Niigata Prefecture
Niigata Prefecture (新潟県, Niigata-ken?) is a prefecture in the Chūbu region of Japan on the island of Honshū.[1] The capital city is Niigata.[2]
2.1 National Parks
3 Shrines and Temples
Until after the Meiji Restoration, the area that is now Niigata Prefecture was divided into Echigo Province and Sado Province.[3]
Niigata is next to Yamagata Prefecture, Toyama Prefecture, Nagano Prefecture, Gumma Prefecture and Fukushima prefecture.
Niigata is the fifth largest prefecture in Japan by area.
In winter, it snows a lot in Niigata, and winter sports are popular.
National Parks are established in about 25% of the total land area of the prefecture.[4] including
Bandai-Asahi National Park[5]
Yahiko-jinja, Kota-jinja, Amatsu-jinja and Watatsu-jinja are the chief Shinto shrines (ichinomiya) in the prefecture. [6]

Q: How to store a list of sets of three strings? std::vector<std::pair<std::string > >

can be used to store a list of a pair of strings. Is there a similar way to store a list of triplets of strings?
One way I can think of is to use std::vector
std::vector<std::vector<std::string > > v (4, std::vector<std::string> (3));

but this will not allow me to use the handly first and second accessors.
So, I wrote my own class
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;

template <class T>
class triad {
private:
    T* one;
    T* two;
    T* three;
public:
    triad() {  one = two = three =0;  }
    triad(triad& t) {
        one = new T(t.get1());
        two = new T(t.get2());
        three = new T(t.get3());
    }
    ~triad() {
        delete one;
        delete two;
        delete three;
        one = 0;
        two = 0;
        three = 0;
    }
    T& get1() { return *one; }
    T& get2() { return *two; }
    T& get3() { return *three; }
};

int main() {
    std::vector< triad<std::string> > v;
}

I have two questions

*

*Can my class code be improved in any way?

*Is there any better way to do store triplets of strings than the three ways described above?

A: std::tuple is a generalization of std::pair that lets you store a collection of some size that you specify. So, you can say:
typedef std::tuple<std::string, std::string, std::string> Triad;

to get a type Triad that stores three strings.

A: You can use tuples from boost: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_49_0/libs/tuple/doc/tuple_users_guide.html
(In C++11 tuples are part of standard library: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B11#Tuple_types)

A: As others have mentioned, you should use std::tuple (or boost::tuple).  Nevertheless, I think there are things that you can learn from a critique of your code:

*

*If you want something like std::pair, why didn't you write something that behaved like std::pair?  That is, a class with public data members that copies its items by value?

*If you want something like std::pair, why not make it more generic like std::pair, where the different members can have different types?  Or if you care only about storing std::string members, why bother making it a template class?

*Your copy constructor should take its argument by const reference.

*You didn't follow the Rule of Three.  You have a non-trivial copy constructor and a non-trivial destructor but neglected to implement a copy assignment operator.  However, if you did #1, you wouldn't need to worry about this.

*As written, it is impossible to set your class's data members.  There is no constructor to initialize them with specified values, and there is no way to set them after construction. (If you try triad.get1() = ..., you'll crash trying to dereference a null pointer!)

*Your constructors should initialize their data members using initialization lists.  For example:
triad() : one(0), two(0), three(0) { }

*One of the things that makes std::pair useful over simply making a struct of the desired members is that it comes with operator== and operator<.

*If you really want to use accessor methods, then you should provide const versions.

A: If your triad is specific then create a class, or at least a struct so you can give meaningful names to the members.
struct Contact
{
    std::string name;
    std::string nickname;
    std::string email;
};

std::vector<Contact> contacts;

Advertising and Public Relations students will be intending one of the majors until they have met all the full admissions requirements (see #5). As an intended major, students will not be able to take courses within the track that have full admission status as a prerequisite.
It is strongly recommended that you consult with your assigned advisor, while you are working towards fulfilling the requirements for full admission.
All students pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Arts, can declare their major at orientation (Freshmen status) or meet with a Communication Arts advisor during walk in appointments.
Students who are interested in a particular major should see an advisor for information on exact requirements in order to become admissible into the major. However, for general information, students can refer to the university catalog.
A student currently enrolled at FIU as a degree-seeking student will need to complete a Change of Program Plan form and submit it to a Department of Communication advisor.
Since program requirements are subject to change the Department of Communication encourages students to meet with their assigned advisor at least once a semester.
Students with junior or senior-standing who are not fully admitted into their respective major must see an advisor before registration. Students (Advertising and Public Relations) may be prohibited from continuing to study in the Department of Communication. It is imperative to stay in constant contact with an advisor to further ensure a successful transition thru the college.
2. What is an advising hold?
All students in the Department of Communication are required to meet with their advisors prior to registration. The advisor will work with the student to develop a plan to gain full admission to the college. The requirement for advising will be noted on your Registration Access Information.
Advertising and Public Relations majors who have not completed MMC 3003 (orientation) or have not been fully admitted into their respective majors will receive an advising hold.
It is strongly recommended that students should see their assigned advisor at least once a semester. Furthermore, undergraduate students with around 30 credits who are interested in the Department of Communication program should start contacting the advisors for further guidance.
All Department of Communication students are assigned to an advisor. Students can find the information on their Student Dashboard by logging onto my.fiu.edu.
Department of Communication majors are advised at the Biscayne Bay Campus and Modesto Maidique Campus. The campus depends on where your assigned advisor is located. Advising hours may vary, so students should check their Student Dashboard to see their assigned advisor's calendar.
Department of Communication majors can make an appointment with their assigned advisor by logging onto their Student Dashboard on my.fiu.edu. Non-SCJ majors can make an appointment by stopping by walk in appointment hours.
Students admitted to the university, but not the college, may take some Communication courses. However, prerequisites are enforced for all courses and there is no guarantee these Communication courses will remain part of the degree program. Students who are planning to pursue an Communication major are discouraged from taking third- and fourth-year courses until they consult with an advisor.
Department of Communication courses are offered at Biscayne Bay Campus, Modesto Maidique Campus, and online.
Course schedules can be found by logging onto your myFIU page. Classes are offered at various times of the day and evening. The Academic Calendar provides pertinent dates.
Yes, select courses are offered online.
FIU offers scholarships to all its students. These scholarships can be found on http://scholarship.fiu.edu. In addition to the FIU scholarships, the Department of Communication has scholarships specific to its students. Students are encouraged to visit the scholarship page for specific information.
Students in Advertising and Public Relations will earn Bachelor of Science in Communication after successfully completing all the major and FIU requirements. Students in Communications Arts will earn a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Arts after successfully completing all the major and FIU requirements.
Students interested in Advertising and Public Relations should declare a major as soon as you meet the current admission criteria. A delay in declaring your upper division status to the college could affect your graduation requirements and date. Students interested in Communication Arts can declare a major at any time.
A student who has been fully admitted to the Department of Communication and who wishes to change program track within the school must complete the Change of Program Plan form. This form must be submitted to an advisor. The student is subject to the program requirements in effect at the time of the change of major. Please consult with an advisor.
Students can pursue any one of the three majors offered by the school of the Department of Communication: Advertising, Public Relations, and Communication. However, they cannot pursue more than one major within the department.
Communication majors may choose to minor in a discipline outside their major. Please keep in mind the Excess Credit Surcharge. Students interested in such programs should refer to the FIU Undergraduate Catalog and consult a Department of Communication advisor.
An integral part of the bachelor's degree is a major concentration of coursework in an approved academic discipline or area. A minor program is an arrangement of courses that enable students to develop some degree of expertise in one area of study. A minor is awarded upon completion of the bachelor's degree (major) and is not interdisciplinary in nature.
Students may declare a minor by completing the change of program plan form available in Enrollment Services and meeting with an advisor if they wish to pursue a minor.
9. What is an orientation course and do I really need to take it?
Yes. MMC 3003 (Mass Communication Orientation) and COM 1004 are a 0-credit courses that is a full admission requirement for all the majors. Advertising and Public Relations must take MMC 3003 and Communication Arts must take COM 1004.
10. If I took communication courses at my previous institution, will they transfer?
Students can transfer a maximum of 6 credits toward their Communication track. Transfer courses must be approved by the department chairs. To evaluate a course, obtain a copy of the syllabus and fill out a Course Substitution Form, available on our website in the Resources & Forms page. Course substitution forms and syllabi should be dropped off for review with your advisor.
11. What is an internship and how do I get one?
The Department of Communication has dedicated internship coordinators who can assist students in obtaining information about internships. There are two types of internships: internship for academic credit, and paid internship. An internship for academic credit must be approved in advance and monitored by the internship coordinator. Students must also meet all the prerequisites in order to do the internship for academic credit. Internships are not mandatory but recommended as experience in the field gives you a better chance of getting a job after graduation.
12. What is the 65/ 72 rule?
13. What is an Upper Division Liberal Arts/Area of Concentration requirement, and how do I satisfy that requirement?
Depending on the major, students are required to complete 9 credit hours of Upper Division Liberal Arts (3000/4000 level) courses. Additionally, students are required to select a coherent series of four upper division (3000/4000 level) courses (12-credit semester hours) in a chosen area of focus outside the School of Communication in coordination with your advisor advisor.
2. What is the Department of Communication grade policy?
You must earn a final grade of at least a "C" to pass any of your major courses. A "P" (pass) grade is only acceptable for (0) credit courses.
3. What GPA must I keep to remain in good standing with the university and the Department of Communication?
The institutional GPA and Communication Arts GPA must remain at a 2.0 or higher for you to be considered in good academic standing. However, once a student has been fully admitted into the program he/she must maintain a 2.75 FIU GPA for Advertising and Public Relations courses. The grade point averages will be computed separately to maintain the 2.75 standard in both categories.
FIU requires a cumulative 2.0 GPA. However Advertising and Public Relations majors are required to have a 2.75 GPA requirement.
Students need to apply for graduation at http://my.fiu.edu. A student must complete a form that details the proper spelling of the name, address of record, and all majors and minors. This process should be completed when the student registers for the final semester. Students are encouraged to have a pre-graduation "check" done before applying for graduation.
A pre-graduation check is simply a meeting with your assigned advisor to review whether all requirements for graduation have been met. Students should schedule an appointment with an advisor some time during their final year at FIU. They should not wait for the final semester to begin this process. If there is a problem, students should give themselves ample time to correct it.
All Advertising and Public Relations majors will receive a Bachelor of Science in Mass Communication. All Communication Arts majors will receive a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Arts.
There are a variety of graduate programs offered at FIU. Students should consult the School of Communication Graduate School web site for details on the various programs and contact the appropriate offices.


Making the Cut - Mann, That's Easy!
Foggy June Gloom may have already arrived here in the Salinas Valley (hey, happy lettuce!), but it's not keeping us from planning epic Memorial Day get-togethers. And we have a new product line here at Mann's that is perfect for barbecues, family taco night, and more.
Single Cut™ lettuces from our friends at Fresh Leaf Farms (and our rockstar grower Mike Costa) just made your time in the kitchen a whole lot shorter. With four different lettuce varieties – Better Burger Leaf, Better Romaine, Better Green Leaf, and Better Red Leaf – each Single Cut tray contains the equivalent of one head. The best part? The leaves have already been cored, trimmed and washed – ready to go whenever you are.
For your Memorial Day soiree, Better Burger Leaf is a no-brainer. An ingenious cross between green leaf and iceberg, its leaves are round and flat with beautiful frilly edges – perfect for hamburger buns. It stands up to heat well, too, so don't worry about throwing straight-off-the-grill goodies right on top of them. It really IS a better burger leaf.
A quick and easy Caesar salad is an obvious choice for Better Romaine, but this Single Cut lettuce is also great for hoagie sandwiches, gluten free wraps, and lettuce cups. A favorite at my house: ground chicken sautéed with red bell pepper, water chestnuts and green onions, tossed with a stir fry sauce and spooned into Better Romaine. Delish.
Nothing says "sandwich" like the emerald frilliness of Better Green Leaf. That's part of the beauty of the Single Cut line – if you need just one or two leaves for your chicken salad on sourdough, BOOM! There they are. Tossed in salads, shredded for tacos, subbed for bread….the possibilities are endless.
Looking to add some color to your life? Shake things up a bit with Better Red Leaf. With a velvety texture and softer bite, Better Red Leaf's mild flavor pairs well with Asian dressings, fresh herbs, grilled fruit or even a dry, nutty shaved cheese. Not to mention its stunning burgundy color.
Memorial Day is the official kick off to salad season, so grab some Single Cut lettuces from Fresh Leaf Farms and go relax by the pool. 'Cause we've got you covered.
Where can I find Mann's within the center area of Houston instead of traveling out to the suburbs?
Sure will be glad when you get Mann's products back in our stores. Love the look of the Caesar Salad! Happy Memorial Day Weekend. Love the recipes!
Thanks Lisa! Hope you had a great holiday weekend.

50 Toronto Hidden Gems & Curiosities
Often it's the grand buildings and large public spaces that capture the public's imagination about a city. But the character of a city is more often reflected in the under-appreciated and overlooked elements that dot the urban landscape. Toronto has a fantastic collection of these elements: from fully intact bridges buried underground to a cemetery enclosed in a highway off-ramp; from mid-century houses that hide electrical transformers to Cold War-era air raid sirens still installed in parks. We solve lingering mysteries and uncover forgotten urban treasures that reveal the true charm of Toronto and its neighbourhoods.

Consumer Price Index (CPI) : A measure that examines the weighted average of prices of a basket of consumer goods and services, such as transportation, food and medical care. The CPI is calculated by taking price changes for each item in the predetermined basket of goods and averaging them; the goods are weighted according to their importance. Changes in CPI are used to assess price changes associated with the cost of living.
Sometimes referred to as "headline inflation".
While the CPI UNME series is published by the Central Statistical Organisation, the others are published by the Department of Labour.
In a move that could better reflect actual price increases borne by the general population, India will on 18 February introduce a national consumer price index (CPI) that is expected to eventually replace the Wholesale Price Index (WPI) as a benchmark for inflation.
Although the widely-used WPI showed the inflation in food articles at 13.55% for December, consumers may have been facing greater rate increases, indicates a recent letter finance minister Pranab Mukherjee wrote to state governments.
"While there are some weather-induced supply constraints on some of these items, which go against the seasonal decline normally seen at this time of the year, a large part of price rise is due to widening gap between the wholesale and retail prices and the growing demand for these products due to rising income levels," he wrote earlier this month.
The new index has the potential to become the single index of reference for inflation, saidD.K. Joshi, chief economist at ratings firm Crisil.
Central banks across the world rely mostly on CPI data to decide monetary policy, unlike RBI, which uses WPI as the key inflation index.
G.M. Boopathy, deputy director general at the Central Statistical Office (CSO), which is in charge of the task, said the first set of the new consumer indices, which also includes CPI urban and CPI rural, will be released on 18 February.
"We will also simultaneously release state and Union territory-level CPIs," he said.
The statistics and programme implementation ministry, which administers CSO, had promised the standing parliamentary committee on finance headed by Bharatiya Janata Party leader Murli Manohar Joshi in April that the indices will be released before 20 February.
The new indices will temporarily have calendar 2010 as the base year, which will be shifted to 2011-12 once the 68th round of consumer expenditure survey is completed, Boopathy said.
The National Sample Survey Organisation is collecting data for urban centres and the statistics ministry has roped in the postal department to collect price data from villages.
"Data is being collected from 1,183 villages and 310 towns across India for the all-India CPI," Boopathy said.
There is still some concern regarding the flow of data, which is being sorted out, said India's chief statistician T.C.A. Anant.
Boopathy said any new index will take time to stabilize.
India currently has three consumer price indices besides WPI that include gauges for industrial workers, agricultural labourers and rural labourers.
Work for a comprehensive CPI started in 2008 when the country saw an inflationary surge as measured by WPI. The finance ministry instructed the statistics ministry to hasten the process for releasing an all-India CPI as it was of the view that WPI-based inflation overstated the level of the price rise in the economy.
R. Radhakrishna, chairman, National Statistical Commission, the apex body on core statistics, said the body had earlier cleared the methodology for calculating the new CPI.
To be sure, it is unlikely that RBI will move in haste to adopt the new CPI as a benchmark.
In a 2009 report of a committee on financial sector assessment, chaired by then deputy governor Rakesh Mohan, the central bank had said switching over to CPI as the only inflation indicator is not an immediate imperative.
In an interview on 29 August, Anant had argued against using CPI for monetary policy purposes.
Former RBI governor and chairman of the Prime Minister's economic advisory council C. Rangarajan said the new index will give a better picture of consumer price movement across the country. "We need to test the new index for some time before using it for (monetary) policy purposes," he added. Rangarajan was the first chairman of NSC, which had recommended establishing an all-India CPI.
National Institute of Public Finance and Policy professor N.R. Bhanumurthy said the new CPI will add value to the process of monetary policymaking. "It might also reduce the huge divergence between WPI and CPI inflation, which is common now," he said.
Wholesale Price Index (WPI) : WPI first published in 1902, and was one of the more economic indicators available to policy makers until it was replaced by most developed countries by the Consumer Price Index in the 1970s. WPI is the index that is used to measure the change in the average price level of goods traded in wholesale market. In India, a total of 676 commodities data on price level is tracked through WPI which is an indicator of movement in prices of commodities in all trade and transactions. It is also the price index which is available on a weekly basis with the shortest possible time lag only two weeks.


The National Energy Efficiency Registry (NEER) is a web-based platform that will help states document energy efficiency achievements to help meet their energy and environmental goals. Serving as a means to register and track energy savings and, as desired, enabling trading of instruments representing energy savings (and related environmental attributes), the NEER can support both voluntary energy efficiency initiatives and compliance with mandatory energy savings goals.
Members of the NEER Project Team held a webinar on Thursday, November 9, 2017 to discuss major findings from the project, including NEER's principles and operating rules, roadmaps for implementation, and State Energy Offices' perspectives on applying and using NEER to support key energy efficiency markets.

The three-minute chat that wiped billions off stocks
Sharemarket
By Tim Culpan
November 13, 2018 — 5.16pm
A three-minute conversation on stage at UBS's Global Technology Conference in San Francisco helped wipe more than $US190 billion ($264 billion) from global stocks.
Lumentum makes lasers for 3D facial recognition used by major smartphone makers, with Apple its key client. On Monday, the company announced a 17 per cent cut in its December-quarter revenue outlook. That triggered a plunge in shares of Apple and its suppliers, and reverberated through stock markets in the US and Asia.

Taking questions from a UBS representative, this is what Lumentum CEO Alan Lowe and interim CFO Chris Coldren said later in the day.
Q: You took down numbers for the December quarter by $US70 million, which implies 20 million phone units. Can you talk a little bit about what drove that?
A: We had given guidance in our earnings call a couple of weeks ago, and we were confident in [the] numbers that we gave per guidance at that point in time based on orders. And in fact at the time we had been expedited to ship more sooner, whereas a few days ago we got some notification from a lead customer that they needed less parts. And so we wanted to get that news out as soon as we possibly could, and being here at the conference was sort of the catalyst to get it out this morning.
Q: Are we sure this is not a change in competitive situation, no change in ASPs, this is really driven by end demand?
A: I don't know what the end demand is, they don't tell us that. But I believe we have maintained our share, and I am not concerned about share shift. This is not a relationship that we have with them that they would do something like that. I believe that our partnership we have with our lead customer, and in fact for all of our customers, is one of a lot of trust and I do trust them. So I don't think there's been a share shift.
Q: Is there a way to parse that 70 million down-tick between there being inventory in the supply chain versus maybe a down-tick in end demand?
A: I think the two are sort of related, obviously, that if there was a down-tick in end demand then if we were all operating off of higher production rates, that would be creating additional inventory. So, again, and Alan highlighted, our customer doesn't share with us their situation and their plans. But certainly it feels like either inventory in the channel, or due to overproduction in the early time frame of this product cycle or slightly softer than expected end-market demand. But, you'd better ask them.
I reproduced the full conversation so you can get a sense of the importance of this conversation, and the nuance from both the interviewer and the executives.
The follow-up questions are the key.
In its press release earlier that day, Lumentum mentioned a recent client request to cut shipments. But as the question hints, and the answer shows, this wasn't some competitive dynamic working against the company. The client, Apple, cut its own outlook. And Coldren goes on to note that you can't really split the issue of excess inventory and weaker demand. They're related. This is something I warned about back in August, and something that the market is once again learning to deal with.
As a relatively new vendor to Apple, it's possible that Lumentum hasn't learned to play the supplier game.
Around the middle of every year you'll see a string of press reports claiming that Apple has expectations for how many iPhones it'll sell that year. The source of that news is invariably suppliers. Neither the manufacturer nor Apple itself knows how many devices customers will actually buy.
What Apple is really telling its vendors is how many units they should be prepared to make. From over a decade covering the sector, I've learned that this client tends to ask for a lot more than may be needed. Experienced suppliers know how to adjust to Apple's early optimism.
With sales concentrated so early on in the product cycle, any bottlenecks in supply have the potential to hurt iPhone sales. As i-Day approaches, Apple may sometimes rush suppliers in order to get more devices on the shelves so they can soak up any early demand.
But as Lumentum just discovered, that excitement can disappear quickly. And with it go hopes that the tech bull market can resume.

Award-winning SA film explores the complexities of marine poaching
Sons of the Sea explores the complexities of poaching, which is often not simply a choice between legality and criminality, but between starving or not
By Marieke Norton - 26 December 2021
Gabriel, played by Roberto Kyle, and Mikhail, played by Marlon Swarts, find two bags of abalone on the beach. Picture: SUPPLIED
What does salvation look like? When a person lacks options, this may not be a straightforward judgment to make. Is salvation an unearned windfall, or doing what's legal?
The award-winning South African film Sons of the Sea pivots on questions like these. It explores the moral universe of forced choices through the narrative of Mikhail and Gabriel, two brothers from Kalk Bay, a fishing village near Cape Town. Mikhail is the older brother and a small-time abalone poacher. Gabriel is set up as his opposite: he completed school, plans to study further, has a good job at a local hotel and is in a relationship with a responsible young woman. Mikhail lives life according to somewhat looser morals — associated here with active criminality.
When a foreigner dies in the hotel where he works, Gabriel finds a stash of dried and packaged abalone, an amount that represents a fortune if it can be sold successfully. The brothers steal the valuable marine snails, setting off the well-known crime movie spiral into uncontrolled events.
As a counterbalance to the brothers, we encounter Peterson, an official with the local government department that deals with marine resource extraction. We are given clues about Peterson to indicate a man in a desperate situation — a widower with a young son and problematic mother-in-law, financial troubles and an inherited ethos of living off the land. Without giving away the story, suffice it to say that the lucre of the abalone lures all three to a dramatic resolution.
Abalone, or perlemoen (Haliotis midae), is a shellfish that was once abundant along SA's Western Cape coast. Illegal extraction rose steeply in the 1990s, for a number of reasons. It is highly sought after as a delicacy and status symbol. This made it valuable to the established black marketeers who saw the newly democratised SA as an expansion opportunity.
A number of coastal communities were left disappointed by the fishing rights processes that they had been relying on to reverse a century and more of colonial and apartheid exclusion from the formal fishing sector. When it became clear to these communities that they would not gain access to fishing resources, many took to "protest fishing". This opened the gap for more intentionally criminal elements.
While it has its roots in the idea that the sea belongs to the people of the Cape, the reality is that poaching is devastating these communities and the ecology on which they wish to base their livelihoods.
The complex poaching world
Sons of the Sea is beautifully filmed, with close-ups and lingering shots of the Atlantic, the Great African Seaforest and the fynbos-covered hills at the southern tip of Africa. The land and sea help determine what actions the characters take. Switching between them echoes the idea of salvation as ambiguous, preventing clear distinctions between who is good and who is bad.
When I talk to people about my research into marine resource law enforcement in the Western Cape, I often encounter two perspectives: a conviction that all illegal fishers are criminal poacher-gangsters; or that poaching is a noble response to the enduring legacy of colonial and apartheid exclusions of people of colour from the ocean space and resources. The reality is usually far less clear cut.
What I argue — in line with other work on different kinds of illegal resource extraction — is that the decision to poach is not a decision, but a destination on a journey that is often fraught with loss and exclusion. Many divers have died in rough seas or when trying to evade law enforcement. Unless you are the kingpin or the merchant, poaching is a dangerous choice which could see you dead, in jail or embroiled in gangsterism.
My research has repeatedly shown me that SA's coastal communities are under-resourced to the point of precarity. The intergenerational cycle of poverty leaves one with few choices. The dithering by the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and Environment on implementing policy for small fisheries means that poaching is often the only option. It is not simply a choice between legality and criminality, it is often between starving or not.
To stop poaching, communities must be nurtured — in some cases regenerated — to provide young men like Mikhail with options. In the film, he is not simply criminal — he is trapped by the legacy of exclusion that reserves the sea for others. As a young man of colour, who did not finish school, he is in a bracket that currently suffers from 40.2% unemployment. He has no hope of getting a legal fishing licence, or a regular job with prospects. So why would he turn away from the one thing that provides without taking?
We see this complexity of intention and motivation not only in the two brothers, but also in the character of Peterson. Woven throughout the backstories of these characters is loss of loved ones, lack of resources and the desperation to get out of the economic hardships that prevent their futures from being realised.
Choices and motivations
Sons of the Sea presents the shifting landscape that compels the characters to revisit their choices and motivations as events unfold. What is the right choice changes, and is never the same for two characters at once. Throughout the first part of the film, we see Gabriel practising a speech under his breath, checking his notes as he prepares for this future in which he is centre stage, being listened to. He drops it, and Peterson finds it at the scene of the crime. As he reads it, so do we as the audience:
All world processes are made up of two forces.
It is clearly intended as the central idea of the film. This is vital, as the fight against poaching is a misnomer. The only constructive, long-term counter to illegal fishing and the abalone black market is a world in which young people are not preoccupied with salvation, with saving themselves, but one in which they do not need saving.

Q: Identify local PC with JQuery Im trying to identify a PC to check on the amount of login attempts.
At the moment im using code to identify the IP address of the PC.
It works well, but if you are using a dynamic IP of you encounter a bot that changes its IP every second or two, it wont work.
Here is the current code

<script type="application/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $.getJSON("http://www.telize.com/jsonip?callback=?",
            function(json) {
                myIP = json.ip;
            }
        );
    });
</script>

Is there some other unique address or code that I can grab? (like MAC address, but I know that is not allowed.)

A: No device or browser can return a unique Id. It would be a means of security breach. None the less it is a great question and many apps create a uuid that is stored on the device so that it can be identified, if at least on their server.
This is how you do it
http://jsfiddle.net/dq5oy6w2/1/
var uuid=function(){
var u = 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'.replace(/[xy]/g,
function(c) {
var r = Math.random() * 16 | 0,
v = c == 'x' ? r : (r & 0x3 | 0x8);
return v.toString(16);
});
return u;
}

var getDeviceId = function(){
var current = window.localStorage.getItem("_DEVICEID_")
if (current) return current;
var id = uuid();
window.localStorage.setItem("_DEVICEID_",id);
return id;
}

document.getElementById("deviceid").innerHTML=getDeviceId();

Here i use localStorage, it's fast reliable but the user can clear it on most devices. If you want something more robust, consider indexedDB or WebSql -both are harder in some respects to clear.
Since you have the ip on the server you could pass this id in your server call, and have the IP as a fallback, if you store this uuid with the IP, on your server: you could have a means of replenishing the client, if it looses the uuid. But that may restrict multiple devices on one IP.


Harry out after having surgery on missing tooth.
Defenders Harry Davis and Perry Ng will not feature in Crewe Alexandra's opening two pre-season friendlies against Congleton Town this evening and Alsager tomorrow.
Davis has undergone dental surgery on the front tooth he had knocked out against Gillingham back in January.
Liverpool-born NG has been struggling with a slight case of tendonitis of the knee. The versatile centre-half who can also play at full-back has not been able to train and will miss the opening two friendly games as a precaution.
The Alex boss will name a number of trialists in his squad as they try and impress to earn themselves a permanent deal. The trailists will include the former Colchester United midfielder David Fox.

Post-apocalyptic is in vogue right now. The latest series to jump aboard the train is Far Cry with New Dawn, a sequel/spin-off of sorts to last year's somewhat disappointing Far Cry 5.
I didn't play all that much Far Cry 5, but I can sort of guess what happened based off what happened in this game. You play as ``The Captain of Security'', a nicely generic and vague person that enables you to create whoever you like. You're aboard a train and, as with all Far Cry games, it quickly goes pear-shaped and you're left legging it for your life.
A gang of fluoro-coloured bikers has taken over Hope County, led by The Twins, two women with more studs and tattoos than I've had hot dinners. The story is pretty generic and predictable, but that's what this series is known for.
The first thing that will strike you about this game is just how pretty it is. If you're playing on the right equipment, this game looks immense. On the PS4, besides some obvious pop, it's a feast for the eyes. The fluoro pinks and purples look terrific.
The bread and butter of a Far Cry game is exploring the world, fighting enemies, surviving in the wild and conquering all that there is to be conquered. Nothing different here as you'll be taking outposts and shooting bears from the start. Something a little different is that there are RPG elements sprinkled throughout - outposts can be scavenged/escalated, so you can redo them and gain extra rewards. Enemies are levelled, so early on the bikers won't put up much of a fight, but later on they'll be firing missiles at you.
What this does is add a degree of replayability to what was becoming a somewhat stale formula.
The characters are over the top, as always, and much like previous games, I found most of them tiring. Your guns for hire are nut cases for the most part, although a special shout out to the dog and Horatio, the boar. At least they can't talk.
Ubisoft seems to have been caught in two minds with this game. It's set not long after the end of Far Cry 5 which, I can only assume, ends in a nuclear explosion. It seems farcical that there's almost no damage or fallout from it - all that seems to have happened is everything has turned purple and pink.
It's no comparison to the Fallout series, which I think paints a more dire and realistic picture of what might happen.
All up though, New Dawn is a blast to play. The Expeditions mode where you travel outside the map to genuinely cool locations is a nice addition, although perhaps a little underdeveloped and, ultimately, under utilised.
The game plays well and looks great - highly recommended for those looking for a bit of mindless fun.
Well, ah, I guess I have to.
What a performance. Did you see those punks with Studs Terkel?

VALDISERE - Wonderful 10 bedroom chalet with breathtaking views.
The original village of Tignes, which lies in the Savoyard Alps in eastern France, was laid to rest under the waters of the Lac du Chevril, the reservoir created in 1952. Tignes is now a name given to five villages rather than just one. There are four modern, purpose built villages, and these are known as Val Claret, Tignes le Lac, Le Lavachet, and Tignes les Boisses. The fifth and final village is the only surviving old village, and is called Tignes les Brévières.
The resorts were built in the style of the sixties, and hence began to look a little dated in recent times. However, a programme of modernisation has been very effective, and the resorts are now quite attractive as well as brilliantly equipped for snow sports enthusiasts. Some attempts have been made to preserve the lost heritage of old Tignes too, and at the village of les Boisses you can find a replica of the old church of the drowned village.
The ski slopes of Tignes are recognised the world over as having the top record for snow in France. Lying at a high altitude (2,100m) and having the advantage of the glacier Grand Motte, Tignes is usually the first to open and last to close each year, and offers exceptional piste and off piste conditions for all levels of skiers.
Tignes has something for all snow sports enthusiasts, with snow parks, freestyle ski and snowboard clubs, glacial skiing, beginners through to advanced tuition, Olympic downhill slopes for the brave, ski joring (being pulled along on skis by horses!) for those who want a new thrill, dog sledding and snow shoeing. You think of it, Tignes can supply it. Needless to say there are excellent facilities for getting around the slopes too, with an extensive network of chair lifts, gondolas and cable cars.
Even the keenest of skiers and snowboarders spend some time away from the slopes, so it's good to know that Tignes has plenty of non snow related activities available. There's a new Aqua Centre, situated on the side of the lake, a cinema showing English films in the village of Val Claret, and all the resorts offer a variety of shops and other leisure facilities to keep every member of the family entertained. For those seeking a little culture there are plenty of museums where you can investigate the history and traditions of the region, and for the active there are a hundred and one sporting activities including such daredevil antics as parapenting and exciting helicopter trips.
As a well developed and popular resort, Tignes has no lack of aprés ski facilities, and there is a great range of bars and restaurants to enjoy. You can find a quiet little bistro serving excellent food (try Le Clin d'Oeil) or live it up in the liveliest of "nite spots" (take a late night look at Crowded House in Val Claret)... the choice is yours. There's no shortage of choice of cuisine either with Moroccan, Tex Mex and Italian cuisines jostling for custom alongside traditional French and Savoyard fare.
The airport at Chambéry itself is served by flybe and Jet2, who operate flights from the UK. If you need a wider choice of airline or departure point than is offered by Chambéry, consider also Lyon, St Étienne, Geneva and Grenoble. Rail travel is another very good option, as there is not only a station in Chambéry, but also at Bourg St Maurice and Moûtiers. In fact you can travel all the way to Bourg St Maurice or Moûtiers on Eurostar from the UK. This is the ski special, and available only in winter. If you are driving, take the A41 auto route.
Property in Tignes is generally expensive, although you can tailor this to suit your pocket to a certain extent by the type, size and location of the property you choose. Accept, though, that Tignes isn't really the ideal location if you are property seeking on a tight budget. The good news is that there will almost always be a good rental market for your property in Tignes, as the season is long and the resort very popular.
Do you know Tignes better than we do? Do you have photos of Tignes?
Tignes is situated in eastern France, in the east of the Savoie department, in the Alps. It is lies quite close to the Italian border.
Access: By air: Fly to Chambéry, Geneva, Grenoble, Lyon or St Étienne. By rail: There is a SNCF station in Bourg St Maurice and a station at Moûtiers and Chambéry. By road: Take the A41 to Chambéry.
Economy: Ski and mountain tourism forms the mainstay of the economy.
Interesting fact: The old village becomes visible every ten years when the reservoir is drained.

Collaboration key to next wave of fintech
As the fintech ecosystem has evolved, it's become increasingly clear that the best path forward for the industry lies in collaboration among all stakeholders
by Zach Perret March 01, 2019 3 min read
Over the past several years, there's been a staggering amount of innovation in financial services. Now, we're starting to see the fintech ecosystem begin to take shape, bringing together startups, established financial institutions, technology platforms, policymakers, and regulators. It's this spirit of collaboration that will accelerate progress even further.
While financial technology startups tend to get a lot of attention, fintech isn't just about them—it's about the ecosystem as a whole. We can't forget that established financial institutions continue to act as the main financial hub for many people and businesses. Which means that it's the banks that are really providing the bedrock upon which all this innovation sits.
Today, it's easier than ever for new entrants to build upon that foundation—in large part, we think, thanks to the improved data layer we're building here at Plaid. Stronger data infrastructure, which makes the interaction between the application layer and the processor layer, has meaningfully lowered the barriers to entry to financial services.
These dynamics—and rapid changes—have naturally led to questions about the best path forward. As the ecosystem has evolved, it's become clear that the answer lies in collaboration among all stakeholders. That collaboration is already underway.
The White House FinTech Summit, which we participated in on June 10, demonstrated the government's commitment to developing stronger partnerships with innovators to provide consumers with better choices (and drive certain economic objectives).
As Adrienne Harris, special assistant to the president for economic policy, wrote in a blog post after the summit: "Technology isn't just changing the financial services industry, it's changing the way consumers and business owners relate to their finances, and the way institutions function in our financial system."
This adaptability in the way institutions function and collaborate means that innovation actually has the potential to improve the financial lives of millions.
There's still a lot of work to do: While we were excited to represent Plaid (and, perhaps by extension, the thousands of developers on our platform) at the summit, there were no engineers or people focused on security in attendance. Making these forums more inclusive will go a long way to making the industry as a whole more inclusive. To Harris's point, technology is transforming financial services—so including the perspective of developers and technical experts is essential.
More concretely, the work we've been doing as a member of Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City's Secure Payments Task Force is focused on finding ways to safely implement faster payments in the United States, as it outlined in a January 2015 paper. Our experience tokenizing ACH end-to-end for the first time, through our partnership with processor Stripe, is also especially relevant to our role on a NACHA working group focused on improving ACH payments. Speeding up payments in a way that limits fraud and is secure is a huge focus of ours at Plaid, given our role as a gatekeeper in the ecosystem. And we know we can't effectively go it alone, either.
So while the narrative of years past has focused on purported tension between banks and fintech startups, that's faded. Banks aren't being disintermediated (though, it's true, in some cases, they're competing harder on certain non-core services). Instead, they're being transformed into platforms, into which consumers plug all sorts of additional services they want and need. Plaid brokers those kinds of connections, making it easy for consumers to permission new services regardless of where they bank.
Financial institutions and newer fintech companies actually have more in common than not. We all want to improve financial futures for consumers and businesses, and to back those innovations with the best security possible. It's clearer than ever that these goals are best achieved through partnership—which is why it's great to see all these opportunities for collaboration cropping up.

What is Emerald Cove about?
Emerald Cove was a soap opera of sorts featured on The All New Mickey Mouse Club (aka MMC). Starting during the 5th season of MMC, each episode was split into 3 segments and would be aired throughout the season. As the popularity of Emerald Cove rose, it became a regular fixture on The Mickey Mouse Club. During the 7th season, each episode of Emerald Cove was split into 4 segments and one segment was aired during each and every episode.

 Emerald Cove featured many members of the MMC cast, but also featured many actors that did not appear on the show.


The new Post Commander is Robert "Bill" Jones. The new Auxiliary President is Bonnie Turner.
you know a Veteran or Veterans family in need of assistance they can call 2-1-1 or text 211 ok to 898-211, for help with utilities, rent payments, food, etc. This is 24/7 and statewide for assistance. Also, check out unmet needs on the VFW website.
With about $1 billion estimated to remain un-obligated, the VFW is pleased the money will continue to help wounded, ill and injured veterans receive the quality care they earned and deserve. The legislation passed this week also addresses two issues that the VFW had identified and had asked Congress to fix. The first issue is to eliminate the confusing secondary payer requirement, clarifying that VA is the payer of care, not veterans. The second issue the legislation addresses will make it easier for VA to share medical documentation with Choice providers, so veterans don't have to face unnecessary delays when scheduling Choice Program appointments.


The election of Donald Trump as president of the United States of America has elicited thousands of lines of newsprint as academics, journalists and the wider public seek to make sense of its implications. It has occasioned no less speculation in Russia, much of it shot through with a strong sense of Russia's unexpected good luck. A year ago Russia, already isolated over Ukraine, was the target of intense Western condemnation as a result of its intervention on the side of the government of Bashar al-Assad in Syria. Today, things look very different.
Though Trump has yet to fix a date for a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Russian press has been alive with discussions about how to make the most of the most Russia-friendly incoming administration in American history.
One school of thought has gathered around the geopolitical theories of the late Vadim Tsymburskii, a philologist-turned-geostrategist whose writings were re-published by the ISEPI, a leading Kremlin-funded think tank, last December.
Tsymburskii, who died in 2009, was among the Western-leaning intellectuals recruited by Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to help reform the USSR. However, by the early 1990s he had become disillusioned with the West's gospel of social and economic liberalism, rejecting his previous enthusiasm for Russia's integration into the US-dominated North Atlantic system.
For Tsymburskii, Russia's post-Soviet geopolitics were defined by the voluntary surrender of the Soviet Union's Western ramparts: the Baltic states, Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova. Acquired between 1650 and 1825, this land bridge to Europe had made both the Russian Empire and its Soviet successor a European great power.
Soviet collapse, however, saw Russia's borders largely return to those of the Orthodox civilisation of pre-Petrine Muscovy. Its roots lay not in the humanism of classical antiquity that Western Europeans had retrieved through the Renaissance but in the quite distinct synthesis of Hellenism and Eastern Christianity embodied in Byzantium.
Paradoxically, then, at just the moment when incorporation into an American-led 'New World Order' threatened Russia's native concept of sovereignty, imperial retrenchment offered the post-Soviet Russian Federation the opportunity of once again becoming a civilization in its own right, allied in a special way to the historical culture of Europe, but not naturally part of the 'West'.
Tsymburskii was sceptical of Putin's early foreign policy, which he considered excessively materialist in its fundamental preoccupations and unduly concerned with proving Russia's usefulness to Washington.
Today, however, his geopolitical outlook resonates with the 'conservative turn' that accompanied Putin's return to the presidency in 2012: the conscious recourse to patriotism and the defence of traditional religious values, often through a prominent alliance with the Russian Orthodox Church. This has since intensified with swelling national pride following the so-called 'reunification' (annexation) of Crimea.
Yet Tsymburskii also reasoned that to the extent that Russia's experience of Westernisation had historically been inseparable from imperial expansion, so a foreign policy for a Russian Federation conceived of as a non-Western civilisation must rest on an express rejection of empire in favour of isolation — of becoming an 'island', as he put it in a famous 1993 essay.
According to this logic, Crimea's strategic significance, combined with the population's clear civilizational preference for Russia, forced Moscow's hand when it appeared that the peninsula might be incorporated into the twinned NATO and EU structures of the Euro-Atlantic world.
Yet Russia's return to an imperial mode on the model of either the Tsarist Empire or the Soviet Union would ultimately entail the subjugation of populations of mixed (as in Ukraine) if not decidedly hostile (as in the Baltics) civilizational loyalties that would impede Russia's consolidation of its own non-Western identity. So the borderlands between Russia and the Euro-Atlantic civilisation of the West should instead be a neutral space, an interstitial zone whose peoples and nations are free to borrow elements from both of its neighbouring civilisations.
Such 'civilisational realism', Mezhuev argues, should form the basis of a 'grand bargain' with Washington.
This satisfies both the Westphalian principle of the integrity of sovereign borders and the Wilsonian notion of the right to national self-determination. It also takes seriously the premise of Huntington's 'clash of civilisations': that having emerged in the very particular historical and cultural circumstances of the West, liberalism is mistaken as a universal creed and its colonisation of the cultural space of other civilisations inevitably provokes a backlash.
As Mezhuev seems to describe it, a Tsymburskian vision of twenty-first century European geopolitics would not in practice demand the dissolution of NATO but the return of the disposition of its forces in Eastern Europe to the status quo ante the crisis of 2014. At its heart, however, would lie an agreement that the Western bloc give up incorporating Ukraine, Moldova and, in the Balkans, Serbia, would instead remain neutral. Crimea and Belarus, it is understood, would by contrast belong culturally and strategically an indisputable part of the wider Russian world.
As far as the opportunities offered by a Trump presidency are concerned, however, Mezhuev sees the ball as lying largely in Russia's court. Before a grand bargain can be struck, he says, Russia must decide whether it is 'a fallen empire longing for revenge', lying in wait 'for the right moment to throw itself on its neighbours like a leopard on its prey' or a 'geopolitical porcupine', an image he borrows from Tsymburskii: 'uncomfortable, difficult, but still not a beast of prey'.
To the extent that the Kremlin can answer this question with a coherent view of its interests, 2017 will pose more sharply than at any time since the fall of the Berlin Wall the question of what Russia wants from the United States and the world system more broadly.

Tehran, Yerevan reach new gas deal
TEHRAN, Jul. 26 (MNA) – Iran's oil minister has announced that on the basis of a new agreement between Tehran and Yerevan, Iranian gas will be transferred to Georgia through Armenia.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a meeting with the visiting Armenian Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources Levon Yolyan, Iran's Bijan Zanganeh said transit of Iranian gas via Armenia marked the main axis of the session.
"Following Iran's appeal for gas transit to Georgia, the Armenian side suggested formation of a new organization which we confirmed," stated Zanganeh adding "the new organization will replace Yerevan Thermal Power Plant as the current buyers of Iran's gas in the Caucasus region country."
The official went on to highlight that new contracts for direct sales of gas to Armenia as well as for gas transit to Georgia will be carried out by the new organization.
"Yerevan Thermal Power Plant does not possess necessary permits for gas transit," stressed Zanganeh outlining the possibility for transferring gas to other countries via Armenia as one advantage of establishing a new firm.
He reported on the signing of a small deal with a Georgian buyer for gas sales estimating that the agreement will become operational in the current year.
Iran's minister of oil, while pointing to the recent request posed by Armenia for increased purchase of gas from Iran due to a problem with the gas pipeline from Russia, said "at the order of Iran's First Vice-President Es'haq Jahangiri as well as the Armenian Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan, gas delivery to the neighboring country was risen from 1 to 3.5 million cubic meters."
"The Russian pipeline will be brought back to operation in 40 days and Iran's increased gas sales to the neighboring country was on the basis of a contract," the official continued.
Bijan Zanganeh said Iran pursues the policy of strengthening energy ties with neighbors, especially in the areas of gas exports; "while not being a large consumer, Armenia marks an important route for exports of Iranian gas."
Armenia has also made a proposal to increase gas purchase from Iran which pertains to late 2018 when the export volume will increase from the current 1 to 3 million cubic meters per day, said Zanganeh.
Iranian oil minister further reiterated "in exchange for each cubic meter of gas, Iran received three kilowatt hours of electricity from Armenia at the border while the figure has now climbed to 3.2 kWh."

This post helps to do settings in Opera Mini browser so that users will be able to see Marathi websites on their phones. By default settings of Opera Mini, it is no possible to view Marathi websites (and any website that displays letters in any regional language). So if you want to view Marathi websites on your phone, then you are at right place!
Now a days we all are using internet from our mobiles. Most of us use Opera Mini to browse internet and almost all the handsets have support to this well known mobile browser.
But the main problem is that you can not view Devnagari font with the default settings of Opera Mini. There is a setting that has to be done if one wants to access Marathi or any website in regional language.
In this post I will guide you step-by-step to do that setting so that you can enjoy browsing Marathi websites like www.maharashtratimes.com. www.eSakal.com etc.
1. Launch Opera Mini browser from the phone.
3. It would open configuration page, scroll down and search for 'Use bitmap fonts for complex scripts'.
4. Select 'Yes' for this 'Use bitmap fonts for complex scripts' (by default it is 'No').
That's all! Now type any website that uses devnagari script, and it's there on you screen.... Happy browsing!
Let me know if you have any issues in doing these setting. I would be happy to help you.

DNA model introduction
Revision as of 19:25, 17 July 2015 by Sulc (talk | contribs)
The model treats DNA as a string of rigid nucleotides, which interact through potentials which depend on the position and orientation of the nucleotides. The interactions are:
Sugar-phosphate backbone connectivity,
Excluded volume,
Hydrogen bonding,
Nearest-neighbour stacking,
Cross-stacking between base-pair steps in a duplex,
Coaxial stacking.
This interactions are illustrated below. Orientational modulations of the stacking potential encourage the bases to form coplanar stacks, the twist arising from the different length scales of the backbone separation and the optimum stacking separation. The possibility of unstacking allows single strands to be very flexible. Hydrogen bonding can occur between complementary bases when they are anti-aligned, leading to the formation of double helical structures.
(a) Model interaction sites with their interaction ranges (the typical range of an interaction is twice the radius of the sphere shown).
(b) Representation of these interaction site in a visualisation that makes the planarity of the base clear.
(c) A duplex in this representation.
Indication of the interactions which hold together a typical duplex. V(b.b.) indicates the phosphate-sugar backbone connectivity.
In the original model, all complementary base pairs and stacking partners interact with the same strength (there is no attractive interaction between non-complementary bases). A sequence-dependent parameterisation of the hydrogen-bonding and stacking interactions is included as an option in the code release. The melting temperatures of a set of short DNA oligomers in the sequence-dependent coarse-grained model, compared to the melting temperatures as predicted by SantaLucia's nearest-neighbor model ([1]), are available here: [2]
The original model incorporates electrostatics only through the short-ranged excluded volume. For this reason, it is only appropriate for the study of systems at high salt concentration, when electrostatic interactions are strongly screened. It also does not incorporate the differentiation between the major and minor grooves of DNA double helices.
oxDNA2
A new version of the oxDNA model, called oxDNA2, has recently been released ([3]). It introduces different widths for the major and minor DNA double helical grooves (an example double helix is shown below), a new electrostatic interaction which allows DNA to be studied at salt concentrations of 0.1M and above, improved large-scale structure prediction, and differentiation between AA and TT stacking strengths.
The oxDNA2 model is included in the latest release of the oxDNA code. It can be used in a very similar way to the original oxDNA model. Only a couple of lines in the input file must be added. Firstly, the following line must be included:
interaction_type = DNA2
In addition, the salt concentration for the simulation must be specified. For example, to run a simulation with a salt concentration of 0.5M, one should write:
salt_concentration = 0.5
Everything else should work in the same way as it does for the original oxDNA model.
Simulation units
The code uses units for energy, mass, length and time that are convenient for a typical system. The relationship between simulation units (SU) and SI units is given below.
Simulation unit
Physical unit
1 unit of length 8.518x10 − 10 {\displaystyle ^{-10}} m
1 unit of energy 4.142x10 − 20 {\displaystyle ^{-20}} J
1 unit of temperature 3000 K
1 unit of force 4.863x10 − 11 {\displaystyle ^{-11}} N
1 unit of mass 5.24x10 − 25 {\displaystyle ^{-25}} kg
1 unit of time 3.03x10 − 12 {\displaystyle ^{-12}} s

The psychological component of a multidisciplinary approach to managing chronic pain has demonstrated remarkable results. Patients report increased functioning and energy levels than with pain medications alone. Although the elimination of pain is not the goal, since pain serves as an important message to the brain, relief is possible with cognitive therapy and with hypnotherapy to increase relaxation.
Many of our clients who have become addicted to pain medications have been able to significantly reduce while maximizing the benefits of their prescribed pain medication. Our systematic treatment protocol frames pain as a stress-related disorder and helps clients restructure their cognitions and provides coping skills to manage pain.
About 60 percent of men in our country have faced at least one major traumatic event in their lives while 50 percent of women have faced a major traumatic event. Major traumatic events, called big Ts include: witnessing a murder or other physical assault, victim of a sexual or physical assault, combat, a serious accident, a natural disaster, or a terrorist attack. Of that 60 percent of men, 8% develop PTSD and of the 50% of women, who have experienced trauma, 20% develop PTSD.
Very often, the victim of a traumatic event turns to alcohol or other drugs to numb the pain of traumatic memories.
Help is available. At Harbor House, Inc., we first provide a comprehensive assessment to identify the presence of PTSD. We then offer effective, evidence-based treatment such as cognitive processing therapy to help you understand how your thoughts about the trauma help keep you stuck, and how to change those thoughts and feelings. We also use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help process the traumatic event.

He represented Uttar Pradesh in Under-16, Under-19, and Under-23 levels, as well as Central Zone at Under-19. He made his List A cricket debut for Uttar Pradesh at the age of 16 in March 2014, scoring 83 runs. On November 5, 2016, he made his first-class debut for Uttar Pradesh in the 2016-17 Ranji Trophy.
With 803 runs in nine matches, he was Uttar Pradesh's best run-scorer in the 2018-19 Ranji Trophy group stage. In 10 matches, he ended the competition with 953 runs.
He was signed by the Kings XI Punjab club for the 2017 Indian Premier League in February 2017. In the 2018 IPL auction, he was purchased for Rs. 80 lakh by the Kolkata Knight Riders in January 2018. Rinku was forced to withdraw from the 2021 Indian Premier League due to a knee injury, and was replaced by Gurkeerat Singh Mann.
In the auction for the 2022 Indian Premier League, he was purchased by the Kolkata Knight Riders in February 2022. He won his maiden Man of the Match award in this year's competition, receiving a prize for one lakh for 42 runs in 23 balls with a strike rate of 182.61 against Rajasthan Royals.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) suspended Singh for three months on May 30, 2019, after he participated in the Ramadan T20 Tournament in Abu Dhabi without first requesting permission to compete.The Ramadan T20 Tournament was organised by Abu Dhabi Cricket, and Rinku guided his team Deccan Gladiators to victory by blasting a 58-ball 104 and then scooping up two wickets against New Medical Centre.
Rinku, a 21-year-old middle-order batsman and part-time offspinner, was named to India A's team for the upcoming four-day series against Sri Lanka, however the BCCI announced that he has been pulled for the second and final game, which begins on May 31 at Hubli. He was not named to the starting lineup in the first game, which the Indians won by an innings and 205 runs.
He never shares photographs with his female friends on his social media handles. Fans have now assumed that he is single and is currently not dating anyone. He has never shared anything about his marital status. Rinku completely focuses on his performance and strength. We will soon update you with his relationship status.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The Monuments Men may not be monumental, but it sure is quietly but richly entertaining.
Co-written, produced, and directed by George Clooney, who also leads the ensemble cast, it tells the fictionalized true story of the US government's efforts to recapture precious artwork stolen by the Nazis toward the end of World War II.
Multi-hyphenate Clooney, directing for a fifth time (The Ides of March; Good Night, and Good Luck; Leathernecks; Confessions of a Dangerous Mind), has an impressive array of actors filling out the roles, including Matt Damon as an art restorer, Bill Murray as a Chicago architect, John Goodman as a sculptor, Jean Dujardin as a French painting instructor, Hugh Bonneville as a British museum head, and Bob Balaban as a theatre impresario, all at his command.
And in a prominent subplot, Cate Blanchett plays a Parisian "collaborator" and assistant museum curator who knows where much of the stolen artwork is but won't tell the Allies because she fears that they won't return it to the French.
It's Damon's job to convince her to change her mind.
The screenplay by Clooney and Grant Heslov, its exposition on the stingy side, is based on the 2010 nonfiction book The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History, by Robert M. Edsel.
It's a chronicle of the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives program, an Allied group assigned to go behind enemy lines during World War II in a race against time, track down and rescue art masterpieces and other important cultural artifacts before they can be destroyed by Hitler, and then return them to their rightful owners.
And who took on this improbable if not impossible mission? Not superspies or secret agents or Spandex-clad superheroes, but a team of seven cerebral and sedentary citizens: American and British museum directors, curators, and art historians who, following D-Day, traveled around Europe's war zones in pursuit of these cherished and valuable items.
Clooney plays Frank Stokes (inspired by the real-life George L. Stout), a curator and conservationist who, in the spring of 1944, persuades a reluctant President Franklin Delano Roosevelt of the importance of preserving priceless Western art treasures by rescuing them from the Nazis' looting operation, during which they have hidden purloined works of art with plans to destroy them during their retreat.
A greatest-generation period piece that combines group-effort elements of The Great Escape and Ocean's Eleven, (along with ragtag-repertory strains from The Bad News Bears), The Monuments Men is certainly director Clooney's most, if not only, "action"-oriented project thus far.
But it never abandons itself to shoot-'em-up filler. Clooney struggles a bit with tone as he attempts the difficult mix of the studied goofiness of broad slapstick sequences with dramatic scenes lined with heart-tugging sentiment. If the two thrusts blended more smoothly, the film might proceed somewhat more commandingly towards its climax.
Still, there is significant viewing pleasure watching these high-profile stars do their understated thing and sufficient if not supreme suspense, even if the characters disperse at a certain point and our appreciation dips, and even if the script is a bit too preachy and literal in its attempt to convince the audience of the importance of the mission they're watching unfold.
So we'll rescue 3 stars out of 4 for the bloodless and enjoyable The Monuments Men, a thoughtful thriller in which appealing antiheroes struggle to prevent the death of culture and George Clooney creates his own modest (dare I say it?) work of art.
