Freshman UConn basketball player James Bouknight appears in court, apologizes for incident
By Dom Amore
Hartford Courant |
VERNON — James Bouknight appeared before a judge Monday, apologized to all affected by the incident that led to his arrest and suspension from the UConn men's basketball team, and was accepted into the accelerated pretrial rehabilitation program at Rockville Superior Court.
"I'm extremely sorry for what happened," Bouknight told reporters in the lobby when the process was finished. "I'm learning from this. I'm learning I need to be the student, best athlete, best citizen I can be."
UConn basketball freshman James Bouknight turns himself in on warrant; charged with fleeing police, driving without license »
Bouknight, with attorney Rob Britt at his side, did not take any questions. He is expected to rejoin the Huskies and make his debut against Buffalo at the Charleston Classic on Thursday in South Carolina.
Under the terms of the accelerated rehabilitation program, Bouknight must stay out of trouble, no further arrests, and the charges, which include driving without a license, driving too fast for conditions, evading responsibility and interfering with police, will be dropped in one year, on Nov. 18, 2020. As a condition of his acceptance into the program, he must pay the owner for damage to the vehicle he drove.
"We greatly appreciate the court's wisdom and discretion in granting this program for James," Britt said. "It's an ongoing learning experience for him."
Bouknight was stopped by UConn police at 1:32 a.m. Sept. 27, a day before the first practice of the season. He had hit a road sign near campus, and, police thought, another car. The officer involved reported smelling alcohol on Bouknight. When he was asked to produce identification, Bouknight told police he had none, and he ran from police, who later identified him, according to a warrant. The owner of the vehicle, a female student at UConn, said at first she did not give Bouknight permission to use the car, but later told police she could not remember if she did or not. Her family submitted a letter to the court, recommending the accelerated rehab program for Bouknight. She wishes to remain anonymous.

Britt stressed to the court that Bouknight, a first-time offender, accepted responsibility for his actions and, given the negative publicity he has received, had been sufficiently admonished not to repeat them.
"This was a learning experience for this young man," he told he court, "one which will stay with him for some time."
Bouknight asked to address the court and told Judge Hope C. Seeley, "I would like to apologize to the family [of the vehicle's owner]. I made a terrible mistake. I would like to apologize to my family, my coaches and my team," He promised to make "better decisions."
Assistant State's Attorney Jaclyn M. Dulude pointed out that Bouknight had "two lapses in judgment," including running from police, but agreed the accelerated rehab program was appropriate in this case. Seeley commended Bouknight for taking responsibility and accepted him to the program, with the condition he pay for the damages by Dec. 31.

"We expect the narrative of his career will be about championships," Hurley said on Nov. 7, "and rebuilding his reputation, changing the narrative which currently is associated with this start to his career."
Bouknight, a 6-foot-5 guard from Brooklyn who played at MacDuffie School in Massachusetts, was the first of four recruits for this season landed by Hurley and is expected to be a prolific scorer for the Huskies.

The American Rental Association (ARA) Foundation has made over 60 scholarships worth US$128,500 (€110,000) available to students in North America, who are looking to gain higher education qualifications.
The organisation, which has over the years award in an excess of $1 million to students through its scholarship programme, is now offering a total of 66 scholarships for the 2022-2023 academic year.
Marcy Wright, ARA Foundation executive director, said, "Scholarships are a powerful tool for recruiting and retaining top talent to ensure continued success and future growth of the equipment and event rental industry.
"The ARA Foundation is proud to offer scholarships for continuing education with a record $128,5000 available this year."
With values ranging from between $750 (€655) to $5,000 (€4,300), the scholarhips can be used towards the costs of studying higher education courses through trade schools, universities, and community colleges. Eligible applicants can also apply for multiple awards if they meet specific requirements.
The ARA Foundation said, "Applicants must be associated with the equipment and event rental industry either as a student member of ARA or with an equipment and event rental operation or a manufacturer/supplier of rental equipment and be pursuing a career that supports the industry," said the ARA Foundation.
It added, "The equipment and event rental industry operation does not need to be an ARA member but must qualify for membership with the association."
Part of its continuing efforts to attract talent to the equipment and event rental industry, the organisation's 2022-2023 programme will include five $2,000 scholarships for ARA student members.
"This new membership category is open to individuals enrolled in high school or a post-secondary institution. Student membership, which is free of charge to those who qualify, opens a variety of opportunities to learn about the industry and network with other members," the organisation said.
The ARA Foundation's scholarship progamme is now open to applications, which must be submitted before the March 7, 2022, deadline. To find out more and apply, visit: https://www.ararental.org/ARA-Foundation/scholarships

Q: Generic Type Inference in C# Let's say there are these generic types in C#:
class Entity<KeyType>
{
    public KeyType Id { get; private set; }
    ...
}

interface IRepository<KeyType, EntityType> where EntityType : Entity<KeyType>
{
    EntityType Get(KeyType id);
    ...
}

and these concrete types:
class Person : Entity<int> { ... }

interface IPersonRepository : IRepository<int, Person> { ... }

Now the definition of PersonRepository is redundant: the fact that the KeyType of Person is int is stated explicitly, although it can be deduced from the fact that Person is a subtype of Entity<int>.
It would be nice to be able to define IPersonRepository like this:
interface IPersonRepository : IRepository<Person> { ... }

and let the compiler figure out that the KeyType is int. Is it possible?

A: No, C#'s type system is not sufficiently advanced to express what you want. The feature needed is called higher kinded type which are often found in strongly typed functional languages (Haskell, OCaml, Scala).
Working our way back, you want to be able to write
interface IRepository<EntityType<EntityKey>> {
  EntityType<EntityKey> Get(KeyType id);
}

interface PersonRepository : IRepository<Person> {
  Person Get(Int id);
}

but in C# there is no way to express the kind EntityType or, in other words, that the type parameter has some generic parameter and use that generic parameter in your code.
Side note: The Repository pattern is Evil and must die in a fire.

A: Let's say we want to declare
interface IPersonRepository : IRepository<Person> { }

That would require that there is a generic interface with one type parameter IRepository<EntityType>.
interface IRepository<EntityType> where EntityType : Entity<KeyType>
{
    EntityType Get(KeyType id);
}

At the end of the first line, you refer to a thing called KeyType, which hasn't been declared nor defined. There is no type called "KeyType".
This would work though:
interface IRepository<EntityType> where EntityType : Entity<int>
{
    EntityType Get(int id);
}

Or this:
interface IRepository<EntityType> where EntityType : Entity<string>
{
    EntityType Get(string id);
}

But you cannot have both conflicting definitions at the same time of course. Obviously, you're not happy with that, because you want to be able to define your IRpository interface in such a way that it works with other key types as well.
Well, you can, if you make it generic in the key type:
interface IRepository<KeyType, EntityType> where EntityType : Entity<KeyType>
{
    EntityType Get(KeyType id);
}

There is an alternative approach:
interface IRepository<KeyType>
{
    EntityType<KeyType> Get(KeyType id);
}

Now you can define
class PersonRepository : IRepository<int>
{
    public EntityType<int> Get(int id) { ... }
}

Obviously, you wouldn't be happy with that, because you would like to state that the Get method must return a Person, not just any Entity<int>.
The generic interface with two type parameters in the only solution. And indeed, there is a required relationship between them, as expressed in the constraint. But there is no redundancy here: specifying int for the type parameter doesn't carry enough information.
If we say
class PersonRepository : IRepository<int, Person>
{
    public Person Get(int id) { ... }
}

There is indeed redundancy: specifying the type parameter int is redundant when the type parameter Person has already been specified.
It would be possible to come op with a syntax that make it possible to infer the KeyType. For example, Patrick Hoffman suggested:
class PersonRepository : IRepository<EntityType: Person>.
{
    public Person Get(int id) { ... }
}

While theoretically possible, I fear that this would add a lot of complexity to the language specification and the compiler, for very little gain. In fact, is there any gain at all? You certainly wouldn't be saving keystrokes! Compare these two:
// current syntax
class PersonRepository : IRepository<int, Person>
{
    public Person Get(int id) { ... }
}

// proposed syntax
class PersonRepository : IRepository<EntityType: Person>
{
    public Person Get(int id) { ... }
}

The language is what it is, and it doesn't look too bad to me.

A: No, that is not possible to write that, since it doesn't infer the type (the compiler doesn't).
It should be possible to do so (you need to be part of the C# compiler team though to get it in), since there is no other value possible that the value of KeyType put into the type parameter for Entity. You can't put in a derived type or a base class type.
As others commented though, it might over complicate your code. Also, this only works in the case that Entity<T> is a class, when it is an interface it can't infer the type since it can have multiple implementations. (Maybe that is the ultimate reason they didn't build this in)

Since this week I'm sharing Holiday Gift Guides, I couldn't go without sharing MY Wish List- the list of products that I would absolutely not mind even a little bit if my family got them for me…are you reading this family?
1.) I don't know if I've mentioned this before…but I LOVE reading. And last week I came across this awesome company, Litographs, that takes the text from classic books and turns it into Totes, and Tees, and all kinds of other fun stuff. The one pictured is my fave book of all time, Little Women, and I would love to carry my books around inside this tote emblazoned with my most beloved story. How cool is that?! Know a fellow bibliophile? Tell them about these amazing items and watch them totally geek out. I know I did!
2.) As you know I am discovering my love for organic and all natural beauty products, but I have not yet gotten to try Dusty Girls. I've had them recommended to me several times, and they're definitely on my must-try list. It's all natural, chemical free, mineral makeup. I've heard great things, and their packaging is adorable. Check them out- grab yourself and a friend a new product to try.
3.) As a crafty lady who loves to try my hand at just about everything- a Silhouette has been on my want list forever. Makers gotta make, and boy do these machines make that possible. They cut vinyl, cardstock, fabric, and more, into pretty much anything you can imagine…as for right now I'm going to sit around a dream up the plethora of projects I could create with this thing.
5.) I love a great accessory any day of the week, and this necklace from P3 Personalized Jewelry does not disappoint. It's adorable, has one of my very favorite bible verses on it, and it's sparkly. IT GLITTERS! And as you know, I love anything that shimmers. Wearing this sweet reminder around my neck would be a super cute blessing every time I looked at it.
6.) I have always loved coloring. I once got mad at my nephews for coloring in my Disney Princess coloring book…I was 24 at the time. But, now that coloring has become chic and therapeutic, I no longer have to hide my obsession. This Beauty in the Bible Coloring Book from Paige Tate is not only beautiful, it also contains verses and psalms, which makes it doubly relaxing, because it feels like a tiny bible study. A great gift for any Bible lover that also loves to color.
7.) In case anyone wants to totally splurge on me (ahem…Hubby), this Marc Jacobs watch would be near the top of my list. I love watches, and hate having to dig around for my phone just to check the time. This one is super cute, and is the wraparound style, which is my favorite.White, so it matches everything. And the face is beautiful. Perfect watch.
8.) I love Barn Owl Primitives! If I could, I would have her creations all over my house. They are pricey, but handpainted- so worth it. There are all kinds of amazing signs that are just gorgeous, decor, totes, and more. I've had my eye on this Christmas sign forever, and one of these days it shall be mine!
So there it is, my Holiday Wish List- What's on yours?
Check out my BFF Gift Guide and stay tuned tomorrow for my Hubby Gift Guide- lots of great ideas for the man in your life.
Great list. I would want books. I love books and it's great when you get a chance to read, especially when it's snowing and cold outside.
Um! Can I just copy this for my own? Like seriously. Everything you want, I want and I didn't even know it until now. Except for the Cameo. That's been on my list for awhile. And speaking of Marc Jacobs, I don't know if you care about perfume or not, but he just came out with one called Decadence that is to die for. Or maybe it's old and I'm late to the game because Germany, but either way, it's yummy. I can't believe how excited I am for that bibliophile bag! Ahhhh! Merry Christmas! I hope you get what you ask for!
Haha- yes! Merry Christmas to you too!
I love Christmas time and making a list and gift giving are my favorites.

The gated enclave of Lyford Cay, located on the island of New Providence, Bahamas, is considered one of the world's most exclusive and posh communities. In this private haven renowned for its understated style and beautiful white sand beaches, the Lyford Cay Club serves as the social hub of the community. Town & Country was granted exclusive access to photograph the Lyford Cay Club after a seven-year overhaul by Tom Scheerer. "Lyford, to me, is all about pink. I think it stems from all the old colonial buildings downtown," said Scheerer. Let's take a virtual trip to pink paradise! Photography by Pieter Estersohn.
Painted palms nearly 20 feet tall pop against chocolate brown walls.
The entrance hall features "pickled "cypress" wallpaper, a dramatic corner mirror, and a fig leaf sofa.
Scheerer had white-painted tole palm fronds made for the entrance hall.
The Cabana Bar has the most fabulous pink tented ceiling. A painting in the style of Orville Bulman hangs above the pink sofa.
The pool dining area is a favorite place for breakfast.
Mobile devices are prohibited in common areas, and a land line remains in the entrance hall.
A seating area in the Yacht club.
The heart of Lyford life, the Little Club is one of two restaurants where dinner is served. Dancing follows under the pink and white tent.
An evening at Lyford often begins with meeting friends on the loggia at the Little Club.
The Yacht Club features tavern chairs and blue and black striped linoleum.
The club has its own lodgings, also newly refurbished. Only members and their guests may stay here.
The guest suites, where guests of members stay.
Pineapples are another theme of the redecoration.
More pineapples above the Cabana Bar.

For more on Tom Sheerer, please check out his website and book. And if you are interested in purchasing a home in Lyford, this one by Amanda Lindroth simply could not be more perfect!
Genteel, so pretty, classic, and timeless! John Volk did the structure, and Mimi McMakin of Kemble Interiors re-decorated it not too long ago- just stunning!
Absolutely true to it's roots of decades ago. I love that he redid the place, but kept the same feeling. It is truly beautiful and for the beautiful people. Great post.
I can see why it's so exclusive – simply divine!
My then 12 year old son spent a week at Lyford Cay Club with a well-to-do friend and his parents (private jet and all!!) I considered stowing away in his luggage but didn't think I'd be able to dodge them all for an entire week, and how to explain how I'd gotten there???
He raved about it for months, especially the crepes they made him for breakfast. Ah yes, the crepes . . . .
He had no comments about the design, though — I guess the food was far more memorable!

Userbase has gone up, but participation in the election has gone down?
From https://serverfault.com/election:
2011: 3,834 voters were eligible, 566 visited the election, and 310 voted (8% of eligible users voted)
2012: 6,350 voters were eligible, 1,361 visited the site during the election, 474 visited the election page, and 208 voted (3,2% of eligible users voted)
So - we have more users, and more people visiting the election page, but less votes - even with nearly twice the userbase. What's going on?
pauskapauska
That may only be counting the "election round" - which was mostly during the weekend. That may skew things. – Shane Madden Jan 24 '12 at 20:22
Clearly, the banners at the top of the page weren't in your face enough. – Holocryptic Jan 24 '12 at 20:25
From SO - Early 2011: 11,3% participation, Late 2011: 6,8% participation – pauska Jan 24 '12 at 20:29
I noticed this too... – Mark Henderson Jan 24 '12 at 20:36
@Holocryptic i die a little inside when those system messages are used for anything but the most important messages "We are going to break something, sorry" type stuff – Zypher Jan 24 '12 at 20:38
One might wonder if we have annoyed some people enough as described here (meta.serverfault.com/questions/2737/…). Maybe being overly specific about questions results in us killing the potential for a larger community. – Zoredache Jan 24 '12 at 20:43
@Zoredache I'm not sure that really applies here. This year, over double the people visited the election page, but 1/3 less voted. It doesn't seem that growth is the issue. – MDMarra Jan 24 '12 at 20:50
I think this is an unfortunate byproduct of a growing community. Politically speaking things usually divide up into a few camps:
The Very Involved
People who run for public office or make a lot of noise trying to get things changed.
On SF this would be folks who run for mod positions, post on meta, flag actively, etc. These people definitely vote.
The Somewhat Involved
People who stay generally informed about political affairs.
On SF this would be the folks who read meta, flag occasionally, throw around close votes when they have 'em... These people probably vote.
The Generally Uninvolved
People who might be bothered to turn up to a presidential election.
On SF this would be the folks who skim the candidate bios and vote out of a sense of obligation.
The Apathetic Masses
People who don't care how the "government" works as long as the streets are plowed.
This is pretty much "everyone else". They typically won't vote.
The Disillusioned
People who think "Meh, my vote doesn't count".
Given the low turnout of the SF election I would hope there aren't many of these people.
voretaq7voretaq7
Note that this begs the real question: How do we drag people out of "The Apathetic Masses" and get them to be at least "Somewhat Involved" – voretaq7 Jan 24 '12 at 20:31
Do you really want those who don't care about the voting to cast votes? What sort of results might that produce? Over here voting in political elections (all levels) is compulsory and the outcome generally reflects the negative attitude of the majority. Not a good thing. – John Gardeniers Jan 25 '12 at 3:59
@JohnGardeniers I'd rather they become interested and involved in the process. If they're just showing up to pull the proverbial lever I would much prefer they stay home: Compulsory voting with a disinterested electorate is an awful idea. – voretaq7 Jan 25 '12 at 4:28
I think you need to remember that the user base each year will include an increasing number of inactive users. Those who posted a single Q or A right at the start and haven't been back since are still part of the user base. This means the numbers will always appear to deteriorate.
I suspect that if we were to count only those who have been active within the last few months the figures would look very different.
John GardeniersJohn Gardeniers
Interesting approach. Are there any numbers about that? – Nils Jan 24 '12 at 21:48
@Nils, I don't have any numbers but just looking at the posts, or even the user list, show that the vast number of people come to the site, post one or a few questions and/or answers and then go away. Those who have remained active, even as little as myself, for extended periods are a minority. – John Gardeniers Jan 24 '12 at 23:13
I can sort of agree with this -- The reputation barrier to entry to be considered an "eligible voter" is incredibly low (150). If we consider only the users above 1000 rep (using the numbers from the Reputation Leagues) our voter turnout numbers are much better: 2/3 visited the election page, and around half actually voted. – voretaq7 Jan 25 '12 at 4:35
There are more people eligible to vote (1.65x as many as last year) but the number of eligible people who visited the site during the election period was up by a larger amount (2.4x as many). So it's not that the people who could've voted didn't visit SF, but they didn't bother going to the election page. – Ward - Reinstate Monica♦ Jan 25 '12 at 5:20
The problem seems to be that we didn't get more people visiting the election page: 474 this year vs. 566 last year.
Maybe the banner coming and going had something to do with it? It was always there on meta.SF, but on SF itself sometimes there was an election banner, sometimes there wasn't.
Or maybe people are spread too thin with multiple SE sites? I think most people who would bother to vote at all are the type who are conscientious enough to only vote if they really felt they actually knew the candidates, the site.
Ward - Reinstate Monica♦Ward - Reinstate Monica
I did have an election banner every day of the election (though I mentally tuned it out - it could probably disappear and I'd never notice :-x). I agree with the dilution idea though: A lot of what was once concentrated here is now on U&L, AskUbuntu, DBA, & Security -- might be reducing the number of people who feel "involved enough" to vote. – voretaq7 Jan 24 '12 at 20:34
It was definitely on and off for me. Sometimes it would disappear for a few hours and come back. Very annoying. – Ben Pilbrow Jan 24 '12 at 21:40
Don't forget personality:
People didn't know or like the candidates.
TristanKTristanK
I doubt this would be a significant factor. As the candidates are all active members of this community the "didn't know" part is less likely and the "like" part is essentially covered by the primary voting, where you could downvote as well as upvote. – John Gardeniers Jan 24 '12 at 23:16
You could try factoring in how the candidates did compared to their participation on the chat server for Serverfault and then reference it to voting...although I doubt enough of the people are in chat that it would sway voting much. – Bart Silverstrim Jan 24 '12 at 23:52
Could you downvote? That's interesting, it wasn't immediately obvious to me. I thought I clicked people, and their badges came up on the right hand side. Potato, potaaahto. – TristanK Jan 25 '12 at 0:23
That was in the final phase. In the primaries the voting was the same as it is for questions. Maybe you missed that stage. – John Gardeniers Jan 25 '12 at 4:02
So there were three stages? Self-nomination (I saw), primaries (?), then actual voting (I did)? Ah well. Maybe it's not that the people weren't liked, maybe it was the commitment requirement! – TristanK Jan 25 '12 at 4:42
Dug up the relevant threads on the process... See MDMarra's answer below :) – TristanK Jan 25 '12 at 4:49
I don't think this is unexpected. Just because we have a lot of users, doesn't mean they are active users and it doesn't mean they have to give a f*** about who gets to be a mod.
TablemakerTablemaker
But, if you do the math (which I didn't bother), you'll see that there was a MUCH higher percentage of voters in 2011 versus 2012. – pauska Jan 24 '12 at 20:21
People be reel stoopid. Obviously.

India's Second Most Dangerous Border?
The May 21-27 issue of The Economist describes the line separating India from Pakistan as "the world's most dangerous border," an assessment difficult to deny. But India's 4023-kilometer (2,500-mile) border with Bangladesh is perilous as well.
The Indo-Bangladeshi boundary is in some respects more barricaded than that between India and Pakistan. Half of the border is already fenced; most sections consist of parallel barbed-wire fences, some of which are electrified. In theory, India is fencing off its entire extent. But the $1.2 billion project, originally scheduled for completion two years ago, has become bogged down. According to Vikas Kumar, progress has been slowed by "the riverine landscape and incomplete demarcation of the international boundary." Fencing off the shifting river channels that abound in Bangladesh is no easy task.
The Indian government's main geopolitical worry focuses on the Bangladeshi sanctuaries supposedly used by insurgent groups from northeastern India. India once accused Bangladesh of harboring 190 militant bases, mostly linked to the Tripura insurgency. The rebels' reliance on Bangladeshi havens is hardly surprising, as the Indian state of Tripura is almost engulfed by Bangladesh. By 2010, this particular rebellion had largely dissipated. But other northeastern Indian uprisings continue to simmer, and Tripura could easily flare up again.
Smuggling, especially of weapons, is another concern. Most illicit trade, however, runs in the opposite direction, from India to Bangladesh. A variety of goods are bootlegged across the border, with many shipments carrying such mundane loads as rice and saris. More troublesome is phensedyl, a codeine-laced cough syrup made in India that is illegal in Bangladesh. Moving phensedyl is big business; between January 2009 and September 2010, Bangladeshi agents seized nearly two million bottles. Bangladesh is now pressuring India to take more stringent efforts against drug smuggling, offering to collaborate more extensively on security issues.
As against half a dozen legal entry points between the two countries on this stretch of the border, there are 17 illegal ones, called ghats [literally "steps"]. Like liquor vends, these ghats are auctioned and the ghat maliks ["crossing lords"] set their own rates of commission for permitting the illegal activity. There is also a loose network of line-men, agents and carriers who facilitate the smuggling of cattle, rice, shimmering nylon saris and phensedyl … across the barrier.
Owing to the porosity of the border, whether fenced or not, India relies heavily on military patrols to reduce transgressions. The Indian Border Security Force (BSF) is a gargantuan paramilitary organization, with some 240,000 employees. The BSF is much criticized for its violent enforcement measures. Human rights organizations claim that it has killed nearly 1,000 Bangladeshi border-crossers in the past ten years. According to some sources in Bangladesh, other violations are commonplace. The Daily Star claims that between 2008 and 2010, "64 Bangladeshis were tortured to death by BSF, … while 116 were abducted along the border," allegations that India denies. International outrage was generated in January 2011, when a BSF guard shot and killed a fifteen-year-old Bangladeshi girl; her lifeless body hung from the fence for five hours before Indian troops hauled it away on a bamboo pole.
Although India apologized for the killing, its response was widely viewed as feeble, fomenting yet more furor in Bangladesh. The Bangladeshi government, however, played down the row, as it has been pursing rapprochement with India. Dhaka is currently pushing New Delhi to liberalize trade, focusing on the quotas that it imposes on Bangladeshi textiles. As Bangladesh runs a significant and growing trade deficit with India, such concerns weigh heavily on its leaders.
Meanwhile, construction of the Indo-Bangladeshi barrier continues. Determining exactly where the barrier will run is no simple matter, as we shall see in tomorrow's post.

Q: Data structure for state modification in backtracking I am writing my first larger Haskell program. The resulting application must allocate resources under a set of constraints. The algorithmic approach is brute force, since allocating a resource for each of the tasks is dependent on previous allocations. This is basically backtracking with constraint checking after each allocation. I am now considering what data structures I should use to make this as efficient as possible.
The output (value) of the program is the list of resource allocations. The set of resources available is handled as a state using the StateT monad transformer. The state is a container of containers of containers: container of people, each having a container of days, each having a container of allocated times (pre-allocated before the program has started, or allocated by the program).
During the search for a feasible solution the containers at the lowest level (allocated times) will be modified when a task is assigned to a specific person on a specific day at a specific time. Given that the search is likely to backtrack a large number of times, this will result in a large number of "copies" of immutable data. To be more specific, during each state change, exactly one item will be added to exactly one container at the lowest level: one time on a specific day will be allocated to a specific person. My question is:
Which data structure(s) should I use given the large number of copies of immutable data?


Chicken mushroom (chicken of the woods, Laetiporus sulphureus) isn't just for the dinner table (if you're not familiar with this edible fungus, it resembles chicken in taste and texture). Chicken mushroom is quite medicinal, and it's the perfect way to let food be your medicine, and medicine your food.
Research has shown that an extract from this mushroom possesses antimicrobial activity against the pathogen, Aspergillus flavus (Petrovic et al., 2013). Chicken mushroom is also a great source of antioxidants, including quercetin, kaempferol, caffeic acid, and chlorogenic acid (Olennikov et al., 2011), and it contains lanostanoids – molecules that have the ability to inhibit cancerous growths (Rios et al., 2012). What more could you ask for from a humble saprophyte?
I harvested only a bit (as you can see, another hungry soul found this tree before me). And if you are signed up for the wild edible and medicinal plants workshop near Pittsburgh next week, I'll introduce you to this tree (let's hope it's not completely picked over by then!).

Patty Murray, "We Have To Destroy The Middle Class In Order To Save It"
Patty Murray, Democrat Senator from Washington State, following the lead of all other Democrats, portrays herself as a "Champion of the Middle Class." They swept to power in both houses of congress in the 2006 elections by that claim, bashing President George W. Bush and the spineless Republicans who failed to counter the claims with truth.
The middle class has never been worse off since.
Winning office in the early 1990's as just a "Mom in tennis shoes," the now 62 year-old has shown herself to be more of a "Mom in muddy shoes," sparing no effort to retain her cushioned seat of authority, promoting a Progressive agenda on the backs of the middle class while catering to big labor and selected corporate special interests.
Deflecting any and blame, Murray and other Democrats ignore that unemployment among the middle class quickly doubled after they assumed control of congress and the entire government with the election of Barack Obama in 2008.
Murray first came to office in 1993 along with President B.J. Clinton, giving them full control of the government. Unemployment was sitting at 7.3% still reeling from the disastrous luxury tax Democrats drew up and convinced President George H.W. Bush to sign into law in violation of his famous "read my lips, no new taxes" pledge. The promptly made their tax a campaign issue against him and used it to oust him from office and elect B.J. Clinton.
As history shows, the luxury tax against the wealthy decimated the middle class as the wealthy either stopped buying the items with the higher taxes of bought elsewhere, putting companies that employed the middle class to manufacture luxury items out of business.
The 1994 elections saw Murray relegated to minority party status as Republicans led by Newt Gingrich won control of both houses of congress based upon their "Contract with America." By 2000 unemployment had dropped as low as 3.8%.
In the years leading up to the 2006 elections, unemployment went up and down with the economic recession of the early 2000's, the most devastating terrorist attack in history and going to war to fight terrorism. Yet unemployment never exceeded 6.2% and averaged 5.1% for the years 2000 through 2006.
When Murray and the Democrats assumed control of congress in January 2007, unemployment sat at 4.6% as the wailed how bad the economy was and such a number of unemployed was "unbearable."
By the time Barack Obama was inaugurated unemployment was 7.8%, quickly exceeding 10% and only dipped slightly under 8% for a very short period leading up to the 2012 election.
As boring as this may be to read, it is to give you some back ground on just how well these so-called "champions of the middle class" have benefited the middle class in America. The relevance is in that Patty Murray graced Clark County with her presence recently stumping for the largest and most expensive project ever to hit our region, the Columbia River Crossing that will replace both spans of the Interstate Bridge linking Clark County to Portland, Oregon and that is primarily designed to force Clark County's middle class to not only accept Portland's financially ailing light rail that we have voted down in the past, but to pay for it as well.
In promoting the boondoggle heavily opposed by the middle class taxpayers in Clark County, Murray, taking aim at the County Commissioners the middle class turned out in droves to support and elect to oppose the CRC, labeled their recent effort in passing a resolution opposing the CRC by a 2 to 1 margin as 'turning their backs on the region's economic development.'
Speaking before a select group of special interest business owners in the Columbia River Economic Development Council (CREDC), Murray took aim at the selection of the middle class she boldly claims to "champion" condemning the recent actions of County Commission to end tax dollars paid to CREDC since they support the CRC and light rail when voters have clearly rejected it, most recently by proxy vote defeating the proposed sales tax increase intended to fund light rail operations & maintenance.
Apparently clueless, Murray lied with, "A light rail component is absolutely necessary to secure federal funding for this project."
Although claimed for many years, it was revealed that the federal government has no such requirement for light rail in their mandate of some form of rapid transit being part of such projects. Less expensive buses or even a bus rapid transit would fulfill the need and still qualify for the federal funding.
Oblivious to such an ambitious project being a burden on the middle class that has seen over 4 years of double digit unemployment in Clark County, Murray calls for "local revenues and tolling" to pay for the monstrosity that would be more affordable if not for forcing light rail to be part of it.
Those so-called "local revenues" currently being discussed amount to an additional 10 cent per gallon gas tax that would return Washington State to the highest gas tax in the nation, a $20 additional fee for yearly licensing your car, the possibility of an increase in the employer tax, the fee of $25 added to bicycles that cost at least $500 and whatever else our Democrat controlled legislature can dre4am up to stick it to the middle class.
Addressing the numerous design flaws uncovered in the project, such as inadequate clearance for river commerce traffic that would put businesses upriver out of business or cause them to lay off middle class workers to cut back on their services as well as several downtown businesses being displaced and torn down to accommodate the eyesore bridge, Murray says, "any further attempt to change the current bridge design will cause years, if not decades of delay."
In other words, we are crossing a bridge in the dark at high speed and seen in the headlights ahead that the bridge is washed out. But, we have gone too far now so just keep going over the edge, even though we know it is going to kill us.
Ignoring the concerns of the struggling middle class in both states of Oregon and Washington, Murray flippantly states "no plan is perfect" and adding, "the CRC plan has been agreed upon and studied time and time again."
Who agreed upon it? Surely not the middle class that has been denied promised votes time and again since we first defeated the notion in 1995.
And what studies? The glossed over reports that ignored the many design flaws associated with the current design?
Moving ahead with this boondoggle promises to add about $2,000 a year to the average Clark County middle class citizen who must travel to Portland for a job, since neither Murray or her party will do much to attract jobs to our county. Oh, she claims they work hard to "create jobs" on this side of the river, but where are they? Why have we been burdened with over 4 years of double digit unemployment?
And if they are about "creating jobs," why do they continue to block expansion of our ports to accommodate shipping coal to Asia who is going to buy and use coal no matter what we may think. Why do they continue to deny recovering our own energy sources resting beneath our own land and within our borders? Or even the construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline from Alberta, Canada to the Gulf of Mexico where a refined product would be shipped to foreign lands?
These are all middle class jobs denied due to restrictions placed on the backs of job creators prepared to hire middle class workers.
But for Patty Murray to portray herself as a "Champion of the middle class" and then condemn the actions the middle class elected two County Commissioners to take is completely hypocritical, as is expecting the middle class to be forced to accept and pay for a project that instead of being a benefit to us, will bankrupt us.
It's as if Murray and the Democrats stand before us saying, "we have to destroy the middle class in order to save it."

Aisha Huang must face full rigour of the law – Akufo-Addo
President Akufo-Addo
President Akufo-Addo has added his voice to calls for the prosecution of Chinese woman, Aisha Huang, who has been arrested again for her engagement in illegal mining in the country.
The notorious galamsey Queen was first arrested in May 2017 and charged for undertaking illegal mining but was subsequently deported.
She, was, however, re-arrested in Kumasi two weeks ago by the National Security for ostensibly sneaking back into the country to continue her galamsey business – sparking outrage among the Ghanaian public who are calling for her prosecution.
But speaking at a conference of the Ghana Bar Association in Ho, as part of a two-day tour of the Volta region, President Akufo-Addo indicated his support for the prosecution of the suspect by the Attorney General.
"…to show you of my full support of the Attorney General in his determination to prosecute Aisha Huang and her collaborators who apparently insist on flouting our laws on galamsey and illegal mining."
"I expect if they are found guilty, that the court will apply the full rigour of the new amended Act 995 which has increased substantially the punishment for breaches of the law," President Akufo-Addo stressed.
Aisha and her accomplices since their arrest have been flown to Accra and arraigned same day before an Accra Circuit Court.
She has been charged with two counts of engaging in the sale and purchases of minerals without valid licence contrary to section 99(1) of minerals and mining (amendment) act 2015(Act 900) and mining without licence contrary to section 99(3) of minerals and mining (amendment) Act 2015, Act 900 to which she and the other three accomplices pleaded not guilty.
They have since been remanded into police custody by the court and are expected to reappear in court on September 14, 2022.

The Lung Allocation Score (LAS) calculations implemented in 2005, avoided transplants in those who were considered to have poor survival rate, and applied to adolescents (aged 17-17 years) and adults (aged 18 years and older).
Since June 10, 2013, pediatrics under 12 years and listed for lung transplant can ask for an exception from the national Lung Review Board and be assinged a LAS in order to be listed for lung offers from adult and adolescent donors.
The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) released modified guidelines to their LAS system, which became effective February 19, 2015.
A report, published by the American Journal of Transplantation, on the OPTN/SRTR 2013 Annual Data Report, was coauthored by Dr. Maryam Valapour of the Cleveland Clinic Department of Pulmonary Medicine, Respiratory Institute at Cleveland, Ohio. Dr. Valapour was instrumental in the analysis of the new LAS guidelines.
The conclusion of the report continues to prefer bilateral lung transplant, which represented 70% of lung transplant events in 2013, and that both long- and short-term survival rates have plateaued since the LAS was implemented in 2005. The biggest change to the revised guidelines are for patients with pulmonary hypertension who will be granted higher priority.

To Enjoy Is The Only Thing
MAPLE GLIDER
PIE030CD
Over plucked acoustic guitar or deftly weighted piano chords, Maple Glider shares vignettes of her life; growing up in a restrictive religious household, falling in an out of love, interstate and international relocations, the new perspectives travel can bring along with the alienation of being away from the familiar.
Maple Glider is the new project of solo artist Tori Zietsch (Peach with a Z). In the singer-songwriter tradition, the music is centred around the lyrics, exploring intimate themes and often serving as a self-catharsis. Offsetting the heavy-nature of some of the words, Maple Glider herself is humorous, fabulous and warm. Find her on instagram for her lovable self.
Brought up in a restrictive religious household, Zietsch relocated to Melbourne, spent some years overseas, and returned with a SoundCloud account (literally) full of demos. She'd experienced heavy loneliness abroad, but it was during that time that she entered a pool of self-reflection. The resulting songs relate to working through her experience as a child raised in religion, and the years she spent trying to extract that from her identity.. but many are also about love and relationships - the end of, middle of, confusion of.
And, in her words..
"This is what the album looks like to me: Walking past tinsel covered trees in mid-September, swimming along the calanques in the south of France, car-bonnet frost, darkness at 4pm, lightness until 10pm, a muted feeling, the perpetual grey fog that swallows the Silver Coast, the colour red, this ugly green dress, red wine, red blood, red lips, red is the colour of the cardinal's robe, Switzerland, my mother's diaries, a coroner's report, the sun on my face, the end of love, "To enjoy is the only thing. BTCH$"."
Based in Brighton abroad in the UK was where Zietsch experienced heavy loneliness. But it was during this time that she entered a pool of self-reflection. She returned to Melbourne late 2019 with a soundcloud literally full of demos. She enlisted Tom Iansek (Big Scary / #1 Dads / The Paper Kites / Hockey Dad) to record, mix and produce the first batch of songs she was ready to get down. During the shared time spent at Pieater's studio BellBird with Iansek, the wider team got to fully appreciate the wonderful artistry and beauty of Maple Glider, and welcomed her to the Pieater family.

Remembering Bob Gibson
As a kid I was a St. Louis Cardinals fan. The Braves had left Milwaukee, we hated everything about Chicago which meant the next closest team for us to cheer for was the Cardinals.
And one of the greatest Cardinals, one of the greatest pitchers of all time and one of the most intense players of all time was Bob Gibson.
Gibson passed away recently and it made me think of a couple great stories about him and his playing career. Gibson played in a much different era of the game but his dominance can not be argued. Some of that dominance can be tied to his attitude as much as his physical skills.
Tim McCarver tells the story that as a young catcher he tried to go to the mound to "settle" Gibson down in a game where he was struggling. Before he even got to the mound Gibson said approximately , "All you know about great pitching is that you can't hit it. Get your (bleep, bleep) back behind the plate!" With which Gibson followed up by striking out the next hitter to get out of the inning.
Another example of Gibson and the way he played the game can be seen when you consider that the last pitch Gibson threw in a game was hit for a grand slam by Pete LaCock. Ten years later in an "Old Timers" game Gibson faced LaCock and hit him with the first pitch he threw to him. Talk about old school!!
RIP Bob Gibson. Those of us who cheered for you will always remember the fire and passion with which you played. I miss those days!

WYPR Features
Strive To Stay In A Good Mood
WYPR - 88.1 FM Baltimore | By Anirban Basu
As indicated by writer Glenn Ruffenach, many retirees enter 2020 in a good mood. After all, stocks had a terrific run in 2019, with the S&P 500 climbing a remarkable 29 percent.
As of December, the economy had been expanding for a record 126 consecutive months according to the National Bureau of Economic Research. Partially as a result, a recent survey conducted by the Employee Benefit Research Institute found that 82 percent of retirees were confident in their capacity to live comfortably throughout their later life, similar to levels of confidence observed in 2005.

Cars In Queens Neighborhood Getting Egged Past 2 Weeks
Filed Under:Jennifer McLogan, John Montone, Queens cars egging, We Love Whitestone civic association
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Queens car owners are waking up to a sticky, slimy mess as their vehicles were the targets of eggings.
CBS2's Jennifer McLogan reported residents in Whitestone are getting heated over the destructive spree that has been going on for the past two weeks.
"The egg was just all over the car," Ashley Schwenk, 20, said when she was about to drive her new car to school. "Nice damage, it just splattered everywhere."
The incident left an egg imprint on her car's bumper.
"It cracked and it was just all down in here, stuck in here," Schwenk said. "Splashed all over the back."
Resident George Ruffus said the vandalism is the talk of the neighborhood.
"Your car gets egged the night before. The next day you come out you have fried eggs on your car," Ruffus said. "Can't get them off and it ruins the paint."
Dozens of residents are pulling into their neighborhood car wash as they try to get the egg mess off their windshields, fenders and hoods.
"Sometimes we have to run two or three times through the car wash," car wash manager Darwin Calle said.
Many of the cars were egged at the intersection near Grace Episcopal.
"When the egg hits the car, it makes a clear imprint, and when that happens, after a certain amount of time it will start peeling off," service station owner Louie Romano said. "If you don't clean the egg right away, the egg itself, because of the acid, will eat through the paint."
Police said most of the complaints have come from owners of parked cars, but video posted on YouTube can show how dangerous it can be for the driver to be hit by a hurled egg.
"I think they might be younger kids and have a car and are getting a thrill out of doing that and take off," Schwenk said.
The 109th Precinct is working closely with the "We Love Whitestone" civic association as officers patrol and collect surveillance video in an attempt to identify and locate the egg-throwing suspects.

An artist's rendering shows the west side of the future Taylor Morrison townhouse subdivision on the former Dominick's property in Rolling Meadows. Aldermen voted 5-2 Tuesday night to approve the project.
Though some continued to try to delay a vote, a proposed 106-unit townhouse development on much of the former Dominick's property in downtown Rolling Meadows was approved Tuesday by the lame-duck city council.
The key vote in a long-running debate about what to do with the Kirchoff Road property -- left vacant by the departure of the grocer and other retailers beginning in 2004 -- came a week after three new aldermen were elected, along with a new mayor who has been staunchly opposed to plans for mostly residential on the former commercial site.
The 5-2 second reading vote Tuesday night -- in which Mayor-elect Joe Gallo was one of two aldermen to vote "no" -- follows the same 5-2 first reading tally taken the week before the election. The new council and mayor will be seated May 14.
Gallo and Alderman Nick Budmats sought to delay a vote until at least the next meeting April 23, but that motion failed 5-2, while they both were also on the losing end of a motion to cut off debate and call for a vote.
Gallo, who finished first in a four-way race for mayor, has supported a plan he devised with a local business owner for a town center with retail, residential and parkland on the 11-acre site at 2819-2915 Kirchoff Road.
He said during the council meeting Tuesday that for every resident who emailed him in favor of homebuilder Taylor Morrison's plans to redevelop 9.5 acres of the site, six others were opposed.
"If we move forward with this, we lose any opportunity to rejuvenate our downtown, and it will cost us future dollars," Gallo said.
Both supporters and opponents filled the council chambers Tuesday in hopes of convincing aldermen of their positions.
Four spoke during public comment in favor of the townhouse project, saying it was time to put something on the lot that's been empty for years.
Five others who were opposed argued the new council should evaluate plans that include more commercial.
The developer brought the proposal for 54 three-story homes and 52 two-story homes to the city's planning and zoning commission last month. That panel voted 4-3 to recommend the city council reject the project.
But a majority of aldermen have been in favor of a residential use on the Kirchoff site, having approved the rezoning of 9.5 acres from commercial to residential more than a year ago, along with preliminary approval of similar plans of developer Ryan Homes for 113 townhouses. That developer dropped out due to financial problems, and Taylor Morrison purchased the blueprints.
Alderman Mike Cannon said the retail environment has changed since Dominick's occupied the shopping center, while other strip centers across the city deal with vacancies.
Property owner Clark Street Development has also marketed the site for commercial with no success, Cannon added.
"I think any one of us would love to see commercial there," Cannon said. "I think we have to be realistic commercial is not going to come back there. It's not the reality of the marketplace."
Clark Street will retain two 0.8-acre lots fronting Kirchoff for potential future commercial use.


Unix Coin Review – Scam or Legit ICO?
Looking for a Unix Coin Review? You're in the right place. Today we are looking at Unix Coin and we are going to share our full review. If you're wondering whether it's a scam or a legit ICO keep reading as we will reveal everything. Also we are not an affiliates for Unix Coin Review so you can expect and honest review and not just another sales pitch like other reviews do!
No information has been provided by Unix Coin on their website as to who owns or runs the business.
unixcoin.com, the Unix Coin website domain was first registered on June 18th, 2016.
The registration was updated of late on November 23rd, which is when the current owner(s) acquired it.
The website domain was up for sale as late as October, 2017.
Alexa estimate that Vietnam (30%) and South Korea (9.6%) are the largest sources of traffic to the Unix Coin website at the time of publication.
If an MLM company does not reveal who is running or owns it, think twice joining and/or investing any money.
There are no retailable products or services of Unix Coin. The affiliates are only able to market Unix Coin affiliate membership itself.
The affiliates of Unix Coin invest in pre-generated points for between 90 cents and $1.40 each.
These points are then "lent" back to Unix Coin on the promise to give out an advertised ROI.
Unix Coin advise that the daily ROI rate is variable and 'announced daily at 00.00 (UTC)'.
Referral commissions are given out on funds both initially invested and on points lent for an ROI.
The referral commissions are paid by Unix Coin via a unilevel compensation structure.
The lent points referral commissions are given out in Unix Coin points.
To fully participate in the Unix Coin income opportunity requires a minimum $100 investment.
Unix Coin doesn't make the effort come up with some nonsense to give off the impression of legitimacy.
They compares their points to bitcoin. It markets them on the sole premise of their being "affordable".
There is absolutely no reason for Unix Coin to rise in value as there is no public supply and demand and no real world practical use.
When affiliate recruitment dries up demand for Unix Coin will slump down, ultimately triggering the admin end-game.
Affiliate ROIs are given out via Unix Coin's internal exchange until invested funds run low.
The anonymous admin(s) stop paying out at that point and disappear with what's left.
Investors of early Unix Coin make a bit through ROI withdrawals while they last, and through pyramid recruitment.
Most of the investors however lose out.


Their joint sales operations will be liquidated this year.
Feed industry suppliers Pelagia and TripleNine have decided to end cooperation with a combined sales set-up of own products through Norsildmel.
Norsildmel A/S is owned 50 percent by TripleNine and 50 percent by Pelagia and the main activity of the company is trading feed raw material to the European aquafeed industry.
Both Pelagia and TripleNine have decided to take over sale of their own production and will therefore liquidate this part of Norsildmel's business.
Operations in Norsildmel Innovation which is trading feed ingredients from external suppliers, will continue as before.
The restructuring will be implemented in 2019.
