Katzinger's Little Delicatessen Opens in North Market
It was announced a few months ago that German Village staple, Katzinger's Deli, would open Katzinger's Little Delicatessen, their second location, in the North Market. This week, the store opened at the southwest entrance to the Market, across from Omega Artisan Baking.
The smaller store still offers much of what customers crave from Katzinger's Deli, in addition to some unique items. Ten signature sandwiches are being served, including one that's just for the North Market crowd.
Little Deli also offers five side dishes and four kinds of brownies to round out the dining experience. All of the dishes there reflect the standard the parent store has always used, and prices are comparable as well.
"The North Market is famous for showcasing independent vendors who offer the highest quality artisanal food and ingredients," shares Diane Warren, owner of Katzinger's. "This menu selection allows us to serve our guests generally in just a few minutes from the time they order."
Customers are also able to purchase deli meats by the pound from Little Deli, including corned beef and pastrami, as well as their signature salads, breads, and pickles. Call ahead service is available as well.
Katzinger's Little Delicatessen is open Monday from 11am – 3pm, Tuesday-Friday, 9am – 7pm, Saturday, 8am – 5pm, and on Sunday, from noon till 5pm. To place a carry-out order, call 614-221-5377.

Of crazy, drunk locals, sandstorms and Moroccan adventures
Yesterday I uploaded a paper to the Arxiv (Spectral functions in metallic AdS/CFT) which should be online Monday. (Edit, up now 0904.3905).
This morning I've had my normal Saturday routine of Chinese and Spanish vocabulary, combining Anki for long term memory retention and Genius (great program, terrible name - really hard to Google for!) for the short term. Both of these work on spaced repetition techniques, though Genius is based on intervals of flashcards (with this I can effectively memorise around 100 Spanish words in an hour, though this will only stay fresh for less than 24 hours) whilst Anki is based on intervals of time (and is very effective for building long term memory). Together I find 10 minutes a day plus an hour on a Saturday and Sunday is very good for increasing my vocabulary with little effort.
Anyway, feeling reasonably happy to relax for the afternoon I thought I'd write up one of the major stories of my travels in Morocco. Perhaps the most exciting episode in the week I was away.
I should at this point introduce the members of the party for ease of description. The five of us who had come out from Santiago in some sort of unison were Paolo, An Italian, our elected driver, independent and an experienced traveler, Merlinda, German, a seasoned traveler in South America, Daniel, a Peruvian masters student in Santiago, and Yolanda, the only native Spaniard on our trip, and completely fearless.
We had organised a trip into the desert around 10 hours drive South East of Marrakech, a journey we had made over a period of two days, stopping off at some incredible sites on the way. As you head towards the desert from Marakkech, you are immediately met with the sight of the High Atlas Mountains, a stunning vision as you leave the chaos of the city behind you.
You spend some time winding your way around tight turns and shear drops, before coming out the other side several hours later as the landscape changes gradually from the gently undulating foothills of the mountains to the plains of the desert.
We organised the desert trip as we got into one of the last major towns before the roads turns to dust. Having done little planning we simply wandered in the baking heat from agency to agency trying to find out how much we were likely to be ripped off by and what was the best deal for the short time we had available. In our experience, Moroccans are extremely welcoming but uncannily laid-back. Organisation is spontaneous, and the 'no worries, it'll be fine' attitude is prevalent but actually seems to work. We eventually organised our trip with an agency who bought us a couple of big bag of provisions and told us to drive 100 km to the very last town on the map where we would meet a guy called Ahmed in a bar who would take us into the desert.
The hour drive was smooth, but punctuated by our concerns that we would get there to find no sign of an Ahmed, or perhaps too many Ahmeds. Eventually we arrived at the asigned bar and asked for Ahmed, who of course was not around. There was however a group of four young guys who said not to worry. They would take us out, they knew Ahmed and it was all organised. We just had to give them our bags and they would take them to the camels up the road, out of sight. This was all done with such uncanny nonchelance that we felt pretty uneasy. Who were these guys? Were we about to have all our things taken and left in the desert for the mangy dogs to pick over. As we tried to acertain the verity of these guy's claims a big four-wheel drive turned up and a tall gentleman came out, looking serious and in charge, dressed in the normal desert attire of a long white robe and head-scarf. Ahmed certainly looked like he was boss and knew what was going on, so we followed him, with the four guys, who it turned out were indeed with him, to the camels sat resting around the corner.
Ahmed took our things in his 4WD and raced off through the desert to put our bags there for when we arrived. In the meantime we were introduced to our transport, mounted the camels and headed off into the desert sunset, led by two brothers, who chatted quietly in Berber as we started out first camel trek. During the hour or so on the camels we were led in a small circle a few kilometers across the gently rolling dunes and out to the camp which was to be our home for the night. As we rocked back and forth, enjoying the evening warmth, the sight of the sun setting was obscured by an incoming dark cloud. We were told that the sand was coming in, and the winds began to pick it up around us and deposit it in between our teeth as we chatted quietly along the way.
By the time we arrived at the camp the winds had died down but the ominous cloud remained in the direction of the sunset, moving, it seemed, in our direction. Somehow we all decided to split at this point and once we'd been made to feel at home in the camp and introduced to the basic facilities I headed off a hundred yards or so into the desert.
At this point the winds had completely vanished, and as I lay down on the sand the warmth of it from below matching my body temperature perfectly and the lack of wind meaning absolute, complete silence, the sensory deprevation felt wonderful. I don't think I've ever been somewhere so silent and I the meditative state stayed with me for the ten minutes or so I lay there without moving a muscle.
After ten minutes the silence ended with a few gentle gusts of wind, blowing the sand around me into my ears and over my body on the ground. I got up, dusted myself off and headed back to the camp, the winds continuing to grow steadily. By this point the ominous cloud which had been clear before was no longer at a distance, but was surrounding us in its outer layers.
I went to the tent 30 yards from the main shelters where the toilet was located. By this point the dusk combined with the sand in the air meant that I could only make out the tent from the lights on the outside, and the candle from inside gave minimal illumination.
As I emerged from the bathroom I was met with chaos. In the two minutes inside, the winds had picked up from a gentle breeze to a howling gale, the air was thick with sand, and the noise was incredible. Standing in the doorway I could just make out the lights of the main tents, but as soon as I stepped out I couldn't open my eyes, the sand getting in however narrowly I tried to open them. My ears quickly filled with sand and the rough feeling of wind scraping across my exposed skin was a harsh wakeup from the sensory deprivation ten minutes earlier. I gently edged forwards as the wind continued to howl and for a brief second I tried to work out how serious this situation was. Up ahead I could simply hear the shouts of the guys in the camp, the strange words getting more alien as they reached me through the wall of sand. Moving forward, opening my eyes for a fraction of a second every few steps I eventually reached the main camp where the guys were rushing around trying to get everything inside. We all made it into the main tent, the Berbers scraping the dust out of their eyes, which had been open the whole time, needing, as they did, to make sure everyone was safe.
We realised at this point that Paolo was still out in the desert and one of the guys went out to look for him. The seriousness of the situation clearly depended on how long this was going to last and it was hard to tell from their expressions what the real situation was. Ten minutes later as the wind died down just as fast as it had picked up, a sandy Paolo strolled in from the desert, having spent the sandstorm sitting on a dune, enjoying the assault, without a care in the world. He looked confused but content and we all went inside, happy to have experienced a rather exciting phenomenon, but relieved that it looked like things were calming down.

Indeed the wind died down and stayed gentle for the rest of the night, the sky never quite clearing and completely obscuring the stars. Ironically, the main reason I'd wanted to go to the desert was to see the stars in a location hundreds of kilometers from nearest city. Clear as it was that this was not going to happen, I resigned myself to simply enjoying the night in the desert.
We relaxed as the evening progressed, our tagine being cooked up for a late dinner and music being played afterwards. To me at least this didn't feel put on. The guys simply sat around the fire singing and playing guitar letting us come and go as we wanted, and thankfully it felt like they were playing for their own enjoyment rather than our entertainment.
I just took a couple of photos of the desert. This one, at around midnight, lit by the full moon through the dust clouds was a thirty second exposure which is a basic shot, but I like the slightly mysterious tones from the unusual light source:
As we sat around I chatted with an English woman, who was the only other non-local in the camp and the girlfriend of one of the guys who worked there. She told me of a bus leaving the town from which we had started the camel ride which was to leave at 6am the next morning. It had been my plan to get out early the next day and move off on my own to wherever I could. She was going to be taking the bus too, to head up North to renew her visa in the Spanish enclave on the coast. I spoke with the guys at the camp and they said they could organise a bus ticket for me too and that I could be taken to the bus stop the next morning. I was happy at having experienced the desert, if only for a short time, and the idea of spending the morning in a rapidly warming camp didn't particularly appeal. Certainly with more time to spare it would have been great to spend a few days there but given the constraints I decided to take the bus to Marrakech the next morning.
I was told I'd be woken at five to have some breakfast and then be taken to the bus stop. Getting into the sleeping tent at around two in the morning having spent a lovely evening sitting around listening to the music and chatting I tried, in vain, to get any sleep.
At four thirty I heard shouting from outside my tent as Ahmed opened the flap and told me to get up. A little startled I rubbed my eyes, got dressed and got my things together, heading towards the main tent for a spot to eat. There I found Ahmed glaring at me over croissants and honey, sitting on the floor looking dour. He invited me to sit with him and have something to eat. I sat down next to him and the stink of alcohol hit me, the empty bottle of red wine rolling under the table. My heart rate picked up as I tried to assess the situation. He was clearly not happy but this was a situation I was going to have to deal with.
We spoke in broken French and English as he explained that we both understood each other. He pointed at me mumbling something about Israel and winked, I couldn't work out what he meant, whether this was supposed to be a sign of some understanding or a threat. Still trying to work out exaclty what he was trying to imply he said that he was a good man and that because he was getting up so early for me I could perhaps give him a little money, perhaps five euros. This had not been in the deal when we had chatted the previous night, but I figured that if this was going to stabilise the situation then five euros was ok. I said that I had to go out for minute as Paolo walked in and sat next to Ahmed. Paolo and Yolanda had said they wanted to come to the town with me, as they had the keys to the car where some of my belongings were. They were not happy to give the key to Ahmed to bring back later, probably a wise decision.
As I came back, Paolo walked out looking concerned, saying that Ahmed was very unhappy and wanted more from me. I smiled and said it was fine, I would pay five euros and the situation would be smoothed over. I sat down and Ahmed repeated his demand, so I got out five euros and gave it to him. He looked at it, and then at me with pure disgust, taking the note and throwing it on the ground. 'No!' he said 'five-ty euros, five-ty! What is this?' He suddenly wanted fifty euros to take me two kilometers to the bus stop, as time was quickly running out and my chance of getting to my destination was fast disappearing. I explained that this simply wasn't possible, but that I understood his sacrifice at having to get up early (though it was clear that he hadn't gone to bed). I said that I needed to get the bus, and that we both had to be reasonable.
One thing I discovered on this trip on a couple of occasions was that I can continue to speak in a relaxed tone which appears to calm people down, even when I'm feeling panicked inside. I wouldn't want to test this too often but the times that I needed it on this trip, things seemed to work ok. Indeed on this occasion too, with a bit of persuasion, my heart beating quickly, he agreed that he would take me without the fifty euros and we headed for the car, Paolo and Yolanda in tow.
Getting in the car, he threw his empty glass out of the window, snarled, and turned on the engine. It was a considered decision taking this short trip with him, though I would never condone getting in a car with a drunk driver. It was five in the morning and we were going to be driving through the desert for a couple of kilometers and then a hundred yards into a small village which was filled with a few local bars and a few houses. Clearly there are strong arguments for why I shouldn't have done this but at the time I didn't feel that I had much of a choice and my guess was that the risk to those in the car was small, while from what I had seen earlier, the likelihood of anyone being around at that time in the village was smaller. Luckily I was right and nobody was on the streets at this time, bar a single man at the busstop. It also seemed somewhat obvious that he spent a lot of his time driving around in this state.
He put his foot down and the back wheels span as the 4WD took off across the dunes, me, holding on tightly and preparing for a collision with a dune at an unlucky angle. We raced along, the back of the car sliding as we took the corners of the path marked out through the desert. I continued to talk with him in as calm a manner as I could, hoping it would pacify him a little, but he continued to snarl and bark at Paolo and me. As the car hopped over the last dunes, at full pelt, we entered the village and raced around the first two corners, quickly reaching the bus stop where a lone man stood. He slowed down and pointed to it, saying that the bus must have gone and that we would have to race to catch up with it. This was clearly rubbish and my heart sank as I imagined racing around the winding mountain roads with a drunk maniac at the wheel. Thankfully I remembered that I had to get my things from the car first, and that the car was parked next to the bus stop. We stopped and I got out, took my things and went hurriedly to the man at the bus stop who told me that he was taking the same bus to Marrakech which was dune to arrive shortly. I smiled, relieved that we'd made it in one piece and that I wasn't going to have to get back in the car with this crazy guy.
He came over to me, still ranting and demanded money again. He was still angry with Paolo and given that I was soon going to be out of there but that Paolo and Yolanda would still have to deal with him I considered that it might make things easier for them. I gave him five euros, feeling bad at giving money to someone so completely irresponsible, but hoping that this might make less trouble for my friends.
The bus pulled up, I got on and breathed a sigh of relief. The English woman got on with her boyfriend, having run all the way from desert camp as they discovered their motorbike had a flat. Ahmed was still outside firey eyed as I watched Paolo and Yolanda run around the corner to escape him. We pulled away and I ran through the last hour's events as the day brightened and I considered what was ahead for me. I still didn't know where I was going to spend the night as I wanted to go further North than Marrakech. In the end I sat on the bus for almost 11 hours before going to Marrakech train station and randomly picking up a ticket for Rabat, another five hours North, finally arriving, exhausted but happy, in time for a late dinner.
In the mean time things back at camp continued in a surreal fashion. Ahmed arrived back at the camp at around 9, having gone hunting for Paolo and Yolanda with no luck and demanding that Merlinda and Daniel come with him to search for the crazy Italian. Unsurprisingly Merlinda and Daniel were none too happy with these demands, having planned to take the camels back to the town, as agreed the night before. The long and the short of it is that he drove them into the town, ranting all the time, threatening Paolo. At this point Merlinda cleverly turned on her perfectly calm, ditzy tourist disguise and asked if she could take a photo of the beautiful buildings. She and Daniel got out and as soon as his back was turned they made a run for it.
Managing to lose him, they found their way to the only possibly place that they figured they might find Paolo and Yolanda, the bar which we had first expected to find Ahmed. Paolo and Yolanda were sat inside, looking perfectly relaxed and sipping on mint teas. Finding that Ahmed was now in town and furious they grabbed there bags and sprinted for the car, hoping not to be seen in the process. They made it to the car which they had hidden around a corner, and raced off, with no sign of the 4WD in the rear-view mirror.
It took them a while to be sure that they were alone, but a half hour or so out of town they could relax and try and put together the pieces of what had happened in the last few surreal hours. Speaking later it turns out that their understanding of the situation differed markedly from the truth that I discovered talking with the British woman who said that this crazy guy brought nothing but trouble to the camp with which he only had vague connections.
Anyway, we all made it out, thankfully, unharmed and only a little shaken. Personally I was happy at having gone through the minor adventure, finding that such things only add to the strength of memories of a good holiday...perhaps that says a little too much about what makes me tick, but there we go.

Since you are reading this article page, then chances are you are most likely acquainted with our prime quality, innovation and technology that Oakley places into their sunglasses. The oakley sydney are needless to say, not an exclusion on the rule.
Polarized sunglasses are specifically made to decrease or prevent glare. Light-weight shown from types of surface say for example a automobile windscreen, level highway or water can normally be regarded polarized. Which means that, rather than lighting becoming dispersed in numerous instructions the reflected light-weight trips within a more horizontal course, which could produce an typically bothersome and, occasionally very dangerous extreme lighting referred to as "Glare."
Polarized sun glasses were initial quite popular with anglers and boaters who were continuously in the middle of the glare becoming demonstrated from the sun rays on the normal water. The polarized lenses permitted enhanced exposure and lessened eyesight pressure when becoming on water. Since that time polarized eyeglasses have grown to be popular with people participating in lively backyard pursuits.
Polarized contact lenses include a specific gentle filtration that obstructs this kind of intense demonstrated light, decreasing glare. This glare reduction enables increased exposure and less eyesight stress. Even though cheap oakley australia improve convenience and presence, there are several instances when these camera lenses may not be the most beneficial. Downhill skiing is definitely an case in point, of when it can be more useful to view the glare that may be exhibiting off icy patches, because this can notify skiers to prospective risks since they technique.
Polarized camera lenses could also decrease the awareness of images made by liquefied crystal displays (LCDs). This can be an issue because there is a rise in LCD's simply being useful for vehicle dashboard readouts, electronic screens on auto teller devices (ATM's), cellular phones, and Gps navigation devices. Aircraft pilots also provide noted related problems when looking at LCD's on airplane instrument solar panels, which can be an essential problem.
Polarized lenses differ from non-polarized lenses in one primary way. Straight polarization disables transmission of your horizontal light-weight via polarized camera lenses. The result is polarized sunglass lenses minimize glare made by the sun's representation on level areas. The real difference in between polarized and low- polarized lenses is pretty noticeable when compared next to each other.
Most sun glasses manufactures apply a polarized layer or perhaps a layered way of gluing a film between your lens for their eyeglasses to minimize glare. However , this procedure can reduce visual clarity and cause distortion.
Now, as you may expect, Oakley aims to surpass many other sun glasses producers and possesses carried out so making use of their polarization technological innovation. Oakley polarized shades are designed having a advanced level of technologies by using a fluid infusion approach built to connection the polarizing filter and lens at the molecular levels. The significance of this oklsys is the fact that polarization effect doesn't put on or massage away just like other companies, and visual clearness is maintained on the greatest degrees.
Industry standard polarized filtration system must be fixed in a body therefore the polarization aeroplane does not deviate from the side to side airplane by more than five diplomas. The main difference involving the left and right eyes polarization filtration system are unable to deviate greater than six levels. (Consequently every eyes might be experiencing greatly various orientations of any object, causing the brain to operate more to make feeling of the thing).
As you might again have suspected, Oakley polarized filtration systems are aligned in 2 qualifications through the horizontal airplane and therefore are virtually identical remaining to right. This equals a lowering of eyesight stress and human brain ability to sound right in the images found in the best and kept eye. Possibly that's why men and women frequently get migraines from sporting those low-cost sunglasses.
Polarization is just one of the numerous amazing technologies that Oakley infuses into it's eyeglasses. These patented innovations are acknowledged jointly as High Definition Optics (HDO®) and offer unsurpassed clearness and gratification. Once you experience hi-def sight with these top of efficiency oakley melbourne, it can be hard to bring them away from. Browse the Oakley polarized sunglasses, I believe you may be pleasantly impressed.

Health care costs keep rising – get them under control
Health care costs, already a significant drain on many small businesses, may increase further following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, expected this summer. The central question of the case examines the individual mandate, which is set to go into effect in 2014 and will require most Americans to buy health insurance or pay a penalty.
If the individual mandate is struck down, the Court will also decide whether or not other components of the law must be dismantled as well. If the individual mandate stands, employers will likely find themselves carrying more employees on their health care plans, including those with pre-existing conditions.
Employers may already find themselves offering coverage to more people because some parts of the Affordable Care Act are already in effect. Children may now remain on their parents' health care plans until they are 26 years old, and adults who were uninsured for six months or more because of pre-existing conditions are now eligible for coverage.
While waiting for the Supreme Court decision, many employers find themselves trying to balance their employees' needs with rising health care costs.
Higher Deductibles
The single most popular way to manage the high cost of providing health care to employees is the use of high-deductible insurance, which continues to gain popularity.
High-deductible plans are less expensive at the outset because they offer lower premiums, but employees must meet higher deductibles before insurance payments begin. High-deductible plans are part of a trend of consumer-driven healthcare that has employees questioning the breakdown of charges. Wells Fargo and American Express are just two of the companies offering their employees strictly high-deductible choices.
Business Basics
When aiming to reduce a business' health care costs, it's helpful to understand the basics of some of the most popular savings account options:
- HSAs (Health Savings Accounts): Employers are now offering HSAs as a side benefit to high-deductible plans. Employers and employees contribute to these accounts using pre-tax dollars. When employees need to pay health care costs it is usually as easy as swiping a debit card to access those saved funds.
- HRAs (Health Reimbursement Accounts): Health reimbursement accounts are funded by employers with tax-free money. These accounts allow an employer to reimburse employees for qualifying medical expenses and the employer gets to decide what those expenses will be. HRAs are administered by third parties and the money in the account is allowed to roll over from year to year.
- FSAs (Flexible Spending Accounts): With flexible spending accounts employees set aside pre-tax money to pay for health care or child care or other dependent-related expenses. If employees don't use their FSA dollars by the end of a calendar year, the money is forfeited. FSAs are generally offered as a vehicle for reducing health care costs for employees in traditional insurance plans.
Shopping Around
In searching for lower health care options, the first step for employers is to assess what health care is costing the business.The next step is to shop around and see if costs can be reduced. Many small businesses do the following to help them find lower cost health care:
- Partner with a reputable Professional Employer Organization (PEO) to gain access to better benefits packages
- Purchase health care directly from the health insurance company
- Join an association that offers health insurance options to its members at a discounted price
These are uncertain times for employers navigating the world of health care coverage for employees. Staying current with the law and examining all of the options is the way to provide the benefits employees need and want, without breaking the bank.
What steps have you taken to reduce health care costs for your business?

This morning I woke up and took my regular scroll through Facebook and saw an article which caught my attention. Not only were the images attention grabbing but the title (not the actual title but the one used to share the post) was rather interesting to say the least. I normally don't care too much about articles that are related to women's issues but for some reason, my curiosity was heightened, especially because it was from BuzzFeed and they normally do a good job with their social messages. (Shout out to Quinta B). Before opening the article I scanned the comments to see what people had to say, to see if I should really read it. I had only read a couple of lines and I could see where the article was heading. It had testimonials of women who modeled the same swimsuits that Victoria Secret (VS) models wore and them claiming that they love themselves and people should celebrate women of all body types. Now I'm all for the celebration of all body types as we are all made differently (men and women), except if you're identical twins, and even then, there are some differences. However, I was taken aback by the way BuzzFeed handled their sharing of this article. It was very tabloid-like of them. (See article http://www.buzzfeed.com/laraparker/heres-what-victorias-secret-swimsuits-look-like-on-real-wome#.owJ80Vkwd)
The message they were trying to bring across could have been handled with more sensitivity especially when inferring that VS Models aren't real women and basically giving other women more ammo to attack these models. The pictures below show a VS model and another model both wearing the same swimsuit. It doesn't take, well…it shouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that these two women have two distinct body types. Yet, according to a few women, only one would be considered real. Take a wild guess who it is.
All day I've been trying to wrap my head around why people are claiming a VS model isn't real when I'm clearly looking at a real woman. What does it take for a woman to be classed as real? Does she have to boast her flaws for all to see? Should she not try to make herself presentable as do everyone else when they are interacting with others? Drawing from my own observations, many of the women who piped up today and are still doing so; ready to cast out VS models as real because they wear makeup etc, need to take a long look in the mirror and be sure that their pimples, stretch marks, birth marks and everything flawed is on show before they chastise a model for concealing theirs.
Some went even further to say it is unnatural for a woman to look like a VS model. Now this is where I had to chuckle to myself. I'm no longer a student of science nor am I working in the field, but I do know that if it is natural for a woman to have "curves in all the right places" it is also natural for a woman to look like a VS model. Don't tell me that because you don't look like a VS model that their aren't people in the world who do. Don't tell me photoshop and airbrushing causes them to look unnatural when every December at the annual VS Fashion Show, these models are walking on a live runway and to my knowledge, we haven't developed any means of photoshopping a person live. (If we have, then share the info). These women work hard to maintain their figure but obvious jealously plays a role most of the comments I've read. You can say you aren't jealous and I should go fall in a ditch somewhere; but when you are a woman, tearing down these women because they don't look like you, it's quite clear you have a great relationship with the color green.
We all know that VS fashions are meant for a specific audience, so why does a woman who knows she isn't part of the target audience feel the need to shop in VS's stores? There are so many brands out there that cater to everyone, but because these women want to say they're wearing VS, they enter the stores. Whose fault is that? Why torture yourself by comparing your body to that of a VS model? Why help BuzzFeed in their agenda of body shaming these VS models? I'm sure you too felt some type of way when you were told that you don't have a "beach body". BuzzFeed could have achieved its purpose without making comparisons to the VS models and if you're a woman and don't see that it is wrong, then you my friend aren't a real woman. Real women celebrate each other and as BuzzFeed so cleverly tried to hide their brazen-faced article by stating the obvious at the the very end, it still took jabs at women of similar body types to that of a VS model (yes they do exist and aren't just made on a computer), all in the name of female empowerment. Coming from someone who doesn't see the relevance of Feminism, it says a lot when you, as a woman, can't see the fault.

Floyd Mayweather was praised for "doing boxing proud" after beating UFC star Connor McGregor in 12 rounds of boxing in Las Vegas. The triumph was Mayweather's 50th victory - and he kept his unbeaten record.
A masterful Mayweather stopped McGregor by TKO in the 10th round.
WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman said that Mayweather's victory showed to millions of people the great art of self-defense, the great art of boxing, which had been developed throughout the years.
"Mayweather didn't take a step back. He did boxing proud."
Speaking at the WBC convention in Baku, Azerbaijan, the WBC President said "Money" Mayweather had showed why boxing had withstood the test of time dating back to the Marquees of Queensberry rules that was drafted 1867 in London and accepted as the code of rules for the sport of boxing.
The WBC had presented Mayweather with the Emerald Belt after he won the showdown fight with Manny Pacquiao. The undefeated champion added to his collection the WBC Money Belt, which contained 3,360 diamonds, 600 sapphires, 160 emeralds and about 3.3 pounds of 24-karat gold.
The Money Belt took many hours of skillfull work by artisans and regarded as the priceless piece for the historic Mayweather/McGregor event.

French Blue, as previously reported, announced on January 30, 2018 it was changing its name to French Bee to avoid any confusion with JetBlue Airways for its new Paris (Orly) – San Francisco – Papeete, Tahiti service.
However the first aircraft (above) has been painted by Airbus and the aircraft only has "French" titles.
The airlines is formally named French SAS.

The SIM4NEXUS game will enable players to implement policies in a game play environment and explore how policies impact on different nexus components. Policies will be implemented using policy cards, which combine summary information about policy actions, costs and potential benefits with an element of strategic intrigue. The cost information facilitates scorekeeping according to both financial and social capital metrics. Costs are tallied against benefits, which are revealed as game play progresses. This allows a player to measure progress and compare to others.
The game includes a strategy map that facilitates comparison of policy impacts in different regions, a tech-tree that allows users to make decisions regarding investment into certain technologies, a virtual card table in which policy cards can be applied through a drag-and-drop interface, and a visualization system that shows the impacts of users' decisions on the model.
Underlying the Serious Game are system dynamics models that are used to simulate policy impacts on different nexus components, and at regional scales. The link to system dynamics modeling ensures a sound science basis and adds to the realism of the game.
The Serious Game will be tested using ten case studies, each covering a different geographic region in Europe. Two further games at European and global scales will also be developed for demonstration and educational purposes. The ultimate goal of game development is to create a fun and interactive pedagogical tool that will continue to be used in research, educational settings and management after the conclusion of SIM4NEXUS.
Here http://seriousgame.sim4nexus.eu/ you can see the components of the SIM4NEXUS Serious Game for the Greek case study. With the right mouse click you can activate any of the regions, and see detailed data for each of the Nexus sectors, as well as the policy cards. Please note that numerical values are only indicative, and the Serious Game is still under development.
You can find a short demo-video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PmY8XfI8ms
Some tips on how to navigate through the game:
Controls are all with the mouse:
- right click and drag to pan
- use mouse wheel to zoom in / zoom out (or scroll function if you have a touch pad)
- click on a region square on the left part to select a region and update the display
- click on a card to see its impact on the model tree
- drag and drop a card in the gant chart area entitled "state of play" to apply a policy and click on "End Turn" button at the top to update model accordingly and see results.
- click on top buttons in the white area entitled "Results for: ..." to change display - to horizon graphs.
- click on individual graphs in the white area entitled "Results for: ..." when they have "children" data to explore them. Click on the return arrow to return to the top variables...

Old Habits
Old habits die hard, isn't that what they say?
My old habit? Making art whilst sprawled out on the floor.
It's a life long habit I've had. I can't break it. I have done it ever since I can remember. If it was not on the floor, then it was on a bed. I had a pretty small bedroom growing up, and most of my sketching and art making happened whilst lying belly down on a bed due to the lack of space. And it stuck.
Sometimes my adult self tries to be refined and mature and paint at an inclined desk, an easel, a table, or even whilst sitting in a chair. So Fancy!
But you know what? Nothing feels as good to me as lying down on the floor with a good feather pillow. I feel like that's when I really let myself fall into art making.
Besides, it's not like I paint mature and refined subjects anyway (Why, hello, ice cream scooping cat!)...
So, here's closing out Ferbruary (sorry for the lack of posts - life stuffs, you know?) with a work in progress.
It's been a crazy 2013 thus far, but I'm aching to get back into the swing of everything...Back to a clean studio, back to art making, painting (Golly, does the smell of real, actual paitn make me happy!), and back to losing myself to other worlds while sprawled out on the floor like osme five year old.

Valentimey (Bleh)
Despite being first introduced to the idea of Doctor Who almost twenty years ago now (thanks, Kirk Damato), I've only just now begun watching it. Crazy, eh?
Hence I had Daleks on the brain when I drew this up today.
Time has been very fast-going around these parts lately (sooooooo busy, life is!), so I only just squeezed in this holiday themed...doodle? Sketch? I dunno what to call it. Bleh.
Let's call it a rough, because I like the idea, but I am none too happy with my lazy and slipshod execution.
But then again, today has been kind of a lazy and slipshod Valentine's day, so there you go? I figure I like it better when artists show some of thier misses as well as their hits, and I would consider this a miss myself (execution wise, at least). Some other day I will do it over and better and like it more. So, here's looking at more geekery in (better) drawing form in the near future.
As for now, don't be a dalek, and have a very Happy Valentine's Day! Pin It

- Antipodes Ananda Antioxidant Rich Gentle Toner
Antipodes Ananda Antioxidant Rich Gentle Toner suitable for Sensitive, Irritated & Sun Damaged Skin conditions. Bring bliss to stressed and damaged skin.
Bring bliss to stressed skin as premium botanical extracts blend with the natural minerals in pure 15,000-year-old Waiwera artesian water that springs from deep within the New Zealand earth. Discover for yourself the secret enchantment of exquisite Bulgarian rose oil, with the petals from thousands of handpicked roses required to make a single precious drop.
Antipodes Ananda Antioxidant Rich Gentle Toner Elements of Beauty:
Waiwera mineral water: Voted the 'World's Best Bottled Water'*, Waiwera captures this naturally mineral-rich artesian water at source – an ancient aquifer in New Zealand's North Island that is one of the most significant in the South Pacific. The water comes from deep within the earth and is blessed with a variety of beneficial minerals. Magnesium and calcium in particular are a valuable way to deliver beneficial nutrients and antioxidants to the skin's epidermal layer. Antipodes use it to address the drying signs of ageing because it makes for a powerful boost to your skin's own hydration levels, and it's perfect for even sensitive or sensitised skin conditions. * Voted 'World's Best Water' of premium bottled waters, Decanter magazine (2008).
Mamaku black fern: The distinctive curled fronds of this large black tree fern are a strong symbol of New Zealand nature. Their shape has given rise to the koru, a symbol of regeneration in Maori art and craft – just as the mamaku extract Antipodes use brings new life to skin cells. For your skin it is firming, protecting and a powerful way to generate cell growth.
Raspberry seed oil: The amazing oil from the tiny seeds of raspberries is blessed with natural UVA sun-filtration to help protect your skin from sun damage. Antipodes summer berries are organically grown and cold pressed. High levels of Vitamin A give this oil a bright orange colour, and it also boasts beneficial essential fatty acids and Omegas 3 and 6. It's a skin-repairing antioxidant and a wonderfully nourishing moisturiser.
Antipodes Ananda Antioxidant Rich Gentle Toner pure plant fragrance: Bulgarian rose.
Suitable for Vegetarians.
Size: 100ml
Aqua (Waiwera Artesian Water), aloe barbadensis (aloe vera leaf)*, cyathea medullaris (mamaku extract), gluconolactone, sodium benzoate, dehydroacetic acid, benzyl alcohol, bisobolol, althaea officinalis (marshmallow extract), rubus idaeus (raspberry extract), rosa damasca (Bulgarian rose oil)*. * Certified organic ingredient.
Although There Must Be a Better Way check ingredients on a regular audit basis, some may change unexpectedly. Please check the label before use.
Antipodes Story
Antipodes love taking the best of New Zealand nature to the world. The Antipodes range of certified organic and premium natural skincare and makeup is sold in 12 countries internationally, as well as their homeland New Zealand where it's proudly made. You'll recognise Antipodes by its distinctive green flora wallpaper design. The recyclable packaging contains bioactive New Zealand botanical ingredients and scientifically validated skin solutions. Heavenly pure plant fragrances evoke experiences in the Antipodes like waking to dew-scented air after a star-filled summer night. Developed by Wellington based founder Elizabeth Barbalich just eight years ago.
Discover the Spirit of Antipodes via the two main chapters of their story: Connect with Nature® Premium plant oils like nutrient-rich avocado oil carry potent bioactive skin-enhancing ingredients from New Zealand nature like manuka honey, harekeke flax, mamaku black fern and pohutukawa bloom. Independent government organic certification is proof of many of the products' authentic organic status, and the range is certifed safe for vegetarians by the esteemed UK Vegetarian Society. Scientifically Validated Organic Beauty™
Antipodes is pioneering an exciting new niche in skincare globally: natural formulations with scientifically validated performance. Impressive results from independent third-party in-vitro investigations prove that synthesis of collagen is significantly stimulated in human fibroblast skin cells in key Antipodes® products by at least 51%, and rising right through to 92% in top seller Avocado Pear Nourishing Night Cream.
Ethos: Green Beauty Love Nature. Those two words guide Antipodes in everything they do. Antipodes are constantly inspired by the natural beauty of their homeland New Zealand: an exotic, fresh and new world Antipodean nation. It's elemental to the substance and style of their products, so they are doing everything they can to care for it responsibly – from the full traceability of ingredients from sustainably cultivated plants to local production and recyclable packaging.
Antipodes love ingredients from Nature Antipodes believe they've found the answer to anti-ageing in New Zealand nature. Antipodes carefully select bioactive extracts from sustainably cultivated native plants to create skincare products that are scientifically and clinically shown to help promote youthful skin. And they assiduously avoid synthetic preservatives, going to considerable trouble to use natural preservative compounds instead, which are both better for you and better for the environment.
Antipodes packaging is recyclable Antipodes packaging features fully recyclable bottles and aluminum tubes, and 100% biodegradable card from sustainable forests.
Plant Ingredients Each and every premium botanical ingredient in an Antipodes skincare product earns its place. The sustainably cultivated plant extracts not only have to be certified organic or genuinely natural, but they must also be able to enhance your skin's natural health and beauty – which is how their effective beauty products achieve such extraordinary scientific validation. Bioactive extracts from New Zealand's plant species that have evolved in Antipodean isolation over millions of years go through a rigorous selection process. The extracts have natural antibacterial, anti-fungal and antioxidant-rich properties: New Zealand's world-famous manuka, totara, kowhai and mamaku black fern offer a powerhouse of nutrients to your skin. Antipodes also combs the world for potent skin-enhancing ingredients like the vibrant Himalayan goji berry, South America's wrinkle-reducing jojoba, deeply moisturising Australian macadamia nut oil and China's Reishi mushroom of immortality.
Antipodes says NO to:
* Animal testing.
* Genetically modified (GM) or genetically engineered (GE) ingredients.
* Synthetic fillers or silicon derived ingredients.
* Artificial colours or artificial fragrances.
* Sodium lauryl sulphates.
* Mineral oils.
* Petrochemicals.
* Animal ingredients (except honey and beeswax from living bees).
* Parabens; ethyl-paraben, methyl-paraben, propyl-paraben, butyl-paraben.
Antipodes Vinanza ® Antioxidants
Antioxidants are hot property for your skin: they're a daily defense mechanism in addressing signs of ageing, and they can prevent further harm by helping neutralise the free radicals that can damage your skin's surface. Antipodes introduces these four revolutionary antioxidant ingredients, using them in high-performance products for maximum anti-ageing action:
* Vinanza Grape
* Vinanza Kiwi
* Vinanza Oxifend
* Vinanza Performance Plus.
Revolutionary antioxidants from grape seeds. Because New Zealand's intense light penetrates its clear skies so strongly, the grape vines work overtime to produce antioxidants to defend against the unusually high UV levels. As a result, their grape seeds contain up to double the levels of polyphenolic antioxidant compounds compared to grape seeds grown anywhere else in the world.
This incredible antioxidant potency is captured in the powerfully anti-ageing extracts Vinanza Grape, Vinanza Oxifend and Vinanza Performance Plus.They're naturally extracted from the seeds of award-winning sauvignon blanc and pinot noir grapes from the blissfully beautiful region of Marlborough.
Revolutionary antioxidants from the superfruit kiwifruit. Kiwifruit are filled with an abundance of healthy nutrients, particularly in their skins. These nutrients, which include a mixture of phenolic antioxidants, have been shown in independent clinical trials to help improve skin's appearance by lightening skin and reducing redness, age spots and freckling.
Vinanza Kiwi and Vinanza Performance Plus are a pure and natural blend of compounds extracted from the skins of kiwifruit sustainably grown in New Zealand. The extraction process for all Vinanza antioxidants is free of chemicals, harsh solvents and dyes. Using nothing more than pure water, it's also environmentally-friendly and minimises waste.

With the general cost of living on the rise, we're all more conscious of – and thinking of ways to reduce – the price of our energy bills. Cutting your energy bills doesn't mean sitting in the freezing cold with no heating on, or missing the odd shower or bath...there are in fact a number of ways you can cut your bills around your home.
Small changes make a big difference when it comes to cutting energy within your home. And the more you change, the more energy – and money – you'll save.
Below are the top-ten money-saving tips as recommended by the Energy Saving Trust:
- Turn your thermostat down. Reducing your room temperature by 1°C could cut your heating bills by up to 10% and typically saves around £75 per year. If you have a programmer, set your heating and hot water to come on only when required rather than all the time
- Is your water too hot? Your cylinder thermostat should be set at 60°C/140°F
- Close your curtains at dusk to stop heat escaping through the windows and check for draughts around windows and doors
- Turn off the lights when you leave a room
- Turn appliances off rather than leaving them on standby. Also remember not to leave items, such as phones, laptops and tablets on charge unnecessarily
- If possible, fill up the washing machine, tumble dryer or dishwasher - one full load uses less energy than two half loads
- Only boil as much water as you need
- A dripping hot water tap wastes energy and in one week wastes enough hot water to fill half a bath, so fix leaking taps and make sure they're fully turned off!
- Use energy saving light bulbs. They last up to 10 times longer than ordinary bulbs, and using one can save you around £45 over the lifetime of the bulb
- Do a home energy check. Just answer some simple questions about your home and the Energy Saving Trust will give you a free, impartial report telling you how you can save up to £320 a year on your household energy bill
For more information about how to save energy in homes around your home – and even in the garden, visit the Energy Saving Trust website.

Pre-hospital use of sedatives
We see the community we serve as our partners in the care that we provide, and we strive to communicate openly with our community and listen to their feedback. This includes communicating all of the facts about the care we provide, including the use of sedatives.
The use of sedatives is a nationally recognized standard of care for people who are experiencing agitation in a crisis. From a medical perspective, such agitation can be life-threatening and harmful. The safety of our patients is always our top priority, and we won't compromise when it comes to ensuring that we provide the best care possible for each and every person we're asked to help – no matter what their situation.
Here are some common questions and answers about the report, the use of ketamine as a sedative, and a study on the effects of sedatives by Hennepin Healthcare researchers.

Cannabinoids have been used for medical treatment for years now, and more and more physicians have realized the number of benefits medical cannabis provides their patients who may be suffering from certain medical conditions and their resulting symptoms. Some of these medical benefits that cannabis provides include:
In 2010, researchers at Harvard Medical School suggested that some of the drug's benefits may actually be able to reduce anxiety, and their results weren't unfounded. Cannabis contains ingredients that can help reduce anxiety at the cellular level; many scientists have discovered that these ingredients have been proven to act on nerve cells with a sedative effective, dampening anxiety and providing relief to sufferers.
According to a study in 2012, cannabis does not impair lung function like tobacco products; in fact, it may reverse the carcinogenic effects tobacco causes in the lungs! During this study, researchers tested the lung function of over 5,000 young adults over the course of 20 years. They found that those who smoked tobacco lost lung function over time, while those who used cannabis had actually shown an increase in lung capacity.
Based on a 2003 study, researchers found that providing cannabis to epileptic rats helped rid them of seizures for at least 10 hours. This finding has revealed that active ingredients in cannabis, such as THC, can help control seizures by binding to the brain cells that help control excitability. To go even further, cannabidiol has been proven to help treat a significant seizure disorder known as Dravet's Syndrome.
Cannabis is considered an ideal medication to help treat symptoms caused by medical conditions such as Lupus, Glaucoma, arthritis, and even some forms of cancer! Cannabis provides even more medical benefits besides those listed above, and maybe even additional benefits scientists have not yet found. Doctors and other physicians have begun to recognize these advantages, and so have their patients! Want to provide your patients these same benefits with medical cannabis? Give us a call today!

Pointless shock as Alexander Armstrong BREAKS DOWN when confronted by THIS familiar face
POINTLESS host Alexander Armstrong stunned viewers last night as he broke down during the BBC game show.
The lovable host was overcome with emotion when he was faced with contestant Catherine, who revealed she was among the lucky few who were in the studio audience for the very first episode.
"This is extraordinary," beamed Alexander. "Catherine you were in the audience for the very first Pointless.
"We used to have five pairs on Pointless, didn't we?"
The 47-year-old choked up as he looked back at the extraordinary success of the hit quiz phenomenon which is now in its 16th series.

This is extraordinary
But when Richard Osman reminded his co-presenter that Pointless used to "be at the BBC building", his remark pushed Alexander over the edge.
Thankfully, he managed to pull himself together but the ordeal left the four teams of pairs a little perplexed.
The sob-fest comes after Alexander and Richard stunned audiences as they began talking dirty to each other before the watershed.

Pointless recently celebrated its 1000th episode and saw Alexander Armstrong and Richard Osman switch jobs for one night only.
Though, the viewers at home were left feeling a little uneasy by the role reversal and called for Alexander to return to his rightful place.
Pointless airs weekdays at 5.15pm on BBC One.

On February 27, 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court resolved a circuit split under the Bankruptcy Code and determined that where funds passed through financial institutions acting as payment conduits, where the ultimate transfer sought to be avoided was not the type of transaction protected by the safe harbor provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the safe harbor provisions of Bankruptcy Code Section 546(e), shielding transfers through financial institutions from avoidance actions by bankruptcy trustees, was inapplicable.
The Supreme Court found that prior circuit decisions applying the safe harbor simply because financial institutions were intermediaries in the transfer is not consistent with the language or intent of the safe harbor provisions.Background
In Merit Management Group, LP v. FTI Consulting, Inc.,[1] the Supreme Court examined the sections of the Bankruptcy Code that allow trustees in bankruptcy (which can include a debtor in possession) to set aside and recover certain pre-petition transfers to third parties for the benefit of the bankruptcy estate. Specifically, the Merit case presented a question under Section 548(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, which provides that a trustee may avoid fraudulent transfers "of an interest of the debtor in property." [2] Section 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code sets out limits on the exercise of the avoidance power and states that the bankruptcy trustee "may not avoid a transfer that is a margin payment . . . or settlement payment . . . made by or to (or for the benefit of) a commodity broker, forward contract merchant, stockbroker, financial institution, financial participant, or securities clearing agency . . . in connection with a securities contract." 11 U.S.C. Section 546(e).
For decades, courts have split over the issue whether the Section 546(e) safe harbor provision protects transfers where a financial institution acts only as an intermediary and is not the ultimate transferee in a multi-step transaction. The Seventh and Eleventh Circuits have long held that financial institutions must be more than an intermediary and must have some beneficial interest in the transfer, in order to shield the transfer under the safe harbor provisions. Meanwhile, the majority position held in the Second, Third, Sixth, Eighth and Tenth Circuits has been that the presence of a financial institution at any point in the transfer creates protection from the clawback.
Case Facts
Valley View Downs, LP ("Valley View"), a racetrack company, agreed to purchase all of the stock of its competitor company Bedford Downs Management Corp. ("Bedford Downs") for $55 million as part of a larger $850 million transaction. Valley View arranged for the Cayman Islands branch of Credit Suisse to wire $55 million to third-party escrow agent Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania. The shareholders of Bedford Downs, including petitioner Merit Management Group, LP ("Merit"), also deposited their stock certificates into escrow. Citizens Bank disbursed the $55 million over two installments according to the agreement, of which petitioner Merit received approximately $16.5 million from the sale of its Bedford Downs stock to Valley View.
Valley View was unable to obtain a gaming license and ultimately filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy along with its parent company, Centaur, LLC. FTI Consulting, Inc., the respondent, was appointed as trustee of the Centaur litigation trust. FTI sought to avoid the $16.5 million transfer from Valley View to Merit for the sale of Bedford Downs' stock, arguing that it was constructively fraudulent under §548(a)(1)(B) because Valley View was insolvent at the time it purchased the stock, and had significantly overpaid. Merit argued that the §546(e) safe harbor barred FTI from avoiding the transfer because it was a "settlement payment . . . made by or to (or for the benefit of)" two "financial institutions," specifically Credit Suisse and Citizens Bank. Both the Bankruptcy Court and District Court agreed with Merit holding that the transfer qualified under the safe harbor provision because the financial institutions transferred or received funds in connection with a "settlement payment" or "securities contract,"[3] but the Seventh Circuit reversed the lower courts' decision and held that §546(e) did not protect transfers in which financial institutions served as mere conduits or intermediaries with no beneficial interest in the transaction.[4]
Opinion and Conclusion
In a unanimous opinion delivered by Justice Sotomayor, the Supreme Court affirmed the Seventh Circuit's decision, refusing to broaden the safe harbor provision of Section 546(e) to protect a purchase of securities outside of the scope of the securities industry participants protected by Congress, notwithstanding the participation of financial institutions in the transaction as "mere conduits".
After reviewing the plain language of the statute and the Congressional history, the Court concluded that the "relevant transfer for purposes of the § 546(e) safe harbor is the same transfer that the trustee seeks to avoid pursuant to its substantive avoiding powers," meaning the "overarching transfer" from Valley View to Merit, not the component parts of the transfer that included transactions to and from financial institutions. Id. at *12.
This decision means that the use of financial institutions as a conduit or intermediary will not immunize a transaction from fraudulent transfer or other avoidance risk. Courts will look to the overall nature of the transaction and the identity of the ultimate participants in the transaction to determine if it is the type of transfer intended to be protected by 546(e), or one with only incidental use of financial participants. Arguably, this ruling might have a ripple down effect on the market by increasing uncertainty where transfers are paid to multiple beneficiaries through a bank or corporate trust company, in connection with transactions involving financially distressed or insolvent companies. Ultimately, the Court interprets § 546(e) narrowly as a specialized and limited safe harbor which only protects industry participants, not routine transactions that might involve securities.
The Supreme Court decision did not focus on the nature of the transaction or analyze whether the transaction at issue in the case qualifies as a transfer that is a "settlement payment" or made in connection with a "securities contract" as those terms are used in § 546(e)
[1] Merit Mgmt. Grp., LP v. FTI Consulting, Inc., No. 16-784, 2018 WL 1054879 (U.S. Feb. 27, 2018)
[2] Preferential payments, statutory liens, and other identified types of transactions are also subject to avoidance in certain circumstances.
[3] See 541 B. R. 850, 858 (ND Ill. 2015)
[4] See 830 F. 3d 690, 691 (2016)("Ultimately, we find it necessary to answer only one question: whether the section 546(e) safe harbor protects transfers that are simply conducted through financial institutions (or the other entities named in section 546(e)), where the entity is neither the debtor nor the transferee but only the conduit. We hold that it does not, and accordingly we reverse the judgment of the district court.").

Centrifugal Speed Limiter is a gadget used to gauge and manage the speed of a machine, for example, a motor. A great case is a radiating representative, otherwise called the Watt or fly-ball senator on a responding steam motor that utilizes the impact of diffusive power on turning weights driven by the machine yield shaft to direct its speed by modifying the information stream of steam. In addition, Centrifugal Speed Limiter can be utilized to constrain the best speed for vehicles, and for a few classes of a vehicle, such gadgets are a lawful prerequisite. They can typically be utilized to constrain the rotational speed of the inner burning motor or shield the motor from harm because of exorbitant rotational speed.

Abe an integer-indexed array of references to integers and
xbe an integer. If we follow the coercion rules for Algol-68 given in class (dereference the rhs sufficiently many times to obtain an appropriate type to assign to the left-hand side), thenA[x] = x;
uses the r-value of
x on the left-hand side and the l-value of
x on the right-hand side. Why? Because the index in the
array is an integer. To get that integer, we need to dereference x
(taking the r-value). However, since the value we want to store is a
reference to an integer, we do not dereference the
x on the
right-hand side and therefore use its l-value.
If you gave a similar answer (including explanation), let me know and
you'll get full credit. If you only wrote the code and didn't give an
explanation, you also got 25/25 (although I was seriously considering
giving you 20/25).
Yes, user-definable types may slow down compilation. Note, however, that the slowdown won't be in the type-checking, which should not be more complicated with additional types (in many cases, it's simply a lookup in a table), particularly if we don't allow coercion of user-definable types and use a restricted version of type equivalence.
In addition, it's important to consider why you object to a slower compiler. Note that compilation speed is just one factor in the time of program development, which also includes time for testing, debugging, and development. Since user-definable types have the capability of increasing the readability and modularity of a program, they are likely to slightly decrease writing time (as programmers won't need to continually remind themselves of the different variables they've chosen to use a compound type) and significantly decrease debugging time. Relative to these gains, the slight loss in compilation speed is not a signficant factor.
You are correct that it will be more complicated to build the compiler. However, that is only of concern to implementers. If you are an implementer of the language, you might want to consider some of the advantages you encounter from user-definable types. First, such types are popular, so you increase the salability of your compiler. More importantly, user-definable types give you (the compiler writer) some control over how data are organized within the type, so you can potentially provide more efficient implementations. I realize these don't necessarily ameliorate your additional costs, but you must understand that since your compiler is likely to be used by thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of programmers, a large increment in compiler complexity is often considered worthwhile even if it gives only a small benefit to programmers, because that small benefit is multiplied by thousands.
In groups of approximately four, write a testing predicate for the quicksort routine that we developed before break. Your predicate should return true if the sorting routine can sort any list of integers up to size fifteen and false if it cannot sort any such list. Your routine should be sufficiently robust that you'd be willing to stake your grade on it (that is, that any sorting routine that passes the predicate will correctly sort any list of integers of size less-than or equal to fifteen and that any sorting routine that fails the predicate will fail on at least one such list).
Turn in your predicate.
(- (+ A 4) 5) is
"multiply 3 by the result".
(+ A 4) is "subtract 5 from the result and then multiply
3 by that new result".
(lambda (x) (* 3 x))
(lambda (y) (- y 5))
((lambda (x) (* 3 x)) ((lambda (y) (- y 5)) (+ A 4)))
((read) - (read)). Which
is done first? It turns out that it's up to the implementer.
If you want the first one done first, you could write
((lambda (first) ((lambda (second) (- first second)) (read))) (read))
You should work on this exercise in groups of approximately four. Turn in a sheet with your answers.
As you may know, one of the criticisms of recursive program design is that it is "inefficient" because of the space required for stack frames and the time required to add and remove those stack frames. One solution to this problem is to use tail-recursive functions in which "nothing" is done with the result of the recursive call (other than returning it). With such functions, it is possible to replace the contents of the stack frame (updating any parameters with their new values) rather than to create a new stack frame.
Consider the factorial function, typically written as
(define (fact n) (if (= n 0) 1 (* n (fact (- n 1)))))
One way to make this tail-recursive is to define a helper function that
takes a second accumulator as a parameter and have that accumulator
accumulate the multiplication of
n*(n-1)*(n-2)*.... Such
a function might look like
(define (tr-fact n) (tr-fact-helper n 1)) (define (tr-fact-helper n acc) (if (= n 0) acc (tr-fact-helper (- n 1) (* n acc))))
There are a few problems with this strategy. First, it is not sufficiently general (not all recursive functions can use a numerical accumulator). Second, it does not do the operations in the same order (the original version multiplied 1*1*2*3*...*n. This multiplies 1*n*(n-1)*...1.).
To develop a more general strategy for making recursive functions tail-recursive, we can rely on continuations. Rather than passing an accumulator in each recursive call, we'll instead pass a continuation that describes what to do with the result. Here's a sketch
(define (cfact n) (cfact-helper n (lambda (x) x))) (define (cfact-helper n cont) (if (= n 0) (cont 1) (cfact-helper (- n 1) ???)))
Your goal is to figure out what to plug in for the
???. How can you do so? You might first
determine what happens when you call
(cfact 0). Next,
consider what you know about continuations. For example, in the
original definition of factorial, if the continuation for
5) is C, what is the continuation for
Use your answer to that question to help you fill in the question marks.
Test your answer in the Scheme interpreter.
Run the new, continuation-based
(cfact 3) by hand to see
what happens. What do you observe?
Can you use this strategy for other common recursive functions? Why or why not?

Italian jeweller Bulgari has added marble to the materials used in its signature B.zero1 collection, truly setting in stone the key elements of its style. Following in the footsteps of Italian masters such as Michelangelo and Donatello before them, the craftsmen at Bulgari have used marble to add another dimension to the already sensational B.zero1 collection of jewellery, which features pieces in ceramic and 18-carat yellow gold. The new additions have a central spiral of marble in blue, green or brown edged in 18-carat pink gold.
