Topic: Business
80/20 Practitioners Make Better Communicators
Approaches that are either too general or too specific can easily overwhelm practitioners—and derail budgets. Fresh from recent experiences with two large-scale redesigns, Katie Kovalcin suggests that flexibility and open communication can transform all team members into what she calls "80/20 practitioners," creating a more effective balance of time and resources.
Looking Outside
Partners in a small, close leadership team—such as in a family business—often know each other's minds very well, and agree on most things. That's great to keep things running smoothly (though sometimes there's awkwardness when business disagreements intrude on home life). On the other hand, it can also lead to stagnation. Rachel Andrew is finding that an outsider's perspective can help when partners can't quite see eye to eye—or when they agree too much.
Stopping the Infighting About Digital Standards
Organizations that struggle with their digital presence often do so because they haven't established proper governance. But good governance is worth pursuing: clear policies and processes can answer questions, empower teams, and enable web strategies to shine. In this excerpt from Chapter 5 of Managing Chaos, Lisa Welchman explains the importance of digital standards—what they are, why they matter for governance, and how to start documenting them for your stakeholders.
The Love You Make
What's the best way to present your work on the web? It's not just about your portfolio pieces—it's also about cultivating your voice. Jeffrey Zeldman explains the importance of speaking and writing publicly as you build your online presence.
The Challenge for the Tiny Global Business
Long ago, a company had to grow to a certain size before it could embark on international trade. With digital goods, that's no longer so. Learning all the applicable laws and taxes can be daunting, but that's what allows the small business owner to stay independent as an exporter.
The Ways We've Changed—and Stayed the Same
A perusal of the article titles in the seasonal magazine 24 ways shows how the things we've needed to learn and keep up with have changed since 2005. Amid all this change, one thing that remains evergreen is the generosity of web people in sharing their knowledge.
Pricing the Web
If you plan to bill your clients, you need a method for putting a price on what you do. The variables are always money, time, and scope of work, but the way they relate to each other can bring different client motivations to the foreground and fit different agency needs.
Cultivating the Next Generation of Web Professionals
One of the most meaningful and lasting ways we can impact the future of the web is through the values and attitudes we instill in the next generation of web workers. Through informal mentoring, classroom outreach, internships, and more, we can offer support and opportunities to those new to digital professions. Georgy Cohen suggests practical ways to connect with students and welcome them wholeheartedly into the web community.
UX for the Enterprise
Enterprise UX often involves navigating cumbersome processes, ancient technology, and clients skeptical of design's value. Yet Fortune 500 companies are often the ones most in need of well-designed internal tools. Jordan Koschei takes us through common problems lurking in global organizations—and how we can improve people's lives by giving internal tools the same attention as consumer interfaces.
Help! My Portfolio Sucks
What if a lot of your past work reflects times when you satisfied the client, but couldn't sell them on your best ideas? How do you build a portfolio out of choices you wouldn't have made? Our very own Jeffrey Zeldman answers your toughest career questions.
Before You Hire Designers
If you're thinking of working with a designer for your next web project and aren't sure where to begin, Mike Monteiro has you covered. His new book, You're My Favorite Client, walks you through the entire process of finding, hiring, and working with a designer from a manager's perspective. In this excerpt from Chapter 2, Mike lays out the first steps for figuring out just what kind of designer you need in the first place—and how you'll find the right candidates for the job.
Client Education and Post-Launch Success
Our jobs don't end when we flip the switch at launch. It's our responsibility, in fact, to follow through and make sure the tools we build are used to their fullest potential—by taking the time to educate and train our clients. Drew Thomas demonstrates how teaching our clients to understand, wield, and embrace their new websites and digital strategies makes good business sense for everyone involved.
Getting to the Action
Was that conference worth it? There were smart tips and awesome people. Should you buy a ticket this year? For a freelancer or small business, it can be a significant expense. Wouldn't it be great to know if the investment in time and money is likely to move the business forward?
Dependence Day: The Power and Peril of Third-Party Solutions
"Third party or DIY?" It's a question we've all faced—but do you know how to answer it? Scott Fennell walks you through a better decision-making process for determining whether to stay in-house or look beyond your walls. Hint: it's all about assessing the risks and opportunities on both sides.
Being Profitable
So you own a business. It's the best job you've ever had, and it will be forever—as long as the business stays viable. That means understanding when it's profitable, and when you may have to make some adjustments. Don't worry—it doesn't require an accounting degree and it won't turn you into a greedy industrialist.
I Don't Like It
The most dreaded of all design feedback is the peremptory, "I don't like it." Rather than slinking back to the drawing board, it's important to get clarity on what the client is reacting to. Guiding this conversation can turn a show-stopper into a mutual win.
Structuring a New Collaborative Culture
Collaboration is crucial in creative ventures, yet building a culture that allows it to flourish can be tricky—particularly in traditional, hierarchically minded organizations. But with a little tweaking, any space has the potential to become a hotbed of connected thinking. As Rosie Manning learned recently, true collaboration thrives in an environment built on trust, openness, and flexibility.
Lessons Learned by Being the Client
Great ongoing business relationships are good for both sides. But often developers aren't in tune with their client's day-to-day business needs and where their work fits in. And clients' focus on immediate practicalities can make the developer's work stressful and unsatisfying. Well, what better way to learn about the needs of the other than by becoming the other?
Prototyping Your Workflow
Atomic design. HTML wireframes. Style tiles. We're all trying to adapt our processes, deliverables, and techniques to meet the challenges of the fast-moving, multi-device web. But replacing your workflow in one fell swoop is probably impossible—and who's to say someone else's guidelines will work for your team, anyway? Learn how Mark Llobrera's team let go of the idea of the perfect workflow, and embraced a more iterative approach to process change instead.
Living up to Your (Business) Ideals
We all want to do work that matches our values—that lets us live up to our ideals for the world. But we also want to keep the lights on, make payroll, and maybe even grow. How can we design our agencies, studios, or freelance businesses to do both? Geoff DiMasi says the answer is in establishing a vision for your work, and directly tying that vision to the way you evaluate prospective clients and projects—and he's here to help you get started.

So much for feeling safe because they have 24 security cameras throughout the facility and have a guard 24 hours a day. Bob can't figure out how they drove the MH out since the article didn't mention the gate being broken. Did they have a code? Was it someone who has a space in the storage facility or ...

None of us are free from them."-->'''Dane'''->"This lesson, you will not learn in school."-->'''Emily'''{{Very loosely based on|ATrueStory}} [[UsefulNotes/{{Columbine}} actual events,]] ''The Final'' is a 2010 horror film about a group of high school outcasts who lure their tormentors to a party, drug them, and exact their vengeance upon them.After being continuously bullied throughout HighSchool, and having all attempts at peace-making being met with laughs, Dane and his friends (Emily, Jack, Ravi and Andy) concoct a plan to not only get revenge, but to also send a message to the entire country. After learning in class about deadly chemicals and the torture methods of cultures past, and gaining inspiration from their vast collection of horror films, the desperate teens set up the Workley ranch house with webcams and create a party, inviting all of their bullies to attend. The five then pray to God to give them a sign to stop them, and when none comes, they carry out their plan.At the party, the five outcasts dress up in funny costumes that mask their identity, and serve spiked punch to their victims, knocking them unconscious. The five then change costume, creating a darker visage to wear as their persona. The guests awaken in chains, and Dane tells them that, for the years they spent abusing students that they saw as weak and helpless, they would pay for their sins: the bullies would not die, but by the end of the night, they will wish that they had.The film was part of the Creator/AfterDarkHorrorfest film festival.----!!This film contains examples of:* AbortedArc: When the outcasts are setting up their torture chamber, they mention how they are rigging the place with webcams in order to send a message to high school students all across the country. This is never brought up again. The filmmakers planned on following up on this in the sequel, but it's since fallen into DevelopmentHell.* AlphaBitch[=/=]GirlPosse: Kelly, Bridget and Heather.* AndIMustScream: Bernard is drugged so that he cannot move but can feel everything. Then, Emily sticks him in the throat with needle after needle, despite the desperate cries of his friends to stop. All the while, she remains completely silent.* AssholeVictim: The bullies.* BadassAdorable: Emily.* TheBadGuyWins: Yet it's debatable who is the real bad guy.* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Viciously averted.* BeautyToBeast: [[spoiler:Bridget and Heather get ''messed up'' by Emily's chemicals.]]* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The five make sure only to torture people who hurt them, although they force others to watch.** They also try to prevent Kurtis from coming in the first place, since he was their friend.** Emily genuinely doesn't want to hurt Bridget after she sincerely apologizes for her bullying, though she hurts Bridget anyway after Bridget refuses to torture Bradley.** Near the end, Dane tells Riggs that he wasn't tortured because, back in sophomore year, Riggs had offered to drive Dane home on a rainy night. However, Dane changes his mind when Riggs insults him to his face, [[spoiler:only stopping because Kurtis just came back to kill him]].* BewareTheNiceOnes: Before years of abuse warped them, the five were (and still are, to some extent) really nice kids. And Emily genuinely just wanted to be friends with the popular girls.-->'''Emily:''' "I wanted to be your friend. But now I'm going to be your enemy."* BlackAndGrayMorality: There are no good guys. Only varying levels of badness. (Except [[NiceGuy Kurtis]].)* BlackDudeDiesFirst: [[spoiler:Averted. Kurtis not only survives the entire movie, but also saves the day by calling the cops.]]** Played straight, however, with [[spoiler:Ravi, the TokenMinority among the outcasts. He is the first one of them to die, having been killed by Dane for freeing Kurtis.]]* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Kelly, Heather, and Bridget.* BlondGuysAreEvil: Bradley is indeed evil. And kinda pathetic too.* BreakTheHaughty: The goal of the outcasts. The [[TheBeautifulElite vain]] AlphaBitch and her GirlPosse [[spoiler:have flesh-eating chemicals slathered onto their faces to destroy their good looks and make them as ugly on the outside as they are inside]], while a womanizing JerkJock [[spoiler:is left paralyzed so that he will never play football or have sex again]].* BullyHunter: The five outcasts. [[BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil At first.]]* ButForMeItWasTuesday: Dane sees Bradley as the face of all that is wrong with the world, while Bradley sees Dane as just another faceless victim in the crowd.* ColdBloodedTorture: The outcasts' stock in trade.* CorruptHick: The DirtyCop who seizes the jocks' weed for his own personal use. Later, Kurtis gets the police to head to the ranch where the outcasts are carrying out their torture by telling the police that the ranch was being robbed by black people.* CrazySurvivalist: Parker, the ex-army guy.* CruelMercy: The outcasts left their victims alive... but with many wishing that they weren't.* CruelTwistEnding: Bradley and his friends narrowly avoid getting busted for drugs, only to arrive at a party where they will be horribly mutilated. It's actually a moment of horror when the cop says he will let them go, as the audience know what awaits them.** Additionally, the ultimate ending shows the "message" the kids wanted to send falling on deaf ears, [[spoiler: with a reporter describing the bullied kids as "disgruntled students" who tortured their fellow students "without cause".]]* DarkAndTroubledPast: The five have trouble both at home and at school.* DeathByIrony:** [[spoiler:Parker, the Vietnam veteran]], winds up getting hit by [[spoiler:a punji stake trap -- exactly the kind once used by the Vietcong. However, he manages to crawl away from it and kill two of the guards, and his ultimate fate is uncertain.]]** While not "death," most of the tortures inflicted by the outcasts have some relevance to their victims. See BreakTheHaughty for examples.* DeathByRacism: Again, not actually "death," but the bulk of the jocks' interaction with the Indian kid Ravi consists of extremely racist remarks.* DirtyCop: The police officer lets the jocks go in exchange for them handing over all their weed... which he is later seen smoking. A deleted scene reveals that he does the same thing for any good-looking women he pulls over, in exchange for sex.* DirtyCoward:** Bradley. Acts tough early in the movie, and goes to the party dressed as a [[UsefulNotes/AncientRome Roman centurion]], but once the "party" gets going, he whines constantly, and rather pathetically. [[spoiler: When given the chance to save himself pain by cutting off Bridget's fingers, he accepts pretty quickly... right after Bridget refused to do the same to him.]]** Parker sees himself as this, feeling that he had dishonored himself in Vietnam by running away and letting his squadmates get killed.* DisproportionateRetribution: ColdBloodedTorture and mutilation as a punishment for bullying.* DownerEnding: [[spoiler: All of the outcasts die, but not before mutilating several victims, leaving the whole town in mourning.]] And to make it worse, [[spoiler:everyone in the town more or less missed the point of the whole thing, painting the entire affair as being completely unprovoked and portraying the victims as saint-like.]]** [[ScareEmStraight But the kids who survived, maimed or otherwise,]] [[spoiler: [[HeelRealization know why it happened.]]]] People talk - especially in high school. It might not have had a [[spoiler: national effect or became the "moment in history" Dane believed it would be,]] but if the victims change their behavior and their children's behavior, that's a significant amount right there, not taking into account the UrbanLegend effect and the open secret environment of many small to medium size towns -- when everyone knows why something really happened [[spoiler: despite what outsiders and the media may report.]] A perfect example is to remember how the movie starts [[spoiler: and ends]] -- with the mother telling her curious son about the disfigured girl's "accident".*** FridgeBrilliance: [[spoiler: The parents of bullies never know that their little angels are putting other kids through hell. The teachers frequently only catch the reaction, not what the bully did first.]]* DramaticUnmask: Dane does this when Bradley calls him a coward for "hiding" behind a mask. Soon after, the rest do this and introduce themselves once Emily realizes that Bridget knows who she is.* DressingAsTheEnemy: The five dress in costumes in order to walk about the party unnoticed, until the time is right.* DrivenToSuicide[=/=]RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:Kelly. See SurvivorGuilt.]]* DysfunctionalFamily: Almost all of the outcasts come from families that are broken one way or the other.* EmotionlessGirl: Emily. [[spoiler: Until Ravi is killed, that is.]] Then she goes right back to this.* EvilSoundsDeep: Dane's mask contains a voice amplifier makes his voice sound far more baritone and creepy.* EvilVersusEvil: The five versus the bullies.* FacelessGoons: There are actually eight outcasts, but only five are of any importance to the plot, are named and actually shown planning their revenge. The other three only exist [[spoiler:[[CannonFodder to get killed by Parker]]]]. They were initially seen on the school steps, and their presence was meant to prevent the victims from leaving and to confuse police officers when the plan was over, but time constraints forced this subplot to be mostly removed bar a few lines of dialogue.* FateWorseThanDeath: The five mutilate and torture their tormentors, disfiguring them and causing them unspeakable harm.* FauxAffablyEvil: The bullies often act friendly to make their abuse more devastating, especially the girls who bully Emily. This is later used to creepy effect by Dane when he politely tells the bullies what horrors are in store for them.* {{Fingore}}: Emily offers Bridget one chance to avoid pain: cut off all of Bradley's fingers in exchange for her own safety. [[spoiler:When she refuses, Emily offers the same deal in reverse to Bradley, who accepts.]]* ForTheEvulz: Bradley bullied Dane simply because he knew that Dane could not stop him. The same applies for most of the other bullies who just enjoyed being sadists.* ForcedToWatch: All but one of the five's victims was brutally tortured in front of their friends.* {{Foreshadowing}}: A little example, but in the scene where Bernard throws milk at the outcasts' table, Bridget has quite a different expression on her face than the others, looking unimpressed at the stunt while the others are laughing.* FromNobodyToNightmare: The five were just simple high school students who never meant harm at first, but years of abuse destroyed them. Bradley even held Dane, whose life he made miserable, in such low regard that he never even learned his name. Summarized by Dane who says that he would have just been another harmless teenager had it not been for the abuse inflicted on him.* GenreDeconstruction: Of the "unpopular kids get revenge on the bullies" plot, and the "psycho classmate" plot. Instead of [[HumiliationConga the comical revenge]] that so many teen movie protagonists desire, the outcasts wish to [[PayEvilUntoEvil make their bullies suffer the way that they made the outcasts suffer]] for so many years. It's also implied that the outcasts were (and, to a degree, still are) genuinely nice people whose crappy home lives, combined with years of bullying, turned them into such dark characters, as seen with the way they treat [[NiceGuy Kurtis]]. In addition, the popular kids (especially Bridget) are shown to have shades of gray, rather than portraying them as the total {{jerkass}}es so commonly seen in teen movies.** It also shows how devastatingly traumatic surviving an elaborate torture would be as seen by the victims' fates. One is even driven to suicide over her guilt in making people do what they did.* GirlishPigtails: Worn by Emily during the torture session.* GiveMeASign: The five pray to God to give them a sign that they should stop. [[spoiler:[[CaptainObvious He doesn't.]]]]* GoryDiscretionShot: Surprisingly for a film of this nature, there is little to no blood, with most of the violence being off-screen and suggested. However, it works.* TheGrotesque: [[spoiler:Bridget and Heather]] get turned into this by Emily.* HeWhoFightsMonsters: The five become worse than their tormentors on their quest for vengeance.* HellBentForLeather: Emily's torture outfit includes [[ShoutOut a black]] [[Film/{{Audition}} leather smock]].* HighSchool: Where the first act is set.* HowWeGotHere: The film opens with one of the victims [[spoiler:(Bridget)]] in a diner, her face horribly disfigured, with her fellow patrons all staring at her like a freak.* {{Hypocrite}}: Emily points this out about Bridget after the latter rejects her deal (take off Bradley's fingers and Emily will make sure she's kept safe):-->'''Bridget:''' I couldn't hurt anyone.\\'''Emily:''' You hurt me. Without even blinking an eye.* IGaveMyWord: Dane promised that he would not kill a single one of the bullies. [[spoiler: He keeps his promise, though given how [[ExactWords he does everything short of killing them]], many probably wish he hadn't.]]* IronicEcho:** Just as the GirlPosse are getting ready for the party, Bridget remarks "Red meat is for people who don't care how they look." [[spoiler:In the opening scene, which takes place [[HowWeGotHere after her face was disfigured]], she orders a burger.]]** "Do you know ''why'' I'm gonna hurt you? [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Because you. Can't. Stop me."]]* ItsACostumePartyISwear: Well, [[NastyParty it started out as a costume party...]]* JerkJock: Bradley and his friends Bernard and Miles.* KidsAreCruel: The bullies are mean just because they are. And, of course, there's the outcasts...* LectureAsExposition: The film opens with a {{high school}} history teacher describing how [[ImperialChina the Han Dynasty]] would sometimes [[CruelMercy leave their defeated enemies alive, disfiguring them]] in order to serve as an example to those who would oppose them. Another lecture in a science class not long after shows where Emily learns about the flesh-eating chemicals that she uses on [[spoiler:Bridget and Heather]].* MalevolentMaskedMen: The outcasts.* MonsterClown: Ravi's second costume.* MoralMyopia: Bridget, who had no issue heaping psychological abuse on Emily for years, refuses to torture Bradley, a fellow bully. This enrages Emily and the rest even more.* NastyParty* NiceGuy: Kurtis tried his best to be friends to everybody, and defended Ravi from Bradley. As a result, the five try (and fail) to keep him from coming to their "party."* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Despite the film taking place in [[EverythingIsBigInTexas Texas]], Marc Donato makes little effort to hide his [[CanadaEh Canadian accent]], dropping several "aboots" over the course of the film.* PayEvilUntoEvil: The five outcasts punish psychological and emotional torture with physical torture.* PuttingOnTheReich: Andy's torture outfit is an SS uniform.* {{Revenge}}: The outcasts' plan and motives.* SayMyName: Near the end, Dane has Bradley [[StrappedToAnOperatingTable strapped to a chair]] and tells him to say his name. [[spoiler:Dane is shocked to learn that, despite Bradley bullying him for years, Bradley does not even know his name]].* ScaryScarecrows: Jack wears a scarecrow costume as his torture outfit.* SchoolBullyingIsHarmless: If there's a bigger subversion out there, good luck finding it.* SoundtrackDissonance: Jack plays upbeat banjo music while Bernard and Heather are being tortured.* ShoutOut: Emily's outfit, and the scene where she tortures the JerkJock Bernard, are big ones for ''Film/{{Audition}}''. If one listens closely, she even says "deeper, deeper" as she drives the first needle into Bernard's neck.* SuicidePact: [[spoiler:Dane claims that the five of them had never intended to live past the night]].* SurvivorGuilt: At the end, Kelly, having escaped torture and feeling that [[AlphaBitch her behavior]] was at least partly responsible for what happened, [[spoiler:is seen [[DrivenToSuicide taking a bunch of pills in order to kill herself]]]].* TitleDrop: "Think of this as.... [[Film/TheFinal the final.]] And there's only one question: [[AssholeVictim What did I do to deserve this?]]"* ToThePain: Dane loves telling his tormentors how much they will hurt.* TokenMinority: Ravi.* TortureCellar: The Workley ranch house, which was left to Dane in his uncle's will.* TrueCompanions: The five are a rather creepy version of this as, with the exception of Dane, They all seem to care about each other, even if they were brought together by revenge. Jack and Emily even share a very sincere hug before [[spoiler:committing suicide]].* ValleyGirl: Again, the GirlPosse.* TheVietnamWar: [[spoiler:While running away, Kurtis]] seeks help from Parker, a veteran of Vietnam.* VillainProtagonist: The five.* ViolenceIsTheOnlyOption: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. The outcasts tried other ways of dealing with the bullies, including trying to make friends with them, but the bullies weren't interested. This was their last resort.* WithFriendsLikeThese: The bullies to each other. Dane takes advantage of this to reveal their disloyal natures each other.--> '''Dane''': (about Tommy) "Pathetic, isn't it? So sweet, and [[SarcasmMode so much love.]] Not when you consider [[YourCheatingHeart he was cheating on you, Nadia.]] With [[EtTuBrute Heather.]] Yep. Yeah, [[LockedOutOfTheLoop everybody knew about it]], but they decided to ''[[FalseFriend laugh at you behind your back.]]'' Taking joy in your ignorance.... [[DeadpanSnarker Interesting friends.]]''* WithUsOrAgainstUs* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Although the five outcasts themselves don't really go on a rampage, they just only want to torture the bullies.* WorthyOpponent: At the end, [[spoiler:when Kurtis returns to stop Dane, Dane tells him that he wishes there were more people like him]].* YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler:Dane murders Ravi after he intentionally drops a key in order to free Kurtis, one of their friends that they hadn't intended to arrive, despite Dane telling him that Kurtis was not to leave]].* YourCheatingHeart: [[BetaBitch Heather]] is asked about her having sex with Tommy, the boyfriend of a girl named Nadia, after an illicit text is read from her phone by one of the other members of the GirlPosse. While she is called out on it later in front of Nadia, it doesn't have any real importance to the plot. It mainly [[DevelopingDoomedCharacters exists to show her as being]] [[AssholeVictim just another asshole.]]----

秉Bing has completed online and offline ID verification.
Bing was a wonderful and courteous guest, we really enjoyed having him and welcome him back any time.
All ok, perfect guest!!
Bing and Ren were very nice, extremely polite. We didn't have that much interaction to be honest, but that could because of the language, or their being out all day in BCN and coming home exhausted! ;) But when we did see them, they were always friendly and respectful, and seemed to enjoy our recommendations. We'd be happy to see them again. :)
Bing was a very pleasant guest. She was a good communicator and was very responsive. We love having them at Casa Dayang.
Bing Ren stayed with us for a week in Torquay. Bing cooked us a traditional Chinese meal twice!! We had a lovely time with Bing, and we'd recommend him to any other air bnb host. He was such a lovely guy.
Bing is a really nice man who enjoy life fully. He visited all they was to see in Sydney and was a great guest. One night he brought me oysters and peach. It was such a nice gesture. I will recommend him to anyone.
Bing was clean, tidy, friendly, and considerate of the home. I recommend him as a guest and would be happy for him to stay again.

A picture taken from the Israeli side of the Israel-Gaza Border on August 10, 2014 shows an Israeli Merkava tank rolling along the border. (AFP/David Buimovitch)
GAZA CITY, Palestine: The Palestinians are examining a proposal for a new 72-hour cease-fire in Gaza, a Hamas spokesman told AFP Sunday.
"There is a proposal for another 72-hour truce [to allow] for the continuation of negotiations," Sami Abu Zuhri told AFP in Gaza, without saying when it would begin.
"This proposal is being studied," he said, indicating the Palestinian response would depend on "the seriousness of the Israeli position."
His remarks came after Egyptian and Palestinian negotiators wrapped up a fresh round of talks in Cairo, saying they would issue a statement within the coming hours.
The Israeli delegation was currently locked in talks over "all the developments," an official told AFP, without ruling out the possibility the team could return to Cairo.
"The delegation is sitting together to discuss all the developments," he said.
"If they do, it will be this evening or tomorrow."
So far, Egyptian efforts to broker an end to more than a month of fighting have led nowhere, with Israel pulling its team out of talks in Cairo Friday after Hamas refused to extend a 72-hour cease-fire that had brought relief to millions on both sides of the border.

Suppose that a complete undirected graph G = (V, E) with at least 3 vertices has a cost function c that satisfies the triangle inequality. Prove that c(u, v) ≥ 0 for all u, v∈V.
Suppose that a complete undirected graph G = (V, E) with at least 3 vertices has a cost function c that satisfies the triangle inequality. Prove that c(u, v) ≥ 0 for all u, v∈V.
Triangle Inequality
According to triangle inequality the sum of the length of two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side. If this condition is true for any triangle then the triangle follows the inequality.
It states that:
Travelling salesman problem: The travelling salesman problem follows the triangular inequality. It is the problem in which a salesman in a city travels to the other cities for selling his products without repeating any city twice except the city from where he has started his tour. There is fixed cost incurred for travelling from one city to the other city.
It can be represented using a graph G (V, E) in which V is the number of nodes which represents the number of cities the salesman visits. The number of edges E of the graph are representing the r out that is followed by the salesman. The cost for any route from u to v is which is shown on the edges of the graph. The graph showing the travelling salesman problem is as:
In the above graph it is shown that the salesman starts his tour from city a he goes to the city b from there he goes forward to c, d, e and f after thathe came back to city a. The cost of each route is shown on the respective edges.
Metric Travelling salesman problem: This is the TSP which follows triangular inequality, and minimum cost is incurred while visiting each vertex single time. According to metric travelling salesman problem the cost elapsed for travelling from one city to other is less than that cost if he follows any indirect route.
For example: The cost of going from u to v will be lesser than the cost incurred when he goes from u to w and then from w to v. This shows the inequality because the sum of cost incurred in the indirect path is greater than the cost in the direst path. That is the sum of two sides of triangle is greater than one side.
The algorithm to solve the metric TSP is as:
// A MST is a spanning tree which has minimum weight of all the spanning trees.
1. Find minimum spanning tree from G.
// increase every edge of MST to get a eulerian graph.
2. Increase each of the minimum spanning trees to get an Eulerian graph
// Eulerian circuit is a path which each vertex only once and start and it is trailing on
// same vertex.
3. Find out Eulerian circuit E from.
4. Output the vertices of as found out in.
In the above algorithm first step is to find the minimum spanning tree (MST) for the graph. The minimum spanning tree is the graph without any cycle such that it can cover all the vertices of the graph and its weight or cost is lesser than all other spanning trees for the same graph.
After that is finds the Euler graph for the MST, for finding the Euler graph it extends the edges of MST. Euler graph is the one that contains the Euler cycle and Euler cycle is path which contains each edge of the graph exactly once. Now, the Euler circuit for the graph is calculated which is the path in which each vertex is added only once accept the starting vertex which is also the ending vertex.
TSP WITH THREE VERTICES: Consider the graph with three vertices u, v, and w. it is the graph with three edges and is a complete undirected graph as shown below:
The cost of the edges of the graph is as:
Cost function c in going from u to v=
Cost function c in going from u to w=
Cost function c in going from v to w=
Hence, the cost incurred in this MST travelling salesman problem will be:
The reason is this; in any triangle the basis property is that any two side length sum is greater than the third one side. So, here triangle side length is same as cost from one point to other and points are same as vertices as in the triangle.
Now, if there is any transformation of triangle in any traveling sales man problem structure the triangular inequality can be applied to check which route has less cost charges. If triangle inequality fails it means those point cannot make any triangle structure.
Thus, it is proved that for all.
TSP WITH FOUR VERTICES: Now, consider the graph for TSP in which there are four vertices. In this graph, there is a path with four vertices u, v, w and x. To traverse the path from vertex u to vertex x there are two routes that is it can be traced either from u to v then x or u to w then u and finally x.
As according to the condition the triangle u, v, w follows triangular inequality
Cost function c in going from u to v=
Cost function c in going from w to u =
Cost function c in going from v to w =
Cost function c in going from to x =
Therefore, which also fulfills the condition that for all.
TSP WITH n VERTICES: For n vertex TSP consider the graph given below
From the above graph first consider the path v, u, and w. Starting from v to reach u, the path that can be tracedis either from v to u or v to w and then u. From, triangular inequality:
Hence, the path from v to u will be chosen, and thus again the cost for all.Similarly, it can be proved for rest of all the paths in the above figure.
Thus, it is proved that in a complete undirected pathwith at least three vertices will always have a cost function c followed with triangle inequality, which will be for all.

The new Wave Y comes with 832 MHz processor, Bada 2.0 OS, 2 MP camera, Bluetooth, WiFi and FM radio.
Leading mobile phone provider, Samsung today announced the launch of its latest smartphone based on bada 2.0 operating system. The new Samsung Wave Y (S5380) is targeted at youth allowing them to easily remain connected, be socially active as well as personalise the device as per their requirements.
"Consumers today, especially the younger generation is very expressive, socially active, wants to stay connected and do more while on the move. This device not only meets these needs of Gen Y but allows them to personalise the phone to match their personality and provides them with a richer, more intuitive smartphone experience. We are very confident that this device will catch the imagination of our young consumers," said Ranjit Yadav, country head, mobile and IT, Samsung India.
Wave Y is based on the new bada 2.0 platform and has a decent 832 MHz processor which is expected to give a smoother function. The ergonomic rounded design offers a comfortable grip with the metallic hairline pattern adding sophistication. The large and wide 3.2 inch HGVA screen offers a crystal clear view. The sleek device with a clean cut design measures12.3 mm slim.
Wave Y comes with the Samsung messenger, called as Chat On which allows chatting over multiple platforms including Android, iPhone OS, Bada, BlackBerry OS etc. It also supports group chats and multimedia transfers. Further, instead of connecting via user IDs, users can find friends and connect using phone numbers. With the Social Hub 2.0, users get access to integrated contacts and calendar, integrated messages, emails and news feeds and as well as status updates for popular SNS applications.
Wave Y smartphone has also the popular Samsung TouchWiz user interface. Its Live Panel offers an interactive home screen that can be customised to display preferred information such as weather, stocks, news updates etc. The Innovative Lock Screen offers direct links to missed events. The Folder Management function allows users to create and manage folders easily with the multi-touch interface. The 3D folder viewing offers an intuitive way to keep all files organized properly.

Samsung has also announced that consumers buying an Airtel SIM card along with Wave Y will get 500 MB data free for one month and 100 MB free data usage per month for 12 months on 3G. With the launch of Wave Y, Samsung has 14 smart phones across the Android, Bada and Windows platforms, priced in the range between Rs 6,600 to Rs 34,990.
The Samsung Galaxy S6 may help the company gain the market share that it lost after the older Galaxy S5's launch.
Samsung Galaxy S6 is being praised by all and sundry for its beautiful design and so is the HTC One M9.
The older Asus Zenfone 6 is still quite attractive than the new Samsung Galaxy Grand Max.
Both the Samsung Galaxy A7 and Galaxy Grand Max have 4G connectivity.
The Samsung Galaxy J1 is available from Amazon.in in black and white colours.
Considering the price tag, the Samsung Tizen Z1 is pitted against the Redmi 1S, Asus Zenfone 4, and other low cost Android smartphones.
The two devices are truly siblings — there are few things to differentiate the two from each other.
Though Samsung has not made any official announcement about its launch, Prime's availability was expected anytime.
The Galaxy Note Edge has already been launched in few markets while Grand 3 has been spotted on benchmark results.
At Rs 20,900, the Samsung Galaxy Mega 2 is up against HTC Desire 816G, LG G3 Beat, Lenovo Vibe X, LG G3 Stylus, and Sony Xperia C3.

From the internationally acclaimed Israeli writer Meir Shalev comes a mesmerizing novel of two love stories, separated by half a century but connected by one enchanting act of devotion.
During the 1948 War of Independence--a time when pigeons are still used to deliver battlefield messages--a gifted young pigeon handler is mortally wounded. In the moments before his death, he dispatches one last pigeon. The bird is carrying his extraordinary gift to the girl he has loved since adolescence. Intertwined with this story is the contemporary tale of Yair Mendelsohn, who has his own legacy from the 1948 war. Yair is a tour guide specializing in bird-watching trips who, in middle age, falls in love again with a childhood girlfriend. His growing passion for her, along with a gift from his mother on her deathbed, becomes the key to a life he thought no longer possible.
Unforgettable in both its particulars and its sweep, A Pigeon and A Boy is a tale of lovers then and now--of how deeply we love, of what home is, and why we, like pigeons trained to fly in one direction only, must eventually return to it. In a voice that is at once playful, wise, and altogether beguiling, Meir Shalev tells a story as universal as war and as intimate as a winged declaration of love.
