German government crisis intensified by president's resignation
By Ulrich Rippert and Peter Schwarz
The unexpected and sudden resignation of President Horst Köhler on Monday afternoon has further intensified the crisis of the German government. It is the second resignation by a top-serving politician in just one week. Five days earlier, Hesse Minister President Roland Koch (CDU) gave up his post in a deliberate affront to Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU).
But Köhler's resignation is much more significant. Although the functions of the German president are mainly of a ceremonial nature, as head of state he nevertheless embodies the authority of the state and of the entire political system. His task is often seen as maintaining people's confidence in the state and official politics in times of social and political crisis.
For this reason, the very manner in which Köhler resigned—without forewarning, without preparation and with immediate effect—created a political shock. Even the chancellor, the foreign minister and Köhler's statutory replacement—the president of the upper house of parliament, Jens Böhrnsen (SPD, Social Democratic Party)—were only informed two hours in advance.
Köhler then explained his decision in just three short paragraphs at a press conference called at short notice, and left his office immediately. He mentioned as the reason for his resignation the massive public criticism of an interview about the Bundeswehr deployment in Afghanistan.
On his way back from a visit to German troops in Afghanistan, the president had connected international military operations to Germany's economic interests. He literally said that "a country of our size, with its export-based economy and associated dependence upon foreign trade, has to realise that, when in doubt, or in emergency situations, it is also necessary to deploy our military forces to protect our interests."
The defence of economic interests by military means has been an established practice for some time, but no leading politician has previously stated this for fear of aggravating public opinion. The media heavily criticised Köhler for doing just that, depicting him as a "babbler", not mature enough for his position and unable to control his own remarks.
In his resignation speech, Köhler did indeed admit that his statement "could have led to misinterpretation", but nevertheless considered the critique as lèse-majesté. "This criticism is entirely unjustified. It shows no respect for my office", he said in justification of his departure.
The entire resignation episode was suffused with an atmosphere of panic, such as occurs only in times of acute social crises. The journalists who were present were so bewildered that not one of them could even pose a question before Köhler took his wife's hand and left.
The resulting press reactions were indignant. "Probably no one has ever done so much damage to the office of the federal presidency as Horst Köhler did this Monday", commented Kurt Kister, the deputy chief editor of the Süddeutsche Zeitung, under the headline "Köhler's desertion". "He tossed away the highest position in the country just because he felt insulted."
Other newspapers responded in similar fashion. Since then, there has been no end to speculations about what could have led to Köhler's sudden step-down. His thin-skinned character was given as a reason, along with his difficult personality and that he was never a trained politician.
Personality characteristics may have played a role, but they cannot ultimately explain why Köhler, after five years in public office, suddenly gave up his post. To really understand such a panicked action, one has to consider the surrounding circumstances—a climate of uncertainty, tension and great anxiety.
The resignation of Köhler is a manifestation of the crisis of the government of Angela Merkel (CDU) and Guido Westerwelle (FDP, Free Democratic Party), who "invented" him as a president. The previously publicly unknown financial expert, who had made a career in the Finance Ministry, as president of the savings banks and head of the IWF, was chosen to stand for president by the then leaders of the Opposition in 2004 during a private meeting in Westerwelle's flat. The idea was that he would pave the way for a conservative-liberal coalition to replace the incumbent Social Democratic-Green coalition.
In the end, Köhler was elected, but the conservative-liberal coalition did not materialise. In the general election of 2005, it lacked sufficient majority votes, so Merkel formed a grand coalition with the SPD. When, in 2009, the CDU eventually did form a coalition with the FDP, they were faced with a barrage of economic, social and foreign policy problems, which they were neither prepared for, nor able to address.
The deepest international economic crisis since the 1930s shattered all the certainties upon which German politics had been based since the end of the Second World War: orientation to Europe, close ties to the US, social consensus, a strong currency. Even the European Union and its common currency, central to the strategy of German foreign policy over the last 20 years, are now in question.
Chancellor Merkel has reacted to this with zig-zag course of action, bringing upon herself criticisms of being indecisive and ineffective. For a long time, she opposed financial help for highly indebted Greece, thus putting the existence of the euro at risk, only to make a sudden U-turn and agree to a bailout package of the unprecedented sum of €750 billion. And while she had anchored a public borrowing limit in the constitution under the Grand Coalition, she has hesitated until now to implement the concomitant public spending cuts. In contrast to her predecessor, Gerhard Schröder, she committed herself to a policy of close cooperation with the US, only to find that economic antagonisms with the transatlantic power are getting ever sharper.
Horst Köhler acted as a political and economic advisor to Merkel, but was just as clueless as she was. At one point he would speak in favour of stringent public spending cuts, at another point he would rage in a populist way about the "monstrous" financial markets. In between were long periods of silence. Leading civil servants deserted his office, and there were numerous reports about the chaotic conditions in the presidential office.
Meanwhile, the star of the CDU/Liberal coalition was plunging like a falling comet. It has lost its majority in the upper house of parliament, and support in opinion polls has fallen to 40 percent. Conflicts within the government parties have intensified. In this climate of general crisis, Köhler announced his resignation, thus delivering yet another blow to the chancellor.
According to information on Spiegel Online, Merkel was shocked by Köhler's decision, and by the obstinacy that he showed. She had tried in a telephone call "with unusually dramatic words" to persuade him to change his mind. She warned him that such an unprepared and unplanned step could trigger a constitutional crisis. The confidence of citizens in the highest state office and in politics in general could be badly damaged, she emphasised. She told Köhler that he was laying himself open to attack, if people couldn't understand his reasons for resigning. She implored him "many times" to rethink his decision. But he remained adamant.
It is hard to predict how this political crisis will develop further. It is not to be ruled out that the CDU/Liberal coalition, or even Merkel herself, will fall by the wayside. In leading industrial circles, there are loud voices calling for the return of the SPD or the Green Party to political responsibility to firmly implement social spending cuts.
In any case, such crises are dangerous, as long as the working masses have no political voice of their own. The last years of the Weimar Republic were characterised by the decline and collapse of the bourgeois parties, until the economic, military and political elite finally decided to make Hitler chancellor. The failure of the SPD and the KPD (German Communist Party), who had split and paralysed the working class, instead of uniting it against the Nazis, made this possible.
Today, the SPD, the Greens and the Left Party are once again determined to defend the capitalist system with every means at their disposal. They are prepared to take up government responsibility, to carry out budget cuts and to implement the related spending cuts against workers, the unemployed and pensioners.
So long as the working class does not intervene independently, the "solution" of the crisis will inevitably take on an increasingly reactionary and authoritarian form. The public debate about the introduction of "citizen's labour"—a form of forced labour to be imposed on unemployment benefit recipients—is a sign of this, as are the proposals being made for massive cuts in social spending. And discussion about deploying the military in defence of national economic interests, kicked off by Horst Köhler, will continue after his departure.
The resignation of Köhler, the trailblazer for the CDU/Liberal coalition, is symptomatic of a deep crisis in ruling political circles. But this affords no grounds for complacency. Rather, it should act as a spur to build a new party that shows a way out of the crisis in the interests of working people. That is only possible on the basis of a programme that replaces capitalism with socialist society, a society that organises production to meet social needs and not the profits of banking and business concerns.

Post subject: Bobby Charlton on small metal disc?
I have been recently researching the following metal disc. it measures approximately 2 inches, and was purchased from a seller in Argentina.
It`s reverse is a plain metal finish. It is also magnetic.
It is numbered, so would appear to be part of a wider collection.
Or a Petrol Garage type promo item?


The biggest change in insurance over the last decade has been the advent of the mobile strategy. Customers are no longer tied to their PC, which means businesses have to find a better way to connect with both agents and policyholders. In the past, some industries, including insurance, ignored technology advancements until there was no longer any choice. That lack of strategic thinking doesn't work today because customers have higher expectations for every company they do with—including insurance carriers. This month, we asked three industry analysts for their take on this issue. Responding were Frank Petersmark, associate vice president of Novarica; Karlyn Carnahan, research director for Celent; and Ellen Carney, principal analyst, insurance e-business and channel strategy, for Forrester.
customer expectations in regard to mobility?
That's easy for carriers to do; all they have to do is peruse retail and financial apps they already use as consumers. Because what insurance customers expect is the same mobile experiences they're used to getting from other industries, which is something they're not currently getting from their insurance carrier.
The second part is more difficult.
Carriers have to implement the types of architectural models, data platforms, software, and processes that support a responsive, flexible, and dynamic mobile platform.
Once they've done that, they'll be in position to meet those expectations— expectations that will evolve as new mobile technologies and capabilities are introduced in non-insurance industries.
The basic features of inquiry and basic transactions such as bill pay and first notice of loss on any device have become table stakes.
Use gamification techniques to give the customers points and badges, include push notifications, and links to interesting content. Savvy carriers are working to be the app that customers check while they're in line at the bank and that only happens if the content is engaging.
Don't forget App Store Optimization to assure that your app is easily found in an app store's search results.
Innovation is an essential component in the mobile improvement process, yet innovation is hard, particularly in rigid and heavily regulated industries like insurance.
Beyond basic use of the mobile device's sensors to measure driving behavior or its camera for loss estimating, many digital insurance teams have barely scratched the surface of mobile opportunity.
Digital insurance teams must do more than streamline mobile experiences; they must look for ways to use mobile technology to optimize the entire insurance business model. The continuous creation of great mobile experiences for customers means that digital insurance teams must blend the art of the mobile " possible" with the science derived from strong analytics and development frameworks.
Successful digital insurance teams bridge art and science by creating environments that prize both innovation and entrepreneurship to capitalize on the opportunities that mobile creates and the mastery of continuous improvement quality methodologies like Six Sigma and Lean that ensure proper execution.

Q: Array of templated objects Here is my task:
Realize template class which will represent cuboid, where length, width and height can be any data type.
Array of cuboids can also be argument of template function, so overload all needed operators.
(When compare cuboids, larger is one with larger volume)
Here is what I did:
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

template <class T>
class cuboid{
private:
    int length_of_array;
    T length, width, height;
    T * arr;
public:
    cuboid();
    cuboid(T *, int);
    cuboid(T, T, T);
    ~cuboid();
    cuboid(const cuboid &);
    T volume();
};

template <class T>
cuboid<T>::cuboid(){
}

template <class T>
cuboid<T>::cuboid (T *n, int len){
    length_of_array = len;
    arr = new cuboid <T> [length_of_array];
    for(int i = 0; i < length_of_array; i++){
    arr[i] = n[i];
    }
}

template <class T>
cuboid<T>::cuboid(T o, T s, T v){
    length = o;
    width = s;
    height = v;
}

template <class T>
cuboid<T>::~cuboid(){
    delete [] arr;
    arr = 0;
}

template <class T>
T cuboid<T>::volume(){
    return length * width * height;
}

template <class T>
cuboid<T>::cuboid(const cuboid & source){
    length_of_array = source.length_of_array;
    arr = new cuboid <T> [length_of_array];
    for(int i = 0; i < length_of_array; i++){
    arr[i] = source.arr[i];
    }
}

int main(){
    int a, b, c, length;
    cuboid <int> *n;
    cout << "How many cuboids array contains? " << endl;
    cin >> length;
    n = new cuboid <int> [length];
    for(int i = 0; i < length; i++){
    cin >> a >> b >> c;
    n[i] = cuboid <int> (a,b,c);
    }
    cuboid <int> arr(n, length);
}

I can't compile it (because of last line in main program). Any idea?

A: If you look at your compile error:
main.cpp:70:31: error: no matching function for call to 'cuboid<int>::cuboid(cuboid<int>*&, int&)'
     cuboid <int> arr(n, length);
                               ^

It tells you that you don't have the appropriate constructor. You're trying to call cuboid<int>(cuboid<int>*, int), but all you have is cuboid<int>(int*, int). Now, I could tell you how to fix this specifically, but instead I will fix your other problem: your design.
Your problem is:

Realize template class which will represent cuboid, where length, width and height can be any data type.

And part of your solution to that makes perfect sense:
template <class T>
class cuboid {
private:
    T length, width, height;
};

But why does it also have a T* and a length? What is the array for? And why are you assigning that array to a cuboid* in your constructor? That code only compiles because you never instantiated that constructor. If you want a collection of cuboids, the right way to do that is to use a container class. Something like:
std::vector<cuboid<int>> cuboids;
for (int i = 0; i < length; ++i) {
    cin >> a >> b >> c;
    cuboids.push_back(cuboid(a, b, c));
}

Writing a class that is both a cuboid and a collection of them, even if you wrote it correctly, is a pretty clear violation of the single responsibility principle

A: For cuboid<int> you have a constructor that accepts int*, int parameters, not cuboid<int>*, int. You should write a copy constructor:
cuboid(const cuboid<T>&);

or (in this case more straighforward) a constructor from another cuboid pointer:
cuboid(const cuboid<T>*)

or (not encouraged) provide a getter to access the inner array:
const T* get_arr() const;

(and change the cuboid<T>::cuboid(T*, int) constructor to take const T*).

Епи́скоп Михаи́л (в миру Михаи́л Алексе́евич Стороже́нко, с 1957 года — Мише́ль Стор, ; 16 сентября 1924, Харьков, Украина — 23 апреля 2019, Франция) — архиерей Константинопольской православной церкви, викарий Западноевропейского экзархата русских приходов, титулярный епископ Клавдиопольский (1995—2019).

Тезоименитство — 8 ноября (Архистратига Михаила)

Биография
Родился 16 сентября 1924 года в Харькове.

В 1943 году эмигрировал с остатками побеждённой немецкой армии через Польшу и Германию, и добрался до лагеря для перемещённых лиц под городом Льеж-Шарлеруа в восточной части Бельгии, где устроился на чёрный труд в шахтах и на заводах. В конце Второй мировой войны, находясь в эмиграции в Бельгии, изменил год рождения на 1929, на пять лет уменьшив возраст в своих официальных документах, чтобы избежать предусмотренной соглашениями Ялтинской конференции насильственной репатриации в СССР, так как в этой стране бывшие советские граждане, не достигшие совершеннолетия, не подлежали депортации.

Находясь в Бельгии, он познакомился с местными русскими православными общинами, возглавляемыми в то время протоиереем Иоанном Бекишем и протоиереем Валентом Роменским. Большую роль в его дальнейшую жизнь оказало посещение лагерей русских перемещенных лиц в Бельгии в 1948 году епископом Кассианом (Безобразовым), состоящим тогда ректором Свято-Сергиевского богословского института в Париже, и архимандритом Саввой (Шимкевичем), епархиальным секретарём при митрополите Владимире (Тихоницком). Оба убедили Михаила приехать в Париж и поступить в Свято-Сергиевский богословский институт, что он и сделал в 1949 году.

Живя в Париже, работал электротехником. В институте обнаружился его исключительный голос мощного бархатного баса, и он стал петь в церковном хоре храма Сергиевского подворья под управлением сперва М. М. Осоргина, а потом его сына Н. М. Осоргина. В 1953 года окончил Свято-Сергиевский институт со степенью магистра богословия, защитив курсовое сочинение о митрополите Филарете Московском, написанное под руководством профессора А. В. Карташёва.

С 1953 года выступал на балах Казачьего союза, участвовал в концертах и благотворительных вечерах в пользу Сергиевского подворья, Богословского института в Париже и др. С 1954 по 1957 год учился в Школе пения Инны Роговской.

7 декабря 1957 года епископом Кассианом (Безобразовым) рукоположён во диакона и служил в Александро-Невском соборе в Париже.

В 1966 году после ухода на пенсию соборного протодиакона Василия Дегтярёва постановлением архиепископа Георгия (Тарасова) был определён первым штатным диаконом Александро-Невского кафедрального собора в Париже с возведением в сан протодиакона. В 1978 году тем же архиереем он был удостоен права ношения камилавки.

Был женат на Ирине Фёдоровне Стороженко. 22 октября 1990 года овдовел.

30 марта 1995 года Священным синодом Константинопольской церкви был избран титулярным епископом Клавдиопольским, викарием Западноевропейского экзархата русских приходов Константинопольского патриархата. 25 мая рукоположён во священника архиепископом Сергием (Коноваловым), в том же году пострижен в монашество, 8 октября хиротонисан во епископа. Служил на Сергиевском подворье в Париже.

1 мая 2003 года был одним из трёх кандидатов на выборах предстоятеля Архиепископии. В своей речи на Чрезвычайном епархиальном собрании Архиепископии поддержал предложение патриарха Московского Алексия II (послание последнего от 1 апреля 2003 года) учредить в Западней Европе единый митрополичий округ Московского патриархата, который бы включал все православные приходы, монастыри и общины русского происхождения и русской духовной традиции, выразив убеждение, что пришло время для преодоления разделений. С точки зрения епископа Михаила, объединение трёх юрисдикций в одну автономную митрополию будет первым этапом на пути к поместной полиэтнической Церкви, тогда как отказаться от этого предложения — значит, взять на себя ответственность за продолжение разделения. Тем не менее, большинство собравшихся его не поддержало. В первом туре епископ Михаил получил 44 голоса, уступив епископу Команскому Гавриилу (де Вильдеру), набравшему 118 голосов.

После этого перестал принимать участия в заседаниях Епархиального совета Архиепископии, членом которого он состоял по должности с 1995 года, как и в жизни Архиепископии вообще, но продолжал служить по воскресениям и большим праздникам в храме Сергиевского подворья.

17 декабря 2009 года освобождён от должности настоятеля прихода преподобного Сергия Радонежского в Париже по причине возраста и состояния здоровья. За епископом сохранилась должность наместника Свято-Сергиевского Подворья и предстоятельство на богослужениях в храме преподобного Сергия Радонежского.

Последние годы жизни проводил в доме дочери под городом Шартр, страдая тяжёлым заболеванием почек, в связи с чем приходилось ему делать диализ каждый два дня. Его временами навещали разные священники из Парижа.

Скончался 22 апреля 2019 года. 29 апреля, в Светлый понедельник, в Александро-Невском соборе в Париже архиепископ Иоанн (Реннето) возглавил отпевание почившего, зачитав соболезнование патриарха Константинопольского Варфоломея. Похоронен на русском кладбище Сент-Женевьев-де-Буа.

Однак через поломку стикувального агрегату корабля не вдалось повністю стягнути корабель і станцію і забезпечити герметичність стику. Перехід на ОС «Салют» скасовано, політ припинено достроково після обльоту станції «Салют» і її фотографування.

З травня 1973 року проходив підготовку за радянсько-американською програмою ЕПАС. Був призначений бортінженером другого екіпажу.

 Другий космічний політ: 2-8 грудня 1974 року бортінженером космічного корабля Союз-16 разом з Анатолієм Філіпченком. Тривалість польоту: 5 діб 22 години 23 хвилини 35 секунд. В польоті випробувано нову модифікацію корабля 7К-ТМ зі стикувальним вузлом для програми ЕПАС.

Під час старту КК Союз-19 15 липня 1975 року був дублером бортінженера корабля.

Надалі готувався за програмами міжнародних польотів. Був членом дублерного екіпажу під час радянсько-чехословацького польоту 2-10 березня 1978 року.

 Третій космічний політ: 10-12 квітня 1979 командиром космічного корабля Союз-33 (перший цивільний спеціаліст — командир радянського космічного корабля). Тривалість польоту: 1 доба 23 години 1 хвилина 6 секунд. Політ відбувався за радянсько-болгарським проектом і передбачав роботу на борту орбітальної станції Салют-6. Через аварію двигуна корабля стикування не відбулось і корабель здійснив аварійну посадку.

Готувався до радянсько-індійського польоту, але через хворобу не брав участі в польоті.

Пішов з загону космонавтів і з 7 липня 1987 року продовжив працювати заступником керівника 19го комплексу НВО (РКК) «Енергія». В листопаді 1999 року звільнений з РКК «Енергія» у зв'язку з виходом на пенсію.

WVU Medicine takes over struggling hospital in rural West Virginia
Ron Southwick
The system is going to take over Welch Community Hospital, a small hospital in the southern part of the state. WVU says patients will get access to more services.
In his State of the State Address, West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice said Welch Community Hospital is in a rural area that "got left way, way, way, way behind."
And the hospital has had a "tough going," with serious financial struggles, Justice said. The state had managed the 65-bed hospital in the southern part of the state. It's the only acute care hospital in McDowell County, home to about 18,000 residents, according to Census data.
But Justice is optimistic that the hospital will have a brighter future, now that WVU Medicine is going to take over the hospital.
In the next several weeks, WVU Health System, the state of West Virginia, and McDowell County are expected to sign a letter of intent for Welch Community Hospital to join the WVU Health System by the end of the year. Regulators must give final approval of the deal. WVU Medicine and the governor announced the deal last week.
"As we assessed the ongoing healthcare needs and challenges in McDowell County and our own ability to continue managing a hospital so important to the community, we concluded having Welch Community Hospital join the WVU Medicine family made all the sense in the world," Justice said in a statement.
WVU Medicine and the governor said the hospital, and the area's residents, would get more access to healthcare services. The hospital also joins a health system with a common electronic medical record, WVU Medicine noted.

Albert Wright, president and CEO of the WVU Health System, said he's looking forward to having the hospital join the system.
"We're also very excited by the idea of us extending our network of care into one of West Virginia's most distressed areas to care for some of our state's most vulnerable citizens," Wright said in a statement. "This really cuts to who we are as an organization and the spirit of our mission."
The state is looking to find long-term care providers to take over the hospital's 59-bed long-term care unit.
Rural hospitals across America are struggling to stay alive. Since 2010, more than 130 rural hospitals have closed, according to an American Hospital Association report.
More than 600 rural hospitals, nearly 30% of America's rural hospitals, are at risk of closing in the near future, according to the Center for Healthcare Quality and Payment Reform. Over 200 hospitals are at immediate risk of closure, the center projected.
Rural hospitals account for about 35% of all of America's hospitals, and many of them are small but indispensable healthcare providers for their communities. About half of all rural hospitals have 25 beds or less.
When rural hospitals shut down, other hospitals experience additional stress, a Penn State Health study found. The researchers examined 53 rural hospital closures and the impact on 93 bystander hospitals. Two years after the closure of a rural hospital, emergency department visits increased by an average of 10.2%.

At TWRU Private Wealth Management, we use the following systematic consulting process for uncovering your most important goals and for designing and implementing appropriate solutions.
1. Discovery Meeting: At our initial meeting, we conduct a discovery interview. This helps us identify the challenges you face in achieving all that is important to you. We examine your current situation, the goals you would like to achieve and how we can maximize the possibility of achieving those goals. From this data, we create a Financial Independence Plan – the basis for the investment plan.
2. Investment Plan Meeting: At this meeting, we present our diagnostic of your current situation and our recommendations for how we can bridge the gaps in order for you to reach your goals. This plan forms the foundation for all of our work together.
3. Mutual Commitment Meeting: At this meeting, we are ready to make a mutual decision about whether our firm can add substantial value and whether we should proceed. Should we both choose to work together, we commit to each other to work toward achieving everything that is important to you and your family. We also execute the documents necessary to put your investment plan into motion.
4. 45-Day Follow-Up Meeting: When you have multiple investment accounts, it's easy to become overwhelmed with the amount of paperwork you receive. At this meeting, we help you organize all that paperwork in a notebook that we provide. We also answer any questions you may have so that you understand exactly what is happening with your money.
5. Regular Progress Meetings: These meetings, which we schedule at intervals convenient to you, provide us an opportunity to review any major changes in your personal or financial situation since our last meeting. If these changes mean that we need to make adjustments to your investment plan, we do so. We also review your overall progress toward your long-term financial goals. This meeting is also our opportunity to implement wealth management solutions that may be appropriate for your situation. We will present to you our wealth management plan at our first Regular Progress meeting so that we can prioritize those areas of greatest importance to you and then begin to address them systematically.

Q: PHP Fatal error: Class 'Phalcon\Script\Color' not found I'm running Ubuntu Server 12.10 and have installed phalcon like this
sudo apt-get install php5-dev php5-mysql gcc git-core
git clone git://github.com/phalcon/cphalcon.git
cd cphalcon/build
sudo ./install

then I've added
extension=/usr/lib/php5/20100525/phalcon.so

to php.ini which located in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and restarted apache2. If I execute
<?php print_r(get_loaded_extensions()); ?>

I can see that the phalcon extension is loaded. Then I've installed phalcon-devtools like that
git clone git://github.com/phalcon/phalcon-devtools.git
cd phalcon-devtools
sudo ./phalcon.sh

and restarted apache2. No errors were shown during that operations, but when I'm trying to execute
phalcon commands

I get an error like this
PHP Fatal error:  Class 'Phalcon\Script\Color' not found in /home/user/phalcon-devtools/phalcon.php on line 84

What I'm doing wrong?

A: So the problem was in php.ini for CLI, which is located in /etc/php5/cli/, after I added extension=/usr/lib/php5/20100525/phalcon.so there, I was able to use Devtools. Thanks to @NikolaosDimopoulos

A: Official documentation is a bit confusing so try this:
I think this is a problem of extension not loaded
After successfully compile steps:
sudo apt-get install php5-dev php5-mysql gcc git-core
git clone git https://github.com/Phalcon/cphalcon.git
cphalcon cd/build
sudo ./install

Create a new file called "30-phalcon.ini"
and within it call the extension Phalcon with this single line:
extension=phalcon.so

save the file and copy the folder "/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d /" and "/etc/php5/cli/conf.d/"
restart the server: sudo service apache2 restart
While the devtools do this:
sudo git clone https://github.com/phalcon/phalcon-devtools /var/www/devtools

then create a symbolic link to run via terminal:
1: sudo ln -s /var/www/devtools/phalcon.php /usr/bin/phalcon
2: sudo chmod ugo+x /usr/bin/phalcon
3: type "phalcon" in the terminal and see if it's work.
it should work now: D

A: I always install the devtools from the PEAR channel
pear channel-discover pear.phalconphp.com
pear install phalcon/Devtools

You might get an error that the Devtools are not in stable mode but (as of the time of this writing) you can use this command:
pear install phalcon/Devtools-0.5.0

We are OPEN for Classes at FULL Capacity.
Rock Star Families,
The state is calling on businesses to have signage requiring unvaccinated people to wear face coverings and is giving businesses three options for enforcing unvaccinated people to wear face coverings:
1) Allowing people to "self attest" their vaccine status
2) Implementing a vaccine verification system
3) Requiring everyone, including fully vaccinated individuals, to wear masks
We won't ask. We believe this is a personal medical decision. We are welcoming masks... But they are not required.
We will just have posters and our sign up... And let the adults make their own decision.
We are a Gym... No face mask required. But it will be welcomed to those who want to wear it.
We believe in supporting the right to those who feel strongly about continuing to wear masks or to not wear the masks.
Bulling will absolutely NOT be permitted. If you are caught speaking to anyone about why they should or shouldn't wear a mask on premises... You will be kindly asked to leave.
One spectator per athlete is still encouraged. Down Stairs Class Kids get Dropped off at the Rear Entrance of the Building. Spectators and Upstairs Classes Enter and Exit through main entrance.

We're here to help! Everyone has to start somewhere. Here's a little bit about how we got started. Some of you may not know… but Miss Lonna started her own Business and Gymnastics Program on December 11, 2007 in the City of Chula Vista as The San Diego Gymnastics Academy. This Program grew and was busting at the seems from the Montgomery Waller Recreation Center on Thursdays. She soon added classes on Tuesdays and Fridays… but still needed more room and time for her growing students. She started another program at the San Ysidro Recreation Center off of Diza Road on Wednesdays and Saturdays as well. Soon… She had her first Gymnasts, Ana Lisset Gonzalez and Alyssa Zatarain, ready to Compete. From that point on… our Competitive Team erupted onto the Competitive scene with more gymnasts like; Abigail Cornejo, Mia Fillipini, Brooke Abrantes, Adrienne Fernandez, Alani Johnson, Kassidy Davis, Lisette Soto and many more! Some of our Gymnasts won 1st place on Events and in All-Around at STATE in their first year Competing!!!! But to our surprise… There was another San Diego Gymnastics Academy that opened up on October 27, 2007 on the State Level. Our companies never crossed paths until we were at a Competition and there were TWO "San Diego Gymnastics Academy's" and our girls didn't know when to Salute! lol… Well… as you guessed it… we had to change our name to "Rock Star Gymnastics Academy" because we indeed got our name 41 days after the first San Diego Gymnastics Academy. We have a Good Competitive Relationship with the San Diego Gymnastics Academy and have nothing but good feelings towards their Team, Staff & Owners.
With that being said… ROCK STAR GYMNASTICS ACADEMY has become a place built for the Kids of the South Bay and Beyond. We have a completely open door policy and try our best to make each of our Students feel like part of our Rock Star Family. We strive to be the kind of place where you and your Children can come to Relax, have Fun, and Learn one of the Oldest and Greatest Sports in the World, Gymnastics. We offer our Recreational and Competitive program to Boys and Girls ages 12 months through 23 years of age… Preschool, School-Age, Home School, Charter School, Junior High, High School and College!
We feel strongly that our most important Mission in this World is to Teach the Kids. We take Pride in influencing their lives as well as their families, and Respect and Value the Daily Connections we make as a Team and Gym Family.
Rock Star Gymnastics Academy: Where we Teach Our Kids to be Solid as a ROCK and Shine like a STAR!
At Rock Star Gymnastics Academy we offer both Recreation and Competitive Classes to both Boys and Girls. Our Rock Star Family includes residents from Chula Vista and San Diego County. Our students come for Recreation, Fun & Fitness. Our Rock Stars also develop Self-Confidence, Coordination & Social Development Skills in Classes and Community Events. Our Gymnasts may begin Competitive Training as early as age 5 and Level 3! Parents of our Rock Stars have been known to say, "I've never seen them so happy to exercise!" The Structured classes are a great overall outlet for all that Extra Energy!
Nothing is more Important than your Child's Self-Confidence. Be assured that we keep Safety in mind as we provide a Positive and Fun Learning Experience. We except children as early as 12 months all the way up to 23 years of age! Physical, Mental, and Social Challenges await your Child in our Quality Programs. Watch your Child's Confidence grow as they Experience both Small and Big Successes.
Gymnastics is one of the most Fundamental and Exciting of all Physical Activities. Basic gymnastics skills develop attributes that are perfect Stepping Stones for other sports. In our classes children learn Flexibility, Balance, Strength, Discipline and Agility. Through proper Instruction, children enrolled in Gymnastics Programs demonstrate a heightened progress in a number of Key Developmental areas.
Coordination: Learned through basic Gymnastics Skills, a child develops a keener sense of Balance, Coordinated Movement & Body and Spatial Awareness.
Confidence: Gymnastics training is based on learning a Progression of Skills. As a gymnast moves from Easy Movements to more Complex Skills, he/she develops a sense of Accomplishment and a Natural Confidence in his/her Abilities.
Goal Orientation: The progressive nature of Gymnastics teaches a child the purpose and value of Setting Goals for his/her efforts… a valuable lesson at any age.
Discipline: Gymnastics is its own best reward. As gymnasts progress, they learn that in order to Improve, certain things have to be done in a certain way each time if it's going to work. That requires Discipline. The incentive for applying that discipline is basic: Pure Fun! Children learn very early that discipline can lead to some very enjoyable Successes.
Organization: Still in its early stages, recent research suggests Physical Training in Gymnastics enhances a Typical Progress. While having more fun, a child is required to be Organized, Disciplined and focused on the Task at Hand. As a Natural Outgrowth of Training, Children learn to Approach the Challenges of Life Logically, Sensibly and with Confidence.
Creativity: Gymnastics allows children to express themselves in a Unique and Individualized way. So much of gymnastics is Exploration. Children are constantly challenged to try New Skills, to discover just how much they can accomplish with Hard Work and Creative Thinking. The list of benefits goes on, Fueled by the Potential and the Promise the Sport of Gymnastics holds for each child who Wanders into the gym and learns how to Stretch his or her Wings and Mind.

This lovely Toronto beach engagement is one of those engagement shoots that I look back on in the dead of winter and think – how is it possible that it was ever that warm and pleasant? We took our shoes off and walked through the sand splashing in the beach and it really felt like bonafide summer.
Catherine and Eric were amazing and are so in love. Catherine has sm-eyezing down pat so she and I had some fun playing together. We bonded over our love for travel – they got engaged in Hawaii and I've always wanted to go there – and they're going on a Mediterranean cruise on their honeymoon which gave me an instant pasta craving — very jealous!
So, this location was kind of perfect for these two – other than being gorgeous it kind of feels like a mini vacation for a few hours. As we walked away we kept marvelling how crazy it is that this lovely place exists in Toronto!

Leeds scientist's key role in rinderpest eradication
Rinderpest – a virus that can be deadly to cattle – will be officially eradicated in the next year thanks, in part, to the work done by Leeds scientist Dr Anke Brüning-Richardson.
Dr Brüning-Richardson, now a Senior Research Fellow in the Microcephaly and Cancer Group at the Leeds Institute of Molecular Medicine, previously worked at the Institute for Animal Health Pirbright developing a rapid pen-side diagnostic chromatographic strip test for the detection of rinderpest in the field.
"This test was developed, validated and field trialled by myself and is now commercially available," explains Dr Brüning-Richardson. "It was crucial in the final steps of the global rinderpest eradication programme (GREP) as reported recently in the media, including BBC Science News website and the Guardian. Rinderpest will be officially declared eradicated in the next year, the only second disease globally eradicated after small pox."
Rinderpest was prevalent in the Middle East, Africa and Asia, and the eradication of the virus is an enormous step forward which will save the lives and livelihoods of many of the poorest people in the world.

Vote for "Congressman Ted Deutch gives his full support for Israel's security" in the Inspired by Israel video contest!
Congressman Ted Deutch gives his full support for Israel's security
From the website of Congressman Ted Deutch
Congressman Ted Deutch is a passionate supporter of Israel whose advocacy for a strong U.S.-Israel relationship stretches back to his youth. Ted spent his summers at Zionist summer camp, worked as a student activist in high school and college, and served in leadership roles on several local and national Jewish organizations throughout his professional career. Today, Ted serves as Ranking Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee's influential Middle East and North Africa Subcommittee, where he continues to champion Israel's security during a time of great volatility in the Middle East.
Ted first gained national recognition as a leader in the pro-Israel community as a member of the Florida State Senate, where he passed the nation's first law mandating that public pension funds not be invested in Iran's illicit quest for nuclear weapons. His work led him to testify before Congress on Iran sanctions, hold strategy discussions with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and eventually, pass his own legislation in the House of Representatives to crack down on companies that financially support Iran's nuclear weapons program.
Ted was traveling on a fact-finding mission in the Middle East in the summer of 2014 when three Israeli innocent teens, Gilad Shaar, Naftali Frankel and Eyal Yifrac, were murdered by Hamas terrorists. After mourning the victims, Ted condemned their killings as well as the murder of a Palestinian teen in the days thereafter. When Hamas then launched a campaign of rocket attacks against Israel, Ted played a leading role in condemning the use of innocent Palestinian civilians as human shields in an effort to incite international criticism of Israel's defense operations. In July, Ted passed a bipartisan resolution through Congress condemning the use of human shields by Hamas and other terrorist groups that violate international law.
Most recently, Ted passed legislation enhancing U.S.-Israel cooperation in new areas like energy, agriculture, and cybersecurity. The U.S.-Israel Strategic Partnership Act, co-introduced with Middle East and North Africa Subcommittee Chairman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Obama in December 2014. Ted will continue to work across the aisle in the 114th Congress to advance Israel's security and promote a strong U.S.-Israel relationship. Fighting efforts to delegitimize Israel on the world stage, working to dismantle Iran's illicit nuclear weapons program, and promoting security in the Middle East will remain among his top priorities.


Bombay Shake Red Chilies is the perfect addition to any hummus dip, lending chili and garlic bites...and a lot of flavour!
This hummus recipe is an Indian-Mexican fusion between the Bombay Shake Indian spices and the avocado, chunky tomatoes, cilantro garnish, and a good squirt of lime or lemon juice.
Always a great dipper for veggies or flatbreads or really delicious as a spread in a vegetarian sandwich.
I make at least one variation of hummus weekly, having it ready for weekday lunches and snacks. If you like flavour and a bit of heat try the Bombay Shake Red Chilies. For a milder and garlicky option, try Bombay Shake Garlic.
1) In a food processor, puree chick peas, avocado, olive oil, lemon juice, BOMBAY SHAKE RED CHILIES and sea salt, to taste.
2) Mix in tomato and garnish with cilantro.

Q: Most cost effective way to test USB 3.0 eye diagrams I saw this question addressing testing USB 2, but I was wondering what the most cost effective way to test USB 3.0 superspeed was. Obviously the frequencies are far higher (multiple GHz), so the test equipment gets more expensive. The Infiniium 90000A is one that people use, but it's >$40k. Are there any cheaper options or methods?

A: BeB00, unfortunately you are sorely mistaken underestimating the challenge. The USB 3.0 eye qualification requires at least a 6 GHz scope, which will bring you into ~$75k area.
More, if you mean a wider USB 3.0 qualification, the price tag is substantially higher. To begin, you will need a set of RF-grade test fixtures, which will run into additional $15-$20K. You will need a special signal generator (~$100K) to test LFPS signaling, BERT system (~$150K), protocol analyzer (another $25k), and a set of certified (USB-IF approved) devices. Last time I recall the bill was approaching $0.5M mark.
ADDITION: To evaluate USB 3.0 signals (eye diagram), you must have a qualified oscilloscope with DSP capabilities and corresponding software installed. Old direct methods don't work because the signal eye is typically closed at the far end of transmission link, sometimes completely, as this Teledyne/LeCroy article illustrates on PCIe example:

and the receiving device (scope in this case) must use CTLE to open it, which implies a continuous sequential sampling of signals.

A:
I was wondering what the most cost effective way to test USB 3.0 superspeed was

Go to a lab with the right equipment and people who knows how to use it. Have them measure your device, pay what they ask, then go home and implement their suggestions.
Perhaps not what you actually ask for, but likely the only alternative for someone who has to ask the price...

Google's Nest reveals upgrades, new camera for smart home
Google has new eyes for your home. I'm Bridget Carey, this is your cnet update [MUSIC] Google is making a bigger push to become the leader of smarthome gadgetry through nest, a company it purchased last year that makes smarthome thermostat's, smoke detectors And it also owns the Dropcam Home Monitoring Cameras. Well, Nest just announced a few upgrades to its product line. It's ditching the Dropcam brand for a new name. It's now the Nestcam, and it's upgraded with 1080p resolution, so you can monitor your pets in HiDef clarity. This indoor camera costs $200, and it brings night vision and motion and sound alert monitoring. If you want to archive your video footage, that's gonna be an extra service you have to buy called Nest Aware. It starts at $10 a month. An upgraded Nest Protect smoke detector is coming out next month for $100. If it detects smoke it can tell your Nest thermostat to turn off and then send your phone an alert. Also getting an upgrade is Amazon's Kindle Paperwhite e-reader. It does all the same things as before, but now it has a better high resolution display. It's actually the same screen as the more expensive top of the line model Kindle Voyage. The Voyage is $200 and this new Paperwhite is $120. And it's available for pre-order now, shipping on June 30th. There are some changes going on in the social media world. This week Facebook came out with a new app, it's called Moments and it's on a mission to make it easier to share photos among friends. Often we never get around to sending photos to our friends because uploading can be a hassle. But Facebook's app can scan all of the photos you took on your phone, lump together based on faces and the time they were taken, and then you can give select friends access to the groups of photos they are in. And Facebook recommends who to share a photo with By using facial-recognition technology. This is the same system that is used to suggest who to tag in a photo, and you can turn off in settings. It's a big unnerving Facebook access to your entire camera rule. But it's not posted online unless you tell it to post it. On Twitter, you're gonna now notice videos will now begin to auto play, just like Facebook does. Not only is it annoying, but it's a huge data drain on your phone, so be sure to go into settings and either turn it off, or change it so only auto play is when you're on wi-fi. And YouTube is hoping to draw in more of the gaming community with a new hub just for watching other people's video gaming streams. It's called YouTube Gaming, and it's Google's way of competing with Twitch, a popular video game live streaming site owned by Amazon. Now this hub is going to pull in all of YouTube's gaming videos and it'll go live in a In a few weeks. That's it for this tech news update. There's always more at ww.cnet.com.

TECHNOLOGIES OF FOCUS
Funded Research in Progress
EMAIL US info@globalhumanaging.org
The Sinclair Lab, Harvard University:
At the Sinclair Lab, research is being conducted on the use of a unique DNA repair compound AC-11 in combination with nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN). The unique combination of these two ingredients may create the basis of an oral compound to be used by NASA in future space flight journeys in order to buffer and repair the damage to DNA caused by space radiation.
Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard University:
After meeting with Dr. Marasco, Dr. Giampapa agreed to have the foundation fund research specifically focused on using a unique strain of humanized mice to document the changes in the epigenome in minute detail, so as to be able to evaluate the efficiency of different drugs as well as DNA segments to alter the gene activity of cells to function more optimally during the aging process. The first drug to be tested will be Metformin, which has already shown signs of being a likely candidate for an anti-aging drug therapy in the near future.
Whitehead Institute:
Funding for the Institute was given to encourage its ongoing work with natural plant compounds that can have an impact on improving cellular function in aging cells.
Wellomics, Inc.:
Located at the University of New England, Wellomics™ believes that the tipping point of a new paradigm of consumer empowered evidence-based wellness is on the horizon. Wellomics™ focuses its efforts on natural products for the dietary supplement and food/beverage industry. Our Effect Positioning System (EPS) utilizes information flow analysis that includes all known drugs, cellular signaling pathways, adverse event reports, omics analyses, and other databases. Several publications in highly respected journals describe the early prototype system, initially developed for drug discovery and polypharmacy adverse event analyses. Wellomics™ IP adaptation of this system to the natural products industry fills the gap between unsubstantiated product claims and science evidence-based formulations with validated IP to ensure ROI.
Over the last five months, significant enhancements in the algorithms, ontologies, and data mining tools have made possible a truly unique platform that is generating significant insights in the development of new, game-changing natural health products. All ingredient choices are based on leading information technology to mine and analyze entire biochemosphere™ of over 290,000 natural products and OTC pharmaceuticals.
Accordingly, the capacity of the prototype database has been expanded to include substances and synonyms approximating 64 million entries. The database content according to subsection is as follows: (1) ontologies for 170,000 herbal monomers (natural products); (2) most medicinal used plants (approximating 9000 entries); (3) most prescription drugs; (4) thousands of recipes for traditional medicines; (5) SNP data, (6) gene expression data; (7) micro RNA libraries; (8) microbiome libraries; (9) libraries of algae, (10) disease, (11) organ systems, (12) side effects (MedDRA, latest Version 20.0), (13) physiological effects, (14) cell compartment, and (15) the entire PubMed universe of chemical and biological active substances, updated to present (2017).
Moreover, systems pharmacology based screening paradigms have been implemented and used to identify preferred ingredients for more than sixteen new products. Currently, extensive data mining screening, hierarchical cluster analyses, and literature validations are being conducted in the design of new multifunctional natural products supporting healthy aging.
Da Vinci Biosciences, Inc.:
Funding to the lab at Da Vinci Biosciences is focused on new cell therapies that can remove senescent cells from the body and limit the production of their products that have been shown to accelerate aging in healthy cells. The same therapy has been shown to enhance immune function in senior and ill patients. Another focus of the funding has been to explore new means of epigenetic reprogramming of damaged and aging cells in order to restore them to optimal function once again. This is especially important for people post-chemotherapy.
The Elton John Foundation:
Aids is a disease that accelerates the aging process, and the recent donation to the Elton John Foundation was given to help with research for improving the life quality of patients with Aids, focusing on immune enhancement.
Feed a Billion:
Childhood malnutrition creates changes in the epigenome of children that last a lifetime, decreasing the quality of life and increasing the incidence of disease. By helping children get appropriate nutrition in early life, we can potentially decrease the incidence of disease as well as the cost of health care later on in life.

Ancient traditions observed in celebrations
Posted on December 31, 2014 by Taber Times
Ancient societies celebrated the dawning of a new year with unique traditions, just as many of our own modern traditions can often be sourced back to the pagan festivals of old.
It has only been in more modern recorded history that the date of Jan. 1 was selected as the start of a new year. The earliest known New Year's celebration is believed to have been in Mesopotamia in 2000 B.C. and was celebrated around the time of the vernal equinox in mid-March. The Egyptians, Phoenicians and Persians rang in the new year with the fall equinox, while the Greeks cracked open the vino on the winter solstice.
We owe the date of our own frigid bacchanalia on Jan. 1 to the Romans, who first celebrated New Year's on that date in 153 B.C. Leave it to the duty-obsessed Romans to choose a date to correspond with their two elected consuls — the most powerful officials in the Roman Republic — taking office for the civic year (not unlike a fiscal year in modern times).
Incidently, the month of January actually sources its name from the Roman god Janus — the two-faced god who symbolized beginnings and endings, as well as the comings and goings of a doorway. Janus' chief festival was held on the first day of the new year, and featured gift-giving, abstention from impure or cruel thoughts, and postponing and ending quarrels.
Later on, fear of an angry God pushed many celebrations of the new year underground in Medieval Europe, which were viewed as pagan, sacreligious and un-Christian. In 567, the Council of Tours even abolished Jan. 1 as the beginning of the new year to keep wayward mead-swilling sinners in their place. It wouldn't be officially restored to Jan. 1 until 1582, when the Gregorian calendar became an accepted standard.
That, however, was only in Catholic jurisdictions — true to form, unruly Protestants didn't easily accept popish dictates from Rome. The British, for example, did not accept the reformed calendar until 1752. Until then, the British Empire, including the American colonies, celebrated New Year's in March.
Often considered a more pivotal celebration in Asiatic cultures than Christmas is in the West, New Year's celebrations have been ongoing in China since the Shang Dynasty (1600 B.C.).
In historical Chinese tradition, New Year's celebrations — which included decorating houses in red trim, burning bamboo, and making loud noises — were designed to ward off a bloodthirsty creature known as Nian, who devoured cattle and villagers alike. The Chinese New Year is still based on a lunar calendar, so the celebration usually takes place in late January or early February.
Residents of Scotland mark the arrival of the new year in a holiday they call "Hogmanay" that hearkens back to the time of Viking invasions, superstitions and classical pagan rituals. Hogmanay celebrations often feature torchlight processions, bonfires and fireworks, while visitors are expected to bear gifts — whiskey, coal, cakes or coin — and should be delivered by a dark-complexioned man. Sound stranger than some? In 8th century Britain getting a visit from a fair-complexioned man (think flaxen-haired Viking pillagers) was not considered a good omen.
In Spain, it is customary to have a dozen grapes at hand when the clock strikes 12 at midnight, with one grape eaten on each stroke. If all are eaten within the period of the strikes, it portends good luck in the new year.
In the Netherlands, the Dutch burn bonfires of Christmas trees on the street and launch fireworks, while in Sweden and Norway, an almond is hidden inside a rice pudding to bring good fortune. And in Buddhist temples around the world, gongs are struck 108 times on New Year's Eve in an effort to ward off 108 types of human weakness.
Besides the idea of gargantuan alcohol-fueled celebrations in conjunction with the new year, tracing their roots back to the Romans and ancient Egyptians, we have of course one last tradition we owe to the venerable conquerors of Carthage — the kiss.
Ritualistic to the last, the Romans incorporated this orgiastic nod into their Solstice and Saturnalia celebrations, where the wine generally flowed as freely as the favour of one's companions — be they male or female.
No matter how you celebrate the new year, be sure to take time to reflect on the year that has passed, and the opportunities represented by the present — that appears to be an almost universal human tradition, no matter what your race, colour, or creed.
Of course, sealing the deal with a Latin-style lip-lock with your beloved — or a total stranger, take your pick — never seems to hurt.
