High Court To Hear Arguments Over Executions Moratorium
Aapo Haapanen
A legal battle over Gov. Tom Wolf's seven-month death penalty moratorium lands in the state's Supreme Court on Thursday.
The court's ruling could disrupt Wolf's plans to continue issuing reprieves to death row inmates, at least until a state task force finishes studying capital punishment in Pennsylvania.
The governor's first reprieve came in February for inmate Terrance Williams, sentenced to death for killing a man in 1984. The Philadelphia District Attorney's office challenged the reprieve, saying it can't be an open-ended ruling absent specific consideration of the inmate. The governor countered that his actions are supported by the constitution and history.
Bruce Ledewitz, a professor at Duquesne University School of Law, has said case law requires a reprieve to be for a definite time and purpose.
"The governor defined the purpose – to wait," said Ledewitz. "The question is whether the reprieve has something to do with the particular prisoner who gets the reprieve."
In June, Wolf postponed the death of a second inmate, Hubert Lester Michael, who was convicted in 1993 of raping and killing a 16-year-old girl. He never contested his guilt or the judgment.
The high court will hear oral arguments in Philadelphia.

Wolf's veto tally grew extensively during the pandemic and will likely expand during his final 13 months in office, as Republicans continue to largely bypass his agenda.
Pittsburgh could make $200 million from the GOP convention, but there's no guarantee

Pittsburgh is in the running to host the Republican National Convention in 2024, but how much the city could make from the event is still unclear.

The existential crisis of aging has been fertile ground for pseudoscience for centuries. One of the current-day embodiments of this is the antiaging clinic, which often use unsupported and potentially dangerous interventions.
"The most financially rewarding antiaging therapy is growth hormone administration; it's a billion-dollar industry," said Nir Barzilai, MD, director of the Institute for Aging Research at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, New York.
As Barzilai explained, this is directly in contrast with the latest data, which show that growth hormone probably shortens lives. Human growth hormone converts to insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) after being administered. Research by Barzilai and others, though, shows that low levels of IGF-1 are actually predictive of living longer.[28,29]
"The science tells you that if you give this hormone, you're going to get in trouble," Barzilai said. "We have shown in 700 centenarians and their families that the women with the lowest IGF-1 levels survive the longest."
Hormone replacement therapy is another cornerstone of the antiaging clinic. For female patients, this primarily takes the form of estrogen and progesterone replacement. Such therapies were standard practice for menopausal patients in the 1980s and 1990s, but usage rates came crashing down in 2002, when the Women's Health Initiative study[30] showed an increased risk for breast cancer and stroke in those taking combinations of these therapies.
"Since estrogen stopped being recommended to postmenopausal women, breast cancer incidence in the United States has dropped by 25%," said Barzilai. He explained that there is still some question about whether estrogen can be safely administered to women in the 50- to 60-year-old age range, but beyond that point, its dangers are real.
Barzilai and his colleagues are at the vanguard of research into aging, and he believes the future looks bright for interventions that might actually lessen its burdens. He expressed disappointment that the term "antiaging" has been sullied by a group of practitioners who be doing more harm than good.
"When you people who claim things related to aging, if the patients die, nobody sues them," said Barzilai. "You can take a skin cream for 2 weeks and know whether it's working or not. But if somebody says, this is what will keep you healthy and give you longevity, and the patient dies, then those charlatans will continue."
There are signs of potential pushback. In June, Kentucky suspended the medical director of the antiaging clinic 25 Again from prescribing hormone therapy. She was accused of giving thyroid and testosterone hormones to patients with normal levels of both, and otherwise posing a risk by deviating from standard practices. The clinic she operated, however, is still up and running.[31]

Q: What is the value of $|\mathbb U|$, where $\mathbb{U}$ is universal set? $A$ and $B$ are subsets of $\mathbb U$ universal set.
$|A-B| = 3$
$|B| = 7$
$|A' \cap B'| = 2$
According to this, what is the value of $|\mathbb U|$?
I know that
$$|A' \cap B'| = |A \cup B|'$$
I'm so confused right now. Can you assist?

A: Draw a Venn diagram. There will be four distinct sections. Let $a$ be the number of elements that are only in $A$, $b$ the number of elements that are only in $B$, $c$ the number of elements that are in both $A$ and $B$, and $d$ be the elements that are not in $A$ or in $B$. We want to find $|\mathbb{U}|$, which is just the sum $a+b+c+d$.
Then
\begin{align*}
|A-B|=3 &\implies a=3 \\
|B|=7 &\implies b+c=7 \\
|A'\cap B'| = 2 &\implies d=2
\end{align*}
so that $|\mathbb{U}|=a+(b+c)+d=3+7+2=12$.

A: First,$$|\mathbb{U} \cap B'|=|B'|=|\mathbb{U}|-|B|=|\mathbb{U}|-7. \tag 1$$
But $\mathbb{U}=A \cup A'$ and $A-B = A \cap B'$. Therefore,
$$|\mathbb{U} \cap B'|=|(A \cup A')\cap B'|=|(A \cap B') \cup (A' \cap B')|=|A \cap B')| + |A' \cap B'|=5. \tag 2$$
Using $(1)$ and $(2)$, we get $|\mathbb{U}|=5+7=12$.

A: Simple:
$$|A-B| = 3, |B| = 7 \Rightarrow |A\cup B| = 10$$,
$$|\mathbb{U}| = |A\cup B| + |A' \cap B'| = 12$$

A: $A\cup B=(A\setminus B)\cup B$ and $(A\setminus B)\cap B=\phi$, so $$|A\setminus B|+|B|=|A\cup B|$$. Also $(A^c\cap B^c)=(A\cup B)^c$.So $$|U|=|A\cup B|+|(A\cup B)^c|=|A\setminus B|+|B|+|A^c\cap B^c|=3+7+2=12$$

The most basic aspect of face perception is simply detecting the presence of a face, which requires the extraction of features that it has in common with other faces. Putatively, it is caused by matching high-dimensional sensory input with internal face templates, achieved through a top-down mediated coupling between prefrontal regions and brain areas in the ventral temporal cortex ("core system of face perception"). Illusory face detection tasks can be used to study these top-down influences. In the present functional magnetic resonance imaging study, we showed that illusory face perception activated just as real faces the core system, albeit with atypical left-lateralisation of the occipital face area (OFA). The core system was coupled with two distinct brain regions in the lateral prefrontal (inferior frontal gyrus, IFG) and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). A Dynamic Causal Modelling (DCM) analysis revealed that activity in the core system during illusory face detection was upregulated by a modulatory face-specific influence of the IFG, not as previously assumed by the OFC. Based on these findings, we were able to develop the most comprehensive neuroanatomical framework of illusory face detection until now.

Train is a multi-GRAMMY and Billboard award-winning band from San Francisco, CA that has had 14 songs on Billboard's Hot 100 list since the release of their debut self- titled album. Train's climb to the top began in San Francisco in 1994, going on to tenaciously building a loyal following, leading up to their own self- titled debut album, released by Columbia in 1998. The tumbling wordplay of "Meet Virginia" gave them their first radio hit and 2001's Drops Of Jupiter broke them to multi-platinum status thanks to the double-GRAMMY award-winning title song that spent 10 months in the Top 40, and snaring the Best Rock Song GRAMMY award by beating out Coldplay and two U2 songs. The group won another GRAMMY award in 2011 for their global hit "Hey Soul Sister," the #1 best-selling smash and most downloaded single of 2010, from their multi-platinum album Save Me, San Francisco.
Next was 2012's California 37, which launched the hit "Drive By" reaching the Top 10 in 13 countries. They've sold more than 10 million albums worldwide, more than 30 million tracks, with multiple platinum/gold citations, including 3 GRAMMY awards, 2 Billboard Music Awards and dozens of other honors. In 2014 Bulletproof Picasso—the band's 7th studio album—debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard Top 200 and earned rave reviews.
Most recently, Train has re-released their well-received holiday album, Christmas in Tahoe, which brings their signature sound to holiday classics as well as several original songs. On Jan. 27th 2017, the band released their 8th studio album, a girl a bottle a boat, via Columbia Records which spawned the lead single, "Play That Song," hitting Top 5 on the iTunes chart, Top 10 at Hot AC radio, and charting at Adult Top 40.
Train frontman, Pat Monahan, partakes in other ventures outside of music with his newly launched Drops of Jupiter® wine portfolio. Proceeds from the wine support Family House, a San Francisco charity that supports families of children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. Train's 2016 project, Does Led Zeppelin II, a cover album in tribute of their favorite band saw 100% of the band's proceeds going to Family House.

Q: ACF Taxonomy Object term Null I'm using the Advanced Custom Fields plugin to place a taxonomy checkbox on certain pages.
This checkbox will filter the data that is pulled through etc on that page.
Using the example found on the ACF website (which aims at using the term object output) -
<?php

$terms = get_field('taxonomy_field_name');

if( $terms ): ?>

<?php foreach( $terms as $term ): ?>

<?php echo $term->name; ?>

<?php echo $term->description; ?>

<?php endforeach; ?>

<?php endif; ?>

I can't seem to get any data to come through and when i var dump the variable, all i am left with is NULL. This code example above has been placed in the pages normal loop etc. If i change the output to show the ID however, i can see the category ID for each of the selected checkboxes.
Is there any reason why the object term would be coming up as a null array instead of showing me the slug names etc?
Many thanks

A: Many ACF fields give you an option of what sort of data you want returned from the field. The default for the taxonomy field is Term ID, while the example code you have is for field set to return Term Object. You can change this setting under the field group in the Custom Fields admin menu page.

A: if I recall correctly, get_field() simply returns the value of the field, not the actual term object. try using this with get_term() (or get_term_by() depending on your needs/preference).

"As global passenger traffic continues to increase, it is increasingly important that border agencies work closely with airlines, airports and technology suppliers to enhance the passenger experience without compromising security," says Tony Smith, managing director of Fortinus Ltd and the former director general of the UK Border Force.
How to deliver enhanced security while improving customer service to ensure a more seamless, efficient passenger experience will be a key discussion throughout the Aviation Security, Border Control and Facilitation session taking place at Passenger Terminal Conference on March 10-12 in Paris, France.
In his paper entitled 'Integrated border management: a vision for the future' on Wednesday March 11, Smith says he will share the lessons learned from big events of the past; the latest international thinking on border strategies; and how the public sector and the private sector can work together to deliver integrated border management systems in the future. His presentation will also look at identity management at borders, registered traveler programs and automated border controls.
However, airports are warned to be wary of technology vendors 'over delivering' with regard to security solutions. In his presentation entitled 'Swimming with sharks – cutting through security system marketing hype', Hunter Fulghum, principal consultant at Arts & Engineering PLLC, will examine the base state of aviation technology and present ideas and information to help airports cut through the hype to get a better understanding of what is practical and what is appropriate. "The marketing of technology as the solution to security challenges in the aviation market has added to the challenges of selecting solutions that are both operationally effective and cost effective," he states.
With expert voices from all sides – airports, airlines, security consultants and technology vendors – Passenger Terminal Conference offers fast-track access to the latest security and border control thinking. Register now to guarantee your place and click here to see the full program.

Numbers game: A deeper look into the numbers from UConn's season-opening win over CCSU
GT Insider
By David Borges Nov. 26, 2020 Updated: Nov. 26, 2020 6:15 p.m.
A deeper look inside the numbers of UConn's season-opening, 102-75 win over Central Connecticut State.
CCSU's field-goal percentage on Wednesday. That's pretty much unacceptable, and Dan Hurley was quite vocal about it afterwards.
The Blue Devils shot 47-percent from 3-point range, but even worse, were 51-percent from 2. Far too many 6-2 guards were able to drive past UConn defenders and get to the rim relatively unobstructed.
"UConn should not allow Central Connecticut's guards to get wherever they wanted on the floor," said Hurley. "And that went on for a while."
6-FOOT-5.4
The average height of UConn's starting lineup on Wednesday. The Huskies went small, with 6-1 R.J. Cole, 6-3 Jalen Gaffney and 6-5 James Bouknight in the backcourt, along with 6-9 wing Tyler Polley and 6-9 center Isaiah Whaley.
A smaller, quicker lineup made sense against a CCSU team that didn't feature a player taller than 6-7. But that wasn't why Hurley went with this starting five.
"The lineup was more of a reflection on trying to get the most experienced guys on the court," Hurley said.
He added that Brendan Adams wasn't really "startable" because of the restrictions he's had in practice coming off of summer foot surgery. Freshman Andre Jackson is also behind after a "brutal summer, brutal preseason" missing a lot of time following knee surgery. And junior transfer Tyrese Martin had to sit out a one-game NCAA suspension for playing in an unauthorized summer league game.
"So, our hands were kind of tied," Hurley said.
But don't think he's married to this smaller lineup — or any lineup, really.
"It may be a much different lineup Friday, or a different lineup Friday, two weeks from now, once we are able to get more work in," he noted. "I wouldn't read too much into who started this first one."
That was Josh Carlton's playing time. Two minutes, 41 seconds. He popped off the bench about midway through the first half, committed a couple of fouls, hit a couple of free throws and never returned — even for garbage time. It was basically Sidney Wilson minutes.
The 6-foot-11 center had started every game the past two seasons and 66 in a row. He had shed about 25 pounds over the offseason after a disappointing junior year and appeared ready to make amends. But it's clear that Carlton (never a perfect fit for Hurley's idea of a more athletic, running team) hasn't stood out in practice. It's also clear that he has severe competition for minutes in the form of freshman Adama Sanogo, who had eight points and seven boards in 17 minutes on Wednesday.
"Josh has got a battle right now," Hurley said. "He's got competition for minutes that he hasn't had to deal with since he's been here. He's good enough to be a factor and really help our team, he's just got to battle and add such value that we're forced to play him."
Of Sanogo's seven rebounds on Wednesday, five were offensive. The 6-9, 240-pound freshman has great hands and a real nose for the ball, especially off the glass.
Hurley wasn't happy with anyone on his team after the game ("Defensively he was lost, offensively he was lost"), but Sanogo looks to be a major contributor this season. Hurley did compare him to "a 6-9 version of Jerry Walker," Hurley's former teammate at Seton Hall.
Official attendance listed on Wednesday night's box score — basically just family members of coaches and players. Ah, 2020.

Just Transitions
Southern California Law Review, Vol. 92, No. 101, 2019

The transition to a low-carbon society will have winners and losers as the costs and benefits of decarbonization fall unevenly on different communities. This potential collateral damage has prompted calls for a "just transition" to a green economy. While the term, "just transition," is increasingly prevalent in the public discourse, it remains under-discussed and poorly defined in legal literature, preventing it from helping catalyze fair decarbonization. This Article seeks to define the term, test its validity, and articulate its relationship with law so the idea can meet its potential.
The Article is the first to disambiguate and assess two main rhetorical usages of "just transition." I argue that legal scholars should recognize it as a term of art that evolved in the labor movement, first known as a "superfund for workers." In the climate change context, I therefore define a just transition as the principle of easing the burden decarbonization poses to those who depend on high-carbon industries. This definition provides clarity and can help law engage with fields that already recognize just transitions as a labor concept.
I argue further that the labor-driven just transition concept is both justified and essential in light of today's deep political polarization and "jobs-versus-environment" tensions. First, it can incorporate much-needed economic equity considerations into environmental decision-making. Second, it can inform a modernized alternative to the environmental law apparatus, which must evolve to transcend disciplines. Third, it offers an avenue for climate reform through coalition-building between labor and environmental interests. I offer guidance for effectuating the principle by synthesizing instances of its embodiment in law in the Trade Adjustment Assistance Act of 1974 (assisting manufacturing communities), the President's Northwest Forest Plan (assisting timber communities), the Tobacco Transition Payment Program (assisting tobacco farmers), and the POWER Plus Plan (assisting coal communities), among other examples.
Keywords: decarbonization, climate change, rural development, land use, labor law, fossil fuels, environmental law, environmental justice

It's beautiful, but where do I begin?
In addition to selling polish pottery on our website, we also take our pottery to Pittsburgh area craft and vendor shows throughout the fall and spring. We are always surprised by the number of people who have not only seen polish pottery before, but have large collections of it in their homes. Their eyes light up when they spot our tables of polish pottery and they excitedly talk to us about the pieces they already own and the pieces they still want for their collections.
1) Pattern- There are hundreds of different patterns to choose from, each one prettier than the last. But keep in mind that mixing and matching patterns is not only allowed, it's encouraged! So don't think that the first pattern you buy is the only pattern you'll ever own. You can mix and match as many different patterns as you like. Don't over think it, just pick one that you really like and go for it. It will mix perfectly with whatever patten you buy for your second piece. I promise!
2) Shape – Polish Pottery is available in everything from plates to bowls, mugs to teapots, and crosses to candle holders. One of the wonderful things about polish pottery is its versatility. Bowls make a great first purchase, whether large or small. Use the larger ones as serving bowls or put them in the middle of your dining room table for display. The small ones are extremely versatile. Use them for dips, condiments, or even as candy dishes.
Another great thing about polish pottery is its durability. Everything is microwaveable, oven safe, and dishwasher safe. So choose a mug for your morning coffee, knowing that you can safely reheat it multiple times in the microwave. Or select an 8″ square baker, knowing that you can bake everything from appetizers to desserts in it. What if you really want a piece of polish pottery but you don't cook much or entertain people in your home very often? Consider a soap dispenser for the bathroom. Or select a napkin holder that will double on your desk as a mail holder.
But the very best advice I can give you is this…select the piece that makes YOU happy. There are no rules. There are no right or wrong answers. Choose the piece and pattern that speaks to you the most. And rest assured, there will be more beautiful pieces available for you to choose from when you are ready to purchase your second piece of pottery!

We've had some beautiful fall weather these last couple of weekends. This past Saturday, we decided to spend the morning at a local farm. The kids had a wonderful time seeing the goats, finding their way through the straw maze, and especially picking apples. Perhaps we were a little overzealous in our apple picking. When we made our way up to the cashier, she told us we had over 50 pounds of apples! Yikes! Now I'm on a hunt for good apple recipes so I can hopefully use up a lot of these up before they go bad.
First on my list…a delicious Apple Crumble from the pages of a cookbook from my childhood church. I think the most complicated part of this recipe is peeling and slicing all the apples. It's good all by itself, but I like to make it even better by serving it warm and topped with vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine cinnamon and brown sugar in a bowl.
Line the sliced apples in a 9×13 baking dish that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
Sprinkle with 1/2 of the cinnamon-brown sugar mixture.
Combine white sugar, flour, egg, salt, and baking powder. Spread over the apple slices.
Sprinkle with remaining cinnamon-brown sugar mixture. Pour melted butter or margarine over the top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.
Nothing says Fall like the smell and taste of pumpkin. I went on allrecipes.com to find a good pumpkin dessert, and found this recipe for iced pumpkin cookies. They sounded easy and delicious, so I thought I would give them a try. And I'm so glad I did! They were simple to make and oh so yummy! Not to mention the fact that our house smelled so good all evening.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt; set aside.
In a medium bowl, cream the 1/2 c. butter and white sugar. Add the pumpkin, egg and 1 teasp. vanilla to the butter mixture and beat until creamy. Mix in dry ingredients.
Drop onto cookie sheet using tablespoon, and flatten slightly. Bake for 15 – 20 minutes (mine were definitely done in 15 minutes).
To make glaze: Combine all glaze ingredients together. Add more or less milk as needed to create drizzling consistency.
First, let me apologize for the time that has elapsed since my last posting. My life became a bit busy in the months immediately following my Earth Day post. You may recall a much earlier post on this blog where I talked about the many times my family and I have moved. I talked about what it meant to live somewhere for more than 3 years (our record at that point). I referenced our desire to stay put, make our house our home, and settle in. Well, perhaps putting those ideas in writing was just too much temptation for fate. Because after Year Four in Pittsburgh, we decided to make the move back to Maryland! We packed up our belongings again, (along with those pictures I lovingly hung on the dining room wall), loaded a moving truck, rented a house, and started over again in our new town. We've been here for about 2 months, and it's been an adjustment for everyone. But now that school has started and our boxes are unpacked, (well, some of them anyway), I'm finding time to resume some of my previous activities. So be on the lookout for more recipes, more polish pottery, and new stories about our life here in Maryland.
Earth Day is this Sunday, April 22nd. I would like to say that I have big Green plans for that day, like planting a tree or buying a Prius. But I don't. Now, don't misunderstand me. I am not anti-earth day, or anti-green. I try to be green. I have reusable bags, we have a low-flush toilet in our powder room, and I try to remember to turn off the water while I'm brushing my teeth. But I have a confession to make…being Green doesn't come naturally to me. I'm trying, but it's really hard.
Here's a perfect example. We live only a few blocks from my son's school, in a school district where there are no busses. Everyone walks to school. Well, everyone is supposed to walk to school. But in reality, some kids walk to school while many others are driven to school by their parents. Sounds ridiculous right? The school district is 1 mile total. It doesn't take that long to walk to school, no matter where you live. And as I said, the distance to school from our house in only a few blocks. I wish I could tell you that I've never driven him to school. I wish I could say that we ALWAYS walk, regardless of rain, cold temperatures, or how late we are. I guess I could say that we always walk, but then I would be lying. Am I embarrassed by this? Yes, I am. Does that stop my from driving him? No, it does not. Because while I have the best of intentions, there are still those moments when my 4 year old daughters are still wearing the pjs, we are very close to being late, and it's pouring down rain. On those days, it is so much easier to toss the kids in the car and drive to the school.
The problem is that my weakness for driving has not gone unnoticed by my children, especially Daughter B. Everyone says that she takes after her father, and she does in almost every way. Every way, except for one. Mark loves to walk. He would walk for hours and miles. He has made me walk all over every major city we've visited, from San Francisco in the rain to Paris in the snow. He walks everywhere he can. I, however, do not love walking and neither does Daughter B. She hates to walk even more than I do…and that says something. And so it goes that on the mornings when I do decide that we will walk to school, she is quick to complain.
"NOOOOO, we don't walk. We take car!!!!!!" She screams at me as I drag her out the door (and she continues to scream this at me halfway down the street).
This interaction does nothing to strengthen my walking resolve.
"No, remember what Sid said?" I ask her, thinking that this one sentence is the answer to all my prayers.
For a moment, I'm confused. Then I realize that we have a communication problem.
"No sweetie, Sid didn't say walk then drive, he said, 'it's better to walk than drive.' " I try to explain. But she doesn't understand the difference between these two words and bursts into tears as she realizes that we are, in fact, walking. She cries the entire way there and I grow more and more frustrated as I try explaining the English language to her. Thanks for nothing, Sid.
It's not that I don't understand that driving the car to the school is bad for the environment. I understand that walking is better than driving. I also understand that buying local produce is better, and using eco friendly cleaning products is better. I understand it and I really do want to live a greener life. But what I've come to realize is this: The decision to be green does not, by itself, make you green. There's the decision to be green, and then there's the commitment to being green…and those are two very different things.
And isn't that the truth about most things in life. I've decided on more than one occasion to lose 15 pounds. But guess what? Those 15 pounds are still here. Because the decision alone doesn't make those 15 pounds go away. And until I'm actually committed to losing them, they will continue to hang around. Deciding something is really just about intention. I have the intention to lose 15 pounds, I have the intention to exercise more. I also have the intention to be a better parent, the intention to procrastinate less and stop wasting time on Facebook and web surfing. I have the intention to be green and take care of the earth. But the intention alone, the decision alone, just doesn't cut it. Because all of those things take a daily commitment. They require action, not just thought. If I really want to exercise more (and procrastinate less and be green all at the same time), I need to get up from my desk, put on my tennis shoes, and walk to the local farmers' market where I can buy some locally grown produce. Just sitting here and thinking about it makes me feel good but doesn't achieve anything.
Real commitment to anything doesn't just happen once. You have to recommit to it again and again by the decisions you make. Does that mean that one poor decision means you've failed at your commitment? If I drive the kids to school once in a while instead of walking, does that mean that I've completely failed at being green? Not any more then eating a cookie once in a while means that I've failed at leading a healthy life (not that I'm claiming to lead an incredibly healthy life, but that's a blog post for another day!). For me, being green isn't about one decision…it's about the sum of all my decisions. Every decision I make is an opportunity to be green. Sometimes I'll choose the green option, and sometimes I won't. But with every decision, every choice, I get the chance to try again.
I found this recipe for Caramel Popcorn in the October 2011 Real Simple magazine and had to try it out. It was wonderful! It was easy to make and oh so yummy! It's perfect for your next movie night or make it for your next party. You won't be disappointed.
The recipe says to make your popcorn on the stovetop but I cheated and used microwave popcorn.
First you make the popcorn and dump it into a bowl. Then you mix the butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup in a sauce pan over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes.
Stir in the vanilla and salt. Then pour it over the popcorn and toss it all together.
After it's tossed together, spread it on a baking sheet and bake it in a 300 degree oven for 30-35 minutes. (Mine was perfect in 30 minutes). Toss the popcorn once while it's baking. Allow it to cool on the baking sheet. The popcorn will crisp as it cools down. We only left it cool for 5 minutes or so because we couldn't resist tasting it! Delicious!
-Heat the oven to 300 degrees. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
– Pop the microwave popcorn.* Transfer to a bowl when done popping.
– In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture bubbles and lightens in color, 3-5 minutes. Stir in the vanilla and salt. Pour over the cooked popcorn and toss to coat using a rubber spatula (I used a wooden spoon).
– Spread the popcorn mixture on the baking sheet and bake, tossing once, until deep amber, 30-35 minutes. Remove from the oven, toss, and let cool on the baking sheet. (The popcorn will crisp as it cools).
The popcorn will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
*If making popcorn on the stovetop: Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the popcorn kernels, cover, and cook, shaking the saucepan constantly once the kernels begin to pop, until there is a 2-3 second interval between pops, 5 to 7 minutes.

Hard working. Self-directed. As they used to say, they're "good eggs".
And if you've ever spoken to someone from 4Patriots on the phone, I hope you'd say they're awful nice as well.
Each day, we get the privilege of serving so many of you, and helping you stay safe, self-reliant and independent.
My staff suggested we get out in the community to do some extra good work together as a group. So that's what we did.
We've decided that every few months, we're going to do something extra to support our main missions: protecting against insecurity of food, water or shelter, and giving back to the military vets who've given this country – and each of us – so much.
Last month, we chose The Little Pantry That Could, here in Nashville. This salt-of-the-earth charity gives those in need a chance to shop for shelf stable food, free of charge.
Let's get to work… You can feel the sense of community. And my staff gained so much more getting in there and organizing, stacking, distributing food and helping people in person than they would if we'd simply made a donation or wrote a check.
You may not have realized it, but you're doing much more than protecting yourself and your family when you support 4Patriots. You're making a difference and giving back, every day. And for that, you have the gratitude of me and my staff – and now some truly grateful folks here in Nashville too.
P.S. We continually give back to military veterans through our charitable work, and we've also added a new charity that retires medical debt for veterans who can't afford to pay their skyrocketing bills. Because RIP Medical Debt is able to buy debt for pennies on the dollar, our donations will free U.S. military personnel from about $100,000 in debt this year. Thank you!
Everybody here at the Kroger Family does pretty much the same thing as each store in each district partners with a local food pantry or veterans to supply bread and shelf items to those in need. Great Work!
i don't get that much in ssi not complaining! cause there are people way worse off than i could ever be unless things go to piece's. thats why i'm thankful for your 72 hour kits. i have bought only 7 and the free coffee& strawberries&the seed vault hopefully this year i will get my daughter to go in half and make abig purchase. so god bless all you do at FOOD4PATRIOTS and i will continue to buy as much as possible. THANK YOU FRANK AND FAMILY! LOVE what you stand for A very satisfied custermer!
Way to go… We need more folks like you to donate goods and services to help the less fortunate among us. Today we had the "Scouting For Food" drive held annually. All the local Boy Scout troops pick up canned food items that donors leave on their front porches. They take it to the local food banks where it is sorted and distributed to needy people. It is a Very successful event held every year. Thanks BSA.. and God bless good people like ypu everywhere.


I've done a bit of tweaking to the site to jazz it up a bit recently - streamlined it, added in some color, moved some stuff around, and added You Tube videos (that yours truly has taken). Granted, the videos are primarily of concerts (I do still work in Music), but it is only a matter of time before they become very focused on Asian matters. Oh, and yea, I sold out to the man and added Google AdSense so we'll see if I ever actually generate some money with this (that's not my purpose or anything ;).
The next month or two will be pretty slow as far as my Korea updates. I have decided to work with Ask Now Inc. to secure a position primarily, but I'm still keeping Flying Cows Consulting (based out the UK) as a backup just in case. I probably could go through any of the number of recruiters that email me daily, but they don't seem 100% legit. I'm entertaining their information, but I believe the safest bet is with Ask Now, plus they just seem like a fun tight knit group. I get a few emails a week from them with various information about moving to Korea, and I really do look forward to getting to know everyone involved. They have guaranteed me that I will have a job by August as long as I don't forget how to speak English and as long as I'm patient... so here's hoping.
Chinese internet has deemed blogs worthy for at least a day. So I got a chance to catch up, and all I gotta say is... Hurry up!
i'm trying! i'm working on a time machine to get me to august.

Kaspersky Lab Response to Issuance of DHS Binding Operational Directive 17-01
14Sep By admin
"Given that Kaspersky Lab doesn't have inappropriate ties with any government, the company is disappointed with the decision by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), but also is grateful for the opportunity to provide additional information to the agency in order to confirm that these allegations are completely unfounded.
No credible evidence has been presented publicly by anyone or any organization as the accusations are based on false allegations and inaccurate assumptions, including the claims about Russian regulations and policies impacting the company. Kaspersky Lab has always acknowledged that it provides appropriate products and services to governments around the world to protect those organizations from cyberthreats, but it does not have unethical ties or affiliations with any government, including Russia.
"In addition, more than 85 percent of its revenue comes from outside of Russia, which further demonstrates that working inappropriately with any government would be detrimental to the company's bottom line. These ongoing accusations also ignore the fact that Kaspersky Lab has a 20-year history in the IT security industry of always abiding by the highest ethical business practices and trustworthy technology development.
"Regarding the Russian polices and laws being misinterpreted, the laws and tools in question are applicable to telecom companies and Internet Service Providers (ISPs), and contrary to the inaccurate reports, Kaspersky Lab is not subject to these laws or other government tools, including Russia's System of Operative-Investigative Measures (SORM), since the company doesn't provide communication services.
Also, it's important to note that the information received by the company, as well as traffic, is protected in accordance with legal requirements and stringent industry standards, including encryption, digital certificates and more.
"Kaspersky Lab has never helped, nor will help, any government in the world with its cyberespionage or offensive cyber efforts, and it's disconcerting that a private company can be considered guilty until proven innocent, due to geopolitical issues. The company looks forward to working with DHS, as Kaspersky Lab ardently believes a deeper examination of the company will substantiate that these allegations are without merit." – Attributable to Kaspersky Lab

Q: Binary data truncate error in SQL Server I am trying to insert data into a temp table from a select query. I have almost 100 columns in my select query. How would I know or is there any trick by which I could know that a specific column is causing the binary data truncate error?
My query is like:
Insert into #t1
   Select t1, t2,....
   From Table1

What I thought out is to include additional column for each of my column which will give me length of column. But issue is I will having additional 100 columns in my select. Then I have to individually check for max size for each column.
Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

A: Instead of doing
Insert into #t1
Select t1, t2,....
From Table1

You can do:
Select t1, t2,....
into #t1
From Table1

And then you can check what happened with:
tempdb..sp_help #t1

That will show you the data types for each column.


• Fasting serum glucose values of 100 to 125 mg/dL are considered to be prediabetes to indicate that these values have an increased risk of progressing to diabetes by various pathophysiologic processes.
1. Typical symptoms of hyperglycemia, such as weight loss, polyuria, and polydipsia, associated with a casually found serum glucose value greater than 200 mg/dL.
2. Fasting serum (blood) glucose (FSG, FBG) value of 126 mg/dL or greater.
3. An FSG value of 200 mg/dL or greater obtained 2 hours after a 75-g glucose challenge (after 72 hours of eating 300 g of carbohydrate daily).
The diagnosis of GDM is made during pregnancy using specific criteria discussed later.
Glucose circulating in the blood enters red blood cells (RBCs) and reacts with the amino acid sequence of hemoglobin (Hb), resulting in a glycosylated product called hemoglobin A1c. The HbA1c value reflects the average FSG value of the prior 3 months that hemoglobin circulated in RBCs (given that RBCs have a mean half-life of 90 days). The HbA1c value has become extraordinarily useful in gauging the level of gly-cemic control, and values of 6.5% or greater are now being considered a level diagnostic of DM. However, the test has limitations as the result can be lowered by anemia, renal disease, and other disorders that shorten RBC survival (e.g., chronic disease, hemoglobinopathy). Some forms of hemoglobinopathy can also increase the HbA1c test despite near-normal glycemic control. The fructosamine test measures the glyco-sylation of albumin, which has a shorter circulating half life than hemoglobin, and may be used to resolve inconsistencies between average glucose values and HbA1c level, although this is related to the albumin concentration. Insulin and C-peptide levels are readily affected by the toxic effects of glucose and fatty acids on beta cells, making low levels difficult to interpret.
Fasting glucose values of 100 to 125 mg/dL are consistent with prediabetes and increase the risk of progressing to diabetes through various pathophysiologic processes. Finding these values allows the family physician to initiate prospective and preventive interventions. Participants in the Diabetes Prevention Program had impaired glucose tolerance, and those randomized to metformin or intensive lifestyle modification had reduced incidence of diabetes compared to those randomized to placebo (Knowler et al., 2002). Predictors of prediabetes changing to normal glucose regulation over 3-year follow-up included lower baseline fasting and 2-hour glucose levels, younger age, intensive lifestyle modification, and greater weight loss (Perreault et al., 2009).

The Matador of Tumbledown
First, before doing anything else, go and read this Patrick Cockburn report for the Indy on Iraq. It's the stuff all right - you may especially enjoy the account of the Americans who turned up to deal with a fight in a petrol queue, equipped with a 155mm self-propelled howitzer. Never bring a knife to a gun fight, they say, but it's worth remembering that waving guns around near a knife fight isn't too wise either, especially if you know you can't shoot them.
A "Shorter" for that article, I think, could almost be "what TYR said" - about the failure of the coalition to get population security, the crisis on the roads, the Freikorps temptation, and much more Iraq stuff I've blogged here. But enough of the twaddle. What's with the bizarre headline?
The US Marines recently ended an operation, Operation MATADOR, up near the Syrian border. Naturally the official line was that it was a roaring success. Caches of weapons found (125 AKs, not many in a country where everyone has one), 125 "anti-Iraqi forces" killed, blah blah blah. Not that you'd think so from reports by those much-maligned embedded reporters. Ellen Knickmeyer of the Washington Post did the trip, and reported back on the unit she was with having to break up a platoon after it took two-thirds casualties, the enemy firing 12.7 and 14.5mm machine guns up through the concrete floors of houses where they set up in the crawl space above the foundations and waited for death. Nine Marines were killed and some 40 wounded.
This was in an operation given out as involving 1,000 men. From that, I deduce, we are looking at one Marine Expeditionary Unit, that is to say a battalion of Marines plus a company of tanks, a few engineer, medic, supply, gunner and FAC elements. Compare, if you will, the battle of Mount Tumbledown in the Falklands. In that action, a battalion of Scots Guards lost nine men and 43 wounded, too, in storming the hilltop held by the Argentine 5th Marines' N Company. At Tumbledown, there were fewer British soldiers - a battalion of 600-700 men compared to 1,000+ in an MEU - and no armour or air support. And no-one who took part would ever suggest it was anything less than tough, especially not (say) the UK's last senior officer in Iraq, Lt-Gen. John Kiszely, who as a major led a bayonet charge up Tumbledown and won the Military Cross.
My point? Things are not getting better in Iraq. With M1A1 tanks, Bradleys, LAV25s, constant attack aviation and F/A18s overhead, the US Marines' sweep in comparable strength through Qaim was as bad as Tumbledown, a battle that induced the Scots Guards' piper to write a new lament. Imagine, if you will, backing into that rathole under the concrete floor with the machine gun, a Soviet copy of the Browning .50 that will shoot through anywhere you happen to be reading this unless you're in a concrete bunker or a tank. Listening for steps above, and pulling the trigger into a whole world of noise like hammering your own head in that confined space and stone chips and dust and smoke. Then doing it again, and knowing that in the end, they'd either realise where those bullets were coming from and drop a grenade down one of the new holes in the floor, or call in the jets, or bring up a Caterpillar D9 bulldozer and crush the building down on you. And remaining serene and calm.
Now imagine walking into that building just as the floor erupts. This is not winning. So, what is happening? Some fool at the New York Times wrote this week that the insurgency was a "mystery", in that the enemy were killing too many civilians and this didn't fit somebody's preconceived plan. There is no mystery. Their first aim is to maintain a high level of generalised violence and prevent stability emerging. Their next aim is to make the occupation intolerable to the occupier. Once we go, there will be plenty of time to work anything else out.
People often don't realise that Iraq is urban. A mass of urbanisation spreads out from Baghdad down to the shrine cities and up towards Tikrit in the north, and west along the road to Fallujah and the Jordanian border. Although the plurality is Shia, the bulk of this urban core is Sunni, and this is crucial to know. That fraction of the insurgency aims, once having got rid of the Americans, to dominate this area, to seize power, and then, only then, to look elsewhere. Controlling this area gives them command of what there is of the state, the former defence establishment, and their own people, as well as the symbols of Iraqi nationalism. It also gives them key infrastructure and the trade route out to Jordan. All they need then is a share of the oil. South of Baghdad, they will find it harder to make progress, as they will be running up the demographic hillside and into both the Badr Corps and Sadrist heartlands. The Sunni insurgents are probably more militarily capable, but don't have the numbers. Somewhere along the demographic transition line, the front will halt.
And then, I fear, comes the ethnic cleansing of Baghdad. It will be the obvious next step, and anyway many will flee and save them the trouble. That leaves out the Kurdish issue. In the first instance, the Kurds will be the only party who can deter a Battle of Baghdad. But they would be amenable to compromise, so long as they can arm like hell in the meantime. In fact, all sides will do that - the Kurds and Sunnis from the world market, the Shia from Iranian help. Kurdish/Sunni differences are fierce, but they are the soluble kind - they involve compromisable wealth, and hatred. The Sunni/Shia conflict is less soluble because the two parties have a survival problem, facing each other within Baghdad itself.
That brings us to a state of virtual civil war, if you like: three unstable stateoids, at least two still contesting the claim to be the real Iraqi government, buying all the guns they can and cherishing their vendettas. Any factor could start the second war, that is, if the first even stopped.
For extra points: the UN Drug Control Program says Iraq has become a major transit point for Afghan heroin. What connection does this have with Antonov 26A ER-AFH, "July Morning"?
EDIT: "July Morning" is ER-AFH and a -26A. My whoops.

Lost cats and missing keys top list of ridiculous 999 calls
Lewis Pennock
A worrying list of bizarre 999 calls from timewasters includes reports of a 'confused' horse and a complaint about too much sweetcorn on a pizza.
One caller dialled the emergency line after forgetting where their car was parked, while another asked police to kick a stray cat out of their house.
Thames Valley Police revealed the list after suggesting artificial intelligence could soon be used to handle some emergency calls - because operators are having their vital time wasted by daft calls.
They also hope sharing the details will warn the public against bogus calls and timewasting.
There was a report about a 'confused' looking horse in a field by the side of the road and while there was nothing to indicate horse was ill or in pain, it had a confused expression on its face.
One caller rang 999 to complain there was too much sweetcorn on his pizza, while another male caller lost his keys in a car park and wanted police to help in the search.
Late bus
A lady phoned to complain her National Express coach was 20 minutes late - and wanted police to tell her why.
In a separate call a coach driver rang because roads crew were laying tarmac and had set a diversion. He told the handler he paid his road tax and felt that the diversions should not apply to him.
Others include a diner dialling 999 over concerns about the quality of food which was being served to him, and a complaint about a cat which kept coming into a Sainsbury's store and appeared lost.
Another caller saw a 'rather forlorn' looking lady in the street and decided to give her £10 - but had a change of heart and wanted the money back.
There was a call from an man who lives in London who said he fell asleep on the last train and ended up in Slough - and wanted police to take him home.
One complaint was about a cat meandering in the vicinity of the Winnersh Triangle. It was a friendly cat who approaches people but it might be lost, the caller said.
'Wife left him'
Other bizarre calls which made the list included a sad man who said his wife left him the day before, he needed to leave college early to pick up his kids and wanted police to write a letter explaining why he needed to leave early.
A lady called in to complain that her housing association sent her two letters asking her if she would consider relocation to a smaller property. She said she had a three-bedroom house and lives alone, but did not want to move and did not appreciate being asked.
One caller purchased a curry from a local restaurant for home delivery, but he opened it and it spilt onto him causing a burn to his arm.
He called the restaurant and all they were doing was offering him a replacement which he did not think was good enough.
Another wanted police to fix the lifts in her block of flats because she did not want to wait until the next day for the lift engineers to attend.
Lost car
A dozy member of the public forgot where in the car-park they parked their car, another was being kept awake by the noise from a thunderstorm and wished to complain about it and a third had a headache and wasn't happy with a decorator because it had been caused by the paint fumes.
One caller complained next door's cat came into their house and didn't want to leave - before asking if police officers come and put the cat out.
Another wished to complain about the content provided by the BBC, specifically continual re-runs of 'Homes under the Hammer'.
There was a caller unhappy her pizza hadn't been delivered on time and was 10 minutes late, while another got on the wrong train and now has a 90 minute wait for the right train so asked police for a lift to Aldershot.
One man rang 999 on a Sunday afternoon because he did not like the sounds of the bagpipes being played by a busker.
And after one caller's shower was playing up, making a beeping noise, they asked police for advice because they were unsure whether to call a plumber or electrician.
Thames Valley Police has recently suggested a robocop-style call-handling system as the government looks at how artificial intelligence will change society.
In a submission to a parliamentary inquiry into the 'Implications of Artificial Intelligence', the force said the tech 'could perform many of the process-driven tasks that take place in the police'.
It said a 999 caller might even be able to describe an incident and be understood by artificial intelligence.
The submission added: "Speech analysis categorises the type of incident and detects indicators of stress from the caller. The date, time, location and offence details are recorded automatically.
"Solvability factors are calculated on the quality of the available data. The risk assessment provides a recommendation for officers on the next steps for the offender and also an appropriate support package for the victim."
The force said there would be need to be a 'high level of human oversight and clear justification'.

Q: Is one allowed to use capitalization for emphasis? In written English, is it okay to emphasize words by capitalizing them? As in:

I would NEVER do that!

Are there other methods to achieve this?
On an aside: Dutch uses acute accents for emphasis:

Ik zou dat nooit doen! [normal]
  Ik zou dat nóóit doen! [emphasized]

A: In non-electronic written English, capitalization is rarely used for emphasis. Much more common is italics or underlining. While underlining was very common in the age of the typewriter, word processing has made italics more accessible (it has long been the preferred technique for emphasis in printed materials).
In email and other electronic communication, capitalization is sometimes used, but it is generally considered akin to a loud voice, rather than an inflected voice. An entire sentence in caps is often called shouting, and is strongly discouraged.

A: It seems to me that the use of caps to indicate "shouting" is a matter of subjective preference. While there are cases when the overuse of caps is glaring, other times, it would seem to be more a matter of opinion. I try to refrain from the use, except for an occasional word or phrase. They are rendered more effective, in my OPINION, when they are employed with restraint.

A: "Written English" comes in many flavors: mainly formal and informal.
Capitalization rules are strictly adhered to in formal English writing. In informal written text, literary works can exercise certain license (see a related recent ELU post, Milnesian Capitals). Communications and conversational English is not that strictly governed by rules, but follows conventions instead. The Internet has its own etiquette & style-conventions.
A word in all uppercase is not used in formal written English.
It is a 'style' that is essentially seen in real-time electronic conversation ('chat') as a desperate measure to make oneself "heard" above the "din" (chat messages of others in the "room"). This practice is strongly discouraged and considered 'rude'.
