Rome has seen its share of turmoil over the centuries and at half-time yesterday it looked as if Ireland would flood the Tiber with tears of grief.
The Italians scored two tries and came from behind to take an unexpected lead. They had crossed the Rubicon and there was no turning back.
The usual outcome for Italy was to blaze away like dry turf that has been left out in the sun too long.
Then they faded in the third quarter, and even more so in the fourth quarter, but teams never tire when they are going forward.
Conor O'Shea has improved Italy's staying power. He is a Kerryman, if not by birth, well then by choice. Conor's dad Jerome won three senior All-Irelands and he was always a very fit man right up to old age.
Italy aren't quite there yet but they played for every minute of the match. For a while it seemed this could be another Tigranocerta.
The Roman team of 69BC was captained by Lucius Lucinius Lucullus - his mother was fond of alliteration - and LLL's troops were only 10,000 in number.
The Battle of Tigranocerta was the biggest mismatch since Dublin's Dirty Dozen or Twelve Apostles, depending on your allegiance, won the Sam in 1983.
Tigranes the Great fielded an army of 300,000 at Tigranocerta. The Romans wiped out the 300,000. History doesn't record, but I wonder if the Armenian King was subsequently referred to as Tigranes the Bate. I am sure there were systems failures in Tigranocerta.
Seán Cronin will be blamed for some of his throwing but it must be remembered that he was trying to connect with a new-to-him second-row pairing. Ireland made many mistakes but Conor O'Shea's team have improved this season. Wales only beat Italy by ten. Throw in the disruption due to on-field injuries and Ireland were severely disadvantaged.
The last time Italy beat us we ended up with a disrupted back-line. Peter O'Mahony played on the wing that day.
Rugby is all about the plan. And when the plan is failing, you go back to the tried and tested. Niall Scannell was in the same boat as Cronin. He hadn't played too much rugby with the final second-row combination of Ian Henderson and Ultan Dillane. Scannell threw three to his Munster colleague Peter O'Mahony and the plan worked. Ireland scored from two of the three throws.
Ireland's pre-set back-line planning was in ruins when Bundee Aki went off injured. There was no one-for-one cover for his position.
Conor Murray picked out Keith Earls with another trademark Munster pass. Earls went over and that was the winning of the game.
Sexton and Murray go together like bacon and cabbage but right now they haven't yet come to the boil. Their season has been disrupted due to injuries.
Murray scored a try and made another. He is taking too long to get the ball away from the base of the ruck, which gives the opposition too much time to think and reset and disrupt, but this can be worked upon.
Sexton only took one late tackle yesterday. He is very close to getting it right. I would have no worries about these two. All they need is time.
The wind was strong and mischievous. Kicking wasn't as easy as it seems to be from the sitting room. The wind is invisible on the television. I'm told the wind was strong enough to blow the Pope's hat off.
There wasn't an Irish player who didn't give his all but some were better than others.
Peter O'Mahony was our captain and, like the hawk, he swooped on his prey in the air and sunk his talons in to the ground ball.
Ultan Dillane went through a tough time when his mother Ellen died around this time last year and it took him some time to find his feet.
Ellen was a nurse and I have this feeling she is still nursing her young lad. Ultan always had it in him. It seems to have been forgotten that he played particularly well when we beat the All Blacks for the first time in Chicago.
Dillane tackled big men to the ground by concentrating on the part of the body that is the narrowest. He went for the ankles. Down they went, every time. Ellen's boy was Ireland's outstanding player.
Jacob Stockdale has an eye for the try and once again he scored when Sexton floated the ball over the Italians, who foolishly advanced too far out from the touchline.
He is our Jonah Lomu. These young lads kept us in the hunt for what we were told was England's Championship.
Their promoters claimed England could field several teams capable of winning the Championship. When injury struck, they were found out by Wales.
You would never know what might happen. Scotland will tear into Wales at Murrayfield. Conor O'Shea knows the English better than any man and Italy can deny England the bonus point in Twickenham. If Ireland can get four tries and beat France, we will still be in contention on the back nine.
The good news story is a tale of two tens. Jack Carty only played for a few minutes but he's capped now. Jack has been outstanding this season. He has the cut of man who knows what he's at.
Ian McKinley was deemed unfit for purpose here in Ireland by health and safety. Ian lost an eye playing rugby. He went to Italy as a 22-year-old coach and yesterday Ian came on against the country of his birth for another cap.
McKinley, a real life hero, looks like Biggles in the goggles, and here is one man who is flying high on the elixir of sporting participation.


JD.EQ.ARR is reported when two arrays are compared through an equals() method.
Method equals() called on array operates the same as a '==' operator, comparing references, not the array itself. It is most likely an error; a deep array comparison is required.
JD.EQ.ARR is reported for 'equals' call on line 15: Comparison of arrays using the 'equals' method. For arrays, 'equals' compares the identities of the two arrays - not the values of the array contents. Should probably be replaced with java.util.Arrays.equals(...) call.


The business segment Animal Health provides scientific findings for the authority responsible (Ministry of Health and Women's Affairs) for veterinary issues in Austria to serve as a basis for health-related, political decisions, as well as assisting with the implementation of monitoring programmes for livestock. The Division's key activities comprise the detection, prevention and control of economically significant animal diseases and the investigation of outbreaks of enzootic diseases. The veterinary institutes in Mödling, Linz and Innsbruck, as well as the Department for Veterinary Examinations at the Institute of Medical Microbiology in Graz, provide protection against zoonoses and infectious animal diseases in livestock in their role as "animal disease detectives".
Maintaining and improving the status of animal health in Austria ensures the provision of primary animal products of the highest possible quality to maintain and improve the competitiveness of Austrian primary-good production and all related businesses.
The laboratories meet all standards required by the EU for national reference laboratories and work according to quality-assured criteria (accreditation according to EN ISO/IEC 17025, Quality Management in the Business Segment Animal Health).
Outside of normal office hours urgent samples may be left with the porter along with details of the ordering customer and the requisite valid form.
For cases of suspected epidemics outside of normal opening hours only by telephone arrangement by calling +43 (0)664 9670940 or +43 (0)664 8398216).
The institute's remit includes the diagnosis of infections within the framework of epizootic disease and zoonosis control as well as veterinary medical examinations of sample material of animal origin. The institute has the most modern laboratory facilities at its disposal for investigating exotic animal diseases, highly contagious epizootic diseases and zoonosis pathogens.
In urgent cases (suspected epidemic) also available outside of normal opening hours upon arrangement by calling +43 (0) 664 8398178 any time 24/7.
The remit includes the diagnosis of infections within the framework of the control of epizootic diseases and zoonoses control as well as veterinary medical examinations of sample material of animal origin in the region of Austria with the highest density of working animals.
In urgent cases (suspected epidemic) also available outside of normal opening hours upon arrangement by calling +43 664 8399043 any time 24/7.
The remit includes the diagnosis of infections within the framework of the control of epizootic diseases and zoonoses, as well as veterinary medical examinations of sample material of animal origin in western Austria.
Amongst the main tasks of the Animal Health Division is the performance of its function as national reference laboratory for a whole range of zoonoses and epizootic diseases. Appointments as National Reference Laboratories (Animal Health) or National Reference Centres (Public Health) are through the Austrian Federal Ministry of Health and Women's Affairs on the basis of European Union and national legislation. Reference functions are important activities in the field of animal health and the diagnosis of zoonotic pathogens and because they are in the national interest, they are treated in a similar fashion to National Reference Laboratory responsibilities.
In our capacity as National Reference Laboratory and Reference Centre (Brucellosis) we are constantly striving to fulfil our statutory duties. The AGES veterinary laboratories stand out because of high standards in the field of laboratory diagnostics. They are accredited in accordance with EN ISO 17025 and in their area of expertise constantly analyse samples, participate in national and international research projects and in conjunction with the EU Reference Laboratories are involved in developing standardised test methods.
A high degree of independence - along with this expertise - provide a guarantee for food safety, animal and human health. As epidemiologically based National Reference Laboratories we are linked into an international network of reference laboratories which in cooperation with the World Organisation for Animal Health - OIE is supporting the efforts to combat epizootic diseases worldwide. In this connection, commissioned by the Austrian Federal Government, and in conjunction with the AGES department for "Data, Statistics and Risk Assessment" we are developing contingency plans, monitoring programmes, monitoring studies, risk analyses and early warning systems.
More detailed information about the requirements with regard to sample material (material and organ requirements) for VIS-relevant diseases can be found under Service Animal Health, Information for the Official Veterinarian.
Biosafety is more than just a buzzword. The decisive criterion for this should always be the actual or real risk - and to be able to assess this appropriate bioscientific expertise is required.
It is the remit of the Bio Risk Officer (BRO) to protect the Austrian population, Austrian livestock and the environment from contagious and highly contagious pathogens by using his special expertise in an advisory capacity . The BRO acting in the business segment Animal Health is responsible for all matters of biosafety and is supported by the Bio Risk Office and Bio Risk Team. The BRO is fully informed concerning the occurrence, possible spread and decontamination methods with regard to contagious and highly contagious pathogens and makes decisions and takes measures in the interest of maintaining biosafety. Their expertise is at the disposal of the business sector, the Austrian Federal Ministry of Health and to third parties.
The Annual Meeting of the European Biosafety Association took place in Vienna from 21-24 April 2015. A broad range of topics were covered as part of pre-conference courses all connected with education in the field of biosafety expertise and research. In the main conference, high-level presentations and break-out sessions covered the topic of biosafety as part of research and work, in clinical facilities, as part of risk communication, in transfers from the field into laboratory and hospital scenarios, as well as in dual-use applications.

I agree. Even so, in a fast first reading I didn't see the word since I already known what an initrd is. I think this can be considered for lenny's first update, since who knows will think that it is a mistranslation, and who does not know will probably be installing for a single computer and then any of the two options will work for him/her.

Flag of Algeria Which Is a North African Country, With a Mediterranean Coastline and a Saharan Desert Interior.
Situated north of the Sahara desert. Algeria shares a common border with Libya, Tunisia, Niger, Mali, and Morocco. Algeria has access to the Mediterranean Sea as well as the Sahara Desert. Algiers is the capital and main port of Algeria. This city which has become the political, economic, and cultural centre of the country. It was chosen by the French to be the capital, after they colonized it in 1830. The city name is Arabic; 'al-Jazair' and literally means "the islands". This in reference to four islands formerly off the coast but joined to the mainland in 1525.
Algerian History spans; thousands of Years some of it being under the rule of foreign powers namely: 'the Roman Empire; Byzantine, Germanic vandal societies and the Turkish Ottoman Empire'. Around 8 A.D., when Algeria was part of the Ottoman Empire, the indigenous Berber population converted to Islam. Then in 1830's, the crumbling Ottoman Rule, gave way when the French monarchy invaded and occupied Algeria. In 1834, France annexed this country. Then in 1848, in a move unprecedented amongst French colonial possessions, it was made another French department (or province) different from most of its colonies. In the 1950's, the 'Front De Liberation Nationale', (FNL) led a guerrilla war against French rule. This ended victoriously in 1962, when Algeria became an independent republic. This was after a 132 Years of French rule. An exodus of one million French settlers then occurred. Since independence Algeria has experienced political and economic crisis, attended by the spread of militant Islam and the start of a low intensity civil war between the government and the Front Islamique du Salut (FIS), which won the annulled election of 1992.

Brandon Township charges ex-librarian lied about skills
Mike Martindale
The Detroit News
Pontiac – — The Brandon Township Library is suing a former director for more than $270,000 in damages for allegedly faking her educational credentials to get her job.
The Oakland Circuit Court lawsuit says Paula Jo Crowfoot Gauthier defrauded the public library beginning in 2005 when she applied for jobs as assistant director and director of the library. She became director in September 2006 with an annual $58,240 salary and benefits.
Gauthier of Rochester Hills could not be reached for comment Monday.
According to the complaint, Gauthier was hired in 2001 as an adult services department head and later turned in a resume which said she had a Bachelor of Arts degree from Grand Valley State University and a Master of Library Science degree from the University of Michigan.
In fact, according to the lawsuit, Gauthier did not have any post-high school bachelor degree, library services degree, masters of library science degree from any accredited college or university.
The lawsuit alleges Gauthier breached her duty and obligations by falsifying her credentials and filing false reports with the library's board of trustees and state of Michigan. The actions prohibited the library from receiving state money and by "abusing her power" as director she appropriated funds for her own benefit, the lawsuit alleges.
Among financial damages itemized in the complaint: $35,028 in state aid; $60,084 in retirement contribution; and $121,989 in excess salary when promoted to a job she was not qualified to hold.
The lawsuit has been assigned to Judge Rudy Nichols.

One day. All of us. What can we do in one day?
Every gift is important and makes a difference in the Department's ability to provide unique opportunities for students and faculty. One such opportunity was presented in September to the group of doctoral students who attended the Graduate Student Summit For Diversity In Economics at UC Berkeley, which brought together graduate students and researchers from a range of institutions to start building networks of young researchers working to improve diversity in the discipline. Students come back to U-M energized and ready to apply what they learned to our own DEI initiatives saying that it was an "inspiring and jam-packed experience." This opportunity was made possible by your gifts to LSA Economics! To help support future opportunities in the Department of Economics, please donate to the Economics Strategic Fund (321375).
Your gift, no matter the size, will make a difference. During each hour of GBD, challenges will be posted throughout the U-M social media channels at the university, school, department, and organizational level. These challenges provide fun and engaging ways to spread the word about your involvement at U-M and about donations made, including opportunities to have donations matched.
Remember, "Practice Economics at Any Cost!"

Q: async version runs slower than the non async version My program does the following:

*

*Takes folder of .txt files

*For each file:
2.1. read the file
2.2 sort the contents as a list and pushes the list to a master list
I did this without any async/await and these are the time statistics
real    0m0.036s

user    0m0.018s

With the below async/await code I get

user    0m0.116s

sys     0m0.029s

which given the use case suggests that I am using aysncio incorrectly.

Make some test files...
import random, os
path = <directory name here>
nlines = range(1000)
nfiles = range(1,101)
for n in nfiles:
    fname = f'{n}.txt'
    with open(os.path.join(path,fname),'w') as f:
        for _ in nlines:
            q = f.write(f'{random.randrange(1,10000)}\n')

A: asyncio makes little sense for local files. That is the reason, even python standard library does not have them.
async for line in fin:

Consider the above line. The event loop pauses the co-routine for every line read and executes some other co-routine. Which means the following lines of the file in the cpu cache are just thrown away to make space for the next co-routine. (They will still be in RAM though).
When should aiofiles be used?
Consider you already use async code in your program and occasionally you have to do some file processing. If file processing was done in the same event loop, all the other co-routines are going to be blocked. In that case you can either use aiofiles or do the processing in a different executor.
If all the program is doing is just reading from files. It will be faster to do them sequentially so that it makes good use of cache. Jumping from one file to another is like an thread context switch and should make it slower.

Non-profit Efficiency Ratio: What are they and Why it is important?
Account for nonprofit
Each organization, regardless of its main goal, ought to occasionally estimate how well it satisfies that mission and how successfully assets are being used all the while.
While the particular measurements that every nonprofit embraces to evaluate its exhibition will vary, certain key ratios ought to be utilized to adequately judge execution, recognize patterns month over month and year over year, enhance dynamic strategies, and benchmark against comparative organizations.
Current Ratio: An essential proportion of financial backbone, the current ratio basically divides present resources (for example, money reserves and ventures, estate, vehicles, and facilities) by current liabilities (for example, taxes). This subsequent number speaks to the capacity of the not-for-profit to meet transient commitments. As a rule, a current ratio surpassing one demonstrates a capacity to meet existing commitments.
Net Operating Ratio: This amount demonstrates how effectively an organization is utilizing its cash to finance activities. To ascertain networking ratio, minus complete costs from total salary and divide the outcome by whole pay. The higher the ratio of salary to costs, the more planned an organization is. Contrast this information year over year in order to observe the organization's development.
Fundraising Efficiency Ratio: Nonprofit organizations depend widely on fundraising through occasions, for example, celebrations, golf excursions, and wagers, which include big-scale planning, promotions, staffing, and co-ordinations costs. By dividing the aggregate sum spent on fundraising by the aggregate sum raised, an organization can compute whether they are understanding a profit on the interest in raising money endeavors. An outcome of smaller than one implies that an organization increased more than it spent. Alternately, in the event that it is more prominent than one, the organization spent more than it picked up. To increase further understanding, consider dividing all contributions by unlimited commitments, which can be utilized as the organization thinks fit, consisting of general working costs.
Program Efficiency Ratio: This figure shows how proficient the organization is at utilizing assets for its center goal and is controlled by dividing all program costs (cash spent straightforwardly on advancing the organization's main goal) by all out costs. Basically, givers and board people might want to see a balanced ratio, however it's unreasonable for all assets to be devoted to programs without some authoritative expenses.

Importance of Ratios:
Financial ratios can be valuable instruments for those accountable for observing a nonprofit's financial status and tasks. Ratios are not an objective in themselves, in any case, and care ought to be taken in their translation.
The standard way of thinking with respect to alluring levels for certain ratios might be unsupported by observational information.
For instance, not-for-profits frequently feel constrained to bring down overhead ratios, despite the fact that studies show that interest in overhead is regularly basic to general not-for-profit drove mission achievement.
Each not-for-profit experiences novel conditions and the quest for a given system may improve one ratio while compounding another.
It is additionally significant for board members to comprehend that asset suppliers screen the organization's ratios. The executives ought to envision and be set up to address the worries of contributors and grantor offices with respect to the organization's monetary status.
Since not-for-profit organizations exist for purposes other than acquiring a return for valued financial investors, factors generally used to assess business ventures are not appropriate for assessing them.
Besides, despite the fact that they are generally spoken to as a solitary class of the organization, an extraordinary assortment exists in the goal and accounts of not-for-profit organizations.
While numerous not-for-profits depend intensely on commitments, others infer the majority of their incomes from the deals of administrations or enrollment dues.
Due to changing missions and financing sources, there are no division wide standards to control supervisors and board individuals.
It is frequently hard for not-for-profit-driven administrators and boards to get ready for the organization's money-related future in view of dependence on commitments and the absence of consistency of interest for their services. The future can be overwhelming if a not-for-profit does not have a solid handle on its

money related position. A not-for-profit can be that as it may, help keep up its money manageability by observing judicious budgetary administration norms and checking financial ratios.
Financial administration principles help a not-for-profit screen its financial plan, income, asset usage, and income sources.
Utilizing the privileged financial measurements can give the organization and its board members and givers important data to help benchmark against past execution, measure progression toward development and benefit objectives, and settle on choices about projects and activities.

The Justice Department urged the Supreme Court Monday to trim back a nationwide ruling that blocks the government from punishing sanctuary cities — those that decline to help the federal government enforce immigration laws.
A judge in Chicago was wrong, the Justice Department said, to stop the government from enforcing its policy of denying law enforcement grants to sanctuary cities nationwide. Instead the judge's order should have been limited to granting relief only to Chicago, which filed a lawsuit challenging the policy.
Though once relatively rare, nationwide injunctions in a variety of cases have become more frequent in recent years. Three years ago, for example, a judge in Texas blocked President Barack Obama from allowing adults who came to the U.S. illegally to stay if they have U.S. citizen children.
For more than a year, Attorney General Jeff Sessions has been turning up the heat on sanctuary cities, telling them they would lose federal crime-fighting grants if their police refused to give immigration authorities advance notice before releasing illegal immigrants from custody or declined to allow immigration agents to visit local jails.

Club doorman
Mini has addressed one of the few shortcomings of its standard hatchback – lack of space – with the new Clubman, but, as Nargess Shahmanesh-Banks discovers, the company has balanced this application of good sense with a heavy dose of its trademark eccentr
By System Administrator November 7, 2007 12:07 am January 29, 2015 9:19 pm
Mini's reincarnation under BMW Group's savvy direction has been a huge success story. More than a million Minis have rolled off the Plant Oxford production line in the six years since the first generation hatchback was born. The family has grown to include a convertible, and matured into a more premium brand in its second generation, offering genuine metal, leather and wood inside. In fact, the brand has become so posh that virtually every car is built to order.
Yet, BMW Group believes that many potential customers were put off buying the car because of its limited internal space. Hence, the Clubman is now born, a Mini estate, based vaguely on the Morris Mini Traveller and the Austin Countryman, and closely linked to the 2005 Shooting Brake concept car.
Size was the first obstacle. This is, after all, a 'mini' car, even though the dimensions are nothing close to the original, 1960s car. The wheelbase of the current, standard hatchback has been stretched by 80mm, increasing leg room, and the rear overhang extended by 160mm, giving the car an extra 100l of boot space, now 260l. 'In terms of proportion, this is as far as we could go,' says the Clubman's designer Marcus Syring, who leads the exterior design team from the main studio in Munich, Germany.
'Then, we thought,' says Syring, 'what is the story behind the Mini? It has to have go-kart handling.' Hence, the wide track, big wheels which sit at the very farthest corners, the short overhang and masculine shoulders which give this Mini, just like the hatchback, an agile feel.
This may be an estate car, but BMW Group knew it needed to make it very different from the average example. Syring explains that the car had to be more masculine than the hatchback, and so he created a stiffer rear-end that is straighter and consequently, he notes, masculine.
This also allows for a larger, more accessible boot, says Syring, 'As Mies van der Rohe once said, "Form follows function". This, too, expresses functionality through design,' he explains. It also fulfils Mini's desire for individuality.
The quirky design features don't end there. The hinges for the van-like split rear doors have been pushed back to the very edges of the car. It is a practical solution, which makes loading very easy, but, by doing so, the rear lights have ended up being inside the doors. According to legislation, tail lights cannot be mounted on doors, for the simple safety reason that the doors could not be opened at night.
'This is when we decided to do something completely new to motoring,' boasts Syring. They literally made cut-outs of the lights in the two doors, leaving the tail lights mounted on the car. The result is visually quite comic, yet adds to the eccentricity of the Clubman.
'We didn't want to do retro design,' he notes. 'The Clubman has to carry the heritage, but be up-to-date with technology, which is why this was a great and individual solution.'
To complete the playful design language, the team came up with a 40cm-wide rear-side coach door, named the Clubdoor (known generically as a 'suicide door'), on the driver's side only. A conventional sliding door was considered, 'but this would require external rails that [did not suit] our chic design', says Syring.
Again, legislation played some part in deciding on which side to put the Clubdoor, a subject that has ignited debate. Putting it on the left would require the fuel filler to be redesigned, while regulation in the US (a big market for the brand) does not allow for the fuel filler to be mounted behind the rear wheel in case of high-speed collision.
The rear overhang would have also become much longer to accommodate it, and so the door, to the annoyance of many UK critics, has found its home on the right. 'We liked the way it made the car asymmetrical,' says Syring. 'From the left, the car is fast-looking, almost coupé-like in styling, but, from the right, we added an extra B pillar, which makes it look structured,' he says. 'There is no need to be symmetrical like everyone else.' l
The Clubman will account for about 25 per cent of production once it is sold globally, and it goes on sale in Europe on 10 November. Next to join the family is a Mini SAV (sports activity vehicle), planned for 2012

EE expands 4G LTE coverage; boasts 45 percent of UK coverage
The UK's first 4G LTE network now covers 45 percent of the population, thanks to increased investment in the next-generation broadband service.
Written by Zack Whittaker, Writer-editor

Posted in Between the Lines on January 31, 2013 | Topic: United Kingdom
The UK's first 4G network said today it will expand to nine new areas across the UK, increasing its overall long-term evolution (LTE) coverage to 45 percent of homes and businesses within the first 90 days of launch.
In addition to the major metropolitan areas--such as London, Manchester, Liverpool, and so on--4G LTE services will today be switched on in Amersham, Bolton, Chelmsford, Hemel Hempstead, Southend-on-Sea, Stockport, Sunderland, Sutton Coldfield, and Wolverhampton.
It's part of the firm's efforts to have 98 percent of the UK population covered by the end of 2014. So far, the company's on track, but getting the low-invested areas of rural countryside swathed with LTE coverage will be particularly costly, considering the poor rate of return for the company.
In prepared remarks, EE chief executive officer Olaf Swantee said:
To be ahead of schedule and covering approximately 45 percent of the population within just 90 days of the launch is a great achievement for our network team. We continue to bring superfast mobile to more and more people, whether they're using their devices outdoors or in their homes and offices, and to increase the speed and consistency of our 4G and 3G network across the UK.
In the meantime, the UK's telecoms regulator Ofcom opened up the spectrum-bidding process just over a week ago, but it will likely take some weeks, if not a couple of months, before the winners are announced. Rival networks hope to have their slice of the 4G LTE pie by mid August or September at the latest, by which time they aim to switch on next-generation speeds.

Getting back to work is all he knows, which is probably why he and Tolzien seem to have hit it off. "This is a tough business," McCarthy said.

Flynn confessed he never thought he'd be back in Green Bay after leaving as a free agent in early 2012 with an eye on becoming a starter. But he wasn't able to win jobs in Seattle last year or Oakland this year before a recent stint with Buffalo ended quickly and made him available to help the Packers in a pinch. "It definitely didn't go the way I planned," said Flynn, who also dismissed concerns about his elbow and proclaimed his throwing arm fine. "Since I've left here, I've learned three different playbooks, three different terminologies, three different philosophies on how to attack defense, how to do footwork this way or that way. "But I've been ingrained in this offense for so long, knew it inside and out, was fluent in the language, fluent in what we're trying to do, that it's come back pretty quickly, and I see myself having it down pretty close to 100 percent very soon.

Have you ever had to paint out an object from a scene frame by excruciating frame? I have, it's not fun. Any tool out there that can make that job easier would be a godsend.
Enter Technische Universität with Diminished Reality. As you can see in the video below, you simply draw a circle around the object you would like to remove and the software does the rest automatically. In some of the examples where there are more complex patterns around the object, accuracy doesn't seem to be the greatest. But this software isn't ready for prime time just yet, plus with a little TLC I'm sure it could do a better job. Much more accurate results should be possible without the need to do this in real time. Anything to help automate the process would be awesome!
The software achieves this in a clever way. The image is reduced in quality, the object is roughly removed and as the quality is brought back up it re-enhances in just 40 milliseconds per frame. It currently runs on Windows and is planned to release on Android. Here's hoping they release a plug in for After Effects.
Super cool, and yes an AE plug-in would make us all VERY happy. Even with the decent results it gets live if you could have that in AE and then spend just a little time cleaning up it would be amazing.

Germany's EURO 2016 base camp: Campo Bahia a role mode
???subjectTaxonomy.UefaEuro2016???
???newsOffset.pdfTitle???
As the reigning World Champions, they definitely don't lack self-confidence. It is why the "Deutsche Fußball-Bund" (DFB – German Football Association) this year in June – long before the team had clinched their place in France – confidently communicated that the national team would take up residence on the banks of Lake Geneva for the duration of the 2016 European Championship. To be more exact, they will be based in the four-star Hôtel Ermitage. Built in 1909, it nestles in a 19-hectare park situated above the town of Évian-les-Bains on the "Plateau des Mateirons".

At the time, the organisational planning was far more advanced than the on-the-pitch planning as the German national team was facing a difficult autumn in which they had to ensure they qualified for the championship. Despite the 1-0 defeat in Ireland, Germany duly booked their ticket to the European Championship final with ease by beating Poland (3-1), Scotland 3-2 away and Georgia 2-1, and thus confirmed the DFB were right to plan early. General Manager Oliver Bierhoff hopes the base will give the team an advantage similar to the one they had in Brazil in 2014 when they stayed in the already legendary "Campo Bahia". "The World Cup is the past and now the focus is on the European Championship in France. Insights gained at recent tournaments tell us that we need to have the organisational and logistics planning in place at an early stage," explained Bierhoff. The general manager had previously travelled the length and breadth of France to find the ideal solution. "Important for the base camp is that it is compact and everything is within easy reach. We don't want to make any concessions. Having travelled all over the country in the past few months, we have found what we were looking for in Evian even though we had various options right up until the last minute," continued Bierhoff.

Like in Brazil, the surrounding area should add to the players' well-being and promote a relaxed atmosphere during the four-week tournament. Bierhoff is pleased with the choice: "In Hôtel Ermitage we'll have the perfect conditions in which we can work in peace and quiet, train and regenerate. Lake Geneva and the Alps lend an impressive backdrop and the proximity of the town of Evian and the good working facilities for the accompanying media are other plus points." The four-star hotel is situated above the town of Évian-les-Bains on Plateau des Mateirons 125 metres above the lake in a 19-hectare park. The hotel was completely renovated in 2010 and has 80 rooms plus 11 conference rooms that can be converted into offices and workrooms. For regenerative training, there is the hotel's own Quatre Terres health spa. Geneva Airport is 45 kilometres away and the Évian-les-Bains town centre is three kilometres down the road. Only 1000 metres separate the Stade Camille Fournier practice pitches and the hotel.
Pre-championships training camp in Ascona, Switzerland
Before the squad moves into the base camp shortly before the start of the tournament on 10 June, they will have a ten to 12-day training camp behind them – but not in France. Instead they will, in all probability, go to Switzerland in a place popular amongst holidaymakers. Though the details still have to be finalised, the DFB entourage will, as they did for the whole of the EURO 2008, set up camp in Ticino to prepare for the European Championship. In Ascona on the banks of Lago Maggiore, the finishing touches will be put to the team in their efforts to add the EURO 2016 title to its World Cup win.

Attractive warm-up games await the players before they finally set off for Ticino where the final EURO 2016 squad will named on 31 May. The friendlies are all real tests in which potential squad members can recommend themselves. First up is the game against championship hosts France in Paris on 13 November and then four days later the national side will be a home to the Netherlands in Hanover. Scheduled for the new year are matches against England in Berlin on 26 March and against Italy in Munich on 29 March. Four encounter therefore against big rivals in which the German team can find their World Cup form that they rarely showed during the European Championship qualifiers. After topping their group with something to spare in the end, the DFB can nevertheless look forward with relative ease to 12 December when the groups are drawn in Paris. Irrespective of what happens in the four play-offs in November, Germany will head the seeded teams in the top pot which will also include hosts France, title-holders Spain and the teams with the best UEFA co-efficiency, namely England, Portugal and Belgium.
Pots for EURO 2016 draw complete after play-offs
Italy has only made it into the second pot and will therefore avoid Russia, Switzerland, Austria and Croatia in the group phase. Whether the Czech Republic is in the second pot depends on the results of the play-offs (12 to 17 November) between Sweden and Denmark, Ireland and Bosnia, Norway and Hungary as well as Slovenia and Ukraine. Currently certain of a place in pot 3 are therefore only Poland, Romania and Slovakia. Turkey may join them but they could drop down to pot 4 with Iceland, Wales, Albanian and Northern Ireland after the play-offs.

Irrespective of who Germany are drawn against on 12 December, the DFB side only has one aim anyway – the European Championship title. The team can look forward to the full support of the people living in the immediate vicinity of their base camp. Évian is already eagerly awaiting the arrival of the co-favourites: "It's a big honour for us to play host to the reigning world champions," said Yannick Le Hec, the general manager of the Évian resort. He added, "We wish the German team all the very best for the competition."

How discovery of the slave ship Clotilda informs U.S. history
4 years ago PBS NewsHour
"The remains of the last slave ship that came to America have been found. In 1860, the schooner Clotilda brought 110 Africans to U.S. shores, decades after it was illegal to import slaves into the country. The wreckage of the boat was discovered in Alabama's Mobile River. Megan Thompson reports on the search for Clotilda,…
How the autobiography of a Muslim slave is challenging an American narrative
"Omar Ibn Said was 37 years old when he was taken from his West African home and transported to Charleston, South Carolina, as a slave in the 1800s. Now, his one-of-a-kind autobiographical manuscript has been translated from its original Arabic and housed at the Library of Congress, where it "annihilates" the conventional narrative of African…
Stories in Stone: Newport's African Burying Ground

"Before the American Revolution, Newport was the largest slave-trading port in British North America and about a third of the entire population of Newport were enslaved and…

Q: Getting a page source after POST variables have been sent I have some code that logs me into Facebook and it works fine as far as returning me the page you see right after you log in.
But I'm trying to request my actual profile after I log in rather than just my news feed.
So I'd have to send my email and password to the login page, then request my profile.
How can I keep the login data around while requesting my profile?
Here is what I've got
    public static string logIn()
    {
        //get the cookies before you try to log in
        CookieCollection cookies = new CookieCollection();
        HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://www.facebook.com");
        request.CookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
        request.CookieContainer.Add(cookies);
        HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
        cookies = response.Cookies;
        response.Close();

        //logging in
        HttpWebRequest getRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://www.facebook.com/login.php?login_attempt=1");
        getRequest.CookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
        getRequest.CookieContainer.Add(cookies);
        getRequest.Method = WebRequestMethods.Http.Post;
        getRequest.UserAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/535.2 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/15.0.874.121 Safari/535.2";
        getRequest.AllowWriteStreamBuffering = true;
        getRequest.ProtocolVersion = HttpVersion.Version11;
        getRequest.AllowAutoRedirect = true;
        getRequest.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";

        //sending the email/password
        byte[] byteArray = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("email=myemail@yahoo.com&pass=mypassword");
        getRequest.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
        Stream newStream = getRequest.GetRequestStream();
        newStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
        newStream.Close();

        //returns the source of the page after logging in
        HttpWebResponse getResponse = (HttpWebResponse)getRequest.GetResponse();
        StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(getResponse.GetResponseStream());
        string source = sr.ReadToEnd();
        cookies.Add(getResponse.Cookies);

        //tries to get my profile source
        //everything works fine until here
        getRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://www.facebook.com/myprofile");
        getRequest.CookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
        getRequest.CookieContainer.Add(cookies);
        getRequest.Method = WebRequestMethods.Http.Get;
        getRequest.UserAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/535.2 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/15.0.874.121 Safari/535.2";
        getRequest.AllowWriteStreamBuffering = true;
        getRequest.ProtocolVersion = HttpVersion.Version11;
        getRequest.AllowAutoRedirect = true;
        getRequest.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";

        getResponse = (HttpWebResponse)getRequest.GetResponse();
        sr = new StreamReader(getResponse.GetResponseStream());
        source = sr.ReadToEnd();
        getResponse.Close();
        return source;
    }

I've tried several ways of doing this and I have gotten it to return my profile, but it returns it as if I was not logged in and you can't actually view my profile (because it is set to private)
So I need my login info to be included somehow when requesting my profile.

A: This had me stumped for a while when I was making something similar. You need to make sure you're setting the proper cookies for your request after you've logged in. Try adding the new cookies to the CookieCollection object before applying them to your last request.
// ^ previous code ^
HttpWebResponse getResponse = (HttpWebResponse)getRequest.GetResponse();
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(getResponse.GetResponseStream());
string source = sr.ReadToEnd();

Uri facebookPage = new Uri("http://www.facebook.com"); // .GetCookies() only accepts a Uri
cookies.Add(request.CookieContainer.GetCookies(facebookPage));

getResponse.Close(); // Always make sure you close your responses

// V requesting your profile code V

A: You have to start a CookieCollection at the beginning and use it for all requests.
A CookieCollection updates itself with new cookies whenever you do a request so using cookies.Add() was also messing it up.
But I got it working fine now.
