(Bloomberg) -- America's gender divide is leaving no generation on the sidelines.
The case was filed as Americans went to the polls to vote in midterm elections in which the gender divide is stark and expected to influence the outcome. A record number of women are seeking office in the election, and the #MeToo exposure of workplace sexual harassment in the last year have crystallized voter opinion on candidates and social issues.
In the lawsuit, the Girl Scouts claim their right to use the "Scout" and "Scouting" marks in marketing to girls has long been recognized both by the law and by the Boy Scouts. But the Boy Scouts' decision to open all of its programs to girls has crossed that line, according to the complaint.
This isn't the first time the two organizations tangled in court. A century ago, the Boy Scouts sued to block the Girl Scouts from using the name "Scout," according to the Atlantic magazine.

Louis Vuitton buys the world's second-largest diamond – A 1,758-carat wonder the size of an egg
by Ekta Joshi
It hasn't been long since Louis Vuitton parent company LVMH announced the acquisition of Tiffany for a record-breaking $16.2 billion. And in extending its ambitions to enter the luxury jewelry market, the marquee has now purchased a 1,758-carat diamond, the second largest of its kind in the world. Yes, that's right!
Found in the Karowe mine in Botswana in April, the 'Sewelô' diamond, as it is called, was recovered by Canadian mining company Lucara Diamond Corporation using state-of-the-art X-ray technology. The unpolished gem sits next to the Cullinan that weighs a whopping 3,106 carats and is currently the biggest of its kind to be excavated from the earth.
To make the most of its lucrative purchase, Louis Vuitton has partnered with Lucara and the HB company – a Belgian diamond manufacturer, to polish and manufacture several smaller jewels from the Sewelô diamond. As per the press statement – "The purpose of this unprecedented collaboration between a miner, a cutting-edge manufacturer and a large luxury brand will be the planning, cutting and polishing of a collection of diamonds from Sewelô,"
Commenting on the partnership, Lucara CEO Eira Thomas further said – "We are delighted to be partnering with Louis Vuitton, the famous luxury house, to transform the historic, 1,758-carat Sewelô, Botswana's largest diamond, into a collection of fine jewelry that will commemorate this extraordinary discovery and contribute direct benefits to our local communities of interest in Botswana."
Sewelô or not – Louis Vuitton is surely shining bright off late!

Waterfront Palm Beach mansion owned by late fashion designer hits the market
It's asking $42M, or about $3,500 psf

The Palm Beach estate owned by the late fashion designer and artist Philip Hulitar just hit the market for $41.9 million.
The home, at 980 North Ocean Boulevard, was designed by Marion Sims Wyeth, the same architect responsible for President Trump's Mar-a-Lago club, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Hulitar, who died in 1992, and his wife Mary, who died earlier this year, bought the 12,000-square-foot property in 1971. Their two daughters said they will donate the proceeds of the sale to the Hulitar Family Foundation.

Amenities at the five-bedroom, seven-and-a-half-bathroom mansion include a pool and about 240 feet of direct ocean access, according to listing agent Ashley McIntosh of Douglas Elliman. The 1.5-acre property, built in 1945, could "use some attention," she said.
Hulitar, famous for his cocktail dresses and evening gowns, joins a number of fashion designers to call Palm Beach their home. A mansion where the father of fashion designer Vera Wang once lived sold in June for $36 million. In May, American fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger moved into town after paying $34 million for an oceanfront estate at 100 Casa Bendita. [WSJ] – Amanda Rabines

A: One of the typical solutions for this (at least in Ruby-Cucumber) is a simple method like wait_for_ajax - basically, it blocks until it registers that there's no more active HTTP calls before continuing on. This is usually done inside Capybara as a function call from your step definition. Whenever you expect to have to wait (especially on a third-party page), sprinkle this liberally throughout your step-defs, especially after you take an action (like clicking on something). It's far more dependable than just calling sleep() for a predetermined amount of time.
def wait_for_ajax
    Timeout.timeout(Capybara.default_max_wait_time) do
        loop until finished_all_ajax_requests?
    end
end

def finished_all_ajax_requests?
    page.evaluate_script('jQuery.active').zero?
end

Source: Thoughtbot for original source code (it's been a while) and personal experience fixing an unreliable Capybara/Cucumber test suite.
Also, last I checked, the steps%(...) syntax in Capybara is deprecated, and you should call individual steps with step '...' instead. It lets you treat your step-defs more like function calls (for exactly this kind of thing).

The Buckeyes are returning to Columbus as national champions - a historic end to a historic season. Relive the game's highlights through photos, fan reaction and national coverage.
With gold confetti streaming down, Ohio State celebrated its 125th season of football with one final, historic moment: as victors of the first College Football Playoff National Championship.
This is the eighth national title in football for Ohio State. It was an unbelievable season for the Buckeyes, who persevered over injuries to two Heisman Trophy candidates and the heartbreaking loss of a teammate during the season.
"Through it all, a young group of players has grown up and grown together to show the world what it means to be a Buckeye," President Michael V. Drake wrote in an opinion piece Monday.
#GoBucks was trending Monday night as fans across the world shared their reactions throughout the game, including proud alumni, celebrity fans and students basking in the glow of a Buckeye victory.
O-H!!!!!!!!!!! GAME OVER!!!!!! So happy for my home state!
Before the national championship game, sports writers across the nation noted the loss and challenges the 2014 Buckeyes overcame throughout the season and the fact that the team consistently rose to the challenge after being dubbed "the underdog." Ohio State delivered again.
Cie Grant - who helped the Buckeyes win their last National Championship, in January 2003 – wished Monday's national championship team luck with his a cappella version of "Carmen Ohio."

Home Lifestyle Manufacturers Say "Do it Yourself!"
Manufacturers Say "Do it Yourself!"
Blame it on Starbucks. Consumers seem to be looking for ways to personalize everything they buy. It's not just picking apps for their phones, special touches for their shoes or music for their iPods, but down to customizing everything from mashed potatoes to the water they drink.
Alexander Chernev, an associate professor of marketing at Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management, said consumers derive "additional utility or value" in doing something themselves. Chernev, who studies consumer behavior, calls it "the Ikea effect" because buyers got to assemble their own furniture.
Manufacturers traditionally developed products based on consumer tastes, Chernev said. But as preferences became highly fragmented, companies decided that the only answer was to outsource the customization to consumers themselves.
For example, Heinz scored a smash hit in 2008 with a line of frozen potatoes that moms could steam in the microwave. The associated insight was this: No one likes to peel, everyone wants to mash, and moms feel better about putting something on the table when it has a personal touch. Heinz offers suggestions on the package, and more suggestions online, for "making it your own."
It's hardly a new trend. Apple with its iPods and computers, Harley-Davidson with its motorcycles, Nike with its NikeID shoes that allow customers to personalize their choices online, as well as Starbucks and Coca-Cola have been particularly adept at creating products that let consumers alter them to their own tastes.
The concept has accelerated for 15 years or so and seems to be gaining momentum, notably in beverages.
In February, Kraft, the Northfield, Ill.-based food giant, introduced its first new brand since the DiGiorno pizza line in 1995: MiO, a squeeze bottle of flavoring and a dropper priced at $3.99 that allows consumers to doctor their water to taste with such flavors as strawberry-watermelon and pomegranate.
"Consumers are really looking to have their personal tastes reflect in all things they're doing and using," said MiO senior brand manager Liza Laibe. It's particularly important for millennials, which Kraft pegs as those age 18 to 39.
Kraft is expected to back MiO with the full force of its marketing muscle. Laibe declined to say how much would be spent but said television ads will begin airing in late March. Kraft will also give away 100,000 samples through MiO's Facebook page.
A recent Coca-Cola innovation is the Freestyle machine that lets customers make more than 100 different beverages by adding flavors like lemon, orange or raspberry to their Diet Coke or Dasani water.
Experts trace the drink phenomenon to Starbucks, which pioneered modifiers like "no-whip," "double shot" and "nonfat" to the masses in the early 1990s, effectively removing the stigma attached to complicated orders.
As a result of Starbucks' success, customization became the rage. Burger King returned to popularity in 2006 in part by reminding patrons to "Have it your way."
Sometimes, marketers may take the trend too far. Chernev pointed to a recent ad that encourages consumers to express themselves via their choice of flavored coffee creamer.
While the proliferation of choices may seem extreme, companies seem to be responding to the demands of her generation, said Sophie Grimm, a 23-year-old student at Roosevelt University's Chicago College of Performing Arts.
"Our generation has this sense of entitlement," she said. "It's not only 'the customer is always right,' but 'I'm always right.' "
Sometimes turning over too much choice to the consumer can backfire.
That's one of the problems with MySpace, said 24-year-old Jered Montgomery of Chicago. The social networking site, he said, gave users too much control over the way their pages look.
Facebook, in contrast, boxes information in one basic template while also giving users just the right amount of autonomy to customize their pages, said Montgomery. "I can pick my favorite books (on Facebook), but it's not free-range."
Lynn Dornblaser, director of consumer packaged goods insight at Mintel International, says the media has been dramatically altered as a result of customization.
"We call it a 'snack society' because everybody snacks on little bits of things, little bits of data, little bits of information, and it's all customized just to you," Dornblaser said. She said Google Alerts and RSS feeds have capitalized on the desire for those snacks of news and information as traditional mass-audience newspapers have declined in circulation.
Now a version of what Starbucks did for store sales of coffee is expected to transform the consumption of coffee at home. The latest twist is single-serve coffee pods brewed in machines that allow people to make whatever flavor they want in less than a minute.
"Today when you drink a coffee, you're not looking for a coffee, you're looking for your coffee, the coffee you like, the taste you like," said Xavier Unkovic, general manager of Mars Drinks North America, which is one of several companies betting on the trend.
Mars, which bought Milwaukee-based Alterra Coffee Roasters last year, is launching a set of Alterra packets for its Flavia machines. The coffee products, designed to boost the overall quality of Flavia's offerings, are coupled with a number of tea products and sweet drinks, which taste like Dove chocolate or Milky Way candy bars.
Unkovic compared Americans' increasing affinity for coffee to the growing enthusiasm for wine. "Look at wine 15 years ago," he said, noting most stores didn't have much of a selection.

Cooking requires applying heat to a food which usually, though not always, chemically changes the molecules, thus changing its flavor, texture, appearance, and nutritional properties.[88] Cooking certain proteins, such as egg whites, meats, and fish, denatures the protein, causing it to firm. There is archaeological evidence of roasted foodstuffs at Homo erectus campsites dating from 420,000 years ago.[89] Boiling as a means of cooking requires a container, and has been practiced at least since the 10th millennium BC with the introduction of pottery.[90]
Hybridization is different from grafting. Most of the world's vineyards are planted with European V. vinifera vines that have been grafted onto North American species' rootstock, a common practice due to their resistance to phylloxera, a root louse that eventually kills the vine. In the late 19th century, most of Europe's vineyards (excluding some of the driest in the south) were devastated by the infestation, leading to widespread vine deaths and eventual replanting. Grafting is done in every wine-producing region in the world except in Argentina, the Canary Islands and Chile—the only places not yet exposed to the insect.[71]
Cooking can prevent many foodborne illnesses that would otherwise occur if the food is eaten raw. When heat is used in the preparation of food, it can kill or inactivate harmful organisms, such as bacteria and viruses, as well as various parasites such as tapeworms and Toxoplasma gondii. Food poisoning and other illness from uncooked or poorly prepared food may be caused by bacteria such as pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium and Campylobacter, viruses such as noroviruses, and protozoa such as Entamoeba histolytica. Bacteria, viruses and parasites may be introduced through salad, meat that is uncooked or done rare, and unboiled water.[19]

"Resveratrol in primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease: a dietary and clinical perspective". Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences. 1290: 37–51. doi:10.1111/nyas.12150. PMID 23855464.
In the context of wine production, terroir is a concept that encompasses the varieties of grapes used, elevation and shape of the vineyard, type and chemistry of soil, climate and seasonal conditions, and the local yeast cultures.[72] The range of possible combinations of these factors can result in great differences among wines, influencing the fermentation, finishing, and aging processes as well. Many wineries use growing and production methods that preserve or accentuate the aroma and taste influences of their unique terroir.[73] However, flavor differences are less desirable for producers of mass-market table wine or other cheaper wines, where consistency takes precedence. Such producers try to minimize differences in sources of grapes through production techniques such as micro-oxygenation, tannin filtration, cross-flow filtration, thin-film evaporation, and spinning cones.[74]
Live It! This phase is a lifelong approach to diet and health. In this phase, you learn more about food choices, portion sizes, menu planning, physical activity, exercise and sticking to healthy habits. You may continue to see a steady weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds (0.5 to 1 kilogram) a week until you reach your goal weight. This phase can also help you maintain your goal weight permanently.
The process of making a diet version of a food usually requires finding an acceptable low-food-energy substitute for some high-food-energy ingredient.[16] This can be as simple as replacing some or all of the food's sugar with a sugar substitute as is common with diet soft drinks such as Coca-Cola (for example Diet Coke). In some snacks, the food may be baked instead of fried thus reducing the food energy. In other cases, low-fat ingredients may be used as replacements.
Generally regarded as the most pleasant taste, sweetness is almost always caused by a type of simple sugar such as glucose or fructose, or disaccharides such as sucrose, a molecule combining glucose and fructose.[73] Complex carbohydrates are long chains and thus do not have the sweet taste. Artificial sweeteners such as sucralose are used to mimic the sugar molecule, creating the sensation of sweet, without the calories. Other types of sugar include raw sugar, which is known for its amber color, as it is unprocessed. As sugar is vital for energy and survival, the taste of sugar is pleasant.
Sourness is caused by the taste of acids, such as vinegar in alcoholic beverages. Sour foods include citrus, specifically lemons, limes, and to a lesser degree oranges. Sour is evolutionarily significant as it is a sign for a food that may have gone rancid due to bacteria.[75] Many foods, however, are slightly acidic, and help stimulate the taste buds and enhance flavor.
The Mayo Clinic Diet is designed to help you lose up to 6 to 10 pounds (2.7 to 4.5 kilograms) during the initial two-week phase. After that, you transition into the second phase, where you continue to lose 1 to 2 pounds (0.5 to 1 kilogram) a week until you reach your goal weight. By continuing the lifelong habits that you've learned, you can then maintain your goal weight for the rest of your life.
Some countries list a legal definition of food, often referring them with the word foodstuff. These countries list food as any item that is to be processed, partially processed, or unprocessed for consumption. The listing of items included as food include any substance intended to be, or reasonably expected to be, ingested by humans. In addition to these foodstuffs, drink, chewing gum, water, or other items processed into said food items are part of the legal definition of food.

According to Canadian Food and Drug Regulations, wine in Canada is an alcoholic drink that is produced by the complete or partial alcoholic fermentation of fresh grapes, grape must, products derived solely from fresh grapes, or any combination of them. There are many materials added during the course of the manufacture, such as yeast, concentrated grape juice, dextrose, fructose, glucose or glucose solids, invert sugar, sugar, or aqueous solutions. Calcium sulphate in such quantity that the content of soluble sulphates in the finished wine shall not exceed 0.2 per cent weight by volume calculated as potassium sulphate. Calcium carbonate in such quantity that the content of tartaric acid in the finished wine shall not be less than 0.15 per cent weight by volume. Also, sulphurous acid, including salts thereof, in such quantity that its content in the finished wine shall not exceed 70 parts per million in the free state, or 350 parts per million in the combined state, calculated as sulphur dioxide. Caramel, amylase and pectinase at a maximum level of use consistent with good manufacturing practice. Brandy, fruit spirit or alcohol derived from the alcoholic fermentation of a food source distilled to not less than 94 per cent alcohol by volume.[clarification needed] Prior to final filtration may be treated with a strongly acid cation exchange resin in the sodium ion form, or a weakly basic anion exchange resin in the hydroxyl ion form.[83]

Q: php automatically adds slashes to quotes All I'm trying to do is to get xml file content, show is in the textarea and update the file content if the for is submited. I use this code:
$fname = "../data.xml";

if (isset($_POST["update"])) {
 $content = $_POST["update"];
 $fhandle = fopen($fname,"w");
 fwrite($fhandle,$content);
}

$fhandle = fopen($fname,"r");
$content = fread($fhandle,filesize($fname));

fclose($fhandle);

The content is updated when I press submit but it adds slashes to quotes. For example this code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

becomes:
<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>

and if I re-submit:
<?xml version=\\"1.0\\" encoding=\\"utf-8\\"?>

Can anyone please tell what am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

A: This is an issue with Magic Quotes, we ran into it as well. Use stripslashes() on the POST input before doing anything with it.

A: Disable magic_quotes_gpc from php.ini.

A: Magic Quotes should always be disabled; it's a security risk.
If you can't edit the config, or if you putting the code on multiple servers with different settings that can't be changed, you need the code to check for it. This example was found here --> http://php.robm.me.uk/#toc-MagicQuotes
function remove_magic_quotes($array) {
    foreach ($array as $k => $v) {
        if (is_array($v)) {
            $array[$k] = remove_magic_quotes($v);
        } else {
            $array[$k] = stripslashes($v);
        }
    }
    return $array;
}
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
    $_GET    = remove_magic_quotes($_GET);
    $_POST   = remove_magic_quotes($_POST);
    $_COOKIE = remove_magic_quotes($_COOKIE);
}

A: This is probably due to Magic Quotes. Try to disable or remove them.

A: You can also disable magic quotes by adding this line to your .htaccess file:
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off

A: Take a look at stripslashes()


Prue Leith has spoken openly about the tragic loss of her brother, revealing he died in agony because doctors were afraid of hastening his death.
The Great British Bake Off judge said her brother David "suffered months of agony and a horrific death from bone cancer" because doctors wouldn't give him more morphine.
"David's doctors would not give him enough morphine 'for fear he'd become addicted', she said in support of retired university lecturer Noel Conway, 68, who suffers from motor neurone disease is currently appealing the ban on assisted dying in the UK at the Court of Appeals.
David, who worked in the Royal Air Force and his sister's company Good Food before basing himself in South Africa, died in 2012 aged 74.
He became ill during a visit to England to see his son and daughter but claimed he had just hurt his back by moving a fridge.
After some persuasion he visited a doctor and was diagnosed with bone cancer.
He became too ill to travel home and eventually, in desperation he refused antibiotics so the pneumonia brought on by his condition would kill him.
Prue, 78, decided to share Paul's story in support of Dignity in Dying, the campaign group that is backing Noel's case.
Sir Patrick Stewart also voiced his support for Noel, citing the experiences of a "dear friend" who took her own life after a battle with cancer.
"She attempted to end her own life with an overdose of medication before finally resorting to suffocating herself with a plastic bag. How can we continue to support the status quo when it forces dying people to resort to such drastic measures?" he said.

Written by: Chris Sebela
47 and his handler, Diana Burnwood, are a team responsible for some of the most ruthless, efficient and untraceable assassinations across the globe. But before they were operatives of the shadowy International Contracts Association, 47 and Burnwood were on their own separate paths in life — streets lined with blood, bullets and revenge. As 14-year-old Diana begins a mission to track down the people who killed her parents, the one responsible, 47, is struggling to free himself and his brother, 6, from the mysterious Institute which has bred them as killers since they were kids. With a story that stretches from the heartland of America to the Berlin Wall, Lone Wolves will trace the birth of the legendary Hitman and the secret past of the woman behind him who pulls the string and knows just how hard taking a life truly is.
As they travel across the globe on another mission, Subject 47 and his brother 6 begin to assemble their plan of attack against the Institute that made them who they are. A war on both their surrogate family of fellow subjects and a potential future spent as living weapons under someone else's control. While Diana Burnwood's new life in London has begun to blossom and her secret vendetta finds a new sponsor in the form of a crime boss all too eager to teach her new protege a few tricks how to get her hands dirty.
It's graduation day. Diana Burnwood struggles to balance her two lives, her psychotic mentor and her conscience as she prepares to make the first kill on her road to avenging her parents. While Agent 47 and his brother 6 make their move to escape the Institute and end up changing their lives and world history forever in one bloody blow.
Since taking control of her mentor's criminal operation, Diana Burnwood's life has blossomed into a world of possibilities she could only ever dream of. As her quest for revenge nears completion, her targets begin to fight back with an unlikely ally. Meanwhile, 47, recaptured by The Institute after his attack, goes underground with the remaining Subjects and Dr. Ort-Meyer. Having sacrificed his freedom and his humanity, 47 takes his first steps onto the road to becoming the Hitman.
Art By: Ariel Medel
As the only remaining survivor of the Institute, 47's role as Dr. Ort-Meyer's weapon is put to use one last time on an impossible contract against a shadowy foe who controls their fates. The blowback against Diana pushes her to finally track down the last name on her list, triggering a series of disasters that sets her on her collision course with the Hitman.
Diana Burnwood has settled into her new role as a handler for the International Contract Agency, learning the ropes of her job, helping arrange hits on high-profile targets. Agent 47, finally free of the Institute, begins to build a life as a freelance assassin. When Diana is tasked with assisting her hitman in taking out the same target as 47 has been hired to kill, these two lives will finally intersect in an explosive finale.

In the distant future, the human body is a temporary and interchangeable commodity - if you can pay. For the interstellar elite, bodies are swapped out and reused without a second thought. You never grow old; you never die. However, some bodies are more temporary than others ... Takeshi Kovacs was once a member of the Envoy Corps, stormtroopers for the Interstellar Earth Protectorate, ultra-lethal adepts in switching bodies across the stars. While he served, he was known by a variety of names--Mamba Lev, One Hand Rending, the Icepick--all testament to his capacity for rapid response and extreme violence in whatever flesh he wore. Now he's out of the service and trying to live a different life. But the Protectorate hasn't changed its spots, no matter what world Kovacs drifts to, and with that old combat rage still burning deep inside him, will he ever really be able to walk away? Created by Richard K. Morgan, Altered Carbon was previously adapted as a Netflix television series. This original graphic novel, written by Rik Hoskin (Brandon Sanderson's White Sand/Pierce Brown's Red Rising, expands upon the Altered Carbon universe.
Charlaine Harris' Cemetery Girl Omnibus Vol #1
Written by: Charlaine Harris, Christopher Golden
Art By: Don Kramer
Both volumes are collected here for the very first time and including a special preview of the third and final chapter of this series! In Book One: The Pretenders: She has made the cemetery her home, living in a crypt and avoiding human contact. But Calexa can't hide from the dead—and because she can see spirits, they can't hide from her. Then one night, Calexa spies a group of teenagers vandalizing a grave—and watches in horror as they commit murder. As the victim's spirit rises from her body, it flows into Calexa, overwhelming her mind with visions and memories not her own. Now Calexa must make a decision: continue to hide to protect herself—or come forward to bring justice to the sad spirit who has reached out to her for help... In Book Two: The Inheritance: Despite her self-imposed isolation, Calexa's ability to see spirits—and the memories she receives from them—guarantees she'll never be alone, even among the deceased. The only living people she allows herself to interact with are Kelner, the cemetery's cantankerous caretaker, and Lucinda Cameron, an elderly woman who lives in an old Victorian house across the street. With their friendship, Calexa has regained a link to the world beyond tombstones and mausoleums. Until the night she witnesses a murder that shatters her life—a life now under a police microscope—as their investigation threatens to uncover Calexa's true identity...
Charlaine Harris' Cemetery Girl Vol #3
Art By: Geraldo Borges
They call her the Ghost of Dunhill Cemetery, but most people think "the Cemetery Girl" is just a story. In some ways, that's true. Her chosen name is Calexa Rose Dunhill, but she doesn't know her real name. When she first arrived here, all she knew was that someone had tried to murder her, dumped her body, and left her for dead. Calexa has been hiding out, afraid to seek out her true identity in fear that her would-be murderer would find her and finish the job. And someone is searching for her…a man named Salazar, who holds the key that will unlock the secrets of Calexa's past. Calexa has new secrets as well—including the fact that she was murdered…she did die, if only for a moment. And in that moment, something changed inside her. Now, if someone dies near her, their spirit is drawn to Calexa, drawn into her. It has happened twice before, but now—as her worst fears come true and there are killers on her trail—the third ghost to take up residence in Calexa's soul will change everything and bring the Cemetery Girl trilogy to its shocking conclusion!

New Delhi, Apr 13: The BJP on Saturday lashed out at Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan for trying to spread the name 'Bajrang Ali' and said such an attempt nakedly displays disrespect to both Hinduism and Islam.
"What kind of language is this....Today is Ram Navami and an occasion to greet each other. Azam Khan has used the name 'Bajrang Ali'. This shows Azam Khan wants to create communal tension in the country," BJP leader and former Union Minister Shahnawaz Hussain told reporters here.
He said Muslim organisations like Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind should take cognizance of the statement of Azam Khan and speak out against it.
"They speak on every issue, but why they are silent on Azam Khan's statement. He is putting Bajrang name in from Hazrat Ali and also suffixing Ali for Bajrang Bali. This is an insult to both the religions," he said.
people themselves. "In the first phase of polling itself, it has been clear that the BJP has done well. In the first phase of polls (April 11) one thing is certain there is a strong favourable mood in favour of Narendra Modi," he claimed.
Mr Hussain said the first phase of polling has shown that people are staying away from meeting Samajwadi and Congress workers on the polling day.
"Now, do we send people to their tables (of polling agents)," he remarked. "People have made up their mind to make Narendra Modi the country's Prime Minister yet again," he said adding the BJP is getting support from all sections of people.
Mr Hussain also said that most personal attack against Prime Minister Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah are being made by various opposition leaders, are all coming at the "behest of Congress president Rahul Gandhi".
But, he claimed, "all answers to these personal attack will be given by the people in the form of votes during elections".
He said Congress is simply banking on the rhetoric based on falsehood and an attempt to create confusion.

Data Recording, Statistical Analyses, GIS & Computer Simulation
Archaeologists rely on computer science to provide the tools needed to efficiently store, manipulate, analyze, display, and interpret large amounts of data. For example, archaeologists routinely use computers to record field and laboratory observations and statistical analyses to discern meaningful data patterns. But that's not all:
Geographic information systems, or GIS, are computer software programs that allow archaeologists to summarize and visually display geographic and locational information—for example, the distribution of sites on the landscape or the distribution of cultural features within an individual site.
Site distributions through time, Mesa Verde region study area, Village Ecodynamics Project.
GIS is an important tool in archaeological computer simulations that attempt to reconstruct and/or predict the behavior of human systems in the past—for example, ancestral Pueblo Indian society in the American Southwest.
In such simulations, researchers create "virtual" groups of people and place them on computer-generated, geographically accurate landscapes. They then introduce and manipulate a number of variables—population size, precipitation levels, soil depletion, availability of wild resources, and so on—to see how the groups respond.
How does changing one or more environmental variables cause people's behavior to change? How does human behavior modify the environment? What human behaviors lead to group success? To failure? Archaeologists can then compare the results of the computer simulations with actual archaeological evidence observed in the field.
Computer simulation (sometimes called computer modeling) is one of the newest and most innovative tools in archaeological research today.
Innovation in Archaeology: The Village Ecodynamics Project
The Village Ecodynamics Project (VEP) is an excellent example of how computer simulation allows researchers to manipulate extremely large and complex data sets in ways not conceived of only a generation ago.
A collaboration of archaeologists and other scientists from institutions around the country (including Crow Canyon), the VEP has shed new light on the Pueblo past, demonstrated the potential of this new technology, and opened up exciting new avenues for future research. Learn more about the VEP.

The Ojinaga Cut is a parcel of land between Ojinaga, Chihuahua, and Presidio, Texas, that gave rise to an international border dispute between the United States and Mexico when the Rio Grande (Río Bravo del Norte) changed course.

The situation was similar to the better known Chamizal dispute between El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua. The Ojinaga conflict was resolved by the Boundary Treaty of 1970. The U.S. ceded  and Mexico ceded . The land that changed possession became known as the Ojinaga Cut.

Q: Czes Kosniowski: Homeomorphic topological spaces $S^{1}\times I / \sim$ and $D^{2}$ Let $X=S^1\times I$ where $S^1\subset \mathbb{C}$ and $I=[0,1]\subset \mathbb{R}$ also define the equivalence relation ~ by $(x,t)$~$(y,s)$ if and only if $xt=ys$.
Prove that $X$/~ is homeomorphic to the unit disc $D^2=\{x\in \mathbb{R^2}: |x|\le1\}=\{x\in \mathbb{C}: |x|\le1\}$ with the induced topology.
Any hints would be appreciated.

A: Consider the function $f\colon S^1 \times I \to D^2$ defined by $f(x, t) = xt$. Show $f(x, t) = f(y, s)$ iff the pairs are equivalent, so $f$ induces a function on the quotient space
$$\bar{f}\colon (S^1 \times I)/\sim \to D^2 $$
Now show that this function is a homeomorphism.

Colette Deblé est une peintre française née le 8 janvier 1944 à Coucy-lès-Eppes. Elle vit et travaille à Paris. Elle est surtout connue pour ses essais plastiques visuels, dans lesquels elle effectue un travail de citation et de représentation des femmes. Ses questions sur le visible l'ont amenée à travailler et à publier avec des philosophes et poètes, parmi eux Jean-Joseph Goux, Jacques Derrida, Joachim Sartorius  et Michel Butor.

Biographie
Colette Deblé fait ses études à l'École des Beaux-Arts de Reims et à l'École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris. En parallèle, elle commence à travailler comme maquettiste, puis comme auteur à partir des années 1970 ; elle écrit et illustre des livres pour enfants. En 1973, elle publie son premier ouvrage, L'Édit, le Dix, le Dit, avec un texte de Bernard Noël.

Elle expose ses premières œuvres dès 1976. Cette première phase de création est notamment marquée par un travail qu'elle intitule « boîtes-fenêtre », dans lesquelles elle modifie le regard, réinterprétant les notions d'extérieur et d'intérieur. Dans les années 1980, elle réalise ce qu'elle nomme des « portraits schizo-bigleux », qui décomposent la perception, avant de jouer avec la matière, transformant la vue par des coulures qui traversent ses peintures.

À partir de 1990, Colette Deblé entame une œuvre de longue haleine : un essai plastique autour de la représentation des femmes à travers une série de citations artistiques. Elle interroge ainsi la place de la femme dans l'histoire et dans l'art et souligne l'importance de la filiation. Par les dessins au lavis et par des grandes silhouettes de femmes découpées dans de grandes toiles peintes, Colette Deblé explore une nouvelle vision du féminin.

Ses œuvres sont l'objet de nombreuses expositions dans le monde. Une peinture découpée est exposée de manière permanente à la Gemäldegalerie de Dessau (Allemagne).

Œuvres
À partir de 1990, Colette Deblé décrit son projet artistique en ces termes :L'œuvre de Colette Deblé porte sur la représentation des femmes dans l'histoire de l'art. Colette Deblé extrait des œuvres d'art, sous forme de silhouette, les femmes qui y sont représentées. Par ce biais, elle pose la question de la filiation, « données à voir une seconde fois, une renaissance » : le procédé libère les apparitions féminines de leur mise en scène originale et des fonctions sociales qui y sont associées. Ainsi, Colette Deblé veut montrer « ce qui reste de toutes celles qui furent là et sans qui nous ne serions pas là ».

Dans son essai sur les lavis de Colette Deblé, Jacques Derrida souligne que la manière de citer de Colette Deblé se distingue de la citation textuelle par le fait que l'artiste « donne naissance à un autre corps » parce qu'elle ne se limite pas à reprendre l'original. Margarete Zimmermann argumente, à son tour, que la focalisation sur la représentation de personnages féminins permet à Colette Deblé de créer une nouvelle Cité des Dames, inspirée de celle de Christine de Pizan, femme de lettres médiévale que Colette Deblé a d'ailleurs représenté  dans une série de lavis.

L'œuvre de Colette Deblé se compose d'essais plastiques visuels que l'on peut présenter en cinq catégories :

L'œuvre de jeunesse
Au début de son œuvre, Colette Deblé crée la série des boîtes-fenêtre et les peintures en coulure. Dans les deux cas, la vue sur le motif est obstruée, dans le premier cas par des grilles et les châssis des fenêtres, dans le second par une pluie de coulures qui créent un scintillement de couleurs. Les femmes ont déjà une place prépondérante dans cette première phase de l'œuvre, soit sous la forme de représentations de femmes camouflées derrière les fenêtres, soit comme autoportraits dans lesquels l'artiste tourne le dos au spectateur.

Les lavis
Technique privilégiée par Colette Deblé à partir des années 1990, le lavis permet à l'artiste d'approfondir son travail de citation. Elle sort les corps de femmes d'œuvres d'art de toutes époques et de toutes civilisations, pour les recréer dans des dessins à l'encre. Elle y élimine tout décor. Elle ne retient que les membres du corps, qui ainsi apparaissent parfois incomplets ou lacunaires. De l'encre noire, Colette Deblé passe peu à peu à la couleur, d'abord monochrome puis polychrome, sans pour autant conserver les couleurs de ses modèles. Elle cherche ainsi à susciter une nouvelle expérience visuelle chez le spectateur.

Livres d'artiste
Dès les années 1970, Colette Deblé a coopéré avec des écrivains comme Michel Butor, Jacques Henric, Bernard Noël, Joachim Sartorius, et construit une œuvre où le texte est le plus souvent accompagné de lavis et de dessins. Dans ses livres, Colette Deblé prend soin de la mise en page, faisant dialoguer image et texte, garantissant une grande lisibilité de l'écrit. Beaucoup de ses livres d'artiste se présentent sous une forme créative : ainsi Pléiades, de Suzanne Auerbach, peint par Colette Deblé, est un livre triangulaire qui se déplie en étoile à six branches.

Les peauésies de l'Adour prennent dans ce contexte un rôle singulier : il s'agit de manuscrits inédits, souvent uniques ou qui n'existent qu'en trois ou douze exemplaires, et qui se composent d'une grande feuille semi-transparente de 120 x 80 cm, pliée en huit pour obtenir des cahiers de 30 x 40 cm. Sur la feuille, l'artiste produit des citations artistiques de représentations de femmes en lavis, accompagnées des textes de poètes, écrivains ou philosophes en langues diverses, du suédois avec Birgitta Trotzig, à l'allemand avec Joachim Sartorius en passant par l'arabe avec Chawki Abdelamir ou l'hébreu avec Israël Eliraz.

Peintures découpées
À partir de la fin des années 1990, Colette Deblé réalise ses premières peintures de femmes en grand format. Il s'agit de toiles découpées, en suivant la forme de silhouettes féminines, sans châssis et sans cadre, peintes de manière mono- ou bichrome. Colette Deblé ajoute aux pigments des paillettes qui créent une structure rugueuse et scintillante. Les peintures découpées atteignent souvent une longueur d'environ deux mètres et sont présentées, selon les recommandations de l'artiste, à même le mur. Les grandes dimensions et l'exposition libre des silhouettes conduit Jean-Joseph Goux à mentionner la « sacralité » de telles représentations. L'artiste cherche ainsi à créer des silhouettes féminines qui reprennent des représentations à travers les époques et les pays. Libérées, ces silhouettes semblent ainsi flotter ou s'envoler à travers l'espace de l'exposition.

Boîtes
À côté des boîtes-fenêtres de son œuvre de jeunesse, Colette Deblé continue à produire des boîtes qui contiennent « des trésors d'enfance, petits animaux, rubans, fleurs, couleurs et des lavis qui prolongent l'essai plastique ». Elle se sert dans la plupart des cas de boîtes de chocolat qu'elle remplit avec des objets divers et qu'elle referme avec un verre. Les éléments divers entrent ainsi en dialogue dans une boîte qui fait l'office de cadrage et ouvre une fenêtre à un univers illogique dont la signification doit être élucidée par le spectateur .

Well we've come to the end of the book.
This year for Advent – and into Christmas, some friends and I have been using Advent and Christmas Wisdom from Henri J. M. Nouwen.
This is not your usual Advent book. There is no following the birth narratives and prophecies, no gradual approach to Bethlehem, but rather a journey in to ourselves. We have had the chance to consider where our lives are at.
Along the way, we have paused to consider not missing God in the small things, because we're waiting for the Big Thing; waiting – for God and his time and place; being prepared to go to the lonely place; allowing God to paint our hearts; considering not just what we want to be rid of from our lives, but what things we are going to cling on to; thinking who we are called to support; finding our worth in God, rather than 'things'; being careful about judging others; allowing our lives to be an immaculate space for God to take on human flesh; waiting for God to do his New Thing; keeping our eyes on Jesus; focussing on nothing other than the love of God; listening – really listening; those who affirm, stretch and support us; seeing God in those around us; allowing God "in", to love us; belonging to God; laying down power; being ready; being known by God; seeing through the eyes of love; being part of community; giving and receiving forgiveness; responding to God's invitation; God coming, as promised; surrendering ourselves to God's future; reaching out to God; sitting at God's feet; giving of self; travelling God's way; not to always over-intellectualise, but sometimes to just stand and watch and wait; choosing gratitude for what we have; God's welcome to us all; living generously; letting God have what we've got – however small and useless we think it is; and inviting God to cleanse and renew us.
For me the most powerful was seeing through the eyes of love – learning to look at people with love, seeing the good things in them. I have also had the opportunity to allow God to touch some painful parts in me, and bring some peace. For those insights I give thanks.
Thank you to them all. Thank you to all who've read this blog, and joined in with #adventbookclub on Twitter. I hope you've enjoyed the ride, and that God has blessed, challenged, encouraged and comforted you on your journey. May you know his hope, peace, love and presence through the rest of the year.
My blog will continue in it's usual, rest of the year format, of blogging on each Sunday's lectionary readings. Do join me for that if you want to continue to explore God's word.
Pam, thanks so much for inspiring and convening #adventbookclub, especially thanks for your faithfulness from someone who did what she could when she could. I've gained enormously from reading your reflections and those of others, it's been a pleasure to share Advent with thoughtful, lovely, humans!
It's truly been my pleasure.


I had no idea that acupuncture was so helpful to stroke victims. After the stroke was the first time I was presented with the possibility of getting acupuncture, and I was a bit skeptical. I thought acupuncture was just used to relieve pain and stress. Soon after my first few sessions, I learned that acupuncture is used to treat close to any condition of the body, and I saw its results. My progress and rehabilitation as well as my speech and left arm motor skills accelerated, and each week I saw tangible improvement. The doctors were also able to help me through the stroke rehabilitation process and encourage me in my efforts. I was able to ask questions about my condition since they were well-informed and knowledgeable in the field. Looking back, I consider acupuncture as a large determiner, along with therapy, to my rapid and steady improvement. Although it is hard to quantify its total impact, I'm very grateful to have gone to acupuncture while in the rehabilitation process.

Economy Opinion
Neoliberalism for Beginners
November 4, 2019 November 4, 2019 Elias Jaua Milano	Chile, crriticism, economic policy, Ecuador, Neoliberalism, Venezuela
These days we all talk about the rebellion that the peoples of the continent lead against neoliberalism. It is necessary to know what the main policies of this model are and their consequences for the peoples that moves them to explosive insurgency.
By Elías Jaua Milano
The neoliberal model has its theoretical support in the monetarist theses of the American economist Milton Friedman, from which policies are developed in the field of fiscal discipline with the aim of stabilizing macroeconomic indicators (deficit, inflation, etc); of state deregulation to favor the liberation of the market, especially the financial and commercial market; transfer of assets and public powers to the private sector; the reduction of social and productive investment, as well as the elimination of any type of subsidy to the most vulnerable sectors.
The ultimate goal is to reduce the money supply in the hands of people to achieve macroeconomic stability and the expansion of the financial and commercial sectors in the context of a globalizing economy. This goal translates for the majority of the population into massive layoffs of formal jobs and their move towards informal occupations, a decrease in the purchasing power and exclusion from necessary consumption of the great working majorities, and the limitation of access to the enjoyment of fundamental rights such as education and health.
RELATED CONTENT: Agony and Death of Neoliberalism in Latin America
The population subject to these types of policies is forced to work in conditions of overexploitation and systematically borrow to maintain minimum living conditions, while, through alienation processes, accept that social exclusion is part of nature.
However, as the model advances in the privatization of all aspects of social life, containment dikes are cracked and the delivery of the people occurs, as we are seeing with admiration in the streets of our sister Republic of Chile and in the vote of the Argentine people last Sunday, October 27 of this year 2019.
Against this model, we Bolivarians under the leadership of our Comandante Chávez, in order to programmatically direct the popular and military, anti-neoliberal rebellions which we starred between 1989 and 1992, we raised the "Bolivarian Alternative Agenda" as a model to curb consolidation of Neoliberalism in Venezuela.
RELATED CONTENT: Whitewashing Neoliberal Repression in Chile and Ecuador
The programmatic bases of the model proposed by Chavez in 1997, establish that the purpose of our economic policies pursues the satisfaction of the basic needs of human beings, food, health, education, housing, clothing, recreation. In this regard we move forward, as never before in our history, in the first decade of this 21st century. Our people know it because they lived it.
How was it achieved? Recovering the role of the State so that, together with the traditional private sector and the subjects of the nascent popular economy, and within the framework of strategic planning, national production will rise, based on the democratization of credit policies and other support, and national consumption, through the sustained recovery of the purchasing power of the working people and the inclusion of historically marginalized sectors. Production and consumption were the fundamental levers for the period of greatest economic growth with the highest levels of social inclusion recorded in Venezuela.
Today, in the face of the popular anti-neoliberal offensive, it is necessary to review our programmatic foundations and identify the keys, in this moment, so that our people and the peoples of Our America can return the path of building a humanly gratifying society. That is the biggest and most urgent challenge of the popular democratic currents that are in battle in our region. With Cristina Fernández, we say Neoliberalism, never again!
