Morning News and I was just beginning my career as a reporter at the Austin American-Statesman in 1991," said NABJ's Vice President-Digital Roland Martin. "He has represented the best of journalism from the beginning and is indicative of the talent that exists among Black journalists nationwide. I'm ecstatic that he is getting the chance to run a major national newsroom, and the staff of the LA Times should be thankful that they are getting someone with impeccable credentials and an astute understanding of what constitutes news in a diverse America and world."
President Tucker also applauds NABJ's Los Angeles chapter for its work in keeping diversity a priority at the Times.
"I'm incredibly excited to continue to see the Los Angeles Times making progress to be a more inclusive organization," said NABJ-Los Angeles Chapter President Jarrett Hill. "I look forward to working together to continue this progress, as we all work to make newsrooms, media organizations, and their coverage more equitable and reflective of the communities they serve. Kevin has a track record of leadership and innovative thinking that will be a valuable asset to improving the journalism community here in Los Angeles, hopefully creating models for the future of this industry."

New York Boy Seriously Injured by Amtrak Train
By Pottroff & Karlin LLC September 28, 2017 No Comments
(Wilton, New York – September 23, 2017)
An as-yet unidentified 17-year-old boy, attempting to save his pet dog from being struck by a northbound Amtrak passenger train in the Saratoga County community of Wilton, NY Saturday at about 12:30 P.M., EDT, was struck a glancing blow by the train. The train was traveling on Delaware & Hudson Railroad tracks that pass on unfenced railroad right-of-way behind his home near Daniels Road and the Maple Avenue railroad overpass.
The youngster suffered head injuries and a broken wrist as he desperately tried to save his beloved pet. The train was traveling on the single track rail line that handles a daily average of 16 D&H freight and Amtrak passenger trains at a maximum allowable speed of 70 mph.
Police said the injured teen was transported to Albany Medical Center Hospital for treatment of what were called non-life threatening injuries. Sadly, the dog was killed by the Montreal, Quebec, Canada train carrying 95 passengers. None of the train's passengers were injured in the incident.

Officials: Iraq Sabotage an 'Insider Job'
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Saboteurs launching attacks on Iraq's oil and electricity infrastructure appear to be employees working in the industry or others acting on inside information, reconstruction officials said Sunday.
A Western diplomat in Baghdad said the "precise" targeting of especially vulnerable or valuable portions of the oil and electricity systems -- and even a sewage treatment plant -- has increased the damage to critical infrastructure beyond what would be expected from random attacks.
The diperators that provide domestic electricity.
Allawi (search) said saboteurs have attacked vital oil pipelines 130 times in the last seven months, causing hundreds of millions of dollars in damage and lost revenues, hindering Iraq's efforts to rebuild and adding to the hardships of average Iraqis.
The Western diplomat said insurgents were suspected of using blackmail and threats to coerce Iraqi workers to launch attacks or to provide information on vulnerable locations in the country's oil pipelines and electric power lines.
Funding and information for the sabotage also may be flowing into Iraq from other countries, the diplomat said.
Oil Minister Thamer al-Ghadban told Dow Jones Newswires on Sunday that his ministry would extend for "a few months" a contract with South African security contractor Erinys International that was set to expire in less than a month.
Al-Ghadban said he would also expand the 14,000-member Iraqi force created to protect the infrastructure.
Steve Wright, a spokesman for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (search), said sabotage of key infrastructure appears to have been planned before the U.S.-led invasion last year by members of Saddam Hussein's (search) government. In some cases, Iraqi oil wells were wired to be set on fire.
In the months after the invasion, saboteurs -- suspected of being insiders -- set fire to a computerized control room for a liquid propane gas plant as well as the plant's warehouse, damaging millions of dollars in equipment, he said. Elsewhere, a water treatment plant used in Iraq's oil industry was sabotaged, Wright said.
Even a repaired sewage treatment plant was sabotaged -- probably by insiders, the Western diplomat said.
Now, Iraqis hired by the Army Corps of Engineers to work in Iraq's oil and electric infrastructure have to go through background checks overseen by the new U.S. Embassy, Wright said.
Arab tribal leaders living near pipeline routes are also being hired to protect the lines, he said.
Attacks in northern Iraq have hamstrung exports from the country's oil pipeline to Ceyhan, Turkey, with the line opening only intermittently before saboteurs' bombs sever it again. That northern pipeline, which accounts for only a small fraction of oil exports, has been closed since it was severed by a blast a month ago.
Three major attacks also temporarily halted exports from southern Iraq, which handles 90 percent of Iraq's oil exports.
Guerrilla fighters also have targeted foreign experts the coalition has contracted to help carry out technical repairs and bring in badly needed spare parts.
And last month, insurgents ambushed and killed the security chief for Iraq's Northern Oil Company, Ghazi Talabani. Police officials said five men arrested in connection with the assassination belonged to Ansar al-Islam, a Kurdish group believed linked to al-Qaida.

Q: Getting list of clients using WebSockets I'm building a multiuser sketchpad and having some issues getting and keeping an updated list of all the currently connected users. I'm trying to find the best way to notify all existing clients of a new client, and passing the existing clients to the newly connected one. The reason I'm trying to do this is so when one client draws a line, all the other clients find that client in the list, and add the line coords to the respective array.
Server.js
var sys = require("sys");
var ws = require('websocket-server');

var server = ws.createServer({debug: true});

server.addListener("connection", function(conn) {
// When a message is received, broadcast it too all the clients
// that are currently connected.
conn.send('NEW_SERVER_MESSAGE:Welcome!');
conn.send('USER_CONNECTED:' + conn.id);

conn.addListener("message", function( msg ){
    switch(msg) {
        case 'GET_ALL_ACTIVE_USERS':
            server.manager.forEach(function(con) {
                conn.broadcast('USER_CONNECTED:' + con.id);
            });
            break;
        case 'UPDATE_CURSOR':
            conn.broadcast( msg + '_' + conn.id );
            break;
        default:
            conn.broadcast( msg );
            break;
    }

});
conn.addListener('close', function( msg ) {
    conn.broadcast('USER_DISCONNECTED:' + conn.id);
});
});

server.addListener("error", function(){
console.log(Array.prototype.join.call(arguments, ", "));
});

server.addListener("listening", function(){
console.log("Listening for connections...");
});

server.addListener("disconnected", function(conn){
console.log("<"+conn.id+"> disconnected.");
});

server.listen(8002);</code>

My JS network code:
sketchPadNet = function (b,s) {
var self = this;

this.host = "ws://localhost:8002/server.js";

this.id = null;
this.users = [];
this.heightOffset = 53;
this.scene = s;
this.connected = b;

var User = function(id) {
    this.id = id;
    this.nickname = id;
    this.lines = [];
    this.position = "";
};

this.init = function () {
    try {
        socket = new WebSocket(self.host);
        socket.onopen = function (msg) {
            socket.send('GET_ALL_ACTIVE_USERS');
        };

                break;

            case 'DRAW_LINE':

                var id = tmpMsg[8];
                var userIndex = '';

                for(var i = 0; i < self.users.length; ++i) {
                    if(self.users[i].id == id) userIndex = i;

                var p2 = new BLUR.Vertex3(tmpMsg[3], tmpMsg[4], tmpMsg[5]);

                var line = new BLUR.Line3D(p1, p2, tmpMsg[7]);
                line.material = tmpMsg[6];

                // add the newly created line to the scene.

                        self.scene.removeObject(scene.objects[i]);

                    if(self.users[i].id == id)
                        userIndex = i;
                }

                self.users[userIndex].position = new BLUR.Vertex3(coords[0], coords[1], 1);
                var p = new BLUR.Particle( self.users[userIndex].position, 4 );
                p.material = new BLUR.RGBColour(176,23,31,0.3);

                self.scene.addObject(p);
                break;

            case 'RECEIVE_ID':
                self.id = m[1];
                self.connected.nicknameObj.text = self.id;
                console.log(self.id);

        };
    }
    catch (ex) {
        console.log('EXCEPTION: ' + ex);
    }
};

At the moment, when a new client connected it sends out a message and is added to an array, the the reverse when a client disconnects. For some reason though this isn't staying update? For example when a client draws a line, some of the others report this error:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'lines' of undefined

Sorry if i'm being incredibly stupid here, but any help is appreciated!!
Cheers :)

A: I tried to figure it out by looking at the code but without even a line number on which the error appears, it's pretty hard, anyways.
I suppose this is the problem here:
conn.send('USER_CONNECTED:' + conn.id); // send the connect message to ONE user
conn.broadcast('USER_DISCONNECTED:' + conn.id); // send the disconnect to ALL users

So it seems that you're simply missing a broadcast call when a user connects.

A: Ok the real issue seems to be in 'DRAW_LINE' on the client side. Are you sure that you are broadcasting the message to all users and not just sending back the message to the client?
The error points to this line in your client code:
var p1 = (self.users[userIndex].lines.length < 1) ? new BLUR.Vertex3(tmpMsg[0], tmpMsg[1], tmpMsg[2]) : self.users[userIndex].lines[self.users[userIndex].lines.length - 1].point2;

Please provide the server code for 'DRAW_LINE'. The issue is definitely cropping up in there and not in any of the others.
Also, self.users[userIndex] is undefined. Maybe that user does not exist?
Why do u need that for loop? Why not just:
if(self.users[id] != undefined) {
  var p1 = (self.users[id].lines.length < 1) ? new BLUR.Vertex3(tmpMsg[0], tmpMsg[1], tmpMsg[2]) : self.users[id].lines[self.users[id].lines.length - 1].point2;
}

A:
I'm trying to find the best way to
  notify all existing clients of a new
  client, and passing the existing
  clients to the newly connected one

I would advice you to have a look at socket.io instead. It can do this easily and fail back to other available transports if websockets aren't supported by the browser.

A: you might want to consider using an existing server that has things like rooms and user lists built in. for comparison, here's a tutorial for a multiuser sketchpad written in javascript that uses Union Server:
http://www.unionplatform.com/?page_id=2762
and here's Union Server's documented protocol, which includes a description of the messaging system for rooms and clients joining/leaving rooms:
http://unionplatform.com/specs/upc/
might give you some ideas.

Cambs Times > Things to do
A veritable of who's who in British theatre set for Cambridge Arts Theatre this year

Cambridge Arts 2016 - Credit: Archant
A who's who of British theatre is showcased in Cambridge Arts Theatre's new season.
In February, Britain's most performed living playwright, Alan Ayckbourn has a double bill of plays written 40 years apart. Ayckbourn classic, Confusions is matched with the world premiere of his 79th play, Hero's Welcome.
In March, the big names include Olivier Award winner Matthew Kelly in Toast, written by Richard Bean who wrote One Man Two Governors, one of the funniest plays on the West End stage ever.
The same month, Martin Shaw and Christopher Timothy star in Hobson's Choice. Stars of EastEnders, Shane Richie and Jessie Wallace perform together on stage in Peter James's The Perfect Murder.
It should be killing. And we have The Herbal Bed, a play about Shakespeare's daughter, Susannah based on real events in the summer of 1613 when she was accused of adultery. The play was written for the Royal Shakespeare Company by Peter Whelan.
In April, Of Mice and Men, the play based on John Steinbeck's novel, stars Dudley Sutton (known for his role in Lovejoy) as Candy.
In May, there is the Olivier Award winning production of the children's play Goodnight Mister Tom. English Touring Theatre present the world premiere of their adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited and we see Clybourne Park, a satire on race and real estate set in a fictional neighbourhood of Chicago.
In June, Michael Pennington stars in King Lear.
There are musical delights too, in February the West End production of Show Stopper, the Improvised Musical arrives after eight summers on the Edinburgh Fringe and a run at London's Apollo.
The stunning and acclaimed English Touring Opera return in April with three operas: Mozart's Don Giovanni, Gluck's Iphiegénie en Tauride and Donizetti's Pia de' Tolomei and, also in April, there is Sasha Regan's all male version of Gilbert and Sullivan's HMS Pinafore – and Gareth Gates and Maureen Nolan in Footloose The Musical.What more could you want, but there is more, including Measure for Measure by Cambridge University's Marlowe Society in February, The Gruffalo's Child in March, Noel Coward's Present Laughter in July, on its way to the West End, and The 39 Steps which seems to have become an annual event.
The one-nighters include An Evening of Murder with television historian Lucy Worsley, the Cambridge Footlights (both in February) and Ken Dodd's Happiness Show in May, which sold out last time he was at the Arts in 2006. He fires off non-stop jokes like a machine gun. Take a deep breath before his show, there might not be time once it starts.
