Israeli soldiers have killed a Palestinian man the military had accused of shooting dead an Israeli rabbi, after an exchange of gunfire in the occupied West Bank.
Mohamed Fakih, 29, died on Tuesday after a shootout in the village of Surif, which is north of the West Bank Hebron city of more than 200,000 Palestinians.

“During the operation to stop Mohamed Fakih, who carried out the attack, he was killed during an exchange of fire with soldiers,” a statement from the army said, which described as him as “terrorist” who “assassinated” Rabbi Michael Mark earlier in July.
The 48-year-old rabbi was killed and three members of his family were injured this month when the suspect opened fire on his car, south of Hebron.
“This particular incident followed another incident where a 13-year-old girl was stabbed to death in her bed by a Palestinian man in a settlement close to Hebron,” said Al Jazeera’s Stefanie Dekker, reporting from West Jerusalem.
Hamas, the Palestinian group, said the slain Palestinian man was a member of its military wing, the al-Qassam Brigades.
The house in which Fakih was hiding out was damaged during the fighting and then demolished by an Israeli bulldozer, Reuters news agency reported.
Three others were arrested during the raid.
An Israeli army spokesperson said that a Palestinian woman sustained minor wounds during the military attack and was taken to a hospital for treatment.
The Palestinian Maan news agency quoted the spokesperson as saying that a Kalashnikov machine-gun and a grenade were found in Fakih’s house.
Witnesses told the news agency they saw Fakih’s body in the bucket of an Israeli army bulldozer that pulled him out of the rubble.
Maan reported, citing the Palestinian Ministry of Health, that five Palestinians were shot with rubber-coated bullets during clashes in Surif.
Tightly guarded enclave
Hebron, occupied by several hundred Jewish settlers who live in a tightly guarded enclave in the heart of the city, has been a persistent source of tensions.
“When we talk about Hebron, it really is a microcosm of this conflict,” our correspondent said.
“It is an area in the occupied West Bank where settlers live very closely together with Palestinians … It’s patrolled very tightly by the army. Palestinians will tell you they have no freedom of movement.”
Elsewhere in the Palestinian territories, reports said that the Israeli Defence Forces shot and wounded an 18-year-old Palestinian woman at Qalandiya checkpoint on Tuesday.
Images and video posted to social media showed the teenager having fallen to the ground after the attack, as she wailed in pain.
Qalandiya is the main checkpoint between the northern West Bank and Jerusalem.
Police said she failed to “respond to the calls of the Israeli security personnel”, adding that they had found a knife in her belongings, according to the Haaretz newspaper.
Violence in the Palestinian territories and Israel since last October has killed at least 217 Palestinians, 34 Israelis, two Americans, an Eritrean and a Sudanese, according to an AFP count.
Most of the Palestinians killed were suspected of carrying out knife, gun or car-ramming attacks, according to Israeli authorities.

Now that we have passed the unofficial start of summer (Memorial Day Weekend) I’ve been craving weddings like this. Waterside, outdoors, with so much sunshine and a love that only intensifies in the summertime heat. This is the most wonderful time of the year for a reason, and Blushing Bride Studio knows it. They captured this wedding so beautifully, it’s overfilling into a gallery so, so pretty.
From the beautiful bride … Since we had heard that weddings go by so quickly, we wanted to make it a weekend event outside Montreal so that we could make this magical moment last longer and spend more time with our guests. Since we both love the countryside, we decided to get married at my parents country house by a lake in the Laurentians. It was a gorgeous and very unique location, but involved a lot of logistics and planning since everything had to be done from scratch!
The ceremony took place in a cute little wooden church. The guests were then transported to the celebration by boat where our favourite drinks and refreshments were served. Cocktail was outside on the lawn by the lake (we got so lucky with the weather!), dinner inside the house and the party in the barn! Inspired by many blogs, such as SMP, I opted for a romantic rustic elegance theme in white, flax and soft aqua colours.
We organized activities the morning of the wedding that reflected our passions: rugby with my husband and yoga with me. These moments were, for each us, so blissful since it gave us the opportunity to relax, ground ourselves and share some precious time with our best friends before the big event. We hired someone to coordinate the logistics the weekend of the wedding but ended up not having the wedding planner that we wanted since we took ourselves too late. The amplitude of this event was quite overwhelming for the coordinator, given her lack of experience, and some little things did not work as planned. Having an experienced wedding planner is a must if you want to enjoy it all so the best tip I can give to future brides is to invest in a good one! Although I could not have dreamed of a sweeter and more beautiful wedding, the organization had been tough at times, very long hours and I was conscious of the little details that did not work during the event. It was only at the party stage that I completely let go. So future brides, don’t think about the little details (that most guests don’t notice anyways!) and enjoy every moment of it to the maximum because even a weekend wedding goes by in flash!

Long portions of steel rails were delivered on Monday to St. Louis Park near a future station along the Southwest light-rail route, a sure sign that construction on the $2 billion project has begun.
The rails arrived by a special train to a spot between Highway 100 and Beltline Boulevard beginning Monday morning — a process that will continue Tuesday and possibly this weekend. They’re part of an overall shipment of about 54 rail segments, each spanning about 1,600 feet long.
In addition, parts of two popular bike and pedestrian trails were closed Monday, as right of way is prepared to make way for the 14.5-mile light-rail line. Southwest, which will link downtown Minneapolis to Eden Prairie, is expected to begin service in 2023.
Part of the Cedar Lake LRT Regional Trail will be closed through Hopkins and St. Louis Park until the fall of 2021. The portion of the Kenilworth Trail in Minneapolis that closed begins at the intersection with the Midtown Greenway, extending northeast to south of W. 21st Street. The Kenilworth Trail will reopen the summer of 2022, according to the Metropolitan Council, which is building the project. Detour signs will direct cyclists and pedestrians to alternative routes.
Work has already begun along the entire light-rail corridor, which also touches Hopkins and Minnetonka, including surveying and staking, relocating utilities, and digging out trees, shrubs and plants.
But tree and plant removal has sparked protest by residents who live near the Kenilworth corridor in Minneapolis.
Last weekend, a group of residents replanted dozens of native wildflower plants from the Kenilworth corridor slated to be upended by the Southwest project. The plants, including cup plants, bee balm, swamp milkweed, sedges and blanket flowers, were replanted in safe areas, said Minneapolis resident Angela Erdrich. About 70 containers of plants were relocated.
“The prairie habitat is very important for bees and birds,” Erdrich said. “This is a valuable habitat.”
As of Monday, 2,845 people had signed a petition asking Gov. Tim Walz to delay cutting down more than 1,000 trees along the corridor until $929 million in federal funding for Southwest is ensured. The petition was expected to be delivered to Walz on Tuesday.
The plea follows a letter written last month to Met Council Chair Nora Slawik from several state and local elected officials who said if federal funding flounders, “elimination of this unique, urban forest preserve and passageway would be a reckless and irreversible mistake.”
Slawik replied that any further delays in construction of the line could result in the cost of the project increasing and push out its opening date.
The council is awaiting an invitation to apply for a grant from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). That could happen as early as this summer, said Met Council spokeswoman Kate Brickman.
“We’re making progress in terms of construction, so that’s good, that will help [with the FTA],” Brickman said.

Ratko Mladic, the so-called Butcher of Bosnia, taunted Srebrenica survivors at the start of his trial for genocide on Wednesday.
The former Bosnian Serb general, on trial for the murder of tens of thousands of Muslim men, women and children during the early 1990s Bosnian war, entered a courtroom in The Hague clapping his hands and gave the thumbs-up sign.
After the trial began he also made eye contact with one of the Muslim women present, running his thumb across his neck in a throat- slitting motion.
The gesture led to Dutch judge Alphons Orie calling a brief recess to end inappropriate interactions, Reuters reported.
Mladic is accused of playing a central role in the Balkan conflict, including the massacre of Muslims in Srebrenica in 1995, Europe's single worst atrocity since the Second World War.
His forces reportedly murdered more than 8,000 Muslim men and boys during the week-long massacre, while also forcibly deporting up to 30,000 Bosniak women from the supposed UN safe haven.
Mladic also stands accused of overseeing the 43-month siege of the Bosnian capital Sarajevo, in which more than 10,000 people were killed by snipers, machine guns and heavy artillery.
It is estimated more than 100,000 people died during the 1992-1995 conflict.
The trial is being held before the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague. Mladic faces 11 counts of genocide as well as several other crimes against humanity.
After 17 years on the run, Mladic was finally apprehended by Serb forces near Belgrade in May last year.
Opening the trial, prosecutor Dermot Groome said Mladic and other Bosnian Serbs had implemented a plan to exterminate non-Serbs after dividing the country along ethnic lines.
The prosecution will present evidence that will show beyond a reasonable doubt the hand of Mr. Mladic in each of these crimes, he said, according to Reuters.
Mladic has previously dismissed all charges against him as obnoxious and monstrous since he was only defending his country.
In pre-trial hearings Mladic has heckled the court, frequently interrupting the proceedings.
The whole world knows who I am, he told a hearing last year.
I am General Ratko Mladic. I defended my people, my country ... now I am defending myself.
Sky News quoted Belgian chief prosecutor Serge Brammertz as saying: I don't have to tell you how important it is that finally this trial starts 17 years after the first indictment was issued [against Mladic].
The accused has been in the same jail as that of his former political leader Radovan Karadzic, who is also being tried for genocide.
Karadzic, who was captured in 2008, is also half way through his trial.
We would, of course, have preferred having both before the same judges, one being the political architect of the crimes allegedly committed, the other the military leader of this policy.
The president of the tribunal, Judge Theodor Meron, rejected a last-ditch effort by Mladic asking for the Dutch judge, Alphons Orie, to be replaced.
Meron said in a statement: After review of each of Mladic's arguments for Judge Orie's disqualification and Judge Orie's responses thereto, I am not satisfied that Mladic has demonstrated that a reasonable observer, properly informed, would reasonably apprehend bias, and I accordingly find Mladic's request for Judge Orie's disqualification to be unmeritorious.
Parampreet Singh, a senior counsel in the International Justice Programme at Human Rights Watch, said: Victims have waited nearly two decades to see Ratko Mladic in the dock. His trial should lay to rest the notion that those accused of atrocity crimes can run out the clock on justice.

Nonetheless it's a twisting tale that touches on NFL culture, special treatment for athletes, toxic masculinity, and mental health.

I received payment for my published photos in Yama-to-Keikoku’s Mountaineers Data Book and my photographs and book on the Japan Alps were returned; I completed a submission about an acquaintance’s English garden and sent the photographs and story off by courier to a gardening magazine that has previously published my work; I sold two of my books, This Little Corner; I received the next selection request for photographs to be hung in a doctor’s clinic (we change the photographs every two months); and I could look forward to beginning my next big project: the translation of profiles of foreign mountaineers climbing in Japan. In addition, I have to prepare my gear for an outing on the 11th to Nikko’s Nantaisan. Yes, it’s good to feel like a lot is going on.
Whenever I submit materials on spec to a magazine, I feel like a salesman going door to door, peddling the wares he represents. I am not actually a good salesperson. My father was a very successful insurance salesman and my sister is making great money selling business software. But I prefer to make photographs and write articles and send them off to magazines, hoping that an editor will like what I have produced and agree to publish it.
So, how is it that I feel like a salesman? Because sometimes I have to go “door to door” in order to find the right customer. No, I don’t literally visit publishers and magazines, but I do send stuff out and more often than not it gets returned to me, unaccepted for publishing. I don’t, however, let that kill my idea. I’ll modify the text a little and write a new cover letter and send the package off to another prospective magazine. And sometimes it is my second try where I get lucky and find a paying customer.
I once sent a portfolio of images and a story about the Japan Alps off to Photo Life in Canada. When they returned the submission I turned around and sent it to Outdoor Photography in the U.K. The story and five photographs appeared in the January 2006 issue. When Asahi Kamera in Japan said my New Zealand landscapes were too orthodox, I sent them off to Nihon Kamera and got eight pages in their February 2010 issue. Photo Life also returned my article entitled, “Confessions of a Mountain Photographer,” (what is it with those guys rejecting me?) but it found a home in the pages of Nature Photographer in the U.S.
Sometimes I have a good feeling about who will accept what. It largely comes from a bit of market research, where I check out a few issues before submitting or planning a submission. Currently, I am hoping and praying that Nihon Kamera will want to use my story on the sedimentary rock empire of the western U.S. (Utah and Nevada photographs specifically). I called them two weeks ago and they asked if I could wait a little while longer for a reply.
But other times, there is only great disappointment. The impregnable editorial office of Photo Life rejected a third submission of mine about cultural differences in photographic approaches of landscapes. I had high hopes because their magazine specifically advertised on the cover that they published stories related to the culture of photography. I thought my idea was taking theirs very directly. Perhaps they just didn’t like the photographs.
I initially contacted Outdoor Photography in Canada with a couple of ideas in 2008. The editor was keen on my ideas and I submitted a couple more. There was talk about a profile piece on me, which later evolved into a possible ex-pat piece by late 2009. But by the end of 2011 the direction shifted more to returning my slides, something that has yet to happen though. Outdoor Photography U.K. received a tailored piece (UK specific) about photographing rocks – a kind of geology as art piece – from me but it got lost, as did another rock art piece I sent to a magazine in Tokyo. Asahi Kamera rejected my second submission to them, so now I am planning a third one that will hopefully be a little more attention-grabbing. And while Gakujin has warmly received both of my submissions to them, the end result was that my initial submission was returned unpublished but two very different pieces got printed instead.
So, one never truly knows what is going to make an editor take notice and plan to save some pages for your work. I do my best to look through magazines before submitting to them but it’s an uncertain world. Sometimes you have to follow closely along with what gets published; other times you have to think outside the box to call attention to yourself. The only thing I can keep doing as a salesman is to keep searching for publications where I think my work has a chance of being chosen. And when one door closes I have to go knocking on the next one that seems most likely to open.
Salesman where you gonna go to sell all of your goods today
Yup, salesman, gonna walk along the street, see friends along the way
Hey, salesman, with your wooden cart that you push along while you walk
Hey, salesman with your secret goods that you push while you talk
You always wear a smile,
Even though you’ve gotta walk a hundred ten miles
Short life span – but the whole thing’s grand
Salesman – The Monkees

The spring garden is abloom! This doesn’t mean you should stop adding to your garden – there are still many plants, flowers and veggies to plant this month. And while October may be dedicated to roses and hydrangeas, there’s no doubt that the rest of your green paradise could use some attention, too. Here are our gardening tips to get yours off to a successful start.
Spotlight on: Smelling the roses
October is fondly known as ‘rose month’ – these beautifully scented flowers burst into a spectacular show from the first week of the month. Many people are familiar with the iconic ‘Iceberg’ rose, as it’s the best-selling type, but there are many other types of roses for your spring garden. Read our full rose care guide for everything you need to know. Top tips to keep in mind:
Feed your roses with Wonder Rose & Flower 8:1:5 to prolong their flowering and encourage more bud growth.
Deadhead roses when flowers are drooping to encourage more blossoms.
Mulch around your roses to keep the roots cool during our hot summers.
For protection against pests and diseases, use Efekto Rosecare 3 (a 3-in-1 product).
ON YOUR TO-DO LIST FOR OCTOBER
Plant & Sow
Plant these flower seedlings in sun-exposed areas: petunias, sweet alyssum, gazanias, penstemons, Chrysanthemum paludosum and C. multicaule, SunPatiens® and celosia.
Seedlings to plant in shady areas include New Guinea impatiens, Busy Lizzie impatiens, begonias, hypoestes and coleus.
Sow annuals such as cosmos, marigold, Portulaca grandiflora, zinnia and sunflowers.
Calibrachoas need to be fed with a water-soluble fertiliser twice a month to keep them in full flower. They dislike soggy soil, so be careful not to water too much.
Plants growing in acidic soils will need some agricultural lime for performance enhancement. Young plants need only one cup, while more mature plants (older than five years) could do with two cups. A water-soluble foliar feed high in potassium should be applied monthly throughout summer.
Clean up succulents such as echeveria and kalanchoewhen they have stopped flowering by dividing them and replanting them in other parts of the garden.
OTHER FRESH IDEAS
Save time, shop online October is a busy time of the year, so save some time by shopping for your favourite plants, seeds and garden accessories on our online shop. We’re especially loving the 6-packs of flower seedlings and tree saplings to fill out the garden.

We guess that it was his gait that gave him away.
Imagine trying to walk properly with 9,000 memory cards strapped to your legs and body.
Hong Kong's South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported last week that a man was caught trying to smuggle thousands of memory cards into mainland China.
He had over 9,000 cards strapped to his body when he tried to enter Shenzhen from Hong Kong on Feb 26.
The cards are reportedly worth nearly 100,000 yuan (S$21,000). A Custom officer said that the man offered them a 50,000-yuan bribe when he was caught, SCMP reported.
It also reported that Custom officers at Shenzhen had caught another smuggler - this time an elderly woman - just hours earlier.
She was found with more than 10,000 cards taped to her waist and legs.
SCMP said that foreign-brand electronics are usually cheaper in Hong Kong than in mainland China, since there is no sales tax in Hong Kong.
This is, of course, not the first time that people have been caught trying to smuggle electronics into China. Last year, smugglers were trying to smuggle iPhones across the borders (see here, here, and here).

Head of the Namibian delegation to the Pan-African Parliament (PAP), Honor. Lloyd Kasengo, Vice President of the National Assembly recently said that the PAP session could not be concluded due to the succession battle between the African regional blocs that make up the legislature.
She emphasized that despite the principle of geographical rotation agreed upon by the African Union, the northern and southern regions have been deprived of leadership since the establishment of the body.
“The principle of geographical rotation is a well-established principle within the Federation, which has been consistently applied and has legally binding effect within the entire Federation and this was the focus of contention at the session held in Midrand, Johannesburg, South Africa,” he explained.
She explained that over the past 17 years of the Palestinian parliament’s existence, four years of the presidency was occupied by the eastern and central region and twice by the western region, while the northern and southern regions did not have the opportunity to lead the administration of the institution. .
Kasenjo also pointed out that the opposition to the demands of rotation by the West and some other regions turned into a state of chaos, which calls for the suspension of the electoral process and the session.
“The southern region has taken its position to demand the application of the principle of geographical rotation and if this is not considered then elections will not be held, which was proposed by the West and some regions which led to the outbreak of chaos that could not be controlled by the ad hoc committee in charge of election operations,” said Kasengo.
Accompany Kasenjo Hon. McHenry Vinani, Leader of the Official Opposition, People’s Democratic Movement, Hazrat. Hamunira hampiuca and hon. Gerhardos Shemy are also Members of Parliament appointed to represent the Namibian Parliament.
The People’s Action Program began on May 21 with the theme “Arts, Culture and Heritage: Backward to Building the Africa We Want”.

The Sons of the Desert are holding a meeting, a fraternity who get together regularly for their ceremonies and whatnot, and also the odd convention where they can let their hair down for a weekend. One such convention is planned soon, but for two members, Stan (Stan Laurel) and Ollie (Oliver Hardy), there may be a problem, which explains why Stan looks so upset when their leader is ordering everyone to take the oath of attendance for it. On the way home in the taxi cab, Ollie asks him what the issue was, and Stan replies he doesn’t think his wife Betty (Dorothy Christy) will allow him permission to go, and now he’s fretting he will be the only one to break the promise; his best pal is disgusted with this behaviour.
According to Ollie, he is the King of his castle, which you will be less than surprised to learn is simply not the case, as he is as henpecked as Stan is. Of all the Laurel and Hardy features, rather than their many short subjects, Sons of the Desert was their most typical, and is often held up as the finest of their films to last over an hour in length (though not much over an hour, it had to be said, they kept things succinct in those days). Although some would have it that Way Out West is funnier, and it probably is, that was not to do down their efforts here which demonstrated by that stage they were such seasoned performers of comedy that it was a pleasure to watch such professionals go about their work with such finesse.
If finesse is the right word for their particular brand of buffoonery, especially one which more than anything they did posited their relationship as two overgrown little boys forever in danger of being found out by the adults, which offered an interesting relationship between them and their wives. Generously, the boys and their team made the actresses’ roles count, with Christy a duck hunter often seen toting a shotgun both as a thinly veiled threat to her hubby not to step out of line, and as a representation that she was the one taking the more masculine duties since Stan can barely walk through his own front door without making a hash of it. Mae Busch was the actress most associated with the duo (aside from Thelma Todd, perhaps) and here she was in her element.
Her Lottie presented the actress as someone you wouldn’t wish to get on the wrong side of, with her features all too readily lapsing into a formidable scowl, so the second Ollie tells her there’s a convention he wishes to go to, he may as well buy himself a crash helmet to protect himself from the inevitable flying crockery (it could be the fact many of the participants were too familiar with marital strife that offers this comic business its edge). It may be Stan and Ollie who we most remember, but we shouldn’t dismiss the top flight supporting casts producer Hal Roach assembled around them, and once they get to the event in Chicago one of the silent era’s finest comedians Charley Chase, not as well recalled as the two co-stars these days, and in truth not playing his accustomed persona, was very effective as the boorish prankster Stan and Ollie get lumbered with.
So how did they reach the convention without their wives' permission? It’s simple: they lied. And yet it’s not simple at all, as the message of the movie is honesty is the best policy, and as usual Ollie thinks he’s smarter than Stan so concocts a harebrained scheme where he pretends to be ill, for which a trip to Honolulu to take the air is the only cure (according to the vet they hired to pose as a doctor, that is). But the best laid plans and all that, which leads into the denouement where with crushing inevitability they are found out and pay the price, yet even with this very tangible sense of impending doom, we sympathise with Stan and Ollie because they can’t catch a break in life, though contain a certain foolish optimism that they can. We know that once the story has ended, they will be embroiled in yet another scheme that will drop off into chaos and even their best intentions go astray, which is the reason audiences continue to return to their work, we see their ludicrous qualities and in a funny way, relate.

A one-woman garage sale evolved into a 25-family neighborhood sale that will be held Saturday in Pompano Beach.
Freda Edwards, of 251 SW 18th Court, said cars, boats, birds, knickknacks, clothing and baked goods will be among the items for sale between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.
"Everyone was coming to me and asking if I was going to have another garage sale," Edwards said. "I decided I wasn't going to do it for everyone, so I got them to have their own and it snowballed."
Edwards said participating homes are between McNab Road, Southwest Second Avenue, Southwest Third Avenue, and Southwest 18th Court.
Edwards said the quickest route to the neighborhood is to exit Intrerstate 95 at Cypress Creek Road East, turn left on Cypress Road, turn left again on NcNab Road, turn left on southwest Second Avenue.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The No. 3 Ohio State men’s tennis team (20-2, 4-0 Big Ten) picked up its 20th win of the season by defeating No. 12 Kentucky (20-7, 5-3 SEC), 4-3, in one of its closest matches of the year. The Buckeyes move to 11-12 vs. the Wildcats following the five-hour affair Wednesday afternoon at the Hilary J. Boone Tennis Complex.
Junior Chase Buchanan clinched match point at No. 2 singles when he downed No. 51 Alex Musialek 2-6, 6-3, 7-5 in a classic comeback victory. The 2010 Big Ten Athlete of the Year trailed in all three sets, but the determined leader pushed through for the win. Buchanan moves to 8-1 at No. 2, 17-2 in dual singles play and 12-5 vs. ranked competition.
With the win, the Buckeyes have now won five consecutive matches and collected 54 wins in their last 55 road contests. The Scarlet and Gray improved to 7-1 on the road this season and are 57-2 as the No. 3 ranked team in the nation.
Head coach Ty Tucker now has earned at least 20 wins in 12 consecutive seasons, which is an Ohio State record. Tucker is 8-0 against the Wildcats.
Doubles action began slowly for the visiting Buckeyes. Kentucky’s Eric Quigley and Brad Cox, the nation’s 64th ranked duo, quickly downed Matt Allare and Peter Kobelt, the 13th-best team in the country, 8-4, to give the Wildcats the advantage.
After trailing, 3-2, Buckeyes Buchanan and Shuhei Uzawa took the next six points from Alberto Gonzalez and Tom Jomby, the 51st ranked tandem in the nation, to win by a score of 8-3 to even up the doubles count at one win apiece. Buchanan and Uzawa improve to 4-1 when paired together on the year.
However, the Buckeyes dropped the doubles point as Blaz Rola and Balazs Novak let a 7-5 lead slip away before falling to Anthony Rossi and Musialek in a super-competitive bout, 9-8 (5). It was the Ohio State duo’s first loss since being teamed up for the last six contests.
Uzawa, a senior co-captain, ended Kentucky’s momentum by capturing the first singles point of the afternoon for the Buckeyes at No. 6 as he defeated Jomby 6-4, 6-1. It was only the third time this season Uzawa has competed in singles competition in 2011. The native of Chiba, Japan, has come away with victories in two of the matches.
Allare gave Ohio State a 2-1 advantage, winning in straight sets. Although both sets went into tie-breakers, Allare was able to edge Cox 7-6(3), 7-6(10-8) for his 24th singles win on the year and 12th in a row, all at the No. 4 position.
Novak would put the Scarlet and Gray up by two after coming back to win the last two sets of his match vs. Rossi 4-6, 6-0, 6-1. With the win, Novak moves to 10-0 at the No. 4 position and 17-2 during dual singles.
The Buckeyes would drop the next two points as the Wildcats evened the score at 3-all. Rola lost a 6-4, 6-7, 6-4 decision to No. 7 Quigley at No. 1 in a rare loss for the third-ranked player in the country. Redshirt-sophomore Devin McCarthy also was dealt a rare singles loss, losing to Gonzalez 7-6, 6-3.
Up next, the Buckeyes will resume conference play in Columbus when they welcome No. 53 Michigan State Friday and Michigan Sunday. The matches are scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. and noon, respectively. The Big Ten showdowns will be Ohio State’s first home matches since Feb. 27 vs. Louisville.
Check back to OhioStateBuckeyes.com for updated information on the location of the Buckeyes’ weekend matches. Ohio State will play its home matches at either the Varsity Indoor Tennis Center (880 W. Henderson Rd) or Stickney Tennis Center, which is located just north of the Woody Hayes Athletic Facility on Olentangy River Rd.

Simplifying GPS Trajectory Data with Enhanced Spatial-Temporal Constraints
AbstractRaw GPS trajectory data are often very large and use up excessive storage space. The efficiency and accuracy of activity patterns analysis or individual–environment interaction modeling using such data may be compromised due to data size and computational needs. Line generalization algorithms may be used to simplify GPS trajectories. However, traditional algorithms focus on geometric characteristics of linear features. Trajectory data may record information beyond location. Examples include time and elevation, and inferred information such as speed, transportation mode, and activities. Effective trajectory simplification should preserve these characteristics in addition to location and orientation of spatial-temporal movement. This paper proposes an Enhanced Douglas–Peucker (EDP) algorithm that implements a set of Enhanced Spatial-Temporal Constraints (ESTC) when simplifying trajectory data. These constraints ensure that the essential properties of a trajectory be preserved through preserving critical points. Further, this study argues that speed profile can uniquely identify a trajectory and thus it can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of a trajectory simplification. The proposed ESTC-EDP simplification method is applied to two examples of GPS trajectory. The results of trajectory simplification are reported and compared with that from traditional DP algorithm. The effectiveness of simplification is evaluated. View Full-Text

More than 305 types of weed in more than 50 countries have been reported to be resistant to at least one herbicide, and an increasing number of weeds owe their success to their genetic diversity.
Scientists say techniques are needed to detect mutations when they first occur, so farmers can test for herbicide resistance in the field and manage weeds accordingly.
NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) molecular biologist,Dr Mui-Keng Tan, together with a team of researchers from Japan, investigated a technique called ecotilling and found it offers a quick, cheap and reliable means of detecting early signs of herbicide resistance in weeds.
Unlike the traditional molecular approach, eco-tilling uses reverse genetics. Genes are not fully sequenced; instead, mutations in single molecules that make up genes are identified purely on the basis of their position in the genome.
Dr Tan said new mutations can be detected and known ones can be screened for a fraction of the cost of alternative genetic methods.
This makes it a powerful, low cost and high throughput alternative to full sequencing.
Dr Tan has been investigating the technique with Dr Guang-Xi Wang from Kyoto University, who was funded by the Grains Research and Development Corporation to collaborate with Dr Tan at DPI’s Elizabeth Macarthur Agricultural Institute at Camden.
She says the use of the eco-tilling technique to test for resistance could help farmers to manage herbicide use in crop rotations more economically and effectively.
Dr Tan’s research has focused on herbicide resistance in two oft he most significant weeds affecting Australian cropping systems -wild oats and rye grass - and to together with Dr Wang she also examined weeds in rice fields inJapan.
Dr Tan said the every weed-herbicide system is specific.
"The ecotilling technique can beapplied on any particular system, pending availability of molecular data on the target genes of theherbicides," she said.
An article on the research in Japan was published recently in the international journal Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology.Contact Mui-Keng Tan, Camden, (02) 4640 6445 or firstname.lastname@example.org

To rapidly transport the right ions through the cell membrane, the tiny channels rely on a complex interplay between the ions and surrounding molecules,...
The miniaturization of the current technology of storage media is hindered by fundamental limits of quantum mechanics. A new approach consists in using so-called spin-crossover molecules as the smallest possible storage unit. Similar to normal hard drives, these special molecules can save information via their magnetic state. A research team from Kiel University has now managed to successfully place a new class of spin-crossover molecules onto a surface and to improve the molecule’s storage capacity. The storage density of conventional hard drives could therefore theoretically be increased by more than one hundred fold. The study has been published in the scientific journal Nano Letters.
Over the past few years, the building blocks of storage media have gotten ever smaller. But further miniaturization of the current technology is hindered by...

Sulfur and fluorine form several different compounds including sulfur hexafluoride and sulfur tetrafluoride. Decomposition of a sample of sulfur hexafluoride produces 4.45 g of fluorine and 1.25 g of sulfur, while decomposition of a sample of sulfur tetrafluoride produces 4.43 g of fluorine and 1.87 g of sulfur. Calculate the mass of fluorine per gram of sulfur for each sample and show that these results are consistent with the law of multiple proportions
Solution 38E (a) Mass spectrum is the graph of intensity vs mass-to-charge ratio for representing a chemical analysis.Hence, the mass spectrum of a sample is a pattern representing the distribution of ions by mass-to-charge ratio in a sample. The purpose of magnet in the mass spectrometer is to deflect the ions which passed through the slits into a curved path. For ions with the same charge, the extent of deflection depends on mass i.e the more massive the ion, the less the deflection. Hence, ions are separated according to their masses. (b) In this figure, we see the signal intensities of the beams reaching the detector of the mass spectrometer. These signals are the fractional abundances of the isotopes Cl and Cl. The mass spectrum of Cl does not show a peak at 35.5 amu because it's the average atomic mass of Cl. It is not the atomic mass of naturally occurring isotope. (c) If in the Mass spectrum of phosphorus atom (P), there is only a single peak that means relative abundance of 31P is minimum and only one single isotope occurs.

Monday the 13th of June, 2011, I defended my thesis.
I am very glad to have succeeded in my studies at the National Research School in Music Education. My subject of the thesis is “Equivalent assessment in music education in Swedish compulsory schools”.
My official title is now Ph.Lic. (licentiate of philosophy, pre-doctoral degree)… I still like to be called just Fredrik though 🙂
A big thanks to all who have supported me in work and prayers!


Thousands of large trucks are bypassing the inspection stations along Iowa’s interstate highways every day. They’re not however, part of some renegade 1970’s convoy truckin’ across the USA. Iowa Department of Transportation spokesman Mike Winfrey says the trucks get a rolling a high-tech inspection. The trucks carry a transponder that automatically checks to see if the trucks have been certified.You may notice the “PrePass” monitors as you drive interstates 80 and 35, they hang out on poles over the interstate and look like cameras.Winfrey says the system is a public/private partnership in which the state supplies the criteria for checking trucks, and the private firm signs up the truckers.He says the system keeps trucks on the road and saves drivers money as they don’t have to slow or stop for the inspection stations.Winfrey says some of the trucks with the “Prepass” system are randomly stopped to ensure that drivers that’ve been certified keep their trucks in compliance. He says 17 states nationwide are using the system.

Blood flow restriction does not attenuate short-term detraining-induced muscle size and strength losses after resistance training with blood flow restriction. J Strength Cond Res 35(8): 2082–2088, 2021—After a short-term resistance training with blood flow restriction (BFR), we investigated the effects of 12 days of detraining (DET), without an exercise stimulus, on quadriceps cross-sectional area (QCSA) and muscle strength (1 repetition maximum [1RM]), with 1 leg receiving daily intermittent BFR during DET vs. the same nonexercise condition without BFR (CON) in the contralateral leg. Both subjects' legs were evaluated for QCSA and 1RM before (PRE) and after (POST) both legs being unilaterally submitted to 3 weeks (4 days per week) of low-load (3 sets of 15 repetitions, 30% 1RM) resistance training with BFR. The DET period started immediately after POST, where each leg was randomly submitted to a daily intermittent BFR protocol or CON, without any associated exercise stimulus. Quadriceps cross-sectional area and 1RM were reassessed after DET. Both legs at CON and BFR conditions increased QCSA (6.3 and 6.8%, respectively; both p < 0.0001) and 1RM (9.5 and 10.1%, respectively; both p < 0.05) from PRE to POST. Both legs at CON and BFR conditions reduced QCSA (−4.6 and 4.9%, respectively; both p < 0.0001) and 1RM (−9.0 and −8.2%, respectively; both p < 0.05) from POST to DET, with no significant differences between conditions (p > 0.05). We conclude that muscle strength and hypertrophy gains obtained in 3 weeks of resistance training with BFR are not maintained after 12 days of DET. Moreover, the application of BFR, without an associated exercise stimulus, does not attenuate such losses.

World no. 1 badminton player Momota Covid positive, Japan to miss Thailand Open1 min read . Updated: 03 Jan 2021, 05:27 PM IST
- Momota was looking to make his international comeback in Bangkok
- National broadcaster NHK said the 26-year-old tested positive at Narita airport
World number one Badminton player Kento Momota tested positive for Covid-19 on Sunday, said Japan's Badminton Association. All of Japan's players are hence required to stay away from Thailand Open, scheduled for this month.
"Momota has tested positive for the coronavirus, and the association has decided not to send any players, including Momota, to Thailand," an association official told AFP.
The 26-year-old player was looking to make his international comeback at Thailand Open. He has been on almost a-year-long sabbatical following a car crash that left him with serious injuries.
National broadcaster NHK said Momota tested positive at Narita airport ahead of the Japan team's departure for Thailand.
An association official confirmed that none of the other 22 Japan players tested positive, but said the entire team would withdraw nonetheless.
Momota won the All-Japan championships last week in his first competition since his accident last January, when the vehicle taking him to the airport after he won the Malaysia Masters crashed, killing the driver.
Momota feared his career might be over after fracturing an eye socket in the accident, and admitted his "spirit was almost broken" after undergoing surgery.
The rescheduled Thailand Open is one of three tournaments taking place in Thailand this month, following disruptions to the badminton world tour schedule last year.

#AceNewsReport – Apr.27: Two of Louisiana’s last three abortion clinics will be able to keep their doors open, thanks to a federal judge who just permanently blocked a law that would have led to their closure Vice News reported #AceNewsDesk
“It is plain that Act 620 would result in the closure of clinics, fewer physicians, longer waiting times for appointments, increased crowding and increased associated health risks,” Judge John deGravelles found Wednesday of the Louisiana law that would have mandated that doctors performing abortions obtain admitting privileges at nearby hospitals. “Act 620 would do little or nothing for women’s health, but rather would create impediments to abortion, with especially high barriers set before poor, rural, and disadvantaged women.”
In his ruling, deGravelles specifically cited the standard set by the Supreme Court’s Whole Women’s Health v. Hellerstadt…

Just randomly my nvidia driver broke. I am using VNC on my pc because it is at an remote location. A couple days ago it was running fine inside a VNC session with CUDA working. But now a couple days later it gives me this error inside the VNC session: “NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.”.
I use TigerVNC as VNC server.
Any questions please ask!

We all know that the young actress Sree Leela is now the sensation of the Industry. Right now she is one of the most busiest actress in the Industry. She has more than 10+ movies in her hand, and recent update about her is that she has been roped in as a female lead in Nithin’s movie as well. We already know that Sree Leela is charging huge remuneration and the producers are also nodding their heads for this. But right now, for the next few months, wherever we see there is going to be Sree Leela on the screen.
Recently, she has signed multiple movies, and some of the movies are getting close to the release as well. She will be busy with the promotion works, and other activities as well.
The movies that she is working on are Aadikesaava, Skanha, Bhagavath Kesari, Extraordinary Man, Guntur Karam. Most of these movies are lined up for the grand releases in the next few months. Now let’s wait and see how will be the response of the new movies of Sree Leela at the box office. We hope the best for her.


When Ryan Seacrest, the “busiest man in Hollywood,” touches something in the entertainment world, it usually turns to gold. But it seems the “American Idol” host, radio personality and producer of such mega-hits like “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” and the Emmy Award-winning “Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution” missed the mark this time.
The new Seacrest-hosted reality TV show “Knock Knock Live” was pulled by Fox after just two episodes, Variety.com reports. The reason? The show earned abysmal ratings. The series “averaged a 0.6 rating and 1.75 million viewers, one of Fox's lowest series debuts ever,” per The Hollywood Reporter.
“Knock Knock Live” -- a program which involved celebrities such as David Beckham and Justin Bieber surprising regular folk at their homes with prizes -- will be replaced with comedy repeats. Viewers can expect to see encores of “The Last Man on Earth” and “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” in the Tuesday 9 p.m. timeslot.
“Knock Knock Live” was produced by Simon Fuller’s XIX Entertainment and Dick Clark Productions. Seacrest served as executive producer.

UCSF Uses Archibus to Optimize 10.5M Square Feet of Campus
UCHealth is a nationally recognized health care system with a reach far beyond its Aurora, Colo., headquarters. Its 800 providers and 12 hospitals—including University of Colorado Hospital—serve patients throughout Colorado, Southern Wyoming, and Western Nebraska. Managing data across such a wide field of locations is complex.
"When somebody asks for a certain room type or category type, I can pull up that information, run a report, and have everything formatted in five or 10 minutes.”
THE ROOTS OF IMPLEMENTATION
When we first spoke with Michael DuLaney, the BIM Manager for UCHealth, in early 2021, he set the scene for what prompted the initial investment in Autodesk and Archibus.
The facility data UCHealth relies on for decision-making and reporting was once housed across three regions within three separate servers. While this division scattered facility data and made it hard to find, manually compiled spreadsheet data further complicated management of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) reporting, employee spaces, and office moves.
Requests were time-intensive to fulfill and prone to error, and with the ever-evolving nature of facility demands, the spreadsheet management system became a seemingly nonviable option. With the goal of centralizing facility data, UCHealth made the decision to move from Autodesk AutoCAD® to Autodesk Revit — where deliverables from their architects lived — and combine this new BIM software with Archibus to bridge the space management gap.
CONNECTING BIM & FACILITIES DATA
With limitations on the number of Revit user licenses and the time that would need to be spent training staff, UCHealth wanted to find a way to let non-Revit users take advantage of the software’s abundance of data. That’s where Archibus comes into the picture. By implementing Archibus Space Inventory, Occupancy, and Smart Client Extension for Revit, UCHealth can now tie selected building information from Revit with enterprise databases that account for space, equipment, asset, and portfolio inventories across multiple facilities.
SMARTER FACILITY DECISIONS THROUGH UNIFIED DESIGN & OPERATIONS DATA
UCHealth has already experienced the benefits of integrating Autodesk and Archibus. And with Autodesk’s latest investment in iOffice + SpaceIQ, building owners and operators have an even more seamless way to enable scalability, accelerate deployment, boost productivity, and deliver meaningful results.
You’ll have the tools you need to keep facilities efficient, reduce costs, and ensure employee satisfaction — in a time when all of these variables are top of mind.
REASONS FOR IMPLEMENTING
“UCHealth is divided into three regions, each with its own information server, which makes building information difficult to find,” said Michael DuLaney, BIM Manager for UCHealth. “Any requests for information consumed a lot of time in finding the data and it was difficult to verify as up-to-date and accurate.”
When the legacy client server license expired, DuLaney seized the opportunity to upgrade to a web-based license. He needed a single system that could streamline and centralize data from all UCHealth locations. Using that information, DuLaney hoped to improve reporting, better manage employee spaces, and implement a process for enterprise move management.
AUTO-CALCULATIONS REDUCE CMS REPORTING ERRORS AND LABOR TIME REQUIRED TO ANALYZE DATA
To improve report accuracy and reduce time waste, UCHealth implemented Archibus Space Inventory, Occupancy, and Smart Client Extension for Revit®.
One thing no healthcare organization wants to do is send inaccurate information to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Under the old system, DuLaney used spreadsheets and AutoCAD® output to generate the compliance reports required by CMS. It was labor-intensive and reports were prone to errors or outdated information.
With programming developed by Archibus Solution Center – Research Triangle and the Archibus Smart Client Extension for Revit, DuLaney can auto-calculate data for CMS reports, saving countless hours of manual compilations
and ensuring the data is accurate and up-to-date. Now the base data stored locally in Revit —which is only available to Revit users—is linked in Archibus. Additional data can be appended to the existing data and any Archibus user can access the web-based data. He also cut response times for information requests from hours to minutes.
“We needed a tool with a number of applications that can be tailored for our needs,” he said, “and it’s ideal for the applications to be accessed using mobile devices.”
Facilities entered in Archibus
Facilities backed by BIM
TOP BENEFITS GAINED
DYNAMIC SPACE PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT WITH BUILDING INFORMATION MODELS (BIM) AUTODESK REVIT® INTEGRATION
Access and ease-of-use were key to UCHealth migrating to Archibus. The platform’s ability to integrate with myriad programs and add-ons allowed DuLaney to move away from AutoCAD for polylining. The Smart Client Extension for Revit auto-calculates room areas so the only required polylining is for internal and external square footages.
“Our legacy plans were all in AutoCAD and deliverables from our architects are now in Revit,” DuLaney said. “We used to update the polyline for every change in AutoCAD. Now, the calculations are done automatically, which saves countless hours and increases productivity.”
UCHealth isn’t stopping there. DuLaney and team are implementing Archibus Asset Management to track clinical furnishings and installing Archibus Moves for simple, single-person relocations to multi-phased moves integrated with construction.
“Health care organizations must be nimble and responsive,” DuLaney said. “With Archibus, we now have one system to manage data that once was spread across several regions and housed in multiple spreadsheets.”

Former Clay County teacher pleads not guilty
CLAY COUNTY, Fla. -- A local former elementary accused of having sex with a teen pleaded not guilty in court Tuesday.
According to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, 40-year-old Kimberly H. Brody had sex with a teen in a pickup truck in a cul-de-sac off Westland Oaks Drive earlier this month.
Police said the minor told them he and Brody were having sex when police arrived and interrupted them.
Brody resigned as a second grade teacher from W.E. Cherry Elementary on Jan. 15.
The court ordered a motion to force body material samples for Brody.
Brody's next pretrial hearing is at 9 a.m. on Feb. 19.
According to court records, Brody is out on a $50,003 bond.
