The right audience is more important than a big audience
– April 6, 2017
In an article published by Adobe's CMO, former brand manager of Procter & Gamble's Tide, Todd Morris said many marketers "think they're using data, but they're really at step one of a 10-step process." He explained that in the early '90s, P&G held a belief that mass marketing and owning large segments of consumers was critical to their success. However, new data analytics have proven this theory wrong. In fact, he now tells us that 80% of all sales from new consumer package goods come from 2.5% of all shoppers. We are now finding that the right audience is more important than a big audience. Over time, and with careful testing, Big Data is the secret to identifying these hyper-targeted audiences and their "look-alikes" with great accuracy.
This is probably why P&G moved toward a highly targeted digital-first strategy as early as 2013. The brand publicly committed to spending 35% or more of their $7.2 billion in marketing outlays that year on targeted digital media, with a long-term goal of 70% going to programmatic media. Less than two years following this strategy, the company said it would cut back because, as P&G's Morris explained, "We targeted too much, and we went too narrow, and now we're looking at: What is the best way to get the most reach but also the right precision?"
P&G quickly learned that targeted media is also expensive media, and offers fewer options for the emotional impact delivered from sight, sound and motion. During the course of tracking their results, P&G began moderating their buy to bring more traditional television back into their media mix.
Although P&G has stumbled as an early mover — in fact, adding to the woes that the retail titan has been facing in its sluggish core business — the digital leaders has voiced no regrets for moving ahead of the market. As they say, "It's impossible to steer a boat that's not moving at all." Now P&G is miles ahead of its competitors in understanding this new wave of consumerism.

Hi! everyone. Good morning. need a little help. i basically have 2 animated spheres intersecting. and i need to emit particles where these 2 spheres meet/ intersect. so like the middle part where there 2 bodies meet.
I think there may be a script that will do that already.
really? which one? I cant find it.


Film festivals are often criticized for giving black storytelling short shrift, but the TIFF lineup offers eight features from seven countries.
The official lineup also includes CBS's "S.W.A.T." and IFC's "Stan Against Evil," as well as the festival's annual Independent Pilot Competition.
A lot could change about our perception of the year in cinema over the next few months.
The show's creators will discuss the HBO series, Lenny Letter and the highs and lows of their career with America Ferrera.
The Tribeca Film Festival announced today the lineup for its popular Storyscapes and Virtual Reality Arcade exhibitions.
The comedian cited "The Stepford Wives" as inspiration for his social commentary thriller in a Q & A after a secret Sundance screening.
After over 50 individuals voted in IndieWire's annual Sundance Critics Poll, these are their picks for the top performances of the festival.
The queer films, filmmakers, and talent everyone will be talking about in 2017.


Hey there folks! Welcome to my Team Fortress 2 'Scattergun' build. This is still an ongoing project so remember to check back every so often if you'd like to see the finished product.
Feel free to post any questions or comments at the bottom of the page. If you're interested in commissioning a prop feel free to e-mail me at hvdprops@gmail.com or check out my shop on Etsy here. I hope you enjoy this build as much as I have so far; Let's get to it!
I began this prop a little differently than I have in the past, choosing to create a set of blueprints to work from. Using orthographic views I took from the SDK model viewer Valve offers I was able to draw up an accurate set of plans for this gun detailing the measurements and dimensions of the various pieces of this gun. Using pictures of the scout holding the gun I estimated it's length to be about 26 inches long giving me a base to work from when calculating the measurements.
A friend and former co-worker of mine invited me over to use some of his tools to begin cutting the pieces I need. Here I am grinding the inside of the charging handle portion of the gun. I am cutting the piece out of half inch think MDF.
Here is a view of my pretty poor attempt at using a jigsaw. It is times like these I wish I had a router. Or even a jigsaw of my own.
Here is the rough shape cut from the sheet of MDF.
Afterward I began work on carving the fore grip out of foam. In an ideal world I would have made this from MDF, however I currently don't have the tools necessary to do that easily, so instead I stuck to my tried and true method of wrapping foam in Wonderflex. I carved this rough shape out of a scrap of foam with a kitchen knife.
Once again due to the limitations of my tools I had to find other ways of carrying out some of the more intricate and precise pieces of this gun. Ideally to create the drum and barrels I would have used PVC, laminated MDF circles, and a drill press, however in this case I was forced to outsource the work to an acrylic fabricator across the street from my apartment. I drew up a set of stencils and plans and handed them over to him. He was able to fashion the pieces I asked for with great precision. Here you can see one of the caps to the drum that has two holes to allow the barrels to fit in. Later on you will see the other 2 pieces and how they assemble.
Here you can see the foam block that will later become the fore grip leaning against the barrel assembly.
In order to route out enough foam for the fore grip to fit snugly against the curved surface of the barrels I used painter's tape to create a flat surface bridging the barrels and then attached a piece of sticky 80 grit sandpaper. I used this to sand out the shape of the barrels from the foam block.
You can see here the smooth 'W' shape that is being routed out of the foam.
Here is a version of the fore grip that has been a fair bit more refined from the original rough shape.
I sketched out the design for the grip section of the gun. This will later be sandwiched between several layers of MDF. You may also notice the inch or so of extension I left on the left side of the pieces. This will later be shaped to fit into a slot that was cut into one of the acrylic discs that fits together to form the drum of the gun.
I created a template from drawing paper that will be used to cut out 2 pieces in order to laminate the grip section and add width.
Here you can see the two piece that resulted form the template above and how they will be attached once refined.
Here I am refining the rough shape of the grip portion.
So here photo depicting how the drum section fits together. I am very content with the way in which I designed those to fit together. It allowed me to work individually with barrel and grip assemblies before having to permanently assemble them.
Here is a section showing the pieces that make up the grip assembly at this point in the build.
At this point I decided to wrap the foam fore grip in Wonderflex.
Here is another view of the Wonderflex. Should you attempt this technique be aware that the heat necessary to mold the Wonderflex can easily melt the foam structure underneath if not done carefully. Also, expect a lumpy and uneven product. Much Apoxie Scult and Bondo will need to be applied before this shape will be finalized.
Completely unrelated to the prop build, here is a picture of the hairs on my hand being caked in dust from sanding.! Pretty neat.
At this point I decided to address the over-cut I made when using the jigsaw to cut out the charging lever.
With the side panels refined I used a generous layer of super glue to attach them to the maid section of the grip assembly.
As you can see, this technique also easily allowed me to later fit in the charging handle.
Here is a mock up of the progress at this point in the build. Certainly starting to see a Scattergun take form!
At this stage I began wondering what materials I could use to fashion the grip panels. I will note here that the original design for the gun uses a solid wood handle that some how fits over a steel core and is capped with a steel plate at the end. Well, as an avid firearm enthusiast I am going to use my artistic license to correct that design and make it so there are two wooden grip panels that sandwich a steel frame. In reality I am confident this (or a solid wood grip) would be used. I decided the two grips would make for a more interesting piece and decided to go that route. Oddly enough the opposite issue arose when later building 'The Ambassador' pistol!
Ultimately I decided that the extra effort of cutting them out of MDF would pay off and also help me to maintain and even thickness throughout the grip assembly. Now for addressing the issue of making sure the grips conform to the trigger housing section.
I decided to roll a snake of Apoxie Sculpt, lay a sheet of cling wrap (one of the most useful things I have come across in regard to Apoxie Sculpt) on the grip/trigger housing section of the gun, and forcibly clamp it to the handle. The extra material will be sanded off.
In this horribly blurry photograph you can see the half sanded first attempt at the Apoxie Sculpt technique beside the other grip panel which has yet to have Apoxie Sculpt applied.
Here is what the grip panel looked like after setting and being removed from the trigger housing.
And here it is half way through being shaped to fit the grip assembly.
After filling in the large seams with Apoxie Sculpt I applied a generous layer of Bondo to the surface of the visible parts of the fore grip in preparation for beginning to mold the final shape.
I forwent addressing the imperfections on the top of the fore grip understanding it would not be seen. This would allow the grip to retain the maximum amount of form fit to the barrel assembly.
Here is a more refined version of the fore grip being held against the barrel assembly.
At this point I clamped both grip panels to the grip assembly in order to begin shaping the grips to the handle.
here you can see a small repair I had to make to the underside of the grip. I am still sanding all three until flush.
In order to get a better idea of the overall imperfection of the fore grip I gave it a coat of primer to create a flat color base in order to see small dents that needed to be filled.
Here you can see the sanding of the initial primer coat. I would go on to repeat this process several times.
Another view of the initial sanding.
Hopping back to the grip assembly, I began to bevel the edges of the grips.
More beveling. At this point I had not yet realized that the bevel carried all the way down the trigger housing to the drum.
Erry' day I'm bevelin'! I am simply using a sanding block for this. One day I'd like to have a router! When I am a big boy, of course.
You can see in the bottom left corner that I intend to take out a curved chunk of the trigger housing.
I did so by taking as much material off as I could with a Dremel and then using a small wad of 120 grit sandpaper to shape it.
Here you can see the extent of the bevel.
At this point I decided to tackle the plate that is used to attach the grip and trigger assemblies to the drip. I used two paint sticks to great a rolling jig and flattened out a layer of Apoxie Sculpt to an even thickness.I used cling wrap to make sure it didn't adhere to cutting board of PVC piece I used to roll it flat.
As you can see here, I then laid the sheet of Apoxie Sculpt onto the disc that accepted the grip assembly an then with a layer of cling wrap seperating it from the drum, forced the grip assembly into the slot. This will also attach the grip assembly to the Apoxie Sculpt and create a better fit between the plate and the grip assembly.
While the plate above set, I used a painter's stick and some leftover Apoxie Sculpt to attach the flat panel that bridges the gap between the barrels. You can also see that I sanded and beveled the stick before attaching it. The curved cut outs toward the drum will later be covered by the front sight assembly.
Here is a picture of the drum and barrel assembly with the fore grip leaning against it.
Another angle of the barrel assembly and fore grip mock up.
Here is the grip assembly with the layer of Apoxie Sculpt setting.
Another shot, this time with the charging lever inserted.
While the Apoxie Sculpt set I got the idea to stamp 'Mann Co.' into the plate. I would later need to remove it, though.
At this point I began cutting out the ejection port from the acrylic drum piece.
I then transitioned to the plate that holds the grip assembly to the drum. I cut the excess off with a Dremel tool then sanded down the edges until they looked the part.
Here you can see how it will lay flat against the ejection port. This piece also required a little Bondo work.
I trimmed enough of the excess material to allow space for glue to be applied to create a strong hold.
Using 1/8th inch styrene sheeting and superglue I fabricated the sights.
I then used a small but of Apoxie Sculpt to add detail to the front sight before gluing them on.
Here is the front portion, ready for priming.
Drum pieces and barrel cluster primed and ready for painting.
I found an amazing paint, Dupli-Color, that I used for the gunmetal base coat.
I painted the wood furniture a dark brown.
These clamps come in handy a lot more for holding things up than they do for holding things together, I've come to realize on this project.
After a few light coats I let the piece dry. Then I returned and very carefully over-sprayed and let gravity cause the paint to fill the crease. Now it comes off as a welded piece!
Speaking of gravity, that is all that is holding this together! I also find it funny that the similarity between the table's color and the ground cause the illusion of a giant Scattergun.
All of the metal pieces have been glued together.
Here is my dry brush setup. Various browns yellows and neutrals. The sponges you see on the left are particularly useful for creating rust, I've found.
Here was an early progress shot. I like to work in layers and generally work from very rough under coats. Lots of rust and metal scratching.
Here was my first application of weathering.
A detail of the drum and receiver showing the heavy metal wear and rust buildup.
What the pieces to the build looked like between painting. I have also added the grip pins; The nubs that will hold the grips in place. These were made from sections of half inch acrylic dowel.
Here is a detail shot of the pins.
I then spent about an hour or so laying up a nice worn hardwood texture. These look truly great in person!
Next I used a half inch paddle but to drill 3 spots for the receiver pins to sit. I only drilled about a quarter inch down.
Finally a cameo from my saw.... my only saw. I used it to cut small slivers of half inch acrylic dowel to act as the receiver pins.
I used acrylic paint to paint the insides of the holes. I then rolled up very small balls of Apoxie Sculpt and placed them into the holes.
I then placed the painted caps and pressed them until they were even against the side of the receiver.
You might have also noticed that I removed the trigger from the receiver. I decided to reshape and and move it back. This made it far more appealing.
I also decided to bevel the edges of the charging lever. This unfortunately required me to repaint it entirely, but it was worth the look.
And a wild Scattergun appears! It was a fun build, and I learned quite a bit!
Look for beauty photos in the near future! And make sure to like my page on facebook for updated on my current projects!
Awesome! I really like it! I wish i had the time to build one myself... How long did it take in total?
Indeed. These can fetch a good price. And i WILL buy it if it's up for sale!
There is a good chance it will be soon. Email me at hvdprops@gmail.com if you want to talk about it.
Are you still making these to sell? I'm interested.
where did you get the acrylic drum from?
I would definitely be interested in one of these too. Avid TF2 player and would love to wow my friends with that beauty.
I just finished my scattergun did it a bit different than you though feel free to check out my blog to see it.

People with high blood levels of lead may show no symptoms, but the condition may cause damage to the nervous system and internal organs. Acute lead poisoning ma


The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are taking additional steps to enhance inspection measures designed to ensure that seafood from the Gulf of Mexico reaching America's tables is safe to eat.
The federal government, in conjunction with Gulf States' regulatory agencies, is playing an active role in ensuring the safety of seafood harvested from federal and state waters. The federal government, led by FDA and NOAA, is taking a multi-pronged approach to ensure that seafood from Gulf waters is not contaminated by oil. The strategy includes precautionary closures, increased seafood testing inspections and a re-opening protocol.
"Closing harvest waters that could be exposed to oil protects the public from potentially contaminated seafood because it keeps the product from entering the food supply," said Dr. Jane Lubchenco, undersecretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and NOAA administrator. "Combining the expertise of NOAA and FDA is the best way to use our scientific abilities to help the American people in this emergency."
The first line of defense is NOAA's fishery area closures, which began May 2 and are adjusted as the spill trajectory changes. FDA has concurred with this approach. The current federal closure of 32 percent of federal waters encompasses areas known to be affected by oil, either on the surface or below the surface, as well as areas projected to be affected by oil in the next 48 - 72 hours. The closed area also includes a five-nautical-mile buffer as a precaution around the known location of oil.
"FDA and NOAA are working together to ensure that seafood from the Gulf is not contaminated with oil," said Margaret Hamburg, M.D., Commissioner of Food and Drugs. "It is important to coordinate seafood surveillance efforts on the water, at the docks and at seafood processors to ensure seafood in the market is safe to eat."
The federal effort to ensure seafood is not contaminated with oil will also include NOAA's dockside sampling of fish products in the Gulf. NOAA will verify that catch was caught outside the closed area using information from vessel monitoring systems that track the location of a vessel or information from on-board observers. If tainted fish are found in dockside sampling, NOAA will notify FDA and state health officials for further action.
FDA operates a mandatory safety program for all fish and fishery products under the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the Public Health Service Act and related federal regulations.
FDA will first target oysters, crab, and shrimp, which due to their biology retain contaminants longer than finfish, for additional sampling. Finfish rapidly metabolize the oil so the risk of exposure is far less than the other seafood species previously mentioned. The sample collection will target primarily seafood processors who buy seafood directly from the harvester. Monitoring this first step in the distribution chain will help to keep any potentially contaminated seafood from consumers.
FDA has also created a focused inspection assignment designed to help seafood processors review their individual source controls to ensure proper documentation and exclusion of any seafood obtained from unknown sources from entering commerce.
"We recognize that the effects of the oil spill continue to grow as oil continues to flow," said Dr. Lubchenco. "As remediation efforts continue, it may be possible to alleviate some of the economic harm caused by the oil spill by reopening previously closed areas. NOAA will reopen areas only if assured that fish products taken from these areas meet FDA standards for public health."
Before the BP oil spill, NOAA operated seafood inspection services in the Gulf - consisting of a handful of personnel - on a fee-for-service basis for the seafood industry.
Today, samples collected as part of NOAA's efforts are sent to the National Seafood Inspection Laboratory in Pascagoula, Miss., where federal and state sensory testing analysts trained to detect certain thresholds of chemicals, which are not normal background odors in seafood, evaluate the catch. Samples are also sent to NOAA's Northwest Fisheries Science Center in Seattle for chemical testing.
From those 18 sampling missions, 640 fish and shrimp samples were processed for either sensory or chemical testing. Of the 640 samples, 118 fish samples were presented to the team of 10 expert assessors for sensory testing in the Pascagoula Laboratory. Four hundred sixteen fish and shrimp samples were sent to NOAA's Seattle testing laboratory for chemical analysis.
"FDA has set up a hotline for reporting seafood safety issues," said Commissioner Hamburg. "We encourage fisherman and consumers to report potential contamination to 1-888-INFO-FDA."
FDA is responsible for ensuring the safety and quality of more than a trillion dollars worth of products that are critical for the survival and well-being of all Americans.


I needed to transfer some holes in two pieces of stainless sheet so I placed the two disks together then to align the holes I used a length of 8mm stainless rod held in the drill chuck and set it in the top hole then clamped it all to the drill press table.
Upon rotating the drill the rod prescribed a circle, I thought there must be bend in the rod so I quickly cut another, same problem.
Argh, my reasonable new drill press is wearing already???. Possible 0.5mm out???
I tightened the chuck with the key in one hole only as I always do then for some reason I tried using all three holes and gradually tightened the chuck.
Bingo, the rod is now perfectly centeredI have never noticed this with the drills before but I guess this is how I will tighten drills in the chuck from now on.
Same has always gone for 3 jaw scroll chucks too. I have no idea why, but even some major precision guys (Stefan gotteswinter) has said the same.
A good 3 yaw scroll chuck will have one pinion marked as the master. Apparently thats the one used at the factory when they grind the jaws, using it usually gives the best runout.
Perhaps you have a bad and or worn chuck? What kind of chuck is it? Who made it?
Could also have been some crud in the jaws too.
I suppose it does make sense.. if you use one key hole to tighten, it could cause the scroll or sleeve to canter over, pulling one or two jaws out of align. And when we're talking about thousands or even tenths run-out, it obviously doesn't take much movement to cause that. Tightening with all three holes maybe evens out the scroll or sleeve, or at takes up any play?
I've caught myself several times chucking up the drill bit on the sides of the jaw. That'll throw you for loop!
I do that ALL the time with my keyless chuck when going to a much smaller bit.
Its a good quality drill press and the chuck is spot on, its only around a year old at max (forgot when I purchased it)No crud, I experimented again and if only using one hole it can tighten very slightly out of centre but by using all three it tightens with no measurable runout.
Sounds to me like your chuck guts have too much slop. If the drill chuck is all nice fitting inside, it should not do that and one hole to tighten will be adequate. Or, maybe is dirty inside and needs to be taken apart and cleaned?
Would pressing the sleeve on a bit tighter potentially take out some of the play?
Or, if tightening the 3 holes gives you no measurable run out, I'm not sure I'd play with it at all! Having no run out on a drill chuck I think is quite an achievement. Small amount of effort, in my opinion.

Australia: Do your rehab – Tribunal does not accept workers pain complaints
Article by Naomi Adams
HBA Legal
Oliver and Comcare 2019 AATA 888.
The Tribunal was required to consider whether a worker had a reasonable excuse for failing to undertake a rehabilitation program.
The Tribunal found in favour of the employer.
Ms Katrina Oliver was employed as an Executive Assistant and suffered an injury to her left wrist on 30 July 2012, while working for the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, which later became DSS. Ms Oliver underwent surgery to her wrist and DSS, as the rehabilitation authority, attempted to rehabilitate her back into the workforce. There was some disagreement between Ms Oliver and DSS over her rehabilitation and Ms Oliver sought relief from the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.
There were three applications before the Tribunal related to Ms Oliver's rehabilitation:
Whether Ms Oliver was obliged to undertake the rehabilitation program which was to commence on 14 July 2016. Ms Oliver argued that she should not be required to undertake the program as it would cause pain and psychological distress.
Ms Oliver did not undertake the rehabilitation program and by Determination dated 4 November 2016, her rights to claim compensation were suspended under section 37(7).
On 30 August 2017, Ms Oliver wrote to DSS and asked for a new rehabilitation program to be provided to her. This request was denied by DSS.
Ms Oliver's central claim was that she suffered unbearable pain when attempting to comply with the rehabilitation program. That pain caused stress and psychological difficulties and she did not believe that she should have to undertake the rehabilitation program.
Video surveillance was presented during the hearing to challenge Ms Oliver's complaints of pain and disability. The surveillance showed Ms Oliver using her left hand to a greater degree than she claimed.
Comcare argued that Ms Oliver did not want to work on Wednesdays and that is why she refused to undertake the rehabilitation program. Comcare presented evidence that Ms Oliver had childcare difficulties on Wednesdays and preferred to stay home and look after her children. Comcare argued that the dramatic increase in pain was highly unlikely. Comcare submitted that because the rehabilitation program was appropriate, and she had no reasonable excuse not to undertake the program, the third appeal should fall away.
The Tribunal called the credit of Ms Oliver and her witnesses into question. There was evidence that Ms Oliver had colluded with witnesses and the Tribunal concluded that the behaviour of Ms Oliver caused the Tribunal to be cautious about accepting her evidence.
The Decision:
The Tribunal spent some time going through the elements in section 37(3) as per the test set out in McGuiness. The Tribunal confirmed that it is mandatory to take these considerations into account when making a determination that a worker should undertake a rehabilitation program under section 37(1). The Tribunal considered the elements afresh and found the program was properly and appropriately made, despite Ms Oliver's resistance to it. The Tribunal concluded that Ms Oliver was obliged to undertake the rehabilitation program created by DSS on the following grounds:
There was no dispute that Ms Oliver had refused to undertake the rehabilitation program. The issue was whether her complaints of pain constituted a reasonable excuse for that failure. Due to her credit being brought into question the Tribunal found that it could not accept Ms Oliver's complaints of pain at face value.
The Tribunal noted that Ms Oliver's evidence should be viewed with caution and so too should the medical evidence that relied on her self reporting of pain. The Tribunal did not believe Ms Oliver's reported levels of pain and concluded that she had no reasonable excuse for her failure to undertake the rehabilitation program.
As the Tribunal concluded that the rehabilitation program was appropriately made, and that Ms Oliver had no reasonable excuse for her failure to undertake the program, they concluded that no new rehabilitation should be made.

It grew more difficult for women to keep their jobs while having children between 1900 and the 1960s. Though mills used to let a woman like Osteen's sister-in-law return from pregnancy leave at her own convenience, supervisors eventually required a leave of absence or gave the job to someone else.
Well did she work in the mill?
Well she did 'till she had one, or maybe two children. But she didn't work much in the mill. And back then, well, they didn't require a woman to work like they did on for years. You know they could work a day or two when they got ready and be outa day or two." They couldn't do that along when I was a working, eight or ten years before I quit. You had to be on your job.
You mean in the earlier days women could come in and out easier.
Would you, usually when you were about to have a child, you would leave off work and then come back and they would let you come in.
Yeah, come back when you got able to go back to work. Stay out and have your baby and then go back to work when you got able.
And it was pretty easy to get back.
Yeah, easy to go right back on your own job. Because they took care of their people.
But you say that changed.
And that changed about eight or ten years before you quit working.
Oh yeah. Yeah, you had to get a leave of absence.
No, you just had to quit and your job was give away.
That's how come me to get to go to work because that Mrs. was pregnant and I got to go to work.
When-can we figure out when that policy started, the leave of absence, or when they changed.
Oh the leaves of absence didn't start down here until about in the fifties.
But, you're talking about . . .
It was after I quit when . . .
Oh lord yes, or maybe into the sixties.


SEOUL, June 24 -- South Korea has bought 200 tonnes of tin ingot from local trading company Hanwha (000880.KS: Quote) via a tender on Wednesday, reissuing another tender to buy 200 tonnes after passing on it, the Public Procurement Service said.
Later on Wednesday, the agency said it had reissued a tender to buy 200 tonnes of tin ingot for September 15 arrival after passing on the tender earlier in the day because of a sole bidder.
The reissued tender for metal of 99.9 percent or better purity would close at 2 p.m. (0500 GMT) on June 29 for arrival at Incheon, the agency said.

Q: Why won't my changes in git go through? All I wanted to do was to add all files.
Now I got directories that are just icons and I never saw something like that before.
I just wanted to add all files. I did
git add *
git commit -m "added"
git push

And now I got this incomprehensible mess.

How can you explain this state?

A: Those gray folders are gitlinks (special entry in the index).
They represent nested git repos: the parent repo only records their SHA1 (that you see beside the grey icons)
You need to decide if you want to:

*

*record them properly as submodules

*ignore them completely

*add their content in your repo (removing their inner .git folder)

Note: don't use git add *: the * is expanded by the shell.
Use git add .

A: You can use code below on cmd, cli, shell or git bash.

*

*git status

*git add -A

*git commit -m "[your commit message]"

*git push origin {your-branch}

example:

*

*git status [enter]

*git add -A [enter]

*git commit -m "new commit" [enter]

*git push origin master [enter]

Don't use "git add .", because it will overwrite all of your code.

"My voice, our equal future" – reimagining a better future
Getting girls to stay in school is a cornerstone for wider development of society. Humana People to People celebrates International Day of the Girl Child on 11 October. In 2020, the theme for the day is "My voice, our equal future".
Humana People to People supports young girls and adolescent girls to access education in the global south. Humana People to People is for equal opportunities between female and male groups. Equal rights and opportunities for girls and boys help all children fulfill their potential.
A report from the UNICEF earlier this year warned that a third of the world's poorest girls, aged between 10 and 18, have never been to school. The report shows, there are 130 million girls who are completely missing out on school.
Widening access to education for girls has a multiplier effect for communities - improving women's chances in employment, delaying marriage, making families more prosperous, and increasing the health of the next generation of children.
For many deeply impoverished families there are some very tough choices about whether they have the resources to send their girls to school. There is a risk that girls are married off at a young age or kept at home to work, which might free up an adult to go and earn an income to get food for the family.
Humana People to People taking action on girls missing out on school
ADPP Mozambique is a co-founder and member of the Humana People to People, a network of 30 not-for-profit organizations present in 45 countries spread across Europe, North America, Africa, Asia and Central and South America.
Between April 2014 - March 2020, ADPP Mozambique implemented a project named Nikhalamo (Girls Stay in School), a word that loosely translates from the local Chuabo language to mean "I am here in school to stay", which affirms girls' intention to stay in school.
Nikhalamo project was designed to address the various barriers that hamper primary school completion and transition to secondary schools among vulnerable girls in the district of Namacurra, Zambezia Province of Mozambique.
The project supported girls to access education by availing Community Block Grants which promoted enrollment of girls, improving the learning and sanitary environments at the local schools, strengthening life skills among young girls, and mobilizing the community members to support the education of the girls through awareness raising activities and early childhood development activities.
The project reached out to 5,878 girls aged 10-17 years. It covered in 23 primary and 3 secondary schools from and an estimated 15,000 community members.
Key outcome of Nikhalamo project in 2019 were:
76 primary and secondary school teachers trained in gender and child-protection for continued delivery of gender-sensitive and child centred pedagogy;
130 school council members trained on gender and child protection for an enabling, gender sensitive and safe environment for learning;
Restored vulnerable girls' dignity during menstruation through distributing 2,900 reusable and 1,500 disposable sanitary pads;
Constructed 14 separate latrines and 5 community preschools;
Implemented 30 after school clubs, 7 science, mathematics and technology clubs, 26 reading circles and 26 WASH (Water, Sanitation, Health and Hygiene) clubs;
HIV/AIDS prevention advice and age appropriate sexual reproductive health rights teachings;
Awareness campaign for girls and boys on the negative consequences of child and forced marriages, as well as the dangers of teenage pregnancies and how to avoid them;
Gender norms sessions reached 5,100 women and men with key messages on non-harmful gender norms to promote equality in the home.
The project provided a second chance to girls and young women who wanted to complete their primary or secondary education or who wanted to acquire livelihood skills. The special focus on vulnerable girls completing upper primary school and transitioning to lower secondary school was key in breaking traditional norms and practices of early forced marriages.
A key component of the project was on strengthening the girls' academic performance and life skills through promoting a strong reading culture, both in school and at home.
Nikhalamo was implemented through close collaboration with education authorities and local communities. The synergy creation has meant better retention of girls in schools and that issues of keeping girls out of the learning process were addressed by integrating government involvement as well as local leadership structures.

Dry, chapped hands are one of the most common winter skin woes. Not only can they crack, peel, and bleed, when your skin barrier is compromised, eczema, psoriasis, and other skin conditions can worsen. Here's how to keep your hands healthy and moisturized during the cold winter months.
If it's cold enough to wear a hat, it's definitely cold enough to slip on a pair of gloves . Invest in a pair of cashmere or wool-lined leather gloves, which tend to be more effective at blocking wind and keeping hands warm. Building a snowman or shoveling your walkway? Opt for a water-resistant pair. You should don a pair of rubber gloves when washing dishes or cleaning year round, but it's especially important in the winter, says Dr. Fusco, MD, board-certified dermatologist of Wexler Dermatology in New York City.
Dr. Fusco encourages patients to keep a tube of moisturizer everywhere—your desk drawer, handbag, kitchen counter, bedside, glove compartment, etc. "Repeated moisturizing through the day nourishes, heals, and protects skin," she says. Try Hydra.Nourish soothe your skin, your soul while delivering a burst of serious nourishment that repairs dry parched skin.

Iranians are crying out for regime change, not nuclear power | View
by Iranian Journalist
While envoys from Western countries were busy expressing concerns about Iranian nuclear and ballistic missile programs at the 76th UN General Assembly session for countering WMDs (weapons of mass destruction), Mohammad Eslami, head of the regime's Atomic Energy Organization, announced on Saturday that Iran has amassed more than 120 kilograms of 20 per cent enriched uranium.
With an eye on the IAEA Board of Governors meeting in Geneva, Tehran sent signals in early September that brought a sigh of relief to Western capitals. Mohammad Eslami had invited IAEA chief Rafael Grossi to Tehran, promising Iran would allow IAEA inspectors to resume their monitoring.
The move fell far short of reasonable assurance, but it was enough for Tehran to dodge new IAEA and UN resolutions, as well as for the West to assume that negotiations would continue.
But as soon as the IAEA's board meeting was over, Tehran declared it would not be providing access to the Karaj nuclear facility after all, unless the West and IAEA condemned attacks on Iranian nuclear sites over the past few years.
Europe and the US are emboldening the regime
Beyond the hostile lip service, Tehran was asking for impunity with regard to its nuclear program. Despite an IAEA warning coupled with E3 and US cautions, the regime didn't back down.
The why shouldn't be sought in Tehran, but in the Western capitals. Tehran has every reason to believe it can keep up the extortion tactic it has used for years.
In 2015, the West was so eager to sign the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) that it shelved the possible military dimensions (PMD) investigation of Iran's nuclear program.
This left twelve outstanding questions unanswered, and the regime remained in breach of the nuclear deal even at its inception.
Lacking domestic support, the theocracy struggled for years to create its own version of 'power components'. Extending its long arm of terrorism across four continents, it strove to create the perception that it could jeopardize the security of every nation.
The proxy wars in the Middle East were intended to do just that. As the chief exporter of Islamic fundamentalism, Tehran feels emboldened wherever a bomb goes off in the name of Islam.
The international community has generated practical impunity for Tehran's actions. By releasing its terrorists and prisoner-swapping its sanctions breachers, the West has motivated more Iranian agents to accept such missions, with reassurances that Tehran can keep extorting their safety.
By enabling the perpetrators of mass murders and genocide to attend international platforms, it has shown that Iranian lives don't matter to the West, as long as Iran stays at the negotiating table.
Time to send the right message
When President Biden promised the revival of the JCPOA, the US took over the initiative from the Europeans.
Tehran is now trying to use the debacle in Afghanistan to its benefit in the Vienna talks, threatening to deal another foreign policy blow to Washington with either a nuclear breakout or by wrecking the negotiations.
With no firm policy in the West, the government in Tehran doesn't need a nuclear weapon to feel safe. It's already extorting the international community by dictating its terms on a program it claims to be peaceful, but involves advancing uranium enrichment beyond 60 per cent.
Speaking to Iranian state television, Ali Bagheri Kani, the new deputy foreign minister, said: "The nuclear program is our power component. We want the centrifuges to keep spinning and help the wheels of our economy to spin too."
Encouraging the regime's belief that it can extort itself out of every major crisis has prolonged its survival.
But as the centrifuges keep spinning in Iran, and the militias keep marching in Baghdad and Beirut, it's about time to learn that the best way to deal with a blackmailer is to strike at his Achilles heel.
The regime is unprecedently unpopular within the country. Iranians cry out for regime change wherever they gather, despite being gunned down by the security forces.
Economic and social upheaval, coupled with endemic corruption, have shredded the establishment. Khamenei's power base is as thin as it has ever been. New regional alliances have demonstrated that the entire region is fed up with the Tehran regime.
In Europe, there are encouraging developments setting the regime back on its heels. One of the perpetrators of the 1988 massacre of thousands of Iranian political prisoners, Hamid Nouri, is on trial in Stockholm; in February a Belgian court sentenced one of Iran's diplomats, Assadollah Assadi, to 20 years' imprisonment for terrorism; and the case of the assassination of human rights champion Dr. Kazem Rajavi was reactivated in Switzerland after three decades, this time over crimes against humanity.
After the boycott of Iran's elections, a bi-partisan voice in the US Congress arose, calling for Tehran's new president, Ebrahim Raisi, to be held accountable for his direct role in crimes against humanity.
And there's plenty more the West can do to strip Tehran of impunity. Re-opening legal cases against sanctions breachers and terrorists, holding tribunals for human rights violators, and making sure the regime is unable to shut down the internet at will to crack down on its restive population, are as necessary as they are delayed.
A simple statement supporting the right of the Iranian people to determine their future – and declaring murderous Iranian officials persona non grata – would send the right message.
Tehran's strategic weapon isn't nuclear nor ideological. It has been extortion all along. The West has tried too hard for too long to reason with this regime. It is time to try something new: hold the ruthless rulers of Iran to account, while reaching out to the people of Iran as they seek freedom.
Alireza Jafarzadeh is the deputy director of the Washington office of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, and is credited with exposing Iranian nuclear sites in Natanz and Arak in 2002, triggering International Atomic Energy Agency inspections. He is the author of 'The Iran Threat' (Palgrave MacMillan: 2008).

Revision as of 07:55, 12 March 2006 by Ashley Y (talk | contribs) (rv spam)
Substantially increased programmer productivity (Ericsson measured an improvement factor of between 9 and 25 in one set of experiments on telephony software).
Functional programs are also relatively easy to maintain, because the code is shorter, clearer, and the rigorous control of side effects eliminates a huge class of unforseen interactions.
Another well-known nearly-functional language is the standard database query language SQL. An SQL query is an expression involving projections, selections, joins and so forth. The query says what relation should be computed, without saying how it should be computed. Indeed, the query can be evaluated in any convenient order. SQL implementations often perform extensive query optimisation which (among other things) figures out the best order in which to evaluate the expression.
Spreadsheets and SQL are both fairly specialised languages. Functional programming languages take the same ideas, and move them into the realm of general-purpose programming. To get an idea of what a functional program is like, look at the following quicksort programs. They both sort a sequence of numbers into ascending order using a standard method called "quicksort". The first program is written in Haskell and the second in C.
qsort (x:xs) = qsort elts_lt_x ++ [x] ++ qsort elts_greq_x
elts_lt_x   = [y | y <- xs, y < x]
elts_greq_x = [y | y <- xs, y >= x]
qsort( a, lo, hi ) int a[], hi, lo;
The first line reads: "The result of sorting an empty list (written []) is an empty list". The second line reads: "To sort a list whose first element is x and the rest of which is called xs, just sort all the elements of xs which are less than x (call them elts_lt_x), sort all the elements of xs
which are greater than or equal to x (call them elts_greq_x), and concatenate (++) the results, with x sandwiched in the middle."
The definition of elts_lt_x, which is given immediately below, is read like this: "elts_lt_x is the list of all
y's such that y is drawn from the list xs, and y is less than x". The definition of elts_greq_x is similar. The syntax is deliberately reminiscent of standard mathematical set notation, pronouncing "|" as "such that" and "
<-" as "drawn from".
When asked to sort a non-empty list, qsort calls itself to sort elts_lt_x and elts_greq_x. That's OK because both these lists are smaller than the one originally given to qsort, so the splitting-and-sorting process will eventually reduce to sorting an empty list, which is done rather trivially by the first line of qsort.
Of course, strong typing is available in many imperative languages, such as Ada or Pascal. However, Haskell's type system is much less restrictive than, say, Pascal's, because it uses polymorphism. For example, the qsort program given in Figure 1 will not only sort lists of integers, but also lists of floating point numbers, lists of characters, lists of lists; indeed, it will sort lists of anything which can be compared by the less-than and greater-than operations. In contrast, the C version is restricted to sorting an array of integers.
Very many sophisticated programs need to allocate dynamic memory from a heap. In C this is done with a call to malloc, followed by code to initialise the store just allocated. The programmer is responsible for returning the store to the free pool when it isn't needed any more, a notorious source of "dangling-pointer" errors. Furthermore, malloc is fairly expensive, so programmers often
malloc a single large chunk of store, and then allocate "by hand" out of this.
Every functional language relieves the programmer of this storage management burden. Store is allocated and initialised implicitly, and recovered automatically by the garbage collector. The technology of storage allocation and garbage collection is now well developed, and the costs are rather slight.
Amoco ran an experiment in which they re-coded in a functional language a substantial fraction of their main oil-reservoir simulation code, a critical applictaion. The resulting program was vastly shorter, and its production revealed a number of errors in the existing software. Amoco subsequently transcribed the functional program into ... with encouraging results.
Some other examples of Haskell in practice are found at this web site.

Image courtesy: Sgt. Ray Lewis
For several months, Marine Sgt. Ray Lewis, 29, has been known as the guy who asked "Golden Girls" actress Betty White to the Marine Corps Ball, only to be turned down because of a scheduling conflict and asked instead by "Terminator" star Linda Hamilton.
As I'm sure Hamilton, who is instantly recognizable for her legendary film portrayals of "Sarah Connor," would agree, Sgt. Lewis is much more than a man asking a lady to dance. He's a brave United States Marine.
Sgt. Lewis was working his way through college when he first heard about the United States Marine Corps. One of his instructors had served in the Marines, and Lewis never forgot the values he espoused.
"His attention to detail and his professionalism...it's always going to stay with me," Sgt. Lewis told The Unknown Soldiers. "It's something I'm always going to remember."
After graduation, Lewis struggled to find a new job in his hometown of Oceanside, California, even with a college degree. The Taco Bell employee made several visits to the local Marine Corps recruiting office, asking how he could serve his country while also pursuing a career related to the spoken word. As an aspiring rapper, Lewis loved telling a story, and he hoped he put that to use as a Marine.
"I didn't go because of 9/11," he explained, "But I thought, 'hey I'm definitely going to war.'"
That's exactly where he went. After heavy training, Lewis deployed to Iraq in 2005 as a combat correspondent. While travelling Iraq's dangerous roads and photographing the war, he said one particular incident, involving children he encountered during a patrol, changed his life.
"This time, instead of asking for candy or pencils, the Iraqi kids, they asked for water," the Marine said. "It was around holiday time, and I have little brothers and they have friends...and they're asking for X-Boxes and toys.
"On the flip side, on the other side of the world, in Iraq, they're asking for water," Lewis continued. "Just drinkable water, because the river was contaminated."
When the Marine later deployed to Afghanistan, his life-altering experience was still in the front of his mind. To the combat correspondent, who took his responsibility to tell the story of war very seriously, the conflicts were about people.
"A lot of (Americans) go by what they see in the media and on the news, and they don't realize that there are people out there that need help," the Marine said. "A lot of them live out in tents in the desert, very primitively, but they're people like you and me."
With a new perspective on life after deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, Lewis, now stationed in Fort Worth, Texas, with the 8th Marine District, decided to have some fun. After Marine Sgt. Scott Moore invited actress Mila Kunis to a Marine Corps Ball from Afghanistan -- an invitation she accepted -- Lewis decided to have some fun and invite actress Betty White.
The video quickly went viral:
White responded with regret, saying a scheduling conflict made attending the Ball impossible. Lewis said he actually breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the media blitz that accompanied his viral video would finally calm down. Then, out of nowhere, Hamilton posted this YouTube video:
The next thing the Marine knew, he was picking up Hamilton from the airport. He didn't know what to expect. Was she the tough, hard-nosed woman she portrayed in "T2?"
"A lot of our conversations after she got to Texas were just like a regular person, real down to earth," Lewis said.
One of the most fun aspects of a "surreal" experience was seeing the reactions of his fellow Marines at the Oct. 29 Westlake, Texas, Marine Corps Ball.
"A lot of them were like 'hey...is that Sarah Connor?'" he said. "Or some people would come up to me, and say 'hey...Linda Hamilton's right there, she's in the hotel!"
For Sgt. Lewis, though, the Marine Corps Ball was not about him, nor the Hollywood celebrity who accompanied him there. It was about celebrating the 236th birthday of the Marine Corps, which falls on Nov. 10, and thinking about Marines who are risking their lives, as he once did.
"While we speak right now, there are Marines out there patrolling, just to make sure...we set an example and set a standard so (enemies) don't come over here and attack us," the Marine said. "When I start to take things for granted, I think about them."
Too often, Hollywood and the national media unfairly brand Marines on the battlefield as soulless killing machines. Lewis, who served soft drinks to thousands of Americans at Taco Bell before a desperate Iraqi child pleaded with him for water, proves that ugly stereotype false. Like thousands and thousands of fellow Marines, Sgt. Ray Lewis serves his country because he cares about people.
In the final scene of "Terminator 2: Judgment Day," Linda Hamilton's solemn voice closed a blockbuster film that almost every American remembers.
"The unknown future rolls toward us. I face it for the first time with a sense of hope," she said. "Because if a machine -- a terminator -- can learn the value of human life, maybe we can too."
Marines, while trained to kill on the battlefield if necessary, are not terminators. They are among the very best people to populate and protect the greatest country on earth.
Happy birthday, United States Marine Corps.

Shortlist: Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction
The shortlist for the £25,000 Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction has been announced, after a process the Judges describe as 'the toughest choice, from the strongest longlist, in the Prize's five year history.'
The shortlisted books include winners of two other major book awards, and settings as diverse as New Zealand in the gold rush, Texas at the turn of the twentieth century, and the Scottish Borders in late medieval times.
The shortlist is:
LIFE AFTER LIFE Kate Atkinson
THE LUMINARIES Eleanor Catton
HARVEST by Jim Crace
FAIR HELEN by Andrew Greig
AN OFFICER AND A SPY by Robert Harris
THE PROMISE by Ann Weisgarber
The Judges said:
"This has been the toughest choice of shortlist, from the strongest longlist, in the Prize's five year history. The books this year have aroused passions and confounded sensibilities. We have been entertained, traumatised, haunted, exhilarated and transported to new continents, all miraculously within the two covers of a book.
In the end, we have come down to this magical set of stories, which contain powerful characters and vivid evocations of time and place. From hard lives lived out in New Zealand and Texas, to feuding families and dangerous outsiders in Britain's rural margins, to the political fall-out of war and its effects on everyday people, and the random chances that affect everyone's lives, the stories told in this shortlist exemplify even more acutely the power that writing about the past can wield.
In this golden year of historical fiction, we have a shortlist that Sir Walter Scott would surely have appreciated – and for which readers and critics alike have already shown their appreciation. We hope to bring these extraordinary novels even more attention, and reward their audacity and inventiveness by shortlisting them for this Prize."
The Walter Scott Prize, founded in 2009 by the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch and awarded at the Brewin Dolphin Borders Book Festival in June, is the largest annual fiction prize to be judged outside London, and honours the legacy and achievements of Sir Walter Scott, founder of the historical novel. The winner receives £25,000, and the winner and all shortlisted authors have the chance to stay at the famous writer's retreat on the remote Scottish island of Jura, courtesy of sponsors Jura Single Malt Whisky.
The judging panel for the Walter Scott Prize for historical fiction comprises Kirsty Wark, Louise Richardson, Jonathan Tweedie, Elizabeth Laird, Elizabeth Buccleuch, and chair Alistair Moffat. The judges' criteria include originality and innovation, quality of writing, a strong narrative, and the ability of a book to shed light on the present as well as the past. Books can be by writers from the UK, Ireland or the Commonwealth as long as they are writing in English and the book is first or simultaneously published in the UK.
Shortlisted authors are invited to attend the award ceremony and announcement on Friday 13th June 2014, which is a public event as part of the Brewin Dolphin Borders Book Festival in Melrose, near Scott's home Abbotsford.

Featured Stories 2 Press Release
MCO: Are Malaysian companies ready for Cloud adoption?
While the COVID19 outbreak has accelerated Cloud adoption across the globe, Alphaus Cloud, the multi-award-winning cloud cost management platform that enables the Cloud Centre of Excellence (CCoE), has recently shared their market survey on the Cloud adoption in Malaysia. In collaboration with Hitachi-Sunway Information Systems, the survey took about 3 weeks to complete and was conducted with 105 respondents ranging from IT engineers to Heads of Department and senior management individuals, including chief executive officers, chief operating officers, and chief technology officers from reputable organizations with the average size of 1200 employees.
"The most significant gap, cited by 50% of our respondents, is the lack of "skill sets" to manage the post-cloud adoption environment, followed by the visibility to understand and manage complicated cloud billing. Imagine if you are in charge of paying the utility bills in your household and find family members constantly leaving the lights or air conditioning turned on even when it is not needed, what do you think would happen to your monthly billing? You will most likely end up paying high utility bills monthly. Your family members would not feel the pain because they are not paying the bills and would not understand how their actions are contributing to the high monthly billing. Unless you set a policy at home, to instill discipline and create a culture of accountability when using the utilities, the cost will continue to be exorbitant. The same goes for Cloud which is easy to deploy and scale. If you do not have the visibility of what's going on, your organization may end up paying extra for services that are idle or not needed." said Mohd. Atasha Alias, Director of Alphaus Cloud
Out of the 105 professionals who shared their insights in the Malaysia 2020 Cloud Market Survey, 89.2% were from the private sector while the remaining 10.8 % were from the government sector. Some of the findings from the survey were:
• 77% of the respondents have adopted Cloud Infrastructure to facilitate their businesses
• 45.8% of the respondents are on Public Cloud, followed by 37.5% who are using both Public and Private Clouds (Hybrid Cloud), and finally, 16.7% are using Private Cloud
• Amazon Web Services (AWS) remains the highest public Cloud Service Provider (CSP) with 58% of the respondents using their services, followed by Microsoft Azure at 47%, Google Cloud Platform at 40%, and Alibaba Cloud at 11%. These figures resemble the global trend in Cloud usage.
• 55% stated ICT and cybersecurity-related capital costs include equipment obsolescence and refresh as their top priority when choosing between on-premise versus on-Cloud solutions. On-premise requires the software to be installed locally on the computers or servers, as compared to on-Cloud solutions where the software is hosted by the vendor's server and can be accessed via a browser.
• 81% mentioned scalability as their most important benefit of Cloud Computing to their organization. By adopting Cloud computing, an organisation can easily scale up or down their usage of IT resources as and when needed. In the long run, this allows businesses to continue growing without making expensive upgrades to the local servers or systems. The respondents also find that Cloud adoption allows them to rapidly launch new products and services
As part of the cloud survey effort, Alphaus Cloud had also partnered with Malaysia-Japan Economic Association (MAJECA) and Malaysia South-South Association (MASSA) to organise a webinar with their members titled "The Best Time to Leverage on Cloud Technology: Take your business to Greater Heights".
"Managing data centres and equipment may not be the core business for an organisation and is typically relegated to a "cost of doing business. By adopting Cloud, organisations will be able to focus on the digital transformation of their core business, creating more value to the end customers and have the agility to respond quickly to unexpected events," said Tan Tze Meng, a leader in Malaysia's Cloud and Digital enablement landscape.
The survey result was shared at the recent inaugural KL Cloud Maestro Series organised to gather Cloud Champions; IT Professionals and Senior Executives to discuss the current trends in organisations in Malaysia; understand the responsibilities of the CCoE at any organisations should now be shared with other departments including the management, finance and operations. The event was held at Escape by Etiqa.

Who has the ability to approve an active-crisis deployment of the National Guard to DC?
posted by Ben in at 10:27 AM NYC Time
There's a key question here that it's bafflingly difficult to find journalists trying to answer: Who has the ability to approve an active-crisis deployment of the National Guard to DC?
The NYTimes has been vague on whose authority is actually required to send in National Guard troops; they don't seem to have made any mention of the "it was Pence who approved the National Guard" claim, that Matt Yglesias and others have mentioned. (See search here: https://www.nytimes.com/search?dropmab=true&query=pence%20guard&sort=newest )
In today's main article, the NYT alludes to a Pentagon official needing to get approval, but leaves it at that, which strikes me as frustratingly lax reporting. Does the NYT know whose approval was required? Obviously if Trump commanded it it would happen; but how far down the chain does that ability go, in theory? "Deployment" is a vague term itself, of course, and all military troops (and police) have some kind of standing authorization to defend violent situations in their immediate vicinity. But if there were, say, active shooter terrorists attacking the White House and the president was unreachable, it's not like the military would just shrug and wait for orders. How is this stuff supposed to work? If reporters can't find anyone who knows, that's a huge story in and of itself, isn't it? And if they can find people who know, why the heck aren't they reporting the answer?
Matt Yglesias seems to suggest that it was Trump's responsibility to approve the National Guard deployment, but I also haven't seen that mentioned in other coverage, and it's not mentioned in the article he links to.

Бентешина (, , по-касситски Bantip-šenni) — сын и наследник  страны Амурру, правивший в 1290/80 — 1235 годах до н. э.

Имя
Вероятно, его имя хурритское и состоит из fandi (правый), šena (брат) и артикля -ni. Fandi-šenni означает «Правдивый брат».

Биография

Неизвестно, когда Бентешина занял трон. Он был правителем уже в период Битвы при Кадеше (1274 год до н. э.), когда он расторг союз с хеттами и в ок. 1276/1275 году до н. э. выступил на стороне египтян, когда на свой 4 год правления фараон Рамсес II напал на Амурру. Из-за нарушения договора после Кадешской битвы, когда хетты вернули власть над Амурру, Муваталли II снял с Бентешину королевские полномочия и привёл пленником в Хатти. Правителем Амурру был посажен Шапили. Хаттусили III запросил Муваталли II передать ему Бентешину, что тот исполнил. Бентешину перевезли в . Так как сам Хаттусили III взбунтовался против Мурсили III и провозгласил себя королём, Шапили был низложен, и трон Амурру вернулся к Бентешине.  (Kiluš-Ḫepa), дочь Хаттусили III была выдана замуж за Бентешина, а одна из его дочерей вышла замуж за Нериккали, сына Хаттусили III. Таким образом, был возобновлён дружественный союз, разрушенный Азиру и Суппилулиумой I. Хаттусили III не был суров с Бентешиной потому, что понимал, что египтяне с Рамсесом II не оставили ему выбора. Бентешина занял положение, какой прежде было у Азиру.

В одном из писем Хаттусили III к вавилонскому правителю Кадашман-Эллилю II Бентешина назван правителем Амурру. Вавилонский царь жаловался, что его торговцы были убиты в Угарите и Амурру, отчего он проклял Бентешину (Bantip-šenni).

Бентешина оставался правителем Амурру, когда разгорелся конфликт между Тудхалией IV и Курунтой в 1236 году до н. э. Его сын Шаушкамува был провозглашён наследником Амурру. Согласно Договору Шаушкамувы, письму Тудхалии, Бентешина скончался в этот период. В этом тексте кратко излагаются исторические события в Амурру, упоминается предательство Бентешины при Муватталли II и его возвращение на трон. Так как в письме говорится о серьёзной напряжённости между Амурру и Ассирией с правителем Тукульти-Нинуртой I (ок. 1233 год до н. э.), то Бентешина скончался между 1235 и 1230 годами до н. э.

De KTFF 1. Lig, tot 2014 İkinci Lig, is een voetbalcompetitie in de Turkse Republiek Noord-Cyprus. Het is het tweede niveau.

De competitie werd opgericht in 1955 na de deling op Cyprus en wordt georganiseerd door de Turks-Cypriotische voetbalbond. Er namen 14 teams deel en de bovenste drie van de ranglijst promoveerden naar de KTFF Süper Lig en de onderste drie degraderen naar de KTFF 2. Lig (tot 2014 Üçüncü Lig). In het seizoen 2016/17 werden de 1. Lig en 2. Lig samengevoegd en werd in twee poules gespeeld. De 2. Lig werd hierna opgeheven en vervangen door regionale reeksen, de Bölgesel Terfi Müsabakaları (BTM) Ligi in meerdere poules. Degradatie vanuit de KTFF 1. Lig, die uitgebreid werd tot 16 teams, vindt vervolgens plaats naar de BTM 1. Lig. Daaronder is nog de BTM 2. Lig.
