Flagship incoming
Realme will take the wraps off its next flagship at MWC 2020
The company is teasing its "first global launch."

Realme teased its first global launch this week.
The cryptic tweet involving a set of coordinates points to MWC 2020.
The company is likely referencing a new flagship.
A smart TV isn't the only product Realme has in store for MWC 2020. As the company's European wing tweeted earlier today, the Indian brand, which has seen an incredible amount of growth over the last year, is also looking at the trade show for the launch of its next flagship.
If there were a realme global launch event, where it would be?
Shout out your answer here! pic.twitter.com/lo5Ngu5WX7
— realme Europe (@realmeeurope) February 5, 2020
Put the coordinates above into Google Maps, and you'll be taken to Fire de Barcelona, the annual venue for MWC. The "1st global launch" part of the tweet is also interesting and suggests the company's next flagship may be released simultaneously in multiple locations around the world, unlike its previous launches, which have generally focused on India and China first.
Much like it did with X2 and X2 Pro, the company's next flagship will likely be an upgraded version of its first 5G smartphone, the X50. Launched last month, the X50 5G boasts a 6.57-inch LCD with a flagship-grade 120Hz refresh rate. Where it departs from most modern flagships, however, are its specs, with the phone sporting only a Snapdragon 765G.
The upcoming flagship, likely called the X50 Pro, will probably have Qualcomm's latest and greatest: the Snapdragon 865. It goes without saying that it'll also have 5G connectivity.
The X50 comes with a 64MP primary camera, a 12MP telephoto lens, an 8MP ultrawide sensor, and a 2MP macro snapper. Hopefully, the X50 Pro's camera setup will be a significant improvement over its more affordable sibling. The other thing that'll make or break the phone will be its price, an area where Realme is known to be particularly aggressive.
Realme X2 Pro preview: Game-changer

Countries Cyber Cyber-5 ENVIRONMENT Environment Featured General Highlights USA
Communities wrestle with shark-bite mystery off Alaskan coast
24 July 2018 27 July 2018 Eilís Quinn, Eye on the Arctic	0 Comments Arctic, Barrow, Bering Strait, climate change, food security, hunting, indigenous, Nome, North Slope, oceans, sea lions, seals

Sometimes it's seals with amputated flippers.
Or even a sea lion snatched seemingly out of thin air.
But for at least 10 years, subsistence harvesters in Alaska's coastal communities have occasionally encountered mysterious injuries on the marine mammals they rely on for food.
The wound patterns suggest shark attacks. And community members, researchers, biologists and veterinarians are monitoring the situation to find out what's going on, how it's happening, and most importantly, why now.

Brandon Ahmasuk, the subsistence resources program director at Kawerak, a non-profit corporation in Alaska's Bering Strait region, says hunters contact him and even send pictures, when they encounter the strange injuries.
In most cases, it's unclear where the original attacks took place. But the reports have come in from subsistence hunters everywhere from the city of Nome to the Arctic Alaskan city of Utqiaġvik.
"A seal harvested with an amputated flipper isn't normal," said Ahmasuk in a telephone interview from Nome with Eye on the Arctic. "Some of the amputations were clear up to the hip area of the seals. And again, not normal.
"There were one of two seals with their heads completely bit off (that) washed up on the beach. There were one or two that had bite marks out of their sides in the rib cage area, and again, clean cut, semi-circle bite marks."
Feature Interview
Listen here for Eye on the Arctic's conversation with Brandon Ahmasuk for more on climate change, how it's affecting Alaska's subsistence hunters, and the details reported by St. Lawrence Island hunters after witnessing a shark attack on a 600-kilogram sea lion:

"I don't want cause region-wide, state-wide panic, just awareness that climate change is here, we're seeing it," says Kawerak's Brandon Ahmasuk. (Courtesy Kawerak Subsistence Program)
Mystery cause
Subsistence harvesters and researchers can't say for sure that sharks are the culprit, but the injury patterns strongly suggest these ocean predators from further south, not sharks native to the region, are responsible for the injuries, probably moving North as the climate warms.
"We do have sharks in the North but they are primarily thought to be scavengers, not active predators," Gay Sheffield, the Bering Strait agent for Alaska Sea Grant, a research, education, and outreach program headquartered at University of Alaska Fairbanks, said in a phone interview.
"There are not many marine animals that we have here that would want to cause these injuries, so, it seems as if we have new players. For example, we're getting more of the typical prey of the central Bering Sea in our region, like steller sea lion activity. We wonder whether they're bringing some of their predators, like the white shark, up with them as the climate warms."
Killer whale attacks have also all but been ruled out.
"We're talking about amputated back flippers of large, up to 280-pound seals," Sheffield said. " The bones are sheared. We see triangular shaped avulsions and the penetration marks aren't the round peg of an orca whale tooth, but more as if a knife blade was stabbed in the seal."
Looking for clues

No research project is currently underway to get to the bottom of what the coastal communities are seeing, or give precise injury numbers, but Ahmasuk estimates there's been a few dozen reports of such injuries to date.
Gay Sheffield says that the environmental knowledge of Alaska's subsistence harvesters goes back for generations, so when they see something and are concerned enough to report it, it's a big red flag.
"Collaborating and communicating with them, real teamwork, is what will help get the next pieces of evidence. Their lives are so closely intertwined with these animals, if there's anyone that's going to find the next clues concerning what's going on, it's the people along the coast here."
Food security concerns
Ahmasuk says coastal communities have voiced little worry around human safety, but are very concerned about how sharks moving north may affect the marine mammals they rely on for food.
"Getting outside groceries to the villages is very expensive," he said. "They have no choice but to subsidize what they're eating with what mother nature provides. These sharks that are showing up, is this possibly going be having a negative impact on our marine mammals that are already here?"

Sheffield says it's important not to look at the bite marks in isolation, but in the context of other environmental changes going on in Alaska.
"In the Bering Strait region, we're undergoing significant sea ice reduction and environmental changes in the marine environment. Our big story is more than just the bites, its the big environmental shift going on around us; seabird die offs, unprecedented sea ice loss, so yeah, are sharks now a reality too? We'd really like to understand better what's at play here."

In the past two months alone, attacks against the sector soared 45% - more than double the rate of other sectors, Check Point says.
Hospitals and other healthcare organizations bore the brunt of cyberattacks last year, all the while struggling to cope with the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to a new report this week from Check Point Software, attacks on healthcare entities worldwide jumped 45% in the past two months as attackers tried to take advantage of the pandemic by disrupting operations and extorting ransoms from organizations under tremendous pressure to provide uninterrupted services.

The increase in attacks was, in fact, double the increase in cyberattacks on all other industries, Check Point says. On average, healthcare organizations experienced 626 attacks per week in November, compared with 430 attacks on average in the previous months. The most common attack vectors were ransomware, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS), botnets, and remote code execution attacks.
Health organizations in Central Europe were hit particularly hard, Check Point's data shows. Attacks there increased 145% in November and December, followed by attacks on organizations in East Asia (137% increase), Latin America (112% increase), and Europe (67% increase). Attacks on North American healthcare organizations increased by 37%. At a country-specific level, Canada topped the list with a 200% increase in cyberattacks against hospitals and other healthcare entities.
Check Point's latest statistics pertain to attacks the company detected and blocked specifically on networks belonging to its healthcare customers. But the trend is consistent with the alarming number of cyberattacks others have reported in recent months against the healthcare industry.
According to Mimecast, for instance, 90% of healthcare organizations experienced e-mail borne attacks — the most common vector for phishing scams — last year. The activity was especially heavy during the first 100 days of the COVID-19 outbreak, causing significant downtime for almost three-quarters of impacted organizations.
Zscaler, meanwhile, counted a staggering 1.6 billion SSL-based attacks that targeted organizations in the healthcare sector between January and September 2020. That number represents 25.5% of all attacks delivered over encrypted channels during that time frame. Eighty-four percent of all encrypted threats blocked for the healthcare sector were malicious web content, says Deepen Desai, CISO and vice president of security threat research at Zscaler.
Another major attack trend for the healthcare sector was a significant increase in the use of cloud storage service providers like Amazon Web Services, Google, Azure, and Dropbox to host malicious content used in attacks, he says. Attacks against the healthcare industry originating from cloud storage providers skyrocketed from around 55 million in April 2020 to some 396 million in September, according to Zscaler.
Healthcare organizations were also among the most targeted in ransomware attacks last year. Researchers from Zscaler's ThreatLabZ observed a 500% increase in ransomware attacks delivered over encrypted channels between March and September 2020, with the healthcare sector being the second most targeted after the communication sector.
Check Point reported a 71% increase in ransomware attacks against healthcare entities last October, making it the most heavily targeted sector for the month. Seventy-five percent of the attacks involved Ryuk — a ransomware family typically associated with targeted attacks.
The surge in ransomware attacks against hospitals and other healthcare organizations last fall prompted the FBI, the Department of Health & Human Services, and the US Department of Homeland Security's US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to issue a joint advisory urging them to take immediate precautionary measures.The advisory warned healthcare entities about adversaries using Trickbot and BazarLoader malware to distribute ransomware to disrupt operations and to carry out data theft.
"Malicious attacks across the healthcare sector throughout 2020 caused significant downtime for organizations, which resulted in productivity, data, and financial losses," says Matthew Gardiner, principal security strategist at Mimecast. There were many reports of disrupted operations and the delay of nonemergency services, which are both key to ongoing patient health and the financial health of providers, he notes.
Multiple Factors Drive Increase in Healthcare Cyberattacks
Security experts point to multiple factors for the recent surge in attacks against healthcare organizations. For cybercriminals — especially ransomware operators — healthcare entities are a perfect target not just for their sensitive data, but also for the fact that most organizations in the sector cannot afford any operational disruptions, especially in the middle of a pandemic. Security experts say cybercriminals perceive hospitals and other healthcare entities as generally more willing to accede to ransom demands because of the critical nature of their services.
The pandemic and the general stress it has placed on provider organizations was a starting point for a lot of the increased attacker focus on healthcare entities, Gardiner says.
"It is hard to prioritize IT and security when your ICU beds are filling up and planning around emergency expansions are taking priority," he says.
The shift to a remote work model for a lot of non-healthcare professionals, including IT and security personnel, also likely disrupted certain IT and security programs and operations, leaving organizations more vulnerable.
The situation was likely exacerbated by the fact that the healthcare industry traditionally has lagged behind many other industries in IT. Zscaler's Desai says healthcare organizations often lack security controls that others have deployed and are often vulnerable to known issues. Prolonged FDA approvals also can hinder the adoption of more secure technology, making it harder for healthcare entities to implement new security controls.
"For example, security in the healthcare sector is often hindered by legacy technology, with updates often delayed by prolonged FDA approvals," Desai says.
They also face the challenge of preserving compliance with the security and privacy provisions of HIPAA while looking to migrate to potential more secure channels for operation, he says.
"Without unified controls and centralized visibility and policy enforcement, the healthcare industry will continue to face gaps in their security controls that will always draw the attention of cybercriminals," Desai notes.
Other problems include the many years of underinvestment in modern security systems and IT applications and the huge variability in the size and scale of healthcare providers, Gardiner adds.
"Small, regional healthcare providers lack the economies of scale of billion-dollar healthcare providers that help to afford the best security related people, technology, and processes," he says.

Georgius Agricola (; born Georg Bauer; 24 March 1494 – 21 November 1555) was a German Humanist scholar, mineralogist and metallurgist. Born in the small town of Glauchau, in the Electorate of Saxony of the Holy Roman Empire, he was broadly educated, but took a particular interest in the mining and refining of metals. For his groundbreaking work De Natura Fossilium published in 1546, he is generally referred to as the Father of Mineralogy.

He is well known for his pioneering work De re metallica libri XII, that was published in 1556, one year after his death. This 12-volume work is a comprehensive and systematic study, classification and methodical guide on all available factual and practical aspects, that are of concern for mining, the mining sciences and metallurgy, investigated and researched in its natural environment by means of direct observation. Unrivalled in its complexity and accuracy, it served as the standard reference work for two centuries. Agricola stated in the preface, that he will exclude all those things which I have not myself seen, or have not read or heard of.[...].That which I have neither seen, nor carefully considered after reading or hearing of, I have not written about.

As a scholar of the Renaissance he was committed to a universal approach towards learning and research. He published over 40 complete scholarly works during his professional life on a wide range of subjects and disciplines, such as pedagogy, medicine, metrology, mercantilism, pharmacy, philosophy, geology, history, and many more. His innovative and comprehensive scholarly work, based on new and precise methods of production and control, has made his work a central part of scholarship and understanding of science during that period.

Etymology
He is often, although not universally referred to as "the Father of mineralogy" and the founder of geology as a scientific discipline. Poet Georg Fabricius has bestowed a brief honorary title on him in recognition of his legacy, that his fellow Saxons cite regularly: die ausgezeichnete Zierde des Vaterlandes, (literally: the distinguished ornament of the Fatherland)(doodad preferred). He was baptized with his birth name Georg Pawer. Pawer is a vernacular form of the modern German term Bauer, which translates to farmer in English. His teacher, the Leipzig professor Petrus Mosellanus convinced him to consider the common practice of name latinisation, particularly popular among Renaissance scholars, so "Georg Pawer" became "Georgius Agricola". Coincidentally, the name Georg/Georgius derives from Greek and also means "farmer".

Early life

Youth

Agricola was born in 1494 as Georg Pawer, the second of seven children of a clothier and dyer in Glauchau. At the age of twelve he enrolled in the Latin school in Chemnitz or Zwickau. From 1514 to 1518 he studied at the Leipzig University where, under the name Georgius Pawer de Glauchaw, he first inscribed to the summer semester for theology, philosophy and philology under rector Nikolaus Apel and for ancient languages, Greek and Latin in particular, He received his first Latin lectures under Petrus Mosellanus, a celebrated humanist of the time and adherent of Erasmus of Rotterdam.

Humanist education
Gifted with a precocious intellect and his freshly acquired title of Baccalaureus artium, Agricola early threw himself into the pursuit of the "new learning", with such effect that at the age of 24 he was appointed Rector extraordinarius of Ancient Greek at the 1519 established Zwickau Greek school, which was soon to be united with the Great School of Zwickau (Zwickauer Ratsschule). In 1520 he published his first book, a Latin grammar manual with practical and methodical hints for teachers. In 1522 he ended his appointment to again study at Leipzig for another year, where, as rector, he was supported by his former tutor and professor of classics, Peter Mosellanus, with whom he had always been in correspondence. He also subscribed to the studies of medicine, physics, and chemistry.

In 1523 he traveled to Italy and enrolled in the University of Bologna and probably Padua and completed his studies in medicine. It remains unclear where he acquired his diploma. In 1524 he joined the Aldine Press, a prestigious printing office in Venice  that was established by Aldus Manutius, who had died in 1515. Manutius had established and maintained contacts and the friendship in a network among the many scholars, including the most celebrated, from all over Europe, whom he had encouraged to come to Venice and take care of the redaction of the numerous publications of the classics of antiquity. At the time of Agricola's visit, the business was run by Andrea Torresani and his daughter Maria. Agricola participated in the edition of a work in several volumes on Galen until 1526.

Professional life

Town physician and pharmacist

He returned to Zwickau in 1527 and to Chemnitz in autumn of the same year, where he married Anna Meyner, a widow from Schneeberg. Upon his search for employment as town physician and pharmacist in the Ore Mountains, preferably a place, where he could satisfy his ardent longings for the studies on mining, he settled in the suitable little town Joachimsthal in the Bohemian Erzgebirge, where in 1516 significant silver ore deposits were found. The 15,000 inhabitants made Joachimsthal a busy, booming centre of mining and smelting works with hundreds of shafts for Agricola to investigate. His primary post proved to be not very demanding and he lent all his spare time to his studies. Beginning in 1528 he immersed himself in comparisons and tests on what had been written about mineralogy and mining and his own observations of the local materials and the methods of their treatment. He constructed a logical system of the local conditions, rocks and sediments, the minerals and ores, explained the various terms of general and specific local territorial features. He combined this discourse on all natural aspects with a treatise on the actual mining, the methods and processes, local extraction variants, the differences and oddities he had learnt from the miners. For the first time, he tackled questions on the formation of ores and minerals, attempted to bring the underlying mechanisms to light and introduce his conclusions in a systematic framework. He laid out the whole process in a scholarly dialogue and published it under the title Bermannus, sive de re metallica dialogus, (Bermannus, or a dialogue on metallurgy) in 1530. The work was highly praised by Erasmus for the attempt to put the knowledge, won by practical inquiry into order and further investigate in reduced form. Agricola, in his capacity of physician, also suggested, that minerals and their effects on and relationship to human medicine should be a future subject of investigation.

Mayor of Chemnitz

In 1531 Agricola received an offer of the city of Kepmnicz (Chemnitz) for the position of Stadtleybarzt (town physician), which he accepted and he relocated to Chemnitz in 1533. Although little is known about his work as physician, Agricola entered his most productive years and soon became lord mayor of Chemnitz  and served as diplomat and historiographer for Duke George, who was looking to uncover possible territorial claims and commissioned Agricola with a large historical work, the Dominatores Saxonici a prima origine ad hanc aetatem (Lords of Saxony from the beginning to the present time), which took 20 years to accomplish and was only published in 1555 at Freiberg.

In his work De Mensuris et ponderibus, published in 1533, he described the systems of Greek and Roman measures and weights. In the 16th century Holy Roman Empire there were no uniform dimensions, measures, and weights, which impeded trade and commerce. This work laid the foundation for Agricola's reputation as a humanist scholar; as he committed himself to the introduction of standardized weights and measures, he entered the public stage and occupied a political position.

In 1544, he published the De ortu et causis subterraneorum (On Subterranean Origins and Causes), in which he criticized older theories and laid out the foundations of modern physical geology. It discusses the effect of wind and water as powerful geological forces, the origin and distribution of ground water and mineralizing fluids, the origin of subterranean heat, the origin of ore channels, and the principal divisions of the mineral kingdom. However, he maintained that a certain 'materia pinguis' or 'fatty matter,' set into fermentation by heat, gave birth to fossil organic shapes, as opposed to fossil shells having belonged to living animals.

In 1546, he published the four volumes of De natura eorum quae effluunt e terra (The nature of the things that flow out of the earth's interior). It deals with the properties of water, its effects, taste, smell, temperature etc. and air under the earth, which, as Agricola reasoned, is responsible for earthquakes and volcanoes.

The ten books of De veteribus et novis metallis, more commonly known as De Natura Fossilium were published in 1546 as a comprehensive textbook and account of the discovery and occurrence of minerals, ores, metals, gemstones, earths and igneous rocks, followed by De animantibus subterraneis in 1548 and a number of smaller works on the metals during the following two years. Agricola served as Burgomaster (lord mayor) of Chemnitz in 1546, 1547, 1551 and 1553.

De re metallica

Agricola's most famous work, the  De re metallica libri xii was published the year after his death, in 1556; it was perhaps finished in 1550, since the dedication to the elector and his brother is dated to that year. The delay is thought to be due to the book's many woodcuts. The work is a systematic, illustrated treatise on mining and extractive metallurgy. It shows processes to extract ores from the ground, and metals from ore.

Until that time, Pliny the Elder's work Historia Naturalis was the main source of information on metals and mining techniques. Agricola acknowledged his debt to ancient authors, such as Pliny and Theophrastus, and made numerous references to Roman works. In geology, Agricola described and illustrated how ore veins occur in and on the ground. He described prospecting for ore veins and surveying in detail, as well as washing the ores to collect the heavier valuable minerals, such as gold and tin. The work shows water mills used in mining, such as the machine for lifting men and material into and out of a mine shaft. Water mills found application especially in crushing ores to release the fine particles of gold and other heavy minerals, as well as working giant bellows to force air into the confined spaces of underground workings.

Agricola described mining methods which are now obsolete, such as fire-setting, which involved building fires against hard rock faces. The hot rock was quenched with water, and the thermal shock weakened it enough for easy removal. It was a dangerous method when used underground, and was made redundant by explosives.

The work contains, in an appendix, the German equivalents for the technical terms used in the Latin text. Modern words that derive from the work include fluorspar (from which was later named fluorine) and bismuth. In another example, believing the black rock of the Schloßberg at Stolpen to be the same as Pliny the Elder's basalt, Agricola applied this name to it, and thus originated a petrological term.

In 1912, the Mining Magazine (London) published an English translation of De re metallica. The translation was made by Herbert Hoover, the American mining engineer and his wife Lou Henry Hoover. Hoover was later President of the United States.

Death

Agricola died on November 21, 1555. His "lifelong friend," the Protestant poet and classicist Georg Fabricius, wrote in a letter to the Protestant theologian Phillip Melanchthon, "He who since the days of childhood had enjoyed robust health was carried off by a four-days' fever." Agricola was a fervent Catholic, who, according to Fabricius, "despised our Churches" and "would not tolerate with patience that anyone should discuss ecclesiastical matters with him". That did not stop Fabricius in the same letter from calling Agricola "that distinguished ornament of our Fatherland," whose "religious views...were compatible with reason, it is true, and were dazzling," though not "compatible with truth"; in 1551 Fabricius had already written the introductory poem to De re metallica in praise of Agricola.

According to traditional urban customs, as a former lord mayor he was entitled to a burial in the local mother church. His religious affiliation, however, outweighed his secular prerogatives and monumental services for the city. Chemnitz Protestant superintendent Tettelbach urged Prince August to command the refusal of a burial inside the city. The command was issued and Tettelbach immediately informed the Agricola party.

Upon the initiative of his childhood friend, Naumburg bishop Julius von Pflug, four days later Agricola's body was carried off to Zeitz, more than  away and interred by von Pflug in the Zeitz cathedral. His wife had a memorial plate commissioned and placed inside, that was already removed during the 17th century. Its text, however has been preserved in the Zeitz annals, and reads:

To the physician and mayor of Chemnitz, Georgius Agricola, a man most distinguished by piety and scholarship, who had rendered outstanding services to his city, whose legacy will bestow immortal glory on his name, whose spirit Christ himself absorbed into his eternal kingdom. His mourning wife and children. He died in the 62nd year of life on November 21, 1555 and was born in Glauchau on March 24, 1494

Aliens: The Computer Game is a 1986 video game developed and published by Activision for the Commodore 64, Apple II based on the film of the same title. As Activision's UK subsidiary Electric Dreams Software  had independently released their own version of the game with the same title, the game was renamed for European release. Initially planned to be released as Aliens: The Second Part., it was finally published under the title Aliens: US Version with ports for the Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum produced by Mr Micro.

Gameplay
Aliens is a series of six minigames strung together via graphical interactive sequences, akin to an adventure game, though the only interaction possible is advancing the dialog, displayed in speech balloons.  The minigames are mostly action sequences that involve piloting a ship from Sulaco to the planet's surface, recognizing equipment, and fighting aliens.

Reception
At the time of its release, the game received mixed reviews, including the scores of 85% from Commodore Format, 8/10 (averaged) from Computer and Video Games, 45% from Crash, 5/10 from Sinclair User, 9/10 from Your Sinclair, and 60% from Zzap!64. Info gave the Commodore 64 version four stars out of five: "The aliens are appropriately creepy, and each sequence is well done & plays quite differently from the others".

Retrospective
VentureBeats Stephen Kleckner commented in a 2014 feature that "as with a lot of compilation-designed titles, Aliens falls into that trap of being a collection of mediocre experiences instead of a game with a singular focus. […] Hardcore fans who own a Commodore 64 should load this one up. Everyone else isn't missing much that a Let's Play video won't provide." On the other hand, Chris Cummins from Topless Robot wrote in 2010 that "the now-crude graphics aside, it's still arguably the best game based on any of the films in the Alien saga."

Exceeding expectations. Exceptional in every way.
Standby is a noteworthy leader in Detroit's ever-growing culinary scene. Within its clandestine location (enter through the old elevator shaft in an alleyway) is a harmonious offering of artfully crafted cocktails and exquisitely executed dishes.
The location alone makes the journey worthwhile. Walk past beautiful murals adorning the walls of The Belt (an alley turned outdoor gallery in the old garment district) where your destination awaits. There are two things to look for when seeking out this mystery location: one is the beautifully chiseled plaster mural by Portuguese street artist Vhils; the other is the slow-burning lantern that sits above a rusty set of doors leading you into this safe haven.
Few men have had a bigger impact on Detroit's cocktail culture than Joe Robinson, the owner of Standby. Mentored by Traverse Fourmont, who pioneered Detroit's craft cocktail movement, Robinson has been involved in the culinary scene since he was 15 years old. We at Grand Circus Magazine couldn't wait to get his recommendation for the drink of the summer.
Refreshing. Cool. Crisp. Earthy. Delicious. An artful & theatrical prepared cocktail. Dangerously delectable!

Q: OpenMP on Mac not working anymore I had OpenMP compiling and executing in C/C++ on my Mac but then I formatted and reinstalled a fresh copy of OS X. I believe the only difference in the setup was that I had Xcode 5 before the format, and now I have Xcode 6.
Now I get fatal error: 'omp.h' file not found
I read this has something to do with clang and gcc, but, my confusion lies with why did it work before and now its not working?

A: After some research I seem to have found an answer.
GCC included in the latest version of Xcode (Xcode 6) is only a symbolic link to clang. Since clang does not support OpenMP at this time, you need to install a different version of GCC. The easiest way to do this would be to use Homebrew or MacPorts.
Keep in mind that even when you do this you will probably need to alter your $PATH to have /usr/local come before /usr/bin. This is because Homebrew will have placed your newly installed GCC in /usr/local. Also, some implementations may name the command gcc-49 instead of plain gcc.

A: Mac OSX uses clang.The gcc compiler in OS X does not support OpenMP. To use this feature a new gcc compiler needs to be installed.
Go to Terminal, if you have not installed Hombrew, install it:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://`enter code here`raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

then install new version of gcc
brew reinstall gcc --without-multilib

This will not make changes to the existing gcc compiler installed by Xcode as we are reinstalling it.
After running the command given below compile the files using the new  version of gcc using the syntax : gcc-version -fopenmp filename.c
To find the version type gcc and then press tab. This will list out all the possible variants of gcc. The version number can be found out from this. For example : gcc-6, gcc-4.9,etc

Capt. Trey Gregory was one of the first 10 Marines to race toward a burning senior-living facility in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday -- and the teamwork he saw there is enough to get him choked up.
From junior enlisted Marines to the base commanding officer, the response was a display of level-headed professionalism and duty for the neighbors of Marine Barracks Washington, he told Military.com.
"Nobody was worried about ranks," said Gregory, an aviation logistics officer by trade who's currently serving as the Barracks' security forces company executive officer. "The level of maturity, accountability and staying calm in the face of a very hectic and somewhat dangerous situation showed me that the training we do, day-in and day-out, plays a huge role."
The three-alarm fire erupted in the Arthur Capper Senior Apartments at about 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, just behind the Barracks where Gregory's team is based. Within minutes, the security force Marines were equipped with radios as they headed into the building to alert their neighbors, many of whom are elderly and can't walk on their own.
"We knew we had people in there who needed help," Gregory said. "The bottom floors weren't too bad when we got in there, but that top floor got dicey."
The Marines paired off and stayed in communication on the radios, he said, especially on the top floor, where the smoke was much thicker. They steered clear of any doorways that were hot to the touch as they went room-to-room, clearing every unit they checked and helping those who needed it to safety.
"Some of the residents are bedridden or paralyzed, so we picked them up and threw them over our shoulders," he said. "I remember carrying a paralyzed guy down the stairs with the colonel, a lieutenant and a gunnery sergeant. Everybody was just there to help."
Gregory estimates the Marines made 30 or 40 trips in and out of the building. There were no deaths or life-threatening injuries reported in the 162-unit complex. D.C. Fire and Emergency Medical Services Chief Gregory Dean said Thursday that they're looking into whether all of the fire alarms were functioning.
About 100 Marines from the Barracks eventually pitched in, some racing over with wheelchairs and stretchers. Marine logisticians also brought over food and water, so those moved out of smoke-filled units immediately had something to drink.
Social media was filled with videos and images of the Marines assisting, but Gregory said none of them is concerned with the fanfare or recognition for what they did.
"We have wonderful neighbors at all of our facilities all over the world," he said. "We're just super thankful that everyone could escape this tragedy.
The real credit, he added, goes to the D.C. firefighters and other emergency responders.
"They were in the fight for sure," Gregory said. "The D.C. fire department has a tough, tough job, and we were just there to assist."
The Marines are looking forward to reconnecting with the neighbors they helped move to safety. The community members have always been supportive of Marine Barracks Washington, he said, and the leathernecks were glad to pay it back.
"We just hope that people understand that when Marines see a crisis, we respond," Gregory said. "It's what we do whether we are overseas or here in D.C. Geographic location doesn't matter."


New heirloom for the upcoming patch 5.2 it will replace Repurposed Lava Dredger for 3500 Justice Points.
This is the upgraded version of Repurposed Lava Dredger.
Upgrading to the level 85 version will cost one Repurposed Lava Dredger and an additional 3500 JP.
What WTbaggrodump said is true,you WILL lose the enchant(if any) after upgrading.
One of the new Bind to Account maces, the Re-Engineered Lava Dredger, replaces the previous Repurposed Lava Dredger. You will need 3500 Justice Points and the Repurposed Lava Dredger in your bags. Please note, however, that the updated version does not increase any stats for the levels of 1-80, but instead the new mace continues scaling past level 80 to level 85.
You will, of course, need to enchant the new mace since the previous mace has been destroyed in the purchasing process.
A nice upgrade to the old version, however it should be noted that unlike the scaling at L58 and L68, this weapon will NOT scale to up Cata stats at L80, but at L81 only.
With the new heirloom upgrade system introduced in patch 6.1 this item has been replaced by Repurposed Lava Dredger.

Lions' Mike Daniels: Matt Patricia is building a dominant defense
Photo: WJR
By Michael Stets
Over a dozen teams reached out for Mike Daniels's services after he was cut by the Green Bay Packers last week. And after signing with the Lions on a one-year deal worth $9.1 million, the eight-year veteran revealed during his first media session that head coach Matt Patricia was the main reason he came to Detroit
Daniels, who hasn't yet been a full participant in practice since donning his No.96 Lions jersey, was a guest on WJR's The Mitch Albom Show on Thursday, and he continued to heap praise on the second-year Lions head coach.
"I've always had a lot of respect for coach Patricia," Daniels said. "Quite frankly, I don't think he's gotten a lot of the credit he deserves throughout his tenure with the Patriots."
He added: "I'm a defensive guy. So I watch defense. There's times where the [Patriots] defense has saved their offense a lot. I remember playing against them and the big point was: you gotta stop Tom [Brady] and then it's going to be a tough game against the defense."
Daniels joins a defensive line that is looking pretty nasty on paper. He'll be lining up with defensive players like Damon "Snacks" Harrison, who joined the team last year after a trade with the New York Giants, Trey Flowers, who signed with the team this offseason after playing his first four seasons with the New England Patriots and Da'Shawn Hand, the Lions' 2018 fourth-round pick out of Alabama who turned in a solid rookie campaign.
Of course, with Flowers on the PUP list and Harrison on the NFI, we still have to see how they all work together and gel on the field, but Daniels told Mitch Albom that Patricia is building something special with the defense, and joining the Lions gives him the chance to be a part of it all.
"I just look at it as an opportunity to be on a dominant defense and that's what he is putting together. I look at our linebackers, our edge guys, the interior line, defensive backs, everybody has an edge, everybody plays with an attitude and I love it."

WHAT IS TRAMPRENNEN?
Tramprennen is an annual hitchhiking race in which over 100 go-getters hit the road using their thumbs. The competition takes you through Europe and during the two weeks scheduled for the race there's plenty of room for spontaneity and discovering different cultures, both within the race and in the ever changing settings of the race.
Competing with old and new friends on who can beat who, and what that person then has to do, are funkylicious activities that everybody can enjoy, but the race is so much more than just a fun and friendly competition.

When we are not getting what we want, this doesn't have to mean that we won't ever get there.
The only thing that we can know for sure is that it just hasn't happened in the time frame we have self set for ourselves. In the time frame we believe that it should happen. Many times when this happens we get frustrated.
We get caught up in our heads and take our limiting thinking too seriously. When getting closer to our deepest dreams and desires really lies on the other side — In the opposite direction.
When we see our thinking for what it is — Pure imagination created by us — It becomes much easier for us to walk towards our dreams and desires. Our mind clears and we start to feel better and see with more clarity. We start to see beyond our limiting thinking to that pure potentiality that resides beyond our personal thinking.
There's wisdom behind life that guides us and the universe is always there to support us. When we let go of our personal beliefs and stressful thinking, we begin to get a feel of this guidance.
This doesn't mean that we'll always get what we want. But in my experience if this doesn't happen, that can only mean that there's something even better waiting for us. Something that is beyond our imagination.
Either way, we'll be led to that what we ultimately desire, when let go of our beliefs and desires and begin to listen to those small whispers of wisdom within.
There are a couple of things for us to see that can help us, when we get too invested in what we want in life.
Whether we want to experience better relationships, make more income or experience a deep transformation we often forget what it is that we truly want.
Most of the times we don't want these things for their own sakes. But we want what we desire, because in some level we believe that these things have the power to make us happy. Make us feel better.
We believe that fulfilling our dreams can make us happy.
However when our understanding about life deepens, we begin to recognize that happiness never comes outside of ourselves. It always comes from within us and is not dependent on our outside circumstances.
It is our birthright, something that is already guaranteed. Something that is always there for us to get a feel of. And as soon as we let go of our personal thinking in the moment, it is there for us to experience.
When we realize this we might find some of those dreams and desires of ours to lose their importance and fall off. And the ones that stay with us we can begin to walk towards more effortlessly.
Not because we need what we desire, but because of the joy and fulfillment we get to experience on our journey.
Another thing that we oftentimes forget is that our vision about the future is always limited.
Whenever we have an image about ourselves in the future, whether it's a hopeful one or not, whether it is us with our dreams fulfilled or not, we cannot know what our experience will be.
This is because not only cannot we know what will happen, but also we cannot know what kind of thinking we will have.
The other day I stumbled upon a video from Byron Katie. In this video she shared how after her enlightenment experience she and her family were threatened. When she was asked whether or not she was scared when that happened her answer was no, she wasn't.
What would she had been scared of she replied. What would happen to the image she had about herself and her family? The image she had about them in the future.
Hearing her said that stopped me for a moment. I recognized more deeply that whenever we think about our future, the image we have about ourselves is 100% of an illusion. It is our pure imagination.
Realizing this doesn't only take away the fear that we experience, but it also allows us to more deeply to recognize that the present moment is all that there is.
Our thinking in the moment will always determine our experience, and our vision about the future is always limited. We cannot know what our thinking in the moment will be.
Not only are the dreams we have about ourselves after fulfilling these dreams of ours 100% of imagination, but also we cannot know what our experience will be.
When we recognize that our happiness is already guaranteed and that our vision about the future is always limited we get less invested in the outcome.
And when we realize that it is not our outside circumstances that create our experience but our thinking in the moment, we can recognize that we'll always have our lows and highs.
Life always offers what is for our highest good. Whether we are in the present moment to experience this or lost in our thinking and suffering.
The view we have about our future is always limited and things don't always happen in our time frame. Many times they don't.
This is not because life is unfair or because there's something wrong with us. This is because what is for our highest good always happens. Because we can only ever experience our thinking, our own perception of the situation, our view of life is always limited and we don't always see what is best for us.
In those moments having faith and allowing life to have it's way with us helps us.
When we let go of our preferences and fall out of our heads back to the present moment we start to hear more clearly the wisdom we all have within us.
The wisdom that is always there to guide us, show us what is best for us and support us.
The reality we get to experience when we let go of our personal thinking is always beautiful, just as it is. That is where the fulfillment we are looking for really resides, instead of in the illusion of the future we have created in our minds. It lies in the present moment.
Recognizing this and the role of our thinking when it comes to our experiences always returns us back to the present moment.
We fall out of our heads back to the present moment to experience the beauty and fulfillment of life.
When we get a feel of this we become less interested in what our ego wants, because we recognize the illusion of it. And on the other hand we get more interested in those deep callings of our soul.
What we feel drawn to.
Not because we believe that we will be happier when we get what we want, but because of the fulfillment we feel when we do what we feel called to do.
We all have within us this wisdom that guides us on our journey. We have this inner knowing that we can follow that always knows what is best for us, even when we self don't.
The less invested we get with the outcome and the less thinking we create around our needs and desires, the easier it becomes for us to hear this guidance.
It is about allowing life to have it's way with us, instead of we having our way with life. Allowing everything to unfold in the exactly right timing.
And in my experience, when we do this and trust this calling and guidance we all have within us, we always get more than what we desire.
We stop standing on our own way, hear the common sense that guides us on our journey and get more what we truly want.

whistleblower complaint whistleblower white house wants to out whistleblower donald trump jr. rand paul rand paul whistleblower rand paul sixth amendment right of confrontation dean baquet whistleblower identity real clear politics real clear investigations chuck grassley russia if you're listening unmasking impeachment
Commander Crimespree Will Out The Whistleblower If It's The First Thing He Does!
Liz Dye
Now that NO QUID PRO QUO! has given way to QUID PRO QUO, BUT THE GOOD KIND!, the GOP is casting about for something to distract from President Crimetime's one million felonies. What they need is a villain! Someone for the public to blame besides Donald Trump, the guy who did all the crimes. So they've settled on the whistleblower, the good samaritan who risked his career to call 911. It's a tricky maneuver, since every single witness has confirmed his account and Donald Trump himself released the transcript of himself extorting the Ukrainian president. To sell this storyline, they're going to need someone with a light touch, someone charismatic and trustworthy. Someone with really good hair.
Unfortunately, all they've got is Rand Paul and Don Jr.
Rand Paul, who formerly advocated for the rights of whistleblowers and even received an award in 2013 from the Make it Safe Coalition, a whistleblower advocacy group, has executed a full face-turn. Now he insists that the media is obligated to out whistleblowers because CONSTITUTION.
Jamie will be around to lawsplain you why this is absolute horseshit in a hot second. But the short version is, you only have the right to confront your accuser in a criminal trial, and then only if that accuser's testimony is being relied upon in court. Impeachment isn't a criminal proceeding -- how many times in the past two years have we been reminded that YOU CAN'T INDICT A SITTING PRESIDENT? -- and the House isn't relying on the whistleblower's account because they have the transcript and the testimony. And, by the by, it's pretty fucking rich for the White House to make process complaints when they have systematically obstructed Congress by refusing to allow anyone to testify or provide documentary evidence against the president.
"I'm not convinced his identity is important at this point, or at least important enough to put him at any risk, or to unmask someone who doesn't want to be identified," New York Times editor Dean Baquet told the Washington Post. "Pretty much everything has now been discussed or confirmed on the record, multiple times, by others in the administration. So I'm not sure I see the point of unmasking someone who wants to remain anonymous." Which is also pretty fucking rich coming from a guy who insisted that the Times absolutely had to publicize this guy's gender and half his CV for for its apparent news value.
But we digress!
Fixating on the whistleblower's identity serves only to endanger him and his family and to discourage anyone else from coming forward. (Dean!) But witness intimidation is very on-brand for the GOP, so of course the entire Republican establishment, minus Chuck Grassley, is now howling to put the whistleblower on national television and prove he's a Democratic operative.
Countdown until Fox goes back on its reported ban on outing this guy in 3 ... 2 ...
Now come's the tricky part. Your Wonkette has to talk about the GOP efforts to out the whistleblower, but without further endangering this person -- whether they have it right or not! -- by repeating his name. Because we are not A ASSHOLE. So forgive us the oblique references and lack of links, please and thank you.
The wingnut media has been fixated on a particular CIA agent for weeks, despite the fact that this person left the White House in 2017 and the timeline makes no goddamn sense. We're tempted to speculate that they named an obviously wrong person in some kind of attempted reverse jujitsu mindfuck to get Democrats to say NUH UH, IT'S REALLY THIS OTHER GUY! OOPS HAVE WE SAID TOO MUCH?, which Democrats ... would never fall for. (And we're pretty sure the great majority of elected Democrats still don't know who it is!) But then we remember that these GOP morons think that Soros buried the DNC server in some oligarch's backyard in Ukraine. So, according to Occam's Child Safety Scissors, the stupidest explanation -- that they really believe their own nonsense -- must be right.
After two weeks of damning witness statements and with public testimony scheduled for next week, the GOP has hit the panic button. Now they're all flogging the shit out of a story on the purported whistleblower by Real Clear Investigations, the ahem "non-profit" arm of RealClearPolitics. (Is that like the Daily Caller Foundation? Safe bet.) Paul tweeted the article, and Don Jr. tweeted the name this morning. (Again, not linking.) They want to out this guy, and RUSSIA, IF YOU'RE LISTENING, they want it now.
That's a little joke. Russia is always listening, right Daily Beast?
Shortly after Sen. Paul tweeted out an article that speculated in considerable detail about the identity of the whistleblower—with a photograph, a name, and details about the purported political history of a CIA professional—Russian state media followed suit.
As if on cue, the Kremlin-controlled heavy hitters—TASS, RT, Rossiya-1—disseminated the same information. But unlike Rand Paul, one of the Russian state media outlets didn't seem to find the source—Real Clear Investigations—to be particularly impressive, and claimed falsely that the material was published originally by The Washington Post.
So, just to be clear, Rand Paul, who spent years hollering that the Obama administration UNMASKED Michael Flynn when he got picked up having secret conversations with the Russian Ambassador, is now GRRRRR SO MAD that the US media won't unmask the suspected whistleblower. But the Russian media has no such scruples, and is disseminating it far and wide. Except they know Real Clear Investigations is a shit source, so they're pretending that their big scoop came from the Washington Post.
Hooboy, that's enough stupid for one article. Wonkette OUT.
