Military Coup In Thailand: Constitution Suspended, All TV & Radio Broadcasts Halted
May 22, 2014 by Infinite
– Military coup in Thailand: Constitution suspended, all TV & radio broadcasts halted (RT, May 22, 2014):
Thailand's army has taken over control of the country, suspending the constitution and imposing a curfew. TV and radio stations were also ordered to broadcast only army material. The coup follows months of political stalemate and turmoil.
"All radio and television stations, satellite and cable, must stop normal programming and broadcast army content until told otherwise," Winthai Suvaree, a deputy army spokesman, said in a televised statement.
Winthai also demanded the protesters disband, while several leaders had been detained. Gatherings of more than five people are now banned with one year prison term for violators. A 10pm to 5am curfew has been proclaimed.
While national TV and radio stations are now allowed to broadcast only army-approved material, global news outlets are being taken off air, according to some reports. CNN and the BBC are unavailable at the moment, users on Twitter said.
No internet censorship has been reported as of yet.
Several hours after the initial announcement, the military started arresting former government members. An ex-Labour Minister, Chalerm Ubumrung, was taken into custody, as was his son.In recent times, Ubumrung was a deputy prime minister of former PM Yingluck Shinawatra.
In an earlier announcement, the country's army chief General Prayuth Chan-ocha proclaimed he takes control of the government to restore order.
"In order for the situation to return to normal quickly and for society to love and be at peace again … and to reform the political, economic and social structure, the military needs to take control of power," Prayuth said.
The army chief will head the military council which takes charge of Thailand. The prime minister and cabinet ministers were summoned to report to the military. At the same time, the Senate's upper house and all courts will continue to function.
A general election in August has been proposed as the best way forward, with proposed date of August 3 still to be finalized.
While Prayuth did not use the term 'coup' himself, Thursday marks the country's 19th coup in 82 years.
However, the move by the military has prompted international concern.
The UN has issued a reminder directed at Thai authorities stating that international law "strictly limits" the implementation of emergency powers and has urged that fundamental rights be respected within the country.
The Pentagon has been reassessing its military assistance to and engagement with Thailand in the wake of the coup, the Pentagon stated on Thursday. The review included an ongoing naval drill in Thailand which includes 700 US Marines and sailors, Reuters was told.
Brad Adams, director of the Asia division at Human Rights Watch, told Al Jazeera that "while there has been sporadic violence in recent months, nationwide martial law was not necessary to prevent further violence." He added that the military has taken a 100-year-old law "off the shelf" which makes the civilian administration "subordinate to the military, effectively rendering the executive, legislative and judicial branches powerless."
Thailand's Martial Law Act of 1914 states that military commanders possess broad powers to suppress unrest, including the capacity to censor media and ban public gatherings.
Implications for travelers
The Russian consular service warned the imposed curfew affects all parts of Thailand.
"It is better not to leave your hotel during the curfew. If you are at the airport at night, you'd better stay there," the service told ITAR-TASS, initially urging tourists to comply with the new authorities' recommendations.
The curfew in Thailand does not apply to travelers arriving or leaving the country, according to a later military announcement, the agency reported.
"If you need to get to the airport during curfew hours by private transport, prepare your ticket and passport for the authorities to check. If you use public transportation, try to arrive at the airport early," Airports of Thailand said in a statement.
Thailand has seen over six months of unrest as anti-government protesters, who want to rid the country of the influence of Thaksin Shinawatra, were locked in a power struggle with opponents.
Thaksin was a prime minister since 2001 till 2006 when he was overthrown in a military coup. Since 2008 he has been living in self-imposed exile in order to avoid a jail term for graft. His opponents accuse him of cronyism and corruption as well as using taxpayers' money to buy votes with populist giveaways.
Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra is Thaksin's sister and is believed to be much affected by him in her policies. She was dismissed from her office on May 7, but her caretaker government had remained nominally in power.
The protesters have been demanding a "neutral" interim prime minister to oversee the electoral reform.
Last week, tensions escalated after gunmen started firing at a 'yellow shirt' protest camp, killing three and wounding a further 23.
'Red shirts' and 'yellow shirts' are the identifying symbols of the two camps – those dressed in red are supportive of the government that until recently held power, whereas the yellow shirts oppose Thaksin Shinawatra's role in Thai politics.
Shortly before the coup was announced, hundreds of soldiers gathered at Bangkok's Army Club and forcibly removed the leader of the protests against the pro-Thaskin government, Suthep Thaugsuban. Soldiers unleashed gunfire into the air to disperse the pro-government activists who had been rallying in the west of the captial, said a 'red shirt' spokesperson.

A number of readers have written in with this link to a Raw Story teaser about a piece on the Niger forgeries set to run in tomorrow's Sunday Times of London.
The LONDON SUNDAY TIMES' Michael Smith — who first broke the infamous Downing Street Memo — will identify who is believed to have forged the documents that formed the basis for President George W. Bush's infamous 16 words this evening, RAW STORY has learned. Smith will explain the chain of events in painstaking detail.
According to Nato sources who spoke under condition of anonymity with the SUNDAY TIMES, an Italian investigation has fingered two employees of an embassy in Italy with forging the documents.
Speculation has been ripe over who forged the documents — and the SUNDAY TIMES piece is unlikely to stem furor and speculation in the United States over the documents that helped bring the United States to war with Iraq.
Look closely. If this is an accurate representation of what the story will contain, it is about an Italian government investigation. That's all you need to know.
The Italian intelligence services were centrally involved in the clandestine distribution of the forgeries and in all likelihood the creation of the forgeries themselves. Everything the Italian government has done since then has been to impede any outside investigation into their role.
There's simply no reason to credit anything an Italian government investigation of this matter reveals. If anything, its findings are probably a good bet to be the exact opposite of what is in fact the case. And the timing of such a release is no doubt in response to indications that at least two US news organizations will release new, damaging revelations about their role in the not-too-distant future.

War of the Rebellion: Serial 108 Page 1075 Chapter LXIII. CORRESPONDENCE, ETC.-CONFEDERATE.
the enemy's intentions and in the hope of striking a blow at him, to take position from Beaver Dam Station to Frederick's Hall, so as to be on his flank should he move from Fredericksburg to Richmond or make an attempt toward Charlottesville from Culpeper. He writes me, under date of 17th, that from the reports received he was under the impression that Fredericksburg was being evacuated and the enemy was moving to Orange Court-House. He was therefore drawing nearer Gordonsville and collecting his troops at Louisa Court-House. This information from General Stuart would indicate a large force assembling at Winchester, which I do not credit. But it may be the enemy's intention to secure possession of the Valley, for which purpose they would seize the Central Railroad at Staunton and advance toward Charlottesville to cut off that communication with Lynchburg. The reports are so conflicting and sometimes opposing, and our people take up so readily all alarming accounts, which swell in their progress, that it is difficult to learn the truth till too late to profit by it. I think it is certain that heavy re-enforcements are reaching McClellan, and that they will leave no stone unturned to capture Richmond. I fear they will draw upon their Western army, leaving a force to maks ours, and thus render it unavailable to us. I hear nothing of Pemberton's troops or of the conscripts from the south. We must endeavor to arouse our people. This army is improving, increasing, reorganizing, and undergoing daily instruction. When we get the new officers in their places, I mean the present vacancies filled, their improvement willb e more apparent. I need not tell you that the whole division take stone from its commander. The brigade receives its share in addition to what is imparted from the brigadiers.
I am, with esteem, your obedient servant,
R. E. LEE,

HEADQUARTERS EAST OF ORGANGE COURT-HOUSE,
August 17, 1862.
Mr. PRESIDENT:
From dispatches just received from General French it appears certain that General McClellan's force has escaped us. I feel greatly mortifield, for through the material damage dealt him in the battles of the Chickahominy was not as great as I could have wished, he must have been so morally shattered as to have induced the belief that the safety of his army required his retreat and to have caused his abandonment of his present attack on Richmond. This of itself I feel as a great relief, but he ought not to have got off so easily. This induces me to say what I have had on my mind for some time. I fear General Hill is not entirely equal to his present position. An excellent executive officer, he does not appear to have much administrative ability. Left to himself he seems embarrassed and backward to act. If the people would think so, I really believe French would make the better commander of the department. This is only for you to think about, but I fear all was not done that might have been done to harass and destroy our enemies, but I blame nobody but myself. General Hampton may have picked up some stragglers, but that is all I can now hope for. I can only conjecture two positions that he will now assume: To ascend the Rappahannock, occupy Fredericksburg, and threaten Richmond from there, or to unite with General Pope. It is possible that hearing of the advance of our army in this direction it may have been

Dignity, respect at core of new approaches to Alzheimer's care
By Patricia Corrigan | June 17, 2016
A woman sits at a table in a sun-filled dining room, a bowl of soup before her, copies of the San Francisco Chronicle and Wall Street Journal in her hands. She greets a visitor with a big smile. She points out the view — a welcoming outdoor patio with a quiet tree-lined street beyond — visible through a wall of windows.
Emma Davis holds a "twiddle muff" made for memory care residents at Rhoda Goldman Plaza. photo/courtesy rhoda goldman plaza
"I like it here," she says. "The people are uniformly pleasant and I have nothing to complain about." She speaks of family in the Midwest — "business people, with a good reputation" — and asks the visitor about her work. Then she says, "A long time ago, I had a job. Now I just go through my day here."
The conversation lags a moment, and then the woman repeats what she has already said. Twice.
She is a resident of the memory care unit at Rhoda Goldman Plaza, an assisted-living community in San Francisco. She is not the woman she used to be, and she cannot remember much about that person, but she appears content.
Among the dozen or so other residents in the dining room, one says she loves animals, one used to be an architect, another likes to talk about books. They are good-humored, even witty, and meet a visitor's gaze directly.
Some interact with passers-by, responding to warm greetings from staff; others do not. Some feed themselves; others cannot, and aides assist them. Pictures of residents attending events or on a recent field trip adorn a bulletin board on the wall.
This is what dementia looks like from the outside, looking in.
Of the top 10 causes of death in the U.S., Alzheimer's is the only one that can't be prevented or cured, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
But as the research moves forward, memory care in senior residences and at home is changing. The focus, experts say, has moved from coping with memory impairment to showing respect for the individual. The goal is to destigmatize dementia by helping families make a significant attitude adjustment, moving them from a place of grief to one of compassion.
Bay Area Jewish agencies and institutions that provide Alzheimer's care are dealing with the increasing numbers of those with dementia as best they can, and putting into practice some new trends in Alzheimer's care. Here are some of them.
Baking challah for Shabbat
Every Friday, residents in the Rhoda Goldman Plaza memory care unit — also known as The Terrace — bake challah in a kitchen attached to the art room. "Kneading bread is a cool sensory experience, and residents like it," said Adrienne Fair, the assistant executive director.
Another sensory experience residents seem to enjoy is painting — with marbles, not brushes. Emma Davis, therapeutic programming manager at Rhoda Goldman, proudly displays the residents' marble paintings — artwork made by rolling marbles on paper coated in paint.
"I matted them and they look great," she said. "I'm going to put these up in the dining room, change the décor a little."
Painting with marbles may not sound like a meaningful way to pass the time, but Davis would disagree. "We learn about who the residents used to be and who they are becoming," she said. "Yes, people with dementia are losing something, but they also are gaining the freedom to be happy, to be free of any stigma, to live in the moment. That's not a bad way to live."
Structure and routine are necessary in a memory care unit, especially when it comes to medication and nutrition. But Fair and Davis emphasized that flexibility is also needed when person-centered care is the focus.
"We set up an environment that is interesting and soothing at the same time," Fair said. "For instance, we have an armoire in the hall with a sign directing residents to open the drawers, which are filled with scarves and hats. It's something fun for them to do, something enticing and unexpected."
Caregivers at Rhoda Goldman focus on making every resident's day better, rather than focusing on the memory impairment. Sometimes pets come to visit. Some days residents from other floors direct art projects, play instruments or sing.
Some residents in the assisted living units knit "twiddle muffs" for memory care residents who fiddle with the brightly colored yarn. "It gives them something to do with their hands, and it's soothing and tactile," Fair said.
Some days, Terrace residents are escorted downstairs for a walk on the patio or for a party. "They may not quite comprehend the theme or the purpose of the event but even people with severe memory impairment have social graces. They can eat a cookie, smile and talk to people," Fair said.
"It's our job to give each individual here the best possible life," said Davis.
Kitchen table conversation
The Jewish Home is creating smaller, more intimate dining rooms for those with dementia. photo/courtesy jewish home
Most memory care units in senior residences have a communal dining room. At the Jewish Home in San Francisco, caregivers are experimenting with another approach — setting up several kitchens and dining rooms in smaller, more intimate areas.
"When people develop challenges with memory, unfamiliar settings can be unsettling, so one thing the Jewish Home is doing is making some areas look more like rooms you would see in a home," said Dr. Christine Ritchie, a UCSF professor of clinical research and aging who is based at the Jewish Home. "It's important to keep developing new approaches to memory care."
One approach that has worked well is the garden unit, designed for residents with Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia. The unit includes an enclosed patio with trees, flowers and seating areas, and the staff reports that residents enjoy their time outdoors.
A board-certified geriatrician and palliative care physician, Ritchie is involved in several research projects at the Jewish Home.
Christine Ritchie
One such study involves memory care residents who are part of a program called Care Ecosystem. The University of Nebraska Medical Center and UCSF are conducting the study to learn how to better support caregivers with decision-making, medications, support and online education. The study also is looking at remote monitoring using smartphones, watches and home sensors.
"The program is highly relevant to the population at the Jewish Home," Ritchie said. "The Jewish Home is planning for different levels of care, keeping people independent as long as possible by pulling in technology to support them."
Another area of her research seeks to understand the impact of medications prescribed for dementia on thinking and cognition. Ritchie hopes that both studies will lead to improvements in personalized care.
"When it comes to Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, all roads lead downhill, though at different paces for different people," Ritchie said.
"In the future, caregivers in residences and at home will be better able to support people across different settings, support more independent living and offer more dignity-promoting situations and accommodations for people with memory loss."
Bringing in the mail
A Bay Area woman struggling with mid-stage Alzheimer's was obsessed with getting the mail. Her husband, serving as her caregiver at their home, let her bring in the mail each day, but later she would forget and want to do it again. And again. When her husband repeatedly told her the mail had already come, the woman would become agitated.
Andrea Korsunsky
"She couldn't hold on to the fact that she had already brought in the mail, and her husband felt that he had failed her," said Andrea Korsunsky, director of Jewish Family and Children's Services' Center for Dementia Care, a program of Seniors at Home.
"We suggested that he make sure that something was always in the mail box, maybe a love letter for his wife from him, and we were able to help them," Korsunsky said. "This small tool helped the couple communicate in a different way by enhancing her quality of life just by focusing on the moment."
Korsunsky said people caring for family members with memory loss need these little tools from professionals because the person with dementia will not be the same every day. "What we offer is for families caring for individuals in the early or mid- stages" of the disease, she said. "Our approach is practical support for the matter at hand. We don't get too caught up in statistics or the progression of the disease or the hardships."
Instead, she said, "we focus on the human element, the strengths, and working with the whole family, we build on that. That's really important, because families need support to cope with the ever-changing processes that are part of this disease."
For example: At a client's home, a staff member learned the family member with Alzheimer's was expected to eat lunch alone between 11:30 a.m. and noon daily to accommodate other family members' schedules. It wasn't working. The worker suggested the meal schedule be more flexible, and that a family member sit at the table too, because for a person with Alzheimer's, it doesn't feel normal to eat alone.
It is also not uncommon for someone with memory loss to fire their home caregiver — who then summons a family member to come home and deal with the situation. When called upon, Korsunsky's staff works to determine the reason for the firing.
"We look for a trigger," she explained. "What causes agitation? A ringing doorbell? A barking dog? Identifying a trigger is important — sometimes the person with memory loss can't tell you — and if we can make a connection, we can give the hired caregiver tools to help re-establish a good connection and strategies to minimize stress."
The goal is to "help smooth over the rough patches," Korsunsky said. "The person with memory loss can't adapt, so everyone else must."
The art of connecting
Isabelle Young, 15, volunteers once a week at the Reutlinger Community for Jewish Living in Danville. She works one-on-one with Rita Goldman as part of an innovative intergenerational art program for seniors, mostly those residents in memory care and others, like Goldman, who are not.
"I've created a close bond with Rita, who is easy to talk to and open to new things," said Isabelle, a sophomore at Monte Vista High School. "She doesn't so much like the art part, but she really likes spending time together."

The "art part," Opening Minds through Art, was developed at the Scripps Gerontology Center at Miami University in Ohio. Five Reutlinger staff members traveled there for training.
"The art projects include painting, collage, ink blots, papier mâché or glitter — everybody loves the glitter," said Carol Goldman, director of wellness and life enrichment at Reutlinger. "Each art project requires a simple process, and residents have choices along the way." One group of residents works with teens, another with nursing students.
Reutlinger has put into place other new practices in the memory care unit, as well.
"We approach residents from a 'best friends' model, get to know them — everything from their favorite colors to the names of their pets —and we engage family members with barbecues and candlelight dinners," Carol Goldman said. Outdoor activities, sing-alongs and a mild exercise program also are on the schedule.
She is especially pleased with the relationships formed between residents and volunteers taking part in the art program. Lori Young, Isabelle's mother, first heard of the volunteer opportunity through Chabad of Danville. She encouraged both Isabelle and son Alex, 17, to participate. Alex is convinced that the resident he works with has no dementia, his mother said, because the woman is so sharp mentally.
As for Isabelle, the experience has given her patience and confidence. "Before I started, I was kind of afraid because other than delivering baskets at Purim, I'd never worked with older people before," she said. "Now I love it."
Lori Young was so impressed with the art program that she, too, signed up to volunteer. "Every week, I escort my resident from the memory care unit to the art room. I sing along the way, and she sings with me," she said. "At 105, she is a spunky, joyful person, filled with love and affection.
"At the end of the evening, when I show her her work, she doesn't know where it came from, but she seems proud of it."
Lori Young said that when she tells people about her volunteer work, they tell her it's a mitzvah but they could never do it.
"For me, it's about how much the quality of life matters, how much these individuals still matter," she said. "Every moment matters."
On the rise: 'The longer you live, the higher risk' of Alzheimer's
More than 588,000 Californians are afflicted with Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia, according to a report by the Alzheimer's Association, and that number is expected to nearly double by 2030.
In the Bay Area, more than half of residents 85 and older have some form of dementia, and by 2020 there will be a 49 percent increase in the number of residents with Alzheimer's, predicts S.F.-based Jewish Family and Children's Services, which partnered with the Mount Zion Health Fund to develop Rhoda Goldman Plaza in 2000 and opened a Center for Dementia Care last year.
An estimated 5.4 million Americans suffer from Alzheimer's, which is one of the top 10 causes of death in the U.S. and at present cannot be prevented or cured, reports the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention .
By 2050, when 78 million baby boomers will be at greatest risk for Alzheimer's, there will be a 300 percent increase in new cases unless a cure is found.
What is causing this flood?
"People are living longer, and the longer you live, the higher risk of Alzheimer's you have," said Elizabeth Edgerly, chief program officer for the Northern California and Northern Nevada chapter of the Alzheimer's Association in San Jose. "As it is now, the situation is not sustainable, but the government, agencies and research institutions all are working to address it in a big way." — patricia corrigan
In Part 2 later this summer, J. will profile Bay Area Jews dealing firsthand with family members suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

Central Bucks East's Patrick Sheehan captured the individual crown at the Suburban One League Tournament Tuesday. Photos of tournament action were provided by Larry Small and Keith Clelmens. CLICK HERE to go directly to the GOLF GALLERY.
WARMINSTER -- The venue changed for this year's Suburban One League boys golf tournament. But, no matter the course, it was still an excellent day for golf.
The Continental Conference dominated the scoreboard, putting five golfers in the top six. Leading the way was Central Bucks East's Patrick Sheehan who carded a 4-under 67.
Right behind Sheehan was Luca Jezzeny of Central Bucks West with a 68.
They were the only golfers to break par at the par-71 Five Ponds Golf Club in Warminster. Last year's tournament was played at Indian Valley Country Club.
All told, 38 golfers qualified to advance to the District One tournament next week. Thirty-seven of them will be playing in the 3A tournament and one, Ryan Fireman of Springfield Township, will be playing in the 2A tourney.
Jezzeny got out to a quick start, going 2-under for the front nine and then adding to it with a birdie on the par-5 No. 12. But he couldn't hold off Sheehan.
After playing the front in even par, Sheehan caught fire on the back. He birdied the 11th hole, eagled the 12th and birdied the 13th to get to 4-under, where he finished.
When asked what turned his round around, Sheehan said "Definitely 11. It was a 196-yard par-3 and I hit it to within eight feet and made the putt.
"Then I kind of surged to eagle the next hole and then a hole later I made birdie. That was kind of the run I had."
The eagle on 12 was something to see. Sheehan hit his drive on the par-5 278 yards in the center of the fairway.
"I hit a 5 (iron) from about 209 (yards) into the wind, trying to keep it low from a little draw lie," Sheehan said. "I almost holed it. It landed like three inches from the hole (before it rolled past)."
Even Jezzeny was impressed with Sheehan's play on No. 12.
"He stuck it to about five feet and then he made the eagle and then he's right there," Jezzeny said.
However, Jezzeny played a pretty good game of golf also. He rattled a lot of cups in shooting his 3-under 68.
"Hitting greens and making some putts, more than I normally do," he said when asked what was working on his round. "The putter was pretty hot today.
"I made a few long putts that kind of gave me confidence. I played well and Pat just beat me on the back (nine). He started making a lot of birdies and he got me by a shot."
In addition, two newcomers collected conference titles. Council Rock South's Matt Fleming won the National Conference and freshman Dylan Goonereatne of Plymouth Whitemarsh took the American.
"It feels good," said Fleming, when informed that he had won the conference. "I started off the day with a bogie but then I came back.
"I made a birdie on 10 which felt good. I felt good."
Gooneratne was completely unaware of his victory.
"I played well today," he said. "I had a couple of unlucky breaks but then I made some putts. A couple of putts I made saved me but a couple of things hurt me."
One thing all the golfers realized was that, while the win is nice, it isn't necessary to move on to district play. They knew they just had to be one of the 37 to advance.
"It's definitely nice to win" Sheehan said. "I've not played well the last two years and I haven't been happy.
"Even in the SOLs, I haven't played well so this was nice to play well. I knew I'd been playing well so it's nice to get a good number."
The two newcomers were also aware of the situation.
"I'm just going to try to play my best (next week)," Fleming said. "Go out there and try to shoot around par. It's going to be tough especially at Turtle Creek with the winds."
Gooneratne had some praise for his fellow golfers.
"I was just trying to come out here and shoot the best score I could and make it to districts," he said. "I've got to give a lot of credit to my team. They helped me out a lot.
"My coaches were fantastic. I give them a lot of credit."
Souderton's foursome of Anthony Barr (75), Thomas Butler (75), James O'Malley (79) and Joshua Smith (81) coasted to the wild card team spot. Their total of 310 was more then 10 shots better than the closest competitor.
The Suburban One League girls take center stage Wednesday at 5 Ponds. They will be playing for a maximum of 18 spots in the District One tournament.
The District One tourney will be played on Tuesday, Oct. 10, and Wednesday, Oct. 11, at Turtle Creek in Limerick. The boys will play Turtle Creek both days and the girls will play Tuesday at Gilbertsville and finish up on Wednesday at Turtle Creek.

Q: Regex Conversion I'm wanting to make a command to edit /etc/default/grub and change the timeout from 10 to 2. Could anyone explain how to do this?

A: You can use sed, perl and other tools for that. Here are two examples for sed and perl:

Using sed:
Start a dry run
sudo sed 's/^GRUB_TIMEOUT=10$/GRUB_TIMEOUT=2/' /etc/default/grub

if it's ok, then
sudo sed -i 's/^GRUB_TIMEOUT=10$/GRUB_TIMEOUT=2/' /etc/default/grub

from man sed:
   -i[SUFFIX], --in-place[=SUFFIX]

          edit files in place (makes backup if SUFFIX supplied)

Explanation:

*

*^GRUB_TIMEOUT=10$

(source: debuggex.com)
Debuggex Demo
^ - assert position at start of the string
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 matches the characters GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 literally
(case sensitive)
$ - assert position at end of the string

*s -  s-modifier: single line

Using perl and more generic:
Start a dry run
perl -pe 's/^(GRUB_TIMEOUT=)[0-9]+$/${1}2/' /etc/default/grub

if it's ok, then
sudo perl -pi -e 's/^(GRUB_TIMEOUT=)[0-9]+$/${1}2/' /etc/default/grub

*

*^(GRUB_TIMEOUT=)[0-9]+$

(source: debuggex.com)
Debuggex Demo

A: Here is a generic one:
sudo sed -i.bak 's/^\(GRUB_TIMEOUT=\)[0-9]\+$/\12/' /etc/default/grub

Replace 2 (after \1) with any value you want to put.

*

*s/OLD/NEW/ is the substitution pattern for sed.

*i.bak will edit the file /etc/default/grub in place, keeping the original file backed up as /etc/default.grub.bak. If you don't want a backup just use -i.

*We have matched the line that starts with GRUB_TIMEOUT= (Kept it inside a group so that we can refer to it later) and ends with one or more digits ([0-9]+).

*In the replacement section we replaced the digits with the value we want to put, keeping the earlier matched portion (denoted by \1) as it is.

[Regex] : Unknown character sequence.
I'm new to regex. This is basically what I was trying.
I get a warning which says "Unknown escape sequence '\.' . Its the same case with any other special character or even '\s' .
I guess I'm missing something very simple.
Re: [Regex] : Unknown character sequence.
Subject: [Boost-users] [Regex] : Unknown character sequence.
If you're trying to escape the "." you probably also need to escape the "\" by using "\\". It is a C string after all.

The England cricket team toured South Africa in 2004–05. England won the five-Test series 2–1, achieving their first series win in South Africa for 40 years, when MJK Smith's side were victorious in 1964–65; however, South Africa won the seven-match ODI series 4–1, one match finishing as a tie and the other as "no result".

The Test series saw the awarding of the inaugural Basil D'Oliveira Trophy, named for the South Africa-born England cricketer Basil D'Oliveira.

Background
England went into the series having won all seven Test matches they played during the English summer, demolishing the West Indies and New Zealand.

Hellboy's on a one-way trip to Hell, and Mike Mignola's our tour guide
Cyriaque Lamar
Filed to: HellboyFiled to: Hellboy
As you may have heard through the grapevine, Hellboy experienced a mortality deficit last year and is currently stuck in his, ahem, "ancestral homeland." The upcoming comic series Hellboy in Hell will detail Hellboy's journey to the underworld, and his creator Mike Mignola will be along for the ride.
Mignola filled io9 in on such topics as Big Red's road trip down South and the Hellboy crossover comic that never was. Also, check out the very first episode of the Hellboy: The Fury motion comic, which debuted earlier this afternoon.
What role did you play in the development of The Fury motion comic?
They came to me about adapting The Fury, and I said, "Fine by me!" I did discuss the basic idea, but the motion aspect was left to other people. The input I had was on the overall tone of the story, characters' voices and accents, but I pretty much left it to the experts.
How's progress on Hellboy in Hell coming along?
Mike Mignola tells us Hellboy's big plans for 2012
io9 recently had the chance to catch up with the one and only Mike Mignola and get the scoop on all …
It's never as fast as you'd like it to be. It's my primary focus these days. I just wrapped up issue #2. It doesn't come out until December. We bumped it back a bit, but I'm having the most fun I've had in ages.
What does your conception of Hell look like?
The fast and easy answer is that Hell is made of everything that I've wanted to draw, forever. It's certainly not all pits of fire — there is a big pit of fire — and there will be periodically other things on fire, I'm sure. But it's not a one-dimensional, cartoon, devils-poking-guys-with-pitchforks kind of Hell. I'm debating drawing a map of my Hell. It has specific locations and geography, but it's an open-ended enough world. It's designed to be a place where I can set all the stories I'd like to do from now on.
Hellboy's duked it out with supernatural characters from all over the globe — Baba Yaga, Japanese floating heads, Celtic monsters. Does your Hell incorporate these diverse corners of mythology?
The general structure is the Miltonian Hell. It's set up in a specific way, with the capital city of Pandemonium, which was mentioned a while ago. One of the things I want to do with Hellboy in Hell is eventually have him wander and drift through various parts of Hell, such as areas with Asian or Arab influences. The architecture and types of stories I tell will shift and relate to different geographies.
It's not like "Boom! Christian Hell!" or "Boom! Norse Hell!" There won't be a signpost (or maybe there will be?) that says, "Don't go this way! You'll drift into Tartarus!" There won't be a doorway that says, "Don't go in here! That's the Egyptian underworld!" I want it to have a dream-like quality. I may deal with different mythologies, but I won't draw a map that says, "If you cross this border, you're in Russian Hell!"
Is the aforementioned map something readers will see?
It might be a vague map, but a lot of geography is mentioned in the first couple of issues. I love the idea of someone attempting to draw a map of Hell because there are big areas where it just doesn't make any goddamn sense. But what I might do is introduce a character who's drawn a very vague map.
Besides this book, what else is up your sleeve?
I've written a Hellboy graphic novel with [illustrator] Duncan Fegredo. He's busy with other things, but hopefully he'll work on that one of these days. I'm co-writing and co-plotting some B.P.R.D. things with Scott Allie and John Arcudi, respectively. But the B.P.R.D. is mostly in John's hands. I am planning a couple other B.P.R.D. spin-offs for characters who may need their own books. It's an ever-expanding universe, but we don't want to saturate things.
Were there any strange Hellboy projects or crossovers that were shelved?
I did a couple crossovers early on, but it's a tricky thing. Will my character come out of his universe or visit someone else's? I really enjoyed Hellboy's crossovers with The Goon and Beasts of Burden. The only crossover that we talked about but never happened was Buffy. Joss Whedon and I talked about it for a very little bit, but I think he might be busy. I wouldn't hold your breath for that.
Speaking of Joss' pursuits, any updates with Hellboy 3?
I sure wish there was something to report, but there's nothing in the works. The colossal success of The Avengers didn't get anybody calling me and saying, "Let's get Hellboy going again!" I wish there was, but I think Guillermo del Toro has his hands full with a million other things. I don't know if he's particularly interested in doing it again. I kind of wish somebody would. I kind of wish it wasn't left it at a cliffhanger if there wasn't going to be a third one. I'm kind of hoping someone wants to come along and reboot that thing. But there's no talk right now of anybody doing anything.
Hellboy: The Fury debuted today on Felicia Day's Geek and Sundry YouTube channel.

Smurfs: The Lost Village movie trailer is here and we have a sneak peek at it just for you! I have to tell you, I am loving the feelings of 80s nostalgia that the Smurfs bring up in me. It was one of my favorite shows as a kid, so I am thrilled that it's been brought back to life for a whole new generation. Smurfs: The Lost Village is an upcoming ccomputer-animated movie that combines adventure and comedy and is set to hit theaters on April 7, 2017. Let's check out the trailers (yep, plural, there are two out right now)!

Did this Smurfs: The Lost Village movie trailer get you excited for the movie? Will you see it with your kids?
While there have been two previous Smurfs live-action/computer-animated movies, this film is unrelated to both of them. The first was the 2011 The Smurfs and the second was the 2013 Smurfs 2. Both of these movies are loosely based on the Smurfs comics and are adapted from the Smurfs television series, which aired for 9 seasons on NBC, from September 12, 1981 to December 2, 1989.
In the Smurfs: The Lost Village, Smurfette and her friends Clumsy Smurf, Brainy Smurf and Hefty Smurf journey through the Forbidden Forest, only to encounter the evil Gargamel and discover the Smurf's biggest secret. The movie features the voice cast of Demi Lovato as Smurfette, Mandy Patinkin as Papa Smurf, Jack McBrayer as Clumsy Smurf, Danny Pudi as Brainy Smurf, Joe Manganiello as Hefty Smurf and Rainn Wilson as Gargamel.
In case you aren't familiar with the Smurfs or need a refresher course, here we go! Gargamel is an evil wizard that is the enemy of the Smurfs. Papa Smurf is the leader of the Smurfs and is easily recognized by his red clothing and white beard. He is also an expert at making potions and spells. Smurfette was created by Gargamel and originally had black hair but not her hair color is blonde. Hefty Smurf has extraordinary strength; Brainy Smurf is the smartest of the Smurfs and pretty much an expert on everything and Clumsy Smurf is slow and dull but also friendly and lovable.
I use to watch the smurfs as a kid. This is brining back memories.
My kids will probably all about this. We just watched the Smurf's Christmas Carol.
We always go see the Smurfs movies. I think they 're cute no matter your age.
Havent even seen the first one!
Yes! The movie looks so fun. I've always enjoyed the Smurfs and I'm excited for my kids to enjoy them as well!
I am fond of smurfs and love to watch it. This new trailer is amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Who wouldn't love to catch this classic favorite! I can't believe they're releasing another film, that's awesome!
AWW I have always loved the smurfs! So excited to take my kids!
I missed the first movie and I would love to catch up before watching this latest one! The trailer is adorable as always! There's no doubt that the kids will love this!

As it constantly strives to become more efficient, Sacem makes it a point of honour to be as transparent as possible in its management and governance and 2017 sets a new course for this journey. In order to comply with the recent ruling delivered on 22 December 2016, Sacem is sprucing up its statutes and embarking on an unavoidable revolution at the service of authors, composers and publishers.
Our statutes are the backbone of our society. They set out the fundamental rules and guarantees that ensure it functions correctly. Sacem's statutes were created at the same time as Sacem, but have evolved over the years to adapt to new regulations and changing contexts. It has been some time, however, since an in-depth overhaul has been undertaken.
This statutory reform, to be tabled on 1 March 2017, complies with the ruling of 22 December 2016 transposing the European Directive of February 2014 pertaining to collective management.
It will be one of those major reforms that leave their mark and open a new chapter. The reform is exclusively linked to the European Directive.
Sacem is grasping this opportunity, provided by the obligation to become compliant with the law, to add even more services for its members and afford greater clarity to its actions. The key words of the reform are "governance" and "transparency".
The first pillar is governance. At its core are Sacem's members, united in a General Assembly. The ruling obliges collective management organisations to invest the General Assembly with competencies. The GA is thus truly reinforced and takes general policy decisions pertaining to the distribution of rights, investments, deductions, so-called "un-distributable" sums and how to use said sums.
On 1 January 2018, on-line voting, which is already in operation for elections, will be extended to resolutions. Voting by proxy will also be possible from the same date. Proxies will remain within one and the same member category (creator or publisher). For example, an author cannot accept the proxy of a publisher, and vice versa. There will be a limit of five proxies per representative at each General Assembly.
Dual governance will be introduced from next June, thanks to the creation of a Supervisory Board that will henceforth sit alongside the Board of Directors. The Supervisory Board will comprise two authors, two composers and two publishers elected by the General Assembly for three years; half of each category can be renewed. The conditions of eligibility, dormancy and removal from office are identical to those of the Board of Directors. "The Supervisory Board also monitors the activities of the Board of Directors and the CEO, and ensures they have fulfilled their missions. It assesses their performances in a report that is delivered each year to the General Assembly," explains David El Sayegh, Sacem Secretary General. The Supervisory Board will also be responsible for checking resources and charges, and verifying the society's general accounts.
Currently, these tasks are performed by the Accounts and Supervisory Committee. The Supervisory Board will also take over the tasks that are currently performed by the Article R.321-6-3 Commission, namely assessing refusals to requests from Sacem members wishing to receive company documents. All of the activities of the above two Commissions will thus be transferred to the Supervisory Board.
Some of the General Assembly's prerogatives will also be delegated to the Supervisory Board: decisions pertaining to risk management policy; approving real estate acquisitions, sales and mortgages; approving mergers and alliances; creating subsidiaries and acquiring other entities; approving operations to take out or grant a loan or to provide security on a loan. This adds a further degree of security to decision-making.
The second pillar of the reform is transparency. It will trigger the creation of a new body: the Ethics Committee.
The Ethics Committee will stem from the Board of Directors and the Supervisory Board, both of which will appoint three members (one author, one composer and one publisher) from "their ranks". The committee will be renewed every year. Honorary chairs of Sacem will sit on the Ethics Committee, along with a qualified individual who is external to Sacem and is appointed for three years. The role of the Ethics Committee is to avert, identify, manage and inspect any situation of conflicting interests encountered by the members of Sacem's Board of Directors or Supervisory Board or its CEO. The new ruling also requires each member of these bodies to submit an annual declaration of interests to the General Assembly. The Ethics Committee will collect these declarations of interests. It will also ensure that the rules of eligibility to become a member of Sacem's different Boards and its Statutory Commission are complied with, and it will take over all of the prerogatives of the current Professional Ethics Committee.
"Although transparency was already built into Sacem's DNA, from 2017 it will be anchored into every level," points out David El Sayegh. "From now on, the General Assembly will have to approve a transparency report detailing the year's accounts: How much was spent? On what? How much was collected? How much did that cost? Every new applicant to Sacem will receive this information and will have a breakdown of the society's management costs." The first transparency report will pertain to the 2017 accounting year. It will be sent out to all members to give them a macroeconomic and also a microeconomic overview of the accounts: each distribution sheet in 2018 will give a breakdown of rights, management costs, and sums deducted to social or cultural ends. Furthermore, starting in 2017, each new Sacem applicant will receive detailed information in advance, notably about the rights s/he can bring to Sacem, the conditions for joining and leaving, the society's management costs, etc.
Finally, there will be an in-house procedure for processing complaints relating to joining conditions, contributions, the withdrawal of contributions, resignations and rights management.
There will be a single point of contact within the Membership Department that will address such complaints, and as of 1 January 2018 the process must not take more than two months, unless there is a legitimate reason justifying a longer period (such as, for example, the member not yet having registered the work). Make sure you come to the Extraordinary General Assembly on 1 March!

JEAN-CLAUDE PETIT - "Transparency is already built into our DNA"
How did Sacem's board members broach this obligatory reform?
To prepare the ground for the reform, our working group, composed of several board members, authors, composers and publishers, met on several occasions within the space of almost two years. The other revisions that had been required by law over recent years were not as extensive as the current reform. Our statutes and our policies and procedures are very old. Personally, I believe that regular tweaks are always necessary to take evolutions into account. In the case at hand, it is mainly a question of becoming compliant with European requirements. One of the aims of the reform is to introduce more transparency.
Do you feel that is justified?
Sacem has been striving towards greater transparency for many years now. Few and far between are societies like Sacem, which are inspected both externally and internally. Not to mention the myriad meetings we organise to keep our members informed about the different innovations that are introduced throughout the year. Transparency is already built into Sacem's DNA.
What have you learnt from this mammoth undertaking?
A reform like this gives us an opportunity to reflect on how we operate and on good governance. We are involving our members: they are being asked to give a verdict on the reform on 1 March during an Extraordinary General Assembly.


(Newser) – Yemeni security officials say a gunman has assassinated the Yemeni chief of security at the US Embassy in Sanaa. The officials say Qassem Aqlani, who was in his fifties, was shot dead while on his way to work early today. They say a gunman on a motorcycle opened fire at him and fled the scene. The Yemeni officials said the killing bore the hallmarks of an al-Qaeda attack, but it was too early to determine if the group was behind it.
How is this tie into anything political? Yemen is a terrorist resort.
hey..hey..don't you know it's bush's doing..


There's no denying that mobile is the way your customer will connect with your business from this point moving forward. But since it's still an upcoming tactic, web designs for smartphones and tablets are struggling to make their pages appealing and user friendly.
Like simplicity, usability is another top priority when it comes to optimizing your mobile site. Visitors need space to select links and scroll through your pages. The more white space you provide them, the easier it is for them to make their way around.
The same goes for the size of links — the bigger they are, the easier it is for the users to tap them. In addition, it's a good idea to ensure that all the information you've included is categorized and sorted logically, making everything easy to find. Last but not least, verify that every button, image, and menu option is clearly legible and working properly.
One of the main reasons users abandon both mobile and desktop websites is due to slow loading time. If your mobile website has heavy graphics, like videos or large images, loading time can significantly increase. It's also important to remember that while the features of your website may appear fine on the smartphone, they may not render over properly to a different smartphone. As a result, it's a good idea to test your site across multiple platforms.
It's important to know what kind of information users who visit your mobile website will be looking for (such as location or business hours) and to plan accordingly. Google Analytics can help you get that data. Their analytics will show you where traffic is coming from, which sections of your site are most popular amongst users, and other information that'll help you design an effective site for mobile. Using that data to optimize your mobile website design is a constant process that shouldn't be overlooked.
More and more people are using their smartphones and tablets to visit websites, so make sure that your mobile website is designed to meet the need and wants of your visitors. By avoiding a complicated, dysfunctional and slow website design, users will stay longer and can easily browse around the site.
If your company is wanting to make your website more accessible and easier to navigate for mobile device users, we'll help you with your mobile website design needs.

Doctor Leads a Crusade to Replace Office Visits as Standard Procedure
By Bernard Wysocki Jr.Staff Reporter of The Wall Street Journal
May 30, 2002 11:21 am ET
BOSTON -- When Ann Berwick was hospitalized in 1999 with symptoms of a rare autoimmune disorder of the spinal cord, she fell victim to many of the flaws in the U.S. health-care system.
Mrs. Berwick was scheduled for immediate treatment with a crucial drug. But even though she was gravely ill, she didn't get the first dose for 60 hours.
Again and again, as new doctors got involved in the case, they repeated orders for other drugs that had already been tried unsuccessfully. Hospital staff gathered Mrs. Berwick's vital data, such as blood counts, body temperature and weight, in a disorganized way. And, on three occasions, they left her frightened and alone on a gurney late at night in a hospital subbasement.
"Nothing I could do ... made any difference," recalls her husband, Donald Berwick, a Harvard-trained physician. "It nearly drove me mad."
For Dr. Berwick, it was an eye-opening experience. Eight years earlier, he had founded a nonprofit institute bent on improving the quality of U.S. medical care.

# Introduction to Switch Winforms

The first part of the Switch Winforms tutorial introduces Switch Framework and the Winforms library.

## About this tutorial

This is Switch C++ Winforms tutorial. Switch Winforms tutorial is for beginner programmers. The goal of this tutorial is to teach readers basics of GUI programming in Switch Winforms. The tutorial is created and tested on macOS. Nevertheless, it can be used on other operating systems as well. Most examples should run without modification. Images used in this tutorial can be downloaded here.

## Switch

The Switch Project is an open development initiative sponsored by Gammasoft to develop an open source, native C++ version of the Microsoft .NET development platform.

Switch can be divided into four groups:

* **System** components
* **Drawing** components
* **Forms** components (Winforms)
* **TUnit** compnents

The **System** components are the libraries hat provide access to system functionality. It is the foundation on which c++ applications. The **Drawing** components support advanced two-dimensional and vector graphics functionality, advanced imaging functionality, and print-related and typographical services and also contains types that extend design-time user-interface logic and drawing. The **Forms** components contains all for creating Windows-based applications that take full advantage of the rich user interface features available in the modern operating system (Winforms). The **TUnit** components are a unit-testing framework for modern C++14.

Switch is multiplatform programming platform. It can be run on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOs and android operating systems.

### Remarks

**Drawing** and **Forms** components doesn't run on android and iOS operating systems.

## Winforms

Windows Forms is a graphical user interface application programming interface (API) included as a part of Gammasoft Switch Framework. Simply put, Winforms is a library for creating GUI applications.

## Compiling examples

Our tutorial uses the C++ language. To compile all the examples in this tutorial, we use [cmake](https://cmake.org).

``` cmake
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.2)

project(Simple)
find_package(Switch REQUIRED)
add_executable(Simple ${SWITCH_GUI} Simple.cpp)
target_link_libraries(Simple Switch.System.Windows.Forms)
```

### Simple.cpp

```c++
#include <Switch/Switch>

using namespace System::Windows::Forms;

class Simple : public Form {
public:
  Simple() {
     this->Text = "Simple";
     this->Size = System::Drawing::Size(250, 200);
     this->StartPosition = FormStartösition::CenterScreen;
  }

  static void Main() {
     Application::Run(Simple());
  }
};

startup_(Simple);
```

In our simple example, we need Switch.System.Windows.Forms libraries.

### Windows command lines :

``` bash
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=c:/usr/local
cmake --build . --config Debug
```

### macOS command lines :

``` bash
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G "Xcode"
cmake --build . --config Debug
```

### Linux command lines :

``` bash
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++
cmake --build . -- -j 8
```
