Daughter saves mum from domestic violence by pretending to order pizza
by Sky News(SKY NEWS) – A woman has been saved from a domestic violence situation thanks to her quick-thinking daughter.
The daughter, knowing that phoning for help could anger her mother’s attacker further, pretended to be ordering a pizza after dialling 911.
She told the operator: “I would like to order a pizza.”
At first, dispatcher Tim Teneyck, who takes anything from a handful to hundreds of calls a day, replied: “This is the wrong number to call for a pizza.”
But the daughter – who reports suggest is 38 – was insistent: “No, no, no… you’re not understanding.”
Mr Teneyck realised what was happening and said: “I’m getting you now, I got it.”
He continued: “Is the other guy still there?”
The daughter replied: “Yep, I need a large pizza.”
Mr Teneyck asked: “Alright, how about medical? You need medical?”
“No, with pepperoni,” was the reply.
“Alright, we’ll get ’em going,” Mr Teneyck said, as police headed to the home to help. He also instructed them to turn their sirens off before they arrived.
It was 14 years of experience that helped Mr Teneyck pick up on the caller’s situation.
He said: “I put it together after she said the second time she was really sticking to her pizza story, so I knew there was something else going on.
“It’s not really a big deal, it’s what we do every day. Yeah, it’s a little bit outside the normal but not too far out where every other dispatcher can’t do it.”
Oregon Police Chief Michael Navarre told NBC: “I’ve been in law enforcement for 42 years and I’ve never heard of a person calling up and ordering a pizza to get police response.”
He said that he hoped victims could use the example in addition to other tools that could help them contact police without risking their lives.
“So what they do is they teach people to come up with a code word and share that code word with one or two people that are close to them – neighbours, friends, relatives – so that when they are allowed to make a call but not to the police, they can use that code word.”
Mr Teneyck told the Toledo Blade that he worries exposure of the pizza ruse will alert offenders, so victims in danger should simply call and lay the phone down in a position where dispatchers can listen in and start help that way.
Never hang up, if you can help it, he said.
“The best thing to do is just have an open phone line and say as much as you can – address and names – until we can figure it all out,” he said.
The attacker was arrested and faces a domestic violence charge.

Tottenham appoint Jose Mourinho as new manager on three-and-a-half year deal
The former Chelsea and Manchester United boss has taken over from Mauricio Pochettino
by Mark Jones, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/mark-jones/Jose Mourinho is the new Tottenham Hotspur manager.
The former Chelsea and Manchester United boss has taken over in North London on a three-and-a-half year deal after Mauricio Pochettino was sensationally sacked on Tuesday evening.
Mourinho has been out of work since leaving United in December, and his representatives held positive talks with Spurs on Tuesday following the sacking of the Argentinean.
Tottenham are currently 14th in the Premier League, and take on West Ham this weekend.
Pochettino was sacked after a disjointed start to the season that has seen seen Spurs stutter since reaching June's Champions League final, which they lost to Liverpool .
A Spurs statement read: "We are delighted to announce the appointment of Jose Mourinho as Head Coach on a contract that runs until the end of the 2022/23 season.
"Jose is one of the world’s most accomplished managers having won 25 senior trophies.
"He is renowned for his tactical prowess and has managed FC Porto, Inter Milan, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Manchester United.
"He has won a domestic title in a record four different countries (Portugal, England, Italy and Spain) and is one of only three managers to have won the UEFA Champions League twice with two clubs, FC Porto in 2004 and Inter Milan in 2010.
"He is also a three-time Premier League Champion with Chelsea (2005, 2006, 2015)."
Chairman Daniel Levy added: “In Jose we have one of the most successful managers in football. He has a wealth of experience, can inspire teams and is a great tactician.
!He has won honours at every club he has coached. We believe he will bring energy and belief to the dressing room.”
Mourinho said: “I am excited to be joining a Club with such a great heritage and such passionate supporters.
"The quality in both the squad and the academy excites me. Working with these players is what has attracted me."
Spurs sacked Pochettino on Tuesday, with Levy saying: “Mauricio and his coaching staff will always be part of our history.
"I have the utmost admiration for the manner in which he dealt with the difficult times away from a home ground whilst we built the new stadium and for the warmth and positivity he brought to us.
"I should like to thank him and his coaching staff for all they have contributed. They will always be welcome here.
“We have a talented squad. We need to re-energise and look to deliver a positive season for our supporters.”

Since the "valid until" field in a ticket is necessarily in absolute time (UNIX timestamp), the clocks of the ticket-generating login server and the ticket-verifying web servers need to be more or less in sync. The longer the ticket lifetime, the less important this becomes. It's generally good practice to keep your servers' time synchronized (using NTP, for example).
Download the source code for the latest version of mod_auth_pubtkt here.
Decompress the downloaded archive and run the included "configure" script, specifying the path to apxs if necessary (use where apxs
to find it). The Apache version should be detected automatically (but note that the configure/make scripts haven't been tested under anything but FreeBSD and Mac OS X):
# tar xzfv mod_auth_pubtkt-0.x.tar.gz # cd mod_auth_pubtkt-0.x # ./configure # make # make install
The source tarball, which you can download in the Unix section above, also contains pre-compiled modules for Apache 2.0 and 2.2 (in the "bin" subdirectory):
Decompress the downloaded archive and copy the relevant module for the version of Apache you are using into the "modules" directory inside your Apache program directory, then follow the instructions below (which apply both to Unix and Windows machines). Make sure that you use an Apache version that is bundled with OpenSSL (even if you don't use HTTPS), as mod_auth_pubtkt needs it.
Note: Windows binaries for OpenSSL (you'll need the command-line openssl.exe to generate a key pair) can be found at http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html.
See the section below for a discussion on whether to use DSA or RSA.
# openssl dsaparam -out dsaparam.pem 1024 # openssl gendsa -out privkey.pem dsaparam.pem # openssl dsa -in privkey.pem -out pubkey.pem -pubout
The dsaparam.pem file is not needed anymore after key generation and can safely be deleted.
# openssl genrsa -out privkey.pem 1024 # openssl rsa -in privkey.pem -out pubkey.pem -pubout
First of all, make sure that the module is loaded:
LoadModule auth_pubtkt_module libexec/apache/mod_auth_pubtkt.so AddModule mod_auth_pubtkt.c # Apache 1.3 only
Ensure that mod_authz_user is loaded/enabled as well.
Here's a simple VirtualHost configuration with mod_auth_pubtkt as a starting point; the configuration directives are explained below.
Note that the AuthType mod_auth_pubtkt statement is required!
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName myserver.mydomain.com DocumentRoot /path/to/my/htdocs TKTAuthPublicKey /etc/apache2/tkt_pubkey.pem <Directory /path/to/my/htdocs> Order Allow,Deny Allow from all AuthType mod_auth_pubtkt TKTAuthLoginURL https://sso.mydomain.com/login TKTAuthTimeoutURL https://sso.mydomain.com/login?timeout=1 TKTAuthUnauthURL https://sso.mydomain.com/login?unauth=1 TKTAuthToken "myserver" require valid-user </Directory> </VirtualHost>

Authentication tickets to be processed by mod_auth_pubtkt are composed of key/value pairs, with keys and values separated by '=' and individual key/value pairs separated by semicolons (';'). The following keys are defined; mod_auth_pubtkt silently ignores unknown keys:
Here's an example of how a real (DSA) ticket looks:
uid=mkasper;cip=<IP_ADDRESS>;validuntil=1201383542;tokens=foo,bar;udata=mydata; sig=MC0CFDkCxODPml+cEvAuO+o5w7jcvv/UAhUAg/Z2vSIjpRhIDhvu7UXQLuQwSCF=
The ticket string is saved URL-encoded in a domain cookie, usually named auth_pubtkt
, but this can be changed (using the TKTAuthCookieName
directive).
If you would like to use a custom header instead of a cookie (or want to use both), see the TKTAuthHeader
directive.
An example implementation of a login/ticket generating script in PHP is provided with the distribution (in the php-login
subdirectory). It uses a simple flat-file user database by default, but can easily be extended to support LDAP (e.g. using adLDAP), RADIUS and other authentication methods.
The ticket-generating (and verifying) functions are in pubtkt.inc
. They use the OpenSSL command-line binary directly, for two reasons:
For Perl users, a module and example CGI script are provided in the perl-login
subdirectory of the distribution.
If you use Ruby, there's a gem created by Matt Haynes that helps with generating tickets.
For Python users, Andrey Plotnikov has created a module for generating tickets.
For digital signatures, two public-key schemes are commonly used: RSA and DSA. This module supports both, but you need to choose one over the other. Put simply, and assuming that both offer the same security at similar key sizes, it's mostly a decision between speed and signature (ticket/cookie) length.
From a performance point of view, RSA is the clear winner, as each ticket only needs to be signed once, but usually verified many times on different servers. However, note that mod_auth_pubtkt caches tickets, so the verification only needs to be done once per server process and ticket (and not once per request).
If ticket size matters to you more than speed, then DSA is the better choice; otherwise, you're probably better off using RSA. In the end, it's mostly down to "religious" issues or what you're already using in your company.
# echo -n "uid=foobar;validuntil=123456789;tokens=;udata=" \ | openssl dgst -dss1 -sign privkey.pem \ | openssl enc -base64 -A
Use -dss1
for DSA, and -sha1
for RSA.
Strip the signature off the ticket and Base64-decode it into a temporary file:
# echo "MC0CFQC6c....=" | openssl enc -d -base64 -A > sig.bin
Pipe the ticket value through openssl to verify the signature using the public key in pubkey.pem:
# echo "uid=foobar;validuntil=123456789;tokens=;udata=" \ | openssl dgst -dss1 -verify pubkey.pem -signature sig.bin
Note that if rogue servers under your domain are a concern, the domain cookies used by mod_auth_pubtkt may pose a problem, since a rogue server can steal a legitimate user's ticket. This can be mitigated by marking the ticket cookie as "secure", so that it is only transported via HTTPS, which means that only servers with a valid SSL certificate for your domain can see the user's ticket (unless the user overrides security warnings in the browser). Also, including the client IP address in the ticket (as is recommended whenever possible) makes it harder to use a stolen ticket.
Another way to solve this would be to change the login server to check the "back" URL and, instead of issuing cookies directly, include the ticket in the redirect back to the web server with the desired resource, which can then install the ticket as a cookie under its own server name. This would require adding support for parsing tickets in GET parameters to mod_auth_pubtkt (could be backported from mod_auth_tkt). Also, the login server would need to keep a copy of the ticket stored in a cookie under its own server name so that the user only has to log in once, of course. Finally, since there would now be a cookie for each server, it would be much more difficult to properly log out (without closing the browser).

Schedutron is a site by ΩF:∅ where multiple people can easily choose a time for a meeting or event to occur. People all over the globe can choose a range of times in their local timezone. The site then takes all of this into account and produces a list of suggestions for times that will best suit everyone. It should also warn people of any conflicts; say person A has a time range that is not very convenient for the majority, or there are no overlapping time ranges which mean there is no common time. Ultimately one of the meeting coordinators takes these suggestions into account and sets up the meeting.
The site should be made as simple as possible, so that people aren't forced to log in to use the services. Here is how this works:
First, the meeting coordinator goes to the Schedutron site to plan a meeting. They will prompted to enter their email address so that a link will be emailed to them so they can later change their time/manage things. At that point the email is sent. They are also asked to give themselves names/usernames/labels. Everyone else will see the labels.
Next, they then copy links around to another people by chat/irc/however they please. They then click the link and are prompted to enter their own email and username/label. Now the system has all the people together by email.
The coordinators first choose a date range where the meeting can take place in. Then along with everyone else, they choose the times within the range that they can meet. The system calculates the best times in real time. The coordinators make a decision based off of this info (and optionally the DISQUS comments from other people) and choose an ultimate time they want to have the meeting. They are asked for a comfirmation. Once they submit the time, everyone is emailed about the meeting date and time.
If at any time the coordinators change their minds, they can do so, and everyone else is emailed about the change of plans.
The user interface is made as simple as possible. The front page of the site will have a large button or link that says "Plan a meeting!".
Choosing the times should be simple and clear to use. A slider across the span of a week can be used. In real-time, they can see what other people are putting as a layer underneath. The times that are selected will be brightest. The system calculates the best times in real time in a sidebar.
The site should definitely be well-designed and pleasing to the eye.
The time slider can be decorated, subtly, so that in the area of the slider which is night, we see stars and a moon, like the night sky. As the slider moves towards the right near the morning, we see colors like a sunrise. Closer to noon the sky is a sky blue color and we may even see a sun and tree and some birds in the air. The the sky gets to be a dark blue near the evening and returns to the dark blue with stars.
We need a robot mascot.
Some technologies we can incorporate are DISQUS for comments, and Google Calendar so the event can be synched automatically to there for Google users. We are using Google AppEngine as our platform. We will definitely use SSL by default since we want to respect the users privacy and keep their data safe. We can use Varnish to cache static parts of the site. For the database, we'll use BigTable if we're on GAE and Cassandra otherwise.
We will need to convert for Cassandra or BigTable. Example filled struct:
meetings db [
0 {
# Whether or not meeting is a premium meeting
premium:
false
# Used for pruning meetings (max-age of 1 year I guess)
last-activity:
2011-4-25
# The date that the coordinators eventually choose. When set, everyone is notified
chosen-date:
null
# Corresponds to participants who will be treated as coordinators
coordinators: [
0, 1
]
# Ranges that the coordinators choose for everyone to blahblah I can't word this
ranges: [
[2011-4-15, 2011-4-25]
[1337-6-09, 1337-6-29]
]
# List of all people (emails) that are involved in selecting time ranges
participants: [
0 "sephr@oftn"
1 "eboyjr@oftn"
2<EMAIL_ADDRESS>3<EMAIL_ADDRESS>4<EMAIL_ADDRESS>]
# Special names that a person chooses for himself or a coordinator
labels: [
0 "sephr"
1 "eboyjr"
2 "joe"
3 null
4 null # they can be left blank and we just display email address
]
# Selected time ranges that person will be able to attend meeting
times: [
0 [
[2011-4-16, 11:30, 15:00]
[2011-4-20, 01:00, 05:00]
]
1-4 [ etc. ]
]
}
]
First, each person uses a simple slider-like interface to choose time ranges that they will be able to meet. People will be able to select time ranges for a whole week period starting from the current date.
A time in the selection represents a 1 and all other times are 0. These numbers are added up to create a total for each column (hour).
Obviously the numbers that are highest represent the best time. Simple enough.
Given `times` is an array of range values (date ranges)
Let `C equal 0 # This is the value of intersections set as list is traversed
Let `M equal 0 # Maximum value of intersections
Let `T equal ∅
Let `R equal ∅
For each time range in `times`:
Append start time to `T as start time
Append end time to `T as end time
Sort `T by its time value
For each value in `T:
If value is start time:
Increase `C by one
If `C > `M:
Let `M equal `C
Reset `R to ∅
Append value to `R as start of range
Else (value is end time):
If `C equals `M
Append value to `R as end of range
Decrease `C by one
If `C is not 0:
Produce error... Number of range-starts does not equal range-ends
# Ranges are now in `R
schedutron-salt = {secret binary blob} meeting-id = base36([meeting id from table]) key = base36(Skein(email + meeting-id + schedutron-salt)) max-failed-attempts-per-hour = 14 rand-key = base36(random key)
Public invitations (can generate many of them and redact any of them later, along with people who used them):
https://schedutron.com/meeting/(meeting-id)/S(rand-key)
Private invitations:
https://schedutron.com/meeting/(meeting-id)/(key)
Coordinators should be able to invite people to the meeting as easy as copying a "sharing" link. Whoever clicks on the public invitation link is invited. They are prompted to enter their email address so they receive the private link to use to re-enter the site.
In case a random troll clicks on the link by mistake, the coordinators have the power to remove anyone from the group.


Trump lashes out at Iran for shutting down internet
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Donald Trump says Iran is so “unstable” that the Iranian government has shut down the internet so Iranians cannot disclose what he says is the “tremendous violence” occurring in the country.
Trump tweeted Thursday that the Iranian government wants “ZERO transparency” and believes that by shutting down the internet the rest of the world will not find out about the “death and tragedy that the Iranian Regime is causing!”
Recent violence was triggered by Iran’s raising the minimum price for gasoline by 50%. The internet has been blocked since Saturday.
Iran isn’t saying how many people have been killed, injured or arrested in the unrest.
Amnesty International estimates at least 106 people have been killed with the actual death toll much higher.

Tue Dec 8 10:12:46 CET 2015
Dear all,
I am very proud that Gecode had a milestone birthday on Sunday: Gecode is
now 10 years old.
The best news is that Gecode is still healthy and has grown from an infant
to a rather strong teen! It started with measly 43 klocs (including 9 kloc
examples and tests) and has grown over the years to a healthy 268 kloc
(including 164 kloc examples and tests). It took 44 releases to get there
where a new major release to 5.0.0 is on its way. In the same time tutorial
documentation grew from 0 pages to over 500 pages!
Thank you very much to all users, contributors, and developers!
Christian

What is Selda?
Selda is an EDSL — an embedded domain-specific language — for defining, querying and modifying relational databases from Haskell. The same type-safe Selda query can be executed unmodified on either PostgreSQL or SQLite, making Selda ideal for prototyping as well as for taking the step from prototype to real application.
Through its monadic interface, Selda supports writing queries in a linear, natural style. The generated SQL code is guaranteed to be correct, type-safe and executable on all supported backends. With a minimalist approach to dependencies, Selda is lightweight enough to be suitable for inclusion in libraries as well as full applications. All non-essential features are optional, either through configuration flags or through separate add-on packages.
Features
- Type-safe queries, inserts, updates and deletes
- Monadic query language with general inner queries
- Seamless prepared statements
- Upserts, transactions and constraints
- Minimal dependencies
- In-process caching
- Backends for PostgreSQL and SQLite
- ...and much more!
Installation
$ cabal update $ cabal install selda-sqlite selda-postgresql
$ cabal update $ cabal install selda-sqlite $ cabal install selda-postgresql
By example
people :: Table (Text :*: Int :*: Maybe Text)
people = table "people"

Setting up seednode
If you have followed all steps, now you can create a seednode and be official part of our network. To do that you just need to edit following line in config.ini .
p2p-endpoint = <IP_ADDRESS>:60000
Please be sure, that your node is open for p2p traffic.


Strider uses your Heroku API key to perform the following tasks:
We will soon be adding additional functionality to automatically run db migrations on each push for projects using PostgreSQL. This will also be done via the Heroku API.
Strider will never access or modify your Heroku account or any of the associated Heroku apps without your permission. Nevertheless, for additional security, it is possible to limit Strider's access to only one app. To do this, create a new Heroku account (if you use gmail and your email addr is<EMAIL_ADDRESS>you can take advantage of gmails '+' functionality and use example+appname@gmail.com). Then add that account as a collaborator on your app via Heroku Toolbelt:
heroku sharing:add<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Now that you have added<EMAIL_ADDRESS>as a collaborator, login to Heroku as<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and use that API key with Strider.
See the Heroku doc Collaborating with Others for more information on Heroku's collaboration functionality.


Can the reviews posted on online services allow us to discover whether a businesses is failing or passing the inspections in Chicago? In this section, we are going to analyze if there is a relationship between the review rates on Google Local (Google Maps) and their corresponding inspections.
We have merged the Heath Inspection with Google’s Local dataset, extracted from the Recommender Systems Dataset by Julian McAuley, professor at the University of California, San Diego. After filtering the data, obtaining only the reviews businesses in Chicago and merging them with our dataset, we obtain around 1600 unique businesses for which we have reviews.
We then try to find relationships between the businesses average review rate and their probability of passing an inspections (calculated from the Health Inspection Dataset), as well as the number of reviews.
To analyze the possible relationships, we study several correlations. All of them yield irrelevant correlations between the variables considered. The following table shows highest correlation (Spearman) obtained:
In addition, we also inspect the variables visually. As expected, the variables do not seem to have a significant correlation. The following plot proves this point.
Thus, we cannot find a connection between Google Local reviews and the posibility of passing or failing an inspection. Both visual inspection and numeric values have failed to find any relation.
Then, we can say the number rating of a business on Google does not seem to be correlated with its number of failed/passed inpspections. Does this mean that users do not really care about the health conditions of a businesses where they go? Probably they do not have the chance to go behind the scene and therefore they cannot know the true conditions of the businesses.
In this analysis, we do need to highlight that the number of overlapping businesses between the Google dataset and Health Inspection is small (~1600), with a heavy-tailed distribution on the number of reviews. Therefore, we deduce that a dataset of reviews with more up-to-date reviews and more businneses in both datasets could yield different results.


Woohooo… I have my stats! The ones that everyone is waiting for. I have mine. Now. And it’s clearly geared towards a site which wants to track conversion, but for that it rocks big time. So for all those that just want stats on their blog, stick with StatCounter for now. If you are looking to going deeper and really want to understand your traffic and possibly make some money with your site, check these things out as examples of what the system is capable of:
You can for example look at your referring sources, and then see what the Lifetime Value from that source to-date is:
Or you can check the location where users come from and then see what your average $ amount per Visit is for that location.
I still have to dig down deeper into the stats and push it on to some sites that really need to know about conversions, but for now, it looks like a very nice tool. If you are looking for your real referrers, check the Marketing Optimization -> Marketing Campaign Results -> Referrer Conversion. There is lots to find out if you just wonder around a bit.

A breakdown of the Ohio University Board of Trustees
Published March 9, 2023
Correction appended.
The Ohio University Board of Trustees serve as OU's governing body, making some of the university's most transformative and monumental decisions.
The Board of Trustees' decisions includes everything from tuition costs to holding the president of OU accountable. Its role is essential to keep OU. Although the Board has existed at OU since its conception, it is not commonly understood in depth by those most affected by its decisions.
According to the Board of Trustees' website, Manasseh Cutler proposed that a university be governed by a Board of Trustees in 1800. The first Board of Trustee members were appointed in 1802 with the establishment of American Western University, and the first meetings were carried out henceforth. By 1804, the Ohio General Assembly passed an act for the university's corporate and political body to be led by the governor of Ohio, the president and vice president of the university and 10 to 15 member trustees.
Building the trustees
Now, the Board of Trustees consists of 15 members, with nine voting trustees, two national trustees, one regional trustee, two student trustees and one Alumni Association representative. Executive Secretary David Moore serves as an officer to the Board; he is also a professor of educational studies at the Gladys W. and David H. Patton College of Education.
"(The governor's office is) trying to make a group of people—a citizen group of people who have enough general background and from society to make some helpful decisions for the university, but they're not academics," Moore said.
The current trustees and the OU president can make suggestions to the governor of Ohio, but it is up to him or her—with the advice of the Ohio Senate—to appoint trustees. Anyone can apply to be an OU Board of Trustees member on the Ohio governor's website. These individuals go through a formal application process before being appointed by the governor. The terms are staggered to ensure a revolving door on the Board.
The nine voting trustees serve nine-year terms and are appointed by the governor. They must wait four years before applying for re-election after their term. All of these trustees must live in Ohio and five must be OU alum. Currently, eight of the nine voting trustees are alumni. The voting trustees vote on resolutions, while the other six serve as a sounding board alongside the OU president.
Two of the six are national trustees who do not have to live in Ohio; they serve three-year terms. One is a regional trustee—a new role established last year—from one of the counties where OU has a presence. The regional trustee also serves a three-year term. One is an Alumni Association representative, its current president. This term goes in accordance with the association's bylaws. Lastly, two are student trustees who are elected in two-year terms. The OU Student Senate leads a nominating process and presents five nominees to the president's office, which are then referred to the governor for selection.
Each trustee is assigned to serve on two subcommittees while on the Board. The chair of the Board, who is elected by the Board annually, will assign committee chairmanships. There are four subcommittees: Academics and Student Success, Resources, Facilities and Affordability, Audit and Risk Management and Governance and Compensation.
There is also an executive committee that meets when emergency decisions need to be made quickly. This committee comprises the chair, vice chair, chair of resources and chair of academics.
The trustees and the university
Once in their roles, the Board members may speak with community and university entities to make judgments and decisions. Still, the university's president acts as their main point of contact with OU.
"The trustees and the president work together to try to figure it out. Ultimately, the trustees are the president's boss," Moore said. "A successful president isn't going to resist a group of trustees and a consensus of the trustees to do something, if they really want it … (The president) can certainly advise them and say, hey, here's the challenges of doing that."
The trustees serve as a check for the president to ensure he or she is doing their job effectively, from adhering to the institution's values to carrying out university plans and functions. In an email, current OU President Hugh Sherman said that he's enjoyed working with the trustees and has appreciated their support and friendship over the past two years.
"Our trustees bring together a wide range of experiences and perspectives as students, alumni, community members, business leaders and much more," President Sherman said in an email. "Our trustees spend a lot of time and care deeply about our students, staff and faculty."
While the Board of Trustees is meeting on campus, the university tries to maximize its contact with other groups, Moore said. The trustees have previously met with student athletes and the athletic director. In another instance, they met with a team from the engineering college working with Intel.
One must follow a path of communication to interact with the Board. Anyone can suggest changing a policy, but when proposing ideas and presenting to the Board, everything goes to the president. Moore works with the trustees and the president's office to organize what information is needed and how it will be presented to the Board.
University Communications and Marketing takes the lead on many communications between the Board and the OU community. UCM acts as a brand strategist for OU, including developing and distributing OU Board of Trustees-focused communications. UCM provides news updates and on-site media support, including a media availability session for members of the press to engage with OU trustees and university leadership directly.
"Our team is proud to support OHIO's Board of Trustees and to serve all of our campus partners," Dan Pittman, the interim senior director of communications, said in an email. "We look forward to continuing to work collectively to help drive awareness, enhance visibility and deepen engagement across the OHIO community and beyond."
Carrying out duties
The standard trustee meetings happen for a week in January, April, June, August and October. Most happen in Athens, but the meetings occasionally occur at a branch or regional campus. During COVID-19, the meetings were online, but Moore said they're returning to in-person meetings again.
The agenda—sent out to the trustees two weeks before the meeting—sets what will be discussed. Sometimes items will pop up, but many meeting practices are standardized. For example, each April includes the Board's annual ethics training. The Board will have a budget and finance report at every meeting session. Additionally, a college will be invited to present to the trustees and showcase its school.
The changes made at OU come from the resolutions passed by the Board. This goes back to the committees, who will present to the full Board, introducing a topic and resolution. Recommendations may come from the president or other entities, but a trustee must introduce the resolutions. The last thing during a meeting session is voting; Moore said it usually occurs on Fridays. Minor decisions may only take one meeting, but the feedback process can change how long it takes to pass a resolution.
"There's some things that could take a lot longer. It just sort of depends on what it is," Moore said. "If there's any sort of controversy about what anyone says … generally that stops it before a vote and it is weakened, either pulled all together or it is reproduced at the next meeting."
The trustees are not compensated for their work and act as volunteers. When in session, lodging and meals are provided for the trustees, but travel expenses are not covered, Moore said.
When the Board isn't in session, its members are off living their lives, working or being with their families. When the trustees aren't in session, they have little correspondence. The chair of the Board of Trustees will most likely spend the most time out of session communicating with the president, Moore said.
The future and the past
The next Board of Trustee meetings will fall during the first week of April. They plan to vote for the Chair of the Board at this upcoming meeting. No other meeting details have been released at this time.

Everything from the Board of Trustees since 1949 has been recorded on the trustee's website through minutes and agendas. For a comprehensive deep dive into the decisions made by the Board of Trustees since 2019 and its impact at OU, here is a timeline of Post articles to learn more:

This file contains functions which interface interactively with the user through the serial console to perform some utility operations.
| uint8_t UARTGetc | ( | void | ) |
This function reads a byte entered on the serial console.
| int32_t UARTGetcNonBlocking | ( | uint8_t * | retChar | ) |
This function reads a byte entered on the serial console in a non-blocking way.
| retChar | - Entered byte typecasted as an unsigned character. |
| uint32_t UARTGetHexNum | ( | void | ) |
This function receives hexadecimal numbers entered on the serial console of the host machine.
| None |
| int32_t UARTGetNum | ( | void | ) |
This function reads the numbers typed on the serial console.
| uint32_t UARTGets | ( | char * | pRxBuffer, |
| int32_t | numBytesToRead | ||
| ) |
This function reads data from the receiver FIFO to a buffer in the receiver.
| pRxBuffer | Pointer to a buffer in the receiver. |
| numBytesToRead | The number of bytes the receiver buffer can hold. However, if the user wishes not to specify this parameter, he has freedom to do so. In that case, the user has to pass a negative value for this parameter. |
UARTGets(rxBuffer, -2): This reads characters from the receiver FIFO of UART until the occurence of a carriage return ('Enter' key on the keyboard pressed) or an ESC character.
UARTGets(rxBuffer, 12): This reads characters until 12 characters have been read or until an occurence of a carriage return or an ESC character, whichever occurs first.
| void UARTPrintf | ( | const char * | pcString, |
| ... | |||
| ) |
A simple UART based printf function supporting %c, %d, %p, %s, %u, %x, and %X.
| pcString | is the format string. |
| ... | are the optional arguments, which depend on the contents of the format string. |
This function is very similar to the C library fprintf()
function. All of its output will be sent to the UART. Only the following formatting characters are supported:
For %s, %d, %u, %p, %x, and %X, an optional number may reside between the % and the format character, which specifies the minimum number of characters to use for that value; if preceded by a 0 then the extra characters will be filled with zeros instead of spaces. For example, \%8d'' will use eight characters to print the decimal value with spaces added to reach eight;
%08d'' will use eight characters as well but will add zeroes instead of spaces.
The type of the arguments after pcString must match the requirements of the format string. For example, if an integer was passed where a string was expected, an error of some kind will most likely occur.
| void UARTPutc | ( | uint8_t | byteTx | ) |
This function writes a byte on the serial console.
| byteTx | The byte to be transmitted. |
| void UARTPutHexNum | ( | uint32_t | hexValue | ) |
This function is used to print hexadecimal numbers on the serial console.
| hexValue | The Hexadecimal number to be printed. |
| void UARTPutNum | ( | int32_t | value | ) |
This function prints the specified numbers(positive or negative) on the serial console.
| value | The number to be printed on the serial console. |
| uint32_t UARTPuts | ( | const char * | pTxBuffer, |
| int32_t | numBytesToWrite | ||
| ) |
This function writes data from a specified buffer onto the transmitter FIFO of UART.
| pTxBuffer | Pointer to a buffer in the transmitter. |
| numBytesToWrite | Number of bytes to be transmitted to the transmitter FIFO. The user has the freedom to not specify any valid value for this if he wants to print until the occurence of a NULL character. In this case, he has to pass a negative value as this parameter. |
| void UARTStdioInit | ( | void | ) |
This function initializes the specified UART instance for use for console operations.
| None. |
| void UARTWaitUntilTransmitComplete | ( | void | ) |
This function waits indefinitely until UART THR and Transmitter Shift Registers are empty.
| None. |
| int32_t UARTWrite | ( | const char * | pcBuf, |
| uint32_t | ulLen | ||
| ) |
Writes a string of characters to the UART output.
| pcBuf | points to a buffer containing the string to transmit. |
| ulLen | is the length of the string to transmit. |
This function will transmit the string to the UART output. The number of characters transmitted is determined by the ulLen parameter. This function does no interpretation or translation of any characters. Since the output is sent to a UART, any LF (/n) characters encountered will be replaced with a CRLF pair.
Besides using the ulLen parameter to stop transmitting the string, if a null character (0) is encountered, then no more characters will be transmitted and the function will return.
In non-buffered mode, this function is blocking and will not return until all the characters have been written to the output FIFO. In buffered mode, the characters are written to the UART transmit buffer and the call returns immediately. If insufficient space remains in the transmit buffer, additional characters are discarded.


Team guide, How to write accessibility acceptance criteria
Defining accessibility acceptance criteria is one of the practices that helps us meet the BBC Mobile Accessibility Guidelines.
Accessibility acceptance criteria defines conditions for factors:
- That play a key part in a component or feature being accessible
- That are at high risk of introducing an accessibility issue
Write accessibility acceptance criteria where relevant, for new components and iterations of existing components before the development phase.
Step by step
We’ll take you step by step through how to write accessibility acceptance criteria for a component or feature.
Step 1 - Accessibility design review confirmation
Confirm if the component or feature you are writing criteria for has been through an accessibility design review. If this hasn’t taken place, ask UX to carry out a review before proceeding to the next step.
Step 2 - Gather documentation
Gather the following documentation. This will form a basis for writing the accessibility acceptance criteria:
- Documented visual user experience
- Documented screen reader UX
If something is missing, ask UX for all the required documentation before proceeding to the next step.
Step 3 - List key and high risk factors
Hold a Three Amigos session, including a business analyst, designer and accessibility champion. Then use the gathered documentation to make a list of factors:
- That play a key part in a component or feature being accessible
- That are at high risk of introducing an accessibility issue
Alongside the gathered documentation, use guidelines to help you, such as:
- BBC Mobile Accessibility Guidelines
- BBC GEL technical docs
- WCAG
- ARIA landmarks examples
- ARIA states and properties
- ARIA roles
- WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices
Note, you don't need to identify and list everything that would make the component or feature accessible. Your aim isn’t to reproduce guidelines.
Example list of key and high risk factors for a component
Using an ordered list component as an example, the identified key and high risk factors could be:
- List semantics for screen reader users
- List item numbers must be announced to screen reader users
- List item numbers must meet colour contrast levels (the colour used is not from the brand palette)
- When in 2 columns or more, each column reads from top to bottom
Examples of factors that could play a key part in a component being accessible
- Different elements - Are there any elements in the visual user experience that you don't have in the screen reader UX? For example, an element that might not be relevant or make sense, or an element that doesn't add anything to the user experience, for a screen reader user.
- Extra elements - Are there any extra elements in the screen reader UX that you don’t have in the visual user experience? Such as heading that isn't needed in the visual UX.
- Content order - Is the content order in the screen reader UX different to that of the visual user experience? For example, in a menu, a close button 'X' could be is visually displayed on the top right as is best practise, though it may not provide the best screen reader UX to have this content announced before the menu content.
- Native semantic roles - In a well designed visual user experience, a sighted user should be able to identify elements and their semantic roles along with any expected behaviours by simply looking at them. For example, when viewing an article, you can usually identify text that has a semantic role of heading because the font size of it is larger than that of surrounding text. For screen reader users you need to convey this in another way, for web content primarily by using semantic HTML elements.
- Announced content - In addition to the text content in the visual user experience, is there any extra text that should be announced to screen reader users? For example, to provide context, which might be obvious or not relevant in the visual user experience. Or text alternatives for images and icons.
- UX improvements - Does the screen reader UX include any UX improvements such as additional semantic roles or affordances? For example, a 'More' button may have a downwards arrow icon. This is a visual clue for sighted users. Giving a hint to the behaviour of the button upon activation. Does non-visual UX provide a comparable affordance for the button behaviour? Also consider states for relevant actionable elements, changes to language and any additional functionality that improves the UX.
- Landmarks - Does the component include any landmarks? Or should the component sit within a specific landmark?
Examples of factors that could be at high risk of introducing an accessibility issue
- Colour contrast - A component’s use of colour could increase the risk of introducing an accessibility issue. Imagine dark grey text on a light grey background, this may meet colour contrast levels. A slight change of shade to one of the greys, is at high risk of reducing colour contrast to an unacceptable level.
- Focus order - Does focus need to be moved on the users behalf after an in-page interaction? For example, if a ‘Show more updates’ button is activated and new content is inserted above the button, by default focus would remain on the button after activation, this would be a frustrating experience for assistive technology users, who would then have to identify the start of the new content and navigate to it. In this example, to improve the UX, focus should be moved on the users behalf to the new content upon activation of the button.
- Headings - Correct use of headings within components is important for screen reader users. A missing heading or change to a heading level is at risk of breaking a component or page heading structure.
- Hidden content - If content isn't hidden correctly, it's at high risk of introducing an accessibility issue. An example of this could be a collapsed menu. The menu items could be available to screen reader users when they aren't visible if not hidden correctly.
Step 4 - Write the scenarios
Write scenarios for all identified factors. Use the Given, When, Then approach that is used in Behaviour Driven Development. This format will help everyone in the team understand.
Things to remember:
- Use guidelines and documentation - Extract relevant rules or information. If appropriate link back to guidelines for reference.
- Don’t specify a solution - If the component styling or assistive technology changes, the criteria should still apply. Engineers will consider the best solution to achieve the defined criteria.
- Be consistent - If you have defined similar criteria before, replicate the format.
Example scenarios for a component
Using the identified list of key and high risk factors from the example in the previous step, the scenarios for an ordered list component could be:
- Given I use a screen reader
- When navigating to an ordered list
- Then it should be announced as a list
- Given I use a screen reader
- When navigating to a list item in an ordered list
- Then the text should be announced
- And it should be prefixed by the announcement of the list number
- Given I am viewing an ordered list
- When the list item number is a different colour to the text
- Then the number must meet the colour contrast ratio of 4.1:5
- Given I am viewing an ordered list
- When the list items are displayed in 2 columns or more
- Then columns must be displayed from left to right
- And read from top to bottom
Step 5 - Make everyone aware
The criteria should be visible to all the team, including technical and non-technical team members.
Note, this guide uses the GDS approach to defining accessibility acceptance criteria as a basis, there are other ways you could do this. Back to top

FORREST GUMP A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1994 James Berardinelli
Rating (0 to 10): 9.0
Date Released: 7/6/94 Running Length: 2:22 Rated: PG-13 (Mature themes, implied sex, discreet nudity, language, violence)
Starring: Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Gary Sinise, Mykelti Williamson, Sally Field Director: Robert Zemeckis Producers: Wendy Finerman, Steve Tisch, and Steve Starkey Screenplay: Eric Roth based on the novel by Winston Groom Cinematography: Don Burgess Music: Alan Silvestri Released by Paramount Pictures
Ever find the grind of life getting you down? Is the day-to-day struggle threatening to drag you under? If so, there is a movie out there that can replenish your energy and refresh your outlook. FORREST GUMP has a perspective of life that is passionate, and an execution that's magical. This is a tonic for the weary of heart and spirit, and a rare gem in summer's crown. For those who feel that being set adrift in a season of action movies is like wandering into a desert, the oasis lies ahead.
Back when Tom Hanks' movie career was still relatively new, the actor made a film called BIG, which told the story of a young boy forced to grow up fast as a result of an ill-advised wish made at a carnival. In some ways, FORREST GUMP represents the antithesis of that earlier movie. In this case, the main character remains a child in heart and spirit, even as his body grows to maturity. Hanks is called upon yet again to play the innocent.
Forrest Gump (Hanks), named after a civil war hero, grows up in Greenbow, Alabama, where his mother (Sally Field) runs a boarding house. Although Forrest is a little "slow" (his IQ is 75, 5 below the state's definition of "normal"), his mental impairment doesn't seem to bother him, his mother, or his best (and only) friend Jenny Curran (played as an adult by Robin Wright). In fact, the naivete that comes through a limited understanding of the world around him gives Forrest a unique--and positive--perspective on life.
During the course of the next thirty years, Forrest becomes a star football player, a war hero, a successful businessman, and something of a pop icon. Through it all, however, there is one defining element in his life: his love for Jenny. She is never far from his thoughts, no matter what he's doing or where he is.
A trio of assets lift FORREST GUMP above the average "lifestory" drama: its optimism, freshness, and emotional honesty. Though the movie does not seek to reduce every member of the audience to tears, it has moments whose rare power comes from their simplicity. Equally as important is laughter, and FORREST GUMP has moments of humor strewn throughout.
During the 60s and 70s, no topic more inflamed the turbulent national consciousness than that of Vietnam and those who were sent overseas to fight. Forrest, as might be expected, has a unique view on his time spent there: "We took long walks and were always looking for this guy named Charlie." In this observation can be found the essence of the title character's nature.
Through the miracle of visual effects, Forrest gets to meet his fair share of famous people--George Wallace, Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon, and John Lennon. While the mixture of real footage of these notables with new images featuring Hanks is not a flawless process, the result is nevertheless reasonably effective.
In some ways, the tone of this film is reminiscent of that of FRIED GREEN TOMATOES. Story-wise, the two don't share much, but both have a similar "feel." The characters presented by both films possess a quality and depth which quickly endears them to the audience.
FORREST GUMP has several messages, some of which are less obvious than others. The most frequently recurring theme is an admonition not to give up on life. Why surrender when you don't know what lies ahead? By contrasting Forrest's life with the lives of those around him, and by showing how the passage of time brings solace to even the most embittered hearts, the movie underlines this point.
Tom Hanks won last year's Academy Award for PHILADELPHIA, but his performance here is more impressive. The Alabama accent may seem a little awkward at first, but it doesn't take long for the acting to dwarf the twang. The role is never overplayed, and Hanks has no difficulty creating a totally human character that is free of guile and deceit, and barely able to comprehend a concept like evil.
Robin Wright gives the best performance of her career, surpassing what she accomplished in THE PLAYBOYS. Looking and seeming like a younger Jessica Lange, she is believable as the object of Forrest's undying affection. Her interaction with Hanks is one of the movie's more subtle pleasures.
The real scene-stealer, however, is Gary Sinise. A renowned director and theatrical actor, Sinise is probably best known to film- goers for his portrayal of George in 1992's OF MICE AND MEN (which he also directed). In this movie, his Lieutenant Dan Taylor is multi- faceted and riveting. The passion and pain he brings to the middle portions of FORREST GUMP hold some of the weaker moments of the story together.
The soundtrack boasts a wide variety of sounds of the era--perhaps too wide a variety. Half the end credits seem to be music-related. Often, pop and rock songs can be useful in establishing a mood, but FORREST GUMP goes beyond that into the realm of overkill. There are sequences when the choice of music is inspired (the use of "Running on Empty" for Forrest's "long run" comes to mind), but the soundtrack could have used a little pruning.
Ultimately, however, any gripes that I have about FORREST GUMP are minor. This is a marvelous motion picture--a mint julep on a hot summer's afternoon. Don't get me wrong--I still love SPEED, but FORREST GUMP is an atypical Hollywood change-of-pace that's more than worth anyone's two-plus hours in a darkened theater.

display is CSS's most important property for controlling layout. Every element has a default display value depending on what type of element it is. The default for most elements is usually block or inline. A block element is often called a block-level element. An inline element is always just called an inline element.
A block-level element starts on a new line and stretches out to the left and right as far as it can
Html
Html5
An inline element can wrap some text inside a paragraph like this without disrupting the flow of that paragraph.
Another common display value is none. Some specialized elements such as script use this as their default. It is commonly used with JavaScript to hide and show elements without really deleting and recreating them. This is different from visibility. Setting display to none will render the page as though the element does not exist. visibility: hidden; will hide the element, but the element will still take up the space it would if it was fully visible.
visibility: hidden; Jednak elementem będzie nadal zajmują tyle samo miejsca co wcześniej

Hey Everyone,
On June 8th, 2011, Shazron Abdullah (@shazron) and Jesse MacFadyen(@purplecabbage) presented about PhoneGap Build and the PhoneGap ecosystem at the Bay Area Mobile Meetup.
Representatives from PayPal also presented on the PayPal plugin for PhoneGap iOS which was created by Shazron. Some attendees at the event had also created an Android version of this plugin.
Videos of these three talks have now been released. If you are interested in viewing them, please click on one of the following links: PhoneGap Ecosystem. PhoneGap Build Paypal Plugin for PhoneGap
The event had over 100 attendees. It was sponsored by Samsung who also did a presentation on PhoneGap for Samsung Bada. Video for that presentation has not been made available yet.

Cortex-A9 programming in Python¶
We show here an example of how to run Python with Pynq. Python is running exclusively on the ARM Cortex-A9 processor. This example, which is based on calculating the factors and primes of integer numbers, give us a sense of the performance available when running on a 650MHz ARM Cortex-A9 dual core processor running Linux.
The factors and primes example¶
Code is provided in the cell below for a function to calculate factors and primes. It contains some sample functions to calculate the factors and primes of integers. We will use three functions from the factors_and_primes module to demonstrate Python programming.

Next we will call the factorize() function to calculate the factors of an integer.
In [2]:
factorize(1066)
Out[2]:
[1, 2, 13, 26, 41, 82, 533, 1066]
The primes_between() function can tell us how many prime numbers there are in an integer range. Let’s try it for the interval 1 through 1066. We can also use one of Python’s built-in methods len() to count them all.
In [3]:
len(primes_between(1, 1066))
Out[3]:
180
Additionally, we can combine len() with another built-in method, sum(), to calculate the average of the 180 prime numbers.
In [4]:
primes_1066 = primes_between(1, 1066)
primes_1066_average = sum(primes_1066) / len(primes_1066)
primes_1066_average
Out[4]:
486.2055555555556
This result makes sense intuitively because prime numbers are known to become less frequent for larger number intervals. These examples demonstrate how Python treats functions as first-class objects so that functions may be passed as parameters to other functions. This is a key property of functional programming and demonstrates the power of Python.
In the next code snippet, we can use list comprehensions (a ‘Pythonic’ form of the map-filter-reduce template) to ‘mine’ the factors of 1066 to find those factors that end in the digit ‘3’.
In [5]:
primes_1066_ends3 = [x for x in primes_between(1, 1066) if str(x).endswith('3')]
primes_1066_ends3
Out[5]:
[3,
13,
23,
43,
53,
73,
83,
103,
113,
163,
173,
193,
223,
233,
263,
283,

This code tells Python to first convert each prime between 1 and 1066 to a string and then to return those numbers whose string representation end with the number ‘3’. It uses the built-in str() and endswith() methods to test each prime for inclusion in the list.
And because we really want to know what fraction of the 180 primes of 1066 end in a ‘3’, we can calculate ...
In [6]:
len(primes_1066_ends3) / len(primes_1066)
Out[6]:
0.25
These examples demonstrate how Python is a modern, multi-paradigmatic language. More simply, it continually integrates the best features of other leading languages, including functional programming constructs. Consider how many lines of code you would need to implement the list comprehension above in C and you get an appreciation of the power of productivity-layer languages. Higher levels of programming abstraction really do result in higher programmer productivity!
More intensive calculations¶
To stress the ARM processor a little more, we will run a script to determine the integer number, or numbers, that have the most factors between 1 and 1066, using the print_ints_with_most_factors() function from the factors_and_primes module.
In [7]:
print_ints_with_most_factors(1, 1066)
Between 1 and 1066 the number/s with the most factors:
840 ... with the following 32 factors:
[1,
2,
3,
4,
5,
6,
7,
8,
10,
12,
14,
15,
20,
21,
24,
28,
30,
35,
40,
42,
56,
60,
70,
84,
105,
120,
140,
168,
210,
280,
420,
840]
The prime number factors of 840 are:
[2, 3, 5, 7]
The ARM processor remains quite responsive. Running this for much larger numbers, say 50,000, will demonstrate noticeably slower responses as we would expect.

Pilot uninjured after plane gets tangled in power lines
by Alexandra Mae Jones, CTVNews.ca writerTORONTO -- A pilot had to be rescued in Minnesota after a single-engine plane became tangled in power lines, and got stuck hanging upside down by one wheel.
Scott County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release that they had received word shortly before 4 p.m. on Saturday that a plane had struck power lines in Louisville Township, which is located about 48 kilometres southwest of Minneapolis, Minn.
The press release said the plane was a “single-engine prop Piper Cub,” and that it had been travelling south before the collision with the power lines.
“Once the power line was de-energized, the pilot was rescued from the plane,” the statement said.
The pilot has been identified as 65-year-old Thomas Koskovich, of Shakopee, Minn. He was successfully extracted from the plane with no injuries.
Dramatic photos taken by the sheriff’s office show the plane completely flipped over, suspended in the air by seemingly just one wire.
“This incident could have been much worse,” said Sheriff Luke Hennen. “We are grateful the pilot was able to walk away without any injuries.”
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration will be investigating the crash.
