In this program I'm supossed to recieve an infix expression from a user. Then convert it into a postfix expression and finally evaluate the postfix expression.
This is a program using Stacks by the way.
I am stuck trying to evaluate my postfix expression( string). I'm supossed to add operands from the postfix expression to a stack. Once I get to a +, /, *, - char in the postfixExp I have to "pop the top of the stack" twice.
The "pop" method returns the popped chars to the DP.
Now this is where I'm in agony!!!!
I will have to convert the 2 popped CHARS to INTS then perform the app. operation depending on the current operator. Once I get the result of the operation I have to convert it back to a char and add it into the stack..
The CHAR to INT conversion leave the INTs with the Unicode and I dunno what to do now!!!!!
- How do I use the +, -, *, / operations if the INTS are in Unicode?!?!?!?!?!?
I would appriciate it if you would tell me pretty much the code, not pseudocode, cause I know what to do I just don't know how to do it. Also please tell me how to covert the result from an INT back to a CHAR!!
I normally do my own work but I'm annoyed, tired and stressed. This program is due Monday and I have another do Wensday. I wanna get them done by Monday to hand both in on same disk!!!

Over 2300 years ago, the Babylonians came up with the idea that the gods lived among the stars and other celestial objects, and were able to impose their will on humanity by controlling the destinies of individuals and nations alike. The Babylonians divided the sky into 12 "slices": which we now know as the signs of the zodiac… Taurus, Pisces, etc. There are many variations of astrology, but they are all founded upon the idea that celestial objects can influence a person's personality and destiny.
Today, according to a Gallup poll, 25% of American believes in Astrology. In this article, we'll investigate why horoscopes and astrology sometimesappear to be correct by reviewing the concept of subjective validation, the Forer Effect, and Gauquelin's famous horoscope experiment; we'll take a look at what an astronomer has to say about astrology; we'll review some of the logical issues with astrology; and finally, we'll take a look at how easy it is to debunk horoscopes yourself.
Subjective Validation and the Forer Effect
"Subjective validation" occurs when two unrelated or random events are perceived to be related because a belief, expectancy, or hypothesis demands a relationship. Thus, people find a connection between the perception of their personality and the contents of their horoscope.
The concept of subjective validation was put to the test in 1948 by psychologist Bertram R. Forer. Forer gave a personality test to each of his students. Afterward, he told his students they were each receiving aunique personality analysis that was based on the test's results, and to rate their analysis on a scale of 0 (very poor) to 5 (excellent) on how well it applied to themselves.
The analysis presented to the students was as follows:
You have a great need for other people to like and admire you. You have a tendency to be critical of yourself. You have a great deal of unused capacity which you have not turned to your advantage. While you have some personality weaknesses, you are generally able to compensate for them. Disciplined and self-controlled outside, you tend to be worrisome and insecure inside. At times you have serious doubts as to whether you have made the right decision or done the right thing. You prefer a certain amount of change and variety and become dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations. You pride yourself as an independent thinker and do not accept others' statements without satisfactory proof. You have found it unwise to be too frank in revealing yourself to others. At times you are extroverted, affable, sociable, while at other times you are introverted, wary, reserved. Some of your aspirations tend to be pretty unrealistic. Security is one of your major goals in life.
The trick? In reality, each student received the exact same analysis: On average, the rating was 4.26/5(that is, the students found their "personal" analysis to be 85% accurate). It was only after the ratings were turned in was it revealed that each student had received identical copies assembled by Forer from various horoscopes.
As can be seen from the profile analysis, there are a number of statements that are vague and could apply equally to anyone. These statements later became known as Barnum statements, after P.T. Barnum, who used them in his performances, allegedly stating "there's a sucker born every minute."
Later studies have found that subjects give higher accuracy ratings if the following are true:
- the subject believes that the analysis applies only to him or her (for example, a horoscope)
- the subject believes in the authority of the evaluator (for example, a psychic)
- the analysis lists mainly positive traits (for example, most daily horoscopes)
Guaquelin's Horoscope Experiment
In another experiment, the famous French Astrologer, Michael Gauquelin, offered free horoscopes to any reader of Ici Paris, if they would give feedback on the accuracy of his supposedly "individual" analysis. He wanted to scientifically test the profession of astrology. As with Forer's experiment, there was a trick: he sent out thousands of copies of the same horoscope to people of various astrological signs – and 94% of the readers replied that his reading was very accurate and insightful.
What they didn't know was that the horoscope was that of a local mass murderer, Dr. Petiot, who had admitted during his trial that he had killed 63 people. This is clearly another case of subjective validation where subjects focus on the hits of some general analysis that's supposed to be unique to them.
An Astronomer's Opinion
So what does science have to say about astrology?

Soweto, originally an abbreviation for South Western Townships, came into being as a suburb that housed miners and black workers. This city district southwest of Johannesburg grew to symbolise the struggle against apartheid. Nowadays, Soweto is a lively reflection of the new South Africa, where a number of noteworthy monuments serve as reminders of an illustrious past.
From shabby slums and open sewers to extravagant villas and BMW showrooms, Soweto is a neighbourhood of contrasts. This melting pot of cultures is home to a mix of local languages, street slang and Afrikaans. It is a cheerful neighbourhood filled with music. A vibrant combination of rich and poor, young and old and past and future is what makes Soweto so unique.
The government's announcement in 1976 to educate children in Afrikaans instead of English was met with massive protests in Soweto. During one of the student marches, 13-year-old Hector Pieterson was shot and killed by the police. The picture of the boy being carried away from the protest went around the world. The Hector Pieterson Memorial Site was established in 2002 to commemorate this summer of riots, which cost the lives of hundreds of people. Located close to where the killing took place, this museum tells about the riots through eyewitness accounts, pictures and film.
A number of famous anti-apartheid fighters spent part of their lives in Soweto. Nelson Mandela lived here for a period, as did Arch Bishop Desmond Tutu. Both had a house on Vilakazi Street in the Orlando West neighbourhood, making this street the only one in the world where two Nobel laureates have lived. Familiar to many from the countless TV appearances of his former wife Winnie, the simple brick-red 'matchbox house' where Mandela lived is now a museum, where memorability, paintings and pictures of the Mandelas are on display.
Johannesburg may be a modern and fast-paced metropolis, but a more pleasant chaos reigns in Soweto. This can clearly be seen from the footbridge from the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, where you can look out over the district, with its charming chaos of street vendors hawking their goods and buyers trying to negotiate the best price. In the meantime, commuters try to find a taxi to work.

[hat tip: A Banner is Unfurled]
The widespread adoption of different versions of no-fault divorce by most states after 1970 transformed marriage and family. The traditional presumption in favor of the permanence of marriage (with certain well-defined exceptions) gave way to a situation in which one of the partners, for whatever reason, could unilaterally end the marriage. This marked a cultural shift from regarding marriage as a truly fundamental social institution to regarding it as primarily a personal union in which there is a very limited social interest.[Read more . . .]

Beverly Moskowitz necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 83 diseños de 10 diseñadores freelance.
Real OT Solutions (Occupational Therapy handwriting curriculum)
We're a startup business of therapeutic and educational products for young children with fine motor, learning and sensory problems.
Our products help children learn to print, cut, draw and successfully participate in school. We are debuting our business at the American Occupational Therapy Association conference in Orlando, Florida in April 2010. Presently, we still need vital artwork to illustrate concepts. These graphics have to be child-friendly, entertaining, original and crisp. They must capture the attention of children in preschool, Kindergarten and grades 1, 2 and 3. Most importantly, they have to convey a feeling of fun, especially tricky for an activity that many kids find very difficult--handwriting.
Real OT Solutions is producing top quality 4-color, beautifully packaged and expertly designed materials. They are intended for national and international use in all public, private, parochial, and home-schooled environments.
Dr. Moskowitz is a practicing Occupational Therapist with over 30 years of experience working with children with disabilities. More than 2/3 of her career has been spent working in the schools.
The products containing Super C are geared for young children ages 4-9 who are learning how to print. Teachers, therapists and parents will want to use them.
Super C is a MAJOR concept in our Size Matters Handwriting Program (SMHP). SMHP is a brand new approach to teaching handwriting that has already proven successful with hundreds of kids. Super C is one of a number of teaching points that help children print letters accurately and without reversals. Reversals are common problems for young children, especially those with learning difficulties. The Super C figure will be featured throughout all the handwriting and phonics curricular materials to continually remind children which letters are Super C's.
Basically, Super C teaches children that if they can make a 'c', they can also make lower case letters 'a', 'd', 'g', 'o', 'q' and 's.' Upper case Super C letters include: C, G, O, Q and S. Like action figure super heroes, we hope to excite children about Super C so they remember his alter egos.
At one point, I surrounded a yellow happy face that had a muscled arm coming out of one side of his head with a big red C. That's something I'd still like to see developed as one possibility. But other ideas are welcomed and desired, too. We'd be interested in seeing Super C in a variety of poses (10 would be great). Consider adding legs and a cape!
We need a unique image for the Super C character. Remember to emphasize the letter C, but personify it any way you want as long as it makes you laugh, smile or think.
Create a comic strip of 6-8 frames. Start the story line with confused children in a classroom struggling to print. Super C comes to the rescue, carrying away all their sloppy, misshapen letters and burying them with a bulldozer. Next, he teaches them the trick. First make a c, then turn it into an... a, d, g, o, q or s. The children parade around with Super C on their shoulders. Lastly, he flies away.
The 6-8 frame comic should fit an standard sheet of paper in landscape mode.
We're looking for both the comic strip pictures and the individual pictures of Super C. We need the latter alone so we can drop him into other appropriate curricular pages. The action figure of Super C should have various facial expressions and seem to be moving, sitting, standing, flying, peeking out from behind a door, etc. These action figures can be up to 10 cm long. We'll wrap our text around them.
We especially need a single tightly formed picture that can be shrunk into a 9 mm X 6 mm space above the Super C letters on the Alphabet strips in the workbook. The same figure must enlarge to 1.5 cm X 1 cm for another teaching tool being developed.
Lastly, we need a removable 'c' that can overlay the actual letters.

The Center for American Progress has a new weekly feature examining "tax expenditures" in the Internal Revenue Code. As I've written before, there ain't no such thing as a tax expenditure. Or a tax subsidy. Targeted tax breaks are bad because, on balance, they expand government's control over the people. But they are not "expenditures" or "subsidies." Using either of those terms implies that the money not collected by the IRS because of a targeted tax break actually belongs to the federal government, rather than the people who earned it.
The Left would love to convince everyone that, as the Center for American Progress writes, "Tax expenditures are really just federal spending programs administered by the Internal Revenue Service." If everyone believes that this is really federal spending, then when Congress eliminates those "tax expenditures" maybe no one will notice that Congress is actually extracting resources from the private sector.
That very deception appears to be the aim of the Center for American Progress' new feature. Their first "Tax Expenditure of the Week" is the exclusion for employment-based health insurance. They use the "tax expenditure" concept to argue that ObamaCare's 40-percent "Cadillac tax" on high-cost health plans is actually a good thing:
The tax exclusion for employer-sponsored health care benefits is the largest tax expenditure and one of the most important. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act takes steps to make it more targeted and cost effective in the context of overall health care reform. Other tax expenditures should be similarly evaluated and considered in the context of the policy goals they serve.
See? ObamaCare doesn't raise your taxes. It reallocates a tax expenditure. George Orwell, call your office.
(To be clear: I favor eliminating all targeted tax breaks, even the personal and dependent exemptions, and having everyone pay the same low, low, low rate. Eliminating tax breaks for health care is essential for bringing medical care within the reach of low-income people. But the exclusion for employer-sponsored insurance is a particularly sticky wicket, such that reform will need to happen in two steps. Here's the first step.)

Tiny silica spheres put the disco in disco clams
Disco clams get their name from the light show shimmering from their lips. The dazzling display is not given off by the mollusk itself. Instead, the electric effect is the result of light reflecting off of tiny silica spheres underneath the clams' lips, researchers report June 25 in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface. The spheres are about the right size to scatter visible light, especially bluer wavelengths, and could be a signal for younger clams or other nearby species, the team writes.
For more on the electric light show, read SN's It's Alive on disco clams.

A Truth Journal: Stupid Grilling of Sec. Clinton on Benghazi: Funny Colbert and Jon Stewart Weigh In: From Denny: .... Both sides were overkill. In the end, the Democrats looked a bit silly. It was the Republicans that came across smelling like 10 day old roadkill on a hot summer's night.
Sec. Clinton handled herself with diplomacy, strength of conviction and principles - and smart political maneuvering. She's ready for a run in 2016. And these idiot Republicans may just have given her cause to do so. Those guys never learn.
Here's a news clip from the hearing. Following are three clips featuring Stephen Colbert's and Jon Stewart's hilarious reactions to the political parade at the hearing. Of course, their clips contain portions of the footage from the actual hearing to prove their point: Too many Republicans end up members of The Total Putz Clan. 4 video clips.

April 23, 2005
FAIRFIELD, CT (April 23, 2005) - Sacred Heart senior Christian Lynch (Northport, NY) scored five goals on "Senior Day" but the Pioneers came up short, falling to Villanova University, 15-9, in Colonial Athletic Association lacrosse action Saturday afternoon. After a 4-4 first quarter, the Wildcats outscored SHU in the second quarter, 5-0, to take control en route to the win.
Villanova struck first, taking a 2-0 lead on goals by Matt Starker and Mike Haas in the first five minutes of play. Lynch scored his first of the day at the 9:22 mark to get the Pioneers on the board. The Wildcats would make it 4-1 after scored by Tim Atkins and Eric Heidenberger. SHU closed the quarter on a 3-0 run started by sophomore Peter Greco (Hamburg, NY) who finished a junior Kevin Walker (Rochester, NY) pass.
Junior Kiel Adams (Rome, NY) made it 4-2 off a feed from Matt Robideau (Massena, NY) at 3:59 and sophomore Rory Morse (E. Falmouth, MA) finished the run with a man-up goal a 2:25. The second quarter belonged to the Wildcats as they buried five of the 10 shots taken in the quarter while holding the Pioneers scoreless. Dan Fanelli started the run just nine seconds into the quarter and Brendan O'Donnell finished it with just 10 ticks left as the Wildcats went into the half with a 9-4 advantage.
SHU climbed to within 9-6 in the opening minutes of the third on a pair of Lynch goals at 12:19 and 12:00, the second coming off a feed from Adams. Another Villanova run gave the Wildcats a 12-6 lead with 5:32 left in the quarter. Chris Kramer, Starker and Heidenberger all found the back of the SHU cage to give Villanova a six goal cushion.
Another Lynch goal at the 1:44 mark was answered by Jon Urbana's first career goal just 25 seconds later to give the Wildcats a 13-7 advantage after three. `Nova struck quickly again to start the fourth as Fanelli tallied his second of the day. Pioneer scores by Walker and Lynch, his fifth, got SHU to within 14-9 but that would be as closed as they could come as the Wildcats tacked one more on in the closing seconds.
Villanova, now 7-6 overall and 3-2 in the CAA, was led by Starker who scored three goals and added an assist to his stat column. He also led the team with five ground balls in the win. Both Heidenberger and Fanelli each finished with three points apiece. Joe Canuso made 11 saves in the cage in earning the win for the Wildcats.
Lynch led all scorers with his career-high five goal effort. SHU got a goal and an assist apiece from Greco, Adams and Robideau. The Pioneers have now lost seven straight and fall to 4-8 overall on the year. SHU wraps up the CAA portion of the schedule with out a win at 0-5.
The Pioneers recognized seven graduating seniors this afternoon who have contributed both on and off the field to the success of the Sacred Heart men's lacrosse team over the past four years. Seniors Christian Lynch, Tom Latronica, Dana White, Ed Kitt, Chris Rosas, Jeff Monaco and Blake Reardon all were honored, along with their parents, before today's game.
The Pioneers will close the home portion of their schedule on Wednesday, April 27 hosting Holy Cross at 5 pm.

Author Notes: In my family, we always have leg of lamb at Easter -- usually with asparagus and some kind of roasted potato -- and it's always served with "mint sauce." Before you recoil from your computer screen in unbridled horror, let me assure you that this sauce bears absolutely no relation to that cloying, emerald green goop commonly known as "mint jelly." With this mint sauce, there is not a whiff of gelatin in sight, nor an inkling of that chemically engineered green hue. Rather, it's a simple condiment showcasing the bracing quality of fresh mint, made lively with the tang of vinegar and mellowed by a little sugar. This mint sauce is fleet-of-foot, capable of cutting through the richness of lamb with just the right mix of acid, fragrance and sweetness.
The recipe I've come to favor (in fact, I made it on Sunday) comes from one of my favorite resources for oldies-but-goodies: The Fannie Farmer Cookbook. I've tinkered with it a bit over the years, substituting sherry vinegar for white vinegar, using demerara sugar and amping up the mint. I also add a pinch of salt to really bring out all of the complementary flavors. Give it a shot the next time you make lamb -- I promise you'll be glad you did. —Merrill Stubbs
Makes: about 3/4 cup
cup sherry vinegar (you can also use apple cider vinegar)
cup demerara (raw) sugar
cup chopped fresh mint
pinch salt
- Bring the vinegar and sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Boil for a minute and then remove from the heat. Stir in the mint and salt and let the sauce sit until it comes to room temperature, at least 30 minutes. Serve with leg of lamb or rack of lamb.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

Ashton Kutcher is a lucky man.
FHM magazine has just named his girlfriend,Mila Kunis, "The Sexiest Woman in the World."
The 29-year-old actress edged out the likes of Rihanna (No. 2), Kate Upton (No. 8), Kaley Cuoco (No. 6), Katy Perry (No. 16), and Taylor Swift (No. 12) for the title. She's also the only woman who's not a Brit to top the list in five years! In 2012, British singer-songwriter Tulisa Contostavlos received the honor.
But this isn't the first time Kunis has been recognized for her sex appeal. In 2012, Esquire named her "The Sexiest Woman Alive."
Kunis, who has five films in the works, has been quietly dating her "That '70s Show" co-star Kutcher, 35, since about this time last year.
If nothing else, Mila's "sexiest woman" title should keep the "Two and a Half Men" actor on his toes.

Give Greg Olsen credit. The rookie tight end already understands the importance of not pointing fingers, particularly when it relates to the guy throwing you the football.
"We all have things that we can do better on offense," Olsen said. "Brian [Griese] is not the problem."
But Griese surely wasn't the answer in Sunday's 16-7 loss to the Lions at Soldier Field. The NFL's reigning offensive player of the week had four interceptions—all of which halted drives into Lions' territory—and finished with a 38.3 passer rating. Two of his passes were picked off in the end zone and one at the goal line.
The hero from the last-second win over the Eagles suddenly was showered with boos by the home crowd.
The Bears deserved to be jeered after a pitiful offensive showing.
"It's a tough loss for us," said Griese, who threw seven interceptions in two losses to the Lions this season. "Obviously, we all knew the importance of his game."
But did they? The Bears didn't play with a sense of urgency, falling to 3-5 and losing momentum going into their week off. They dropped into a deeper hole in the NFC North, with the Lions improving to 5-2, and the first-place Packers (5-1) set to play on Monday night.
A team once a favorite to return to the Super Bowl now has to wonder whether making the playoffs is a realistic goal. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, 10 NFL teams in history have recovered from 3-5 starts to make the playoffs.
Cornerback Charles Tillman was asked if the Bears could fight their way back.
"Hell yeah," he said. "I'm going to go out swinging."
Tillman created a turnover by punching the ball out of Kevin Jones' hands, a ball recovered by Hunter Hillenmeyer. But other than that, the Bears didn't put up much of a fight.
The Bears' offense, given pretty good field position all day, squandered opportunities—partly because of Griese's poor throws and partly because of dropped passes. It didn't help that Cedric Benson had an average day running the ball, picking up 50 yards on 13 carries.
"It's kind of hit or miss," offensive coordinator Ron Turner said of the offense. "There were some good things, but not consistently being able to finish."
A defense expected to be healthier and stronger than in recent weeks again missed elementary tackles. Plus the defense had some blatant mental errors, with Adam Archuleta picking up a 47-yard, pass-interference penalty and Tommie Harris jumping offside with the Lions facing fourth-and-1 from the Bears' 2.
"I don't know if we need to switch something up or what," defensive back Ricky Manning Jr. said of the defense. "We've got to look at film. I don't know what the heck we're doing out there."
A return game touted as the league's best never got going because the Lions were smart enough to kick away from Devin Hester.
The only real opportunity Hester had turned into a 39-yard punt return and set up the Bears' only touchdown—Griese's 20-yard pass to Olsen in the third quarter.
Outside of that score, the offense was sluggish. The Bears were shut out in the first half against a Lions defense ranked near the bottom of most statistical categories.
Their best first-half opportunity to score, outside of Robbie Gould's missed 40-yard field-goal attempt in the first quarter, came with 5 minutes 34 seconds left before halftime.
Griese and Benson helped the Bears move the ball from their own 45 to the Lions' 26. But on third-and-6, Griese dropped back and fired left toward a streaking Mark Bradley but was picked off by safety Kenoy Kennedy.
Bradley was the intended receiver on two of Griese's intercepted passes. The second was tipped by Lions cornerback Keith Smith and picked by safety Gerald Alexander with 6:55 left in regulation.
"The ball was a little short," Bradley said. "I don't know if Griese could have stepped into it. I had got word that he had pressure in front of him, so he couldn't step into it."
Griese was shaken up on the second interception, and Rex Grossman started throwing on the sideline. But Griese returned to the game, only to be sacked on the second play of the next possession.
Lions quarterback Jon Kitna made the Bears look defensively challenged, completing 24 of 35 passes for 268 yards with no interceptions while shaking off four sacks. Jones had 105 rushing yards on 23 attempts, including a 4-yard blast up the middle for a touchdown and a 34-yard sprint that set up a field goal by Jason Hanson. Hanson had three field goals, including a 52-yarder.
Credit the Bears defense for keeping the Lions out of the end zone a number of times. Yet none of that mattered for a team that has absolutely no margin for error heading into the second half of the season. They'll try to recover starting with a Nov. 11 road date with the Raiders.
"No sense in giving up right now," Tillman said. "That's not this team. We never quit."

Found It! Taylor Swift's Red Lace Dress
Getty Images; Courtesy Photo
Taylor Swift was sassy in scarlet! The country singer, who released her latest single this morning, performed at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas wearing yet another red dress. This time, however, it was quite an appropriate choice considering that the title of her upcoming album is, in fact, Red. And now you can look red hot, too! Swift's lacy number is French Connection's fit-and-flare Iris dress, available on usa.frenchconnection.com for $198. So, may we suggest that you pick one up and slip it on the next time your ex needs reminding that you're never ever getting back together?
