Our service this week will be live-streamed on Sunday at 11 am.
We are an open and affirming community of faith in Jesus Christ. At home in an urban neighborhood of many faiths, we acknowledge that we are not alone on the path to understanding God. In worship, study, and fellowship, we celebrate our Presbyterian roots and find joy in our diversity. We strive for the grace to love one another as we seek deeper understanding of life in the Spirit, working for justice and serving as stewards of God's wondrous creation.
We are a More Light congregation: "Following the risen Christ, and seeking to make the Church a true community of hospitality, the mission of More Light Presbyterians is the full participation of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people of faith in the life, ministry, and witness of the Presbyterian Church (USA)."
Inclusive Language: Words matter. Jesus Christ, the living Word, reached out to all people to bring all people into God's fold. The kingdom of God includes all types of people; therefore our language should reflect the inclusivity and equality among the people of God. To the end, when possible, we seek to eliminate the inherent bias of the English language towards the masculine gender without altering passages that reflect the historical situation of ancient patriarchal culture, out of which the Bible originated.
* Exciting news: we will be reopening for in-person worship on June 20! Stay tuned for details!
* Many thanks to Frank Davoli, Linda Davoli, Chuck Herrold, Kirk Howe, Jan Myers-Newbury, and Kathi Robinson-Dassel for being part of the service this week!

What She Spreads On Her Skin, Everyone Has at Home – But Nobody Uses It!
|The best thing you can see or smell in the morning is coffee. We all love coffee, and it has a lot of benefits. We can bet that you didn't know that you could use coffee in your household and for cleaning, even the coffee grounds can be used for make up routines.
The thing that we are leaving, once we drink our coffee and throw, can use to us for many purposes. Below, we have provide you some good tricks. You will be amazed. The best thing you can do with the thing that you used to throw in the garbage, is to place them on a baking paper, and let them dry completely.
The leftovers must be completely dry!
Most of the people don't know how they can use coffee, and to take advantage of all the goods that it offers.
In addition to this article we are going to present you the best usages of coffee:
Coffee grounds can be used for elimination of the cellulite:
Make a mixture of the ground and olive oil, and make a massage with that on your affected areas. Before the shower you will massage the places where you have cellulite. The massage must be done gently. Coffee is organic and natural, and it can exfoliate much better than any other substances that you are buying from the market.
Natural soap:
You can you as every ordinary soap, and coffee won't only clean your hands, but it will make the skin stronger and softer. Coffee has the antibacterial power, so you hands will be without bacteria.
Furthermore they will be soft, and better looking. The soft hands effect is reached because of the exfoliating power of the coffee.
Hair mask:
The coffee contains highly recommendable nutrients, and they will stimulate the hair growth. The hair will be with a lot of volume. This is especially good for colored hair. It will provide you radiant and vibrant hair color. This is the best option for dark-haired girls, because it won't reach the best effect on blondes.
Elimination of Under eye bags:
You need to make a mixture of dried coffee grounds and olive oil, and you can leave them to sit on the affected zones. Once you finish the process, you will wash your face. The results are fascinating. This process need to be repeated in order to get rid of the under eye bags once and for all.
Coffee for fridge odor.
The only thing you need to do is to put a cup full of coffee grounds in the pride. The coffee can and will absorb all the bad smell from the fridge.
Also you can use it for cleaning, if you apply the grounds on the sponge and clean the grill.
As abrasive:
You can clean pans on the exact same we as you used to clean the grill.
Ant repellent:
You can eliminate the bugs and insects with coffee grounds. Place them where you mostly have bugs, and the that is the solution.
Flea repellent:
Apply the coffee grounds on the dog's hair and massage gently.
The dog will relax. And it will smell perfectly,
You can do the same with cats . This is completely safe process, you will eliminate the flea and the pets can enjoy, simultaneously.
Against wasps
You need to collect the coffee in a jar, and then light it with one match. This will create condensation. This will keep you safe from wasps because, they hate the smell of burned coffee grounds. Wasps cannot stand this odor, that is why it will keep them far from you.
They act as natural fertilizer:
It is highly rich in nitrogen, potassium, and others which makes them great fertilizer.

Still undecided on what I'd want around it, I don't want just words, those are boring, thinking maybe a space scene, with the words as a negative space on the bottom or something. Still sort of just want it around my forearm boxed in black with the words as a negative. Maybe fading the box out some or doing a geometric thing on the edges. To hell with what my girlfriend thinks. She has a flower on her foot and is gonna lecture me on classiness
If you try to take all the steps at once, you'll fall over.
Though this be madness, yet there is method in't.

Dubai was abuzz with excitement as His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Second Deputy Ruler of Dubai and Chairman of the Dubai Media Council, officially opened the 30th Arabian Travel Market (ATM) on May 1st, 2023. The ATM, known as the Middle East's most prominent travel and tourism exhibition, is poised to deliver a dynamic platform for industry stakeholders to explore innovations in the realm of decarbonisation, aligning with its theme 'Working Towards Net Zero'.
Under the leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, the city has transformed into a crucial investment hub and launch pad for regional and global companies. Sheikh Ahmed highlighted Dubai's role as a significant player in stimulating global economy across various sectors, with an emphasis on tourism. The efforts of the private sector, a critical partner in Dubai's development initiatives, have helped establish a robust infrastructure and world-class hospitality services.
This year's ATM, held at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from May 1st-4th, boasts a 27 percent increase in exhibitor participation compared to the previous year. It's estimated to attract around 34,000 attendees and host over 2,000 exhibitors and representatives from more than 150 nations. The event presents a unique opportunity for international tourism professionals to forge new connections, exchange knowledge and ideas, and showcase innovations towards achieving net zero carbon emissions in the industry.
Sheikh Ahmed toured the exhibition floor, visiting various pavilions of foreign and Arab countries as well as global companies. He expressed his pleasure at welcoming such a diverse range of participants to the region's premier travel, tourism, and hospitality event. Among the pavilions he visited were those of Italy, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, and Hilton, as well as local departments such as DET, GDRFA-Dubai, and Emirates Airline. The first day of ATM 2023 also featured engaging sessions on the Global Stage, Travel Tech Stage, and the newly introduced Sustainability Hub, exploring themes such as sustainable travel, AI in enhancing customer experience, and achieving net positive hospitality.

I have been too nice these last few days. Here's something a little less bland:
From topplebush.com.
Look below for a nicer Christmas greeting.
The new rules give economic activity equal priority with preserving the ecological health of the forests in making management decisions and in potentially liberalizing caps on how much timber can be taken from a forest. Forest Service officials estimated the changes will cut its planning costs by 30 percent and will allow managers to finish what amount to zoning requirements for forest users in two to three years, instead of the nine or 10 years they sometimes take now.
The government will no longer require that its managers prepare an environmental impact analysis with each forest's management plan, or use numerical counts to ensure there are "viable populations" of fish and wildlife. The changes will reduce the number of required scientific reports and ask federal officials to focus on a forest's overall health, rather than the fate of individual species, when evaluating how best to protect local plants and animals.
"We're really in a new world," Collins said in an interview. "You've got to have different plans for different places, and you've got to have more dynamic plans."
Here's to all the Americans on both sides of this year's unusually peppy fights over the allowability of religious symbols on public property. This annual battle, in which the American Civil Liberties Union strives once more to make itself as popular as the Grinch, is over the part of the First Amendment that says the government cannot sponsor religion. I always liked what former Gov. Ann Richards said when informed there were demands that the large star on top of the state capitol come down. "Oh, I'd hate to see that happen," she drawled. "This could be the only chance we'll ever have to get three wise men in that building."
Feliz Navidad to all our immigrants, legal and otherwise – may La Migra be far away and tamales close at hand. By the way, there are some new legal rights groups that will go after the scum who hire you and then refuse to pay you. Joyeux Noel to all our friends in Canada, and please overlook the pifflebrains who keep insulting you.
Merry Christmas to Tonya Harding and to Nancy Kerrigan, to the Red Sox and to the Cards, and possibly even to George Steinbrenner. Here's to the Texas Legislature, about to convene once more, depriving many a village of its idiot. Here's to John Ashcroft, how we'll miss him – he was so sexy. A Cool Yule to all the jazzmen and their fans. And wishing a warm holiday to all the citizens with rings in their noses who find going out in subzero weather such a trial. And to those with tattoos, whatthehell.
The fight is a central theme of the contest to head the Democratic National Committee, particularly between two leading candidates: former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, who supports abortion rights, and former Indiana Rep. Tim Roemer, an abortion foe who argues that the party cannot rebound from its losses in the November election unless it shows more tolerance on one of society's most emotional conflicts.
Roemer is running with the encouragement of the party's two highest-ranking members of Congress, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco and incoming Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada. Dean, a former presidential candidate, is popular with the party's liberal wing.
If Roemer were to succeed Terry McAuliffe as Democratic chairman in the Feb. 10 vote, the party long viewed as the guardian of abortion rights would suddenly have two antiabortion advocates at its helm. Reid, too, opposes abortion and once voted for a nonbinding resolution opposing Roe vs. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion.
Party leaders say their support for preserving the landmark ruling will not change. But they are looking at ways to soften the hard line, such as promoting adoption and embracing parental notification requirements for minors and bans on late-term abortions. Their thinking reflects a sense among strategists that Democratic presidential nominee John F. Kerry and the party's congressional candidates lost votes because the GOP conveyed a more compelling message on social issues.
They stole the election and said it was about murals.
South African farmers who revealed all for a calendar to raise money for their farmers' association and local charities have proved popular pin-ups.
Within a day of publication all 1,000 copies were sold out, mainly to women.
"We're surprised by the demand. We've had to order another 6,000 copies," the photographer Daniel Blignaut said.
The Viljoeskorron farmers were initially camera shy, but in the end had great fun modelling their "backsides and body flab", he said.
2004 Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry will file today, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, papers in support of the Green Party/Libertarian Party recount effort. Specifically, Kerry will be filing a request for expedited discovery regarding Triad Systems voting machines, as well as a motion for a preservation order to protect any and all discovery and preserve any evidence on this matter.
Triad Systems has come under scrutiny recently after Sherole Eaton, deputy director of elections for Hocking County, swore out an affidavit in which she described her witnessing the tampering of electronic voting equipment by a Triad representative. Rep. John Conyers, the ranking minority member of the House Judiciary Committee, has requested an investigation into this matter by the FBI and the Hocking County prosecutor.
Truthout will have more on this specific Triad allegation later in the day.
While retaining the current income tax system, this option would eliminate the Alternative Minimum Tax, which was designed to make sure the rich paid their fair share of taxes but is now ensnaring more middle-income taxpayers. The proposal also would significantly expand opportunities for people to set up savings accounts where their investment earnings would be tax-free, something the administration has been pushing for two years.
Eliminating the AMT, which covered 3 million mostly wealthy taxpayers in 2004 but will raise the taxes of 23 million taxpayers by 2008, would cost the government an estimated $600 billion over 10 years.
To pay for that and the more generous savings accounts, the "least radical" proposal would eliminate the itemized deduction for state and local income taxes, while imposing a tax on Social Security benefits and employer-provided health care benefits.
"Bush Monkeys," a small acrylic on canvas by Chris Savido, created the stir last week at the Chelsea Market public space, leading the market's managers to close down the 60-piece show.
Animal Magazine, a quarterly arts publication that had organized the month-long show, said anonymous donors had paid for the picture to be posted on a giant digital billboard over the entrance to the Holland Tunnel, used by thousands of commuters traveling between Manhattan and New Jersey.
The original picture will be auctioned on eBay, with part of the proceeds donated to parents of U.S. soldiers wishing to supply their sons and daughters with body armor in Iraq.
Science fiction properly conceived, like all serious fiction, however funny, is a way of trying to describe what is in fact going on, what people actually do and feel, how people relate to everything else in this vast sack, this belly of the universe, this womb of things to be and tomb of things that were, this unending story.
To oppose something is to maintain it.
To light a candle is to cast a shadow.
What is love of ones country; is it hate of ones uncountry? Then it's not a good thing.
Detainees at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, were shackled to the floor in fetal positions for more than 24 hours at a time, left without food and water, and allowed to defecate on themselves, an FBI agent who said he witnessed such abuse reported in a memo to supervisors, according to documents released yesterday.
In memos over a two-year period that ended in August, FBI agents and officials also said that they witnessed the use of growling dogs at Guantanamo Bay to intimidate detainees -- contrary to previous statements by senior Defense Department officials -- and that one detainee was wrapped in an Israeli flag and bombarded with loud music in an apparent attempt to soften his resistance to interrogation.
In addition, several agents contended that military interrogators impersonated FBI agents, suggesting that the ruse was aimed in part at avoiding blame for any subsequent public allegations of abuse, according to memos between FBI officials.
Instead, FBI and Pentagon officials said, the order in question was signed by Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld in December 2002 and then revised four months later after complaints from military lawyers that he had authorized methods that violated international and domestic law.
In a Jan. 21, 2004, e-mail, an FBI agent wrote that "this technique [of impersonating an FBI agent], and all of those used in these scenarios, was approved by the DepSecDef," referring to Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul D. Wolfowitz.
Your bitterness and anger is not only consuming you but damaging many. Time to forgive all those people (your parents and authorities) you hate so much.
In San Diego, the No. 2 choice of the voters for the mayor's job may be headed to City Hall. Donna Frye, a write-in candidate, came within 2,108 votes of defeating Mayor Dick Murphy. But Ms. Frye's vote total does not include more than 5,500 ballots on which voters wrote her name, but failed to darken a bubble next to it. There can be no doubt that those voters, who would easily give Ms. Frye a majority, tried to vote for her, but were tripped up by poor ballot design. The voters' intent should be recognized.
In Ohio, where a recount of the presidential election is under way, it is becoming clear that as important as recounts are, they are not enough to ensure the integrity of our elections. Representative John Conyers Jr., a Democrat from Michigan, has charged that an employee of a company that makes vote-counting software used across the state may have tampered with one county's vote tabulator after the election to make the recount come out right. If people other than election officials have free access to the tabulation software, it can make a recount an empty gesture.
Time Magazine named President Bush as the 2004 "Person of the Year," for the second time. Time also named 17 people, one group of women, and a horse as "People Who Mattered." In addition to the cast of "Desperate Housewives," only two women were named as "People Who Mattered" – Nancy Reagan and Martha Stewart.
The Iranian Penal Code is very specific about the manner of execution and types of stones which should be used. Article 102 states that men will be buried up to their waists and women up to their breasts for the purpose of execution by stoning. Article 104 states, with reference to the penalty for adultery, that the stones used should "not be large enough to kill the person by one or two strikes, nor should they be so small that they could not be defined as stones".
The news follows reports of a 19-year old girl, "Leyla M", who has a mental age of eight, reportedly facing imminent execution for "morality-related" offences in Iran after being forced into prostitution by her mother as a child. According to a Tehran newspaper report of 28 November, she was sentenced to death by a court in the central Iranian city of Arak and the sentence has now been passed to the Supreme Court for confirmation.
Leyla M was reportedly sentenced to death on charges of "acts contrary to chastity" by controlling a brothel, having intercourse with blood relatives and giving birth to an illegitimate child. She is to be flogged before she is executed. She had apparently "confessed" to the charges.
Leyla was forced into prostitution by her mother when she was eight years old, according to the 28 November report, and was raped repeatedly thereafter. She gave birth to her first child when she was nine, and was sentenced to 100 lashes for prostitution at around the same time. At the age of 12, her family sold her to an Afghan man to become his "temporary wife".
His mother became her new pimp, "selling her body without her consent". At the age of 14 she became pregnant again, and received a further 100 lashes, after which she was moved to a maternity ward to give birth to twins. After this "temporary marriage", her family sold her again, to a 55-year-old man, married with two children, who had Leyla's customers come to his house.
Police have arrested four suspected poachers and recovered a baby mountain gorilla that was stolen from its family in the forests of neighboring Congo, a spokesman said Monday.
Police detained the men Saturday following a tip that they had smuggled the 3-year- old primate into the border district of Mutura, in Rwanda's northwestern Gisenyi province, said Dismas Rutaganira, who led the police operation.
The animal was hidden in a sack and was being taken to unknown buyers in Kenya, Rutaganira said.
The suspects said that the baby was stolen from gorillas accustomed to visits by humans in Congo, said Fidele Ruzigandekwe, head of the Rwanda Wildlife Agency.
After winning re-election and "reshaping the rules of politics to fit his 10-gallon-hat leadership style," President George Bush for the second time was chosen as Time magazine's Person of the Year.
The magazine's editors tapped Bush "for sharpening the debate until the choices bled, for reframing reality to match his design, for gambling his fortunes -- and ours -- on his faith in the power of leadership."
Time's 2004 Person of the Year package, on newsstands Monday, includes an Oval Office interview with Bush, an interview with his father, former President George H. W. Bush, and a profile of Bush's chief political adviser, Karl Rove.

We build websites of all shapes and sizes, from basic brochure sites to complex bespoke systems. All come with a Content Management System to put you in full control.
Web Applications
We love it when things get really serious. Integrating with other systems, business applications, ecommerce. We can turn your ideas into reality.
Think GPS but indoors. Bluetooth Low Energy beacons (iBeacons) are opening up a whole new world. We can help you with your beacon project.
Rapid prototyping
Do you have an idea for an app or website? Perhaps using iBeacons? Talk to us about testing it out with our rapid prototyping service.
Llama helped us to reimagine our old website to make it relevant to our present day services, adding a clean, fresh design with structured room booking process and live chat feature. Since they implemented the new website our room bookings have increased dramatically. The guys are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and the after service care is fantastic.
Tom WolfendenWebsite Development
It may not be as difficult or expensive as you think to get yourself a modern new website that works on PCs, tablets and mobile devices. If your requirements are straightforward a WordPress site may be the answer. There are thousands of quality themes to choose from – this minimises the amount of design and build you would need. For something a bit more bespoke we recommend Ruby on Rails. We have our in-house platform that is packed full of features, and has the flexibility to be extended to do whatever you need.
Web Applications
A web application is a computer program that delivers functionality over the web via a web browser. There is sometimes a fine line between what is a website and what is a web application. If there is some complex piece of functionality being delivered we would define that as a web application. A web application might also involve integration with other systems – pulling information out of one and passing it to the user, or another system using APIs (Application Programming Interface). If you have a complex requirement then our team of programmers would be delighted to help deliver it for you.
Beacon technology allows smartphones to be able to detect a user's location within a building. This then allows an application to push appropriate location-based content to the user. We have been experimenting and developing with beacons since Apple announced its support for iBeacons in iOS7. This has led to the production of our situate.io application, and to a proof of concept prototype with an international transport company. If you have ideas for how your business may be able to use this exciting new technology we'd be happy to help and advise.
Rapid Prototyping
Sometimes it can be useful to quickly develop an experimental website or mobile app without investing in a production-ready system. Perhaps you need to test out new technology, or try out an idea as a proof of concept. It could be to sell an idea internally within your organisation, or perhaps to gather feedback from a selection of trusted customers. We have the expertise and tools to be able to quickly turn an idea into something tangible.

In the ever-growing world of Duel Monsters, as duelists improve their skills and rise up the ranks, duels become increasingly complex. By adhering to strict rules, in addition to using and learning proven strategies, one can develop into a strong duelist. However, as a boy who loves inventions and discovering new possibilities, elementary school student Yuuga Oudou finds the current way of dueling predictable and rigid—in other words, boring.
Thus, he aims to craft a new path in dueling with his exhilarating new invention: Rush Duels. His ambition soon catches the attention of Tatsuhisa Kamijou, a fellow elementary school student, who brings him to a mysterious place in an attempt to discover the potential of the new system.
While Yuuga aims to implement Rush Duels as the new dueling standard and overthrow the conventions of the game, he opens the door to his ultimate goal—to make dueling exciting again.

Toyota hybrid cars have become rather popular in the recent years, namely because they protect the environment and prevent the emission of gasses and the pollution of the environment. If you are thinking of getting a Toyota hybrid car, here are some facts that might convince you to get one right away.
If you are worried that a hybrid car will not be particularly comfortable, then you are wrong. Today's hybrid cars are just as comfortable as conventional cars, and they have no difference when it comes to comfort. They can accelerate quickly and cruise on the highway with the same conformity and smoothness. It can also be considered an advantage that they are particularly quiet and you cannot even hear the engine running.
Rechargeable Battery
Toyota hybrid cars, like other hybrid cars as well, runs on a rechargeable battery which means that you will not be emitting gas or toxins. There is only the need to recharge your battery before you use your electric car. Even though some people are worried how much power a battery can hold and how long it takes for the battery to charge, we can tell you that with each generation of hybrid cars there parameters improve and it gets better and better each year.
Toyota As A Family Car
Toyota hybrid Prius is amazing as a family car not only because you will be able to use it for your family and to get everywhere, but also you are sending a positive message to your family and other people that you are interested in protecting the environment and making good choices. There are many family hybrid cars which you can use, but the mid size Toyota Prius which is a four-door hatchback is an amazing choice for any family.
So there you have it. If you want to send a message to your family and other families that the environment is important, you know what you have to do. Also, a hybrid car will allow you to save money on gas, have the same comfort and protect the environment.

Where has Rhology been trolling since we showed him the door? Well, he's currently being tiresome over at poor Abbie Smith's blog. The usual obfuscation, idiotic premises ("The consistent naturalist can't prove that he is not a brain in a vat."), goalpost shifting, hand-waving and tautologies ("Or perhaps you could prove that evidence is the best way to discover truth. I'd like some evidence for that claim." ...etc) presented as if they were bold challenges, followed by smarminess. His pattern is the same there as it was here: present a load of hopelessly inane questions and risible assertions, and when people point out how inane and risible they are, slip into smirking condescension that they're ha ha! avoiding answering you.
Poor ERV. Sure, her commenters are making mincemeat of the guy. But only a few of them have twigged that he's an intellectual poseur who isn't interested in answers, facts, or even genuine discussion, only in getting a rise out of atheists. And once he's done so, he does his little victory lap. Anyway, go have a look if you need a reminder of why the boy isn't welcome here any more.

Michael Keaton's Batsuit and George Reeves' Superman Suit Going to Auction
Today, fans are finally getting their shot to lay claim to two highly sought-after pieces of comic book memorabilia, with George Reeves' original Superman costume and the Batsuit worn by Michael Keaton during his stint as the Batman both up at auction until January 26. The bad news: you're going to have to part with at least tens of thousands of dollars if you want to get your mitts on that spandex.
The Hollywood Reporter states that Nate D. Sanders Auctions, an outfit specializing in pop-culture memorabilia and other collectibles, has set the opening bid on Superman's duds at a whopping $40,000, while Batman's customized armor will go for at least $35,000. The Superman getup, as the auction site's description indicates, comes with the signature cape, and two holes in the fabric through which a flying harness can be safely attached. The Bat-suit is even more tricked out: "Body of batsuit is in formed black rubber segments covered by the textured integral cape and cowl style mask, with long black leather gloves, boots and gold plastic belt and bat symbol. Original parts of the costume worn in the film are the cowl, cape and body; the gloves, belt, insignia and shoes are replicas for the display." It's the genuine article, though probably not completely equipped for crimefighting — as we all learned from the vigilante in hockey pads in The Dark Knight, imitations don't cut it when it comes to Batman-ing.
Though they'll probably end up in glass cases at Kevin Smith's poolhouse or something, it's neat to think that any of us (who also happen to be super-rich) could become the true Batman. Because that's the magic of the Caped Crusader — he's more than a suit. He's inside all of us.

Plain talk on what your professor wants
It's 2 a.m., and you've finally finished writing your scientific paper. Your bed is calling to you, luring you to enjoy a few hours rest after all of that hard work. But a second voice is speaking as well, and it is saying, "You're going to receive the same mediocre grade you always receive. Come on, keep working. Make it better." Now you're torn. You'd like to improve your scientific paper and lab report writing but you don't know how, so you're tempted to just hit the sack. You've heard professors describe excellent scientific papers using such amorphous descriptors as "it sparkles," "lovely voice," and "flows beautifully," but what do those things mean in plain English? Read on to get the inside scoop from our scientific editing experts.
Organization requires a clear thesis
Your thesis statement is the starting point of a well-organized scientific paper. Everything that "flows" has a beginning, and your paper can't "flow" if you don't tell the reader what the paper is about and where it's headed. The thesis generally appears toward the end of the introduction and serves as a beacon to direct the reader into the dark abyss of what follows. When your professor knows where you're headed, it's easier for him or her to pick up on the arguments you present.
Reread what you've written and ask yourself: What was I trying to prove? What points did I make? Does my thesis give the reader a map of what I'm setting out to do? If you can't answer these questions, chances are your professor will be equally stumped regarding your intentions.
Mixing up the evidence and the analysis
Whether you're writing a scientific paper on alternative energy or molecular biology, you're bound to have a mix of fact and commentary. Finding the right ratio is essential to writing a scientific paper that meets your professor's standards. In the humanities, great essays usually have two or more sentences of analysis for every sentence of fact. If you're writing a paper for the social sciences, invert this ratio and include twice as much fact as analysis. In the sciences, there is generally little personal analysis, but your professor may direct you to do otherwise. Is this a hard and fast rule? No. It's a general editing guideline that will help teach you how to write an essay.
Syntax: Clarifying your point
Syntax is a fancy word that deals less with what you say and more with how you say it. Most scientific papers suffer from a glut of unnecessary words. If you want your paper to ring true with the professor, don't slow him down with linguistic speed bumps: avoid wordiness!
Here's an example of a wordy sentence:
It has come to this researcher's attention that the results of this experiment are inconclusive, thus calling for the need for further investigation and more detailed, rigorous testing of the study's hypothesis.
Here's a revised version:
Additional study is needed to verify this hypothesis.
The second version contains 24 fewer words while making the same point. Reread your paper and try to cut at least five words from each sentence (more if you can). Pay particular attention to short words, such as the, of, as, and a, as well as weak verbs, such as make, do, has, and want. Nine times out of ten, there are better choices.
Another aspect of syntax involves the types of sentences you write: long versus short; simple versus compound; and subject opener versus non-subject opener (in the former, the first word/phrase is the subject of the sentence, while in the latter, the first word/phrase is a clause). Include a variety of sentences in your paper to maintain the reader's interest. Whenever possible, avoid having more than two of the same type of sentence in a row.
Expand your vocabulary
This is also known as diction or word choice. Using the right word at the right time is always impressive. You must be careful, however, to pick an appropriate word. Consider these synonyms for happy: content, glad, pleased, cheerful, delighted, exultant, ecstatic, and blissful. While the word blissful sounds better than pleased, the two aren't interchangeable; they simply do not have the same connotation, that is, each word carries a different emotional charge. Also, remember that more syllables are not inherently better. The student who wrote about the "benevolent doughnut" amused the instructor but still earned a poor grade.
The editing process is never over
Remember that there is no such thing as a final draft, only the version that exists when the deadline arrives. Don't go to sleep just yet. You can improve your writing if you focus on these core elements of a great scientific paper. Can't keep your eyes open for another minute? Then submit your paper to one of our essay editors for a professional opinion 24/7.

Ask Ben: Moving Decimal Places And Formatting Numbers
Hi Ben, I have been trying to use DecimalFormat and NumberFormat to get some integers coming out of a database query to display as decimals numbers. For Example I want 415 to display as 4.15. I also need 6 to display as .60 How might I accomplish this. I really love your writings by the way.
To do this, all you need to do is move over the decimal place and then format the number. Based on those two numbers, it looks like the number of decimal places is not generic. For 415, you want to move it over twice. For 6, you only move it over once. You'll have to figure out that part of the logic, but once you do, the formatting is quite easy:
<!--- Set both values so that we can mimic database values. --->
<cfset intValueA = 415 />
<cfset intValueB = 6 />
<!--- Output first number in decimal format. --->
#DecimalFormat( intValueA / 100 )#<br />
The second number is slightly more tricky since you did not
want a leading zero. All of the number formatting options put
in a leading zero. Therefore, we have to manually remove that
with some list functionality.
.#ListLast( DecimalFormat( intValueB / 10 ), "." )#
Once of the beauties of a base-10 number system such as ours is that all you need to do to move decimal places is divide by a power of 10. Each power of 10 moves the decimal place over once. Running the above code we get the following output:
Hope that helps.

Reader Comments
If those happen to be dollar figures (or any other currency) that you're trying to format, don't forget about LSCurrencyFormat(number)...
Thanks for the tip; to be honest, my knowledge about internationalization is pretty poor :(
where can i found some informations about the LSCurrencyFormat

Agriculture was once thought to be about the ancient practice of farming, but in today's world it is now regarded as cutting edge technology. Agriculture is a very broad field that seeks to help solve the world's problems in relation to hunger, health issues, and improving the quality of living, as well as increasing the quantity of food for our growing population.
Do you know what it takes to get a glass of milk on your table? Do you want to abolish obesity in the developed world and malnutrition in developing countries? Do you want to figure out how food production will keep pace with the world's population growth? Or do you feel a special connection to the land and want to work with animals and plants on a regular basis?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then agriculture may just be the perfect fit for you.
Study of agriculture in the US
Students who study agriculture in the US will have a distinct advantage over students who study agriculture elsewhere. The US is a world leader in agricultural science and serves as an important role model for countries around the world seeking to address global food challenges. The United States utilizes some of the most advanced agricultural technology in the world, and students who study here have the opportunity to work with and learn from this technology. This is particularly valuable for students whose home countries suffer from hunger issues, as these students can bring what they learn in the United States back to their home countries and use it to teach alternative ways to grow crops and teach children about food consumption. Students who stay to find work in the US following graduation will also find their degree helpful, as there is a shortage of well-trained professionals in the agricultural field.
What to expect with a degree in agriculture
Agriculture includes the study of plants, soil, animals, research labs, nutritionists and research. There are over 30 majors within the field of agriculture as well as a number of different career opportunities. An international student has the option to pursue different degrees depending on what it is they want to do, from an Associates Degree, to a Bachelors Degree, and even a Masters Degree. Undergraduate majors (those that you pursue in your Associate or Bachelor Degree programs) include agricultural business, agricultural economics, agronomy and crop science, animal sciences, equestrian studies, farm and ranch management, food science, horticulture, soil science and sustainable agriculture. Some agriculture majors do not deal with animals at all, and instead they might find themselves focused on improving the soil of a football field!
If you need additional funding to study agriculture, explore financial resource options like scholarships and loans.
What do you need to be highly qualified
A person going into this field must have moderate skills in communication and leadership, basic skills in interpersonal relations, and highly developed skills in mathematics, mechanical technology and sciences. Recommended high school (secondary school) classes include three lab sciences (including biology and chemistry, advanced biology is recommended if available), two to three years of a foreign language, four years of language arts and four years of math (including precalculus and calculus). Some college courses will require you to enroll in the following classes once you've declared your major, so it's important to be prepared:
- Agriculture and Environmental Ethics
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Accounting
- Nutrition
- Soil Science
- Livestock Management
- Genetics
What can you do with a major in agriculture
With a degree in agriculture you can be a manager of a farm or ranch, a technician, consultant, scientist, animal breeder, crop production technician, farmer, health and regulatory inspector, soil conservationist, and aquaculturist, just to name a few of the careers. Students pursuing this field should also realize that it is highly likely that you'll be working outside most of the day, which in some cases can be physically demanding or hazardous.
What colleges to look for
Preferred colleges are those that are considered land-grant universities. Land-grant universities are state schools that combine research, teaching and outreach — in many cases these big state schools dominate agricultural education.
International students who want to study agriculture in the US will find that there are many colleges and universities that offer programs in agriculture. It's important to think about what you want to do after graduation so that you can design a curriculum that will provide you with the skills that will allow you to be competitive in your career. Farmers require a different skill set compared to horticulturalist. Hours and working conditions also vary by occupation. As a whole, most students who study agriculture should be proficient in business, science and math.

4 Unique Charities that Help Fight Hunger
When it comes to fighting hunger in the United States, the obvious sources of assistance many of us think of are food banks and soup kitchens. While we cannot stress the importance of those two sources, many Americans have also thought of non-traditional ways to help those dealing with food insecurity.
Here are just four unique charities around the country that help fight hunger.
Move For Hunger
Getting a new place but don't feel like bringing the contents of your entire pantry or fridge? Contact Move for Hunger! Move for Hunger is an organization that partners with local moving companies that will not only move all of your belongings to your new home but will donate any unopened, non-perishable items to local food pantries you don't feel like packing.
Food Forward
Food Forward is a Los Angeles-based charity that collects surplus fresh fruits and vegetables from a variety of places, from farmers markets to even backyard fruit trees, and donates them to help fight hunger and food waste.
C.A.N.S. 4 Cuts
The concept is simple and absolutely brilliant: Founded by Lamont "Jaye" Joseph, C.A.N.S 4 Cuts partners with local barber shops and salons where those looking for a haircut can donate canned goods in exchange for a haircut. All donated items are then used to stock local food banks.
City Harvest's "Skip Lunch Fight Hunger"
New York City's City Harvest is a "food rescue" organization that aims to limit food waste by collecting surplus food for those in need. One of their fundraising initiatives is "Skip Lunch Fight Hunger," where they ask New Yorkers to bring their lunch to work and donate the money they would've used to go out for lunch. In 2018, they were able to raise $1.1 million!

Influential country singer Ray Price dead at 87
DALLAS—Ray Price, one of country music's most popular and influential singers and bandleaders who had more than 100 hits and was one of the last living connections to Hank Williams, died Monday. He was 87.
Price died Monday afternoon at his ranch outside Mount Pleasant, Texas, said Billy Mack Jr., who was acting as a family spokesman. Billie Perryman, the wife of family friend and spokesman Tom Perryman, a DJ with KKUS-FM in Tyler, also confirmed his death.
Price was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2011 and it had recently spread to his liver, intestines and lungs, according East Texas Medical Center in Tyler. He stopped aggressive treatments and left the hospital last Thursday to receive hospice care at home.
At the time, his wife, Janie Price, relayed what she called her husband's "final message" to his fans: "I love my fans and have devoted my life to reaching out to them. I appreciate their support all these years, and I hope I haven't let them down. I am at peace. I love Jesus. I'm going to be just fine. Don't worry about me. I'll see you again one day."
Perhaps best known for his version of the Kris Kristofferson song "For the Good Times," a pop hit in 1970, the velvet-voiced Price was a giant among traditional country performers in the 1950s, '60s and '70s, as likely to defy a trend as he was to defend one. He helped invent the genre's honky-tonk sound early in his career, then took it in a more polished direction.
He reached the Billboard Hot 100 eight times from 1958-73 and had seven No. 1 hits and more than 100 titles on the Billboard country chart from 1952 to 1989. "For the Good Times" was his biggest crossover hit, reaching No. 11 on the Billboard pop music singles chart. His other country hits included "Crazy Arms," "Release Me," "The Same Old Me," "Heartaches by the Number," "City Lights" and "Too Young to Die."
"If you got a pop hit, you sold a lot more records," Price said in 2000. "It was my style, really. I sang ballads, sort of laid-back. I'm still a country boy. I don't pretend to be anything else."
Price was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1996, long after he'd become dissatisfied with Nashville and returned to his home state of Texas.
His importance went well beyond hit singles. He was among the pioneers who popularized electric instruments and drums in country music. After helping to establish the bedrock 4/4 shuffle beat that can still be heard on every honky-tonk jukebox and most country radio stations in the world, Price angered traditionalists by breaking away from country. He gave early breaks to Willie Nelson, Roger Miller and other major performers.
His "Danny Boy" in the late 1960s was a heavily orchestrated version that crossed over to the pop charts. He then started touring with a string-laden 20-piece band that outraged his dancehall fans.
In the 1970s he sang often with symphony orchestras — in a tuxedo and cowboy boots.
Like Nelson, his good friend and contemporary, Price simply didn't care what others thought and pursued the chance to make his music the way he wanted to.
"I have fought prejudice since I got in country music and I will continue to fight it," he told The Associated Press in 1981. "A lot of people want to keep country music in the minority of people. But it belongs to the world. It's art."
In the same 1981 interview, he credited the cowboy for the popularity of country music.
"Everyone loves the cowboy. He's nice, humble and straightforward. And country music is the same thing. The kids have discovered what mom and pop told 'em."
Price continued performing and recording well into his 70s.
"I have to be in the business at least five or 10 more years," Price told The Associated Press in 2000, when he and his band were doing 100 shows a year.
"Two or three years ago, we did 182," he said. "Fans come to the shows, bless their hearts, they always come."
In 2007, he joined buddies Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson on a double-CD set, "Last of the Breed." The trio performed on tour with the Texas swing band Asleep at the Wheel.
"I'll be surprised if we don't all get locked up somewhere," Price joked at the time.
Over the years, Price came in and out of vogue as traditional country music waxed and waned on the radio. He was a constant advocate for the old days and ways of country music, and more recently re-entered the news when he took offense to comments Blake Shelton made about classic country music that included the words "old farts." The dustup drew attention on the Internet and introduced Price to a new generation of country fans.
"You should be so lucky as us old-timers," Price said in a happily cantankerous post in all capital letters. "Check back in 63 years (the year 2075) and let us know how your name and your music will be remembered."
Price earned his long-standing fame honestly, weaving himself into the story of modern country music in several ways.
As a young man, Price became friends with Hank Williams, toured with the country legend and shared a house with him in Nashville. Williams even let Price use his band, the Drifting Cowboys, and the two wrote a song together, the modest Price hit "Weary Blues (From Waiting)".
By 1952 Price was a regular member of the Grand Ole Opry.
The singer had one of country music's great bands, the Cherokee Cowboys, early in his career. His lineup included at times Nelson, Miller and Johnny Paycheck.
His 1956 version of "Crazy Arms" became a landmark song for both Price and country music. His first No. 1 country hit, the song rode a propulsive beat into the pop top 100 as well. Using a drummer and bassist to create a country shuffle rhythm, he eventually established a sound that would become a trademark.
"It was strictly country and it went pop," Price said of the song. "I never have figured that one out yet."
Price was born near Perryville, Texas, in 1926 and was raised in Dallas. He joined the Marines for World War II and then studied to be a veterinarian at North Texas Agricultural College before he decided on music as a career.
Soft-spoken and urbane, Price told the AP in 1976: "I'm my own worst critic. I don't like to hear myself sing or see myself on television. I see too many mistakes."
He was one of the few who saw them.

The monthly average temperature in the city has been on the rise for the past few decades — both in the daytime and at night.
Researchers already know that a combination of climate change and urban development leads to a rise in overnight low temperatures in Phoenix.
Along with reducing greenhouse gases, mitigating the urban heat island could help slow the trend of rising temperatures, and there is research happening in the Phoenix area to test new technologies that could make a difference in how to cool cities in the future.
That's the idea behind a stretch of roadway in the Garfield District, south of downtown Phoenix.
It is one of eight neighborhoods in the Phoenix area where an asphalt sealant product called CoolSeal by manufacturer GuardTop is being tested as a method to mitigate the heat island effect.
Jennifer Vanos is an assistant professor at Arizona State University. She says the goal of the CoolSeal is to reflect the sun's energy back into space, so that the heat is not absorbed by the asphalt as would typically happen with traditional sealants.
"No city has tried this before the way Phoenix is trying this and so we're really leading in that space globally," Vanos said.
The research is looking at the benefits and potential effects of CoolSeal. So far, research has found that the surface temperature of the asphalt coated by the CoolSeal is 16 degrees lower than the asphalt covered by traditional sealcoats.
The air temperature above asphalt covered by SealCool is also colder by about 0.44 degrees.
"Now that doesn't sound like a lot, and it's not necessarily something our body would be able to feel," Vanos said. "But one of the goals we have over the coming year is to be able to take those numbers for each neighborhood and do calculations on what that means for energy use, and what that means for water use, and what that does potentially mean for human health."
David Sailor is the Director of Urban Climate Research at Arizona State. He says the CoolSeal can help reduce how much of the sun's energy is absorbed, but new technology could further cool the surrounding air.
Sailor says "passive radiative cooling material" reflects and radiates energy, so the surface is cooler than the air temperature at all times.
"It's a game-changer of sorts in the ability to cool our cities because even a white surface on a rooftop...those white surfaces still remain a little bit hotter than the air temperature during the day, so you're adding heat to the environment, not as much as a dark surface but they are adding heat," Sailor said. "If we replace that white surface with a passive radiative cooling surface, it would actually be below air temperature at all times, and that would allow us to further cool the environment."
The new technology could also allow for heat island mitigation strategies to be implemented on a wider scale, even in homes. In addition, the materials come in darker colors, so it would mean that homeowners could benefit from the cooling effects without necessarily having to have a white or light-colored roof.
While not all of these technologies are on the market yet, Sailor says now is the time to start considering them as part of the future of infrastructure.
"We have our fate in our own hands," Sailor said. "Let's take advantage of that, and the more that we can make our cities livable, thriving communities, the better we sort of guard against the risk of flight away from our cities."
While the new technologies could make a difference in how cities fight heat islands, Sailor says it's important to always look at any adverse consequences. That way, policymakers can make informed decisions as cities continue to grow and develop.

Here's an intriguing chart from Vanessa Williamson, Theda Skocpol and John Coggin, via the Monkey Cage. It shows coverage of the tax day rallies put on by the tea party movement in 2009 on both CNN and Fox. The nickel version is that CNN gave the rallies a lot of coverage on the day of the events plus a little bit of followup the next day. In other words, they treated the rallies as a news event. But Fox's approach was a wee bit different:
In telling contrast, Fox News shows significant and growing coverage in the lead-up to the April rallies. … FoxNews has explicitly mobilized its viewers by connecting the Tea Party to their own brand identity. … Rather than serving a journalistic, or even a propagandistic function, Fox News in effect acts as a "national social movement organization," as described by sociologist Debra Minkoff in studies of liberal identity movements. For a scattered set of people who might feel isolated or marginalized (like gays and lesbians, in Minkoff's original example), a resourceful national organization can help to provide "an infrastructure for collective action" by promoting "the diffusion of collective identities" and fostering "at least a minimal degree of solidarity and integration."
Fox News and its audience are all one big happy family, and Fox views its job as rallying its base, not as simply providing them with news. I don't think anyone will be especially surprised to hear that, but this is an interesting lens for understanding the difference between how a news organization covers the news and how an activist organization like Fox covers the news.

Now, you have another very good reason to upgrade to Windows 10. If you refuse to do that, then at the very least, you have a very good reason to move away from versions of Windows that are no longer receiving critical security updates (Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, etc.). A devastating security flaw has been found that researchers are calling "Bad Tunnel." Using it, hackers could hijack all network traffic on any Windows PC.
The only saving grace is that there is some social engineering required. Users have to be tricked into accessing files via links or shortcuts in various application. Relying on this to save you, however, is thin protection indeed.
Bad Tunnel exists because of the way Microsoft implemented NetBIOS protocols on every version of Windows they've made. In terms of practical application, a hacker could use the exploit, redirect network traffic on that PC to a malware laden location, which would allow a takeover of the PC in question. The attacker does not have to reside on the same network, and firewalls and NAT devices will not prevent it.
Windows 10 has already been patched, via MS16-077, so this is not an issue for Windows 10 users, but everyone else is impacted, and of course, if you're one of the millions of users still running Windows XP, the issue is simply not going to be fixed. No patches are coming, and it's not something you can remedy on your own. At this point, the only option you have is to simply live with the heightened risk, or upgrade your OS.
Everyone knew that this day was coming. That sooner or later a critical security flaw would be uncovered that would put people who were slow to move away from unsupported OSs at dramatically increased risk. That day has now arrived. If the clock was ticking before, it just got a whole lot louder, and the alarm is going off.

Rapid DNA: Coming soon to a police department or immigration office near you
by Jennifer Lynch, Electronic Frontier Foundation
In the amount of time it takes to get lunch, the government can now collect your DNA and extract a profile that identifies you and your family members.
Rapid DNA Analyzers'machines with the ability to process DNA in 90 minutes or less'are an operational reality and are being marketed to the federal government and state and local law enforcement agencies around the country. These machines, each about the size of a laser printer, are designed to be used in the field by non-scientists, and'if you believe the hype from manufacturers like IntegenX and NetBio'will soon 'revolutionize the use of DNA by making it a routine identification and investigational tool.'
From documents we received recently from US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and DHS's Science & Technology division, we've learned that the two agencies are working with outside venders NetBio, Lockheed Martin and IntegenX and have 'earmarked substantial funds' to develop a Rapid DNA analyzer that can verify familial relationships for refugee and asylum applications.
In the refugee context'where people are often stranded in camps far from their homes with little access to the documentation needed to prove they should be granted asylum in the US'DNA identification could be useful for both the federal government and the asylum seeker.
However, DNA samples contain such sensitive, private and personal information that their indefinite storage and unlimited sharing create privacy risks far worse than other types of data. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) stated in a 2008 Note titled DNA Testing to Establish Family Relationships in the Refugee Context that DNA testing 'can have serious implications for the right to privacy and family unity' and should be used only as a 'last resort.' The UNHCR also stated that, if DNA is collected, it 'should not be used for any other purpose (for instance medical tests or criminal investigations) than the verification of family relationships' and that DNA associated with the test 'should normally be destroyed once a decision has been made.'
It seems USCIS is not heeding the UNHCR's recommendations; the documents show that USCIS wants to use Rapid DNA analysis for much broader purposes than just verifying refugee applications. The agency notes that DNA should be collected from all immigration applicants'possibly even infants'and then stored in the FBI's criminal DNA database. The agency also supports sharing immigrant DNA with 'local, state, tribal, international, and other federal partners' including the Department of Defense and Interpol on the off-chance the refugee or asylum seeker could be a criminal or terrorist or could commit a crime or act of terrorism in the future. This flow chart shows USCIS's ideal DNA collection and sharing process.
USCIS is not alone in wanting to get the most out of DNA collection. Another document we received shows that the intelligence community and the military are interested in DNA analysis to reveal ethnicity, health status, age, and other factors. And while Rapid DNA analyzers are not currently set up to extract enough data to reveal this information, IntegenX representatives at the Biometrics Consortium Conference this past September said that setting up the machines to extract additional loci would not be difficult.
Some federal agencies interested in Rapid DNA may not be able to implement it widescale for some time. Currently USCIS 'does not have the authority to require DNA testing, even when fraud is highly suspected.' For that to happen, the agency would have to update 8 C.F.R. 204.2(d)(vi),1 which it has discussed doing but hasn't yet done. And although the FBI is also very interested in Rapid DNA analyzers, legal rules prevent the Bureau from using the machines to process any DNA that wil go into its CODIS (Combined DNA Index System) database.
This hasn't stopped Rapid DNA manufacturers from aggressively marketing their products to state and local law enforcement agencies across the country. IntegenX and Lockhead Martin are both pushing local governments to create their own local DNA databases instead of relying on CODIS. This has pluses and minuses'it means some chunk of the DNA collected by state or local cops may not end up in the FBI's massive DNA database and become subject to repeated nationwide searching. However, it also means that cops may not follow the stringent DNA handling procedures currently required by the FBI2 and that, without oversight, collection procedures could become based on little or no real suspicion of criminal activity.
Whether the technology itself is accurate and appropriate to use for immigration populations may also be an issue. According to the documents, scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology are uncertain whether the 'Likelihood Ratios'3 currently used by accredited labs would be applicable 'to an immigration population, since the largest reference groups, whose characteristics feed into the calculations of the ratios, are American Caucasians and Hispanics.' DHS's own Science & Technology Division noted at a January 4, 2011 Working Group meeting that it was concerned 'that prototype equipment may not provide totally reliable results.' Science & Technology staff stated they could not 'yet predict how accurate the non-match findings will be, since the error rate for the machines remains unknown.' This means that people could be excluded from refugee programs just because the machine determined'inaccurately'that their DNA did not match their family member's DNA.
DHS and USCIS acknowledge that 'DNA collection may create controversy.' One USCIS employee advocated for 'DHS, with the help of expert public relation professionals,' to 'launch a social conditioning campaign' to 'dispel the myths and promote the benefits of DNA technology.' Another document feared that 'If DHS fails to provide an adequate response to [inquiries about its Rapid DNA Test Program] quickly, civil rights/civil liberties organizations may attempt to shut down the test program."
However, the real issues with expanded DNA collection'and the issues these documents don't answer'are whether DNA collection is really necessary to solve the challenges inherent in proving refugee entitlement to benefits; what standards and laws will govern expanded federal, state and local DNA collection and subsequent searches; how DNA will be collected, stored and secured; who will have access to it after it's collected; and what processes are in place to destroy the DNA sample and delete data from whatever database it's stored in after it's served the limited purpose for which it was originally collected. Without answers to these questions, no amount of 'social conditioning' can convince those concerned about privacy and civil liberties that expanded DNA collection is a good idea.
1. This regulation does not mention DNA testing and therefore cannot, without amendment, be used to establish a DNA testing requirement.
2. However, even the FBI's procedures haven't prevented fraud and abuse at labs. And as other USCIS documents note, according to the Department of State, security and chain of custody of the DNA sample have been issues in the past. Even 'accredited labs are rife with problems.'
3. DNA.gov defines likelihood ratio as 'The ratio of two probabilities of the same event under different hypotheses. In DNA testing often expressed as the ratio between the likelihood that a given profile came from a particular individual and the likelihood that it came from a random unrelated person. Note that in this case the likelihood of each event does not add to give 1 (100% likelihood) as it does not incorporate the possibility of error or that the profiles came from twins or other near relatives.'

Kernel Test Days
A quick guide for Kernel Test Days.
During Kernel Test Days, contributors are asked to run a Kernel Regression Test which will help to detect and troubleshoot any issue with a new kernel version, before wider usage. It consist in running a series of tests provided by the Kernel Test Suite
The main goal of a Kernel Test Day is to test a new kernel on many different machines as possible, so every new Kernel Test Day is announced some days in advance with a fedoramagazine post.
What to do during Kernel Test Days
The first thing to do is to get the right kernel version to test. There are different ways to get the kernel and test it:
Using a test day image
During test days a dedicated wiki page will provide a link to download a test day image which is a live distro of Fedora with the kernel version to test already in it. The test day image also contain the test suite, aka the scripts to test the kernel on your machine. The downloaded .iso file must then be written in a bootable USB stick.
Check this guide for creating a bootable USB stick. |
You can then boot the live image and run the tests without worries of messing up with your OS.
Using a Virtual Machine
You can also install the required kernel version on a Virtual Machine running an up to date Fedora release and do the test in the VM. In this case you can just add this Copr repository on the Fedora distro running in your VM.
Once you added the repository,install the kernel to test:
sudo dnf upgrade && sudo dnf install kernel-5.0.0-200.fc29.x86_64
In the example above we install kernel-5.0.0-200 on fedora 29 with 64 bit architecture.
Reboot and you are ready to test.
Using Koji
During kernel test days, the dedicated wiki page will provide a link to download the newly built kernel version to test, directly from koji builds. This is recommended for secure boot users.
Disclaimer: You could also install and test the new kernel on your Workstation/Server installation, on a bare metal machine, but make sure you have no important data on that installation, things might go wrong — don't do this on your production machine! |
Lets prepare for testing (and earn a new Fedora Badge!)
Before testing, you need to install some packages:
sudo dnf install gcc make git libtirpc python3-fedora keyutils libtirpc-devel policycoreutils-python-utils
If you are using the *test day image* you already have the kernel-test suite in the kernel-tests folder; enter the folder with
cd /home/liveuser/kernel-tests
If you are not using the test day image you will need to clone the kernel-tests repo. Use this command in terminal:
git clone https://pagure.io/kernel-tests.git
this will download the same folder that you find in the test day image, with the testing scripts. When the download is finished, enter the kernel-tests folder:
cd kernel-tests
Once inside the kernel-tests folder, it's time to edit some configuration files; first we need to copy the content of the config.example
file in a new hidden file named .config
cp config.example .config
Now edit the .config
file with your favorite editor.
Here we can decide whether or not to upload the results of our tests to Fedora servers. By default, running the tests will not automatically submit results. They will just run and write results on a log file in /kernel-tests/logs/
To submit results anonymously: edit the
file withsubmit=anonymous
To submit results linked to your FAS username: edit the
file withsubmit=authenticated
andusername=<your FAS username>
If you link your submission to your FAS username, you'll also receive a Fedora badge!
The results of your test will be uploaded here
Running tests
Before running the test, be sure your machine has no workload already, like other cpu intensive processes.You can check using the command: top |
Before running tests, we need to allow the testsuite to make their heap memory executable with this command:
sudo semanage boolean -m --on selinuxuser_execheap
When you finish with the tests, remember to turn SELinux boolean selinuxuser_execheap back to default state, by issuing the command: sudo semanage boolean -m --off selinuxuser_execheap |
Now let's start testing!
To run the basic set of tests, use this command:
sudo ./runtests.sh
To run the performance test suites, use this command:
sudo ./runtests.sh -t performance
The expected result is that the tests pass. However, some tests may fail occasionally due to system load. Anyway, add whatever results you got from the tests on the dedicated result page of the Kernel Test day!
During a kernel test day, a dedicated web application page is created for uploading results, there you can fill a form with a description of the results you got. Just Click on the Enter Result button and fill the form. Enter a username in the Username field, in the Profile field enter a description of the machine you tested the kernel on, and choose the result of your test from the dropdown menu (failed or pass). In the Bugs field you can write the number of a bug (or bug numbers divided by semicolons. i.e. '752855;25532') that you opened on Bugzilla, against that particular kernel. If you found a bug in the kernel, please report it via this link. If you don't have a Bugzilla account,you can still log in with your FAS account.
If a test fails repeatedly, consider helping by reporting the failure on Bugzilla |
Finally add any other comments or observations you want in the Comment field and Click the Submit Query button.
Thanks for helping the fedora team in testing the newest kernel on your machine!
If you want to help more: join the Fedora Quality Assurance team and propose new test cases for the kernel that are not already on this page.
