Aunion object holds the value of the (bitwise or) operation on multiple type objects. These types are intended primarily for type annotations. The union type expression enables cleaner type hinting syntax compared to typing.Union.
But do note that typing is not enforced. Python continues to remain a dynamically-typed language. The annotation syntax has been developed to help during the development of the code prior to being released into production. As PEP 484 states, "no type checking happens at runtime."
If you want to return a bool to indicate some type of special error-case, consider using Exceptions instead. If you want to return a bool as some special value, maybe an empty list would be a good representation.You can also indicate that None could be returned with Optional[list]
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Attorney General John Ashcroft, Assistant Attorney General Michael Chertoff of the Criminal Division, and U.S. Attorney Michael Battle of the Western District of New York announced today that Yahya Goba, one of the six defendants indicted in the Buffalo cell case, has pleaded guilty to providing material support to al Qaeda.
Goba, of Lackawanna, N.Y., and five other defendants were charged in a two-count indictment in the Western District of New York last October with providing material support or resources to al Qaeda. Goba pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge William Skretny at federal court in Buffalo, N.Y., this morning to the second count of the indictment, which charges that from Spring 2001 through August 2001, Goba and the other defendants knowingly and unlawfully provided and attempted to provide material support and resources to a foreign terrorist organization, namely al Qaeda.
Yesterday, Shafal Mosed pleaded guilty in federal court in Buffalo to the same charge, making him the first person to be convicted of providing material support to a terrorist organization based upon his own attendance at an al Qaeda-affiliated training camp. In January 2003, Faysal Galab pleaded guilty to contributing funds and services to specially designated terrorists, in violation of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (Title 50 USC 1705). The plea deals signed by Mosed and Galab also require their full cooperation with government investigations.
Attorney General John Ashcroft praised the efforts of U.S. Attorney Michael Battle and Assistant Attorney General Michael Chertoff in securing today's plea, along with the investigative cooperation of the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force and other federal, state and local law enforcement agencies.
On Oct. 21, 2002, Goba was indicted by a federal grand jury in Buffalo, along with co-defendants Yasein Taher, Sahim Alwan, Mukhtar al-Bakri, Shafal Mosed and Faysal Galab. The indictment charged the defendants with conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists from the spring of 2001 through Sept. 13, 2002, and providing material support from the spring of 2001 through Aug. 2, 2001, for receiving military-type training at the al Farooq camp affiliated with Usama bin Laden and al Qaeda near Kandahar, Afghanistan.
In court today, Goba admitted that in early April of 2001, he and other defendants agreed to attend a military-type camp in Afghanistan to receive training for jihad. The defendant knew that the planned trip was to a camp associated with al Qaeda.
According to the plea agreement, Goba, Al-Bakri and others traveled to the al Farooq terrorist training camp the following month. Goba acknowledged that during his training, he received instruction in the assembly and use of firearms, including a Kalishnikov, 9mm handgun, rifle, M16 automatic rifle, and a rocket-propelled grenade launcher. Goba also acknowledged receiving instruction on a number of terrorism techniques, including weapons, explosives and tactics.
Goba's plea agreement states that Usama bin Laden spoke at the camp about, among other things, the alliance of al Qaeda and the Egyptian Islamic Jihad. The plea states that bin Laden made anti-American and anti-Israeli statements, said Americans must be driven out of Saudi Arabia, and said that there were 40 men "willing to become martyrs for the cause."
The charge Goba pleaded guilty to, a violation of Section 2339B of Title 18 of the United States Code, prohibits anyone from knowingly providing or conspiring to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization, as designated by the State Department. Al Qaeda was first designated an FTO in October 1999; that two-year designation was renewed in October 2001.
Delayed type I endoleaks may be related to changes in the configuration of the aorta as the aneurysm sac shrinks. These are considered high-pressure endoleaks, and there is a high risk of aneurysm sac rupture because of direct exposure of the aneurysm wall to aortic pressure.
Initial treatment can include balloon angioplasty of the proximal attachment site, aimed at remodeling the stent graft to achieve an adequate seal. If angioplasty is unsuccessful, balloon-expandable bare-metal stents such as Palmaz stents can be deployed over the affected attachment site to promote apposition of the proximal stent graft with the aortic wall.

By using of the by-pass valve, the fluid fills the drill string while tripping in the hole and to drain while tripping out. When the mud is pumped, the valve closes to help move the liquid inside the tool. The spring valve in this part causes the piston spring to move upwards in the absence of pressure so that the liquid goes to the annulus.
The shape of the rotor is spiral. So it tracks back and forth movements. To transmit these movements to the bit (via drive), the type of movement must be concentric. Connecting rod assembly can achieve this. So there are different types.
There are different configurations of PDMs. and as mentioned before, the stator has one lobe more than the rotor. The simplest types of PDMs are 1/2 motors. The 1/2 motors can drill with with a PDC, diamond, or TSP-type bits. The other kinds of shorter models are made for directional purposes.

Abstract: It is a well known fact that the weakest link in a cyber secure system is the people who configure, manage or use it. Security breaches are persistently being attributed to human error. Social engineered based attacks are becoming more sophisticated to such an extent where they are becoming increasingly more difficult to detect. Companies implement strong security policies as well as provide specific training for employees to minimise phishing attacks, however these practices rely on the individual adhering to them. This paper explores fuzzy logic and in particular a Mamdani type fuzzy inference system to determine an employees susceptibility to phishing attacks. To negate and identify the susceptibility levels of employees to social engineering attacks a Fuzzy Inference System FIS was created through the use of fuzzy logic. The utilisation of fuzzy logic is a novel way in determining susceptibility due to its ability to resemble human reasoning in order to solve complex inputs, or its Interpretability and simplicity to be able to compute with words. This proposed fuzzy inference system is based on a number of criteria which focuses on attributes relating to the individual employee as well as a companies practices and procedures and through this an extensive rule base was designed. The proposed scoring mechanism is a first attempt towards a holistic solution. To accurately predict an employees susceptibility to phishing attacks will in any future system require a more robust and relatable set of human characteristics in relation to the employee and the employer.
