The Division 2 Video Game Adds Accessibility for Gamers with Disabilities
Ubisoft's The Division 2 is the latest game to tackle accessibility options, launching with an assortment of settings aimed at increasing inclusivity for gamers with disabilities.
Among these options are a narrator for menus, user interface editor, and various types of subtitles on Xbox.
When The Division 2 first starts up, you'll encounter a setup menu. It'll include the options Enable Menu Narration (English only), Large Fonts, Game Language and Dialogue Language. Menu narration and font size are part of the game's accessibility options, and both can be enabled by toggling the setting to yes. While the option to turn on large font size has its own limitations, the menu narration leaves a lot more to be desired.
When Narrator is enabled, it will initialize a robotic voice that reads text aloud, making it a bit easier to navigate through menus. It covers the character creation screen and the general settings of the game, but that's about it. Players who were excited to use this option were expecting a much more thorough approach to the menu narration feature considering The Division 2 is a game where you're constantly in menu screens managing your inventory, weapons, skills, and more.
Additional features aimed at making The Division 2 more inclusive to disabled gamers are visual tweaks like higher contrast and colorblind settings (Deuteranopia, Tritanopia, and Protanopia), as well as four different subtitle options that include scripted dialogue, dialogue and barks, and dialogue and barks including full captions.
Another concern many players had with The Division 2 is related to the text size of the button prompts located on the left corner of the screen. The prompts display different actions depending on the menu you're in and can be hard to read even when you're close to the TV or monitor. While the option to make text bigger is presented in The Division 2 from the very start, it doesn't apply to everything.

Jesse Anderson, also known as BGFH, is a technology, gaming, and VR accessibility advocate and consultant. He recently spoke on a panel alongside Steve Taylor and Meghan Dornbrock during the Game Accessibility Conference (#GACONF for short), hosted by the International Game Developers Association in San Francisco. The three talked about their own experiences with different games and came up with a list of features they would like to see worked on.
Some suggestions included bigger text sizes and contrast options, narrated text to speech for menus and other screens, and a way to find out what accessibility options will be available prior to the game's release. "A lot of times we don't know whether we will be able to play a game or not until it's out," said Anderson.
As for The Division 2, he wishes there was a way to disable menu transparency in-game. "If you are looking at an area in the game where the game graphics are a similar shade to the text, it can be extremely hard to read. There should be an option to, at the very least, have a solid background behind the text to make it clear. Larger font options would also help,"
"My dream, though, would be for those menus to be narrated through text-to-speech just like the main menu."
When David Tisserand, Accessibility Project Manager at Ubisoft talked about the companies plans for improving accessibility, he confirmed that the company is actively listening to the community and their feedback to improve the accessibility of not only The Division 2 but across all upcoming games.
YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE Transfer Money with Facebook Messenger.
He explained that features like the menu narrator and HUD customization are "part of a larger initiative to make our games more accessible for all players". Feedback played a major part in creating these features since blind and low vision players have been requesting them for a while.
In response to recent comments about The Division 2, Ubisoft Massive tells us it's their plan to address some of the issues in upcoming updates. Concerning the menu narrator, they're "looking at supporting more and more parts of the menu over time". Text sizes are something the publisher is aware of, too.
"It was a matter of finding the right technology and the right design flow."
"We're going to keep making the game even more accessible through future title updates, and increasing text where it's possible is something we are definitely looking into."
Ubisoft may have already taken the first steps by including new features that make The Division 2 more accessible, but the room for improvement is clear. Ubisoft says it's listening and that there are plans to improve the experience for marginalized gamers in The Division 2.

Nothing beats the amazing experience of feeling and looking young. We do everything we can to stay young and healthy. If you were asked about one thing that you think makes a person look old, chances are you would say wrinkles. Of course, you would want to prevent them from ruining your look, don't you?
People spend lots of money and time dealing with facial wrinkles, only to notice clearly visible lines on neck still ruining their look. Wrinkles on the neck become visible for various reasons, including poor skin care, photo-ageing, excess fat and shrinking oil glands.  With age, the skin loses its elasticity yielding to wrinkles, both vertical and horizontal. So what can you do to get rid of wrinkles on your neck?
Cosmetic anti-wrinkle products: Despite the cosmetic industry going past the multi-billion dollar mark, people are often sceptical about anti-ageing creams. It is a common perception that cosmetic anti-ageing products are less effective compared to prescription topical treatments, especially in terms of skin tolerance and results. However, a 2008 study performed in Cincinnati, USA proves otherwise. After studying the effects of cosmetic anti-ageing products and prescription topical treatments on 196 women, researchers found that 'an appropriately designed cosmetic regimen can improve facial wrinkle appearance comparably with the benchmark prescription treatment, with improved tolerability (sic)' . So you can use an anti-ageing cream from a leading brand to get rid of those wrinkles from your neck. Make sure you gently apply the cream on your neck in upward movements.

Tokyo expands its options beyond the US-Japan alliance
Home /Collective Defence, Japan/Tokyo expands its options beyond the US-Japan alliance
Collective Defence,Japan |
Written by Alex Calvo.
When discussing Japan's 'normalization' as a military power, one of the aspects we need to consider is Tokyo's growing range of security and defence agreements with countries other than the United States. While not a replacement for the US-Japan Alliance, which remains the cornerstone of the country's foreign and defence policy, they are first of all evidence of how far Japan has moved forward since the end of the Cold War. Second, they reflect the dangerous neighbourhood which Tokyo inhabits, together with Japan's determination to seize the initiative and avoid excessive reliance on Washington while preventing China's might from concentrating on a single front. This latter concern is most visible in the case of Vietnam and the Philippines, where Japan is labouring to help improve coastguard capabilities. Japan is aware that should China succeed in turning the South China Sea into 'Lake Beijing', she would then be free to increase pressure in the East China Sea. It thus makes sense for Tokyo to help ensure that there are no weak links in the chain of countries facing maritime claims in the region.
It is important to note that a regional security and defence strategy cannot rely only on military assistance. Weapons may be necessary to wage war (and the no-man's land between peace and war prevalent in the Pacific) but this also requires a narrative, a set of values and ideas to present to domestic publics and to partners and allies, going beyond one's national interest. Tokyo is aware that this is going to be a long conflict, spanning decades perhaps generations, perhaps with no decisive battles, but rather a regular stream of incidents in parallel with diplomatic intercourse and tensions. It is thus necessary to clearly articulate what is a stake, why Japan is fighting, why not simply give in to territorial demands and hope that they will not be followed by further claims. It is here that relations with the United Kingdom are essential, being a key component of Tokyo's narrative. Japan cannot realistically hope to mobilize world public opinion if she either appears as an aggressive power or the conflict is portrayed in terms of a mere territorial dispute. Instead, it is necessary to refer to higher principles and ensure that Japan is seen as championing them, over and above the strict defence of national interests.
Tighter relations with London can help Tokyo reinforce a historical narrative based first of all on the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, a period during which Japan did not just gain recognition as an equal to Western powers but was portrayed as a force for stability in East Asia. The way in which her military behaved in the Russo-Japanese War also offers a welcome contrast with the widespread abuse and war crimes prevalent in the Second Sino-Japanese War and Second World War. Another historical dimension of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance useful to Tokyo at this juncture is the country's contribution to the Allied victory in the Great War, which again offers a welcome contrast to events during the Second World War. In addition to these historical factors, the British connection helps visualize Japan's commitment to the rule of law at sea, presenting it as a universal value which Tokyo is keen to contribute to, thereby favouring not only her national interest but that of 'maritime democracies', a favourite expression of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and cornerstone of Japan's narrative. There are many countries falling under the label of maritime democracies, including key partners for Japan like Australia and India, but the United Kingdom offers an added bonus: London went to war in 1982 to confront aggression. The shadow of the Falklands looms large in Tokyo, and it is no coincidence to see the Islands present in Shinzo Abe's public narrative. Japan fears a Chinese miscalculation, an invasion of the Senkaku Islands based on the notion that the country would not react, or that Washington would prevent Tokyo from doing so. Referring to the Falklands is a way to send the message that Japan does not just wish to appear as a bulwark of values such as the rule of law at sea and the peaceful resolution of disputes in accordance with international law, but that, just like the United Kingdom, stands ready to defend them if necessary, putting her military where her mouth is.
It is important not to forget, concerning relations with London, that the gradual opening up of the Arctic to navigation provides a further incentive for closer security and defence relations. This is one of the factors, together with a shared mistrust of China and the energy trade, also pushing Tokyo toward cooperation with Moscow, despite an outstanding territorial dispute and the current crisis between Russia and NATO. While we cannot call Russia an ally of Japan, we should note how the Southern Kuriles / Northern Territories are one of the few territorial disputes in Asia where resort to force seems unlikely.
Moving to Japan's Southern flank, a look at the map makes it clear why relations with Taiwan are of the utmost importance. Actually, the stress on retaining control over the Senkaku Islands is posited on the assumption that Formosa will remain out of hostile hands. Although the narrative from Taipei in recent years may be pan-Chinese, reality on the ground offers a more nuanced picture. The fisheries agreement with Tokyo is important not only as a possible template for other territorial disputes and a practical illustration of the principles behind President Ma's East China Sea Peace Initiative, but also as proof that there is scope for pragmatic engagement between Japan and Taiwan. Recent proposals for stock exchange links and President Ma's appeals for greater tourist inflows from Japan also point in the same direction, while the possibility that Japan may develop her own fighter could give Taiwan more room for manoeuvre in terms of military procurement. Japan may also play the history card, pointing at the relatively benign nature of her rule on the Island, but this could backfire given differing views in Taiwan, and it may be better for Tokyo to contribute to the reinforcement of a civic identity providing the foundation for the Islands' defence.
We could conclude by saying that, in addition to country-specific factors, the fate of this range of relationships may depend on Tokyo's progress in opening the door to a limited measure of collective self-defence, her willingness to co-produce and supply weapons systems, the ability to overcome opposition by domestic lobbies in pushing for greater trade liberalization, overcoming the historical legacy of the Second World War, Washington's posture, and the degree to which both Japan and her partners may be tempted to appease China in the hope she will drop or at least tone down her demands. The recent visit to Japan by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi confirms that Tokyo remains committed to the development of this wide range of alliances, while at the same time serves as a reminder that more concrete actions need to follow warm words for them to result in their full potential.

German-French Day
Germany and France celebrate German-French Day on 22 January.
dpa/Britta Pedersen - Deutsch-Französischer Tag
On 22 January 1963, Konrad Adenauer and Charles de Gaulle laid the foundation stone of German-French friendship when they signed the Treaty of Élysée. Both countries wanted to transform the conflicts of the past into a driving force for peace in Europe and cultivate an intense exchange in the future. The aim was, above all, to promote the exchange of culture and young people in the heart of society. The founding of the Franco-German Youth Office (FGYO) is rooted in this historical event. To mark the 40th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Elysée on 22 January 2003, the French President Jacques Chirac and Federal Chancellor Gerhard Schröder declared the 22 January as the German-French Day and sent a renewed signal to the young generation. The objective was to create enthusiasm among young people for each other's language and culture.
Hundreds of events
The first German-French day was celebrated on 22 January 2004. Meanwhile, the activities focusing on this day extend far beyond the day itself, and almost a whole month of German-French activities have developed surrounding it. The FGYO has compiled hundreds of events on its internet page which are taking place in January 2016 throughout Germany: students from the 7th to 13th grades are meeting in their schools, having breakfast together, listening to talks, or visiting French companies. It sounds like fun, but it is also strengthening the future of German-French friendship which has again been clearly illustrated following the recent terror attacks in Paris.

In the 1998 NFL Draft, the then-San Diego Chargers were so desperate for a quarterback, that they traded Eric Metcalf, a first-round pick, and a second-round pick to the Cardinals just to move up one spot and take Leaf. The rest is an unmitigated disaster.
Leaf threw two touchdowns and 15 interceptions as a rookie, completing just 45% of his passes. He then missed the following season because of a shoulder injury. He returned for his third pro season in 2000 and was only marginally better, tossing 11 touchdowns to 18 interceptions.
Leaf played a few games with the Cowboys in 2001, but that was it for Leaf, who will forever be remembered as one of the biggest busts in NFL history.


I recently came back from a trip to New York and because I'm obsessed with food and taking pictures of food, I thought I'd share some of the places I ate at.
When I step into Billy's I'm instantly happy. The smell, the cupcakes and the colour of the walls all do it for me. The cupcakes are the most delicious I've ever tasted. They are colourful and make you feel like a kid again. The cakes are also not to be missed especially the carrot. It's usually my first stop in the city.
When I landed late Wednesday night, I dropped my stuff off at Christina's in Chelsea and went right to CO. which was just up the street (9th &24th St.). I ordered the lamb meatball pizza which had olives and onions on it. I didn't really like the olives but the meatballs were delicious. I ordered it to go and it was ready nice and fast. It was a tad pricey but it is gourmet pizza after all.
There's a first time for everything and at Pearl's it was my very first time trying raw Oysters. Surprised? Actually many people were to hear I'd never tried them before but yes it was true! I first heard about Pearl's Oyster Bar (don't make fun of me) in GOOP, Gwyenth Paltrow's e-newsletter. And after asking a few other people about it, confirming it was actually worth going to, I asked Michelle to check it out with me. I was told to try the fried Oysters to slowly ease my way into it but we decided to go right for the raw ones. When they came to the table, they didn't scare me. I mean I've eaten mussels before so I kinda knew what the texture would be like but the whole slurping them right from the shell was definitely an interesting experience. Michelle's Oysters seemed to slide out much easier than mine. Mine were being difficult. But I managed to get the salty suckers out. Next came the 27 dollar piece de resistance and it was worth every penny. The lobster roll was one of the main reasons I wanted to go to Pearls and it was the best I'd ever tasted. There were at least 3 or 4 people on their own sitting at the bar eating a lobster roll. I should also mention there was a line outside before the restaurant opened, so go early. Michelle ordered the scallops.
Delicious cakes at this little bakery just around the corner from Pearls Oyster Bar. I liked the white on chocolate cake better than Amy's version of the red velvet cake.
What's that on top of the burger you ask?! Well I'll tell you! It's pulled pork and it gets better... the burger is called The Piggy! Delicious burger and great fries. A perfect place for lunch and a quick rest during a shopping trip in Soho.
If you like meat you'll love Hill Country. There is A LOT of meat! What happens at this fun restaurant is you get a card, line up and eventually find yourself at what looks like a deli counter. The friendly 'meat' chefs or butchers weigh what you order and wrap it up for you to take back to your table. I ordered a short rib. I tried to order half a pound but it only came as a pound because you can't cut through the bone. So I got a very large piece of meat and that's all I ordered. Well obviously I ordered sides too. We got portions large enough for the table to share - mac & cheese, potatoes, coleslaw and corn bread. Beware, you will be very full after a meal at Hill Country.
Recently opened I went to Tipsy with Mitchell, Nate & Gabriella. The food was good but it seemed like we filled up really fast on the appetizers and hardly had room for the mains. The mac & cheese was a high point and I really liked the caramelized brussels sprouts. The drinks were also fun and southern. Mine was frozen and froze my tongue. And now I can say I've tried fried chicken livers. There's also that crazy green dessert - a Grasshopper (mint mousse, chocolate cookie crumbs, chocolate custard & fresh whipped cream!). Nate thought it tasted like toothpaste.

Q: Overriding class method in ruby not working as expected I have a base controller to DRY up a lot of my bog standard crud controllers, the idea being that I only override each method if I need to do something non standard.
class MyBaseController < ApplicationController

  load_and_authorize_resource

  # Common crud actions

end

Now in one of my child controllers I have a custom action (export_csv)
class ReportsController < MyBaseController

  load_and_authorize_resource :except => :export_csv

  def export_csv
    # custom auth and other stuff
  end

end

Now I can no longer hit my export_csv action, instead I get an access denied exception. If I don't inherit from my base controller all is good.
I thought I might be able to work around it as follows:
class MyBaseController < ApplicationController

  load_and_authorize_resource :except => auth_exceptions

  def self.auth_exceptions
    []
  end

  # Common crud actions

end

And then override self.auth_exceptions in my child classes as necessary.
However this triggers the error "undefined local variable or method `auth_exceptions' for MyBaseController:Class"
Does anyone have any suggestions to selectively override load and authorize resource in my child controllers?
Thanks for any help.

A: Try in your derived class:
skip_load_and_authorize_resource :only => :export_csv

Doc's here: skip_load_and_authorize_resource.


With the central theme of "discover the power of the Utrecht Region", a partnership of 10 municipalities presented themselves as one of the most successful real estate regions in Europe.

For TALK international students studying abroad, the experience can be a little daunting – if not overwhelming – at first, having to adjust to your studies, your new surroundings and the effects of culture shock. During this tough time, students should seek out student counselor services to help cope them process all these changes. Here are some likely conversation points to think about discussing with your student counselor and dealing with any problems you may be having.
Change: When you step onto your host country terrain, you will immediately notice all the differences and contrasts to your home country. This can be quite exciting, but also stressful. Because change brings an unfamiliar and unknown feeling with it, you may well feel very overwhelmed. If you are struggling with all these changes, it is advisable to speak with your student counselor.
Loss: Feelings of loss also contribute to the international student's sense of loneliness and unhappiness. The kind of loss a student may feel could be their loss of status, as they have no position in this new society, their loss of contact with the people they love, and the loss of everything that is familiar to them about home culture, such as the food, the places, the atmosphere and the climate.
Value Differences: US values may differ from other countries and this can be challenging for international students. Some value differences may include social, moral, political, work related, and educational values. The greater the culture differences the more challenging your adaption process is likely to be, and the better advised you are to seek counseling or support.
Expectations: If you hold the US to certain expectations, you may find it difficult to adapt if these expectations cannot be met. Speaking with a counselor about your expectations can help you to understand them and see what is realistic about your expectations and what is not.
Social Skills: The inability to communicate and have proper social skills may make international students feel intimidated, and they be harsh on themselves. They may find it difficult to express their needs and desires, and in these situations it is good to have a counselor who can listen to them and help them express their needs in a way that can be understood.
If you feel you are experiencing any of these symptoms and/or culture shock, it is best to seek professional help with a student counsellor to help get you through this challenging adjustment period.

Published by Parkett editions, Zürich
Made at Factum Arte
Anamorphic key approx. 3 1/8 x 3/4 x 1/8"
Cylinder, 1 1/2 x 3/4"
Silver necklace approx. 27 1/2"
Edition of 50 / XXV

Re:think Original / Ericsson
On Call
Connections at the Core of Emergency Response
Food. Water. Medicine. Blankets.
Those four things immediately spring to mind when we think about disaster response and relief. But to get those supplies where they're needed—and to identify who needs them most—humanitarian workers, governments, and survivors need something else: the ability to communicate.
Established in 2000 by a group of Ericsson employees, Ericsson Response has set up communication networks after 60 crises in 40 countries. Staffed by Ericsson employees who volunteer to deploy on relief missions, Ericsson Response is a key technology partner to the World Food Programme and a member of the Emergency Telecommunications Cluster (ETC), a global network of organizations that provide communications in disaster situations.
Unfortunately, they'll be in increasing demand. Climate change is leading to more frequent, more severe natural disasters, which in turn lead to mass displacements and community upheaval. People rely on cell phones and connectivity in their everyday lives, no matter where they live. Alongside its ETC partners, Ericsson Response remains committed to applying its technical expertise when people need it most.
These are the tools that come with that expertise.
The Big Orange Phone
Satellite was one of the first ways humanitarians could communicate during disaster response, and it often remains a crucial first step in re-establishing networks. In the early days, the orange phone was iconic, as humanitarian workers in Afghanistan used it to make internal and external calls via Sweden through satellite. The device became synonymous to easy-to-use, external connectivity. Today, satellite communications also includes newer inventions like inflatable satellite dishes.
"It was amazing to see the satellite container landing on a hill outside of Kabul that was able to provide connectivity back to Sweden to the humanitarians on the ground.
Every humanitarian at the Kabul response in 2002 would recognize the orange phone with the Swedish number next to it. This phone system made history. This is where the reliance, the expectations, and the hope that technology could provide support started."
Enrica Porcari
Chief Information Officer and Director of Technology, World Food Programme
Radio is an essential tool for humanitarians and local officials, both for broadcasting information and short-range communications. Ericsson Response sets up and recovers radio networks for humanitarian workers, which is essential for security communication; it even saves lives in critical situations.
"In 2003 in Iraq, we were establishing communications across the offices where the UN and various NGOs were operating. One weekend, we were setting up a radio room, and we heard a scream from a woman on one of the radios.
We were able to see the ID of the vehicle that she used to call for help, and to call the Baghdad office and tell them what was happening. At that moment, I was able to see firsthand how critical communications are, because a convoy had been ambushed. The lady who called for help luckily survived, and it was because of the communications that we were able to identify where she was. "
Gabriela Alvarado
Chief of IT Preparedness & Response, World Food Programme
The process of bringing internet to a devastated city often begins at its highest point. The Ericsson Response team installs a wireless "star" point at the highest place they can access, and can expand the network wider and wider from there.
"I get in the helicopter, and we start by going to the highest, best location in town and putting what we call a star, a hub, there. We run up the tower and install that. And from that tower we can link out to all the different locations. In installing that first one, if you do that well, the rest of the job is going to be easy. You can just walk around and connect all the locations on the ground."
LP Svensson
Technical Expert, Ericsson Response
After a wireless network is established, Ericsson Response uses their WIDER system to control who's accessing an internet connection, and how much data they use. This allows technicians to give the highest priority to emergency communications, and make sure that people with less urgent needs aren't slowing down the connection.
"We need to manage this internet access. There could be hundreds or thousands of users in our system, and they cannot use this internet access in whatever way they want, because it's not enough for so many people. So we have our WIDER system, an access control system. The users log in to the system, and we can make sure that we distribute the bandwidth, the capacity that we have, evenly to all these different persons or organizations."

Even a single missing tooth can cause big problems for both your smile's appearance and health, and if you're looking for a replacement that will look great and stand the test of time, then dental implants are exactly the solution you want. A single tooth dental implant resembles a missing tooth in every way possible, and when placed by a qualified dentist like Dr. Stirneman, they have a 98% success rate and can easily last for 30 years or more. If you're ready to get rid of that space in your smile, schedule your free consultation today.
What is a Single Tooth Dental Implant?
A dental implant is actually a small titanium post that is placed directly into the jawbone, and this is then attached to an all-porcelain crown to restore the tooth above the gum line. This root not only gives a new tooth tremendous stability, but it also helps preserve the shape and strength of the jaw. In fact, while you are healing from the placement procedure (which involves a minor surgery we will perform in-house), this artificial root will naturally meld with your jawbone just like your other teeth. In the end, they provide a solution that completely resembles a real tooth both inside and out.
Security: Compared to every other single tooth replacement treatment out there, dental implants are by far the strongest, giving a patient the stability they simply can't expect from a partial denture or bridge.
Longevity: Single tooth implants have been shown to last for 30 years or more, much longer than other conventional treatments.
Appearance: Not only with the porcelain crown blend into your smile, but the implant itself will help maintain the shape of your jaw, which directly affects the overall look of your face.
The cost of a single dental implant can vary widely from person to person depending on their dental health, overall health, as well as the height and width of their jawbone. On average, the cost, which consists of the placement procedure and the implant itself, can range from about $2,500-$5,000 per tooth.
While a dental implant may cost more than a partial denture or fixed bridge up front, It is the better financial decision over time. Also, more and more insurance plans are starting to cover dental implants, and our practice has a multitude of financing options that can break up the cost into smaller monthly payments.
In the end, dentists around the world agree that dental implants offer the best solution available today, and with Brand New Smile Dental Implant Centers, we can make sure finances won't prevent you from getting your smile back.
If you would like to learn more about dental implants, how they work, or what one may cost for you, please schedule your free consultation today. We're ready to answer all your questions, and we'll help you find the best solution to restore your smile.

Undated_Elgin voters again rejected a school bond. While the 'yes 'votes came in higher at 442 to 356, this proposal needed 60% approval to pass and it only received a little more than 55%.
The $13-million proposal would have built a new middle school, funded by an increase in ad valorem tax.
This issue was a scaled-back version of a school bond issue voters rejected in December.
In Altus, voters elected a new mayor. Former city councilman David Webb won the position in a close race with 1,391 votes to current councilman Jack Smiley's 1,370 votes.
Arvella Wall was also in the race and received 444 votes.
Tim Murphy will take over for Mike Patterson as the next police chief in Altus. He won the three-man race with 1,438 votes. Bob Carder had a couple hundred votes fewer than that, with 1,216.

MPs reject the "right to die" as assisted dying bill is voted down in House of Commons
By: Clara Guibourg
MPs rejected plans for a "right to die" in England and Wales during a vote in the House of Commons today.
The assisted dying bill was rejected by 330 votes to 118, putting those opposed in a majority of 212.
If passed, the bill would have given some terminally ill people the right to get medical assistance to end their lives, similar to the arrangements that are already legal in some countries, such as Switzerland.
The bill was hotly debated, with some MPs calling the plans "totally unacceptable" and arguing they would "legitimise suicide". Others, meanwhile, applauded the possibility of having a "dignified and peaceful death".
Protesters on both sides of the moral issue gathered outside the House of Commons during the debate.
The bill brought forward suggested adults with less than half a year to live could be given a lethal dose of drugs, but only if they were capable of taking it themselves.
Similar plans have been rejected several times before, but today's vote was the first one on the issue in 18 years. The last time euthanasia was voted down in the Commons was in 1997.

Arlington first responders managed the incident command and response to the 9-11 attack on the Pentagon. The U.S. Department of Justice hailed the County's management of the response, and the 9-11 Commission called Arlington's performance a "model for the nation."
"The response to the 9-11 terrorist attack on the Pentagon was mainly a success for three reasons," the 9-11 Commission concluded in its final report: "First, the strong professional relationships and trust established among emergency responders; second, the adoption of the Incident Command System; and third, the pursuit of a regional approach to response."

The Ambush near Tanuševci was an attack by Albanian rebels of the NLA, near the village of Tanuševci on March 4, 2001 during the Insurgency in Macedonia.

Ambush

Background
On February 26 2001 fighting broke out in the village. By the 2nd of March 2001, 100 Albanian rebels had occupied Tanuševci and the forest around it.

Fighting
Albanian insurgents planted landmines on a road leading to Tanuševci. At 7:30 AM an ARM vehicle hit the landmines, killing two soldiers. At 8 AM the rebels opened fire at army forces, killing one soldier.

Aftermath
The European Union condemned the attack. Due to the ambush, Macedonia closed its border with Kosovo. Macedonian authorities sent around 3,000 to 4,000 men to tackle the rebels, but within days the rebellion spread around nearby villages. Around 500 residents of Tanuševci, mainly women and children, fled into Kosovo.

Q: Enumerable.Repeat perform badly with for loop on initializing List<> I am writing a list of PropertyInfo for store class's properties automatically. But it perform weirdly. This is what I wrote:
Class for properties:
public class ValueLib
{
    public int Value1 { get; set; }
    public string Value2 { get; set; }
    public bool Value3 { get; set; }
}

public class InfoLib
{
    public System.Reflection.PropertyInfo Info { get; set; }  // Store PropertyInfo of properties in ValueLib.
}

I'm expecting create a list List<InfoLib> to store the information. Which should have this result when I print InfoLib.Info:
Int32 Value1
String Value2
Boolean Value3

Here is the main script:
public class Program
{
    public ValueLib ValueLib { get; set; }

    private static List<InfoLib> _infoLib;
    public static List<InfoLib> InfoLib
    {
        get
        {
            _infoLib = _infoLib ?? new List<InfoLib>(Enumerable.Repeat(new InfoLib(), typeof(ValueLib).GetProperties().Length).ToList());  // Initialize list using Enumerable. ------(1)
            _infoLib.ForEach(p => p.Info = typeof(ValueLib).GetProperties()[_infoLib.IndexOf(p)]);  // Check every properties and stored the corresponding PropertyInfo.
            return _infoLib;
        }
        set { _infoLib = value; }
    }

    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        InfoLib.ForEach(p => Console.WriteLine(p.Info));  // Print every propertyInfo.
    }
}

When compile this program, it come up with this, which I didn't expect:
Int32 Value1
Int32 Value1
Int32 Value1

After a several attempt, I found it work when replacing (1) with this script:
if(_infoLib != new List<InfoLib>(Enumerable.Repeat(new InfoLib(), typeof(ValueLib).GetProperties().Length)))
{
    _infoLib = new List<InfoLib>();
    // Use normal for loop to initialize the list
    for(int i = 0; i < typeof(ValueLib).GetProperties().Length; i++)
    {
        _infoLib.Add(new InfoLib());
    }
}

It seems work but I wonder what's wrong with my original script. Thank you for any replies.

One of the consequences of losing your license due to a DUI conviction in Pennsylvania is the effect this could have on your ability to earn a living and get to and from work each day and support your family. The penalties for a DUI conviction are steep; in Pennsylvania the higher a drunk driver's blood alcohol content, or BAC, is, typically the more severe the penalties. (The penalties associated with the various forms of drunk driving in Pennsylvania can be found here). If you take a look at the penalties associated with having a certain BAC or your first or second conviction for DUI, mandatory suspension of your license can result from a conviction. A judge is also permitted to suspend a motorist's license even if not mandated for certain drunk driving offenses.
After you have successfully operated your motor vehicle for a year with an ignition interlock device, then you can apply for an unrestricted driver's license. To get your license back at this point, all you would need to do is obtain a certification from the vendor that installed your ignition interlock device that you successfully completed whatever time period you were required to have the device and then apply for an unrestricted license.

TV Review: Daredevil S3E12 One Last Shot
Fisk's long-awaited reunion doesn't go as planned. Nelson & Murdock take on a new client who holds key information on Kingpin.
The penultimated episode of the season is a fairly solid one delivering some things that are expected and some things that aren't so much.
There's a nice aspect to it as it brings Matt, Foggy, and Karen back into their lawyer element. They attempt to fight things through the legal system, something Matt has been rejecting for the season. It's also nice to see the three of them together and not completely crap over the legal system.
I've had some issues with the season as it has portrayed the FBI as incompetent and/or corrupt with little good coming out of it. There's also the NYPD who has been generally unhelpful as well.
To see the series pivot back to the side of the law is a welcome change from a season that has had Matt swing to far into the vigilante end of things and too much being corrupted. Every FBI agent is? There's no good ones? There's no one higher to go to? It's a little frustrating in that the insulated world makes it all seem a bit silly at the vastness of the conspiracy.
The episode also finally makes the Foggy for DA election plot line useful. It's a plot device which finally becomes useful and not just something for Foggy to do.
The end too has twists and turns that are more courtroom legal drama than superhero vigilante and it's some of the best stuff of the season. None of it's surprising and the end result is expected but still, it's nice to see a season which has swung so much one way get back to the courtroom in a way.
It's a good episode filled more with courtroom drama but some solid action sequences as well. A scene between Matt and Nadeem in particular is excellent and a great idea, something we haven't seen before.
One more episode to go but this sets up what should be a solid finale.

Quebec public security officials are calling for the immediate evacuation of an area along the Rouge River downstream of Chute Bell because of a risk of dam failure. The largely rural section of river affected is in Quebec's Lower Laurentians region, stretching about 15 kilometres south to the Ottawa River. An alert was broadcast at 3:36 p.m. this afternoon calling on people in the area to avoid river valleys and low-lying areas.
Almost 7,000 Canadians have received medical help to end their lives since Canada legalized assisted dying three years ago.

The commissioners expressed dismay Thursday that Facebook had rebuffed their findings and recommendations.
Five years after Canadian troops arrived in Iraq to help fight Islamic State militants, a different battle is looming — one that could determine whether the region is able to finally turn the page on years of war and bloodshed.

"This summer will be pretty important to them, honestly, as they move out of the wet season and into the dry season," Brig.-Gen. Colin Keiver, the commander of Joint Task Force-Iraq, said in an interview Thursday.

A spy scandal involving an Australian attempt to tap the phone of Indonesia's president has jeopardised crucial people smuggling and counter-terrorism co-operation between the two countries, officials have said.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has temporarily suspended co-coordinated military operations with Australia, including those which target people-smuggling, after significant public outcry in Indonesia over the reports.
"I find it personally hard to comprehend why the tapping was done. We are not in a cold war era," President Yudhoyono said.
"I know Indonesians are upset and angry over what Australia has done to Indonesia. Our reactions will determine the future of the relationship and friendship between Indonesia and Australia - which actually have been going well."
Angry crowds mobbed Australia's embassy in Jakarta, burning Australian and American flags on Thursday. Indonesia has officially downgraded its relationship with Australia and recalled its ambassador from Canberra.
The country's prime minister, Tony Abbott, has refused to apologise for what he calls "reasonable" surveillance, but promised to respond to the president's request for an explanation "swiftly and courteously".
"I want to express ... my deep and sincere regret about the embarrassment to the president and to Indonesia that's been caused by recent media reporting," Abbott told parliament.
The situation erupted after documents leaked by former US National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden, showed Australia's Defence Signal's Directorate recorded personal communications of President Yudhoyono, his wife, Ani Yudhoyono, and senior officials in 2009.
The surveillance is understood to be part of a longstanding spying arrangement with the UK, USA, Canada and New Zealand, known as the "five eyes" intelligence partners.
"I don't believe Australia should be expected to apologise for reasonable intelligence-gathering activities," Abbott told Australia's parliament on Tuesday.
"Importantly, in Australia's case, we use all our resources including information to help our friends and allies, not to harm them," Abbott said.
The document leaked by Snowden was dated November 2009 and was published jointly by Guardian Australia and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation state television network.
It details the attempted interception of various targets' mobile phones and lists their specific phone models with slides marked "top secret" and the Australian Signals Directorate's slogan: "Reveal their secrets, protect our own."
widespread US surveillance across Asia, including in Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand.
The combined revelations have strained a bilateral relationship already under pressure over the Abbott government's hardline asylum seeker policy to "turn back" boats coming to Australia, a controversial and highly emotive issue in the country.
Professor Greg Fealy is an Indonesian politics specialist at the Australian National University. He told Al Jazeera the situation was becoming increasingly serious.
"Every new day brings new sanctions from the Indonesian side and so far the Abbott government hasn't responded well to it," Fealy said.
He believes relations between the two countries have not been this strained since the East Timor crisis in 1999, when Australia's military went into East Timor during its transition from an Indonesian territory to independence.
"It has the potential to get worse, with the Indonesians withdrawing further cooperation [with Australia] in many fields," Fealy said.
"If there is a sufficiently wide range of retaliation then this could possibly be worse than the crisis of 15 years ago."
revelations her phone was also tapped.
John McCarthy, a former Australian ambassador to Indonesia, said Abbott must contact Yudhoyono to make amends.
"There is nothing, frankly, to prevent the prime minister saying to the president that it's not happening and it's not going to happen in the future. That's what Obama did with Angela Merkel and I don't see a problem with that,"
"It can't be allowed just to fester. If it festers it will get worse and it will be much harder to deal with, particularly as the politics get hotter in Indonesia."
Australian officials would also be expressing their frustration with the United States over this situation, according to Michael Wesley, professor of national security at the Australian National University.
"There are a number of reasons Australian officials can legitimately be very irritated with the Americans. We're in this mess because of an American security lapse," Wesley told Al Jazeera.
"I'm actually gobsmacked at both Snowden and Bradley Manning, at their ability to get highly classified documents and download them. It would be absolutely impossible for people of their level of access to do that in Australia."
"There should be real questions asked in the American intelligence community how this could have happened," Professor Wesley said.
Former NSA senior executive Thomas Drake said the "five eyes" utilise each other's services for information on other nations.
"Much of it is legit, but increasingly since 9/11 because of the sheer power of technology and access to the world's communication systems ... [agencies have] extraordinary access to even more data on just about anything and anybody," Drake told ABC.
Indonesia's minister for religious affairs, Suryadharma Ali, also cancelled a planned visit to Australia following the response from Yudhoyono.
told Al Jazeera the snub was a concerning sign of the deterioration in relations.
"It is still quite significant that a senior minister felt he couldn't come to Australia at this time," Kingsbury said.
"It's pretty disastrous, the issue has effectively ended ongoing diplomatic engagement between Australia and Indonesia."
"We've seen the cancellation and suspension of a number of points of engagement and that has quite distinct implications for Australian government policy in some areas. There is the possibility this matter could continue to escalate if it's not adequately resolved," Kingsbury said.
The bilateral relationship between the two nations will be "uncomfortable" but it will pass, according to former US assistant secretary of state for East Asia, Kurt Campbell.
"The relationship will be strong again, but there is a ritual quality that I'm afraid you [Australia] will have to go through, and very little you can say now or do is going to ease the next couple of months," Campbell told ABC.
He said the practice of phone-tapping was an acceptable part of international relations.
"I can tell you that some of the most sensitive spying is done by allies and friends."
"Some of the most difficult foreign policy challenges - terrorist attacks - actually emanated in Indonesia. Australia has good cause to understand the delicate dynamics that play out behind the scenes with regard to how Indonesia's thinking about some of those movements and some of the actors inside its country," Campbell said.
Australian opposition leader Bill Shorten said the "vital" relationship between the two countries must be repaired.
"No-one should underestimate what is at stake in maintaining this critical relationship on the best possible terms.
"Co-operation between our countries is fundamental to our national interest - working together on people smuggling, terrorism, trade," Shorten wrote in an opinion piece for The Guardian.
Prime Minister Abbott is expected to respond to Indonesia's request for a full written explanation into the phone tapping in the coming days.

Q: Why doesn't this transistor circuit work as expected? This is a circuit I have designed to work as an oscillator. But it doesn't work.

The way I supposed this works:
When power is ON, the capacitor(C1) starts charging through 1Kohm resistor. Once it reaches 0.7 volt, it trigger the Q1 which will almost short the point A with ground. This makes the C1 discharged which will switch Off Q1. The operation repeats. But This doesn't work and I am always getting the base voltage as 0.7v.
What is the mistake I am making?
Note: I have not connected any LED or speaker to this circuit. I just used a DMM to check the base voltage to see whether it is fluctuating.

A: Your misconception about this circuit is that you assume that the transistor "suddenly" does something when its Vbe voltage reaches a certain value.
This does not happen ! What does happen is a much more gradual process. So the transistor will start to conduct a little current when the voltage is around 0.5 V and will increase drastically from there. It will follow a diode IV curve because you shorted Base and Collector making the transistor behave as a diode.
This is a diode IV curve:

Note how the curve in the upper right corner has a gradual voltage-current relation and not an abrupt off/on behavior.
So your capacitor will charge to the voltage that is determined by the transistor behaving as a diode. That will be about 0.7 V. Then nothing more will happen.

A: when the transistor is on the capacitor wont discharge. the current will come from the voltage supply. you can remove the capacitor and nothing will change.
for building an oscillator you need an inductor parallel to a capacitor and negative resistor for the oscillation.

A:
simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab
By shorting out the collector-base junction you have converted the transistor into a diode. Diodes can't amplify current. The circuit will not oscillate.
