Man charged with kidnapping after absconding with ex-wife
On behalf of Roberts Law Group, PLLC posted in Federal Crimes on Saturday, May 17, 2014.
An area man accused of absconding with his ex-wife to North Carolina has been formally charged with kidnapping. The man allegedly took the woman from a West Knoxville area home in Tennessee. The kidnapping is reportedly considered a federal crime because it crossed state lines. The man could face a life sentence behind bars if he is convicted on the charges.
Authorities say the man has an extensive criminal history, including previous allegations of assault and theft. Further, he reportedly pleaded guilty to a harassment charge last summer after reportedly sending dozens of messages to the victim. In some of those messages, the man threatened to physically harm the woman.
Officers found the pair at a North Carolina rest stop on May 8. It appears that the man, age 53, brandished a weapon before abducting his ex-wife, age 51. He is accused of breaking into a building before threatening the woman with a gun and forcing her to come to North Carolina with him.
Experts say that the victim did have an active restraining order out against the defendant. Although it may not have prevented the defendant from allegedly abducting her, the order of protection could have significant consequences in the upcoming criminal proceeding. Legal experts explain that violating the existing order of protection increases the severity of subsequent charges against the offender. Assault, for example, is heightened to aggravated assault, a felony charge. Kidnapping and stalking situations can also be affected, which is why the man in this case is facing such a significant punishment.
Authorities say the man could also face a quarter-million dollar fine if he is convicted. It is not clear whether the man intends to enter a guilty plea. However, he has reportedly admitted to the crime.

Does anybody know how to access a table in the ArcReader .pmf map? I'm attempting to write code to move values from a table to a datagrid form but I can't find an interface that would allow me to use a table. Is this out of the realm of possibilities for developing with ArcReader?

TIFF 2015 | The Apostate (Federico Veiroj, Spain/ France/ Uruguay)—Contemporary World Cinema
Jose Teodoro/Cinema Scope Online, TIFF 2015
By José Teodoro
Federico Veiroj's A Useful Life (2010)—in which a middle-aged programmer finds himself out of a career after his Montevideo cinematheque fades to black—considered a post-cinema existence and decided it was just fine. Yet the film's irreverence with regards to its own medium was undercut by a formal elegance and sense of play that made cinema feel, in fact, very much alive. The Uruguayan director's new film, set in Madrid, conveys a similar ambivalence toward another fallen cultural institution: the Catholic Church.
Veiroj's shaggily handsome protagonist, Gonzalo Tamayo (Álvaro Ogalla), seems to have completed or resolved precious little in his 30-odd years on Earth. He's been in university for many years, with no academic advancement to show for it. He spends days lingering over books and records or enjoying erotically charged daydreams. He still pines irrationally for his cousin, just as he did in childhood. The sole objective in Gonzalo's life that he seems to have deemed worthy of focus and attention is to have himself permanently removed from the Church's baptismal records—rather than add something to his curriculum vitae, Gonzalo is trying to have something erased from it.
As this process becomes an increasingly quixotic struggle against an archaic bureaucracy—which at times feels analogous to contemporary struggles against Big Data—the Church looms over Gonzalo's consciousness with great aesthetic and intellectual power, to the point where even when Gonzalo appears to have won his bureaucratic liberation, he winds up enacting an ancient ritual exactly as outlined by the Church. Its low-key comedy reflected in camerawork that at times recalls Oliveira, The Apostate is inflected with a sense of mischief and wonder that teeters on the edge of the devotional.

Q: Scale iFrame css width 100% like an image I want to scale an iFrame through CSS to width: 100%, and the height should scale proportionally to the width.
With an  tag this works fine.
Both the image and the iFrame have defined width and height in the html.
Here some examples:

This works great on images, but I would like the same behaviour for iFrames:

The iFrame renders 100% wide but does not scale it's height proportional like the image does.

A: You could use viewport units here instead of %. Like this:
iframe {
    max-width: 100vw;
    max-height: 56.25vw; /* height/width ratio = 315/560 = .5625 */
}

DEMO (Resize to see the effect)

body {
  margin: 0;
}
.a {
  max-width: 560px;
  background: grey;
}
img {
  width: 100%;
  height: auto
}
iframe {
  max-width: 100vw;
  max-height: 56.25vw;
  /* 315/560 = .5625 */
}

A: I suppose this is a cleaner approach.
It works with inline height and width properties (I set random value in the fiddle to prove that) and with CSS max-width property.
HTML:

Please scale the "result" window to notice the effect.

CSS:
html,body        {height: 100%;}
.wrapper         {width: 80%; max-width: 600px; height: 100%; margin: 0 auto; background: #CCC}
.h_iframe        {position: relative; padding-top: 56%;}
.h_iframe iframe {position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;}

http://jsfiddle.net/7WRHM/1001/

A: @Anachronist is closest here, @Simone not far off. The caveat with percentage padding on an element is that it's based on its parent's width, so if different to your container, the proportions will be off.
The most reliable, simplest answer is:

body {
  /* for demo */
  background: lightgray;
}
.fixed-aspect-wrapper {
  /* anything or nothing, it doesn't matter */
  width: 60%;
  /* only need if other rulesets give this padding */
  padding: 0;
}
.fixed-aspect-padder {
  height: 0;
  /* last padding dimension is (100 * height / width) of item to be scaled */
  padding: 0 0 56.25%;
  position: relative;
  /* only need next 2 rules if other rulesets change these */
  margin: 0;
  width: auto;
}
.whatever-needs-the-fixed-aspect {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  /* for demo */
  border: 0;
  background: white;
}

A: I like this solution best. Simple, scalable, responsive. The idea here is to create a zero-height outer div with bottom padding set to the aspect ratio of the video. The iframe is scaled to 100% in both width and height, completely filling the outer container. The outer container automatically adjusts its height according to its width, and the iframe inside adjusts itself accordingly.

The only variable here is the padding-bottom value in the outer div. It's 75% for 4:3 aspect ratio videos, and 56.25% for widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio videos.

A: None of these solutions worked for me inside a Weebly "add your own html" box.  Not sure what they are doing with their code.  But I found this solution at https://benmarshall.me/responsive-iframes/   and it works perfectly.
CSS
.iframe-container {
  overflow: hidden;
  padding-top: 56.25%;
  position: relative;
}

.iframe-container iframe {
   border: 0;
   height: 100%;
   left: 0;
   position: absolute;
   top: 0;
   width: 100%;
}

/* 4x3 Aspect Ratio */
.iframe-container-4x3 {
  padding-top: 75%;
}

HTML

A: Big difference between an image and an iframe is the fact that an image keeps its aspect-ratio. You could combine an image and an iframe with will result in a responsive iframe.
Hope this answerers your question.
Check this link for example : http://jsfiddle.net/Masau/7WRHM/
HTML:

Please scale the "result" window to notice the effect.

CSS:
html,body        {height:100%;}
.wrapper         {width:80%;height:100%;margin:0 auto;background:#CCC}
.h_iframe        {position:relative;}
.h_iframe .ratio {display:block;width:100%;height:auto;}
.h_iframe iframe {position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%; height:100%;}

note: This only works with a fixed aspect-ratio.

VARV-CrmB is a TNF binding protein of variola virus. VARV-CrmB protein was previously shown to be active as a TNF-antagonist in a number of in vivo and in vitro models. Here we investigated the epicutaneous effect of recombinant VARV-CrmB protein using an experimental model of muTNFinduced migration of skin leukocytes as well as colony forming activity of bone marrow cells (BMC). Epiсutaneous applications of muTNF enhanced the number of cells migrating from skin flaps of BALB/c mice, whereas subsequent applications of VARV-CrmB protein in 30 min after muTNF, abolished that effect. Epicutaneously applied muTNF influenced the activity of committed hematopoietic progenitors causing a reduction of erythroid (BFUe+CFUe) colonies and increase of granulocyte-macrophage (CFU-GM) colonies in the colony-forming tests. VARV-CrmB, applied in combination with muTNF, demonstrated an ability to reverse this effect, namely, to increase BFUe+CFUe and reduce CFU-GM back to the control levels. Taking together, these data demonstrate the TNF-blocking properties of VARV-CrmB in vivo at epicutaneous applications. As effective TNF antagonist VARV-CrmB protein might be conceded as a beneficial candidate for future research and development of therapeutic approaches in the field of inflammatory skin diseases.

Frederick G. Hawxby, Asst. U. S. Atty., of Omaha, Neb. (Charles E. Sandall, U. S. Atty., and Ambrose C. Epperson, Asst. U. S. Atty., both of Omaha, Neb., and Barlow Nye, Asst. U. S. Atty., of Lincoln, Neb., on the brief), for the United States.
Before STONE, SANBORN, and FARIS, Circuit Judges.
FARIS, Circuit Judge.
The three cases above entitled were by consent argued and submitted together. Each of them is a plenary suit by the United States to recover on a forfeited bail bond in a criminal case. These bail bonds, toward which in each case the chief attack is directed, are, save for names, dates, and amounts, wholly similar. Extrinsic and particular facts do not so far differ as to justify separate opinions. Discussion of differentiating facts will, however, be had.
In the La Grotta case, No. 10065, appellant as surety for one Roy Walton was on trial to the court, adjudged to pay appellee the sum of $3,000 on a forfeited bail bond, which reads thus, signatures omitted: 'Know All Men By These Presents, That we, Roy Walton as principal, and A. La Grotta, as surety or sureties, are held and firmly bound unto the United States of America in the penal sum of three thousand Dollars ($3000.00), lawful money of the United States, to the payment of which, well and truly to be made, we bind ourselves and representatives forever. The condition of the foregoing obligation is such that if the said Roy Walton shall personally appear before the District Court of the United States for the District of Nebraska, Nebraska Division, held in Omaha in said District, from day to day of the present term thereof, and from day to day of any subsequent term and then and there to answer to all matters and things as may be objected against him, and then and there abide the orders and judgment of said Court, and not depart without leave; and if sentenced to be imprisoned, shall surrender himself or herself to the United States Marshal at the time when his or her sentence of imprisonment is to begin, then this obligation to be void, otherwise to remain in full force and virtue.'
This bond was executed and filed, March 29, 1928, and during the September term, 1927, of the Omaha Division. The next term in this division began on the first Monday in April, 1928. Thereafter (but date indefinite), Roy Walton
was indicted for a violation of the Harrison Anti-Narcotic Act (26 USCA §§ 211, 691-707). On December 5, 1928, and in the September term, 1928, appellant was notified to produce Walton in court on December 11, 1928. He failed to do so and thereafter on December 13, 1928, the bond of appellant was ordered to be forfeited. A plenary suit on the bond against both Walton and appellant was filed on January 26, 1929. No service was had on Walton, but appellant appeared and answered; his demurrer to the petition of the government having been overruled.
The trial was to the court a jury being waived. The evidence adduced was largely on stipulated, or agreed facts, supplemented only, by entirely colorless testimony given by appellant, testifying for himself. At the conclusion of the trial, both sides moved for judgment, thus conceding that there are no disputed facts in the case. Among other reasons, why La Grotta was entitled to judgment, he urged that 'the bail bond signed by him, as charged in this case, is not in manner and form as provided by law and is a nullity.' Other grounds, as that there had been no willful default, and so all or a part of the penalty of the bond should be remitted under the provisions of section 601, title 18 USCA, and that Walton was confined for a time in a federal penitentiary, on conviction in Oregon, of a similar offense, scarcely need to be mentioned. The court rendered judgment against appellant for the full sum of the bond and interest and this appeal followed.
In limine, appellee moves to dismiss the appeal and to strike the bill of exceptions from the record. As authority for its motion to dismiss, appellee urges the case of Law v. United States, 266 U.S. 494, 45 S.Ct. 175, 69 L.Ed. 401. On its bare face the above case seems to be authority for the position of appellee. But we think it clear that a fact present in the Law Case, supra, is lacking in the court's statement of the facts therein. That fact is that there was a conflict in the evidence which the trial court there had the right to resolve; here no such conflict existed, only questions of law were left in the case. On no other theory are we able to reconcile the Law Case, supra, with what we consider the settled rule. An examination of the opinion of thr trial court confirms the above view of the facts in the Law Case, supra. So, we think it plain that the Law Case, is not an authority for appellee's motion to dismiss, or to be exact, to affirm.
If the case of United States v. Payne (C. C. A.) 72 F.2d 593, is to be followed, the bill of exceptions must be stricken from the record. For the latter case seems to hold that if the time for filing a bill of exceptions after the end of the current, or trial term be extended, such extension must appear in the bill of exceptions itself, and not in what is sometimes loosely called the record proper, or primary record. In the case at bar, the extension, and a sufficient one, does appear in the record proper, but does not appear in the bill itself. Undoubtedly, in a highly technical way the objection is well taken; but few courts have put an appellant out of court for failure to print the order precisely where it belongs. Here, the order extending the term sixty days, for the purpose of filing a bill of exceptions, appears in the record proper; but no mention is made of this order in the bill itself. It seems an unfair hardship to require an appellant after having printed an order of extension in the record proper, to again print it in the bill of exceptions; or to state the situation more precisely, to see to it, that the order of extension is put, not in the record proper, but at the tail for the bill of exceptions, where concededly of right it belongs, upon penalty of having such bill stricken from the record. We are inclined to the view that in such situation, the lately amended statute of jeofails should apply and the motion should be overruled. Section 391, title 28 USCA.
Coming to the merits of the case, it is obvious that the fact that Walton was convicted and sent to the federal penitentiary from the state of Oregon in July, 1929, is no legal reason for his failure to answer on his bail bond on December 13, 1928, when the forfeiture was taken. Nothing is to be found...

Maa Tuki by Suchana Saha
Prateek Sethi
A poignant tale about a 25-year-old who takes care of her mother in a hospital. They delve into a nostalgic memory. There is an encounter of an undesirable change. How the two come to terms with the change is what the story is all about.
Suchana is currently pursuing her post-graduate diploma in Animation Cinema from Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute. She did her Bachelor's in Animation from St. Xavier's College, Kolkata. A proud Bengali, she is born and brought up in Kolkata, West Bengal.
AG: How did this project begin? What is the story?
The project was very much inspired from my mother. She is a breast cancer survivor. She is a very strong woman. I was working on a different project, when my mother got detected with Cancer. I went with her to all the hospitals and met so many fighters and listened to their stories. All my research was on breast cancer patients and their treatment.
So, I wanted to create a story of hope. Maa Tuki is an attempt to create hope.
The story is a role reversal nostalgia of a mother and her daughter. They encounter a problem, but they supported each other and stayed strong no matter what.
AG: Tell us about the research.
I was researching for breast cancer treatment for my mother. And I came to know Breast Cancer is the most common Cancer among women worldwide. If detected at an early stage, Lumpectomy/Mastectomy followed by Chemo/Radiation and hormonal tablets have given good results for many. But there is also a fear of surgery and chemotherapy by some. People are even reluctant for FNAC tests. Mostly it is a widespread misconception that Cancer means death. So, this mental strength, I wanted to portray amidst all the fears and blockades we have.
I came across few amazing doctors and cancer fighters who helped me with the research. I also looked into the internet for factual data and inspiring stories.
AG: Tell us about the style chosen and why did you go with this direction?
The style chosen was classical animation and coloured with water colour. Classical animation gives a very organic look and feel. Maa Tuki is also about faded memory and nostalgia. So, bright plasticy digital colours would have been inappropriate. Thus, I went for water colour and it gives a translucent texture to the film. The detailing was kept very simplistic because I really feel simple things connect very easily. The film has a lot of emotions, extra detailing and backgrounds would take away the power of simplicity.
AG: Tell us about the thought process?
I was really scared when the doctors told me about the surgery for my mother. And I started getting random images about it. I sat down and painted those colours. Few thumbnailing also I did for the images. And after my mother's surgery, I accumulated all these thoughts and put the story on paper. The story took shape with the help of Hemanth Saju, associate script writer and Gautam Chakraborty, my script guide at SRFTI.
AG: Share with us the production process thoughts and notes?
The summary was written on paper first. Then after pitching it to few friends I got the confidence to write down the script. Script was happening parallelly with thumbnailing. After script got locked, the storyboard was churned out. Character design, Production design followed the storyboarding. A pitch bible was also made for SRFTI pitching. A scratch sound was prepared by Shireen for animatics. Editing, Shot divison was finalized while doing the animatics. Pre-production took around 3 months.
Animation started after animatics was locked. After cleanup of the animation, Sneha transferred all the drawing onto water colour paper. Colouring was done by myself and Hemanth. Sidharth did most of the scanning. Ruchika was our assistant director who helped in all the things whenever needed.
Post production was mainly compositing the background with foreground images, compositing the line drawing and sound design by Dibakar. A DCP output was taken by Saikat Sir at SRFTI.
AG: What were the challenges?
Most challenging was time. Since it's a college project I had to finish it within a restricted time. But also, SRFTI has little relaxed deadline as they used to give utmost importance to the story. Next challenge was ethical hindrance. At times, I felt I am exploiting my emotions. But luckily, I got backed by my friends and teachers.
AG: How did you manage your time? What about the deadlines?
Pre-production and post production was mostly on time. But production went little slow because of human resources. I was very specific about water colour which took a lot of time. At times, I was highly demotivated because I was unable to finish it by deadline. But I knew what I wanted for my film, so I submitted my Animation line drawing for college submission and later submitted the colored submission after deadline. I did not compromise on the look and feel I wanted. My time management is not great I would say.
AG: How did you keep a positive outlook working through such a heavy and dark topic?
It was difficult. But most of the times, my friends, family and teachers supported me in every way possible.
AG: How has the festival run been for the film? What further plans for it?
The festival run has been very exciting for me. This is my first film which I sent for festivals and to get 44 nominations, 13 awards across 18 countries is really happy start for me. I received so much positive feedback and love from people all around the world and how they can connect with it. I am really happy with that.
We have also screened it in hospitals and Rotary clubs. Hoping to show it to more fighters and their families.
AG: More thoughts you would like to add?
I am thankful to Animator's Guild to cover this story. It boosts indie filmmakers like us.
I feel experimenting is important. Indian animation needs to explore its own stories, art forms, animation styles, storytelling patterns. We need to be open to learning and unlearning. We need to be more compassionate towards other. Everyone has their journey, their struggle. Covid is another struggle, but I am sure it will pass too.
We wish Suchana the very best and hope to see more good work from her and team.
Here's to Lots of Lak!

It doesn't freaking matter if its a misdemeanor. The people aren't being detained as a form of a punishment as you are pretending. They are being detained due to the nature of the crime itself and the purpose of the investigation. The punishment is they have no justifiable claim to stay is deportation FFS.

3 - DENMARK - CHEESEIT!
Short description: Ingredient-mix in powder format that turns legumes by-product into a nut-based vegan cheese.
CheeseIt! aims to redefine vegan food industry by calling every consumer to play a leading role in food revaluation. It encourages customers to actively reduce food waste, producing a high-quality vegan cheese with over a 50% reduction in the final price, in comparison to already existing vegan cheeses. Due to its powder format, it can be easily transported and stored with no thermal requirements and a long shelf life, which ensures a low energy consumption and a low carbon footprint decreasing CO2 emissions.
Vegan consumers struggle to reach their necessary intake of protein and vitamin B12 and are extremely concerned about production, transportation and consumption of food. As they consume high amounts of legumes to fulfill their protein requirements, they generate a by-product known as "aquafaba", the liquid produced when legumes are cooked, or in their canned version that is thrown away. Consequently, enormous amounts of high quality proteins are being wasted. CheeseIt! strives to revalue high quality vegan protein and transform aquafaba into a high-quality plant-based cheese alternative high in vitamin B12. Due to its flavor profile, it can be consumed in its basic version, while giving the consumers the freedom to create their own recipes, due to its versatility. CheeseIt! creates new tasting experiences and raises awareness among consumers about food waste reduction.

BOWMAKERS:
From the few specimens of Viking bows that have survived, as well as descriptions of the power and accuracy of bows used by the Vikings, it is apparent that their preferred bow was a longbow design virtually identical to the bows which centuries later led England to military dominance during the Middle Ages. Classic longbows are selfbows–i.e., shaped from a single piece of wood–and although a variety of woods were used to make such bows, then as now the finest longbows were made of yew. Today, yew trees capable of producing wood staves of sufficient size and quality for a high power, fine quality longbows are scarce, and only a few bowyers produce authentic yew longbows.

Ringcentral Plans And Pricing : It's always nice to cut as many parts as possible before starting the assembly. That way, you can set aside the dust mask, safety glasses and hearing protection for longer periods of time, and the air isn't continually filled with sawdust. Cut everything except the lengths of the drawer components. In case things get a little out of whack during assembly, you'll be able to measure and fit the drawers to the actual openings.We think you're going to find our newsletter and blogs useful and entertaining to read. Because we're all woodworkers here at Popular Woodworking, we generate a huge amount of valuable woodworking information that we cannot possibly cram into the printed magazine. So the newsletter and community are both great places for us to share what we know with you.Gather the materials for the garage workbench using the complete Materials List that you'll find in 'Additional Information' below. Then cut the 3/4-in. plywood parts to size following the Cutting List and Cutting Diagrams that you'll find below and also in 'Additional Information.' Cut a 15-in. x 8-ft. strip out of the 1/4-in. plywood to use as drawer bottoms. The leftover is the perfect width for the back (E); it just needs to be ripped down to length. Don't cut the drawer fronts until after the workbench carcass is assembled.These plans walk you through every step of building a face frame cabinet. You'll learn to how make a beaded frame, how to build a cabinet box with solid wood and lots of other professional cabinet making tips.In my experience, this technique works best with Scots Pine or Sitka or Norway Spruce commonly know as White deal, though I have gotten good results from common radiata pine, a domestic wood available from the big box stores in abundance. Walnut and poplar also lend themselves well to the curls and can be used to bring contrast to your designs.

Office Post. It's like 'post office,' but backwards and meaning something completely different.
It's official, everything even remotely connected to "The Delivery" is pure gold. Take, for example, the third deleted scene. Which contains what may somehow be my favorite Jim/Pam exchange ever --
Jim (exploding ovaries across the nation while cuddling Cecilia): Delivery wasn't so bad, right?
Pam: Hah! F*** YOU.
Jim: Wow. Well, now I just [need?] a wonderful ending. Kind of rough getting here, did not handle that well...(to Pam) I think you have to admit, you flipped out a little bit.
Pam: I think you should stop talking now.
Jim: Ooo-kay. Uh-oh. Someone's still a little sore. You sittin' on your donut, hon?
Pam: *flips him off*
God, these writers! It's like they just downloaded things straight from my brain. The subconscious part of my brain, because this is epic realism in a way I couldn't even consciously dream of. And then on top of that, more time with the increasingly less patient nurse, them being overwhelmed parents, and Jim mangling more baby terms. Loving all of it!
And I've already forgotten that one bit in a promo was cut (Jim kissing the top of her head & "I love you" while wheeling her into the delivery room). Tanster promises there are two more such scenes. You know what, I don't think I named enough holidays in my previous post's intro. Clearly this was like Valentine's Day & New Year's thrown in, too. Thanksgiving? The treat portion of Halloween for sure, especially after this next part.
ALSO! The Q&A with this episode's writers just went up, and I learned so many incredible things. My favorite was the part where they originally planned to have part 2 include everyone at the hospital, a 'natural comedy engine,' but ultimately decided that would be too much - "at the end of the day, you just hated everyone for stealing the moment from Jim and Pam." Um, YES? That is exactly what I was afraid of, that was exactly what I didn't want to see, and you checked yourselves! HI, I LOVE YOU.
-Love the thought & planning that went into the lactation consultant bit
-I thought that baby looked smaller than most TV babies. REALISM, HOORAY! Also, thanks, now all future TV babies will be ruined for me if they don't use 6-week-olds.
-I didn't think explanation was necessary, but they mocked up a quick outline of how Jim's car got itself parked in the lot anyway. Seriously, best writers ever.
-A Michael scene was cut for smooth editing flow. WOOT.
-I notice they referred to the baby as Cece. God, are we going with that as the nickname, for real? Because I JUST got accustomed to calling her 'Celia' for short in my head, as I'm back to thinking that anything which sounds like 'CC' is all tough and sporty and not...really a name, in the end. This name is driving me batty, augh!
-There was Dwight/Rolph interaction, but it was cut for time. I LOVE IT SO MUCH WHEN STUPID THINGS ARE CUT FOR TIME, INSTEAD OF JIM/PAM THINGS. (which some were, but I specifically mean, there were like 325 hospital scenes, and zero Rolph scenes. Ordinarily they'd try to be annoying and balance it out fairly, but not this time, bwahahaha!)
-I am going to live in eternal hope that the longer version of Pam's speech with the baby at the end makes it onto the DVDs, because that would make my life
-Jenna & John became pro swaddlers. Awesome. Also, awww at Jenna saying the crying babies broke her heart. Basically, I love everything she has said in every interview about her first time working with infants.
-Holy cow, so much detail on how they recorded the delivery room audio! I thought that would remain a mystery forever. This is my new favorite part.
-Spoke too soon, NOW my favorite part is the fact that they actually told us what 'the birth song' was going to be. Fine attention to detail.
End result: no offense, but if these guys - I should really look up their names; Charlie Grandy and Danny Chun? - could somehow usurp Mindy Kaling's spot in the writer's room and promote her to full-time actress, I think I would have better feelings about this series overall.
The Office, "St. Patrick's Day"
And now, for the traditional slump that necessarily follows a mind-bogglingly good installment. Which is fine, as I was in need of a recovery period anyway.
1. "Tweedledee and Tweedledumbass." I don't even know what to do with those nicknames, but I suddenly want people to use them all the time. Dwight being funny has turned into a rare thing, so bring it on! I MUST HAVE MORE MEGADESK. The poorly named Quad Desk was also hilarious. As was Jim just randomly throwing all Dwight's spillover onto the floor.
2. Tonight, I elicited squeals of equal admiration over both the giant Great Danes and the picture of the tiny baby. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME THESE DAYS? DOGS > BABIES, FOOL! But...she was sleeping...and she was wearing a wee tiny green outfit! With shamrocks! Ugh, I don't even recognize myself anymore. I mean.
vs. = no brainer, right?
3. That said, the Halpert family things were far and away the highlights of the episode, and my heart soared over Erin calling Jim "Dad" (boy, that looks weird written out), both sweet phone calls home, and the fact that all the Dwight needling in the world couldn't hide the fact that he is so, so happy about being a father. ALSO: new baby picture on the desk. Dying of Teh Qte, BRB.
4. "It's kind of like that lip thing she did last night, like a half-snarl, half-smile? I get the sense that she's very ironic." Remember how Pam being at art school and existing through phone calls was THE WORST THING EVER? Yeah, totally acceptable right now. *melts in happy puddle of contentment*
5. "I am not surprised that Dwight's using my baby to steal my desk. ...I'm a little surprised that it's working."
Hee! On that note, though, I love that Jim spent most of the episode casually neutralizing and/or reflecting Dwight's zingers without even trying. "Is that what happened to you?" "Oh, it's tough being here for a *lot* of reasons." It is so nice seeing him non-frazzled again.
6. I redact anything complimentary I may have said about Andy last week. The magic is gone, he is back to being excruciating. Not half as bad as that dipwad with a cotton-fluff brain he's pursuing, though - there, that's my positive Andy thought for the day. Even my mom turned to me tonight and said, "God, she is really annoying. I wanted to like her, but she's so irritating." So. Haha. VICTORY.
7. (If I weren't still in a bliss coma from the overload of baby scenes last week, I would probably be SUPER ANGRY about the gross waste of time that was Andy at Erin's house. As it is, I'm going to let them have one free pass. But don't make a habit of it.)
8. I thought it was pretty cool that Darryl made an amazing suggestion about shipping efficiency, and was taken seriously. In fact, it was so logical and realistic that I'm not quite sure how it happened on this show. And then, as a freebie, they even acknowledged that Jim's old office exists? I like that.
9. You know, I've felt the strangest sense of calm for the past few years. No matter how positive or negative things were at any given time, there was always this mysterious aura of bliss and peace floating over the series. I now know that feeling was called NO PACKER.
10. Aside from him, though, I loved everything about the gang at the bar. Just an amazing sense of camaraderie and fun that I haven't felt in a while. And of note: Meredith looked amazing. The white jacket she wore to work was surprisingly fancy, and her green dance floor dress was pretty, not to mention the adorable flowers in her hair...I don't know, guys, I sort of want to copy everything down to the last detail. I loved the green outfits/accents/accessories on everybody in this episode, but she was by far my favorite.
[EDIT: 11. I was deliriously happy for about five seconds when Andy referenced How I Met Your Mother. Then my heart plummeted in despair as it realized that would joss this amazing crossover story, and that's a tragedy. So we're going to have to retcon Andy's reference out of existence.]
WHILE I AM HERE, Survivor
Let me tell you, it is a fortuitous thing that I not only have dollar store chocolate but frosted chocolate cake on hand - totally by coincidence, too - because otherwise this episode's SINFULLY DELICIOUS CHOCOLATE FEST would have driven me criminally insane. Thank heaven for unintentional preparation!
On a related note, what crawled up Colby's butt and died? Why did he (and the rest of the group) act like being offered a free sample of chocolate before the challenge was some kind of personal affront? Why are the Heroes so full of FAIL, all the time now? I mean, as much as I didn't want to see James go down to injury twice in a row, and as much as I sympathized with Amanda crying and decided I loved the protective big brother/little sister dynamic going on there, losing yet ANOTHER one of my beloved favorites (Tom) is starting to wear my nerves real thin. Everyone randomly hating Candice all the time doesn't help.
Also: JT, stop sucking as a human being. I mean it. Why are you deliberately making sure no one trusts you? And why hasn't that sort of behavior made him a target yet? Feeling disillusioned by season at the moment; hope things get better on other side of the non-fandom March Madness break.

A Sorry State
About A Sorry State
A lot people in the U.S. owe an apology to Taiwan
By Michael Shmarak, June 30, 2018 at 9:56 am
A Sorry State is on the road!
Well, technically, it is north/west on 94 in Milwaukee, where I have been working with a great team at Summerfest with an exciting Taiwanese government organization called TAITRA.
This could be the only time that "exciting" and "government" are in the same sentence, but when you look at things from the Taiwanese point of view, there are a lot of things to get excited about.
Sponsored by the government and industry organizations, TAITRA assists enterprises in Taiwan to expand their global reach. TAITRA has formed a global network dedicated to promoting world trade for Taiwan, but also looks for ways to help businesses here in the United States gain access to Taiwanese markets.
That last point is important, perhaps more so than ever.
A Two-Way Street
In today's red state/blue state society, it has become all too common for foreign visitors to either not be welcomed or (in the case of families on the U.S./Mexico border) to be treated as second-class citizens, or worse. It has become even more common for people not from the United States to be shunned, to be looked at funny or in some cases, berated by people who say they should "go home where they belong."
Attendees at Summerfest in Milwaukee look at products from the TAIWAN EXCELLENCE Experience Zone, showcasing how products from Taiwan can enter the lives of any of us.
Here in Wisconsin, Foxconn, the global electronics manufacturer, broke ground on a new plant in the Racine/Mt. Pleasant area. President 45–who has touted on several occasions it was his doing that Foxconn came here–came to Wisconsin for a groundbreaking ceremony. Despite the new investment made in the state, many Wisconsin residents are both skeptical about Foxconn and skeptical about the state's generous offer to lure Foxconn here. A Marquette University Law School poll of 800 registered voters found 46 percent of respondents believe the multi-billion-dollar state incentives package for Foxconn isn't worth it…
…but don't bother telling that to the people from TAITRA. This team of dedicated professionals has come to Milwaukee promoting a mutually beneficial position that shows that Taiwan wants to welcome Wisconsin companies on to their turf as much as Wisconsin has been welcoming to them at Summerfest. For that, a lot of Wisconsin residents have been looking themselves in the mirror because they are realizing their perceptions about people who are not "their own" are wrong.
While apologies should be verbalized, acceptance of apologies can be handled in many ways–and the Taiwanese are showcasing more than 50 ways to do it. The country bestows TAIWAN EXCELLENCE Awards to products that exemplify innovative R&D, quality, design, and marketing. In Taiwan, these awards are as big a deal as winning a Grammy or Emmy award–it's on that level–because they serve as examples of the domestic industries within the country and are promoted by the government to shape the creative image for Taiwanese businesses.
These products are starting positive relationships and discussions about how Taiwan can be a part of the lives, if we find the right/best way to let them in. In doing so, they are breaking stereotypes about what Taiwan is. In getting to know the numerous Taiwanese professionals I have worked with over the past few months, they WANT to form these relationships.
Start While You're Young
One of the ways that my team suggested that we shatter the mold is to connect with Milwaukee's youngest generations to see how THEY think technology and innovation is entering their lives. It was gratifying to see and hear how they view Taiwan, and how they think tech will become more a part of their lives.
One of the most gratifying things I did with TAITRA is overseeing two events with The Betty Brinn Children's Museum and the Discovery World Science & Technology Center to help demonstrate this two-way street that Taiwan wants to form. Thankfully, they didn't hear just from me–they met a programmable robot named RoboHero–or as the Discovery World kids named him that day, Bob. Sure, these kids were beyond curious; their imaginations ran wild. But that's the point of being a kid.
So if these kids can let their minds run free about someone who they don't know, why can't grown-ups?
As these kids get older, I hope they remember that there is a whole country urging them to be successful and to take that curiosity to places it has never been.
My hope is that country is the one that is not just focused on its own. For the Taiwanese have proven that they are looking at ways to help us as much as we can help them.

Q: Missing data when decompressing zlib data with Ruby Well I have a deflated json encoded in a request log and I need to decompress it.
I tried to use zlib, i.e:

Zlib::Inflate.new(-Zlib::MAX_WBITS).inflate(File.read("PATH_OF_FILE"))

It shows only a part of the JSON. Something like:

There is a lot of missing data because the deflated data is too big.

Vivian Maier: The Color Work
Since its discovery in 2009, Vivian Maier's work – and her life – has attracted global attention. It been exhibited all over the world, featured in mainstream media outlets, and circulated in multiple books and films. Even so, many details of the American street photographer's life remains a mystery.
We know that she worked as a nanny for 40 years in Chicago, and that she liked to spend time walking the streets, taking photographs with her Rolleiflex camera – with and without the children she was looking after. We also know that Maier took more than 150,000 photographs, many of which remain unseen, mostly of the people and architecture in Chicago, New York and LA, but also of herself, and her young charges.

Perv's House and more – Chicago's South Side clubs captured by Michael Abramson in the 1970s
Peppers Hideout, Perv's House, the High Chaparral, the Patio Lounge, and the Showcase Lounge – the names alone are intriguing. They were the clubs of Chicago's South Side in the 197os, which played underground funk, blues, and early disco, and which also played host to a glamorous crowd of music-lovers. "It was a living self-contained theatre," said Michael Abramson, the photographer who photographed the scene. A white man in a predominantly black crowd, popping off half a dozen rolls of film every night with a Leica and a flash, Abramson was an unlikely chronicler. But, throwing himself into the lifestyle, he was able to win his subjects' trust by getting into their scene – caught on film drinking, laughing, and dancing with his subjects into small hours, he "had a ball", he said. Born in New Jersey in 1948, Abramson was working on his Master of Photography from the Institute of Design, Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago when he shot the series for this thesis; the photographs won him a National Endowment for the Arts in …

Economic and Geopolitical Perspectives of the Commonwealth of Independent States and Eurasia
IGI Global
The Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) is a regional organization that formed during the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991. It has few supranational powers, but aims to be more than a purely symbolic organization, nominally possessing coordinating powers in the realm of trade, finance, lawmaking, and security. As such, it is vital to examine this region and its economic and geopolitical impacts on the world. Economic and Geopolitical Perspectives of the Commonwealth of Independent States and Eurasia is a vital research publication that explores the importance and influence of the Commonwealth of Independent States and Eurasia in the twenty-first century. Highlighting a wide range of topics such as sovereign democracy, economic integration, and foreign policy, this book is geared toward business managers, economists, business professionals, entrepreneurs, business analysts, and researchers seeking current research on the effects of political organizations like the CIS on various regions.

One update considerations though: Flux.last() used to skip throwing a NoSuchElementException on some category of empty sources (Flux or Mono that are Callable, like Flux.empty()). This is a bug and it correctly does throw now.
Otherwise, this release mainly contains backports of bugfixes from the ongoing development effort on Californium's first release in the master branch.
This will reduce the ceremony around backporting issues (removing the need for confusing tracker issues). We believe it will also help users know wether an issue has been fixed in a maintenance version, by having the github milestone show the earliest maintenance release a fix has been shipped in. Finally, it will help while looking at the fix's code because there will now be a single reference commit for the fix (plus a merge commit that might contain adjustments necessary to make it compatible with newest breaking changes).

The Negative and Positive Reasons for Being a Sole Proprietorship

Legal Expenses for Starting a Clothing Company
An entrepreneur can choose among many different business structures, including a partnership, a corporation, a limited liability company and a sole proprietorship. If the entrepreneur chooses to start out on his own as a sole proprietorship, he can expect challenges. An entrepreneur needs to be familiar with the negative and positive reasons for being a sole proprietorship before using that business format to start his company.
A sole proprietorship does not have the liability protection that a corporation offers. If an angry client sues the sole proprietorship, then the personal assets of the company owner can be at stake. The owner is also held personally liable for company debts and any losses that the company incurs. The sole proprietor can also be liable for any damages or injuries caused by her employees.
Legal Structure
Establishing a sole proprietorship is simple and inexpensive. The business owner can use his own name and Social Security number as the business identification, which eliminates the need for filing a "doing business as" form. A corporation, LLC and partnership require separate filings with some business structures requiring a lawyer's help to become registered. The sole proprietor only needs to register his business at the local government permits and licenses office to begin conducting business.
When an entrepreneur uses a sole proprietorship as a business format, she has no shareholders, board members or partners involved. The creative direction of the company is completely at the discretion of the sole proprietor. The owner gets the opportunity to see her ideas put into action and result in company success. She can dictate corporate culture and develop a staff that fits her vision of the company's future.
Financial Rewards
The owner of a sole proprietorship determines how much money he can make as an income. A limited liability company and corporation both have specific laws on how income can be distributed and how it must be reported. In a partnership, income is derived from an agreement between the partners. In a sole proprietorship, the owner takes on the financial burden of the hard times but can also reap the rewards of company success.

KATHMANDU, Aug 21: The government has barred chopper operator Manang Air from operating rescue flights in Gorkha, while Vayodha Hospital has been ordered to dismantle helipad at its premises that it had been using to fly tourists in need of medical treatment from different parts of the country.
These are some of the actions that the government took based on recommendations of a taskforce that it had formed to look into fake rescue scam amounting to millions of dollars.
The taskforce has recommended action against 13 other companies, including rescue operators, trekking agencies, hospitals, and chopper operators, that were found involved in the fake rescue racket. The taskforce had conducted detailed investigation against 27 companies in connection to the fake rescue racket.
Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation (MoCTCA) has sent the investigation report written to line agencies, including Ministry of Home Affairs, Department of Revenue Investigation, Ministry of Health, Nepal Medical Council, Nepal Rastra Bank, and Inland Revenue Investigation, among others, to take action against companies that were involved in the fake rescue scam.
According to an official at the tourism ministry, only two rescue flights have been operated in the past three months after the government started probing fake rescues. Companies were operating dozens of rescue flights on a daily basis during peak season.
Along with Vayodha hospital, the taskforce found Swacon International Hospital Pvt Ltd, Era Health Center Pvt Ltd and CIWEC Clinic Travel Medicine Center guilty. Similarly, the taskforce has recommended action against chopper operators Heli Everest Pvt Ltd, Manang Air and Air Dynasty Pvt Ltd after finding their involvement in the fake rescue of foreign tourists.
According to the report, Flight Connection Domestic Pvt Ltd, Easy Heli Charter Service, Alpine Rescue Pvt Ltd, Kailash Chartered & Rescue Pvt Ltd, Mountain Heli Chartered Service, Mountain Rescue Pvt Ltd, Himalayan Social Journey Trekking Pvt Ltd and Eagle Heli Service Charter Pvt Ltd have been found involved in the fake rescue scam.
The ministry had found trekking companies working in collusion with chopper companies and hospitals to conduct fake rescue operation and claim money from insurance companies.
The taskforce, which was led by Joint Secretary Ghanashyam Upadhaya, had investigated all data related to rescue operations conducted between January 1, 2015 and May 1, 2018. It found that Flight Connection Domestic Pvt Ltd alone received claim amount of US$ 22.4 million in the review period. Similarly, chopper companies were found charging $3,300 to as high as $43,000 per flight.
Fake rescue business flourished in Nepal in the past three-four years. A trekking guide told Republica that trekking companies sell packages at cheaper price and make money by conducting fake rescue operations. "Some guides were found adulterating food of trekkers, causing dysentery, just to organize rescue flights. Tour guide, trekking agencies, hospitals and chopper companies then share the spoils," he said, requesting anonymity.
The investigation conducted by the ministry also showed that foreign trekkers were also receiving kickbacks from rescue operators. "Some foreign trekkers also been found claiming money from insurance companies by showing fake bills from Nepali service providers," a source at the ministry told Republica.


Why can I tell you that I ran for five minutes but not that I *ran to the store for five minutes? Why can you say that there are five pounds of books in this package if it contains several books, but not *five pounds of book if it contains only one? What keeps you from using *sixty degrees of water to tell me the temperature of the water in your pool when you can use sixty inches of water to tell me its height? And what goes wrong when I complain that *all the ants in my kitchen are numerous?
The constraints on these constructions involve concepts that are generally studied separately: aspect, plural and mass reference, measurement, and distributivity. This work provides a unified perspective on these domains, connects them formally within the framework of mereological semantics, and uses this connection to transfer insights across unrelated bodies of literature. A generalized notion of distributivity is proposed and formalized as a parametrized higher-order property called stratified reference: a predicate that holds of a certain entity or event is required to also hold of its parts along a certain dimension and down to a certain granularity. The dimension parameter is a thematic role in the case of each and all, a measure function in the case of pseudopartitives, and time or space in the case of for-adverbials. The granularity parameter involves pure atoms in the case of each, pure and impure atoms in the case of all, and very small amounts of space, time, or matter in the cases of pseudopartitives and for-adverbials. Stratified reference is used to formulate a single constraint that explains each of the judgments above. The constraint is exploited to improve on existing characterizations of distributivity, atelicity, and monotonicity of measurement.
The framework results in a new take on the minimal-parts problem that occurs in the study of atelic predicates and mass terms. It scales up successfully from temporal to spatial aspect, and it explains why pseudopartitives and other distributive constructions are sensitive to the difference between intensive and extensive measure functions. It provides a fresh view on atomic and cover-based theories of quantificational distributivity. The framework is also used to account for the scopal behavior of all and of for-adverbials with respect to cumulative quantification and dependent plurals. Together with a novel theory of collective predication, the framework also provides an account of the differences between such predicates as be numerous and gather as they interact with all.

Connecticut governor's gun proposals include open carry ban
by: DAVE COLLINS, Associated Press
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont announced a series of proposed gun laws Monday in a state already considered one of the strictest for firearms ownership, including a statewide ban on open carrying expected to draw strong opposition from gun rights supporters.
Lamont revealed his latest plans to curb gun violence during a news conference in Waterbury with fellow Democrats, including Attorney General William Tong and mayors of the state's largest cities, as well as state and local law enforcement officials.
Lamont and other officials said the legislation, which also includes new registration requirements for ghost guns and monthly limits on handgun purchases, is needed to help curb rising gun violence and crack down on illegal firearms around the state. Hartford, for example, recorded 39 murders in 2022, the most in two decades.
"That sense of anxiety and fear that many people sense — it doesn't do us any good to say we're in one of the safest states in the country … and people don't feel safe," Lamont said. "Over this last tough few years, the shootings are up. They're up across the country. They're up in our state."
Lamont and others at the news conference also referred to Saturday night's shooting that killed 10 people at a Los Angeles-area ballroom dance club, in expressing their dismay and in talking about the need for more gun control.
The governor's proposals include a ban on the currently legal open carrying of firearms, while still allowing concealed carrying; limiting handgun purchases to one per month to discourage bulk purchases and illegal sales; and spending an additional $2.5 million on community anti-violence programs.
Lamont also wants to update the state's ban on unregistered ghost guns, which are firearms assembled from kits and do not have serial numbers, making them hard to trace. He said a flaw in the current ban has made it difficult to enforce.
A 2019 state law requires ghost guns to be registered with the state, but only those assembled after the law took effect. Police said it is difficult to determine whether a ghost gun was made before or after the law. The proposed legislation would require all ghost guns, including those assembled before the law, to be registered.
The governor, however, did not include in his proposals a plan he talked about during his re-election campaign last year — eliminating an exception to the bans on certain semiautomatic rifles that allows people who owned such firearms before the bans took effect to keep them.
Republicans in the Democratic-controlled legislature issued statements criticizing the governor's proposals as focusing too much on law-abiding citizens and not enough on criminals who aren't obeying the law.
"Today the Governor and Democrats pitched a familiar path to an 'everybody problem' by offering proposals that will again have law-abiding gun owners carrying most of the freight," said House Republican Leader Vincent Candelora. "Missing from their news conference was any talk about focusing on the people who are squarely responsible for causing mayhem in our communities."
Republican Rep. Craig Fishbein, House ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, added, "If enacted, these new proposals will do more to harass and restrict law-abiding citizens from exercising their Constitutional Rights, and little to curb the increased violent crime sweeping through our state."
The Connecticut Citizens Defense League, a prominent gun rights group, did not immediately return a message seeking comment.
Connecticut, state officials and experts say, has some of the toughest gun laws in the country, many passed in the months after the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting that killed 20 children and six educators. The state, for example, bans many semiautomatic rifles and prohibits magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.
More recent mass shootings, including in Uvalde, Texas, last year, have spurred new calls for more gun control in many states.
Gun rights groups, including the Connecticut Citizens Defense League, are currently suing the state in federal court in an attempt to overturn the prohibition on what they call "modern sporting arms" such as AR-15-style rifles like the ones used at the Sandy Hook school in Newtown and in many other mass shootings.
Waterbury Mayor Neil O'Leary, a Democrat and former police chief in the city, said fear and anxiety over violent crime are the highest he has seen in his four decades of public service.
"The number one issue for urban mayors is guns and gun violence, mental health. It is all intertwined," he said at Monday's news conference. "And the sadness that's in everyone's hearts about what happened in California last night is just another example of why we're all here in this room."
