President Jose Mujica says he has received a million-dollar offer to buy his blue 1987 Volkswagen Beetle, which has become a symbol of the Uruguayan leader’s austere lifestyle.
The man once nicknamed “the poorest president in the world” told the Uruguayan weekly Busqueda that an Arab Sheikh offered $1 million for the humble car. When asked about the reported offer at a news conference, Mujica said: “That’s what they said to me, but I didn’t give it any importance.”

In an informal chat, Mexico’s ambassador to Uruguay recently suggested to Mujica that he auction the Beetle in Mexico and predicted he could get 10 four-wheel-drive trucks for it, according to a spokesman for the Mexican Embassy who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk with the press.

Mujica, a former leftist Tupamaro guerrilla leader, said that if got $1 million for the car, he would donate the money to a program he supports that gives housing to the homeless. If he got trucks for it, he said, they could go to Uruguay’s public health office or his campaign workers.
The president said he would gladly auction the Beetle because he has “no commitment to cars” and he joked that he didn’t sell it because of his dog Manuela, famous for only having three legs.
Asked why someone would pay a fortune for his little car, Mujica said: “Human beings have a bit of fetishism; we need certain material symbols.” He noted that he keeps a hammer and shovel that belonged to his father. “They are little things to the world, but are worth a lot to you.”
Mujica gained world renown when he assumed Uruguay’s presidency in 2010 and declared that his entire wealth amounted to the 1987 Beetle. The ramshackle farm he lives on was in his wife’s name.
Since then, in his official declarations of wealth, he has included the farm and he has been earning about $11,000 a month as president, of which he donates 20 percent to his political movement. Earlier this year he put his total wealth at $322,883, with the flower farm reportedly worth $108,000

Charles Rennie Mackintosh 'DS3' Chairs
Elegant chairs from a celebrated pioneer of modern design.
By the end of the 19th century Glasgow School of Art was one of the leading art academies in Europe and its reputation in architecture and the decorative arts had reached an all time high. At the very heart of this success was a talented young artist, architect and designer, Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
While Mackintosh unfortunately died in relative obscurity his work has since been recognised as one of the driving forces behind a new approach to modern architecture and design. Today he is celebrated as father of the 'Glasgow Style' and his furniture designs have been reissued by a number of contemporary furniture makers.
These elegant ‘DS3’ chairs were designed by Mackintosh in 1918 and feature many of hallmarks of his work; clean lines, decorative geometric elements and a refined elegance. They have a handwoven rush seat and inset mother of pearl detailing to the backrest.

Meet Melanie, a very cute 3-months old collie mix puppy. She’s really a big fluffball of energy- it’s hard to believe how so much of it is packed into a small body!
Despite her energy level, Melanie is very food motivated and eager to learn new things. She already mastered ‘sit’ and would love to learn more tricks. She loves toys and gets along well with other dogs (she resides with her sister Mitzi).
If you are interested in this cutiepie, please come visit her in Kennel P5. For more information on Melanie, please contact firstname.lastname@example.org or leave a comment below.

Bazinga! New species of bee named after The Big Bang Theory's Sheldon Cooper
The physicist - played by Jim Parsons - and his iconic catchphrase have inspired the name of the "Euglossa bazinga" species of Brazilian orchid bee
The Big Bang Theory physicist Sheldon Cooper has made further inroads into the world of science - but, in this case, it's the field of biology which has recognised his intellect. The nerdy TV character's iconic catch phrase - "Bazinga!" (used to announce he's pulled a trick on someone) - has inspired the name of a new species of bee, discovered by Brazilian biologist Andre Nemesio at the Universidade Federal de Uberlandia.
Previously mistaken for the Euglossa ignita species, and thus characterised by its ability to trick scientists, the "Euglossa bazinga" was named in a nod to Sheldon's famous utterance.
Nemesio explained he had named the Brazilian orchid bee in honour of, "the clever, funny 'nerd' character Sheldon Cooper." His paper was published last month in Zootaxa - a journal for worldwide zoological taxonomists.
In response to the recognition, one of The Big Bang Theory's executive producers, Steven Molaro, said the show is "always extremely flattered when the science community embraces our show.
"Sheldon would be honoured to know that Euglossa bazinga was inspired by him. In fact, after 'Mothra' and griffins, bees are his third-favourite flying creatures."
But Sheldon - played by Emmy Award-winning actor Jim Parsons - is not the first famous face to inspire scientists. Veteran TV naturalist David Attenborough has had several species named after him, including the "Prethopalpus attenboroughi" - a spider species christened last year to honour his long television career.
Hollywood actress Kate Winslet has a beetle - "Agra katewinsletae" - named after her, as does Adolf Hitler (the "Anophthalmus hitleri"). You may also come across Beyoncé's horsefly, the "Scaptia beyonceae", John Cleese's lemur ("Avahi cleesei") and, hilariously, Hugh Hefner's rabbit - the "Sylvilagus palustris hefneri".
Anyway... in celebration of his latest honour, here's every recorded use of Sheldon's "bazinga" catchphrase from series 1-4. Enjoy.

Re: 24V Panel Charging 12V System
Welcome to the forum. The specs read that the Imp is about 4 Amps, a little low for the 'recommended' minimum 5% charge rate on a Flooded, SLA group 24 battery. You will need to invest into a MPPT controller to bump up the Current for 12V charging. I know you have your reasons for going with a flexible panel, but for about the same money you could have gotten a Kyocera 7.5 Amp, 135W panel at 12V (the Kyocera would essentially provide twice the Current while allowing for a less expensive controller).
About the HQRP charge controller you describe, I started out with that product, and it would not charge my 12V 75AH marine battery higher than 12.7 (80W panel). After replacing it with a MorningStar SunSaver 10A CC, my Group 24 battery is now maintained at 14.1 V

Garbage from massive party closes popular Wash. recreation area
PULLMAN, Wash. – A popular recreation area along the Snake River near Pullman will not be open for Labor Day because it was trashed last weekend by hard-partying visitors.
The Corps of Engineers closed the Illia Dunes after more than 3,000 visitors left broken bottles and beer cans on the beach and littered parking lots with trash, creating health and safety hazards.
The corps says it doesn't have the resources for such a big cleanup job if visitors can't pick up after themselves.
The Tri-City Herald reports the dunes are a popular recreation site with sandy beaches on the south shore of the Snake River about three miles downstream of Lower Granite Lock and Dam.

York City Knights have confirmed that captain Chris Clarkson has signed a new deal with the club for the 2022 Betfred Championship season.
Back-rower Clarkson joined the Knights ahead of the 2020 campaign and will go into his third season with York having made 28 appearances to date.
The former England Knights international is a two-time Betfred Super League winner with Leeds whilst also having lifted the Betfred Challenge Cup and World Club Challenge with the Rhinos. He has also previously represented Widnes Vikings, Hull Kingston Rovers and Castleford Tigers.
Clarkson said: “It was always something that I wanted to do, to go round again, and to put right what went wrong in 2021.
“Last year, we underachieved a little bit and it’s difficult and frustrating for players when we’re not succeeding. The coaching staff have adjusted some things for 2022 and, hopefully, our ambitions can come to fruition next year and I’m glad to be a part of that.
“I’ve not had much chance to build a relationship with the fans because of what’s gone on in the last couple of years but, to the back end of the season, they were great.
“Their appreciation for hard work shows and in the game against London, their enthusiasm to create a great atmosphere, it was really appreciated by the lads.”
York City Knights Head Coach James Ford added: “Chris is a very important re-signing for us.
“He works tremendously hard in attack and defence and has epitomised our team first mentality by playing in numerous positions without a second’s doubt to how it would impact on him.
“I enjoyed working with Chris and his abilities and characteristics will be absolutely key next season.”

Markets traded range-bound with a positive bias this Wednesday as anxious investors awaited the outcome of the US Federal Open Market Committee meeting that concludes later today.
The Federal Open Market Committee will end its two-day policy meeting today, with the outcome expected at around mid-night.
Market participants are waiting for any cues on tapering of third-round of bond-buying programme popularly known as ‘quantitative easing’ after Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said asset purchases could be scaled back should the U.S. employment outlook show “sustainable improvement.”
“While the Fed Chairman may attempt to give more clarity about tapering off QE3, it will be difficult to reduce market uncertainty because there does not seem to be a consensus in the FOMC on an explicit criterion for stopping or tapering QE3,” a note from Rabobank Financial Markets Research showed.
Asian stocks traded mixed amid looming uncertainty over the Federal Reserve’s bond-buying plans.
Globally, the Nikkei rose 2% to 13,245, Singapore Straits Times declined 0.4% to 3,216, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng declined 1% to 20,986 while China’s Shanghai Composite index was down 0.7% at 2,143.
The European markets traded lower today. France’s CAC declined 0.6% to 3,837, Germany’s DAX fell 0.4% to 8,196 while UK’s FTSE was down 0.5% to 6,341.
Back home, the key sectoral gainers included counters such as metal, realty, banks while PSU, IT, autos and power indices dropped on the BSE.
The gainers included counters such as Tata Steel and Jindal Steel rose nearly 2.5%, Bharti Airtel gained 2%, Hindalco and Sterlite Industries added over 2%, HDFC and HDFC Bank were up 0.7% each on the BSE.
The laggards included names like NTPC falling 1.8%, ONGC declined 1.6%, Tata Motors dropped 1.5%, Dr Reddy’s was down 1.2% while TCS and Infosys shed 1% each on the BSE.
The key notable movers included counters such Tata Teleservices (Maharashtra) or TTML is locked in upper circuit of 10% at Rs 6.64 after the company said its board propose to issue bonus shares to public shareholders to meet the minimum public shareholding requirement.
Shares of frontline non-banking finance companies (NBFC’s) like Mahindra and Mahindra Financial Services, Bajaj Finserv, Reliance Capital, L&T Finance Holdings have rallied up to 8% in anticipation of getting banking licenses.
The broader markets traded positively with mid-caps and small-caps rising 0.3 per cent each on the BSE.
The market breadth was positive. Out of 2,323 stocks traded so far, 1,117 stocks advanced while 1,064 declined on the BSE.

"Once every 5 or 10 years, a new comic feature emerges that's truly unique, breaking the mold of the tired, formulaic pack that populates most of the comics page. Mike Du Jour is such a feature. The art alone is a joy to look at, bringing a smile to your face and making you linger on it. That alone makes it special in today's comic field, but coupled with Mike Lester's whimsical, unpredictable wit, MDJ is a daily must-read. Mike Lester is truly a master of comic art." —Wiley Miller, Non Sequitur

The 1980s was a truly classic period in comic strip history. The decade of spiked hair and shoulder pads introduced us to brilliantly off-the-wall The Far Side, the timeless antics of Calvin and Hobbes, and the sociopolitical brilliance of Bloom County. All of these strips were retired at the height of their popularity by their award-winning creators, and fans have hoped ever since to talk them back into syndication with heaps of fan mail and social media begging, all for naught. Until now. Berkeley Breathed has talked himSELF out of retirement after Donald Trump threw his hat into an overpopulated ring of hopefuls for the Republican presidential nomination. Inspired by Trump's promise to "make America great again," Breathed is making the comics page great again with Bloom County 2015. Bloom County’s Opus, Milo, Bill the Cat and all of the residents of Bloom House are back and they aren't wasting a minute mocking the Republican campaign's greatest bloviator and a renewed national ridiculousness. Bloom County is the tale of the residents of Bloom House, a boarding house run by the parents of worldly 10-year-old newspaper reporter Milo Bloom. Boarders include Opus, Steve, Bill the Cat, Portnoy, Oliver Wendell Jones and more. Together, these characters parodied presidential campaigns, the Parents Music Resource Center, labor unions, the war on drugs, and The Donald -- no one was off limits. After his 25-year hiatus, "Silliness suddenly seems safe now," said Breathed.

In partnership with NETL, researchers at Idaho National Laboratory (INL), Rutgers, Arizona State University, OLI Systems and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are developing new sensing methods of detecting rare earth elements (REEs) contained within America’s fossil energy resources using luminescent detection.
REEs include the lanthanide elements along with scandium and yttrium. These elements are used in a wide variety of strategic and economically vital industries such as energy, defense, medical technology and consumer electronics. With most existing REE supplies controlled by foreign countries, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and NETL have funded numerous research projects that will create a domestic REE supply chain using the nation’s historic energy resources.
INL sought to develop a new simple, sensitive and rapid approach for detecting REEs in any kind of carbon-based solid or liquid. This approach had to be applicable to diverse chemical and mineral matrices that will effectively detect REEs in aqueous solutions at less than one part per million (ppm) and distinguish it between multiple REEs co-occurring in the same sample.
Current detection methods have several limitations; analyses are expensive, time consuming and are usually conducted at a specialized materials testing laboratory. Yoshiko Fujita, Ph.D., INL’s principal investigator on this work, noted that multiple REEs can be rapidly detected simultaneously and distinguished from each other by luminescent detection of unique wavelengths.
Fujita and her team developed and applied their sensing technology based on the luminescence of lanthanides in fly ash resulting from combustion of Powder River Basin and Appalachian coals. The team determined that the approach also worked with pre-combustion resources from Pennsylvania, North Dakota, Virginia, Kentucky and Montana and expect that it will work with acid mine drainage.
The process relies on leaching of carbon-based materials with an acid and then reacting the leachate with a fluoride-containing reagent to produce stable mineral fluoride products that are excellent hosts for fluorescence. The resulting solids can be analyzed readily with a spectrometer and allows identification of individual elements.
Detection limits are highly dependent on the matrix, but even within the very complex matrix of carbon product leachates, some lanthanides present at single digit parts per billion levels in the leachates could be detected. Experiments to evaluate the kinetics of the leaching and precipitation steps were conducted with an eye toward determining whether this protocol could be accelerated to facilitate development of a field test used with low-cost light sources and detectors.
The extremely low solubility of the REE fluorides and their distinctive luminescence properties offer the potential for an elegant, rapid and accurate technique for detecting REE in a wide range of environmental sample types, potentially bringing to the market an entirely new methodology to screen for the presence and abundance of individual lanthanides in complex natural materials.
The researchers determined that fluoride precipitation allows luminescent REE detection in complex samples. This method has also been successful in detecting and distinguishing individual REEs. This could lead to an entirely new way in which REE sources are identified, analyzed and used as feedstock materials in bench or pilot-scale extraction, separation and recovery processing facilities. Furthermore, the generation of the fluoride precipitate to run this type of sensing is rapid , which lowers costs and barriers for widespread use.
Going forward, Fujita and the team are hoping to optimize the detection process to be faster and easier. They aim to pursue development of field testing kits using portable vials and syringe filters to detect REEs using a smartphone coupled with battery powered LED excitation light source.
“By developing easier and more reliable methods for detecting REEs for extraction from carbon-based samples, DOE-NETL is making the prospects of domestic REE production more attractive to the private industry,” said Charles Miller, project manager for NETL. “While more work is required to refine these detection methods, their applicability to samples across a wide geographic spectrum bodes well for developing a rapid, accurate and versatile detection system for REEs.”
NETL is a U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory that drives innovation and delivers technological solutions for an environmentally sustainable and prosperous energy future. By leveraging its world-class talent and research facilities, NETL is ensuring affordable, abundant and reliable energy that drives a robust economy and national security, while developing technologies to manage carbon across the full life cycle, enabling environmental sustainability for all Americans.

Myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle, and vascular inflammation, inflammation of all the blood vessels in the body, are conditions seen in post-COVID-19 patients, Dr. Nancy Sweitzer tells the Arizona Daily Wildcat. Blood clots unlike any she has seen before line entire blood vessels or clot in the arteries in the heart; several patients are coming in who’ve had COVID-19 three, four, even six weeks ago.
Wanda F Moore, co-chair of the Women’s Heart Health Education Committee and chair of the Minority Outreach Program, secured a grant from the Community Foundation of Southern Arizona to support the community education and outreach work of the Minority Outreach Program and Community Coalition for Heart Health Education.
While the campus has seen a spike in cases over the last few weeks, Friday’s positivity rate was down from last week, and no new students were admitted to isolation housing over the weekend.
Funded by the National Institutes of Health, the All of Us Research Program is a historic effort to collect and study data from at least 1 million people in the United States.
UArizona President Dr. Robert C. Robbins said the university expected to see an increase in COVID-19 cases, but it has become too much, necessitating a shelter-in-place recommendation similar to what the state faced in the spring.
Joining the University of Arizona Health Sciences in October, Dr. Geoffrey Rubin holds six U.S. patents for medical image analysis and is past chairman of radiology at Duke University School of Medicine.
Dr. Theresa Dr. Cullen, director of the Pima County Health Department, said the county, university and other partners are working together on a “layered approach” to COVID-19 mitigation.
The university will conduct 5,000 COVID-19 tests per week as part of continued efforts to slow the spread of the virus.

Up to 150 million Americans could be infected with the coronavirus, a Congresswoman confirmed Thursday as the national outbreak rose to over 1,700 cases and 41 deaths.
Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib confirmed earlier reports that Congress’ doctor Dr. Brian Monahan predicts between 70 to 150 million people in the United States could eventually be infected with the novel coronavirus.
The startling figures were revealed as many public spaces, airports, streets and highways became deserted of people and cars Thursday evening and panicked shoppers rushed to buy supplies.
Disney Parks and Capitol Hill were among the many places closed off to the public as Broadway also went dark.
Dr. Monahan’s prediction underscores how severe the outbreak could become in the U.S. as the White House continues to downplay the severity and asks the public to remain calm. He originally shared the information with a closed-door meeting of Senate senior staff on Tuesday when they were told they should prepare for the worst.
Congresswoman Tlaib questioned Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), about the prediction during a hearing of the House of Representatives with members of the president’s coronavirus task force on Thursday.
It could see 46 percent of the U.S. population infected with the virus at the upper end of the projection, as the country braces itself for further cases.
Even at the lower projected level of infection, the estimated rates combined with the current mortality rate for the coronavirus predicts 700,000 deaths for the country’s 327 million population.
By comparison German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned this week that up to 70 percent of her country’s population could get the virus.

Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib made the remarks about the comments from Dr. Monahan during a hearing of the House of Representatives with members of the president’s coronavirus task force, confirming earlier reports by US media outlets including Axios and NBC News.
Monahan’s original statement was made in a closed-door meeting Tuesday in which only staffers and not Senators were present.
‘Congress’s attending physician told the Senate that he expects between 70 to 150 million people to eventually contract the coronavirus in the United States,’ Tlaib said.
Asked by Tlaib whether he believed the projection was accurate, Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), told the hearing: ‘We really need to be careful with those kinds of predictions because that’s based on a model.’
He added that ‘all models are as good as the assumptions that you put into the model’ and that with containment and mitigation the upper end of the projection could be avoided.

About 80 percent of coronavirus cases are mild, and the overall mortality rate is around one percent, according to the latest estimate provided by Fauci to Congress on Wednesday.
At the low end of the projection this would mean about 700,000 deaths. At the high end it would mean 1.5 million deaths.
Heart disease was the leading cause of death for Americans in 2018, with just over 650,000 deaths in 2018. The flu and pneumonia caused around 60,000 deaths.
As of Thursday evening, there are more than 1,700 cases and 41 deaths in the United States.
Risk from coronavirus starts to increase for people who are over 60 and is heightened more for those over 80, as well as for people with conditions like diabetes, heart disease or lung disease, or whose immune systems are compromised.
According to Axios, Dr. Monahan said that 80% of people who contract the coronavirus will recover.

Fauci noted that a 2014 model by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) projected the African Ebola outbreak could affect more than a million people.
But this was eventually not the case and the final number was under 30,000.
Fauci also responded to a query about people having difficulty getting access to tests, for which US authorities have come under severe criticism.
‘The system is not really geared to what we need right now, what you are asking for. That is a failing,’ said Fauci.
‘Let’s admit it.
‘The idea of anybody getting it easily, the way people in other countries are doing it, we’re not set up for that. Do I think we should be? Yes, but we’re not.’
Last Friday leaked documents revealed US hospitals are preparing for 96 million coronavirus infections and nearly half a million deaths from the outbreak.
The spread of the deadly disease could be far worse than officials claim, with 480,000 Americans expected to die from the virus and 4.8 million hospitalized, according to a presentation hosted by The American Hospital Association (AHA) in February.
This puts the crisis on a level more than 10 times greater than that seen in a severe flu season.
Dr. James Lawler, a professor at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, presented the harrowing ‘best guess’ estimates of the extent of the outbreak to hospitals and health professionals as part of the AHA webinar called ‘What healthcare leaders need to know: Preparing for the COVID-19’ on February 26.
The slides, obtained by Business Insider, suggest that hospitals need to ramp up preparations now to reduce the death toll around the US.
At the time of the presentation, there were more than 80,000 confirmed cases around the globe.
At the time, the US had around 60 cases and no deaths. Fast forward just two weeks, and the US has more than 1,700 cases and 41 confirmed deaths.
Worldwide, more than 128,000 people have now been infected.

The comments from Tlaib came as a state of emergency was declared in New York City and a lock down was place don a suburb of Philadelphia as officials struggle to contain the virus.
New York’s roads and streets became increasingly more deserted on Thursday as Broadway was shut down and all large gatherings were suspended.
Areas normally flooded with tourists stood silent as panic shopping gripped the city.
The generally bustling Times Square was empty as increasing numbers of employees worked from home and others sheltered from the outbreak.
Panicked New Yorkers rushed to stock up on essentials forming long lines and clearing shelves of produce as Mayor Bill de Blasio declared a state of emergency in the city due the coronavirus outbreak.
He made the decision on Thursday afternoon saying the last 24 hours had been ‘very, very sobering’ and that the world had been turned ‘upside down’ in just a day.
The announcement immediately sparked furious panic shopping from New Yorkers as grocery stores across the city saw chaos and frantic stockpiling with residents fearing the worst.

De Blasio attempted to calm the panic, asking for a stop in the spread of misinformation and stating that Manhattan would not be quarantined.
‘NO, there is NO TRUTH to rumors about Manhattan being quarantined,’ he said in a tweet.
‘Whoever is spreading this misinformation, PLEASE STOP NOW!’
Concerned shoppers revealed that some stores were limiting the number of people allowed inside because of the need for distancing between customers and so lines waiting outside were becoming more extreme.

Washington D.C. became a ghost down as public tours were called off until the end of the month and even Disney revealed it was to close its gates.
Disneyland and California Adventure theme parks in Southern California will close from Saturday through the end of the month, the company said on Thursday.
No cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, have been reported at the parks in Anaheim, California, a company representative said in a statement.
Earlier on Thursday, California Governor Gavin Newsom had recommended against gatherings of more than 250 people to help contain the spread of coronavirus, which has killed more than three dozen people in the United States.
Disney decided to close both of its Southern California parks after reviewing Newsom’s guidelines ‘and in the best interest of our guests and employees,’ its statement said.
The Disney-run hotels in Anaheim will remain open through Monday to give guests time to make travel arrangements, the company said. Disney will pay its employees during the shutdown and refund payments for hotel bookings, it added.

Also on Thursday, Congress announced it is shutting the Capitol to the public until April in reaction to the spread of the coronavirus, a rare step that underscores the growing gravity with which the government is reacting to the viral outbreak.
In a statement, the House and Senate sergeants at arms said congressional office buildings and the Congressional Visitor Center, through which tourists enter the Capitol, were also being shuttered.
In an email to lawmakers’ offices, the sergeants at arms said the Capitol will be closed to all tours, including special ones led by House and Senate members and their aides.
No tours will be permitted in the Capitol Visitor Center, a massive three-level underground structure, which opened in 2008 and had greeted more than 21 million visitors through 2018.
Lawmakers’ offices will be required to meet any official visitors at building entrances, and they were asked to escort them out after the meetings.
Only lawmakers, staff, journalists and visitors with official business will be permitted to enter the buildings. The closures begin at 5 p.m. EDT Thursday, and the buildings are scheduled to reopen on April 1.
The officials said they were acting on the advice of District of Columbia health officials and of Congress’ own doctors.
Major League Baseball also delayed the start of its season by at least two weeks because of the coronavirus outbreak and suspended the rest of its spring training schedule.
Opening day had been scheduled for March 26. The decision announced by Commissioner Rob Manfred on Thursday left open whether each team would still play 162 games.
JFK terminal 1 on Thursday remained quiet ahead of the Europe travel ban
The ban will apply to travelers who have visited 26 countries in the EU’s Schengen border-free area
Airports also remained eerily empty as passengers voted against travel amid expectations of the Europe to United States travel ban that will come into force at midnight Friday.
Worried American citizens flooded to European airports on Wednesday night as President Trump announced the ban, desperate to make it home in case further restrictions were enforced or the outbreak worsened.
Chaos is unfolding in airports across the country where media members have been kicked out, travelers entering the US complain that they aren’t screened upon landing, and disgruntled Americans pay up to $20,000 to get a last minute ticket home.
The ban will apply to travelers who have visited 26 countries in the EU’s Schengen border-free area in the last 14 days, but not travelers from the UK or Ireland, or to US citizens, American permanent residents and their immediate family members.
Although Trump’s new measures won’t take effect until Friday at midnight, travelers are still in a frenzy over the confusing new rules.
International airports across the country have become eerie ghost towns with few travelers in light of the coronavirus panic.
Some American travelers have complained about a lack of safety procedures and caution at airports across the country.

What we know and what we DON’T about Donald Trump closing borders to Europeans
President Donald Trump unexpectedly announced a drastic ban on foreigners traveling to the United States from Europe in an effort to curb the deadly coronavirus from spreading, but his vague plan seemed to only heighten fears.
Americans in Europe rushed to airports late on Wednesday and early on Thursday morning in a desperate bid to get home, before confusion over who would be affected by the ban was cleared up.
While U.S. citizens and lawful residents will be allowed to return home, most foreigners from the 26 banned countries will be denied entry beginning on Friday.
Here, DailyMail.com details what we know – and more crucially what we don’t know.
WHO IS COVERED BY THE BAN?
Foreigners who are traveling directly from any of the 26 countries on Trump’s European ban list will not be admitted into the United States.
Foreigner means anyone coming from outside the U.S. and is not a U.S. citizen or doesn’t have a valid green card.
The countries include EU members France, Italy, Germany, Greece, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. See right for the full list.
It is unclear if passengers flying from a non-European destination will be asked when they were last in Europe.
Foreigners who are in the U.S. on a work visa or a tourist visa are likely going to barred from entering the U.S. if they visit a European country and try to re-enter the country.
WHO IS NOT COVERED BY THE BAN?
The restrictions don’t apply to U.S. citizens, legal U.S. permanent residents, meaning those with green cards, immediate family members of U.S. citizens or others ‘identified in the proclamation’ that was signed by Trump on Wednesday night.
It also doesn’t apply to foreigners with diplomatic, NATO, military or government visas. And for U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents who have a foreign child or are adopting a foreign child, according to NAFSA.
Americans who are currently in Europe will be allowed back in — though they will be subject to an ‘enhanced’ health screening and asked to self-quarantine for 14 days.
Trump did not mention any restrictions on Americans traveling to Europe and the ban will last for 30 days.
WHAT ABOUT FOREIGNERS COMING FROM OTHER COUNTRIES? WILL THEY BE ASKED IF THEY WENT TO BANNED DESTINATIONS?
It is unclear how airports will be screening for foreigners who have visited an European country and later traveled to another country that isn’t on the ban list.
For example, London’s Heathrow airport is a major travel hub for Europe and is exempt from the ban, meaning Europeans could possibly travel to London to fly out to the U.S.
Heathrow’s most popular destination is JFK in New York City.
Heathrow has a daily average total of 219,458 passengers, with 49.5 percent of those passengers classified as departures.
Around 94 percent of passengers who travel out of Heathrow are coming or going to international destinations.
Several international airlines also have designated layovers in cities worldwide, meaning passengers might be able to travel to Asia or other North American countries and bypass the ban if screening officials aren’t being thorough.
WHAT HAPPENS TO AMERICANS WHEN THEY TRAVEL FROM EUROPE?
Vice President Mike Pence said on Thursday that Americans returning from Europe ‘will be screened as they return through 13 separate airports.’
Currently, there are 11 airports that are designated to receive passengers who recently visited China or Iran, which had previous travel restrictions placed on them.
The airports in New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle, Dallas, Hawaii and Detroit could possibly be utilized to accept travelers from the European countries.
It was not mentioned if screening included testing for every passenger.
It is unclear how passengers are expected to self-quarantine when they still need to travel home from the airport, particularly if the airport they are routed through is not close to their final destination.
Trump on Thursday encouraged travelers to self-isolate after returning from Europe.
HOW EXACTLY ARE PEOPLE SCREENED FOR CORONAVIRUS?
In addition to the passenger being asked if they have visited any of the banned European countries, officials look for symptoms of the virus.
The most common symptoms include fever, dry cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing and fatigue.
To confirm if a passenger has coronavirus, a sample is collected for a diagnostic test for SARS-CoV-2, which is the strain of virus that leads to the respiratory disease.
Medical officials often take a sample by putting a swab up the nose. A swab can also be taken through the mouth if the person has a wet cough.
The samples are sent off to be tested by various health departments and clinical diagnostic laboratories. Results usually come back within 2-7 days.
In Cleveland, a clinic said a new in-house coronavirus test it developed would deliver results within eight hours.
WHO WILL ENFORCE THE BAN?
It is unclear who will be responsible for enforcing the ban.
International airlines could be tasked with denying boarding for European passport holders at the gate or at check-in.
Another option could see European passengers being turned away at the U.S. border if they somehow made it on a U.S-bound flight.
Additionally, it is unclear if the government will use federal resources to send additional officials to check passports and enforce the ban at airports.
CAN AIRPORTS EVEN TEST FOR CORONAVIRUS?
One of the main concerns over the spread of the virus has been over a shortage of testing kits available, as Vice President Mike Pence said passengers will be tested at one of the 13 airports upon arrival.
Airports and local clinics have repeatedly said they did not have supplies to test people who are concerned they have the virus.
It has been reported that fewer than 10,000 people have been tested in the U.S. compared to 20,000 per day in South Korea.
The CDC revealed on Tuesday that only 8,554 Americans had been tested for coronavirus, with the agency’s director saying state and local health labs are understaffed and ill-equipped to keep up with the crisis.
Health officials and Democrats have slammed the limited supply of tests, while some government officials claimed there was a surplus of testing kits, citing figures of 1.1 million tests at labs across the country and a million more on the way.
However during the coronavirus task force briefing, United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, Alex Azar, confessed that Americans will only be able to find out whether they have contracted COVID-19 if a doctor gives the go-ahead.
Despite a claimed 4 million more tests due to be delivered by the end of the week, Azar said: ‘There’s a false premise. Just because I as a person say I’d like to be tested for coronavirus, I can walk into a Minute Clinic and say ”give me my test please” – that’s not how diagnostic testing works in the United States or frankly anywhere else.’
Why wasn’t the United Kingdom included in the ban?
Despite the UK having 373 cases and Ireland having 43 cases, in addition to the UK imposing far fewer restrictions in response to the virus than many EU countries, Trump’s travel ban excluded the two. Trump has properties in both nations.
Trump said on Thursday: ‘One of the reasons UK basically has been (excluded from the restrictions is) it’s got the border.
‘It’s got very strong borders and they’re doing a very good job.’
The exemption will raise questions about the coherence of his policy.
Trump had accused Europe of not acting quickly enough to address the ‘foreign virus’ and claimed that U.S. clusters were ‘seeded’ by European travelers.
But the UK has no screening of people coming from France – to which it is connected directly by the Channel Tunnel – or other European countries, as Nancy Pelosi quickly pointed out.
On Thursday, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, one of America’s top scientists, explained the ban on European countries.
He said: ‘When we were looking at the pure public health aspect of it we found that 70 percent of the new infections in the world were coming from Europe, that cluster of countries, and of the 35 states – 30 out of 35 of them who were more recently getting infections were getting them from them – that was predominantly from Italy and from France and from Germany.’
How many people does this affect?
Europe is the most popular international destination for Americans and according to flight tracker FlightAware, there are around 400 flights across the Atlantic from Europe to the United States each day, converting to around 72 million passengers a year.
Although Americans aren’t outright barred from traveling to Europe, many have already cancelled bookings to European cities.
The time of year the ban falls under is when several grade schools and universities have spring break.
What do health officials say about the Europe ban?
Some evidence has suggested travel restrictions – such as the ones imposed in China early on in the pandemic – can contain the virus by stopping cases being imported to the rest of the world.
Margaret Harris, of the World Health Organisation, admitted that travel bans are useful in the early stages of an outbreak but said they are of little use when the disease starts spreading freely within communities – as it has done in the U.S.
Professor Paul Hunter, an infectious disease specialist at the University of East Anglia, said: ‘It is uncertain what the US intends to achieve with the recently announced travel ban to the Schengen area of Europe.
Hunter continued: ‘Many of us have been pointing out since the COVID-19 epidemic began that travel bans have a poor record on preventing the spread of epidemic diseases. At best travel bans only delay the spread of an epidemic by a short while.
‘Introducing an international travel ban at a time when the US is now one of the countries with the most rapidly accelerating internal transmission rates will do little if anything to reduce the burden of infection within the US.’
What does this mean for the tourism and airline industry?
The global travel industry is already reeling from declining bookings and canceled reservations as people try to avoid contracting and spreading coronavirus.
With Europe being the most popular travel destination for Americans, the move will hit tourist reliant-heavy countries hard.
Airlines scrambled to adjust to the new restrictions, with many telling customers they were still assessing options and asking for patience from those trying to contact them.
Even before Trump’s announcement, the International Airline Travelers Association was forecasting a 24 percent fall in Europe’s passenger traffic this year and $37 billion in lost potential ticket sales.
Italy, which is all but closed off as authorities try to control the spread of the virus there, has been particularly hard hit.
An industry trade group warned that airlines worldwide could lose up to $113 billion in revenue from the virus — several times the damage caused by the 2001 terror attacks in the U.S. Since mid-February, shares of American Airlines have dropped by nearly half, United Airlines by more than one-third, and Delta Air Lines more than one-fourth.

My good friend Rick did me the great service of making excellent criticisms of my essay on libertarianisms. I started to post a response in the comments, but it quickly got too long. In any case, here is my response:
"I disagree with your premise that giving a social norm the weight of (sovereign) law is distinguishable from governmental intervention. Sovereign law, for better or worse, IS government intervention."
The point was not that it was or wasn't governmental "intervention" - sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't, but rather, a law doesn't require a government. See for example this post about the powers of text.
In fact, you find throughout history many laws that have no explicit punishments. That is because, often, none is needed. By intermarrying society and law, you can have laws that don't require governments. When you separate them, the only thing that enforces law is a government.
"Rather than allowing individuals to define the terms of their relationships (or to choose NOT to define them, a possibility you've overlooked)"
I am unclear how an undefined terms of relationship would work in a legal context, except, perhaps, by ceding authority to social norms!
"A market would exist (in fact, already does exist) for ready-made contractual arrangements, especially for relationships as common as marriages"
But this is only part of the point. The fact is that, (1) that there are always unexpected parts of a relationship which the law must handle. These are handled according to societal norms and goals, precisely because that is what is left when a contract breaks down, and (2) marriage impacts much more than just the people getting married. I pointed this out here. If marriage communication is, in fact, privileged, then who receives this privilege is a societal issue, and not one of the contractants of marriage. The possibility of children introduces players into the contract which were not a party to it. This means that either (a) the children are treated as simple property, or (b) that society establishes norms regarding their handling, which would have priority above the contractural relationship. In fact, even though there are many other places where society and law have a necessary interaction, the existence of children alone bring together societal norms and law in a very powerful way.
The fundamental problem of libertarianism is that it presumes that we can be, for the most part, disconnected from each other, and even elevates that to a societal goal - to be connected to only those people you choose.
In reality, though, this is neither possible nor desirable. Libertarianism, similar to liberalism, places extremely high value on the degrees of freedom that an individual can do. While I agree that there shouldn't be any unwarranted restriction on degrees of freedom, I find this highly suspicious as an end-goal. Is the ability to pick my nose in public really the purpose for which liberty aspires? I should hope not, for if so it makes it a goal not worth persuing. I agree that liberty is important. I also agree that the nature of liberty requires that society allow things that it normally doesn't agree with, and that society and law, while overlapping in many areas, are not coextensive.
Liberty is the combination of self-mastery, faith, and humility. It is self-mastery in that none of us are free unless we can get control of ourselves - the biggest source of bondage is actually the lack of personal control over ourselves, not other people. In addition, liberty is about the faith that others' may be persuing societal good by means which are radically different, and not necessarily completely understood. Also faith in the fact that most errors in this direction are not fatal. Finally, it is about the humility to accept that there is room for disagreement in everything.
From this perspective, while individual degrees of freedom are important, they are not the only consideration. Freedom to err is vitally important for the freedom to be correct, but this doesn't mean that liberty implies that I should be able to just do anything I want. That is the attitude of my children, I should hope that by the time they are adults they will have sufficient self-mastery to be beyond that.
"In addition, government recognition (aka regulation) of marriage also allows the government a guise of legitimacy under which to confer benefits on one group at the expense of another. Tax and other benefits are provided to married people but denied to gays, polygamists, and unattractive singles."
Just to point out, most of the "benefits" are actually to unmarried cohabitators. We found this out this summer. The state social workers were encouraging us to divorce so that we would have more access to benefits. They determined that we were going to need $89,000 in assistance each year, but that my salary (which is less than that figure) disqualified me from receiving anything. However, if we divorced, then Christa would be able to get the full benefits package.
"Your conclusions about contracts for burgers and lawyers attending weddings are nothing more than unsupported hyperbole."
I disagree. The fact is that law is actually moving more towards your view with regards to basic human interactions. And, with that, we are receiving a constant increase in the number of things we have to sign. We have crazy lawsuits because we no longer have a societal expectation for self-responsibility. Therefore, in nearly every interaction, we have contract which disclaim problems that occur from a lack of self-responsibility. We have idiotic privacy forms we have to fill out at the doctor's office. We have stupid EULAs we have to click through to install software. Why do we just click through them? Because we know what they say. However, if, instead of everyone lawyering up, we instead had a means of social expectations interacting with the law, we could do away with (a) the lawyers to draft them, (b) the lawyers to fight with them, and (c) having to read them all.
The problem with the libertarian position is that it assumes a lot of the societal interaction that it rails against. Most libertarians agree that lawsuits about stupid things are stupid. But that is just because they are assuming conservative, not libertarian, values. In libertarianism, society doesn't affect legal expectations, so why should self-responsibility be assumed?
The nanny-state of liberalism is simply the byproduct of the libertinism of libertarianism. When an ethical self-mastery is no longer part and parcel of what it means to be free, the only valid social response is the nanny state.
So, to sum up, I would say:
While I often assail the left-wing on this blog, I don't always find the time to do equal justice to the not-wing -- the libertarians. Conservatives and Libertarians are often lumped together because of two things (and really they are both the same thing):
However, I think that because of these broad-stroke similarities, many people miss the issues with libertarians.
I think there are a lot of ways in which you could separate libertarians from conservatives. This post is going to concentrate on one of them:
Libertarians tend to be reductionists in their thinking. They want all legal structures to follow contract law, and reduce everything else to that.
This is why many libertarians view marriage as an improper role of government. According to much libertarian thought, marriage doesn't have any role in law, except as two parties wish to establish a contract with each other. Only then should the law step in.
Conservative thought, on the other hand, views a number of different relationships as being governmentally important, and thinks that law should be engaged in dealing with those.
Here's are several reasons why I'm a conservative:
The thing that libertarians don't seem to understand is that it is precisely the fact that many of our social mores get encoded into law that allow us to operate with a small government, and with that government having minimal interference in our lives.
By giving norms the weight of law, it allows people to live simply by following common and respected patterns, without requiring governmental intervention. It is precisely these social forms and customs which make governmental intervention redundant.
Take marriage, for instance. It is true that in many societies marriages do not need approval from the state (like a marriage license). But that does not mean that marriage is any less within the bounds of law. Precisely because a society has norms and customs surrounding marriage (which are utilized directly within the law) means that two people can be married without any need for permission or approval from the government.
Can you imagine a society in which, in order to get married, you needed to lawyer-up and make an airtight contract defining the terms of your relationship? That would be ludicrous! It is precisely because we have social norms that are reflected in legal norms that two people who are in love can get married with minimal intereference with the government.
In fact, in absence of social norms reflected in legal norms, you wind up having to make a contract for everything you do. So, instead of dealing with governmental red tape every time you interact with them, you have to deal with red tape in every single interaction you make with any person at all! Our society is already moving this way, with all of the disclaimers, End-User-License-Agreements, privacy statements, and other idiocy we have to deal with every day. All of these stem from the fact that our social norms are being segregated from our legal norms in the name of "neutrality" (whether religious neutrality or some other form of multiculturalism).
You might object that it is not the libertarians who are doing this but the liberals. But in this aspect the liberals and libertarians are in complete agreement. Both agree that social norms are mere contrivances, and therefore do not merit the coverage of law.
Conservatives, on the other hand, view social norms as a vital part of an integrated society, which cannot be cleanly separated into "legal", "cultural", and "religious" aspects. Our law is meaningless if it is separated from cultural norms, and cultural norms are derived from religious ideals.
The fact is that the liberals are right about one thing - if you want to treat social norms as mere cultural artifacts, it takes a big beaurocracy to do so. The liberals want one big beaurocracy in the government, while the libertarians would like a signed contract completely stating all terms and assumptions when I go to purchase a hamburger, and for a team of lawyers to sit in the front row of the wedding ceremony.
Social norms, however, allow you to live peaceably in society with each other without the hassle. In a conservative culture, you can focus on loving each other, and not on the legal hassles which will result from loving each other.

Tottenham Hotspur will look to snap their three-game Premier League (PL) winless run when they take on Crystal Palace at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this weekend.
It has so far been a disappointing league campaign for the hosts, who have pulled off just one win in the opening four rounds of the PL fixtures (W1, D2, L1). Interestingly, none of those games have seen Tottenham score the opener, and all have witnessed them concede at least one goal in the first half. Also, both of their PL home games this term have seen them lose by the identical 1-0 halftime scoreline, with the Spurs bouncing back in the second half once (W1, L1). For Tottenham, goals have been in short supply when at home lately, as three of their last five PL games here ended with the same 1-0 scoreline (W2, D1, L2).
As for the visitors, they’ve won both of their PL games ahead of the international break, both by a narrow one-goal margin. Stubborn at the back and unprolific in the final third, the Eagles have struggled to provide their fans with entertainment this term, as three of their four PL matches featured under 1.5 goals. However, they’ve clinched four wins in their last five PL trips (W4, L1), with three of those triumphs seeing them score two or more goals and concede at least one. Backed by a solid run of form, they will now try to bring Tottenham’s four-game winning streak in home H2Hs to a halt, also chasing their first PL away goal against the Spurs since 2004.

WP manage results to suceed gamification
Submitted by dourvas on Mon, 06/27/2016 - 13:14
How is it possible to get the results of h5p quizzes (for ex. multiple choice) or the completion of an interactive video and pass it to a third party plugin (or write your own) in order to manage gamification?
Is there a hook for that? A specific part of the code where i should add my code to accomplish that?
Mon, 06/27/2016 - 21:39
Hi!Does this text about the
Does this text about the H5P xAPI integration help?
Mon, 06/27/2016 - 22:49
Ok. This is helpful.
Let me be more specific for my project because i really need your help.
I am starting a project about selling on line courses. I am looking for the best solution that is free. The only desicion that i have made is that i want to use h5p as my basic course authoring tool.
I am between Drupal opigno lms system and Wordpress learndash lms system. The important issue here is that i really want to be able to manage the scores from h5p (just setting the score for each question and getting the results), in order to create or even use an existing one gamification system. You know, a system that summarize the points for each user, give away badges, levels, leaderbords.
Could you please spare an advice or even propose a solution that meets best my needs? i need a system with xapi compliance or there is another way?

I haven't tried LearnDash and don't know what features it offers. With Opigno you should be able to do at least some of this, perhaps by adding the userpoints module into the mix. I don't know if you'll be able to easily add badges as well.
According to one of the developers working on Moodle the features you mention should be available in Moodle core as well. H5P has a plugin for Moodle.

thanks for your answersOk i
thanks for your answers
Ok i have tried opigno before i start this conversation. The question is how to pass the points from h5p to userpoints.
Same question remains regarding WP learndash. There is a wp gamification plugin called "captain up" that could fill my needs. It is the only one i found that the administrator can set the actions which gives points. I asked them if i could get the points from h5p. Their answear is this one://///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////Hi Ioannis, Integration with other plugins depends on policy of those plugins.Can you please contact your plugin author and ask them the following:Do you provide hooks for reporting into third-party software?For example - quiz completed and it's result?Or Video completed?Is there place in your plugin code where recommended to add reporting into third-party software?Thank you//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// i am really looking forward for your answer and i hope i am not asking for too much
Tue, 06/28/2016 - 19:20
Ok, good, I think the xAPI
Ok, good, I think the xAPI event system is the answer to how they can gather points from H5P.
Tue, 06/28/2016 - 19:21
Passing points to userpoints
Passing points to userpoints in Opigno is probably done through the Quiz modules userpoints integration and H5P integration.

The GrassBlade companion has a custom H5P integration. You might try that out. I don't know if wp-h5p-xapi will help you with badges.

You ve been very helpful.
I have one last question that comes and goes in my mind a lot but i never expressed it because it sounds too easy and maybe stupid.
Does h5p store the info of points of each user achived in a WP table in database? Could i get that info from there? Why should i use an LRS as a connection between LMS and H5P; there is no way to get it directly from the lms database and skip the LRS?
Fri, 07/01/2016 - 15:20
Yes, H5P does store points in
Yes, H5P does store points in the table. If you want more details like what the user answered H5P does not store it so you need third party software like an LRS or an LMS with similar features.

If you know where exacly in database please share
