Shia LaBeouf gets cuffed after bar fight
Hollyscoop reports Shia LaBeouf was cuffed after being involved in a bar fight Friday night, but he was eventually released.
The actor was reportedly enjoying his time at Mad Bulls Tavern in Sherman Oaks, CA., but at some point during the night he got into an altercation with another guy.
According to onlookers, "he was hanging at the bar, then we just saw him charging for some guy."
When police arrived, LaBeouf was placed in handcuffs but after a 20-minutes talk with the actor, he was released.
This isn't Shia's first encounter with the cops. In 2007 he was arrested for misdemeanor criminal trespassing and in 2008 for drunk driving after injuring his hand and knee.

Resident Evil 2
a game by Capcom
Platform: Nintendo 64
See also: Monsters Games, Resident Evil Games, Zombie Games
The horror, the horror
Moaning zombies! Exploding heads! Murderous genetic mutations! Bad acting! It can only be Capcom's Resident Evil 2, and now, more than 18 months after it spewed blood over PlayStation owners, it makes the jump to the tombstone-like slab of an N64 cartridge.
Since N64 owners have been denied a chance to witness the events of the first Resident Evil game. Resident Evil 2 has some extra files lying around the place that help fill in the history. The overall villain of the whole series is the corrupt Umbrella corporation (don't you love it when the Japanese just apply English words at random?), which has been experimenting rather sloppily with viruses that can alter the genetic make-up of living beings. The unfortunate side-effect of this is that almost every human that comes into contact with the virus turns into a flesh-eating zombie!
The first game focused on a pair of cops, Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine, who uncovered Umbrella's plot and had to battle way to safety through an army of zombies. Now, the heroes are Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield, a rookie cop having a miserable first day on the force and the sister of Chris paying him an unexpected visit respectively. It's up to them to escape from the zombie-filled environs of Racoon City (more great Japlish) and do what they can to stop the Umbrella conspiracy from opening wider.
Flash Eaters
For a long time, naysayers insisted that it would be impossible to transfer Resident Evil 2 to the N64, simply because of the size of the game - the PlayStation version came on two CDs, or a hulking 10400Mbits in Nintendo terms - that's the equivalent of over 160 carts the size of Super Mario 64! Yet the game is all here. Developer Angel Studios has taken a pint pot and managed to squeeze a supertanker into it.
Impressively, the game contains all c the PlayStation's FMV cut-scenes - and that's quite a lot. Even with a massive 5i2Mbit cart to play with (that's a whopping 64Mb, or the memory of a typical modern PC) the footage has had to be massively compressed, which often results in graininess and major pixelisation, but it's still dear enough to show you all the gory, nasty details.
Resident Evil 2 is played out with polygon characters superimposed over pre-rendered backdrops. If you have an Expansion Pak, all the characters are in hi-res, but the backgrounds stay the same whatever mode you're in. As for as we could tell, the N64 version of Resident Evil 2 is an exact translation of the PlayStation game, I with a couple of extra features added to I keep people on, their toes. The compression used to fit all of the backgrounds into the cart does give an odd Scooby Doo kind of look to things - all the polygonal characters and objects stand out a mile from the slightly blurry pre-rendered scenery. On the plus side, it makes spotting objects easier.
Dawn of the Dead
The biggest change in gameplay - and a most welcome one - is the addition of a proper analogue control system to the game. Although you can play with the PlayStation's d-pad move-rotate-move system if you want, the 'first person' (actually nothing of the sort) method is a lot better. It does take a little practice to get used to it, because the system that the programmers have used to deal with changes in camera angles as you move about a room isn't always 100 percent effective, but it's massively superior to the digital control once you get the hang of it. Dodging crowds of zombies is no longer the nightmare it was - now you just point the stick in the direction you want to run, and leg it!
There are initially two ways to play the game. At the start, you get to choose between controlling Leon or Claire. Leon's mission is slightly harder, because Claire is able to carry more items, and also has a lockpick that she can use to get extra first aid sprays out of locked cupboards. Their missions are also slightly different, the two meeting different people along the way.
Capcom calls the Resident Evil games 'survival horror', which in practice means they're adventure games with a lot of fighting and the occasional shock moment. If you're not expecting the latter, they really do make you jump - we can vouch for that! Helping the atmosphere enormously are the sound effects and music, which create an uneasy feeling that something horrible is about to happen. It's a technique that's been utilised in films for decades when directors want to get the audience shivering with anticipation for the next fright, and it works just as effectively on a videogame.
Bite Me
The adventure part of the game comes from the numerous puzzles that have to be cracked to open up new areas. If there's one area where Resident Evil 2 suffers, it's here - in a game where such effort has been put into making everything feel realistic and creating a suitably unnerving atmosphere, the realisation that the puzzles are as contrived and illogical as anything you'd find back in the days of text adventures on the ZX Spectrum is a bit disappointing. Having to find hidden jewels and medals to unlock doors almost feels out of place. One moment you're blasting zombies in the face with a shotgun, the next you're poncing about pushing statues onto pressure pads.
Fortunately, the game as a whole is strong enough to overcome this annoyance, and also the terrible acting in the plentiful cut-scenes. Even so, one missed opportunity with this cartridge- based incarnation of the game was the chance to fix the long pauses in conversations as the PlayStation loaded in each piece of speech from CD. It might have meant having to re-time the animation in the cut-scenes, but it would have avoided the inadvertently comic Pinteresque pauses when characters talk. "Take this!" Pause "But-" Pause "Go now!" Very long pause until your character twigs that the object being thrust into their face is actually a gun and not, say, a piece of cheese
Crimson Tide
Gore and horror are what the Resident Evil games built their reputations on, and N64 Resident Evil 2 lives up to the family motto of 'Goreus Maximus Splattus'. If you're a wuss, you can lower the level of violence (within limits - firing a crossbow into somebody's stomach is hardly a caring act, even if the victim is already dead) and change the colour of the blood to green, or even blue for that aristocratic feel. Hey, they've got to do something now the House of Lords has been dumped. However, any normal person will instantly whack the violence level to full and the blood to the reddest of all reds so they can play the game as Its makers truly intended.
Zombies are everywhere, but luckily they're neither smart nor quick on their feet. They can take up to eight pistol shots to put down for good, though, so it's often to your advantage simply to dodge them and save ammo. Unfortunately, there are plenty of other enemies, and they're not as easy to get away from! The giant spiders lurking in the sewers are probably the most unpleasant monsters on the N64, and they're by no means the most deadly creatures you'll encounter.
This is a game that offers a lot of challenge. Even If you know exactly where everything is and can take out each monster with the minimum number of shots, completing the game will still take you over two hours. First-time players can expect to multiply that estimate by at least five, and can also expect to have their character tom to pieces and eaten at regular intervals. Completing the game isn't enough, though - to get the 'good' ending you have to have already beaten game characters, and then play through it again - this time with the vital objects you need scattered throughout random locations! We didn't have time to find out if the two secret characters (Hunk and Tofu) are in the game, but since everything else made it across from the PlayStation we're pretty certain that they are. That's a future Scorezone challenge sorted out, then!
Bloody Marvellous
Resident Evil 2 is not just a great game, but also proof that the N64 can do the supposedly impossible when developers put their minds to it. Fitting a two-CD game onto a single cart is an incredible achievement, and N64 Resident Evil 2 plays exactly the same as the PlayStation game - it even has a few extras. It's also a very welcome move away from the legions of character-led platform games that have recently been infesting the console, giving gamers the chance to play something a bit different. Given the choice of fighting cartoon crocodiles by bombarding them with fruit, or blowing the living dead clean in half with a 12-bore and having their rotting torso keep crawling after you, there are plenty of people who would much rather do the latter.
Sure, there are some people who'll complain that the backgrounds aren't as sharp as they should be, or that the speech is rather tinny; but since it's a choice between either compressed audio and video or no game at all, that's a pointless argument.
What you get with Resident Evil 2 is not only the best version to date of a fantastic game, but a new N64 title with enormous longevity, vast challenge and enough brain-exploding gore to choke Jason Vorhees. So it's a PlayStation port, and a fairly old one at that. So what? It's also an absolute must-have game. If you're old enough to buy it, buy it. If you're not, get someone else to buy it for you and 'assure' them you'll play it with the gore turned off. What better way could there be to start a new century than with gored and blood-soaked ultra-violence?

**When Capcom revealed that they'd decided to join Nintendo party, we were pleased. When they told that their first game on the N64 would be a Tetris game starting Mickey Mouse, we were a little disappointed. It was a bit like booking David Bowie to play at your birthday party, only to be disappointed by him performing only his 'fantastic' new material. **
Thankfully, by the time Magical Tetris Challenge appeared, Capcom had come to their senses, and proceded to port their hugely successful Resident Evil 2 from the PlayStation to the N64/ It was always going to be a huge undertaking, especially as the plan from the start was to squeeze everything –including the game's impressive pre-rendered cut-scenes- into a 512Mbit cart. Have Capcom managed to puli it off? Read on to find out…
Ghost House
Until Leon takes the train to the Umbrella Organisation's secret laboratory, the Raccoon City Police Station is where much of Resi 2 takes place, with new areas of the cop shop opening up as you solve puzzles and find keys - think of it as a smaller, zombie-infested, indoor version of Zelda's Hyrule Field if you like. At first the number of cryptic messages, hidden jewels and keys in the police department seems to stretch credibility - but a twist in the tale late in the game reveals that the officers of Raccoon City aren't quite as innocent as they seem...
Hi-Resident Evil
Resident Evil 2 utilises the expansion pak, and to stunning effect. With enhanced visuals, the real time 3D of Leon and his zombie friends is virtually indistinguishable from the incredible pre-rendered backgrounds, and moves slickly at all times. In high-res. it's also a lot easier to see your way (and make out lurking nasties) in the murkier areas of the game.
Make The Undead Dead
Only half of Rea 2's puzzles consist of finding keys - you'll also need to track down bigger and better guns if you're hoping to stay alive.
Useless. A zombie will only succumb after approximately 25 stabs with the knife, so it's imperative never to run out of ammo for your guns.
With at least three shots needed to take down the weakest of zombies, the pistol is pitifully poor.
Handy for shooting the beaks off crows, though.
This noisy beauty is able to knock down several of the undead with one shot, and it's the only option against the crawling, head-eating Lickers.
This is more like it. When you bump into Resi 2's bosses, or a giant acid-spitting spider, the booming Magnum is the weapon of choice.
The range of blood-sucking bad guys in Resi 2 is surprisingly small, but they're a horrifying bunch, and have a habit of bumping into you just as you sprint around a blind comer. The default shambling zombies are bad, the advanced, 'naked' version is worse, and the 'Look mum no legs!' torso-only variation, which claws its way forwards and bites into your shins, is truly skin-crawling.
Honourable mentions also to the man-sized tarantulas, the mutant leaping dogs, and the giant moth near the end of the game, which sadly can't be killed by putting a lightbulb nearby and waiting for it to bum its own wings off.
The first words that you see as the Resident Evil 2 cart starts up are "This game contains excessive violence and gore". And it isn't joking. We can't find a more appropriate phrase to describe a young man's body splitting in half from neck to waist and a blood-drenched insect crawling out of his ravaged intestines and scuttling away into the sewers, than 'excessively gory'.
Capcom's Resident Evil series has been serving up this unique brand of stomach-churning magic on the PlayStation for several years. The first game - which we'll never see on the N64 - featured a crack police squad being bumped off one by one as they explored a zombie-filled mansion. This sequel, arriving on Nintendo two years after its first appearance on Sony's grey box, stars another policeman, another giant building (Raccoon City police station), and another batch of the moaning, shambling undead.
Despite Resident Evil 2 being hailed as state-of-the-art back in 1997, this version is bound to disappoint you at first, because it has its roots in an era before Super Mario 64! arrived to carve up the rules and boundaries of gaming. The awkward 'rotate and run' controls (the most effective control system of those on offer) belongs to a time before analogue sticks - which is why using the D-pad feels more natural - and the need to actually press a button to climb stairs is almost endearingly antiquated. Frustratingly, even the infamous Resident Evil door-opening animation - designed to mask loading times on the original CD version - pops up between rooms on the N64 cart.
However, thanks to its power to shock, surprise and scare half to death, Resi 2 is still an utterly absorbing adventure. The map is small, and filled with only a handful of different monsters, and yet you'll never get the chance to relax. At every turn you'll find impressive pre-rendered cut-scenes, stunning backdrops, haunting movie-quality music and ingenious camera angles employed to maintain the intense atmosphere of foreboding and fear. Whether Leon is slowly backing away from approaching zombies, tip-toeing around a mutant dog feeding on human remains, or sprinting down a darkly-lit corridor towards who knows what, you will be scared rigid.
Admittedly, since Resi 2 appeared on the PlayStation, we've been spoiled by the character acting in games like Acclaim's Shadowman, and, subsequently, the 'quality' of Resi 2's cut-scene acting occasionally ruins the moment. Leon often reacts to grisly deaths and bleeding colleagues with a nonchalant "Oh, man!", as though he'd just dropped a pound coin down a drain, and his hopeless flirtatious asides to various females will make you squirm. The visual acting isn't any better: near the end of the game, a woman is crushed beneath a falling roof support. It's meant to be dramatic - instead, it's unintentionally hilarious.
But not even hammy acting can dampen the thrill of Resident Evil 2's many shocks and scares. Your enemies are genuinely frightening - zombies which make sudden lunges as you sprint past, cockroaches which envelop and kill you if you pause for a second, dogs which won' run unless you do - and they're topped off by some of the most hair-raising moments in gaming history. We won't spoil them for you, except to describe the feeling of utter dread we experienced as we searched a dead body in an eerily quiet corridor, and found ourselves reading the words, "It's head is missing. 11 seems to have been twisted off".
Unsurprisingly, in a game based so heavily on one-off incidents, the actual game takes a back-seat to jump out of your seat moments. The most you'll be expected to do is work out that a diamond-shaped key fits a diamond shaped lock, or find a missing cog for a broken clock. In fact, the puzzles soon begin to get in the way of the continuing story, with all the running back and forth needed to fetch, store, retrieve and use objects and keys. More than once, when we found Leon's tiny pockets full at precisely the point where we needed to grab a vital object, we intentionally wasted a first aid spray in order to avoid running all the way back to one of the game's item storage chests.
It's lucky, then, that most of Resi 2 involves shooting the limbs off increasingly gruesome monsters. The controls will frustrate you, with the nonanalogue aiming making some of the boss battles more difficult than they should be, but every moment with a monster is so perfectly pitched - you'll never have enough weaponry or ammo to make any fight a formality - that the game is pleasingly challenging from start to finish. That's something that few non-Nintendo N64 games can boast.
There's not all that much to Resident Evil 2 - the main game will only take a few hours to complete, the bonus quests featuring Leon's sidekick Claire and other characters are gimmicky, and the N64-exclusive 'object location randomizer' doesn't add much in the way of longevity. But what there is will hook you immediately and completely - and if it doesn't have you leaping from your chair in shock at least once, you must be dead.
Zombie came is Resident Evil 2
As we revealed a couple of months back, Capcom is definitely releasing a Resident Evil game for the N64. More details have now come through -- development will be handled by American software house Angel Studios, and the game itself will be based on PlayStation Resident Evil 2... with some improvements.
Many people were sceptical about fitting a Resident Evil game onto a cartridge, but Angel Studios has developed some special compression software for the numerous detailed backgrounds for each scene. The software works so well that N64 Resident Evil 2 may even be in hi-res! Exploding zombies in 640 x 480 resolution... mmm.
Resident Evil 2 is due for a Christmas release. How the PlayStation's story-advancing movie scenes will be translated has yet to be decided, but the N64's instant loading should at last see the end of those annoying waits to open doors!

2005-02-24 at 9:34:00 am #10498Jobless Claims Rise, Factory Orders
Orders to U.S. factories for big-ticket manufactured goods fell 0.9 percent in
January, the worst showing in three months, as demand for commercial aircraft
fell sharply, the government reported Thursday.
The Commerce Department said that demand for durable
goods, items expected to last three or more years, dropped by $1.7 billion last
month to a seasonally adjusted $200.4 billion.The weakness was led by a 27.1
percent plunge in orders for commercial aircraft.
The overall decline was larger than expected,but it
followed two months of strong gains. Orders were up 1.4 percent in December
after an even larger 2 percent rise in November. They fell by 1 percent in
In a second report, the
Labor Department said that the number of Americans filing new claims for
unemployment benefits rose by 9,000 to 312,000. The slight increase had been
expected given that weekly claims had been declining in recent weeks. The
four-week moving average of claims, designed to smooth out week-to-week
volatility, dropped by 3,250 to a four-year low of 308,750.Economists said the level of
claims indicates that the job market is continuing to gain strength after a
prolonged stretch of weakness.Analysts had expected some
cooling off in factory orders in January, given that the series is extremely
volatile and there had been strong gains in the previous two months. But the
extent of the decline took them by surprise.The U.S. manufacturing sector
suffered the most in the 2000 recession and has struggled to regain its footing
since that time. Nearly 3 million manufacturing jobs have been lost as U.S.
factories have faced rising competition from foreign competitors.
For January, the big drop in
orders reflected a decline of $2.17 billion in demand for commercial aircraft
and parts, which fell to $5.84 billion last month. The 27.1 percent drop in this
category followed a 16.8 percent decline in December.Orders for autos and auto parts
were also down, dropping 3.8 percent to $38.15 billion. Analysts had expected a
slowdown in this area as auto dealers struggle to reduce a buildup of unsold
cars.Excluding transportation, durable
goods orders rose by 0.8 percent last month following a 2.8 percent surge in
December.Demand for primary metals such as
steel rose by 1.6 percent while demand for kitchen appliances and other

I'll write soon with trip updates that include a conference, crawfish, and President Bush!
Friday, June 18, 2010
I'm happy to report that my infection is MUCH better. For about a week I was unable to sit on my right side, walk correctly, or even take a bath. (Don't worry, I did shower with difficulty) The wound is still open, but is almost completely gone. Praise God that this infection was not worse and I am being healed. A little bit of advice - don't scratch mosquito bites, especially ones on your butt. Also, wash your hands a lot!
As for my sweet Wilkemberg, I wrote a final letter, sent a picture and final donation, and said my goodbyes. He is a very special little boy and I am happy that I was given time to get to know him. Keith and I discussed whether or not we wanted to sponsor another child, and to be honest I was a bit hesitant. Why on Earth would I want to get involved again when at any moment the child could leave me? That's when I realized this isn't about me. At. All. This is about those children in need. Proverbs 22:6 tells us to "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." And that's exactly what we plan to do.
I hope you all have a great Friday and a fantastic weekend! Today is my sister's 22nd birthday and tomorrow we are headed to the beach to celebrate! :o) On Sunday, I leave for a 5 day business trip to New Orleans! (No really, it's for my work, I promise!)

one week
Since I last blogged I have been dealing with two situations in particular that have been weighing down on me. While I had no control over either, I feel like I could have done a lot to help prevent these from happening. Let me explain...
Last Friday, I noticed that I had a mosquito bite in a very unexpected place. This bite was on my tushy...right at the part where I sit. This bite was not special, just itchy. I tried not to scratch but I couldn't help myself. It was driving me nuts!! By Monday, my little mosquito bite was very irritated and was no longer responding to the Benadryl and Neosporin. On Tuesday I went to the doctor and was told that my bite was now a staph infection.
I am going to spare you guys the disgusting details, but I will say that they had to cut the infection out. I've had surgery once before and suffered in the past from Endometriosis, but I have never felt pain like this. It is a constant shooting/burning pain and the only thing that helps is when I lay on my tummy and take my pain killers. I am heading back to the doc this afternoon for a checkup so that we can make sure my infection is going away and not getting worse.
Needless to say, I am not a happy camper. If I would have just left the bite alone I would not be going through all this pain. (Forgive me for being Captain Obvious)
The second situation also occurred last Friday. I was online fixing to pay my contribution for my 2 sponsored children, when I noticed that my oldest child, Wilkemberg, was missing. My heart sunk, and at that moment I knew something was very wrong. Unfortunately, this wasn't the first time this happened to me. I immediately called Compassion to find out what was going on. What they told me next broke my heart.
The man I spoke with told me that Wilkemberg's parents removed him from the program. He is no longer attending school, Bible class, or church. He did write me a final letter, and they suggested that I do the same.
This is a picture of sweet Wilkemberg. I didn't have a digital file, but I did want to share him with y'all. For the past 2.5 years Wilkemberg and I have written letters back and forth. I have received pictures and drawings from this precious little boy. In February, I wrote about Wilkemberg calling himself my sponsored son and the joy I felt when I read this. One of the last letters I received from him was the one below...
Dear sponsor Lindsey. I'm so happy, I took an outing with the project, it was so nice. I like Luke 18:27. The impossible for men are possible to God. I'm learning English with an American teacher, I'm loving the project, the school front is beautiful, how are you? I'm fine. You look beautiful in that photo. My favorite sport is soccer. From your sponsored son Wilkemberg. Happy Birthday and a good wedding. Be happy! Many Kisses.
Compassion is an excellent organization that helps children all over the world become sponsored. However, this is the second time a child that I have built a relationship with leaves. I know they have no control over this, but I am heartbroken. Just recently I was talking to Keith about taking a trip to Brazil to meet Wilkemberg...I thought I was going to be able to watch him grow into a man...I thought I'd always be able to help him.
I don't know why his parent's removed him from the program, but I feel like there's something I could have done to help them out. I feel like I didn't pray enough or write to them enough or send enough to them....the list goes on and on. The only thing I can do is cling to the fact that God has everything under control, and that includes whether or not I understand the situation.
***Please pray for Wilkemberg and his family. Pray that the Lord consumes their lives and that He would keep them safe. Also, please pray for my staph infection to go away. I would really like to be pain free again...***

a wonderful wedding
This past Sunday, my brother-in-law and sister-in-law got married. My husband and his two brothers were all engaged at the same time, and this was the last of the three weddings. :o) I was fortunate enough to film their wedding, and I have to say that I truly had a great time capturing their precious moments. The wedding was absolutely gorgeous, and so were the Bride and Groom. Since I was filming, I didn't take any pictures so I had to borrow this one from Facebook.
Aren't they beautiful?
It's been 6 months since I last filmed a wedding, but I was so comfortable behind the camera. Keith and I were married in March, and even though I adored being a Bride and marrying my sweet, I would MUCH rather be on the vendor side of things. Way. Less. Stress.
Before I moved to South Carolina in 2009, I would film as many as 8 weddings per month in Louisiana. Now that I'm in SC and just starting the business here, I have few weddings to film and even less time to edit. A part of me wishes that this was my full-time job, but I know that now is not the time. With school, work, and everything in between I just don't have the time to make this a bigger priority. I did find this clip of a pre-ceremony I edited last year that I wanted to share with y'all.
I am very much looking forward to editing Stephen and Ivey's wedding. Keep an eye out for their movie trailer that I will be working on in the next few weeks. Also, I hear that my Aunt is working on my movie trailer, so I'll be sharing that with y'all, too! :o)
Happy almost Friday!!!

The Franks were a confederation of West Germanic tribes that lived in the 3rd century north and east of the Lower Rhine. Under the Merovingian dynasty, they founded one of the Germanic monarchies which replaced the Western Roman Empire from the 5th century. The Frankish state consolidated its hold over large parts of western Europe by the end of the eighth century under Charlemagne.
In the 3rd century AD, the Franks tribes included the Salian, Ripuarian, Sicambri, Chamavi, Bruteri, Chati, Chatuari, and Batavians. They inhabited the lower Rhine valley and lands immediately to its east. In 358 AD, the Salian Franks poured over the Rhine into the Roman Empire, but they were accepted as an associate or allied people by emperor Julian the Apostate. By the end of the 5th century, with the fall of the Roman Empire, the Salian Franks extended their footprint on Roman soil to a territory including the Netherlands south and west of the Rhine, Belgium and Northern Gaul (northern France), where they encountered other peoples also of the Frankish ethnicity. Allied to the Romans, the Salian Franks fought alongside the Roman legions under the command of Flavius Aetius against the Huns at the Battle of Catalaunian Plains where Atila was thoroughly defeated.
The Salian Franks gave rise to the Merovingian dynasty with Clovis I, who proclaimed himself as King of the Franks, uniting all the Frankish tribes under one ruler. He conquered the Kingdom of Soissons of the Roman general Syagrius and expelled the Visigoths from southern Gaul at the Battle of Vouille, thus establishing Frankish hegemony over most of Gaul, excluding Burgundy, Provence, and Brittany, which he left to his successors, the Merovingians, to conquer.

I have a matrix z as below:
[1218 198
1218 22
1218 1441
1218 28
1219 34
1219 1789]
elements of matrix z (like 1218 and 1219) in first column are being repeated. I want another matrix which shows these elements only one time (without repetition) with their maximum values (1441 and 1789) in the 2nd column. so the final matrix (suppose p) should be of the form:
[1218 1441
1219 1789]
I am a novice in MATLAB Programming. Can anybody please help me?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Abdul,
There are several matlab functions you should learn about to solve these kind of problems. Try lookinf at help for the following colon, diff, find, and max. Since you want to look at groups based on the first column of z you can start with:
>> col1 = z(:,1)
col1 =
Then you can find where the change happens with diff
>> changeIndex = diff(col1)
changeIndex =
Then find where the change occurs with find
>> index = find(changeIndex)
index =
now make a vector of the values using the colon operator again
>> values = z(:,2)
values =
Now use max with the index calculated above
>> firstGroupMax = max(values(1:index))
firstGroupMax =
>> secondGroupMax = max(values(index+1:end))
secondGroupMax =
Now use find again to find the index of these values
>> index1 = find(values == firstGroupMax)
index1 =
>> index2 = find(values == secondGroupMax)
index2 =
Now form the new matrix from this information
p = z([index1, index2], 1:2)
p =
1218 1441
1219 1789
So that is the information that you need. You should be able to generalize this information and simplify the steps to solve your problem.
Hope this helps,

Welcome to the world of Portland teenager Andrea Marr, the bold, sexy, shy, often confused but always resilient heroine of Girl. Told in a voice that reads like the intimate diary of a young woman about to take life on full throttle, this wonderful debut novel chronicles Andrea's jittery journey from suburban mall to Portland's thriving underground rock scene - and back again, as she discovers sex, betrayal, and even love. A Catcher in the Rye for the "Grunge" generation, this instant classic will speak to anyone who has ever had to choose between the suffocation of conformity and the perils of rebellion.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Blake Nelson is the author of many young adult novels, including Recovery Road (now a TV series), the coming-of-age classic Girl, and Paranoid Park which was made into a film by Gus Van Sant. He lives in Portland, Oregon.From Kirkus Reviews:
A hyperactive debut novel of teen rebellion by a writer who watched too much MTV. When Andrea is a Portland, Oreg., high school sophomore, her friend Cybil calls her from the mall one day, frantic because she has shaved her head and it looks awful. Cybil then forms a rock band and begins to infiltrate the local music scene. At the same time, Andrea first lays eyes on Todd, a rock guru and all-round cute guy. Initially, Andrea is somewhat involved in high school goings-on and dates a popular older jock, but she begins to rebel by going to clubs to see Cybil's band (first named Bed Head, then Thriftstore Apocalypse, and finally Sins of Our Fathers) and buying vintage clothing. Andrea narrates her story (which reads like a diary, although it is not marked as such) breathlessly, and that energy is exhausting as she details all the superficial particulars of her life but fails to comment much on her own emotional state. One of Andrea's happiest moments comes when Cybil steers her and a friend to a clothing store called HOP!, ``the coolest place.'' Occasionally there are astute na‹ve-narrator insights (``the whole fun of high school is that everything is supposed to be everybody's business''), but more often than not, Andrea's teenspeak sounds like a bad Valley Girl parody (``And she tried to be cool but we were both like, Derek and Jonathan are gay!''). Nelson (who has written for Details magazine) does manage to cover early sexual experiences (both voluntary and involuntary) in a natural way, but Andrea's all-consuming crush on Todd is a drag on forward momentum, and Cybil--supposedly the narrator's closest friend--remains a cipher for much of the story. This may appeal more to the young- adult market, but those readers are sure to be extremely sensitive to any slips in authenticity. Like, not so great.

1524: German Peasants' War (aka the largest popular uprising in European history to that date).

12. The Blitz on London. A German bomber got lost and bombed central London, the RAF sent several bombers to hit German cities. Germany sent back twice as many, Britain did the same, and it all went downhill.

14. Its winter in Portland. I was at a bar until closing time with some friends. Once last call was over probably 30 or so of us that were still there stumble outside to find that it's been snowing a bunch. We proceed to have an impromptu snowball fight and its one of those great random moments in life that you'll remember forever!
Anyway, everyone's drunk and the snowballs start getting thrown harder and harder. Eventually someone hits someone else with a chunk of ice. Before you know it an all out brawl has started in the middle of the street. A massive street fight is happening! Some giant guy nicknamed Moose is pummelling one of my friends. His jacket is torn to shreds. Another friend heads to his car and grabs a flashlight out of his trunk and beats the Moose in the back until my friend can get away.... Then a car pulls up and a guy jumps out and asks me "what side am I on?" He jumps in and starts fighting people with no hesitation.
Shortly after we hear police sirens in the distance so my friends and I all take off to our car. But since its been snowing we're stuck. So we get out and start rocking the car back and forth until we get unstuck, pile in and take off before the cops got there.

16. The US Army/North Korea Axe Murder incident.
It started with a simple task by two US Army officers within the DMZ: cutting down a poplar tree blocking view between UN Command and an observation post. The officers were slain by the North during their work by the axes they held.
It ended up with a show of force of the South Korean and American militaries - over 800 men on the scene, countless attack helicopters, bombers, fighter jets, and a couple aircraft carriers (plus thousands of troops and other equipment on standby) to, as the UNC states, "peacefully finish the work left unfinished" and cut down that tree.

There are many reasons that people may decide to start working from home. Child-care costs can be unreasonable in some areas, and rising fuel costs can make commutes unaffordable. It is important to thoroughly research work-at-home opportunities, as many scam artists have made people looking for work their favorite targets.
Spotting a Scam
When doing research on work-at-home opportunities, many people find that they are bombarded with what seem to be legitimate offers for employment. Scammers have gotten better at disguising their operations as "business opportunities" or "contract work." Not all business opportunities or contract work are scams, and research is key to knowing the difference.
Online scams are abundant. Telling a legitimate online job from a scam can sometimes be a challenge, but it is easy to rule out any job that has an overwhelming number of typos or poor grammar, as this can point to a scam. Laws in foreign countries do not always allow for prosecution of perpetrators of scams on the Internet, and the anonymity of the Internet offers a hospitable environment for scammers and thieves. Never do business across international borders.
Another mark of a scam is too much emphasis on the benefits and pay of the position and not enough emphasis on the work that will be performed. In a real job opportunity, pay is often not discussed until the interview, and it is a reasonable amount. An offer to receive goods and ship them on with the promise of thousands of dollars in payment is a scam. If a job seems too good to be true, it probably is. Pass it up, and do not provide any personal information.
Business Opportunities
If a job requires money to begin, in a vast majority of cases it is either a scam or a business opportunity. Business opportunities often cloak their business model in a job post, but in reality the opportunity can cost money up front and does not promise the ability to make that money back. Business opportunities can be good, but they require a great deal of independent research before making a move that will cost money.
Where to Find a Job
As a general rule, true work-at-home jobs will not be advertised on street signs or in the newspaper. Due to the highly technical nature of true home-shored jobs, they are advertised online to target the right demographic for their positions.
There are some excellent places to review legitimate work-at-home jobs. The best places to look for information are forums and review sites that include information on the jobs and opinions from people who have worked for a company. Some websites post screened job listings; others are purely informational.
It is important to do research on a company by looking into their records with the Better Business Bureau and checking for evidence that they've scammed others in the past. Do an Internet search with the company name + "scam."

Bangalore: Ace leg spinner Anil Kumble, who is raring to return to action in international matches after a surgery on his right shoulder, said that he was making steady progress and was happy with the improvement. ''I am happy with the progress. Even Dr Mark Fergusson (leading shoulder specialist in the world) is impressed with the improvement,'' Anil Kumble told UNI. He (Dr Fergusson) had suggested some changes in the programme and ''I have started following it.''Asked how soon he would be returning to international cricket, he said it was too early to comment on it. ''I will be meeting Dr Fergusson again in April and after that I will be in a position to decide on my return to the competitive cricket.'' Kumble, who underwent a right shoulder surgery in South Africa in January, was with Dr Fergusson for about a week before returning here on March 15. The leg spinner has been out of action for nearly six months and has been undergoing a rehabilitation programme.He would be launching his ''The Perfect 10'' memorabilia on Saturday on the eve of the first One-day International between India and Australia. Anil Kumble became only the second bowler to take all ten wickets in a Test innings, after Jim Laker of England, when he bowled India to a victory with a perfect 10 in the second innings against Pakistan on February nine, 1999. Leading cricketers were expected to take part in the function.UNI

Engagement Cake With Turtles
My Niece and fiance are reptile and amphibian owners and I wanted to incorporate this into their cake. A very big thank you to "dabear" for the simplistic turtle design which I used. I tried to make turtles (with much grief) with separate body parts but this design was a cinch!! The side panels are meant to replicate the invitation and was piped with Royal icing. Thanks for looking!!

Karachi: Pakistan cricket chiefs on Tuesday sacked national coach Mudassar Nazar after a recent series of dismal team performances and said they want to re-hire Richard Pybus.
"Nazar had a detailed meeting with Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Lieutenant General Tauqir Zia in Rawalpindi and has relinquished his duties and will revert to the National Cricket Academy coach in Lahore," a PCB spokesman said. Nazar, a former opening batsman, is the latest victim of a regular culling of coaches since 1997. Javed Miandad, Intikhab Alam, Richard Pybus (all sacked twice), Haroon Rahseed, Mushtaq Mohammad and Waseem Raja have come and gone in the past five years. "Pybus, who is being considered as the potential Pakistan coach, is arriving in Pakistan for preliminary talks on September 20 or 21," the spokesman said. South Africa-based Pybus refused to visit Pakistan in September last year over security fears. Pakistan failed to reach the final of the inaugural Morocco Cup last month and was thrashed by Australia by 224 runs and nine wickets in the Kenya tri-series in August- September. Last week it went down by eight wickets to hosts Sri Lanka in the International Cricket Council (ICC) Champions Trophy. Pakistan's steep decline, after beating Australia two-one in the Super Challenge series in Australia in June, generated widespread talk of a crisis in the team and rifts among players. Ace batsman Inzamam-ul Haq is out of the forthcoming Test series against Australia with a heel injury. Experienced players Waseem Akram and Saeed Anwar have opted out of the series, saying they need a break. The first Test starts in Colombo on October 3 while the second and third games will be played in Sharjah from October 11 to 15 and October 19 to 23. Pakistan's Golden Jubilee series was shifted to neutral venues after Australia declined to tour the country on security fears.

Your answer is one click away!
I am using Bootstrap and I have 6 columns with icons/text inside them, when I hover over each column I need the background of the section to change in transition (hovering each column will change the background of the section to something different) also there is text and a button that will appear in each column.
I tried to do this with jQuery by having the 6 different variations in HTML and hiding/fading them in but this was too complicated:
$('.process-box').hover(function() {
}, function() {
Something along those lines, but there has to be an easier way to do this with CSS?
I have tried to apply this tutorial to my situation but I am having a hard time applying the same methods in my code: http://designshack.net/articles/css/swap-your-pages-background-image-on-navigation-hover/
I have set up a jsfiddle with the example: https://jsfiddle.net/hqa8k0ze/
I have somewhat figured out how to change the image with jQuery:
$('.content1').hover(function() {
$('.services-websites').css({'background-image': "url(images/services-apps.jpg)" , 'transition': "opacity 1s ease-in-out"})
}, function() {
$('.services-websites').css({'background-image': "url(images/services-websites.jpg)" , 'transition': "opacity 1s ease-in-out"})
The image does not change on the first hover it turns the background white first like the image disappears. Also for some reason the transition does not.
Also would I need six different functions to change the image on each column hover?
You can use opacity transition on hover of the columns:
opacity: 0;
.col-lg-2:hover .column-inner{
opacity: 1;
-webkit-transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out;
-moz-transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out;
-o-transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out;
transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out;
column-inner is a wrapper for the content in each column you want to show/hide and you simply transition its opacity in and out on hover of it's parent, the column it self.

Concord, NH - Tobacco merchant compliance with laws concerning tobacco
sales to youth in New Hampshire continues to increase according to the
latest SYNAR tobacco compliance report by the Department of Health and
Human Services (DHHS), Bureau of Drug and Alcohol Services (BDAS).
The report is based on attempted tobacco buys by supervised youth during
random compliance checks. The rate of retailers selling to youth dropped to
7.8% in 2010. This number is down from 8.6% in 2010, and a dramatic decline
from 14% in 2009. Research demonstrates that lower tobacco use by youth
also decreases the chance that they will use drugs or alcohol.
"This is very good news for New Hampshire children and their parents," said
BDAS Director Joseph P. Harding. "We know that tobacco use by youth harms
their development and increases their risk of using alcohol and other
drugs. The results show what can be accomplished by building partnerships
that address issues affecting the health and safety of our youth and
communities. We thank our partners for their vigilance in not selling
tobacco to underage youth."
SYNAR is a federally mandated effort to reduce tobacco sales to youth.
Three hundred ninety-two tobacco retailers across the State were surveyed
in this year's SYNAR tobacco compliance checks. The results of the checks
were well under the federal SYNAR requirement of 20%. BDAS partners with
the New Hampshire Liquor Commission (NHLC), Division of Enforcement to
conduct and report on the results of the compliance checks.
"The Division is charged with licensing, education and enforcement of
tobacco laws," said Chief Eddie Edwards, NHLC Director of Enforcement. "A
compliance check is an educational tool used to ensure voluntary compliance
of New Hampshire tobacco and alcohol laws. We are very pleased with this
year's tobacco compliance checks results. We feel the continued partnership
between liquor investigators, local police departments, youth volunteers,
and licensees is the secret to New Hampshire's success of nearly 93%
Data from the NH Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) demonstrated that youth
tobacco use dramatically increases their use of other substances. The
results of a survey of 22,000 students in the 2007 YRBS revealed that 27
out of 28 high school students who smoked also reported drinking.

More than $5.3 trillion is traded daily in foreign exchange market. That is around 53 times more than the total volume transacted daily in the New York Stock Exchange and around 4 times more than the Global GDP. Of this, 87% of total transactions are carried out with USD while Euro accounts for 33.4%. Together, these two currencies form the most popular pair in the forex market accounting to 24.1% of the total volume of traded pair.
Hence, before you invest in this highly volatile market and start trading with this popular pair, a preliminary EUR USD forecast is an absolute necessity.
"If you could get the courage to begin, you will have the courage to succeed." - David Viscott.
What is an EUR USD forecast?
Going by the books, forecasting is a technique of determining the direction of future market movements developed by the use of historical or past data. Investors use various tools to determine the market behaviour and help them in decision making. Just like any other global financial market, forex is highly liquid, and a host of global issues affect market prices.
Similarly, as the name suggest, EUR USD forecast involves taking all the past data and movements into account and predicting future movements of this pair. Being the currency of two of the largest world economy, many situations affect this currency pair, and effective forecast is developed based on few well-defined indices and tools.
What all can affect the currency pair's valuation?
Almost anything that affects the economy of the European Union and the United States. Be it 9/11 or year-long European Debt Crisis, every situation has an impact on currency valuation. Few can be listed below.
- Germany is the strongest among all on grounds of economy followed by France. Thanks to Germany's wide range of exports, Euro enjoys a stable valuation. Hence, any effect on Germany's economy will be reflected in the country's valuation.
- Greece comes at number 17 in the list of 48 countries in EU. If Greece would have voted out of the Union, it would have definitely impacted Euro's valuation.
- The United Kingdom is placed at number 3. Its decision of exiting EU on June 23, 2016, sent shockwaves throughout the global economy. This has already caused GBP to fall to its all-time low since 1985. Brexit also means that Britain will no longer contribute to EU's annual budget. This will certainly have an impact on Euro's valuation.
Forex EUR USD forecast takes into account all these and other similar global situations to formulate a forecast and future market behaviour of EUR/USD pair. A smart trader will make use of this turmoil and invest at the right time. Find out how you can do the same next.
Benefits of Forex forecasting to traders
Being the most traded pair in forex market, EUR/USD market quote suffers from sudden fluctuations, and proper investment will allow you to reap huge profits. You can benefit from forex EUR USD forecast in the following ways:
- Make timely purchase
Before making a purchase, you can scan through the forecast plot to decide if you are making the purchase at the peak stage or not. That is, if current valuation of EUR/USD is at 1.82 and the pair is not expected to rise in recent future, then your purchase is being made at the peak stage. It is better to wait for the market to fall again.
- Know how long to wait -
Proper forecasting will also help you decide how long to wait. Say the price has fallen to 1.68. Do you wait more or make the purchase now? This can be answered with EUR USD forecast. The curve will probably show that the market may rise to 1.79 and then steeply fall to 1.38 and continue to 1.11. Therefore, it is better to wait for the 1.11 mark than making the purchase at 1.68.
- Prevent too much loss -
Now, say, you already have Euros in your account, and market falls steeply to 1.11. You made your purchase at 1.38 against USD and incurred a huge loss. Question is, do you sell your Euros now or wait for the market to rise again? This can again be decided with the help of USD EUR forecast. If you see the market is set to hover around the 1.11 mark and rise again, then you should probably wait. But if the market is set to fall more to 1.05, then it is better to use stop loss.
- Make use of the falling market -
Also, EUR USD forecasting will help you to take advantage of the falling market. If your purchase is at 1.68 and the market falls to 1.38, you may sell the Euros at the present rate and wait for 1.11 mark. Buy more Euros at 1.11 and sell when valuation reaches 1.45 (say). This will help you to make up for the loss incurred initially.
Hence, proper and reliable EUR USD forecast will allow you to take advantage of every possible situation and make a profit at every stage. Predicting the future accurately and to be able to see it always helps, especially in the forex market.
"You only have to do very few things right in your life so long as you don't do too many things wrong." – Warren Buffet.
How is EUR USD forecasting done?
Interpreting the ultimate result of forex forecasting requires a proper understanding of what are the tools and indices considered before while developing a forecast or prediction about EUR/USD pair. There are four popular methods currently in use that help in generating an accurate EUR USD forecast, or any other currency pair forecast.
- Purchasing Power Parity (PPP)
PPP is comparing the cost of similar goods in different countries on the basis of their prices. For instance, a pencil will cost same in the US as it will cost in Spain, after taking into consideration all the exchange rates and shipping charges. Now suppose, the price in the US is expected to rise by 4% and in Spain, it rises by 2%. Then, this results in an inflation difference of 2%.
PPP will take this into account and predict that USD would have to depreciate by nearly 2% to maintain the parity among similar commodities. In real life, instead of a pencil, the Bid Mac or a hamburger serves as the commodity to develop the comparison.
- Relative Economic Strength
This approach of EUR USD forecast takes into account the economic growth of different countries in order to predict the market behaviour. This index is based on the rational assumption that a fast economically developing country, or an already developed one, will attract more foreign investors into the country. This will create a demand for the country's currency and raise its valuation.
Also, another deciding factor is interest rates. Strong economies allow low-interest rates. Also, few mid-ranged economies do the same in order to attract potential clients. This also increases the currency's demand and valuation. Again, low-interest rates can also repel investors from that country considering them as a declining economy.
- Econometric models
This index takes into account various economic factors to develop an estimate of a currency pair's future movements. These factors include GDP growth rate, income growth rate, recent international ties, and various others.
For instance, Germany's GDP increased by 1.7% in 2015 and a similar rise is expected in 2016 as well. Also, Germany's employment rate is set to increase over the next 3 years. This will have a positive effect on Euro, and its valuation is likely to increase against USD.
- Time Series Model
Time Series model is a purely technical approach to EUR USD forecast. It is not based on any economic theory or global analysis and is based on statistics. One of the popular time series tool put to use is Autoregressive Moving Average (ARMA) process. This takes into consideration years of historical data of Euro movement against USD and predicts future pattern.
It requires data to be put into a computer program, and software generates a future plot. At times, data can be as hundred years old and can be used to provide accurate future results. More data available, more the program's efficiency and accuracy.
No future prediction can be accurate. It is expected that there will be some deviation between the predicted and actual market. However, forex EUR USD forecast serves as a guiding tool before investing in this particular pair.
Market forecasting is not always software or tool dependent. It also depends on the trader's intuition and experience to analyse a given situation. It may so happen that EUR USD forecast is showing a fall from a market value of 1.38 to 1.11, but due to some recent event, the price rises to 1.50. Ultimately, all forecasting tools are software based, and sudden changes in the global scenario cannot be reflected instantaneously by a software.
Hence, a lookout as a trader is also important. Who wins US Presidential elections or where a civil war breaks out, everything counts when you are trading in forex. Accurate EUR USD forecast is priceless and may help you to gain huge profits in minimum time. Be informed and do your research. Happy investing!
