Last night's (April 8, 2015) "Kelly File" had Megyn Kelly purposely badgering Rand Paul, making every attempt to goad him into an argument just to prove how irascible he can be when challenged, especially by a woman. It was an unbecoming few minutes, not worthy of the time spent. Like eggplant, the segment had no nutritional value whatsoever. Paul didn't get to express himself and Kelly showed herself to be a colossal bitch.
While not a big fan of Rand Paul, PJFOTN believes all the Republican candidates should be able to offer their perspectives while answering tough questions. The trend in talking over each other has precluded that possibility however. At times, watching FOX's prime time personalities, while certainly better than being spoon-fed ultra-liberal pap by the other news channels, is like watching couples in divorce proceedings, it's actually painful.
Bill O'Reilly is perhaps the worst offender, but Megyn Kelly is like his protégé except she uses her obvious charms for the jab while saving her right for the hook. It's not only annoying, it is, as the British say, off-putting and tiring.
If television news has become more of an entertainment concoction, one would hope for repartee instead of the clash of titans. At least a witty exchange would be more civilized and far easier to understand. Last night's car crash wasn't informative, entertaining or even understandable. It was a nice looking blonde girl arguing with a headstrong man who would have been justified in being less than genteel by telling her off.
The FOX News Channel is very much like the Republican establishment in that its success is not so much due to the great programming as much as it is the only game in town. In the beginning, FOX was a breath of fresh air. Now, it is a stage for actors and actresses pretending to be newscasters. Like preening birds, they show-prep in the makeup room, substance is a secondary issue.
It is the mistake of the ages, people in the public eye thinking they are more important than their work. It is why Rush Limbaugh is so successful. He knows, and he is not above admitting it openly, his success is entirely due to his audience. The Rush Limbaugh Show is all about the audience even though Limbaugh slyly, but always self-deprecatingly boasts about himself on the air, e.g. "Talent on loan from God", "half my brain tied behind my back" etc. Not only is he unscripted, he is as generous with his curiosity as anyone in the media. That is to say, he makes an effort to understand his callers. He wants to know what they think. There's nothing fake about the back and forth in spite of the constrictions of time. If he cuts a caller off, it's because he must take a break for an "obscene profit center". That's business of course.
And FOX is good business. Today's Hollywood Reporter cites Roger Ailes, CEO and President of FOX News as the most powerful person in New York (meaning the world) media. FOX "will earn $2.18 billion this year" as a result of his vision and leadership. Which begs the question, what exactly is his vision and leadership style? Does Ailes approve of the talk over everybody style of so-called journalism among his ranks or is it a matter of if it's not broken, don't fix it?
The alternatives to FOX are not even close. The Hollywood Reporter states that CNN and MSNBC will earn $1.16 billion and a paltry $509 million respectively this year. FOX makes more than both combined, the difference being more than MSNBC makes totally. The reason for the discrepancy has been made clear not just in this column on myriad occasions, but by virtually every other outlet with the least bit of interest in the matter. When there is a choice, liberal media is crushed.
It has also been stated on this site that if either MSNBC or CNN changed their format to compete with FOX as a strictly conservative outlet without the charade of being "fair and balanced", the latter's audience would bolt for the former.
Assuming an audience is loyal when you're the only outlet of a particular genre is foolish. Assuming viewers will remain loyal when a reasonable alternative sans the talking over each other is presented makes even less sense.
Debating is an art. All art should be enjoyable. Debate infused with good sense, solid facts and wit in an atmosphere of give and take is far more enjoyable than the grinding gotcha, infuriating interruptions and overbearing oafishness that seems to be the late fare on FOX. Is it that way all the time? No.
"The Five" comes as close to being good news television discussion as anything out there, primarily because the women are smart and charming while at the same time commanding. Kimberly Guilfoyle is schooled in the law and makes no bones about her conservative viewpoints while Dana Perino knows politics from the inside at the highest levels and is not afraid to look at various sides of sundry issues. Greg Gutfeld is nothing short of witty to sometimes an annoying, but smartly entertaining degree while Eric Bolling lends a genteel, albeit somewhat libertarian maleness to the whole. The various liberals who occupy the sole chair are less than noteworthy with the exception of the ailing Bob Beckel who is more often wrong than right, but at least makes us laugh. Juan Williams whines his way through routines of inanity, but comes off as a friendly, if hopeless liberal.
If Miss Megyn's journalistic tryst with Rand Paul turned into an evening of broken promises is emblematic of FNC's evolution, it's a problem. She looked and sounded like a shrew while Rand Paul looked and sounded like a man who would much rather be somewhere else than home with a woman at her time of the month.

Aside from Kelsey Grammar, the cast of Bill O'Reilly's "Killing Jesus" which aired last night (March 29, 2015), turned in terrible performances not because they're bad actors, but because they worked off a terrible script. Moreover, whoever had charge of makeup should be drawn and quartered as well. The hair and beards those overly Semitic people sported looked like they were purchased at a Halloween party store.
O'Reilly's intensely zealous attempt to portray the life and death of Jesus in the context of a historical overview falls off the rails for its injection of conclusions based on interpretations of the historical record, some of which are so fantastic they are caricatures of it.
The fiasco that is "Killing Jesus" the movie should have been expected. it was written by Walon Green, a 78 year old documentary film director. Green did what he does, present a documentary, another one in a long line of them which try to tell a story that cannot be told as a documentary. The Son of God was no more a political threat to the Roman Empire than his mother.
Selling a million copies of a book doesn't necessarily validate its conclusions. This is especially true when writing about Jesus Christ's life. To jam the idea that Jesus was a political person intent on making a political statement is to totally ignore the Gospels which are, for all intents and purposes, the only historical records we have of Christ's life, death and resurrection. The whole purpose of Christ in the first place was to foment a spiritual revolution, not a political one. There is no evidence whatsoever aside from his commenting on Roman taxes that Jesus had an interest in generating conflict with the Roman Empire. On the contrary, God picked precisely the right moment in history to send His son to earth. The Roman Empire made it such that Christ could preach in an atmosphere of relative order. To intentionally disturb that order would have interfered in his mission. To suggest otherwise even if your angle is a historical one only, flies in the face of the reality that Jesus was the Son of God and he knew it.
It isn't history to avoid the known sources only to present what you think should have happened and why. In the scene where Jesus meets John the Baptist at the Jordan, somehow O'Reilly and Green concluded that Jesus had no idea who he himself was, that John had to actually convince him he was the Messiah. How O'Reilly and Green came up with that scene and make the claim it is historically accurate defies credibility. Indeed, John recognized Jesus immediately and declined to baptize Christ, but Christ overrode him and insisted they fulfill all righteousness which included Jesus submitting to being baptized as a signal he was not only the Son of God, but a human being as well. It isn't clear what Gospel O'Reilly and Green used as their source, perhaps one of the unknown ones, like the Gospel of Randy or something.
Of course Jesus knew he was the Son of God from when he was a boy. We know this from the Gospel of Luke, Chapter 2, verses 41 to 50 where the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem after a Jewish festival. After three days missing, Mary and Joseph found him in the Temple engaged in a question and answer session with "the doctors", i.e. the most learned Jewish men.
"And seeing him, they wondered. And his mother said to him: 'Son, why hast thou done so to us? Behold thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.' And he said to them: 'How is it that you sought me? Did you not know, that I must be about my father's business?'" (Luke 2, 47:48) How did O'Reilly miss this?
Others have tried, none have succeeded in presenting the "historical Jesus". It cannot be done as a dry documentary chronicling the life of a man in the first century whose impact has withstood the test of time for over 2,000 years. Surely there must be more to that man's story than the conclusion he was a political agitator who threatened the Roman Empire, another conclusion entirely without merit.
By Pilate's own admission he never heard of Jesus before Caiaphas and his minions brought charges against him. How O'Reilly arrived at Pilate's being concerned about an itinerant Jewish preacher prior to Jesus' appearance before him is anyone's guess, but it isn't through history. More to the point, Pilate's response to Caiaphas' complaint is basic Roman, there was a rule of law in place, Roman law. A man must be judged before he can be convicted, but once convicted, Roman punishment was extremely severe to show others who might consider similar infractions that it would not be worth the transgression.
Pilate's hesitation to convict Jesus is also firmly within the historical record. We know that Pilate was in disfavor at Tiberius' court because of his brutal approach to things which tended to end badly for everyone. In a particularly volatile area like Israel at the time, that approach was to be avoided unless absolutely necessary. Slaughtering Jews en masse was what created instability, not Jesus' preaching. Pilate was in a tight spot regarding Jesus however. He was being subtly threatened by the Jewish leaders, if he didn't have Jesus crucified, he knew they would incite a riot themselves. So he did the expedient thing while publicly washing his hands of responsibility.
As far as the Romans were concerned, Jesus wasn't even on their radar until the Jewish leaders brought him to their attention. Clearly then, the contemporary effort to portray Jesus as a political lightning rod is specious.
O'Reilly and others who have attempted "documentaries" on the historical Jesus like to justify their "history" of Jesus by removing the religious aspect from his life. That's like removing Mona Lisa's smile. He tries desperately to support Jesus' enormous popularity by saying it was the man's message that attracted the thousands of people who came to him. It's truly a ridiculous approach. There were plenty of men before and after Jesus who had "messages" and followers, none as successful as Jesus. The reason is so obvious that to exclude it from the historical Jesus is tantamount to intellectual dishonesty and academic malfeasance.
It was Jesus' ability to create miracles that separated him from the all others claiming connection to God. They are what made him so popular. The miracles brought thousands upon thousands of people to him, the vehicles by which he could preach to the largest numbers in an age of little or no communication other than word of mouth. It made sense on both the human and spiritual levels. Failure to acknowledge the absolute importance of Jesus' miracles in generating such enormous crowds is a willful attempt to mislead and yet O'Reilly scrupulously avoids them as if to say, they were ancillary to Jesus' story, of no real importance.
As if to underscore his disdain for the importance of Christ's miracles, the one he does include in the movie is entirely inaccurate. He has the mother of a boy seeking out Jesus to help her demon possessed son. In the first place, Mark writes in Chapter 9, 15:28 that it was the boy's father who asked for Jesus' help. The importance of the story however did not center around Jesus' exorcising the demon to show his miraculous abilities and power over them, it was to show how faith in Jesus and his message can overcome all adversity. Mark writes that the father asked Jesus to help "if you can". Jesus essentially rebuked him by saying, "If I can?" Then he proceeded to call out the demon and order it never to enter the boy again.
O'Reilly's Jesus never says a word to the demon, presumably because a demon isn't historically real in O'Reilly's estimation. We are left with O'Reilly's Jesus simply holding the boy as if to say all we need is love. John Lennon said that. He was wrong too. Jesus showed power as well as love, the power of faith. St. Paul clarified the foundational character of Christ's message of faith when he wrote to the Romans, first you have to have faith, then the love of Christ will pour out on you.
Finally, and O'Reilly isn't the only one to make the mistake although in his case like others it seems to be intentional for purposes of political correctness, the Romans were not responsible for killing Jesus, the Jewish leadership was. In fact, there is evidence to suggest the troops used to crucify Jesus were not Roman regulars, they were most likely auxiliaries pulled from the indigenous population. The closest Roman legion was the XII Fulminata stationed in Raphanae, Syria some hundred plus miles away. It is true Pilate had a contingent with him of about 4,000 at all times, but it is questionable, knowing how volatile the situation would be during Jewish feast days in Jerusalem, that he would march all 4,000 into the city.
In the end, "Killing Jesus" was neither enlightening nor entertaining. In truth, it was just another reworking of Christ's story from a secular angle which while purporting to be historically accurate leaves out the most essential history so as to make it look like Bill O'Reilly, someone in the middle not taking one side or the other, is being impartial enough to please the harshest skeptics.
Bill O'Reilly is a good man, there should be no doubt about that, but he is also a classic huckster with a giant ego and happy to be that.
One final note to O'Reilly:
The difference between your other "Killing" books and "Killing Jesus" is that you rightfully humanized Lincoln, Kennedy and Patton because they were men, but you failed with Jesus in an attempt to humanize God.

Glenn Beck's Ideal Government
Near the end of his radio broadcast today, Glenn Beck began to promote the prospect of Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert launching a primary challenge against Republican Senator John Cornyn, resulting in a delegation to the US Senate that would consist of "a couple of ass-kickers" in Gohmert and Ted Cruz.
The idea so enthralled Beck that he began laying out his fantasy government of the future, consisting of Cruz as President, Rand Paul as Vice President, Ron Paul as Treasury Secretary, and Gohmert as Secretary of State.
When co-host Pat Gray pointed out that if Cruz and Gohmert were both serving in the administration, Texas would need two new senators, Beck suggested that he and Gray could fill those positions, which prompted co-host Stu Burguiere to declare that there is no way he'd ever vote for Beck.
"You're a loose cannon," Burguiere said. "I don't trust this guy at all":

Falklands' Isobel Deep drilling operations have recommenced
Energy company Rockhopper Exploration and Falkland Oil and Gas Ltd., have announced that drilling operations at Isobel Deep well have recommenced. Isobel Deep is located in the North Falklands basin and is part of the current round of drilling in Falklands' waters.
Falklands implements 'local content register' for companies to become suppliers of oil sector
Falkland Islands are implementing the 'local content register' the process by which companies can be recognized as local and thus become suppliers for the oil and gas sector, which is expected to continue advancing following the current round of drilling and successful discovery announcements. A first company already registered last 7 April.
Falklands/Malvinas claim: "Argentina following on Ghandi's teachings"
Argentina is following on Mahatma Gandhi's teachings or ahimsa (truth, love and fraternity) that brought independence to India, to claim the Falklands/Malvinas and other South Atlantic islands, said Daniel Filmus, head of the Malvinas Issues Desk in the Argentine foreign ministry during his latest incursion this time in Ethiopia.

The defining moment from an unclassifiable band remains brilliantly off-kilter as metal, crushingly moody as alternative and strangely reassuring as classic rock. This 20th-anniversary reissue of the grunge era's most ambitious statement adds a second disc of mostly unnecessary music (the five-disc superdeluxe version adds more). Demos and rehearsals let you hear Chris Cornell's powerful voice go occasionally out of tune; B sides drag ("Black Days III") or are goofs ("Exit Stonehenge") – and the best ones from this period, like the cubist hair metal of "Cold Bitch," or a sludgy take on Devo's "Girl U Want," aren't included. Even without any very particularly illuminating extras, though, Superunknown is a Nineties benchmark.

The body of a snowmobiler missing in Pine County since Feb. 16 was found over the weekend in the St. Croix River and has been identified as that of a Brooklyn Park man. James H. Frentress, 43, was last seen with two other snowmobilers just after 6:30 p.m. on the St. Croix, when he hit a large patch of open water and was thrown from his machine and disappeared under the ice. About 4:30 p.m. Saturday, two officers with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources reported finding a body in the St. Croix on the Minnesota side of the border near where it meets the Snake River. Investigators confirmed his identity.

New answers tagged rounding
One way to achieve such a rounding only if necessary is to use the string formatting function: myNumber.toLocaleString('en', {maximumFractionDigits:2, useGrouping:false}) This will provide exactly the output you expect, but as strings. You can still convert those back to numbers if that's not the output type you expect.
Here is a simple way to do it: float numberToRound = 1.12345f; float remainder = numberToRound*1000.0f - (float)((int)(numberToRound*1000.0f)); if (remainder >= 0.5f) { numberToRound = (float)((int)(numberToRound*1000.0f) + 1)/1000.0f; } else { numberToRound = (float)((int)(numberToRound*1000.0f))/1000.0f; } For an arbitrary decimal place, ...
What you're talking about here is a display issue. The "0" in the 1.0 shows how accurate the number is, if you are only displaying 1 then the person reading does not know how accurate that value is (compared with 1.1, 1.9 or even 1.0003). My suggestion would be to convert your answer to a string and check if the last value is "0", and if so remove it for ...
You can create a helper function like this static public void Normalize(String pattern, double value ) { DecimalFormat formatter = new DecimalFormat(pattern); String normalizedValue = formatter.format(value); System.out.println(normalizedValue); } Normalize("0.#####",2.40); // 2.4 Normalize("0.#####",2.0); // 2 This worked for me.
The number column in the Testing database table apparently has an integer data type. You can check the data type by querying EXPLAIN Testing. If it has an integer data type, the number value is coerced to an integer before it stored in the table. If you wish to store a decimal then you'll need to alter the table first: ALTER TABLE `Testing` CHANGE ...
A generic solution - Use MOD to find the last 100th place and then add 100 to the result. select (720 - MOD(720,100)) + 100 from dual; If you need the next 80th place, just replace any "100" with "80".
Threw together a quick custom filter and dropped the ngCurrency library. <input type="number" maxlength="12" ng-currency ng-model="myValue" /> {{myValue | myCurrency:myValue | currency:'$':0}} currencyModule.filter('myCurrency', function () { return function (myValue) { if (myValue > 999999){ myValue = 999999; } ...
From your plunker I see you are mixing versions: From https://github.com/aguirrel/ng-currency#versions Versions If you use angular 1.2.x please, use 0.7.x version. If you use angular 1.3.x or above just use 0.8.x version instead. Please, use https://rawgit.com/aguirrel/ng-currency/v0.8.x/src/ng-currency.js instead of uploaded ng-currency.js in ...
you can cast to number with 2 decimal after round up in query, or when you display at report or system DECLARE @i int = 2 BEGIN SELECT cast( ROUND(val,@i) as decimal(10,2) ) FROM mytable END
You can just use the ROUND function for sql-server DECLARE @i int = 2 BEGIN SELECT ROUND(val,@i) FROM mytable END SQLFIDDLE
There's no overload for double? in Math.Round so you need to pass a double as parameter. Also you need to consider the case when your double? is null. Finally, you need to cast the result of Math.Round to double?. double? budget = item.Budget; double? myPrice = budget / count; double? roundMyPrice = myPrice.HasValue ? (double?) Math.Round(myPrice.Value, ...
double? (or Nullable<double>) can be null, remember it. Variant 1 double? myPrice = budget / count; double roundMyPrice; if (myPrice.HasValue) { roundMyPrice = Math.Round(myPrice.Value, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero); } else { // value is not presented } Variant 2 MSDN: GetValueOrDefault If null is 0 by your logic, you can use this code: ...
function formatNumber(x) { // convert it to a string var s = "" + x; // if x is integer, the point is missing, so add it if (s.indexOf(".") == -1) { s += "."; } // make sure if we have at least 2 decimals s += "00"; // get the first 2 decimals return s.substring(0, s.indexOf(".") + 3); } document.write(1 + " -> " + ...
27/10 will give result as 2 without any func. select 27/10::numeric ,27/10::real , 27/10 as the_result_you_need
trunc function will truncate number to given number of decimals: select trunc(2.7, 0); trunc ------- 2 (1 row)
So I figured it out after scratching my head for awhile. I had to move my REPLACE function inside the CASE WHEN to get the CONVERT to work. Select CONVERT(decimal(18,2),ROUND(CASE WHEN ISNUMERIC(VALUE) = 1 THEN ISNULL(CONVERT(numeric,replace(value, ',','')),0)*PCT_CMPT/100 ELSE 0 END,2)) as Earned
You are correct, round is the wrong tool for this job. Instead, you should use floor and ceiling. Unfortunately, they do not have a precision parameter like round, so you'd have to simulate it using division and multiplication: SELECT FLOOR(value * 100) / 100 AS rounded_down, CEILING(value * 100) / 100 AS rounded_up FROM mytable
Please look more carefully at your output, for example: 05-17 12:00:43.625 24610-24610/package I/System.out﹕ Speed: 7.026718463748694E-4 doesn't mean you have 7.02, but 0.000702. There is E-4 at the end. When you would use ceil it will always return 1.
In all the outputs you printed (except the first one which is 0) Speed is smaller than 1 (7.026718463748694E-4, 5.27003884781152E-4, etc...). Notice the negative exponent. Therefore it's no wonder ceil returns 1.

toFixed(2) here 2 is number of digits upto which we want to round this num.

Try these com.androidhub4you.crop.RoundedImageView imageViewRound =(com.androidhub4you.crop.RoundedImageView) parentView.findViewById(R.id.imageView_round);
Try the following code: function toFixed(value, precision) { var precision = precision || 0, power = Math.pow(10, precision), absValue = Math.abs(Math.round(value * power)), result = (value < 0 ? '-' : '') + String(Math.floor(absValue / power)); if (precision > 0) { var fraction = String(absValue % power), padding = new ...
Two things: You're playing with fire by using implicit type conversion. element.value returns a string, not a number, so you should be using parseInt() or parseFloat() to convert your values to numbers. For instance, if your input has value 3, and you do element.value + 2, the result is 32. Second, to your question, Math.ceil() rounds a float up to the ...
Use round() method to rounds a number to the nearest integer. Example: var a = Math.round(8.70); Answer a = 9;
mround takes time values as strings, so you can use =mround(a1,"0:15") which I think is the shortest and clearest method.
If you overwrite the standard format with #.00 you have no grouping seperator in your format. For your expected case you have to include the grouping seperator again into your custom format: DecimalFormat theFormatter = new DecimalFormat("#,###.00", theSymbols); The pattern definition symbols can be found in the Doc
The _invoicingCurrencyProfitAmount = Decimal.Parse(profitAmount.ToString("0.####")) line is returning a decimal. Decimal does keep all zeroes, the problem is 100% in where are you printing the value. If you are trying to write this in Console Console.Writeline("{0:F4}", _invoicingCurrencyProfitAmount); where {0:F4} means "Format as fixed-point", with ...
var d = 425.1382.ToString("0.##") + "00"; // "425.1400"
var _profitAmount = Math.Round((saleMarginValue * exchangeRate), 4); _invoicingCurrencyProfitAmount = Decimal.Parse(profitAmount.ToString().PadRight(2,'0'));
When you convert to a numeric type you give up all unnecessary digits. You need to convert the Decimal to a String before displaying.
COBOL does no rounding, unless you tell it to. What it does do, if you don't tell it to do rounding, is low-order truncation. Some people may prefer to term that something else, it doesn't really matter, the effect is the same. Truncation. Negative values are dealt with in the same way as positive values (retain a significant digit beyond what is required ...
One picture is worth a thousand words.
As seen in the python documentation of the function round() it states "rounded to ndigits digits after the decimal point". So it means the result will be rounded to two digits after the decimal point.
From the docs: if two multiples are equally close, rounding is done toward the even choice So when you say rounding up, it's not necessarily rounding up. It's just rounding.
As for ROUND_05UP it seems to have been added just to conform to some old standard and have no or little practical application (in particular, it is the only python rounding method that is missing from the Wikipedia article on rounding).
This type of rounding you are talking about is called Swedish rounding: 1 cent rounds down to 0 2 cents round down to 0 3 cents round up to 5 cents 4 cents round up to 5 cents and so on. from decimal import Decimal as D, ROUND_HALF_EVEN # or ROUND_HALF_UP def round_to_5_cents(d): """ Round a Decimal value to the nearest multiple of 0.05, ...
Why not use something like this: Math.round(yourNumber * 100) / 100; This will round it to two decimal places, the same question was more or less answered here - Round to at most 2 decimal places in JavaScript Here is a small example function round(num){ var result = Math.round(num * 100) / 100; return console.log(result); } round(0.4284); ...
By using modulus: int x = 1500; int result = x % 1000 >= 500 ? x + 1000 - x % 1000 : x - x % 1000; It checks if x has any more than 499 when the thousands are stripped, and then rounds it.
It's worth noting that Excel has built-in functions for working with multiples: CEILING and FLOOR (in newer versions you have CEILING.MATH and FLOOR.MATH). In your case, this should work: =CEILING(A1,20)-A1
You want to divide it by 20, round it up and multiply it by 20, the rest is trivial. =-(A1-ROUNDUP(A1/20,0)*20)
it does not work on a data.frame because R cannot round different rows with different digits. You therefore have to select a number in the variable that you want to apply your function on, e.g. the maximum, like so: myfun = function(val) { cutvec = 10^(-7:2) cutvec = cutvec[!cutvec == 1] rounding = 8:0 find.round = rounding[max(which(val > ...
You probably want signif which rounds off to a given number of significant digits. x <- runif(16) * 10^(7*runif(16)-5) cbind(x, mx = my.func(x), sx = signif(x, 3)) x mx sx [1,] 1.395044e-01 1.40e-01 1.40e-01 [2,] 9.751368e-06 9.80e-06 9.75e-06 [3,] 3.451619e-04 3.50e-04 3.45e-04 [4,] 2.203204e-03 2.20e-03 2.20e-03 ...
If you're willing to process these values as strings, you can use a few parameter expansions: $ cat x 0.0008234535225 0.00547889294 0.000003243322 0.00012034 $ for line in $(<x); do > exp="${line%%[^0.]*}" mant="${line#$exp}" > echo "${exp}${mant:0:1}" > done 0.0008 0.005 0.000003 0.0001
The following will truncate your numbers to the first non 0 digit: grep -o "0.0*." <<< "$NUMBER" For example: grep -o "0.0*." <<< "0.000003243322" Prints: 0.000003
You can show one decimal point without having to use another operator like round or math.ceil. (In python 2.7 this would be) '%.1f' % (5.34) Here are some quirks of using the round function that you should be aware of : round() in Python doesn't seem to be rounding properly
Floating-point numbers don't have decimal places. They have binary places, and the two are not commensurable. Any attempt to modify a floating-point variable to have a specific number of decimal places is doomed to failure. You have to do the rounding to a specified number of decimal places after conversion to a decimal radix.
There are a different ways to round numbers. The RoundingMode documentation for Java (introduced in 1.5) should give you a brief introduction to the different methods people use. I know you said you don't have access to the Math functions, but the simplest rounding you can do is: public static double round(double d) { return Math.floor(d + 0.5); } If ...
import math def main(): for ct in range (0, 21): fe = 9 / 5 * (ct) + 32 print(ct, "Celsius equals", (math.ceil(fe*100)/100) , "Fahrenheit") This might work.
print("%d Celsius equals %.1f Fahrenheit" % (ct, fe)) # => 13 Celsius equals 55.4 Fahrenheit
It looks like you might be using Python. To format your code, put four blank spaces before each line so that it is more readable, like this: def main(): for ct in range (0, 21): fe = 9 / 5 * (ct) + 32 print (ct, "Celsius equals", fe, "Fahrenheit") If you want to round your answer, use Python's round() function. This would make your ...

Libyan team captain: 'We are brothers. If we win now, it will be for all of Libya'
Tomorrow's African Nations Cup opener features a nation for whom just being there is a triumph. Jonathan Wilson hears why
Friday 20 January 2012
On the face of it, 151st in the Fifa rankings against 63rd doesn't sound like the most intriguing fixture with which to kick off the 28th African Nations Cup, but football is about more than just statistics. When Libya walk out to face the hosts Equatorial Guinea in the Estadio de Bata tomorrow evening, whatever they end up doing, it will represent another stage in an extraordinary journey.
In March last year, Libya played the third of their six qualifiers for the Nations Cup. The civil war had begun a few weeks earlier, forcing the game to be moved to Mali and, even though they beat the Comoros 3-0 to go top of the group, nobody really expected them to secure a third qualification for the tournament.
Inevitably, questions were asked about the war. "The whole team is for Muammar Gaddafi," said the team's captain and star, Tariq Al Taib. "We dedicate this victory to the Libyan people who are suffering." He went on to describe the rebels as "rats" and "dogs".
Al Taib isn't in the team any more. The months after that Comoros game saw remarkable changes, both in the national side and in Libya itself.
Walid Al Kahatroushi scored the opening goal in the game in Mali, but as Libya went to Comoros at the beginning of June, news reached him that a friend of his, a rebel, had lost his arm in the fighting. He decided he could bear no longer to pull on the Libya shirt, with its Gaddafi-era flag, so walked out on the squad, going back to Libya to join the rebels at Jebel Nafusa near the Tunisian border.
At first, his fellow rebels tried to protect him, keeping him off the front-line, but as the situation became increasingly desperate that became impossible. "I just took the gun and I went out fighting," he said. "It was so hard, you can imagine, you could lose your life at any time. It was so hard."
Al Kahatroushi wasn't the only player involved in active combat. The goalkeeper Guma Mousa survived unscathed, but Ahmed Al Saghir was hospitalised for a month after taking a bullet in the shoulder.
A week after Gadaffi had been toppled, Libya faced their penultimate qualifier against Mozambique, a game played behind closed doors in Egypt. The old green shirts were replaced with white ones, bearing the rebel flag. A 1-0 win prompted wild celebrations, but it meant Libya went to Zambia needing a win to secure qualification, while a draw might see them through as one of the best two runners -up, if other results went their way.
The game in Chingola prompted other difficulties. The new anthem was yet to be officially ratified, but nobody wanted the old anthem played. A compromise was reached: the Zambians playing the old anthem, but at such a low volume it was impossible to hear. Zambia probably should have won. They twice hit the post, and the 39-year-old goalkeeper Samir Abod – only playing because Mousa, having survived the war, suffered a serious knee injury in a warm-up match against a Tunisian club side – made three top-class saves. But Libya held on, drawing 0-0, a result that, with Sudan losing to Ghana and Nigeria conceding a late equaliser at home to Guinea, put them through.
"It is important to make something for our country because for the past year we have had nothing to make us happy," said the defender Mohamed El Mounir. "Players had brothers die, their families die, so when we win it is for all of Libya, not just for us players. We have players from Benghazi, Tripoli, all over Libya; we play like we are brothers who have played for four or five years together even though some of the players are playing for the national team for the first time. But, as you see, everybody loves each other and this is good."

She streaks hair with highlights, or even shades of pink, purple, and blue to help her clients' true colors shine through. Despite her salon's spacious area, she keeps private rooms in which to conduct each treatment. She goes out of her way to make each visitor as comfortable as possible in their borrowed personal space. She wants them to come back. "A repeat client is always the best compliment we can get," she says.

That's because the spa and salon uploads an array of before-and-after pictures to its Facebook page, showing actual results from its body wraps, microdermabrasion treatments, and hair-coloring appointments. Here, clients can rid themselves of unwanted body fat, bronze their skin with airbrush tanning, or throw vampire hunters off their track by infuse their locks with sun-kissed color. They also reap the benefits of handpicked products from renowned skincare line Arbonne, which crafts its formulas with natural ingredients that soften and illuminate skin.5700 Rowlett Rd.Rowlett, TX US
Bioderm Skin Care and Laser CenterRead MoreUnder the careful supervision of their onsite physician, BioDerm Skin Care & Laser Center's licensed medical professionals perform a slew of noninvasive cosmetic services. Using IPL laser energy, they eliminate patient's unwanted hair, spider veins, and tattoos. Though specializing in laser therapy, they extend their aesthetic reach into the anti-aging cookie jar, performing microdermabrasions and Botox and Restylane injections, along with proffering an array of skincare products, including BioDerm and Obagi.315 Coneflower DrGarland, TX US
Shangri-La MedispaRead MoreLed by owner Kimberly Thompson, an entrepreneur, mother, writer, and former model, the clinical staff at Shangri-la Medispa helps busy clients to look and feel their best. A physician tends to both their inner and outer needs by administering cosmetic fillers and overseeing the weight-management program.

In the black-and-white facial room, a picture of Marilyn Monroe glamorously oversees skincare treatments.8710 Greenville AvenueDallas, TX US
Natural Beauty SculptingRead MoreClotilde Barnes's passion for holistic healthcare and nutrition has led her around the globe. After graduating from the Universidad Nacional Aut?noma de Mexico, the native of Veracruz, Mexico, went on to train at the Western College for Medical Assistance and the San Francisco School of Massage while becoming a licensed medical aesthetician. Her journey to the U.S. in 2000 drew her deeper into the medical field, affording her the opportunity to work with family doctors, dermatologists, and chiropractors. Barnes has pooled everything that science and ancient traditions have taught her, and has owned her own business since 2008. Barnes promotes health and well-being with alternative therapies such as reflexology sessions, which balance bodily energy via pressure points in the feet. Organic chemical peels exfoliate skin with gentle enzymes and minerals to diminish fine lines. She also performs photofacials that employ light-emitting diodes, diachronic lamps, or Lite-Brite pins to boost collagen production and combat signs of aging.5612 SMU BoulevardDallas, TX US
Completely BareRead MoreCindy Barshop may have a familiar face. She gained reality-TV fame as a cast member of The Real Housewives of New York City, but she found success much earlier when the Madison Avenue spa she founded more than 10 years ago grew into a hair-removal brand known throughout the country. Completely Bare's waxing specialists dab bikini lines with the shop's proprietary blend of ouch-less wax, which adheres to hair instead of skin to avoid the painful pull that often accompanies a waxing session. The blend is hypoallergenic and does not cause acne, which makes it ideal for depilating sensitive skin and touchy bodily zones. Routine waxing sessions add extra sparkle with the salon's vajazzling service, which bedecks newly hair-free spots with up to 70 Swarovski crystals arranged into such shapes as hearts, stars, peace signs, and MPAA ratings. The spa specialists also migrate beyond the below-the-belt area to polish the rest of the body with facials, laser hair removal, spray tanning, and teeth whitening.5300 East Mockingbird LaneDallas, TX US

UCLA Player Threatened Before Victim Was Pushed Into Glass Case, Lawyer Says
A UCLA basketball player pleaded not guilty Monday to felony assault following a fracas in Hollywood, and his attorney says the dust up was "clearly a case of self-defense" on the part of his client, Nikola Dragovic.
The 6-foot, 9-inch player was involved in a fight with another man following a concert at the Henry Fonda Theater in Hollywood in October. The District Attorney's office contends the player plowed the victim into a glass display case, injuring the victim and causing a laceration to his Achilles tendon.
The 22-year-old forward from Serbia and a 21-year-old friend were slapped with charges of assault with intention to do great bodily injury. Dragovic faces an additional charge of personal infliction of great bodily injury.
But the player's attorney, Jon Artz, told reporters that Dragovic was acting in self defense and had walked away from the victim after he started a conflict by slapping the player's friend and threatening the pair in Serbian. "The alleged victim was the aggressor," the attorney said.

It will come as no surprise to most Kershaw Countians that the so-called Washington "super committee" which is charged with coming up with a plan to rein in runaway deficits is not only failing to make progress but now has been witnessing back-and-forth sniping between its members. It's just the latest chapter in a rancorous debate between Republicans and Democrats in Washington, with the loser, of course, being the American taxpayer.
So here's what one doctor told women runners who wanted to compete in distance races back in the early 1960s:
If you are over 50 years old, or were raised in a small Southern community or "from these parts," then you may have a better appreciation of this story than others would.

The following real estate transfers were recently recorded in the Kershaw County Assessor's office:
For those who knew her, our hearts are saddened at the loss of the one of God's faithful servants. Clarice Steele came to Camden as a preacher's wife back in the 1960s and 1970s when her husband was pastor at Hermitage Baptist Church. He was killed in an automobile accident in 1974 that left her a widow taking care of her family and she decided to make Camden her home.
Equipped with safety glasses, latex gloves and protective aprons, the scientists hunched over the work table, engrossed in the test at hand.

On Oct. 1, for the first time in more than 20 years, the Truesdale/dell/del families met at Bethany Baptist Church for a reunion. They came, arms full of food, photographs, computers, and memories to share with each other. They began arriving before noon, eager to meet relatives that they had heard of but never met except via e-mail and phone calls. Many had never known they had living relatives other than their immediate kin.
Delores Butler Eichelberger was born in Camden, South Carolina. She was the second of five children born to the late Bessie and Lenon Butler Jr. She attended local public schools, graduating from Jackson High in 1968. She received a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from South Carolina State University in 1972. In 1972, she was employed by the Midland Center department of disabilities and assigned to the Kershaw County workshop facility, a day school and work environment for adults with disabilities. In June of 1974 she accepted employment with E.I. DuPont as a Manufacturing Supervisor. She worked in ...

As we noted Monday, the Camden Planning and Zoning Commission was scheduled to hear a proposal Tuesday night for a rezoning request for the Beechwood property on Knights Hill Road, a move which could lead to a retirement community being built there which would be a tasteful and feasible addition to the Camden community. We hope the project moves forward.
WASHINGTON -- You know we're off to the races when the first slip of the tongue by the presumed Republican presidential front-runner consumes the news for days and launches the primary race in earnest.
Susan Amos, 21, a 1984 graduate of Lugoff-Elgin High School, was crowned Miss Spartanburg on April 18 in Spartanburg.
More than 60 percent of us who live in South Carolina today were born here. As native South Carolinians, we grew up imbibing the history, heritage and myths of the South. And there is no stronger myth of the South than the myth of the Lost Cause, as beautifully and brilliantly portrayed by the 1939 romantic historical film epic, Gone With the Wind.

Why Pray Together?
There's a prayer meeting at my church tonight. Instead of feeling energized by the thought of praying with others, an unexplained tiredness falls heavy on me. Maybe I should go home to rest. I won't be missing much, will I?
Divine Adoption
Adopting two boys from Russia opened Russell Moore's eyes to the privilege of being a child of God. People would ask, "Are they really brothers?" "Have you met their real mom?" Moore simply replied, "Of course they're brothers. They're both in our family. And their real mom is my wife."
A Different Unity
A group of churches in our city came together to do a neighborhood cleanup. The shared project went so well that they now exchange choirs and praise bands and have multichurch picnics. Oh sure, there are things they disagree on. But to them, Jesus is a reason for unity.
leading example
The pastor of a megachurch quit providing content through social media—declaring his return to his original calling of pastoring his local church. He felt that the distraction of his popular online communications were detracting from His primary calling. Pastors and all of us struggle at times with our priorities.
ruling kind of peace
Many Christians are familiar with the classic hymn "It Is Well with My Soul." The first line of the song reads, "When peace like a river attendeth my way." But, for most of us, peace isn't a mighty and strong river. It's more like a feather that can be easily pushed aside by the concerns and worries of life. For me, holding on to peace in the midst of turmoil is like trying to catch a piece of dust in the air!
face the music
The wise pastor told his new worship director, "There's one style of music I hope you never play in our church." She grabbed a pen and asked, "What is it?" He replied, "I'll never tell you. If we all insist on getting our own way, we'll never sing anything."
divine diversity
If you've ever strolled through a botanical garden or an art museum, you know that diversity makes for beauty. For some reason, however, this doesn't seem to work within the church.
In discussing the premise of the movie The Amazing Spider-Man, director Marc Webb writes, "This is the stuff of classic tragedy. It's about trying to do good, and by virtue of trying to do good, bad things happen. It's what [the mythical Greek king] Oedipus does—he goes out and tries to save the city, and he ends up sleeping with his mother." Webb laughs. "His efforts are noble! But the irony of it is that he causes damage by trying to do good. That is, to me, the most resonant thing of tragedy. Spider-Man is saving people and the world, but it's at his own expense."
Walking Close
In 2014, a pod of pilot whales was found floundering in perilously shallow water off the shore of Florida in the US. Forty or fifty short-finned whales remained close to a narrow shoreline—choosing not to swim out to the deeper waters, where they would be safe. Several of the blackfish were ill, which caused conservationists to worry. Pilot whales are intensely loyal creatures, and when one in their group is sick or in jeopardy, the rest of the pod simply will not leave. They form a circle and stay close together.
Who We Are
Zechariah lived out a twofold identity as both priest and prophet. The grandson of the priest Iddo and the head priest of his family (Zechariah 1:1; Nehemiah 12:1,16), he was prophetically called to encourage the people of Judah with God's words (Zechariah 1:13-17). In addition, he told them to repent (Zechariah 1:3-4), renew their efforts for God (Zechariah 8:12-13), and follow His ways (Zechariah 7:8-10).
The UK foot-and-mouth-disease epidemic in 2001 wrought more destruction to the British farming community than any event in history. Some believers prayed that Christian farmers would be miraculously protected, while others prayed that their witness for Jesus would be strong, no matter what happened.
using your gift
The 2013 film Frozen tells the story of a troubled princess named Elsa who possessed a special gift—the power to create ice and snow. We're not talking about making iced tea. No—with a flick of the wrist, this princess could unleash a blizzard that would instantly turn a warm summer day into a cold winter wonderland.
small steps
Reconciliation. It's God's heart for people to be restored in relationship with one another across differences in culture, race, and class. This is vital, but sometimes it feels so big that we don't know where to start.
one source
During October, the trees come alive with color in my region. One year, a particular tree caught my attention. Like Joseph, it wore a "coat" of many colors. Its top leaves were plum-colored. A little lower, the purple morphed into crimson foliage. The red gave way to robin's-chest orange, and finally, neon yellow leaves peeked out at the bottom like a petticoat. Although the leaves had radically different colors, they all had sprouted from the same maple tree.
you choose Q: what's the mission of the church?
Q; What's the mission of the church? —Sean
A: The church is a holy priesthood. As a body, it shares the gospel of Jesus Christ with the lost and intercedes with God for an unbelieving world (1 Peter 2:5,9). Acts 2:42 summarizes the activities of the earliest fellowship of believers—activities that should still characterize the church today—this way: "The believers devoted themselves to the…

A couple weeks ago I dropped about half of my daughter's dinner from her plate on the stove. I started bawling and wasn't able to refill her plate I was crying so hard. We had plenty of food for everyone even after I dropped her food so I have no explanation for the sudden tears. Well, I have one: pregnancy. Damn these hormones!
