FDA and Cuba sign MoU for mutual capacity building
The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) on Tuesday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Cuban Embassy in Ghana, to collaborate with sister institutions for mutual capacity building.
Mrs Delese Mimi Darko, the Chief Executive Officer of the FDA, signed for Ghana, while Mr Pedro Luis Despaigne Gonzalez, the Cuban Ambassador, signed for his country.
Mrs Darko said although Ghana's collaboration with Cuba dated almost 40 years, with both countries enjoying reciprocal cooperation in areas of training health professionals and technology transfer, it was the first time of collaborating with pharmaceutical and drug manufacturing industries to learn from each other.
She said the present collaboration between the two countries started two years ago with the signing of an MoU with the Ministry of Health, and acknowledged the fact that as an institution under the Ministry, the FDA stood to benefit immensely from Cuba's advancement in Science.
There would, therefore, be an exchange of knowledge and support between sister institutions in the two countries for their mutual benefit to ensure the right products were made available for both their citizens, she said.
Mrs Darko said in Ghana about 30 per cent of medicines were manufactured locally, while Cuba had about 50 per cent, so the MoU would help each other in improving the capacities of their local industries for better outcomes.
Mr Gonzalez, expressed his excitement about the collaboration, saying the two countries shared the common will to strengthen, expand and deepen bilateral relations.
He said the MOU would help intensify cooperation in health promotion to achieve wider mutual benefits in the socio-economic development of both countries.
Cuba had since 1983 supported the healthcare system in Ghana by bringing in doctors to work, he said.
Mr Gonzalez said the COVID-19 pandemic had more than ever brought to the fore the need for strengthened collaboration among institutions and nations to learn from one another, and to ensure quality healthcare for their populations.
Cuba, he said, was still developing and had its own pharmaceutical manufacturing industries, while conducting various researches into obtaining vaccines including its current candidate COVID-19 vaccines.
Mr Gonzalez said Cuba's diplomatic relations with Ghana had been very solid and mutually beneficial, which would extend not only to Africa but the rest of the worldwide.
He expressed his country's continuous commitment towards improving health, education and other sectors of the country.

Asian shares outside South Korea were on the back foot on Thursday, as economic data out of the region's top two economies heightened concerns about growth.
Japan's core machinery orders fell 3.6 percent in July from a month earlier, missing expectations for a rise of 3.7 percent, underscoring the need for Bank of Japan (BOJ) to offer fresh stimulus.
Over in China, the consumer price index (CPI) rose 2 percent in August from a year earlier, beating expectations for a 1.8 percent gain and up from 1.6 percent in July. However, the producer price index (PPI) declined 5.9 percent, compared with an expected 5.5 percent drop and after a 5.4 percent decline in the previous month. This marks the 42nd consecutive month of declines.
"PPI is related to what's happening in the real economy because it affects the revenue and profit of the corporate sector, which in turn will affect fixed investment and overall growth," Grace Ng, senior China economist at JP Morgan, told CNBC Asia's "Squawk Box."
"So from that perspective, it is still very much of a concern with PPI stuck in negative territory," Ng said.
An unimpressive lead from Wall Street also weighed on sentiment. Major U.S. averages ended down more than 1 percent overnight, on the back of selling pressure in Apple and energy-related counters. The blue-chip Dow and the S&P 500 lost 1.45 and 1.35 percent, respectively, while the Nasdaq Composite closed down 1.15 percent.
Nikkei skids 2.5%
Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 index failed to extend Wednesday's spectacular run, after a surprise miss in core machinery orders added to concerns about Asia's second-biggest economy.
Following the data release, the government cut its assessment for the leading indicator of private sector capital investment, saying that the pick-up in machinery orders "is seen stalling," Reuters reported.
In the previous session, the Tokyo bourse soared 7.7 percent, posting the bourse's largest one-day gain since October 2008, partly due to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's announcement early Wednesday that he would try to lower the corporate tax rate by at least 3.3 percentage points in the next financial year.
Short covering also likely contributed to the surge, according to IG analysts. "Short positions on the Nikkei dropped to 37.4 percent on Wednesday after sitting at 41.2 percent on Tuesday, further demonstrating that yesterday's rally was driven by short-covering," Melbourne-based Angus Nicholson wrote in a note.
Decliners were mostly in the energy, consumer discretionary, telecoms and consumer staples sectors. Profit-takers also likely eyed financial stocks, with Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group down more than 2 percent each.
Meanwhile, a tumble in Apple shares soured sentiment in related Japan-listed stocks; Murata Manufacturing Co and Alps Electric plunged 2.3 and 3.2 percent, respectively.

Squawk Box Asia
Mainland markets lower
China's share markets were submerged in negative turf for most of the trading day, tracking the region-wide sluggishness.
The key Shanghai Composite index closed down 1.5 percent, breaking a two-day winning streak. The blue-chip CSI300 and the Shenzhen Composite index also finished 1.2 and 1.6 percent lower, respectively.
The declines came amid remarks from Chinese Premier Li Keqiang who said Thursday that China is not at risk of a hard landing. Speaking at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Dalian, Li said China's economy faces challenges and downward pressures but there is no risk of a hard landing as the government is fully capable of supporting growth.
Shares of automakers were mixed after data released by an industry association showed auto sales in the mainland fell 3.0 percent in August from a year earlier to 1.7 million vehicles. That compares with a 7.1 percent drop in July and a 2.3 percent decline in June.
Dongfeng Auto closed down 4.2 percent, while Guangzhou Auto and Shenzhen-listed FAW Car notched up 0.2 and 1.3 percent, respectively.
China politics vs economy: Which is a bigger worry?
ASX loses 2.4%
Australia's index surrendered all of Wednesday's advances, with banking and oil-related stocks among the hardest-hit. According to Reuters, Thursday's decline is the bourse's biggest drop in over three weeks.
Santos slumped 5.1 percent following weakness in crude oil prices in Asian trade. Woodside Petroleum, which proposed an $8 billion all-share takeover plan for rival Oil Search on Monday, eased 2.6 percent.
Market bellwether BHP Billiton extended losses, down 3 percent, after going ex-dividend on Wednesday. Major lenders National Australia Bank, Australia and New Zealand Banking and Westpac also tumbled more than 3 percent each, contributing significant pressure on the bourse.
On the domestic data front, employment rose by 17,400 in August, better than a Reuters' forecast for a rise of 5,000, figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed on Thursday. The unemployment rate edged down to 6.2 percent as expected, helping to take some pressure off the Australian dollar which edged up towards 70 U.S. cents following the data release.
Meanwhile, shares in New Zealand finished flat after the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) cut its benchmark interest rate for the third consecutive meeting early Thursday while signaling the possibility of further easing. The 25-basis-point cut in the official cash rate to 2.75 percent was widely expected by analysts amid a softening economic outlook.
The tumbled 1.8 percent to $0.6285 on Thursday, near the six-and-a-half-year low of $0.6200 it hit last week.
Kospi rebounds 1.4%
South Korea's Kospi index changed course to end at its highest level since August 18, with shipbuilders leading the charge.
Samsung Heavy Industries and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering closed up above 9 and 7 percent respectively.
Blue chips turned mostly positive; Kepco and Posco advanced 3.4 and 1 percent respectively, but the bourse's top weighted stock Samsung Electronics held on to losses of 1.1 percent. Energy producers SK Innovation and S-Oil also pared losses to notch up 0.8 and 1 percent respectively.
However, Mirae Asset Securities Co. plunged nearly 18 percent after announcing late Wednesday that it would carry out a 1.2 trillion rights issue.

Taiex sheds 0.2%
Taiwan's weighted index edged down from Wednesday's one-month high, as a decline in Apple overnight pressured the shares of Taiwan-listed suppliers.
Hon Hai Precision Industry Co.. closed down 1.1 percent, while other major suppliers such as Pegatron and Catcher Technology eased 0.8 and 1.6 percent, respectively.
Quanta Computer bucked the downtrend to close up 2.8 percent after announcing that its August sales stood at T$90.9 billion (approximately $2.79 billion).

This instructable shows how to make a hand cranked zoetrope using laser cut parts. The bevel gear is created by laminating layers of 1.5mm plywood cut to form a gear with a mitred profile.
I run Little Sandbox, a kids tech club and maker space, with Helen, Soosie and Snoofers. One of the most popular activities in our homeschool group is animation, the kids love telling stories with stop motion. Sometimes we like to get away from the screens, get the pens out and make flip books and thaumatropes. I wanted to make a zoetrope with our laser cutter that we could use in club. The design is based on the 1860's William Ensign Lincoln design, with viewing slits above an interchangeable strip of images.
Zoetrope animations are short, this example has sixteen frames, so at 24 frames per second that is two thirds of a second. There's not really time to follow a narrative arc in these films, but for short repeating movements they work really well. A historical example of the type of motion that works well is the study by Eadweard Muybridge of a horse's gait. Snoofers created the animation shown here, they have written a section of this instructable describing how to create your own animation strips.
Animations play fairly smoothly, although it has a stroboscopic effect so care should be taken if this causes medical problems. This is also true of the example video in this instructable.
None of the steps in assembly are particularly difficult but there are a lot of components and some are similar. I've tried to include plenty of photographs to show the steps. Unless you are particularly dexterous with tweezers or magnetic screwdrivers I would recommend using blu tack to hold nuts in place until the bolt is beginning to catch the thread.
I've made the back panel out of clear acrylic to show the cogs meshing and how the living hinge door works. There is also a transparent acrylic pouch on the front of the base. This is to hold the movie poster for the current film being shown.
You will need lots of 3mm and 1.5mm birch ply and some 3mm transparent acrylic. I designed it to be as large as I could fit on a machine with bed dimensions of 300x400mm. The files are grouped by section and the filename includes the material they should be cut from to make it easier to identify them. Whatever size material you use, the pieces will pack more efficiently if you split the contents of these files across the sheets you cut.
I looked at lots of projects that successfully use simple spur gears at right angles to create a bevel gear. This approach works on a small scale but I wanted to make the biggest Zoetrope I could so I wanted something sturdier. Even simple beveled gear profiles aren't very easy to achieve in a laser cutter that works only perpendicular to the material surface. So I borrowed the principle from additive manufacturers of building up a mitred gear profile in layers of thin plywood.
I usually work in Inkscape to create cut paths, and came up with a method based on its involute gear generator.
Set the number of teeth, I've used twelve for the crank cog and eighteen for the drive cog. The circular pitch determines how thick the teeth are, as long as it is the same for all your gears they will mesh correctly. Because they are being made from wood this needs to be fairly large compared to values we would normally use for metal or plastic gears, I used 24mm for this build. The other two fields can be left as default values.
The cogs produced will be the middle slice of our final gears. I've used eight slices cut from 1.5mm sheets, giving a thickness of 12mm for the final cog. To make the other slices it's simply a case of scaling this cog's height and width uniformly by twice the thickness of the material, ie 3mm per slice in this case. I made three progressively smaller cogs and four that increase in size. It's a good idea to number the cogs to make assembly easier. I'd also recommend rotating alternate gears when you cut them to cross the wood grain and make the final gear stronger.
The gear profiles produced are 'pixellated' steps between the layers rather than a smooth face. I had expected to need to file these flat but the cogs mesh well and run smoothly enough to drive the zoetrope without sanding or filing.
If you are more comfortable using 3d design packages an alternative approach would be to model gears in a 3d package and then slice the model using the thickness of the material as the layer height. This could be done in Fusion 360 and the Slicer plugin. If you use other 3d design software such as OpenSCAD or Tinkercad to create a model you can user Slic3r to convert the model into slices for laser cutting.
Each cog is made up of eight slices cut from 1.5mm plywood, two pieces that make the axle cut from 3mm material and four 15mm M3 bolts and nuts. I rotated every other slice before cutting so that the grain of the wood is crossed in the finished piece.
I haven't had any problems running the cogs without glue, the four bolts hold the slices together well enough for the gears to work. For later iterations of this design I have glued each layer, using the axle to line them up.
The support for the gears fixes to the base panel, the small cog fits between the two uprights to keep everything aligned. This part is quite fiddly to put together but forms a solid base.
Start with the frame that supports the larger gear. Use 8 10mm bolts to assemble this piece.
Slot this into the two long supports.
Fit the small cog and washers into the final upright and locate the tabs into the long support piece, use two more 10mm bolts to fix this in place.
Use seven more 10mm bolts to fix this structure to the base.
There are two more struts to add to the upright to fix it to the side panel, you'll need another four 10mm bolts for this, and three to secure the bottom of the side panel.
The side panel is the first of the external pieces in this build so if you're planning on finishing the wood it's a good idea to do it before this part of the assembly. I lightly sanded the pieces, and then waxed them with a staining wax. Varnish, Danish oil and paint are all good alternatives, but you'll still also need wax or some other lubricant for the moving parts.
The drum is made of sixteen panels fixed to two hoops, running on four wheels. As well as the laser cut parts you will need four 15mm lengths of 3mm bamboo skewer for the wheel axles.
Start by fixing the sixteen panels to the bottom hoop, with the viewing slots at the top. There is a right way up for the bottom hoop, if the panels don't fit together neatly to form a drum - it's upside down. It's a good idea to glue as well as bolt these pieces in place, that way you can remove the bolts temporarily before you paint it.
Next glue and bolt the top hoop in place. The panels should fit together quite tightly, but there will be gaps. Filling these gaps will make for a better animation effect. I used masking tape on the inside of the joins and a flexible filler applied from the outside. When it's dry sand the joints smooth.
Painting the drum matt black will reduce the light reflected from the outside of the drum between frames. I found it easier to take out the bolts while I did this. I placed the drum inside a cardboard box with all the cracks taped up (to protect the carpet and wall) and spraypainted the drum using many thin layers, rotating the drum once one spray was dry and going over each area about 3 times in the course of many rotations. I also spraypainted the top brackets for the wheels, and the brackets that will hold the film in place (the film brackets needed turning once one side was fully covered and dry). Be careful with it whilst painting; since it has no bolts in it it's a bit more fragile.
The four wheels are made up of two brackets each, one fixed at either side of the bottom hoop. Line up the bottom one, then drop in the wheel and bamboo axle. Place the second bracket over the top and fix in place with 12mm M3 bolts. A little bit of wax or silicon based furniture polish on the axle helps the drum run smoothly.
Finally fix the sixteen brackets to the bottom hoop with 10mm bolts ready to take the animation strips.
The crank is made up of two parts that slot together to form a solid handle. They only fit together one way but it's worth assembling without bolts first to make sure you've got the pieces in the right place. All the parts of this piece are visible externally so should be finished in the same way as you did with the side panel in the previous step before assembly.
Slide the two pieces together and use the spacer and two more 10mm bolts to join them together.
Before the top plate is added we need to build the curved shelf for storing spare films.
Next construct the shelves with the three fin shaped uprights and the curved shelf.
Fix the two end pieces with two 10mm bolts.
The sliding door uses curved rails to keep it in place. Glue and clamp pairs of rails to the top and bottom plates, using the etched guides to align them.
Now you can add the top plate, making sure all the tabs are correctly located. The files I have included are slightly different to the images here, I've taken out some of the bolts shown because they were binding on the wheels. You will need six 10mm bolts.
Slide the door in from the back of the box, making sure the tabs for the handles are first, so that when the door is slid in front of the shelves the handle is on the left. It's worth lightly sanding the top and bottom edges of the door and adding plenty of wax to these edges and the rails.
Next use the three spacers and front piece to form the pouch to hold the 'Now showing' poster. Fix this to the front plate with 12mm bolts.
Screw the front, side and transparent back plates in place.
Use the final two pieces of the crank handle to fix it to the axle of the small gear with 12mm bolts.
The last step is to slot the drum onto the upright axle and secure it with the two semicircular pieces and two 12mm bolts.
The machine is now finished and you should be able to turn the crank to spin the drum.
Hey everyone, this is Snoofers! We figured since I did this part, it might be easier and more sensible if I wrote the steps.
So the first thing I want to point out is that we've provided the same "film" we used in our photos and videos for you to try if you want to; it's called animation.svg. Secondly, we've also provided an svg called "blank strip" that's already the right size to work with this zoetrope, so you can either create digital images and drop them in (if you have snapping active in Inkscape, you should be able to snap the right size images in there) or you can print it off blank and draw them by hand. The right size, by the way, is 67.518 mm by 45.314 mm - sorry about the awkward sizing, there was a lot of trial and error involved in getting the strip to be exactly the right length.
What I found easiest was to use the multiple layers in GIMP to facilitate animation. With only 16 frames, you want to keep it simple, so I just drew "Grobot" who grows and shrinks. To make that easier, I put the "floor," the legs, the arms and the head each on their own layer. That way, I could save the initial image, then move individual parts, then save that image, and so on. Seeing as Grobot is only growing and shrinking, I made 8 frames and then duplicated them again in the reverse order. This achieved two things; it made the animation simple and quick, and it allowed me to duplicate frames 1 and 8 to give him slightly more time at his smallest and at his tallest, which looked quite pleasing in the animated gif I created to preview the animation.
I found that high contrast helps the images be clearer - again, they've moving fast and your eyes have to compensate for the "shuttering" of the drum being spun around. The original animations featured a robot who was white, except for his black outlines, but for the final I went with a darkish grey colour to help him stand out more, and it really made the animation work better in the zoetrope.
I did experiment a fair bit - there's a robot who grows, then flashes green eyes and a green glow from his antenna, a robot who draws a red heart in mid-air with his antenna, and a robot who hasn't got a bobble at the top of his antenna but obtains one from the gloop dripping from the ceiling, then shakes it off and shrinks back down. I found that fine detail is absolutely easily lost in the zoetrope, and colours have to be very bold to stand out, which is why I wound up going (for now!) with a plain grow-and-shrink grey robot. I heartily recommend experimenting though!
If you're not using Linux or not able to use ImageMagick, there are loads of tools to make individual images into animated gifs - but seeing how an animation works out before you go to the trouble of printing and sticking can be really valuable for minor adjustments like a movement you're not quite keen on now you see it in action, or realising (ahem) that you've accidentally subbed in a white robot with your grey ones. As a random example that definitely didn't happen to me (twice).
To turn your animation into a film strip, once you've pasted your images into the svg file, print them off (I only have access to an A4 printer, so while I've adjusted the document size to fit the strips perfectly for the svg, to print I use a document size of A4 and then print the animation over two pages containing two strips each). Cut them out carefully, whilst trying to leave as little white and as much black as possible. Next, put strip 1 (frames 1-4) and strip 2 (frames 5-8) together face-down, with the black tab after frame 4 overlapping frame 5 on the second strip. Using sellotape, tape over the tab, then using two more strips of sellotape, tape over the little corners you cut out to really secure the two together. Repeat for strips 3 (frames 9-12) and 4 (frames 13-16). Don't stick strip 4 to strip 1, as it'll make it a lot harder to insert the lot into the zoetrope.
Now your strip is ready, carefully slide it behind the upright clips in the drum of the zoetrope. The leftover tab should slot neatly behind frame 1, leaving a perfect array of frames surrounded by plain black.
That's it! You're ready to crank the handle and animate by hand!


Friday - Jan 20 Loafed around the barracks all day waiting until Bob was secure. Finally, at 1600 the base was secured, and we took off for Omaha. It was a very enjoyable ride despite the fact I only got 3 hrs sleep last night. I'll never cease to be thankful for my car. There we were speeding along at a good clip, warm and comfortable, listening to the best music the radio had to offer. Real luxury. We got into Omaha about 8:40 PM, and stopped to get some flowers before going on home. I purchased a dozen jonquils for my mother, and Bob got his a potted plant, a cyclamen, or something like that. It was sure good to get home again. Mother fixed me some sausage and scrambled eggs and a fine salad. We visited till late and then finally to bed.


Why we opposed industry – Avonhead Community Group Inc.
According to Council, the current plan is for the access to the land to be from the Russley Road side BUT…there is a high likelihood that the Russley Road access won't be permitted by the New Zealand Road Transport Authority So access will be from Hawthornden Road That means our roads will have a large traffic inflow. As well as domestic cars there will be an influx of heavy goods vehicles What will be the impact on school children, noise levels, road safety and the general feel of the locality?
How does the proposed rezoning of NWRA Area 3 compare to the Airport Business Park, 92 Russley Road (home of Smith & Smith, Telecom, etc)?
Air quality Noise levels Night-time lighting annoyance Loss of existing separation from current industrial/business and airport activities. Population density Ecological impacts (birds) Visual obstruction – a concrete jungle Socio-cultural: loss of suburban identity Soil Subsoil water table damage Odour Toxicity?
The water pressure is already weak Greater demand for water means weaker pressure Inadequate storm water drainage in the area Increased chances of system failure.
How far will this be from the boundary of the business zone?
Why did you buy a property in this locality? What factors influenced you? How will these factors be affected by having an industry/business park nearby? The question is: do you think an industry/business park would add or detract from living in the area? Compare this with other localities that are in business zones: Northwood William Pickering Drive Hornby.
Rolleston: the industrial and residential areas are independent of each other Hornby: the residential zone is surrounded by the industrial area The difference in the average house prices in these two suburbs speaks for itself Which suburb are we going to be like?

Q: Xamarin.UITest: how to set date on DatePicker component? I want to write some functional tests on my app. I have simple window with on DatePicker component:
<DatePicker AutomationId="PlanWyborDaty" Date="{Binding Data, Mode=TwoWay}" Format="dddd, dd-MM-yyyy" Margin="8, 0" DateSelected="OnDateChange"  />

I tried these codes in my test method:
app.Query(x => x.Marked("PlanWyborDaty").Invoke("updateDate", 2020, 9, 2));
app.Query(x => x.Class("DatePicker").Invoke("updateDate", 2020, 9, 2));

but date in picker is still the same. I searched a lot, and found only these methods. Any ideas?
Emulator is Pixel 2 API 28 Android 9.0

A: Firstly, add DatePicker control with AutomationId="datepicker"
   <DatePicker AutomationId="datepicker" />

Then using following code in UItest.cs:
 [Test]
    public void DatePickerTest()
    {
        app.Tap(c => c.Marked("datepicker"));
        SetDatePicker(new DateTime(2018, 1, 1));

    }

public void SetDatePicker(DateTime date)
{
// needed to tap & thus select the items
string month = DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.GetMonthName(date.Month);
string day = date.Day.ToString();
string year = date.Year.ToString();

if (platform == Platform.iOS)

A few days ago Ken Cuccinelli, Virginia's new conservative Republican attorney general, "advised the state's public colleges that they don't have the authority to ban discrimination based on sexual orientation, saying only the General Assembly has that power," producing a stampede of criticism not only from the usual suspects but also others who are not reflexively anti-Republican.
More than 3,000 people joined the Facebook page We Don't Want Discrimination In Our State Universities And Colleges! Nearly 1,000 people joined another, started by activists at the College of William and Mary. The University of Virginia group Queer & Allied Activism urged students to protest on Cuccinelli's Facebook page and on Twitter.
Students at Virginia Commonwealth University, one of the few in the state not on break, planned a rally for noon Wednesday, with several hundred students committed. At Christopher Newport University, student Republican and Democratic leaders will discuss their next steps at a bipartisan meeting Friday.
When the Republicans in Virginia staged a comeback last fall, they did so by persuading independent voters that the GOP had given up its desire to police our bedrooms, and would focus instead on pragmatic solutions for serious issues, like the dearth of jobs, the cost of education and the surplus of traffic. Here was the model for a Republican resurgence in 2010, the wise guys in Washington said.
But the paint wasn't dry in the office of Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli II before he jumped at the chance to indulge in gay-bashing. He dashed off a letter to the state's colleges and universities, telling them to rescind their policies that ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
Now, some may regard this as a minor point and others may regard it as irrelevant, but before saying more I should point out that Cuccinelli's legal argument may in fact be correct. It is not at all clear that Virginia's public colleges do have the legal authority to go beyond state law in banning various forms of discrimination.
[s]ome lawmakers called Cuccinelli's stand consistent with legal opinions offered by past attorneys general, who have advised local governments that they do not have the legal right to add sexual orientation to their policies without authorization from the General Assembly.
But legalities aside, even if Cuccinelli is correct on the law, that doesn't mean he should have charged ahead provoking a public firestorm on a controversial social issue, especially after the Republican ticket headed by newly elected Gov. Bob McDonnell had studiously avoided social issues in the campaign. If Cuccinelli had revealed an intention to tell colleges they could not prohibit discrimination against gays there's a chance neither he nor even Gov. McDonnell would have been elected.

Q: Is there a way to assign a variable in XPath? Is it possible to do the following by just using XPath? I would like to find a way to do this in 1.0 I don't think its possible in 1.0.
Example
<test>
  <title>title1</title>
  <title>title2</title>
  <title>title3</title>
  <creator>creator1</creator>
  <creator>creator2</creator>
</test>

I want the following output:
title1 creator1
title2 creator2
title3

I was thinking this might be more suited for xquery but I'm not sure as I have never used it. It would be a lot of work to add xquery to my current application and why I'm trying to avoid. The closest  thing I have come up with for working was using
/test/title/fn:string-join( (text(), /test/creator/text()[position()]), ' ')

The issue being I get both creators in this example for all. I was wonder if there was some way to get the current position and set the position for creator? I know how to do this in xslt easily but that is not a option for me.

A: This is not possible in XPath 1.0. In both XQuery (1.0 is fine) and XPath 2.0, you could do like this:
for $i in 1 to max((count(//title), count(//creator)))
return string-join((//title[$i], //creator[$i]), ' ')

August 1, 2016, Joshua Ferris, "The Abandonment": A popular television actor believes his wife has left him when she doesn't immediately return to their New York apartment from buying Sunday morning bagels and a newspaper. ¶ Nick spends hours searching for her, even tosses his cell phone in the trash in frustration and then can't recall the correct ashcan when he returns to retrieve it. In the next scene, however, he takes a car to Brooklyn and visits with a married female artist he's met four days earlier at an important opening in midtown. In this tête-à-tête they compare their lives—Ferris makes a point of having them compare the scents of their lives—and they end up making out. When they finally determine that Nick must leave before her husband and family return, he passes by the rowdy bunch on his way to the elevator. Back in Manhattan, Nick's wife has to open the door for him because his key no longer seems to work. The reader now becomes privy to information that Nick has done this before: left her momentarily because of his abandonment issues. So the reader is left with sort of an O. Henry / F. Scott Fitzgerald magazine-story irony that hinges on one factor. If this wife of his, Naomi, had taken her cell phone with her—even to pick up bagels, this woman who only too well knows what her husband's abandonment issues are—then there would be no story, no magazine irony. In today's world no person under forty abandons her phone, even for a short errand, especially in Manhattan. What if Nick should want to change his bagel order or want something else? What if I'm molested? This point seems to demand a greater than normal suspension of disbelief. Ferris is the author of To Rise Again at a Decent Hour, which came out in 2015.


Today's post is brought to you by the letter GENRE.
I promise you, science fiction and fantasy aren't as scary as they seem. There's some awesome lit written in them, both in YA and outside of YA, and we can learn a lot from sf/f.
So yes, I think that fantasy, fairy tale, and myth, including science fiction, play an important role in literature and our culture. After all, the first "science fiction" ended up predicting the technology and abilities we have today.
I am considering combining the first two books of my proposed secondary world post-apocalyptic sci-fi quartet into a single book. I'm sitting here with my nook on my lap and a pad of blank paper next to me where I'm mapping out what would change and what I would edit out and what the conflict/structure would look like.
No, Really. No One Hashtags Secondary World Problems.
Hope some of these end up on your bookmarks too!

Paul was one of this world's gentle-men. He was greatly loved in his ministry at St. Paul's Parish, West Sunshine. It was my privilege to work in the Parish team there with Paul as leader and I learnt so much at that time. No matter what the challenges or struggles were, for Paul the glass was always half full and never half empty. He was a talented leader who had the ability to embrace all.

No matter what the challenges or struggles were in the parish, for Paul... the glass was always half full.... never half empty.
Paul's warmth of character shined through at St Paul's College. He was a great guy, and cared deeply for others. Captain of the school, of the first 11 and the first 13, he had the world at his feet, and his choice to dedicate his life in the sevice of his God is testament to the man. I knew him as a classmate and a friend. I remember him as a fine human being who will be sorely missed.

Sims Ellison, the namesake for the SIMS Foundation, was the bass player for hard-core band Pariah before tragically dying by suicide in 1995. (Photo courtesy of The SIMS Foundation.
Austin is a city that cares about the preservation of its natural resources. Parks and nature areas dot the spaces between buildings and businesses and recycling bins line the sidewalks. However, the resource Austin cares for the most is its wealth of musicians.
There are several organizations within the city that are geared toward bettering the lives of Austin's struggling musicians. One such organization is the SIMS Foundation.
The SIMS Foundation is a nonprofit organization that aims to provide musicians and their direct relatives with access to mental health care and substance abuse care.
Local musicians Don Harvey and Wayne Nagel founded the foundation in 1995. SIMS is named for the late Sims Ellison of the hard-rock band Pariah.
According to Harvey, Ellison battled with depression for a number of years before tragically dying by suicide in 1995. This was enough to set the wheels in motion for an organization that could help musicians with any mental health issues they might experience.
According to Jennifer Vocelka, a clinical adviser for SIMS, there are very minimal stipulations that potential clients must meet to qualify for SIMS-funded care. Potential clients are screened for eligibility and must be a musician, partner of a musician or dependent of a musician who lives in Travis or one of the contiguous counties. Musicians must also currently be playing gigs or have some sort of presence in the city. This cuts out the thriving population of street musicians who can be heard on numerous street corners and sidewalks when wandering through the city.
Despite this discrepancy, there are plenty of musicians who reap the benefits that SIMS has to offer. Vocelka said that SIMS serves roughly 700 local musicians per year.
According to Layne Lauritzen, SIMS Foundation treasurer, the funds raised by SIMS are sufficient for such a daunting task.
Lauritzen said he would like to see more funding in order to better care for musicians suffering from substance abuse and addiction problems. Lauritzen said this sort of treatment tends to be more expensive, and board members are forced to be more selective when choosing eligible clients for such extensive care.
While some clients contact SIMS directly through the provided Client Line telephone number, others are referred to the foundation by the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians, or HAAM.
HAAM picks up the bill for local musicians with physical health needs, but it refers those with psychiatric or substance abuse needs to SIMS. However, HAAM treats only musicians while SIMS also treats musicians' direct relatives.
Among SIMS' clientele is Austin musician Nakia, who tells his story of battling bipolar disorder in a video displayed on the SIMS Foundation website.

"WHY?" (Series – Part 1): What kind of Relationship do you have with Jesus?
bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.
I didn't get mixed up on the order. I read them in that order on purpose. Jesus is winding down His earthly ministry and He has moved and He has moved away from teaching the multitudes; now He's teaching the Twelve. He's having a business meeting. Whenever you shrink the group you're talking to, the information becomes more intense. And Jesus is having a board meeting. And the thing you need to understand is when somebody gets to closing remarks, you need to listen more intently because last ones are always more meaningful.
And Jesus is winding down His earthly ministry; the preparation for His crucifixion is about to begin and He's getting His disciples off into a corner and He's giving them some last minute notes. And the thing He starts talking to them about is relationships: How they are, the nature of them and how to navigate through them. And He starts talking to them about how their relationship is going to change.
How many of you know that there are people that live at levels with God that they have information that other people do not possess? And you have to move forward in a relationship with God to increase in that information. The fact is Jesus is changing the relationship to a greater level of intimacy.
Let me tell you what intimacy is: Intimacy has nothing to do with your body. Intimacy has nothing to with sexual activity. Intimacy is information. Intimacy is INFORMATION. And the more intimate you are in a relationship that means the more information you have given them about you. That's why I have always said if you're dating or have a new friend, you don't go have coffee at Starbuck's one time and in 4 minutes start telling them how bad your divorce was. They have not earned that level of intimacy. See, that is intimate information. What you're doing is bringing them in way too close… way too quick.
Intimacy is earned and we are at the backside of 3 ½ years of guys who would die with Jesus, walk with Jesus, walk in dirt with Jesus, cross deserts with Jesus. They put their head on the same rocks, ate the same food, they taught the same places, they saw the same miracles, they did everything Jesus did and now they have earned moving from just being followers and servants to having ACCESS to what He knows.
And the fact is some of you God had to test you before He could talk to you.


Insurance Auto Auctions (IAA) wanted to create a mobile site for vehicle sellers. With approximately 20 percent of its AdWords advertising budget devoted to mobile, the IAA team wanted to place a stronger emphasis on mobile conversions.
Marcel Digital's mission was to create a user experience with content and tools that prioritized the mobile visitor. Marcel was also tasked with rebuilding the IAA AdWords campaign to better target mobile searches that were being conducted by potential customers. This would require continued optimizations to better target user's searches, while also provided a site that was tailored to mobile traffic coming to the site through paid search and organic efforts.
Marcel Digital began by utilizing our experience and knowledge of both mobile web development and paid search best practices from Google and other search engines to ensure we approached our strategy appropriately. What we found was that IAA's mobile experience was not meeting search engine best practices, requiring a content and layout revamp. Part of this issue was because URLs were not redirecting from the desktop URLs to mobile URLs, creating a lacking user experience.
We then did extensive research into target queries and user searches for a mobile paid campaign build. The foundation we built for this campaign would be flexible and allow for us to refine the campaign as we saw user searches and key metrics change.
These solutions not only helped the IAA website perform better from a user experience standpoint but also helped increase our landing page Quality Scores within Google AdWords, driving more targeted traffic and giving IAA better visibility for their paid efforts. We continued to finetune our paid search strategy, targeting more focused queries and keywords that were matching both our user's needs and intent, driving higher quality leads and conversions over time.
Through vigorous research and creating an experience that not only met user's needs but also search engine paid search best practices and standards, Marcel Digital was able to increase IAA's ROI exponentially. Not only did mobile site traffic increase by 58%, but mobile site conversions increased by over 20%.


If you just want to make a cute home décor accessory, make one of these! They are so adorable and you can use them in so many ways! If you have a pallet lying around, this is the perfect project for it! You can also use new wood, check out the tutorial!
We made these out of necessity, and old pieces of wood we had lying around. I had been looking for some to buy but could not find a source. So, I made my own! These are fun hung on the wall or set on a shelf! I made them out of old plywood, and that just added to the character!


The Blades Custom bridge is designed and constructed in the tried and true traditional way, and uses high quality hard rock maple and old ebony salvaged from piano keys for the saddle cap. We've found these to really bring out more of a "hot rod" sound over most stock bridges. The responsiveness on all frequencies is increased and the notes jump out more quickly with more volume. A really good option for the discerning banjoist. Available in standard 5/8" height and can be had in regular spacing or the slightly wider Crowe spacing.

School Reopening: Don't Send Your Child Back to School If You Are Not Comfortable With It – Federal Govt Says
by Olexhome July 2, 2020, 2:45 pm
Emeka Nwajiuba, the Minister of State for Education, has said parents are not under compulsion to send their children back to school, despite the federal government's decision to reopen learning institutions.
Pupils in Primary 6, JSS 3 and SSS 3 have been asked to return to classes, so they can prepare to graduate.
But Nwajiuba, speaking on Channels Television on Wednesday evening, told parents who are not comfortable with sending their wards back, to keep them at home.
The Minister, however, allayed the fears of parents and teachers, assuring that adequate measures have been put in place to ensure the safety of everyone.
"We understand the limitations of Nigerians. Most people cannot afford laptops and devices and we know that not all our children have the same access.
"And if there are people who do have this access and who feel confident that their children are ready for these exams, nobody is compelling anybody to go to any school," Nwajiuba said.

Minnesota's Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Program to be recognized on State Fair Military Appreciation Day
August 26, 2016 (ST. PAUL, Minnesota) — The sixth annual Military Appreciation Day at the Minnesota State Fair presented by USAA on Tuesday, August 30, will recognize Minnesota's Beyond the Yellow Ribbon program and provide an educational opportunity for all fairgoers to learn about Minnesota's military community.
"Veterans, active duty service members, and military families deserve our immense gratitude for their sacrifice and commitment," said Governor Mark Dayton. "Since 2008, over 290 cities, counties, businesses and non-profits have joined Minnesota's "Beyond the Yellow Ribbon" program, and are now providing community support and employment assistance to veterans and military families. I thank these organizations for their leadership, and encourage all Minnesotans to thank and support our military heroes."
A 10:00 a.m. program at the Minnesota State Fair's Leinie Lodge Bandshell will celebrate Minnesota's Beyond the Yellow Ribbon program. The program will conclude at 10:25 a.m. with a historic flyover of World War II-era P6 and B25 aircraft.
"Since the inception of the Beyond the Yellow Ribbon program in 2008, companies and communities within Minnesota have shown immense support to their service members," said Maj. Gen. Rick Nash, Minnesota National Guard Adjutant General.
Minnesota's Beyond the Yellow Ribbon program connects service members and their families with support and resources in their local communities.
"As I have traveled around the state I am always amazed at the patriotism, pride and collaboration that goes into forming and sustaining a Yellow Ribbon network," said Annette Kuyper, Minnesota National Guard Director of Military Outreach. "The individuals at these cities, counties and companies have taken it upon themselves to identify resources in their community to support our military-connected residents and their families."
Several activities are planned for Military Appreciation Day at the State Fair this year. There will be nearly 50 educational booths located in Expo Place at the corner of Murphy Ave. and Cooper St. Minnesota's Yellow Ribbon companies will also be highlighting their efforts in Carousel Park, with the Mall of America providing family friendly entertainment throughout the day on the Carousel Park stage.
The Minnesota National Guard's 34th Infantry Division Red Bull Band will perform at the Leinie Lodge Bandshell at 10:30 and 11:45 where there will be a special announcement for the 34th Red Bull Infantry Division's upcoming 100th Anniversary celebration.
The State Fair is offering discounted tickets ($8 rate) for military members with documentation at the gate.
For more information on the Military Appreciation Day at the State Fair go to http://www.mnstatefair.org/general_info/visitor_guide/Military-Appreciation-Day.html.
Ceremony planned for Saturday to officially welcome home 31 Minnesota National Guard soldiers

Jul 06 ansa Jul 08 caducity
Previous Day Load More
noun [an-suh]
either of the apparent extremities of the rings of Saturn or of other planets, especially when viewed from a distance under certain conditions, when they look like two handles.
What is the origin of ansa?
English ansa comes via French anse "handle" from Latin ānsa "handle (of a cup, a door), a loop, an opening, an opportunity." As a term in art history or archaeology, ansa means "an incised, decorated handle of a vase." The astronomical sense "one of the apparent extremities of the rings of Saturn or other celestial bodies" is a New Latin sense dating from the 17th century. Latin ānsa is akin to Old Prussian ansis "hook, kettle-hook" and Lithuanian ąsà "pot handle."
How is ansa used?
A distinct dark patch, like a notch, visible near the middle of the ansa, broadest on the face of ring, and extending nearly from the inner to outer edge. Thomas Gwyn Elger, "Physical Observations of Saturn in 1888," Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Vol. 48, 1888
The moon Epimetheus can be seen near Saturn, just above the right ansa, or the portion of the ring that appears farthest away from the planet's disk in the image. Jeanna Bryner, "Spectacular Saturn Images by 'Amateurs' Will Make Your Jaw Drop," Space.com, September 18, 2017
Jul 05 thalassic Jul 07 everywhen
thalassic
adjective [thuh-las-ik]
of or relating to seas and oceans.
What is the origin of thalassic?
Thalassic "pertaining to seas or oceans, growing or found in the sea" is a relatively rare technical term used in oceanography, usually applied to bodies of salt water such as gulfs or bays that are smaller than oceans. The adjective comes ultimately from the Greek noun thálassa, thálatta "sea, the sea, the Mediterranean Sea." Thálassa has no reliable etymology but is from the same pre-Greek language that gave Greek an alternative form to thálassa, thálatta, namely, dalánkha, recorded only once, in a dictionary of the 5th century a.d. Early in "Telemachus," the first chapter of Ulysses, the irrepressible Malachi "Buck" Mulligan tries to convert a sullen Stephen Dedalus from Catholicism to Hellenism: "Ah, Dedalus, the Greeks…. You must read them in the original. Thalatta! Thalatta!" But Buck's Hellenism is as shallow as everything else about him: he would have seen thalatta thalatta in his second or third semester of high school Greek in Book 4, Chapter 7 of the Anabasis of Xenophon, whose works were much read as school texts because of the simplicity of his style. The word thalassic entered English in the mid-18th century.
How is thalassic used?
I, recalling the crimson chamber in his castle, speculated upon his living arrangements in thalassic caverns I could scarcely conceive. Gene Wolfe, The Urth of the New Sun, 1987
He was sure something would come from the deeps to attack the fleet. There were old thalassic Instrumentalities uglier than any revenants stirring ashore. Glen Cook, Lord of the Silent Kingdom, 2007

What is the origin of John Hancock?
John Hancock (1737–93) was a prominent American patriot, statesman, and merchant, mostly unknown today except for his magnificent signature. Hancock served as president of the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia when the Declaration of Independence was approved (not signed) on July 4, 1776. Hancock's signature on the Declaration became an American colloquialism for a personal signature in the mid-19th century.

paradisiacal
adjective [par-uh-di-sahy-uh-kuhl, -zahy-]
of, like, or befitting paradise.
What is the origin of paradisiacal?
Paradisiacal comes from the Late Latin adjective paradīsiacus "pertaining to heaven, pertaining to the Garden of Eden," a word appearing only in Christian authors. Paradīsiacus is a derivative of the noun paradīsus "a park," and in Christian authors, "paradise." Paradīsus is a borrowing of the Greek noun parádeisos, which first appears in the works of the Athenian historian and essayist Xenophon (c430-350 b.c.), meaning "enclosed park or pleasure ground with animals (for hunting)," and always referring to the grounds of Persian kings and nobles. In later authors parádeisos simply meant "garden, orchard." By the time of the Septuagint (the oldest Greek version of the Hebrew Bible, translated in the 3rd and 2nd centuries b.c.), parádeisos referred to the Garden of Eden (as in Genesis 2:8). In the Gospels parádeisos means "the abode of the blessed, heaven." Parádeisos is a Greek borrowing from Avestan pairidaēza "enclosure," literally "walled around." (Avestan is the ancient East Iranian language of the Zoroastrian scriptures.) Paradisiacal entered English in the 17th century.
How is paradisiacal used?
... the proximity to the Tols, a range of inland mountains, created otherworldly climates which were sometimes paradisiacal, sometimes demoniacal, always one extreme or the other. Stephen Marche, Shining at the Bottom of the Sea, 2007
Unlike our paradisiacal, blue-and-white Earth, the moon has no atmosphere and no real sky—just gray dust and black space, such that color photographs from moonwalks appear mostly black and white, as though someone colorized the American flags after the fact.

Jul 02 tmesis Jul 04 John Hancock
The Words That Make Us Tick: What Users Are Looking Up On Dictionary.com Every Day
The Not-So-Nice Evolution Of The Word "Nice"
tmesis
noun [tuh-mee-sis]
the interpolation of one or more words between the parts of a compound word, as be thou ware for beware.
What is the origin of tmesis?
Tmesis is not a misspelling of thesis; tmêsis "cutting" is a Greek noun, a derivative of the verb témnein "to cut, prune, castrate." Tmesis is a feature of the archaic epic syntax of the Iliad and Odyssey, in which there is a separation of an adverb (which becomes a prefix in Classical Greek) from its verb by an intervening word or phrase, as in the Iliad en d'autòs edýseto nṓropa chalkòn "… and he himself put on his gleaming bronze," where the adverb en is separated from its verb edýseto by the phrase d'autòs "and he himself." Tmesis is rare and archaic in modern English, as in "Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words" (that is, "Beware of him, yourself…"), 2 Timothy 4:15, Authorized Version. More than a few of us may admit familiarity with tmesis as it occurs in such adjectives as fantastic or unbelievable or in adverbs like absolutely, in which the fan-, un-, and abso- are separated from the rest of the word by an overworked vulgarism.
How is tmesis used?
You may remember Matt Foley, the in-your-face motivational speaker played by the late comedian Chris Farley on Saturday Night Live, whose "Well, la-dee-frickin'-da" was all the funnier for its tmesis. Rebecca Cohen, "How I Met Your Mother's 'Legen—Wait for it—Dary' Is More Compli-Freaking-Cated Than You Think," Slate, April 16, 2014
Tmesis ... means the insertion of one word into the middle of another word, as in abso-bloody-lutely or to-very-day. Most often we insert four-letter expletives, which cannot be printed in a newspaper but can only be suggested by substituting something like the British "bloody." Carl Strock, "Spirit Of Tmesis Lives To-Very-Day," Schenectady Gazette, February 4, 1989

Is An "Equinox" The Same As A "Solstice"?
orgulous
adjective [awr-gyuh-luhs, ‐guh‐]
haughty; proud.
What is the origin of orgulous?
The English adjective orgulous has about as many spelling variants in Middle English (orgeilus, orgeyllous, orguillous, etc.) as its Old French source (orguillus, orguilleus, orgueilleux, etc.). The base of the French word is a Germanic (Frankish) noun, cognate with Old English orgol, orgel "pride," and akin to the Old High German adjective urguol "outstanding." Shakespeare uses orgillous once, in Troilus and Cressida, but the adjective was obsolete by the mid-17th century, only to be resuscitated by Sir Walter Scott and Robert Southey in the first half of the 19th century.
How is orgulous used?
The princes orgulous, their high blood chafed / Have to the port of Athens sent their ships ... William Shakespeare, Troilus and Cressida, 1623
Ah, he is an orgulous man! Georgette Heyer, My Lord John, 1973
