 Have you heard about the dangers of heavy alcohol drinking and dementia?

Heavy alcohol drinkers are putting themselves at greater risk of developing dementia, particularly early-onset dementia, new research states.
A French nationwide study into the effects of alcohol abuse disorders in more than one million adults diagnosed with dementia between 2008 and 2013 found that heavy drinkers could be three times more likely to develop the condition.
It said that chronic drinking could lead to “permanent structural and functional brain damage”.
The scientists who looked at 57,000 cases of early-onset dementia (before the age of 65) found that 39 per cent were alcohol-related while 18 per cent of these people also had a diagnosis of “alcohol use disorders”.
Some 3 per cent of all dementia cases were associated with alcohol-related brain damage.
The World Health Organisation defines chronic heavy drinking as consuming more than 60g of pure alcohol per day for men and 40g for women. This equates to about six or more standard drinks for men and four for women.
The study, published in the Lancet Public Health Journal, found that between 2008-2016, 1.1 million of the total 31.6 million people discharged from hospital had been diagnosed with dementia.
Over that same time period, 945,512 people were diagnosed with alcohol use disorders, the vast majority of which suffered from alcohol dependency.
Dr Michaël Schwarzinger, who lead the research, said heavy drinking also increased the risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, atrial fibrillation and heart failure which in turn could lead to vascular dementia.
He added that smoking, depression and low educational attainment, which are also connected to chronic drinking, were also risk factors in developing dementia.
Dr Sara Imarisio, of Alzheimer’s Research UK, warned that even moderate drinkers were at risk of brain damage and said the French study had failed to reveal “the full extent of the link between alcohol use and dementia risk” as it only examined people admitted to hospital because of chronic drinking.

 How can veterans break the lies and myths they have been taught and find the truth?

What are the struggles that veterans face every day? What are the lies that we have been made to believe in? What is the truth and how do we find it? This is a brief account of my observations in regard to misconceptions that most veterans have to face. Each of these observations could be an entire entry, but maybe with a bit of brevity we can begin to share with our brothers and sisters, lighten hearts, heal souls, and do our part to save each other from physical and eternal death.
The struggle vets face in the civilian world is real, yet it often times seems almost too cartoonish for us. We see people wearing absurd clothing, with disgusting attitudes, and who are hell bent on spewing garbage from their mouths. We have felt compelled to share certain moments of anxiety, anger, fear, and loneliness, with people who have no understanding of what any of that means to us. I’ve personally been in a department store when an overwhelming feeling rushes over me and I reach for an M-4 that I no longer carry and scan for the nearest exit. I’ve been through the despair and feelings of disgrace as if I was lost with nowhere to retreat. I remember the tears streaking down my face with a 9mm in my hand, trying to figure it all out. I remember receiving those calls from families of my brothers who just couldn’t handle it any longer.
The myths we hear and accept as truth are above counting. We will be heroes and every one will respect us. Having military service will ensure employment in the civilian world. If we hold our ground and tackle everything that stands in front of us with violence and aggression it will solve any problem. If we have enough intestinal fortitude and will power we do not need help and if we ask for help we are soft. We are told that if anything should happen to us that the government will have our backs. We learned compassion is for the weak, mercy is unacceptable, and forgiveness is sin. These lies feed the monster in us. These lies told to us are created by a monster. Satan’s best lie is that he doesn’t exist and we fall victim to this lie every day. We believe we can conqueror worldly problems by ourselves, but we are so very wrong.
The truth is that our problems are all caused by deep seeded issues we can’t see, touch, or feel. These problems are caused by our actions in events that happened to us in the past. They affect our present and threaten our future. We have to admit our struggles (John 1:8-9) because God already knows our pain and He is waiting. So begin asking God to reveal the lies you have believed in and replace them with His truth. Breaking the lies and myths we were trained to believe in isn’t going to be easy or even possible if we do it alone. We have to get out our hip pocket manual, the Bible, and read it every day. We must pray (James 5:16) and talk to God for in Him is truth. We have to ask for forgiveness, patience, wisdom and His grace to heal our souls. We must ask Him to guide us on the narrow path to His love.
Now, I haven’t begun to even scratch the surface of how God’s word can help lead us to the truth, but I do hope that by providing these few, it will encourage you to grab your Bible and start digging. My fellow warriors of faith, when you find yourself lost, admit your struggle, target and nullify the lies and myths we have been taught and destroy them with the truth. The only truth we can rely on. God’s truth.

 Describe the rights that Sony has to Marvel characters.

Sony owns the movie rights to many more Marvel characters than just Spider-Man. It's not just Venom, either. In fact, Sony has the rights to over 900 characters from Marvel's catalog.
The issue of cinematic rights is always a headache when it comes to Marvel. It's true that most of Marvel's comic characters are gathered under the umbrella of Disney when it comes to movies. This is especially true now that Fox, who own the X-Men and Fantastic Four, has been acquired by the House of Mouse. Yet Disney, and by extension Marvel Studios, don't have the rights to every character. Due to Marvel Comics selling the movie rights for its characters years before the MCU began in 2008's Iron Man, Sony has gobbled up a lot of Marvel licensing. The studio isn't content on sitting on these characters either.
The news of Sony's huge Marvel catalog comes from a report by Variety. According to the publication, while Spider-Man and related characters like Venom are the jewels of Sony's collection, they're far from alone. There are nearly a thousand Marvel characters that Sony could make a movie about without any input from Marvel Studios. The upcoming Venom is the first step in Sony's plans to make their own Marvel Cinematic Universe, populated with their exclusive Marvel characters.
The specific Marvel characters that Sony has rights to isn't publicly known and (obviously) they're far too numerous to list. However, Sony is already at work with several Marvel projects, each of which give an idea of where Sony hopes to build in the future. A movie about Spider-Man villain Kraven the Hunter is in the works. So is a film about Morbius the Living Vampire starring Jared Leto. This isn't even to mention the long gestating Silver and Black movie, which would've starred two minor Spider-Man antagonists, that has since pivoted to become two solo films.
In all cases, Sony appears to be choosing Spider-Man related characters to headline movies. Kraven, Venom, Black Cat and Morbius all have a connection to Spidey in the comics. However for the movies, it seems like Sony is leaving Spider-Man out of it possibly due to their agreement with Marvel Studios to share Spider-Man. Yet with 900 characters to choose from, Sony probably has a few that have nothing to do with Peter Parker.
The critical and commercial success of Venom will likely determine how aggressively Sony continues to pursue its Marvel-related projects. It's nevertheless interesting that the studio has evidently such a large staple of characters to pull from to make movies. Even without using or recasting Spider-Man, Sony could conceivably build a cinematic universe of Marvel characters. It's not as exciting idea as the Marvel Cinematic Universe was when it first began, but it could be just as successful for Sony. Kraven the Hunter isn't a household name currently but neither was Tony Stark before the onset the MCU. Sony could popularize and reinvigorate their 900 Marvel comic characters just as the MCU did for Captain America, Black Panther and all the rest.

 What is the government's stance on marijuana legalization?

A frustrated Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wants police to “enforce the law” and criminally charge illegal marijuana dispensaries — even though weed legalization is looming.
“People are right now breaking the law,” Trudeau told the Star’s editorial board on Friday.
But the spread of storefront “dispensaries” — scores of which have popped up on Toronto streets this year — is clearly a concern to the prime minister.
“It’s a situation that is frustrating and I can understand people’s frustration on this,” Trudeau said.
“The promise we made around legalizing marijuana was done for two reasons … that I was very, very clear about: one, to better protect our kids from the easy access they have right now to marijuana; and, two, to remove the criminal elements that were profiting from marijuana,” he said.
That new regime will be unveiled next spring. The blueprint for the legislation is a report by former deputy prime minister Anne McLellan’s task force of medical and legal experts, which be released within days.
“So, I don’t know how much clearer we can be that we’re not legalizing marijuana to please recreational users,” he said.
While Trudeau said he had not yet pored over the McLellan panel’s report, he has clearly been thinking about the age limits for recreational marijuana use.
“It’s been highlighted many times that the effect of cannabis on the developing brain is particularly problematic,” the prime minister said.
“I’m not going to venture too much further into the science but I think there is a consensus that, yes, perhaps up until 21 or 25 it’s not as good as past that age. But I have a sense that the worst damage is in the 12-, 13-, 14-year-old range,” he said.
Trudeau emphasized Ottawa would “work hand in glove with the provinces,” which suggests there could be different age limits across the country.
Currently, marijuana is legal for medicinal purposes with a prescription from a medical doctor.
It can only be supplied by the 36 Health Canada-licensed producers and delivered by registered mail or homegrown in small amounts.
Storefront dispensaries that claim to be supplying medicinal marijuana are not federally licensed and are breaking the existing law.
Police, however, have been trying to do that in places like Toronto and Ottawa, with raids of dispensaries, but with middling effect.
Because the federal law will eventually be amended, some entrepreneurs appear willing to risk fines as a cost of doing business before outright legalization.

ECM (Edition of Contemporary Music) is an independent record label founded by Karl Egger, Manfred Eicher and Manfred Scheffner in Munich in 1969. While ECM is best known for jazz music, the label has released a variety of recordings, and ECM's artists often refuse to acknowledge boundaries between genres. ECM's motto is "the Most Beautiful Sound Next to Silence", taken from a 1971 review of ECM releases in "Coda", a Canadian jazz magazine.

 Explain how SingularityNET works.

Sophia, the humanoid robot, wants to crowdfund the development of advanced artificial intelligence through a token-based system where users can buy and sell services in a marketplace. SingularityNET, the project that will enable this exchange, announced Tuesday an upcoming token sale that will help Sophia expand her capabilities.
The company describes a “global brain” with multiple A.I. systems working together to complete tasks. Developers can create new A.I.s, and users can pay to take advantage of their services through blockchain payments similar to the technology behind Bitcoin. SingularityNET is working with Cindicator, a predictive intelligence for asset management, to grow their A.I. needs.
It’s a markedly different approach to A.I. development tha the likes of Google and Facebook, which have instead depended on creating systems that benefit their overall business model. For instance, Facebook revealed this week that it was using A.I. to identify when users are thinking of suicide.
That’s a feature that could have much wider-ranging social benefits, but it’s also one designed specifically with the needs of Facebook’s social network in mind as opposed to being built expressly for the general benefit of humanity — and, as Sophia would point out, the benefit of other sentiences.
Sophia herself, whose title these days is Hanson Robotics’ “Chief Humanoid Officer,” took to video to cut a promo for SingularityNET.
The company will start selling tokens on December 8 at noon Eastern time. The amount of tokens available during the crowdsale depends on how many are sold during the as-yet unfinalized private sales. When 500 million tokens are sold for the value of $36 million between the crowd and private sales, the overall sale will end.
Pre-registration will take place through the company’s whitelist page, where potential buyers can note their interest and set a contribution amount.
Read the abstract for the company’s whitepaper on its A.I. services marketplace below, which is available in full here.
The value and power of Artificial Intelligence is growing dramatically every year, and will soon dominate the internet – and the economy as a whole. However, AI tools today are fragmented by a closed development environment; most are developed by one company to perform one task, and there is no way to plug two tools together. SingularityNET aims to become the key protocol for networking AI and machine learning tools to form a coordinated Artificial General Intelligence.
SingularityNET is an open-source protocol and collection of smart contracts for a decentralized market of coordinated AI services. Within this framework, the benefits of AI become a global commons infrastructure for the benefit of all; anyone can access AI tech or become a stakeholder in its development. Anyone can add an AI/machine learning service to SingularityNET for use by the network, and receive network payment tokens in exchange.
SingularityNET is backed by the SingularityNET Foundation, which operates on a belief that the benefits of AI should not be dominated by any small set of powerful institutions, but shared by all. A key goal of SingularityNET is to ensure the technology is benevolent according to human standards, and the network is designed to incentivize and reward beneficial players.

 "What's up with Sanders' campaign trying to get into the employee dining rooms on the Strip?"

1 day 38 sec ago.
UPDATED, 4:15 PM: Culinary spokeswoman Bethany Khan says the situation "has been resolved." How so? I'm told the Sanders campaign has agreed not to try to enter the employee dining rooms again.
We are disappointed and offended. It's completely inappropriate for any campaign to attempt to mislead Culinary Union members, especially at their place of work. The Culinary Union button that hundreds of thousands of union members have proudly worn to work every day represents 80 years of struggle and fighting for justice. We strongly condemn anyone falsifying their affiliation with the Culinary Union in order to gain access to properties and we will cooperate with casinos and hotels so that this matter is fully resolved.
Operatives from Bernie Sanders' campaign have donned Culinary union pins and secured access to employee areas inside Strip hotels to try to garner votes for the Feb. 20 caucus, sources confirm.
Culinary officials have been made aware of the faux union workers at four hotels -- The Rio, Paris, The Mirage and Planet Hollywood. The Sanders campaigners are wearing the distinctive yellow Local 226 pins, implying they are union members, to gain access to employee dining rooms. Beyond the obvious deception, union officials surely also are concerned about the implication that the organization has endorsed Sanders despite its recent pledge to remain neutral until after the caucus.
"It's inappropriate for any campaign to attempt to mislead Culinary Union members, especially at their place of work," said Yvanna Cancela, Local 226's political director, who confirmed multiple reports at hotels. "As of yet, the union has not made an endorsement, but is focused on a major citizenship and voter registration campaign while preparing for contract negotiations."
The Sanders campaign has not responded to a couple of requests for comment.
The attempt to mislead hotel workers by the Sanders campaign is a measure of just how intense the competition between the Vermont senator and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has become, a microcosm of what is happening nationally five days before the Iowa balloting.
And the casino politicking is a reminder -- and an ironic one -- of how the Clintons made their way inside various Strip resorts to try to get to workers in 2008 after the Culinary endorsed Barack Obama. Clinton won that caucus, 51 percent to 45 petcent, but lost the delegate fight to Obama.
UPDATE, 11:15 AM: Assemblywoman Maggie Carlton, a longtime Culinary employee who endorsed Clinton on Thursday, said, "The employee dining hall is kind of our place. For people to abuse that is just wrong. I'm really disappointed."
Carlton added that anyone accessing the employee areas "is a security issue as well. I would be concerned."

 Please share a story about how you have used the instruction for making birthday crowns.

I made birthday crowns for my girls last year. I had intended for them to be a special birthday thing, that we got out only once a year, so they would be extra special. But, as these things go, the girls loved them, and they found a permanent home in our dress up basket. I had no idea how much the kids would love them. They are a regular feature around here.
I decided to make a bunch for an art fair coming up, and put together this tutorial while I was at it. I have to add, there are a million great tutorials out there for crowns. My version, as usual, just keeps it simple (I've left the elastic exposed), made use of what I keep on hand (sorry, not felt), and allows for fun use of trimmings. And the trimmings are the best part, right? I love dumping out my fabric and ribbons and sifting through to find just the right match for that funky ribbon, or finding a surprisingly lovely combination of fabrics. Ah, that's what sewing is all about.
Update: Be sure to check out the Nicholas Crown Project that this tutorial inspired! I'm giving away dress-up crowns! Come help me out!
1. Draw or print template, cut out. If you draw your own, the width should be about 9 inches.
2. Pin pattern to fabric and cut out fabric adding a 1/4" seam allowance all the way around. Cut 2 (I like to used different fabrics for the front and back).
3. Cut out interfacing and iron to the wrong side of your back fabric. Alternately, you can just cut a third layer of heavy weight fabric and put it in the middle of your sandwich - both work well.
4. Topstitch trimmings onto your front fabric. I used ribbon, bias tape, buttons, lace, and a handmade crocheted rose. The possibilities are endless.
5. Cut a 9" piece of 1/4"-1/2" elastic.
6. With right sides facing, sew around the edge of your crown. Leave openings on the bottom inch of both sides. You'll turn right side out through one of these holes, and later insert the elastic in each side.
7. Clip slits in seam allowance, especially in the corners. Turn right side out, poking out all the little points and curves with a chopstick/pencil thing. Iron sound that all the points are neat, and the openings have their edges neatly tucked in. Don't skip the ironing - it really helps.
8. Starting just after the opening on one side, top stitch around the crown. When you reach the opening on the opposite side, insert on end of the elastic (about 1/2"-1" from the base of the crown) and back stitch over it a few times. Continue topstitching around the crown, and repeat the elastic insertion with the other end. Be sure not to twist the elastic.
Feel free to sell items made from this pattern; however, if you do, please give credit to me as the designer.
I love this. I only have a son, but he has some friends at playgroup that are just going to love to have a couple int he dress up box. Thank you. I will try to make a plain one for him since he is such a Prince!
So cute and great idea! My niece has a b'day coming up, and she believes she is a princess, so this is perfect. Thank you.
We love your costumes! The tree costume, the kitty ears, and the colorful crowns are adorable! (http://wewilsons.blogspot.com/2010/09/tree-costume-tutorial.html) (http://wewilsons.blogspot.com/2010/09/cat-ears-tutorial.html) (http://wewilsons.blogspot.com/2011/01/dress-up-crown-tutorial.html) I’m writing from bulbinblue.com, a new, non-profit website for creative ideas and crafts. Bulbinblue.com provides a space for creative individuals to interact and share ideas, tips, and projects. We’d love to feature your tutorials (text and pictures) in our upcoming costume section. I understand that you may not want photos of your children on other sites, in which case, do you happen to have any photos of these projects we could use? If not, we would still love to work with the Dress-Up Crown tutorial! We would also like to translate your tutorial into French and German so that it can be accessible to an even wider audience! We will do all the work of putting the tutorial on the site and translating it, and you will be clearly indicated as the project’s author. If you are interested, please email us at blueteam@bulbinblue.com.
I really love these crowns! I have been wanting to do some myself for a long time, and now that my twins birthday is coming, I am preparing a couple inspired in these. I also really like your Nicholas Crown Project. Truly inspired and beautiful. I am sure you are going to make many kids happy! And should you need any collaboration to make them, please count on me. I would be so proud to lend a hand!
Thanks a lot for all your sharing. I am so happy I found your blog by chance!
I wanted to let you know that I found your blog post on making crowns and I made several for a special little girl who just turned 4 years old.
They were such fun to make and the little girl enjoyed them very much. She received a Bitty Baby for her birthday from her parents, so I made the doll a few crowns also. I took the simplest crown pattern and just made it smaller. So the girl and her doll have a few matching crowns.
Thank you so much for posting and sharing your patterns!!
Love these! I finally got around to making some! Thanks for a great tute!
Oh my gosh your crowns are perfect to go with our Everyday Princess dresses at www.chameleongirls.com. I can't wait to make a few.
Thank you for the templates and directions! My little one had a tiara that she loved, but it broke. I am going to make her some of these. I know she will love them!

Ubuntu is a great Linux distribution, but understandably, the GNOME desktop environment isn't for everyone. Thankfully, there are many flavors of the operating system with alternative DEs, such as Xubuntu with XFCe and Kubuntu with KDE. Ultimately, with so much choice, you should have no problem finding a version of Ubuntu that best meets your needs and wants.
One popular Ubuntu flavor is Lubuntu. If you aren't familiar, it uses the lightweight LXDE desktop environment which makes it a good choice for older hardware. In fact, one of the focuses of the Lubuntu developers is to support aging computers. When Lubunu 18.10 is released in October 2018, it will ditch LXDE for the newer LXQt. Despite it also being a desktop environment that is easy on resources, the Lubuntu developers are planning to drop their focus on old hardware after the transition.
"Creating a Linux distribution which is specifically meant for older hardware is beginning to become a challenge. As time progresses, the definition of 'older machines' has been changing. At one point, our rule of thumb was to support machines ten years old. If you look at computers that were released ten years ago, for example, a computer with the AMD Phenom X3 processor, you will note that computers, give or take, supported two gigabytes of RAM and two processor cores, and were also 64-bit at this time," says Simon Quigley, Lubuntu Team.
Quigley further says, "These statistics brought much internal debate within the Lubuntu team, but we decided that going forward, we need to adapt for the current state of the market. Therefore, our main focus is shifting from providing a distribution for old hardware to a functional yet modular distribution focused on getting out of the way and letting users use their computer. In essence, this is leveraging something we have always done with Lubuntu; providing an operating system which users can use to revive their old computers, but bringing this to the age of modern computing."
Lubuntu shares its new core goals below.
While this will undoubtedly upset some folks, it is time to face facts -- with computers being so inexpensive these days, there is less of a need to refurbish and hold onto ancient machines. It used to be a new PC would cost thousands. These days, a decent general-use laptop can be had for a few hundred bucks.
If you still like the idea of re-purposing older computers, however, let us not forget that there is no shortage of Linux distributions out there. Lubuntu is just one operating system that focuses on older hardware. Puppy Linux, for instance, is another such great option.

 What did the Trump administration propose in regards to government restructuring?

The Trump administration on Thursday released a blueprint for a massive overhaul of the federal bureaucracy, one that if implemented would touch virtually every agency and the way all Americans receive government services.
Merging the Education and Labor departments.
Reorganizing safety-net programs into a Department of Health and Public Welfare.
Creating a governmentwide public-private partnership office to improve services to citizens, and stewardship of public resources.
Relocating more staff and offices outside the National Capital Region.
Dramatically shrinking the Office of Personnel Management.
Revamping the Army Corps of Engineers.
The plan, led by Mulvaney and based on the agency reorganization proposals he assigned governmentwide in April 2017, is also believed to be influenced by long-standing thinking among conservatives that welfare programs should be funded and managed together.
The notion of creating an Education and the Workforce Department out of the current Education and Labor departments would also deliver on Trump’s campaign promises to focus on jobs for the non-college-bound.
In addition, the plan scales back the Office of Personnel Management. It would move OPM’s security clearance functions fully to the Defense Department, transfer its human services functions to the General Services Administration and locate workforce policymaking at the White House.
Many of these moves would require approval by Congress. Such reorganizational authority was sought by President Obama first in 2012 and again in 2013; he had hoped to merge six agencies—Commerce, the Export-Import Bank and the Small Business Administration among them—into a Department of Business and Trade.
Mulvaney, when asked last year by Government Executive whether he had studied Obama’s plan, said he had not. Instead, the White House appears to be drawing from the playbook of House Republicans in the 1990s when they proposed merging Education and Labor.
Such a switch drew a thumbs-down from Joseph A. Califano Jr., who was President Carter’s Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare before it was renamed HHS when Education became its own department in 1980. “In putting food stamps with Congress’s agriculture committees, we thought they understood the benefits to farm states of the program—financially, to their families and farms—and would be more supportive of it than it would be if the program were viewed as just for poor people,” he told Government Executive last week.

 Explain what Show-Me Cannabis is and what it supports.

Show-Me Cannabis is an association of organizations and individuals who believe that cannabis prohibition is a failed policy, and regulating cannabis in a manner similar to alcohol would better control the production, distribution, and consumption of cannabis than the current criminal market system does.
We seek to engage Missourians in a serious, public discussion about the issues associated with the cannabis consumption, including medical cannabis, industrial hemp, public safety and financial analysis in order to address problems associated with the current, failed policy.
Show-Me Cannabis is supporting New Approach Missouri's medical marijuana initiative for the November 2016 ballot. It's time for patients with serious medical conditions to have access to the medicine they need!

 Describe the increase in aggression experienced by Iarnród Éireann staff.

Iarnród Éireann staff are encountering more and more aggressive behaviour and rowdiness from passengers, new figures have revealed.
Last month, RTÉ's This Week programme revealed anti-social behaviour incidents on the rail service between 2016 and 2017 had increased by almost 50% from 492 to 705.
Now figures for the first half of 2018 show staff have already reported a further 429 incidents. That is an increase of 22% from the first half of 2017 and almost as many incidents as occurred in all of 2016.
More than a quarter of the 429 incidents were reported as aggressive behaviour.
A number of my colleagues have been injured in the past. Those injuries have ranged from broken fingers to cracked ribs.
This increase in aggression is making life difficult for staff, according to Bryan Byrne of Iarnród Éireann's Revenue Protection Unit.
"A number of my colleagues have been injured in the past. Those injuries have ranged from broken fingers to cracked ribs," he said.
Mr Byrne himself recently suffered a knee injury after a passenger tried to force his way through the ticket barriers without paying.
The breakdown of incidents from January 2017 to the end of June 2018, released to RTÉ Investigates by Iarnród Éireann under Freedom of Information legislation, shows a pattern of aggression, boisterous behaviour and drug and alcohol-fuelled conduct which, according to the data, is at its worst in the evenings.
The highest proportion of cases recorded involved passengers behaving aggressively and consuming drugs and alcohol while on board Iarnród Éireann services. At 383, these offences accounted for over 50% of incidents in 2017. The pattern is repeated in the figures for the first half of 2018, with 264 such incidents reported already.
The type of offences committed on rail services varies by location. Incidents recorded on mainline services - the country's main intercity services - overwhelmingly stem from alcohol, while aggressive, anti-social and boisterous behaviour dominates on DART trains.
Incidents involving alcohol and drug taking are also prevalent on Limerick trains, with figures showing there have been 73 such cases since January 2017. This accounts for over half of the total incidents recorded on Limerick services.
The scale of the problem is such that staff reported twice as many incidents involving drugs and alcohol on Limerick trains as on the DART, despite a far higher number of anti-social behaviour incidents occurring on the DART overall.
The data shows there is a sharp increase in incidents recorded in the commuting window between 5pm and 8pm.
Of the 1,143 incidents recorded between January 2017 and the end of June 2018, 443 took place during this three-hour period – accounting for 40% of the total figure.
On Monday, National Bus and Rail Union Secretary Dermot O'Leary wrote to Minister for Transport Shane Ross following a serious assault at Connolly Station over the weekend during which a rail worker was allegedly struck with a bottle and left with a fractured wrist.
The NBRU said the incident showed the gravity of the situation and reiterated a call for the immediate introduction of a dedicated rail policing service to protect staff on duty.

 What did attendees discuss at the Scottish Renewables annual conference? Respond in 219 words.

Decarbonising the global energy industry and the “fourth industrial revolution” were two topics on the agenda at this week’s Scottish Renewables annual conference.
There is recognition that to combat climate change it is necessary to invest in low carbon technologies and innovation.
Ole Hoy Jakobsen, corporate actions engagement manager, The Climate Group, a global non-profit organisation, explained how it works with government and industry to drive a low carbon future.
Its RE100 programme involves some of the world’s largest companies working to scale-up demand for renewables.
Jakobsen gave the examples of Ikea which plans to put solar panels in all its stores in China and Apple which is working with the supply chain in that market to find the best ways to source renewable energy.
John MacArthur, vice president of Group CO2 at Shell, told conference delegates that the company is looking to thrive through the energy transition to low carbon and is committed to investing in green technologies and innovation.
This week Shell launched its ‘Sky’ scenario which will look at what it needs to do to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate.
In a session on the “technology revolution”, Andrew Kerr, executive director of the Edinburgh Centre for Carbon Innovation (ECCI), explained that energy innovations can also drive social change and create economic benefits.

 What do you know about euphony?

Euphony was borrowed from French at the beginning of the 17th century; the French word (euphonie) derives from the Late Latin euphonia, which in turn traces back to the Greek adjective euphōnos, meaning "sweet-voiced" or "musical." Euphōnos was formed by combining the prefix eu- ("good") and phōnē ("voice"). In addition to its more commonly recognized senses, euphony also has a more specific meaning in the field of linguistics, where it can refer to the preference for words that are easy to pronounce. This preference may be the cause of an observed trend of people altering the pronunciation of certain words—apparently in favor of sound combinations that are more fluid and simpler to say out loud.

 What has been the trend of tax incentives for businesses over the past few decades?

In June, Donald Trump traveled to Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, for the groundbreaking ceremony of the Taiwanese electronics company Foxconn’s new manufacturing plant—a 20 million-square-foot complex that state officials say will create 13,000 jobs for southeastern Wisconsin over the next 15 years.
By the time Trump visited the site, however, those claims were already in doubt. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, a Republican, had offered Foxconn CEO Terry Gou nearly $3 billion in tax credits and exemptions to move his company to the state. But Wisconsin won’t get any of that money back until 2042, only breaking even then—according to a report released by the state’s Legislative Fiscal Bureau last August—if Foxconn gives all 13,000 jobs to Wisconsin residents. Thus far, the company has only committed to 3,000. And it has reneged on these kinds of promises before. In 2013, the company said it would hire 500 workers and spend $30 million on a plant in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and then never built it.
Lavish, lousy incentive deals aren’t unusual. These packages rarely influence corporate executives; CEOs tend, instead, to look for good infrastructure and skilled labor when selecting a new location. According to research by Timothy Bartik at the W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research, tax incentives only change their minds between 2 and 25 percent of the time. When companies come to town, unemployment tends to stay where it was. Economic growth doesn’t ramp up. Big corporations nab about 90 percent of government incentive dollars, leaving small businesses almost nothing. And often, all that’s left is a big hole in the state budget.
This math is familiar—and yet, incentive packages have tripled since 1990. Thanks to blockbuster deals like Foxconn and the beauty pageant underway for Amazon’s second headquarters, which drew a whopping $7 billion bid from New Jersey and an offer from Fresno, California, to give Amazon joint control over where the city spends its tax dollars, incentive packages could double over the next five or ten years, reaching $100 billion annually, according to Bartik. Politicians, under pressure to show voters that they’re creating jobs, are increasingly reaching for the flashy choice: cutting checks to corporations that are all too happy to take them. And so far they haven’t faced a reckoning.
America’s first tax incentive package was in 1791, when New Jersey convinced Alexander Hamilton to move his manufacturing company to the state. These schemes wouldn’t become widely popular, however, until after World War II, when Southern states—hoping to transition their economies away from agriculture by luring manufacturers from the North—began offering companies tax breaks.
Despite all the evidence that these deals don’t work, they have remained popular with elected officials. It’s easy to strike them and even easier to claim political credit for them. “A company comes and they have a ribbon-cutting ceremony—that’s a way to show as an individual you are the deal maker,” said Nathan Jensen, co-author of Incentives to Pander: How Politicians Use Corporate Welfare for Political Gain. These deals often last years, even decades; the politicians who brokered them are usually safely out of office once the fiscal damage becomes apparent.
There are better ways to jump-start local economies. Aaron K. Chatterji of Duke’s Fuqua School of Business has proposed creating a Main Street Fund to support states that invest in choices that are smarter than incentives. Those could be seed money for startups, services to help businesses scale up, or a focus on attracting particular kinds of businesses, as Amy Liu of the Brookings Institution has suggested. But first, cities and states would have to cease offering big bucks to big business.
Ultimately, these deals aren’t just about corporations looking to get a windfall where they can. It’s politicians, too, who, through their desire for a quick and easy win, end up robbing their constituents of money that could be much better spent elsewhere.

 Explain the argument against single-payer health care in the U.S.

Yesterday brought the news that two influential Senators had hammered out a bipartisan agreement that would temporarily resolve Obamacare's newly-expanded 'cost-sharing' subsidies dispute. After President Trump ended his predecessor's illegal payments to insurers (ruled unconstitutional by the federal courts because the funds were never appropriated by Congress, as required), industry experts warned that the move would force premiums and costs even higher, as carriers seek to mitigate even bigger financial losses than the ones that have already driven providers out of marketplaces from coast to coast. The Alexander-Murray compromise would legally allocate those bailout-style funds for two years, in exchange for very minor concessions from Democrats regarding state flexibility and catastrophic plans. Trump appeared initially supportive of the deal but has walked that back a bit -- as Paul Ryan signals that the proposed trade-offs are woefully insufficient to attract House Republican support. The fate of the whole "fix" push, therefore, remains murky.
The NHS will ban patients from surgery indefinitely unless they lose weight or quit smoking, under controversial plans drawn up in Hertfordshire. The restrictions - thought to be the most extreme yet to be introduced by health services - immediately came under attack from the Royal College of Surgeons. Its vice president called for an “urgent rethink” of policies which he said were “discriminatory” and went against the fundamental principles of the NHS. In recent years, a number of areas have introduced delays for such patients - with some told operations will be put back for months, during which time they are expected to try to lose weight or stop smoking.
Employees at the VA Nebraska-Western Iowa Health Care System kept an unauthorized, off-the-books waiting list for some Omaha mental health appointments, according to documents obtained by The World-Herald. The secret list dodged requirements the Department of Veterans Affairs issued in July 2016 setting strict rules for establishing and maintaining waiting lists, according to a memo from the system’s compliance officer to Director Don Burman dated Aug. 11. The compliance officer’s audit included two whistleblower complaints made about lists for appointments at the VA’s mental health psychotherapy clinic in Omaha...Local VA officials would not say how many local veterans were impacted, or why or by whom the lists were kept. Nor would they say how many employees were involved or what disciplinary action was taken against them. The unauthorized waiting list echoed a nationwide scandal that erupted in 2014 at the VA Medical Center in Phoenix, which showed that veterans there were dying while waiting months for medical care on lists that were kept secret.
More government and more spending will never alleviate these issues, especially because government supremacist politicians have a vested ideological interest in downplaying government failures. The truth is that centralized government is generally just a really lousy vehicle for doing most big things with even a modicum of competence, responsiveness and accountability. Single-Payer supporters want to import the NHS' dysfunction and the VA's failures to every American while ripping 150 million workers off of their existing coverage and hiking taxes across the board. And the people who insist otherwise are the same characters who misled and lied about Obamacare every step of the way.

If you’re looking for something easy and nearby, head to any one of these wonderful places. But, when you want to get away you’ll want to put in a little more effort. But, as with all things the effort is worth it to experience what feels like your own private island in Maine.
There's a reason that MSN recently named Sand Beach in Acadia National Park on their list of favorite hidden beaches in America.
The 300 yards of pristine sand can be found nestled between the Maine coastal hills and the rocky coast that the state is known for.
The beach itself is made of tiny shells crushed into sand particles by the ongoing, rough surf.
Because the beach is in a small cove you can only see what's directly in front, making it seem as though you're millions of miles away on your very own island.
But, despite feeling private, getting here is quite easy.
Sand Beach has its own parking area. Take the Park Loop Road when you come into Acadia and follow it to the designated Sand Beach Parking Area. If you park in another area of the park, the Island Explorer Shuttle Bus stops every half hour during the season and can take you directly to the beach.
Sand Beach is also a great starting point for exploration in Acadia.
You can hike the Ocean Path by taking the trail located at the end of the upper parking lot.
The route follows the coast for 3 miles and visits some of the most well-known spots — Otter Point, Otter Cliff, and Thunder Hole.
You can also take the Great Head Trail, a hiking trail adjacent to the beach that heads in a loop around the nearby headland.
Sand Beach is a perfect example of Maine's hidden, coastal secrets.
Once you’ve experienced Sand Beach, stay in Acadia and make your way to Little Hunters Beach. It’s just as secret and just as gorgeous.

 Explain the differences in campaign funding and strategies between Rep. Francis Rooney and his Democratic challenger, David Holden, in the U.S. House race for Florida's 19th Congressional District.

U.S. Rep. Francis Rooney’s re-election campaign hasn’t garnered too much attention this year, despite the narrative that a ‘blue wave’ on the national level could lead to Democrats retaking control of the House.
Maybe that’s because he was re-elected in Florida’s 19th Congressional District with nearly two-thirds of the vote two years ago, or maybe it’s because the Republican candidate in every statewide race in the past decade has carried the district by double digits.
None of that is surprising for the Lee and Collier-based seat. After all, there are nearly 100,000 more Republican voters than Democratic ones in CD 19.
But the long odds haven’t crushed Democratic nominee David Holden’s hopes of flipping the district.
In a Wednesday press release, his campaign touted a new online poll conducted by Change Research showing him trailing Rooney by a single point and calling on the incumbent to join him in a public debate.
Holden’s campaign didn’t include the full results of the Change Research poll, though they noted that it had a sample size of 468 registered voters in the district with a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percent.
After the publication of this story, Holden’s campaign clarified that the 1-point gap was achieved “after people were informed of Frances Rooney’s record and David Holden’s plans and positions.” Without a primer on their positions, Rooney led 51-42 percent.
The campaign also noted that Change Research was the only pollster to show Democratic gubernatorial nominee Andrew Gillum in the lead ahead of the Aug. 28 primary election. That much is true — an Aug. 20 poll from the outfit showed the Tallahassee Mayor with 33 percent support among primary voters, not far off from the 34 percent vote share he received three weeks ago.
As of Aug. 8, Rooney had about $208,000 in his re-election account compared to $49,000 banked for Holden.
If the race is truly close, however, Rooney could whip out his checkbook and rocket into the lead. Many estimate his net worth to be in the hundreds of millions if not over $1 billion, and he dumped $3.6 million into his 2016 campaign to succeed former U.S. Rep. Curt Clawson.

 Describe the process of modernizing the Video DownloadHelper XUL add-on to make it compatible with multiprocess Firefox (e10s).

Today’s post comes from Michel Gutierrez (mig), the developer of Video DownloadHelper, among other add-ons. He shares his story about the process of modernizing his XUL add-on to make it compatible with multiprocess Firefox (e10s).
Video DownloadHelper (VDH) is an add-on that extracts videos and image files from the Internet and saves them to your hard drive. As you surf the Web, VDH will show you a menu of download options when it detects something it can save for you.
It was first released in July 2006, when Firefox was on version 1.5. At the time, both the main add-on code and DOM window content were running in the same process. This was helpful because video URLs could easily be extracted from the window content by the add-on. The Smart Naming feature was also able to extract video names from the Web page.
When multiprocess Firefox architecture was first discussed, it was immediately clear that VDH needed a full rewrite with a brand new architecture. In multiprocess Firefox, DOM content for webpages run in a separate process, which means required asynchronous communication with the add-on code would increase significantly. It wasn’t possible to simply make adaptations to the existing code and architecture because it would make the code hard to read and unmaintainable.
Preferences needed to be available in the content process, as there are many adjustable parameters that affect the user interface.
Localization of HTML pages within the content script should be as easy as possible.
In VDH, the choice was made to handle all of these requirements using the same Client-Server architecture commonly used in regular Web applications: the components that have access to the preferences, localization, and data storage APIs (running in the main process) serve this data to the UI components and the components injected into the page (running in the content process), through the messaging API provided by the SDK.
Migrating to the SDK enabled us to become compatible with multiprocess Firefox, but it wasn’t a perfect solution. Low-level SDK APIs, which aren’t guaranteed to work with e10s or stay compatible with future versions of Firefox, were required to implement anything more than simple features. Also, an increased amount of communication between processes is required even for seemingly simple interactions.
Resizing content panels can only occur in the background process, but only the content process knows what the dimensions should be. This gets more complicated when the size dynamically changes or depends on various parameters.
Critical features like monitoring network traffic or launching external programs in VDH requires low-level APIs.
Capturing tab thumbnails from the Add-on SDK API does not work in e10s mode. This feature had to be reimplemented in the add-on using a framescript.
When intercepting network responses, the Add-on SDK does not decode compressed responses.
The SDK provides no easy means to determine if e10s is enabled or not, which would be useful as long as glitches remain where the add-on has to act differently.
Regardless of the limitations posed, making VDH compatible to multiprocess Firefox was a great success. Taking the time to rewrite the add-on also improved the general architecture and prepared it for changes needed for WebExtensions. The first e10s-compatible version of VDH is version 5.0.1 and had been available since March 2015.
Looking forward, the next big challenge is making VDH compatible with WebExtensions. We considered migrating directly to WebExtensions, but the legacy and low-level SDK APIs used in VDH could not be replaced at the time without compromising the add-on’s features.
To fully complete the transition to WebExtensions, additional APIs may need to be created. As an extension developer we’ve found it helpful to work with Mozilla to define those APIs, and design them in a way that is general enough for them to be useful in many other types of add-ons.
A note from the add-ons team: resources for migrating your add-ons to WebExtensions can be found here.

 Please explain Qtum, a hybrid of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Respond in 23 sentences.

Qtum is often called as a “hybrid of Bitcoin and Ethereum”. An open-source blockchain and cryptocurrency project led by The Qtum Foundation. A wide selection of developers, blockchain and internet professionals make up the team, including Neil Mahi and Jordan Earls, both multiyear veterans in the cryptocurrency/blockchain space.
The idea of Qtum is built upon pulling together the most successful and reliable blockchain technologies to build a network for real-world business applications. Qtum takes concepts and established code from blockchains, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, and merges them together to create a better all-around package hence called a hybrid of both.
The project hopes to facilitate the creation and execution of Smart Contracts for businesses.To do this, the Qtum Blockchain connects Ethereum’s Smart Contracts over the Bitcoin chain using a “proof-of-stake”.This allows an interaction between the Ethereum Blockchain and the Bitcoin Blockchain.Thus Ethereum contracts can be easily transferred to Qtum.
It should be noted that the project, although open to all, is more specifically aimed at businesses.
To understand the ambitions of this project, we must first clarify that according to its developers, the Ethereum chain in the current state, still has stability gaps and impossibilities of interaction with Bitcoin.And that, on the other hand, Bitcoin, while being the most stable Blockchain, can not offer smart deals.
That’s why Qtum wants to be the bridge between the two cryptocurrencies. It would thus provide the best of both technologies: an Ethereum type of programming facility, combined with the security of the Bitcoin Blockchain.
It will also enable the rapid construction of decentralized applications and will offer other uses for businesses.
Virtual Machine (EVM), it merges the reliability of Bitcoin’s unfailing blockchain with the endless possibilities provided by smart contracts.
Strong Knowledge and Background: The team members have experience from huge and successful companies like Alibaba, Baidu, NASDAQ and so on. They have billionaire angel investors, executives from some of China’s largest technology companies and traditional Venture Capitalists.
Qtum’s Mobile Push: They are looking to push mobile blockchain development to new levels and its use of Bitcoin’s UTXO, which will allow smart contracts to be executed from light wallets (nodes not syncing the entire blockchain) on mobile devices. The dApps are readying for the mobile age.
Qtum’s Commitment to Transparency: This is a model project when it comes to transparency and regular updates. On their Medium blog, they provide weekly community and development updates.
Qtum is a serious and ambitious cryptocurrency. Some think that this is the next big startup of the Blockchain system and should and will definitely arrive at a multi-billion dollar market capitalization soon.So it is certainly a currency to follow closely.
Do tell us what you feel about the project and what are your predictions for 2018 in the comment box below. We will love to hear from you.

 Describe the game "Defender's Quest".

Defender's Quest is a Tower-Defense/RPG Hybrid that focuses on tactical depth, customization, and story. That means no random encounters, no spikey-haired emo kids, no forced time sinks, and no tedious, repetitive battles.
The battle system builds off of tower defense, with individual characters taking the place of towers. Each character levels-up, learns skills, and equips gear individually, allowing the player to customize their battle experience and strategy. The overall game structure is similar to 'tactical' RPG's, but with a real-time battle system. Game speed is adjustable, and commands can even be issued while the game is paused.
It also features an engaging, character-driven story written by an actual English major! The story strives to be fast-paced, snappy, and always relevant to gameplay with minimal exposition.

 It's a shame that The Last Supper will disappear more each day and with each visitor's microscopic dust.

This will longer disappear due to your microscopic dust.
Well, isn’t it a pleasure to hear that Eataly, that fine purveyor of Italian cheese, charcuterie, and foodstuffs, is working to save one of the world’s masterpieces of artistic expression.
Perhaps you didn’t know, but The Last Supper—Leonardo da Vinci’s 29-foot-by-15-foot depiction of Jesus Christ and his disciples, maybe the most famous painting on the planet—is deteriorating rapidly, mostly due to the factors of time, humidity, wartime bombs, and the fact that it was once housed in a prison. Like Michelangelo’s David, with its fragile ankles, it may, or perhaps will, one day be destroyed beyond repair.
That is, unless a super-successful chain of upscale Italian grocery stores fronted in part by Mario Batali comes in and saves the day, which is, according to a press release, actually happening. Starting in 2019, The Last Supper will be protected by an “advanced air filtration system” backed by Eataly that will extend the life of the work for 500 years.
To save this important piece of Italian heritage, the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism designed an air-filtration system in collaboration with top Italian research institutes (ISCR, CNR, Polytechnic Institute of Milan, and the University of Milano Bicocca). The cutting-edge system will filter in approximately 10,000 cubic meters of clean air into the convent every day (compared to the current 3,500 cubic meters), breathing five centuries of life into The Last Supper and allowing many more visitors to admire it.
No longer will The Last Supper “disappear more each day and with each visitor’s microscopic dust.” Next time you grab a porchetta sandwich at Eataly remember that that pig died to protect an Italian masterwork.

 What do you know about Gigabyte UD PRO SSDs?

When you think SSDs there are some big names that come to mind such as Samsung, Crucial, Patriot and Kingston. These companies have been doing storage for many years because, that is what they do. Gigabyte on the other hand is not a primary memory manufacturer but has built storage solutions in the past including the popular overclocking tool the Gigabyte i-RAM. Granted it was a hardware based ramdisk but still, notably fast.
In this review I’ll be looking at a new SSD from Gigabyte called the UD PRO. This drive is a standard SATA 6 drive and is available in two sizes, 256GB and 512GB. You’ll be spending about $120USD for the 512GB model and around $69USD for the smaller one.
3D TLC NAND Flash offers blazing speed, high capacity & enhanced reliability.
External DDR3L DRAM Cache for Better Sustain Speed.
3D NAND is the hot thing in SSDs allowing vendors to create larger drives using fewer chips and thus saving money all around. We have seen drives that use an external cache before as these help to increase performance without the need to reserve storage space to be the dedicated cache. Not to mention limiting excessive wear on the storage NAND.
Having a SSD die is not how any one wants to spend their weekend but if you do run into drive problems a good warranty can help. Gigabyte is offering a 3 year limited warranty on their UD PRO SSDs which would cover up to 200TBW (Terabytes Written) and should easily cover normal usage during the warranty period.
