Rubio is no check on Trump, as he promised he would be
To call newly confirmed Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos "a school choice advocate" is an understatement.
She's a menace to public education.
DeVos has never been a teacher or school administrator. Her mission in life isn't to educate on the fundamentals of teaching: expanding minds, enabling critical thinking, and preparing young people to thrive in a complex world. No, her stated life's purpose is to "advance God's kingdom." As such, she's been a champion of for-profit religious and charter schools. Her idea of a good education entails religious indoctrination in the same way that schools in a totalitarian regime require the militarization of thought to coincide with the government's agenda.
All of this made DeVos one of the most controversial of Donald Trump's Cabinet nominees.
Once again, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida was in the position to make a difference — but didn't.
Scores of constituents called and wrote letters asking he vote No on the DeVos nomination. So many reached out that his phone was perennially busy, his message box full. Given DeVos' lack of expertise, unpreparedness at her confirmation hearings and countless other shortcomings, pretending to care about the fate of public education was the least Rubio could've done for Floridians.
But DeVos was always a real slam dunk Yes vote for Rubio, who was chronically absent from his Senate perch the past four years, but is now working hard to validate the agenda of the president whom he called on the campaign trail "a con man."
Running for re-election in Miami, Rubio sold himself as a checks-and-balances senator to a possible Trump presidency. But his vote to confirm DeVos is Rubio's latest bow to Trump — and money.
First, there was the Rex Tillerson and Marco Rubio show: Vladimir Putin friend vs. anti-Castro warrior senator. Rubio owed that to his Miami Cuban base.
In the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, Rubio came at Tillerson with the zest of a trial attorney, questioning and confronting him. Would Tillerson label Putin a "war criminal" over his actions in Syria? Tillerson said he would not. Rubio lectured on human rights. He was on fire. The Internet cheered him. Rubio was back at work!
Rubio could've torpedoed Tillerson's nomination right then and there. But, as we all know, he announced on Facebook that he would vote to confirm his nomination. (The ever-eloquent senator needs more characters than Twitter affords.)
And he did; he caved and voted to confirm Trump's Putin-loving buddy.
His vote for DeVos, flawed as she is, shouldn't surprise.
She's a generous Republican donor who contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to the GOP senators who voted Tuesday to confirm her. Of all the money that she and her family, who founded and ran the pyramid-style sales company Amway, gave to elect Republicans to Congress over the years, Rubio got the largest chunk — $98,000, according to the Center for American Progress.
On top of that, billionaire DeVos is an unabashed advocate of for-profit schools. In Florida, they've sprouted like weeds, thanks to the Republican-dominated Legislature and local governments that approve zoning and construction of schools that siphon public education dollars.
Given the scenario, Rubio's demeanor toward his concerned constituents is consistent with his dismissal of pleas for him to vote for the Affordable Care Act and act on immigration reform. He has no time for people who don't think like him or pass his ideological test.
If he really were a "checks-and-balances" senator as he claimed, Rubio could've made a big difference twice now. Two Republicans from Maine and Alaska broke rank and voted with Democrats to block DeVos' nomination. Only one more was needed.
But why would Rubio part with party when respected Republicans like John McCain voted for DeVos?
When the vote came to a 50-50 tie, Vice President Mike Pence, an entrenched Catholic ideologue, predictably swooped in to save the day for Trump, DeVos, and the Republican Party, which stands the best chance it has ever had in bringing back proselytizing to public education.
According to the Senate historian, it was the first time that a vice president was called to break a tie on a Cabinet nomination. But for all of its infamous firsts, the Trump presidency is proving to be no fluke.
The DeVos confirmation is evidence that Republicans feel right at home with their new party leader and his agenda.

Q: Angular: Building a directive and remove attribute from root element Is it possible to do something like this:
<field:text id="foo" label="Foo Label" model="model.foo" placeholder="foo" />
which would be compiled to:

   Foo Label

      <input type="text" id="foo" placeholder="foo" ng-model="model.foo">

I tried to make a example, but Plunker wouldn't let me save my example... uploaded it to dropbox: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2862814/plunk.zip
The example breaks with stuff like ng-change. This is due the compilation of the ng-change directive. I tried it with a high priority to the fieldText directive, but doesn't fix it.

A: You were pretty close with in your example, but you have to put ng-change on the input-field in the template. Your old code:
<field:text ng-change="updateHidden()" ...

Change this to
<field:text change="updateHidden()" ...

and in the directive (see http://docs.angularjs.org/guide/directive - & or &attr - provides a way to execute an expression in the context of the parent scope.)
{scope:{change:'&' ...

and finally the directive template
<input ng-change="change()" ...

Here is a modiefied and working plunkr: http://plnkr.co/edit/QmQjGQQBRtDmkCka0dul?p=preview
<field:text id="too" label="Too" model="model.too" placeholder="too" change="updateHidden()"></field:text>

the craftsman of big country around him
electric welders are known as "iron and steel tailors" in the industry. The delicate fish scale weld between welding flowers and spatters is formed under their hands. Their "Craftsmanship" directly affects the development of national major equipment manufacturing industry
Kong Jianwei is such a "steel tailor". On December 8, 2016, the 13th highly skilled talents commendation conference was held in Beijing, in which 30 winners of China skills award were commended. As a 34 year old welder, Kong Jianwei ushered in the highest coronation of his skill career and became what people call "worker academician"
the news of Kong Jianwei's award spread quickly, and his peers praised him as "worthy of the title", which was a surprise to be expected
Kong Jianwei is an electric welder in Dongfang Boiler Co., Ltd. of China Dongfang Electric Group. 1n Sichuan, he is a legendary figure in the welding field and a respected welding master in the industry. He is a national labor model, a national technical expert and a master of mechanical industry skills. He has won the outstanding contribution award of national skilled talents cultivation and enjoys the special allowance of the State Council; He once helped his factory to overcome difficulties, and also led the team to overcome difficulties in foreign projects to recover huge losses for the enterprise
however, when he talked about this, Kong Jianwei was as humble as ever and said frankly, "1'm just an ordinary welder and 1'm willing to do my best for our country."
people say that he is a "steel tailor" with a dream of serving his country< 1n 2008, Kong Jianwei took part in the model worker therapy of Dongguo group and was walking on the street of Lijiang, Yunnan Province. Suddenly, he heard someone calling him "teacher Kong". When he looked at it, the past suddenly came to his mind six years ago, a batch of military products of a factory in Southwest China failed to pass the welding, which affected the progress of the project. Kong Jianwei was ordered to go to the site for technical assistance in the face of crisis. Due to the high requirements of welding quality, and the workpiece is a special structure and filled with medium, a little carelessness, welding repair may fall short. The hard working environment is also a big challenge for the welding personnel. 1n order to complete the task with high quality, Kong Jianwei can only operate in a closed room with only 10 square meters. Working more than 20 hours a day, no ventilation, the air quality of the operation room is also very poor under such conditions, Kong Jianwei continued to tackle the difficulties for nearly a month. Not only the welding repair was successful, the qualified rate reached 100%, but also the delivery date of the products was guaranteed, and the economic loss of the factory was more than 2 million yuan Kong Jianwei also "strike while the iron is hot" and sorted out his practice in a whole month into a set of mature and feasible welding process. According to this process, he helped the factory to weld more than 1100 parts of the military products, with a qualified rate of 100%. At the same time, the welder in the factory should be trained to ensure that everyone can complete the welding of the part independently, so as to avoid the recurrence of similar difficulties the person who warmly greets Kong Jianwei on the street of Lijiang is the chief engineer of that military enterprise During the interview, the reporter of worker's Daily found that there are still many stories about Kong Jianwei's accepting orders in the face of danger and turning the tide around in his long career Kong Jianwei also cherishes these experiences, "which makes me more persistent and more motivated in my career as a welder."< Except for special occasions, this dress is Kong Jianwei's favorite dress style for many years. People can always see his familiar figure in Dongguo factory, various skill competitions and welding seminars. We call him "Master Kong" not only because of his profound qualifications and superb skills, but also because of his selfless dedication, preaching and teaching in technology< 1n the early 1980s, Kong Jianwei was assigned to Dongguo welding laboratory. 1n my memory, those welding technologists of the same age as his father imparted their own technology to him without reservation. Over the past few years, he has not only learned a lot of skills, but also learned the spirit of dedication from the older generation of welders Kong Jianwei's career growth and progress are due to his mentor's guidance and his own efforts. At that time, the technology competition and post training of major enterprises across the country were full of vitality. Kong Jianwei, who will take part in every competition, almost gave up all his vacation, insisted on high-intensity training and "crammed" theoretical knowledge. He has won many places in the provincial, municipal and national boiler industry welder competition, and won the title of technical expert at all levels a single flower is not spring, but a hundred flowers bloom in spring. Kong Jianwei is good at researching, is willing to preach, and is more willing to be a human ladder. He tries his best to impart his operation skills and welding theoretical knowledge to young welders without reservation, so that the "seedlings" around him can become talents quickly< Over the past 34 years, Kong Jianwei has trained thousands of qualified welders for the company and other units. 1n the national welder skill competitions at all levels, many technical talents trained and guided by him have become the technical backbone of enterprises. At the same time, many technicians, senior technicians and model figures have emerged, making continuous contributions to the development of enterprises and national machinery industry at the grass-roots level< Over the past 30 years, Kong Jianwei has become a knowledge-based, skill based and innovative welding technology expert. He presided over and participated in the compilation of training materials such as basic theoretical knowledge exercise set for boiler and pressure vessel welders, and edited national professional standards for boiler (pressure) equipment welders, The paper also won the first prize of China Machinery 1ndustry Enterprise Management Association and machinery industry vocational skill appraisal guidance center Kong Jianwei has won many honors for his excellent work performance and good professional ethics: national technical experts, top 10 outstanding technical experts in Sichuan Province, knowledge-based advanced workers of central enterprises, skilled masters of machinery industry, the 10th National Outstanding Contribution Award for skilled talents cultivation, and special allowance from the State Council Kong Jianwei could have enjoyed his leisure when he was honored and famous, but he was like a clockwork. He never slackened in scientific research, technological research, new product development and process improvement, and could not stop for a moment. 1n the process of creating national "Kong Jianwei skill master studio" and "national model worker 1nnovation Studio", Kong Jianwei and his colleagues organized and carried out various forms of welding quality research activities around the company's new products, new processes and new materials, and achieved remarkable results "a welding line, which is evaluated by quality on the surface, shows the soul of a welder. At any time, my requirement for technology is to keep improving." Kong Jianwei said that after 34 years as a welder, he knew the hardships in the process. However, for the sake of the vigorous development of the cause of the motherland, he hoped that more young technical backbones would grow up in this field, and he would do a good job of mentoring without reservation" 00318, this is my job number. As an electric welder, 1 am proud of it and will stick to it all my life and contribute to my country! "

Q: C++ Vector of vectors, cannot edit I have a MatrixGraph class with a member variable M that is of type vector<vector<double> >. I have a constructor that takes in an unsigned, and makes a NxN matrix from that input, and I want to initialize it to zero. The problem is when I run my code the debugger kicks in when I am trying to assign stuff. I have tried to methods, the first:
MatrixGraph::MatrixGraph(unsigned num_nodes) {
for(int i = 0;i < num_nodes;i++) {
    for(int j = 0;j < num_nodes;j++) {
        M[i][j] = 0.0;//breaks on this line
    }//end i for loop
}//end j for loop
}

and the second method i tried i found on here but that didn't work either:
MatrixGraph::MatrixGraph(unsigned num_nodes) {
for(int i = 0;i < num_nodes;i++) {
        M[i].resize(num_nodes);//breaks on this line
    }
}

i commented on here where the last line on the call stack is before i get errors. The next line after that on the call stack shows me the class vector and is saying that my Pos is greater than the size of my vector. I assume that this is a size zero matrix, but i don't know why i cant make it bigger. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

A: The reason your code is failing is that you cant use the [] operation on a vector before that element exists. The usual way to add a value to a vector is to use push_back.
If you want to initialize to 0 you want assign(). Resize the outer vector to the required size and then assign each of the inner vectors with 0
M.resize(num_nodes);
for(int i = 0;i < num_nodes;i++)
{
    M[i].assign(num_nodes,0.0f);
}//end i for loop

This can also be done. It is cleaner code but a tad less efficient since it makes 1 extra vector object.
vector<double> temp;
temp.assign(num_nodes,0.0);
M.assign(num_nodes,temp);

or just
M.assign(num_nodes,vector<double>(num_nodes,0.0));

neatest one(courtesy @Mike Seymour) would be
MatrixGraph(unsigned num_nodes)
   : M(num_nodes, vector<double>(num_nodes,0.0))
{}

(thanks Mike Seymour for the constructor syntax)
What you are doing here is initializing the outer vector with a temp vector full of 0.0s

A: You need to populate your vector M with data: M.resize(num_nodes)
This should do it:
MatrixGraph::MatrixGraph(unsigned num_nodes)
{
    M.resize(num_nodes);
    for(int i = 0;i < num_nodes;i++)
    {
        M[i].resize(num_nodes);
        for(int j = 0;j < num_nodes;j++)
        {
            M[i][j] = 0.0;
        }//end j for loop
    }//end i for loop
}

Subjects: Syria, China, immigration, Christopher Pyne.
BEN FORDHAM: There is no escaping the tension this morning between the US and Russia with fears we could be on the brink of full-scale military action. Joining us is Anthony Albanese from the Labor Party, Josh Frydenberg from the Liberal Party. Good morning to you both.
JOSH FRYDENBERG: Good to be with you boys.
FORDHAM: Where is Christopher, Josh?
ALBANESE: He is on holidays with Karl.
FORDHAM: That will start a rumour.
FRYDENBERG: Pina coladas in hand I am sure.
FORDHAM: I can picture the two of them now. Josh let me start off. Donald Trump has threatened all-out war. He is talking about sending missiles Syria's way, also directing some of his language to Russia. He's softened his language a little bit overnight. Where are we headed here?
FRYDENBERG: Well obviously the chemical attack in Syria was unacceptable. We have seen a huge humanitarian disaster in that country. The US's presence in the Middle East is absolutely critical and we just hope that peace can be restored, calm can be restored but obviously with as little loss of life as possible.
FORDHAM: Albo, your boss Bill Shorten once upon a time said that Donald Trump's views are barking mad. But if America gets into action we go side-by-side, don't we?
ALBANESE: Well, what we need here is cool heads and we need an appropriate response to the chemical weapons attack in a sober way.
FORDHAM: Do you think Donald Trump has shown a cool head?
ALBANESE: Well, I notice that he has changed overnight apparently, the rhetoric. I think it would be a good idea if foreign policy wasn't announced on Twitter. It would be a good idea if it was done in a way that was calculated, in a way that understood what the end game was rather than just the rhetoric.
FORDHAM: Just briefly, do you agree with that Josh, that it would be better if foreign policy announcements were not made via social media?
FRYDENBERG: Well I don't think they are. I think what Donald Trump is doing is taking the advice of his senior military people, talking to other world leaders and working out a considered response because, as Albo said, it was a completely unacceptable attack. There needs to be a proportionate response and we need to ensure that this sort of attack doesn't happen again.
FORDHAM: It did look like he fired off a tweet first though, didn't he, the President?
FRYDENBERG: Well he is known to be quick on the tweet. That's for sure.
FORDHAM: Now back home the Prime Minister has admitted that there is tension between Australia and China. Now this is a comment that he made yesterday during an interview with Neil Mitchell who joined us earlier and he basically said that this has been going on for some time now. We've now got ministers who are being frozen out of invitations to China. That has got to be a bit of a worry Josh, that no Australian ministers are receiving any invites to go to China anymore?
FRYDENBERG: Well the Prime Minister didn't confirm that, but what he did say there was a bit of tension in the relationship. This is a critical bilateral partnership that we have with China. We have $175 billion worth of two-way trade strongly in Australia's favour. But since we introduced that foreign influence law it has been reported negatively in the Chinese press. But we will always stand up for Australia's rights and values and that is what we will continue to do.
FORDHAM: It's a bit of a worry what is going in going on in the region Albo when you have a look at the influence of China in the region. We have had a look at what has happened in Vanuatu in the last week or so, China suggesting they might want to set up a base in Vanuatu. We need to keep an eye on this don't we?
ALBANESE: Australia is a leader in this region. We often I don't think comprehend how significant we are. For many of those Pacific nations their most-important partner isn't China or the United States, it's Australia. It's important that in a bipartisan way we continue to have that presence in the Pacific.
FORDHAM: Sam Dastyari when he caused a lot of dramas to do with donations from Chinese business people – that reaction to all of that apparently didn't go down well in China, when Australia was collectively was outraged about the fact that Sam Dastyari was having bills paid by Chinese businesspeople so the Shanghai Sam-Sam Dastyari controversy has caused a few problems there.
ALBANESE: WelI, think the term that you have just used isn't appropriate Ben, and did cause some problems out there. Sam Dastyari's behaviour was clearly inappropriate. It cost him dearly. But I think some of the rhetoric around the relationship with China was overblown. Guess what? They noticed.
FORDHAM: So Aussies calling Sam Dastyari Shanghai Sam has upset Chinese leaders?
ALBANESE: Well I would have thought a lot of the rhetoric at that time and since has caused some issues and it is important that, fine for people in the media, but I think people in political leadership positions need to give appropriate statements, whether it be about China or the US or any other nation we have an important relationship with.
FORDHAM: OK. When it comes to immigration numbers the big discussion point this week where a story appeared on the front page of The Australian newspaper that the Immigration Minister Peter Dutton had gone to the Prime Minister and also the Treasurer saying let's lower our annual migration intake. That was denied really strenuously by the Prime Minister, Josh Frydenberg. But Tony Abbott, the former Prime Minister came out and said I think … what are you laughing about?
FRYDENBERG: Well Tony Abbott, I mean, he is always going to try and cut across what the Prime Minister has been saying lately.
FORDHAM: I thought he was a member of the team.
ALBANESE: You haven't been paying attention.
FRYDENBERG: He is a member of the Government.
FORDHAM: I thought they were on the same team. Isn't the PM and Tony Abbott both on the same team? He's laughing again.
FRYDENBERG: I think you are covering up the biggest secret in sport mate there.
ALBANESE: That's like saying Ben that the mighty South Sydney were on the same team as the Roosters last night. It's a similar relationship.
FORDHAM: All right. Let's stick to the facts. Tony Abbott says that the Prime Minister was being tricky in that denial and he was also saying that he was denying something that was substantially true. So Albo, let me ask you, who do you believe? Do you believe Peter Dutton? Or do you believe Malcolm Turnbull?
ALBANESE: Well, they can't both be right. That's the point. Peter Dutton's response was to say that something different from what Malcolm Turnbull said actually happened, but that Malcolm Turnbull was right. The contradiction was there in Peter Dutton's own statement.
FORDHAM: Josh, I know they are both trying to say we are on the same page, but it is pretty clear here that something has gone on here and the PM is not too happy about it.
FRYDENBERG: No, the PM is absolutely right. There has not been a Cabinet submission on this issue. But what the Prime Minister said is that ministers discuss issues with the Prime Minister. Now when it comes to our migration intake, we had to clean up Labor's mess because they lost control of our borders. We have a ceiling of 190,000 people a year. It is below that over the last 12 months. We will obviously consider to ensure that our immigration policy is in Australia's national interest because immigration has been the backbone of our country. Albo and myself, you know we are two products of European families. We know how great Australia is and the fact more than half of Australian people have at least one parent or both parents born overseas I think says something about our willingness to be open to other countries.
FRYDENBERG: OK Albo, do you want to keep Josh or do you want to go back to Chris next week?
ALBANESE: He's doing OK this bloke. I reckon this is a good rehearsal. If he agrees to turn up to the studio I reckon Pyne is gone.
FORDHAM: Everyone gets along with in Liberal Party as Josh has highlighted this morning by laughing at the former Prime Minister.
FRYDENBERG: Let me just say I think Christopher has just choked on his pina colada.
ALBANESE: They are a rabble without a cause.

Han Yan spread his arms and said in a helpless manner.
Everyone burst into laughter. As the Black Sect's Sect Chief, Daoist Black had just drank a dog's wine. This was not something that other people should know happened.
Big Yellow immediately became angry; he kept shouting at Daoist Black. This dog didn't care who he was facing, he would even dare challenge the father of the heavenly king.
Daoist Black stared at Big Yellow who seemed like he had just suffered the biggest grievance. His face turned red because of embarra.s.sment, but in the end, he just couldn't speak any words. If any other dog had dared be so arrogant in front of him, he would definitely have skinned the dog alive. But, this dog was not a dog that could easily be trifled with. Even Duan Jianhong was defeated by him. Putting that aside, Big Yellow and Daoist Black did have a pretty good relations.h.i.+p. With Daoist Black's current condition, where he hadn't even fully recovered, perhaps he might even be defeated by this dog.
Jiang Chen hurriedly changed the focus to Han Yan, Giving Daoist Black an excuse to escape from this embarra.s.sing moment.
Daoist Black looked at Han Yan with a smile on his face. For him, it was a glorious thing to have so many geniuses in the Black Sect. The future would definitely s.h.i.+ne brightly because of these geniuses.
Han Yan raised his wine pot and tossed off its lid.
Big Yellow became furious once again.
Jiang Chen said in a serious manner. If not for Big Yellow coming along with him to Inferno h.e.l.l, Jiang Chen would not have been able to kill the Earth Devil in such a smooth manner. Putting aside all other issues, without Big Yellow, there were two things he wouldn't have been able to accomplish.
First, without Big Yellow, there was no way Jiang Chen could have found the hidden Blood Talisman within Inferno City. Without the Blood Talisman, he couldn't have handled the powerful Earth Devil. Secondly, without Big Yellow, Jiang Chen wouldn't have been able to leave the Poisonous Miasma s.p.a.ce. The Spiraling Defense Mechanism Big Yellow mad was extraordinary, and it was the key that allowed Jiang Chen and Wu Jiu to escape from the Poisonous Miasma s.p.a.ce.
Han Yan raised the wine pot and gave Big Yellow a toast. Only then did Big Yellow let out a satisfied laugh.
Daoist Black asked. Although he was the Black Sect's Sect Chief, he still consulted Jiang Chen when it came to the Black Sect's most important matter. Obviously, he considered Jiang Chen one of the key persons who could decide anything for the Black Sect.
In fact, even if Jiang Chen was appointed as Sect Chief of the Black Sect, no one would have any objections. Without Jiang Chen, there would after all be no Black Sect any longer. Furthermore, with Jiang Chen's current strength, he could be considered the strongest man in the Qi Province.
Jiang Chen said. His words allowed Daoist Black to understand something. In the Qi Province, Daoist Black would be the only ruler. Jiang Chen had no interest in ruling the Qi Province.
During the next few days, the Black Sect was experience a real major change. Redsun Town was completely crowded, and in just three days, more than half of a brand new base had been built. For those cultivators who had amazing skills and tricks, building a new base was the simplest thing they could do.
On this day, while Jiang Chen was accompanying Yan Chenyu in her room, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
Hearing the knocking, Jiang Chen furrowed his brows. Usually, no one would come disturb him while he was accompanying Yan Chenyu. It seemed like something had happened.
Jiang Chen stood up and opened the door. It was Daoist Black who was knocking on the door.
Jiang Chen said with a displeased tone. Daoist Black better give him a good reason for disturbing him, otherwise Jiang Chen would become really angry.
Daoist Black said with a solemn expression. This told Jiang Chen that the person who wanted to see him was not someone simple.
A voice came from Daoist Black's back. After that, the man appeared in front of Jiang Chen's eyes.
Jiang Chen felt surprised. The man who was looking for him was Xuan Ye. No wonder Daoist Black became so nervous; the visit of a Combat Soul warrior had definitely shocked him.
Xuan Ye asked with a smile on his face.
Jiang Chen smiled. It looked like Xuan Ye had found out about his current situation, and came here because of Yan Chenyu. But, there was no way Xuan Ye could help with Yan Chenyu's condition. Anyhow, since he came with good intentions, Jiang Chen couldn't just reject him.
Xuan Ye walked into the room. Daoist Black didn't follow, he just closed the door for them. He was extremely excited right now, he had no idea who this Xuan Ye was, but he knew that this man was a powerful Combat Soul warrior, and he was Jiang Chen's friend. If the Black Sect could have a Combat Soul warrior as a friend, it would be incredibly advantageous.
Xuan Ye walked into the room and looked at Yan Chenyu. He immediately nodded his head when he saw Yan Chenyu's beautiful and gorgeous appearance.
Xuan Ye handed the storage ring to Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen sent his divine sense into the storage ring, and in an instant, all kinds of herbs appeared in front of Jiang Chen's eyes.
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up. All these pills and herbs were extremely expensive, and each of them were premium quality ones that had been grown for many years. Even in the Martial Saint Dynasty, these were all top quality items amongst all precious items. There was no way he could find these in a small place like the Qi Province.
With the combination of all these herbs, they could really revive a dead man. By simply sending these precious herbs to Jiang Chen, he could easily tell how prestigious Wu Jiu's status and background was.
But it was a pity that all these herbs were useless for Yan Chenyu. However, this actions did touch Jiang Chen's heart.
Xuan Ye asked with a smile. He was confident in the herbs and pills he had brought.
Jian Chen replied with a smile.
Xuan Ye was shocked. His confidence in these herbs was gigantic.
Jiang Chen shook his head.
Xuan Ye exclaimed, shocked. He didn't expect that this girl lying on the bed had such a rare and powerful body.
Xuan Ye furrowed his brows.
Jiang Chen's heart missed a beat. Only the Nine Solar Holy Water could heal Yan Chenyu, that's why his next goal was to find it. Although his goal was clear, he still had no idea where to start from. When he was looking for Firethorn Savage and the Earth Devil, he still knew roughly where it could be found; there was a clear destination. However, Xuan Ye's words just now caused him to feel like a headless fly; no idea where to go next.
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up.
Jiang Chen's eyes were bright. Although he had no idea whether or not he could find the Nine Solar Holy Water on that Blissful Island, there was at least hope. Having a target was better that nothing.
Jiang Chen replied with a smile. He was able to walk out from a place like Inferno h.e.l.l, what was there to worry about with this Blissful Island? He had made up his man, he would go there tomorrow.
Right at this moment, a loud rumble could be heard outside the Black Sect's gate. A few powerful energies carrying intense killing intent swept across the entire Black Sect.

Q: How to load activity from BroadcastReceiver onReceive I want to load an activity from the BroadcastReceiver onReceive method.
I have 2 activities, one is the main and the second I created.
I want to load the second activity from onReceive but it's loading the main activity and I don't know why..
This is the intent on onReceive():
Intent i = new Intent(context, BTNotifierWarning.class);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(i);

this is the BTNotifierWarning class:
package com.btnotifier;

public class BTNotifierWarning extends Activity {

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.warning);

        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    }

La cattedra di San Pietro (in latino Cathedra Petri) è un trono ligneo, che la leggenda medioevale identifica con la cattedra vescovile appartenuta a san Pietro apostolo in quanto primo vescovo di Roma e papa.

In realtà quello che si conserva è un manufatto del IX secolo, donato nell'875 dal re dei Franchi Carlo il Calvo a papa Giovanni VIII in occasione della sua discesa a Roma per la propria incoronazione a imperatore.

Viene conservato come reliquia nella basilica di San Pietro in Vaticano, all'interno di una grandiosa composizione barocca progettata da Gian Lorenzo Bernini e realizzata fra il 1656 e il 1665.

Una copia della cattedra di legno si trova inoltre esposta nel Museo storico artistico – Tesoro di San Pietro, con ingresso dall'interno della basilica.

Il nome "cattedra" deriva dal termine latino cathedra, che indica la cattedra vescovile (il seggio sul quale siede il vescovo).

Descrizione

L'opera del Bernini è collocata nell'abside di fondo della Basilica Vaticana, aggettante con effetto scenografico dalla cornice architettonica delle lesene. Al centro si trova il trono in bronzo dorato, al cui interno è situata la cattedra lignea vera e propria. Sullo schienale del seggio è rappresentato l'episodio in cui Cristo esorta Pietro con queste parole: «Pasci i miei agnelli» (Gv, 21,15-17).

Quattro colossali statue anch'esse in bronzo, raffiguranti quattro dottori della Chiesa (in primo piano sant'Agostino e sant'Ambrogio per la Chiesa latina e in secondo piano sant'Atanasio e san Giovanni Crisostomo per la Chiesa greca), sono rappresentate nell'atto di sorreggere la cattedra, che pare librarsi senza peso su nuvole di stucco dorato.

Sopra il trono, in una raggiera di stucchi dorati contornata da angeli, si trova un finestrone di fondo in alabastro raffigurante una colomba (l'apertura alare è di 162 cm), simbolo dello Spirito Santo il quale guida i successori di Pietro nel loro incarico. Essa costituisce l'unica vetrata colorata dell'intera basilica di San Pietro.

Come l'Estasi di Santa Teresa d'Avila (1644-52) dello stesso Bernini, la cattedra di San Pietro può essere senza dubbio definita un capolavoro del Barocco, che fondendo insieme architettura, scultura e arti figurative dà luogo ad un'opera d'arte globale, rappresentazione scenografica di una visione fantastica. Spettacolari gli effetti della luce, soprattutto nel pomeriggio quando il sole scende dietro l'abside.

Festa liturgica
La festa della cattedra di san Pietro, iscritta al calendario romano generale, risale al III secolo. Il Lexikon für Theologie und Kirche dice che questa festa ha avuto origine nel pasto celebrativo di un morto che era tradizionale tenere a Roma il 22 febbraio (Feralia), celebrazione simile al refrigerium che si usava tenere nelle catacombe.

Il Calendario di Filocalo del 354 e che ha avuto origine nel 311 indica come unica data della festa il 22 febbraio. Invece, nel Martirologio geronimiano, che nella sua attuale forma è del IX secolo, sono indicati due giorni di festa dedicati alla cattedra di san Pietro apostolo: il 18 gennaio e il 22 febbraio. Tutti i manoscritti di questo documento contengono un'aggiunta tardiva, secondo la quale la festa di febbraio celebrerebbe la cattedra di san Pietro ad Antiochia, per cui la festa di gennaio era associata invece con la funzione episcopale di san Pietro a Roma ed era trattata come la più importante.

La festa di gennaio è stata scelta nel 1908 come primo giorno dell'Ottavario di preghiera per l'unità dei cristiani, che concludeva con la festa della Conversione di san Paolo il 25 gennaio.

Nella revisione del calendario romano generale operata da papa Giovanni XXIII nel 1960, sono state abolite diverse feste considerate doppioni di altre. Nel caso delle due feste della cattedra di san Pietro, è stata conservata unicamente quella di febbraio, più antica. Perciò anche nell'edizione 1962 del Messale Romano, rimane soltanto la festa di febbraio. In ogni caso la Settimana di preghiera per l'unità dei cristiani continua ad essere celebrata negli stessi giorni del mese di gennaio, nonostante l'abolizione nel calendario romano della festa scelta come giorno iniziale.

Nel rito ambrosiano invece la celebrazione unificata è fissata al 18 gennaio, in modo da distanziarla dalla Quaresima.

Dottrina della Cathedra Petri

La cathedra Petri è anche il nome di una dottrina sviluppata a partire dal III secolo inerente alla successione e l'autorità dell'episcopato, concepito un tutt'uno affidato da Cristo a san Pietro e ai suoi successori romani; secondo i cattolici, egli ha esercitato subito il suo primato, attribuitogli da Cristo stesso.

Nei due secoli successivi essa si andò trasformando nella teoria organica del primato di Roma su tutte le chiese, dando luogo sia alla concreta rivendicazione della superiore autorità del papa e del suo diritto di intervento nei confronti degli altri vescovi, sia ad una "teologia del primato" che rimase a fondamento del potere spirituale e temporale della chiesa di Roma nel Medioevo.

"From where I stand" is part of "2020 Vision," the Coloradoan's new community opinion forum. Learn more about the project, and how to participate, at Coloradoan.com/opinion.
From where I stand, a city of 170,00-plus deserves a newspaper that interfaces with the community.
The Coloradoan had a history of engaging the public through different paths, some being opinion pieces, letters to the editor, and thumbs up and down. Opinion pieces tell us what people think, what events have happened, how people reacted, and also what is still coming up. It is a useful tool for connecting the community.
When those options were removed, the community let out a groan, bereft of a valuable community partnership. Now, the paper is bringing back an opinion section. Can I hear a hurrah?
I moved here in 1974 because Fort Collins was a small town with such a friendly, easy community orientation — and center diagonal parking downtown. We still have that parking and this city has that friendliness, but the living is not so easy with 110,000 more people and all those cars.
I have seen many changes — roads, subdivisions, shopping centers, office buildings, the MAX bus line, and more that have been built, extending the boundaries and filling in open spaces. All this growth has created such a unique, exceptional city that retirees do searches for the best place to retire and choose Fort Collins.
I plan to live out my life in Fort Collins, and I want to see it remain that unique, exceptional city — though it could stay off the Top 10 lists for a while.
A good newspaper is essential. The Coloradoan has great editors, reporters, and other staff who given the chance can and have connected with this community. Now that they are adding back the opinion section, I am thrilled.
Yes, it will be in the digital version, which doesn't please me, but it doesn't take a seer to see where newsprint is going. Do Millennials even know about ink on your fingers? One day, folks will joke about "newsprint" like we joke about dial telephones and typewriters. I, for one, don't want to go back to those days, so I reluctantly, but of my own volition, trudge forward in this digital age.
2020 is going to be a big year — the 100-year celebration of women winning the vote and the 100-year anniversary of the League of Women Voters. Opinion pieces and letters to the editor will appraise the community of some of the special events planned. And, oh yes, there will be an election!
The opinion section is where we get to support our candidates and promote ballot issues — we will educate, learn, debate, and argue — all while trying to be civil though not always succeeding. But voicing our opinions is the nitty gritty of an election and a community.
I'm grateful and delighted that the Coloradoan is bringing back this vital service and link with our community. I look forward to reading opinions, ideas, events, and activities from the good citizens of Fort Collins, so get out your pens now and start writing.
Jane Everham lives in Fort Collins.

Never mind the apologies. That ship has sailed. We Canadians need to come to terms with the fact Conservatives don't apologize, and they don't explain, no matter how obvious it is they need to.
But surely now that it's official the remnants of the U.S.-led coalition are "not winning" in Afghanistan, it's time for Canada's Opposition Conservatives to admit Jack Layton was right about talking to the Taliban, and that they were wrong.
Most politically alert Canadians are probably faintly aware that it was the Conservative Party of then prime minister Stephen Harper back in the mid 2000s that smeared Mr. Layton, who was then the leader of the federal New Democratic Party, with the epithet "Taliban Jack," and that it had something to do with Afghanistan.
But for many of us, I suspect, the circumstances are rapidly disappearing into the mists of time.
At the time, Canadian soldiers had already been involved in the bloody and unwinnable occupation of the Central Asian country known as the Graveyard of Empires for four years, but this really set off the Tory barking chain.
Mr. Layton was excoriated as naive at best and treasonous at worst. He was accused by the online Conservative Rage Machine, then in its relative infancy, of failing to support Canada's soldiers abroad and supporting the people who were shooting at them.
Their logic, apparently, was that no good Canadian would ever sit down to speak with unsavoury men who were shooting at Canadian soldiers, even if those same unsavoury men were part of a coalition that enjoyed the support of a considerable portion of Afghanistan's Pashtun ethnic majority. The assumption underlying this view, presumably, was that the West had a reasonable chance of defeating them. As with most insurgencies in poor countries where people have little to lose, it never did.
That would have been an appropriate time for the Harper Conservatives to apologize, which of course they did not.
They didn't really mean it about talking to the Taliban, anyway, since Mr. Harper himself put conditions on the idea no resistance movement would accept – even if it wasn't making the incremental gains that always win insurgencies. Before the Taliban would be allowed to sit at the table, Mr. Harper proclaimed, they would have to lay down their arms and agree to abide by the Afghan constitution, cooked up in 2004 following the U.S. invasion of the Central Asian country. As he knew, there was no chance of that happening.
By 2011, naturally, the U.S. government was paying no attention to the sage advice of its Canadian ally and had entered into direct, secret talks with the Taliban.
That would have been another moment for the Conservatives to apologize to Mr. Layton. Didn't happen then either.
Regardless, the Western war in that country has lurched along to this day. So how did all this work out?
Well, thankfully, the last Canadian soldiers left the country in mid-March 2015.
But for all the blood and treasure we spent, the "new Afghanistan" sure looks a lot like the old Afghanistan.
A corrupt government propped up by the U.S. and its proxies controls the capital, Kabul, and the Taliban is regaining control pretty well everywhere else. During daylight, they say, the government controls about half the country nowadays. Many places where Western soldiers fought fierce battles with the "primitive" Afghans are now firmly in Taliban hands.
In June, President Donald Trump's Defence Secretary, Jim Mattis, admitted to the U.S. Congress the United States is "not winning" the war against the Taliban.
Don't hold your breath waiting for the correction.
As recently as yesterday, fighting continued in the Forever War in Afghanistan, with disturbing if unlikely reports the Taliban and their sworn enemy ISIS were teaming up to drive out the Western invaders.
Canada could play its traditional helpful role in international affairs if we had a way to talk to those guys.
Thanks in part to Canada's Conservatives, we don't. They should at least admit that Mr. Layton was right! But don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen either.
The kind of postwar peace & democracy that once followed convincing defeat in the field, such as happened in Western Europe and Japan after WW II, appears now to be a thing of the past. In very few of the conflicts Western nations have engaged in since 1945, has the military outcome really settled things. Case in point: the Korean Peninsula remains in a technical state of war, as it has since the armistice of 1953, and now that situation once again threatens to escalate from "technical" to "actual". The US bugged out of South Vietnam in 1973; that rump state collapsed under the weight of Northern arms two years later and is now no more. Argentina has never given up its claim to the Falkland Islands (or Islas Malvinas as they call them). Afghanistan was never truly pacified, and neither was Iraq (probably the most ill-considered invasion in modern times). The Balkan states are finally at peace, 20 years after the vicious internecine wars of the mid-90s, but I don't really think American and allied (including Canadian) intervention, however well-intentioned and justified, can be credited with that outcome, so much as simple fatigue.
At some point in any war, the warring parties need to sit down across from each other and talk about how to shut it down. The kind of unconditional surrender that ended WW II is no longer a solution. Peace in Afghanistan will therefore mean talking to the Afghan belligerents, and that means the Taliban.
so, after all this years you didn't grasp the main motive and reason of the western intervention and forced removal of islamic fundamentalist political movement from official ruling power in Afghanistan?
as for Jack Layton, well, his rise at the particular moment was conditioned not by his outstanding wisdom but rather by never seen before, weakness of liberal party.
Was it the same as "the main motive and reason of the western intervention and forced removal of" the previous secular government?
Tell us please what you think is this "main motive", and on what basis you hold this belief. Then derive from that some reason why the Pashtun are a people so uniquely evil that they can not be mentioned?
I do not think you can. Horse's asses are rarely capable of supporting their bluster, except with more bluster.
they were a lone government in the world, who did provide official legal safe shelter for Al-Qaeda, after terror act which in single day took the lives of 3000 civilians.
back in 1938 in Europe was one infamous politician, who did tried to appease Nazi.
it seems "progressive" minds couldn't learn from history.
sure, WWII was inevitable but what Chamberlain did in Munich, it's an encouragement of the Nazi to more bold move in shorter period of time. as well as selective declaration of war on 03/09/1939 against the Germany but not against the Russia, albeit invasion of Poland was arranged simultaneosly from both countries.
appease of taliban, proposed by Jack Layton could similarly viewed as encouragement not by talibans only but by other hostile to the West islamist regimes.
quote still pretty much actual today not just for european but for the rest of western civilization, including Canada.
The Wall Street Journal published a report last week, quoting an official of the Trump Administration that the White House was also considering complete withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan. Though later on, contradictory reports appeared indicating that the strategy was still unclear but if America really wants complete withdrawal of her troops from Afghanistan and announces as such, the Islamic Emirate readily hails this position and would like to discuss all negotiable issues with them.
The Afghan war is the longest war of American history. They have spent 780 billion dollars so far but notwithstanding that, America has established a government in Afghanistan which is the most corrupt at world's level. Oppression, injustice, production and trafficking of drugs, religious and ethnic differences, kidnapping and robberies have become order of the day under the very title of democracy.
The war in Afghanistan can be likened to a quagmire. Even if America spends that much amount of money and time already spent and passed, they would ultimately come to conclusion that this was a meaningless and back-breaking war. It has no military solution because America is not facing a group in the country but an entire nation.
At present, more than half of the population of Afghanistan are living under the administration of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan but still the Islamic Emirate has never resorted to creating internal problems for any country in the world including the invading countries. This is because interference in the internal affairs of other countries is not policy of the Islamic Emirate. We have practically proven this over the past one and a half decade. What we want is but independence of our country and a system based on our beliefs. This is our legitimate right. We are continuing our peaceful political and jihadic efforts for obtainment of the aforementioned objectives.
American generals are giving unrealistic hope to the American people and the US president that they will succeed in Afghanistan, if authorized to send more troops or American militias of Black water. Granted, even if this military strategy is carried out, it will only prolong the war but will not bring it to an end. Afghans are neither desperate nor fatigued in their efforts for obtainment of freedom of their country.
The Islamic Emirate wants a real solution of the Afghan issue. If America really wants to end the war and explore a realistic solution then should consider withdrawal of troops.

Gionee to Manufacture Phones in India with Dixon Technologies & Foxconn
Gionne has announced its partnership with Foxconn and Dixon Technologies to manufacture mobile phones in India as a part of 'Make in India' campaign. Under the 'Make in India' campaign there are many other many manufacturers who showed interest in manufacturing the devices in India. Last month, Xiaomi unveiled its first 'Made in India' smartphone Redmi 2 Prime that was manufactured in partnership with Foxconn.
Earlier Gionee is one of the ODM's (Original Device Manufacturer) who used to manufacture mobile phones for other brands. The company came up with its own branded mobiles in the year 2013, even though there are many other manufacturers who sells the Gionee smartphone under their brand names like BLU, AllView, Himax, Walton and many others.
As of now the company is importing the mobiles directly from China which makes the devices cost higher with the additional taxes. With the Made in India smartphones, the prices of the smartphones can be slightly lower when compared to the imported units, which indirectly benefits the end consumers with low-priced devices.
Initially, the company will be investing $50 Million (Rs. 318 crores) in the next three years in India. With more investments in R&D team, the company plans to make the Gionee's Amigo UI more customized for the Indian customers.
As of now, the company only manufacturers the new F series and P series smartphone in India along with featured phones. The Foxconn's local manufacturing plant in Sri City, Andhra Pradesh will be manufacturing the smartphones while the Dixon Technologies Noida plant will manufacture the featured phones along with few other smartphones.
Both the plants will start manufacturing the Gionee smartphone starting from October. When combined both the plants can manufacture more than 1.2 Million products per month. William Lu, President, Gionee, said, "India market is second home market to Gionee after China and the investment in India manufacturing is just another step in a line up of much more to come for the Indian market and customers."
Arvind Vohra, CEO & MD, Gionee India, said "Make in India as an initiative gives an opportunity to not only take Gionee as brand ahead but also to be actively able to participate in the growth of our economy through various touch points. We are happy to have partnered with the best in business including Foxconn and Dixon and sure that this step will prove to be instrumental in the brand's future."
With many manufacturers showing positive intent towards the 'Make in India' campaign, we can assure it can achieve its goals like Job Creation, Economic Development, and Global Recognition. It is also featured in "100 Most Innovative Global Projects." Stayed tuned for more information about the Make in India impact on the Indian mobile phone industry.

Q: How to evaluate $\lim_{x\to 1^-} \, e^{\frac{3}{1-x}}$? What steps are needed to evaluate the following?
$\lim_{x\to 1^-} \, e^{\frac{3}{1-x}}$
I know that the answer is $\infty$ but I don't know how to get there.
Thanks
P.S. I want to learn how to fish and not be given the fish so any generalized tips are welcome.

A: $$
Y=\lim_{x\to 1^-} \, e^{\frac{3}{1-x}}
$$
$$
ln(Y)=\lim_{x\to 1^-} \, {\frac{3}{1-x}} ln(e)=\lim_{x\to 1^-} \, {\frac{3}{1-x}}
$$

A: Show you that for every $\varepsilon > 0$ there is an $X < 1$ such that if $x \leq X$ then
$$e^{\frac{3}{1-x}} > \varepsilon.$$
To see this, note that
$$x \leq X \Rightarrow e^{\frac{3}{1-x}} > \varepsilon$$
is equivalent to
$$e^{\frac{3}{1-x}} \geq e^{\frac{3}{1-X}} > \varepsilon,$$
so that the choice
$$X := 1 - \frac{3}{\log 2\varepsilon}$$
suffices.

A: Substituting $u=\frac{3}{1-x}$ yields that $$\lim_{x\to 1} \, e^{\frac{3}{1-x}} = \lim_{u\to\infty}e^u = \infty$$ since if you let $x\to1$ in the expression for $u$, then $u$ will approach $\infty$.

The project was designed to improve the quality of teaching and learning science and mathematics subjects in secondary schools in the country through the use of multimedia enhanced content. Through this project, a total of 70 topics and 147 subtopics from the curriculum of secondary education were developed and enhanced with various multimedia elements.
The developed multimedia enhanced content was packed into 2,500 Digital Versatile Disc (DVDs) and uploaded into a customized Moodle Learning Management System (LMS) accessible via http://retooling.udsm.ac.tz. The content was also used to train a total of 2,000 teachers from 858 schools in 13 regions.
The main objective of the ICT Retooling project was to improve the quality of teaching and learning in science and mathematics subjects in secondary schools in the country. It was designed to use the latest ICT to upgrade subject content knowledge of secondary school science and mathematics teachers on the topics perceived as difficult. The University of Dar es Salaam College of ICT (CoICT) developed and integrated the multimedia elements to create the multimedia enhanced content in the selected difficult topics.
The content was digitized and enhanced with various multimedia in order to facilitate self-learning. The developed multimedia enhanced content was packed into 2,500 Digital Versatile Disc (DVDs) and uploaded into the customized Moodle Learning Management System (LMS) (http://retooling.udsm.ac.tz). The content was also used to train a total of 2,000 teachers in 19 selected centres countrywide. In selecting teachers for the retooling project, an examination (pre-test) was given to 3,500 teachers in the selected centers. Out of 3,500 teachers, 2,000 teachers who could not do well in the pre-test examination were selected.


Community members braved a spring ice storm to discuss taking action on climate change at the April instalment of York University's Community Conversation series.
Vanier scholar and Communication and Culture PhD candidate Tyrone Hall moderated the event, titled "Talking Climate Change: Challenges and Opportunities for Action." Hosted at the Toronto Public Library Wychwood Branch on April 14, the conversation framed climate change as an urgent global challenge that humanity must think about more comprehensively to boost engagement and effectively mitigate and adapt to current and projected impacts.
The Community Conversation also promoted dialogue among community members. Hall referenced his global field insights from the Pacific, Indian-Sub-Continent, and Central America to highlight and engage the participants about the gendered effects of climate change. The conversation, which was framed not only as a scientific or economic issue but also an issue of social justice, with racial and class implications, resonated with the audience.
Hall also advocated that conversations about climate change should be strategically presented in a way that connects people to local effects and the impact on their lives.
For more information on the program, visit the Community Conversations website.
