Art, Science, and Soap Bubbles, According to Santiago Betancur Z
Artsy Editorial
Photographer and painter Santiago Betancur Z explores the intersection between science and abstract art in his photographic studies of bubbles, as well as producing life-size figure painting. In his photographs and video recordings, Betancur Z captures imagery of soap bubbles against dark backgrounds, showcasing the random kaleidoscopic color and light effects produced by the delicate spheres, and the chance allusions that occur in their surfaces, such as in Scream (2013), whose ghostly forms recall Edvard Munch's iconic work. In his paintings, Betancur Z has depicted amorous couples and fictional characters, such as the Count of Monte Cristo.

A star is born, and tested, on 'Game Change,' an HBO drama about Sarah Palin in the 2008 race
NEW YORK (AP) ' A certain segment of the U.S. population will presumably shun "Game Change."
As a warts-and-all portrayal of the 2008 campaign of GOP presidential candidate John McCain and his vice presidential running mate, Sarah Palin, this HBO film (premiering Saturday at 9 p.m. EST) has raised suspicions, and hackles, among Palin loyalists. Surely its mission is to trash her, they contend.
Meanwhile, viewers from the other end of the political spectrum will tune in gleefully expecting the same thing: an evisceration of the world's most famous hockey mom.
Maybe both sides would do well to take a break from their respective partisan assumptions.
For starters, "Game Change" captures three outstanding performances. Woody Harrelson is solid in the role of Steve Schmidt, McCain's bullet-headed senior campaign strategist, who champions the idea of plucking from obscurity the charismatic Alaska governor to bolster McCain's sagging campaign, then lives to regret it.
Ed Harris is splendid as McCain, who manfully struggles but wistfully fails to keep his campaign on the high road.
And Julianne Moore does the near-impossible, inhabiting her role so flipping perfectly (as Palin might put it) that the viewer forgets Sarah Palin wasn't somehow persuaded to star in "Game Change" herself. It's a remarkable feat on Moore's part, all by itself sufficient reason to watch.
Granted, "Game Change" presents Palin in an often unflattering light. But the larger point of the film is to explore the win-at-any-cost extremes of the modern-day political scene. The film doesn't question Palin's worthiness as a candidate so much as the cynical strategy for choosing her: The campaign needs a rock star to compete with the electrifying Democratic hopeful, Barack Obama. However unprepared she is for what lies ahead, she is chosen to help put McCain in the White House, not to take over for him there if that became necessary.
In short, Palin as depicted is as much a victim as an agent of a process that wasn't so much afflicted by warts as it was downright leprous.
"It wasn't a campaign," Harrelson-as-Schmidt laments when it's all over. "It was a bad reality show."
The film was adapted from "Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime," the 2010 bestseller by political writers John Heilemann and Mark Halperin, both of whom served as the film's consultants. The book was supplemented by some two dozen interviews with campaign insiders by Danny Strong, who wrote the script. (Palin and McCain declined to speak to him.)
"This is not a partisan film," Strong said earlier this week. "It's the story of how a campaign works, and decisions that are made to win.
"I feel like we told the most multidimensional story we could possibly tell in a two-hour movie," he went on. "It's the story of what happened in the McCain-Palin campaign, and how it changed these people, and also changed the country to a certain extent. That's what we've dramatized."
Four years after "Recount," their HBO film about the disputed results of the 2000 presidential vote, "Game Change" reunites Strong (also a successful actor, with "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Mad Men" among his credits) with director Jay Roach for their newest film examining the electoral process.
"'Game Change' is intended mostly to raise questions about the way the process works," said Roach (whose directing credits also include the films "Austin Powers in Goldmember," ''Meet the Fockers" and "Dinner for Schmucks").
"How could a campaign get itself in a situation where they're having to vet a vice presidential candidate in five days, and in so much secrecy that they can't do anything like their normal interview process? And what did it feel like when the campaign started working so well" ' Palin wowed the multitudes at the Republican National Convention ' "and then how did they handle it when it started going off the rails" ' notably her disastrous interview with Katie Couric a few weeks later.
"A two-hour film can't answer a lot of questions," said Roach. "But if this film raises them, that, for me, would be a big success."
Along the way, "Game Change" shows Palin in various stages: As the instant savior of the ticket. Then, when her lack of preparation catches up with her (turns out she doesn't know why North and South Korea are separate countries, doesn't know what the Fed is, and declares that we're fighting the war in Iraq because Saddam Hussein attacked us on 9/11), she buckles under the pressure. Then, as she rebounds and clinches her star status, she lashes out at campaign operatives whom she feels are cramping her style.
The film is meant not to chronicle her flaws, but to humanize her, Roach said: "The more we looked at her, the more I empathized with her."
In the film, Moore-as-Palin is seen interviewed by ABC's Charlie Gibson as she declares that the Russians are "our next-door neighbors. And you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska."
In the next scene, Palin is stricken by video of Tina Fey impersonating her on "Saturday Night Live," chirping, "I can see Russia from my house!"
Said Roach, "It gives you a conflicted emotion: You're laughing, again, at Tina Fey's depiction of her, but then you're asked to connect with how much it might hurt her to have someone mocking her that effectively."
And what about when, in the wake of those devastating interviews, she faced Joe Biden at the vice presidential debate: "Imagine being told, 'Now we need you to debate a senator who's been in office for three decades, and deliver some sort of knockout punch that will levitate us above Obama'! I would be in a fetal position inside of a bathroom," Roach laughed, "and you'd have to kick the door down to drag me out."
McCain, of course, lost the race for the White House. But as "Game Change" reminds us, Palin emerged from the campaign stronger than anyone in the Republican camp.
In the film, she and McCain part with his voicing this sadder-but-wiser advice: "You're one of the leaders of the party now, Sarah. Don't get co-opted by Limbaugh and the other extremists. They'll destroy the party if you let them."
Flash forward nearly four years: On Super Tuesday this week, in the turmoil of the 2012 GOP primary season, the real Sarah Palin was asked by CNN if she would let her name be placed in nomination for president at the convention, assuming no candidate is decided by then.
"I wouldn't close that door," she replied.
Could a sequel to "Game Change" be in the offing?

Josh Siembida completed his first season as an assistant coach in 2015-16 after serving as a volunteer goalie coach for three seasons. He was named a full-time assistant on July 6, 2015.
Siembida helped Jeff Malcolm '13 become one of the most successful goalies in the history of Yale hockey during his first season as a volunteer coach at Yale in 2012-13. That work enabled Yale to win the 2013 national championship and get Malcolm All-Frozen Four honors.
Siembida mentored Alex Lyon '17 on the way to becoming the first-ever two-time winner of the Ken Dryden Award for the ECAC's top goalie. Lyon was also a two-time finalist for the Mike Richter Award after leading the nation in most statistical categories.
The Timmins, Ontario, native played for the USHL Waterloo Blackhawks before going to the University of North Dakota (2001-03) and then Quinnipiac University (2004-06), where he played goalie for both schools.
He began his coaching career after graduating from Quinnipiac in 2006. Siembida, who resides in Hamden, was also coaching Connecticut Yankees AAA teams, while helping develop numerous prep, college and pro players.

Newport officials targeting shooting range on site of former landfillBy MEGHAN PIERCE
Union Leader Correspondent
September 19. 2013 10:48PM
NEWPORT — The Board of Selectmen has asked the Conservation Commission to approve a move that would open the door for a shooting range proposal in town.
The Conservation Commission met this week, but tabled the discussion for an Oct. 1 public hearing, Town Manager Paul Brown said on Thursday.
Brown met with the Board of Selectmen Monday and requested the board endorse an amendment to the landfills conservation easement and the concept of a gun range at the ash landfill the town took ownership of seven years ago.
The Economic Corporation of Newport, the town's nonprofit economic development organization, acquired the 79-acre landfill property in Oct. 2006 from the now defunct New Hampshire-Vermont Solid Waste Project.
As part of the acquisition, the nonprofit became responsible, under the rules of the Department of Environmental Services, for post-closure maintenance and monitoring.
In March of 2007, the Conservation Commission accepted a conservation easement on the majority of the property.The easement expires in March 2031, but the board is now asking the Conservation Commission to approve a change to the development restrictions to allow for the construction of a gun range at the site.
After gun maker Sturm, Ruger & Co. withdrew its controversial application to construct an outdoor shooting range on Route 11 and 103, Brown approached Sturm, Ruger officials to see if they would be interested in the old ash landfill site.
"We are proposing this, which I think will be a great use of the land," Brown said Thursday. "There are some neighbors in the area," which borders Claremont."I'm not sure what the feedback from Claremont would be right now," Brown said or if the new proposed site would cause any controversy.

Jail records said Michael D. Turner struck a woman about the head and face and then stabbed her in the left chest and shoulder area.
A parolee who stabbed a woman after assaulting her in an apartment reportedly threw the bloody knife over a garage and his bloody shirt over a fence.
Michael D. Turner, 57, of Apt. 3 at 619 Dueber Ave. SW, was arrested at 9:15 p.m. Thursday in the 600 block of Dueber, Stark County Jail records said.
The woman's condition Friday was unavailable.
Jail records said Turner struck a woman about the head and face and then stabbed her in the left chest and shoulder area with a knife, leaving her lying wounded and unconscious as he left the apartment building.
When police arrived, he threw the knife over a garage in the rear of the apartment complex, the jail records said, noting that the knife landed on the other side of the garage and in a trash can.
Police said he also threw his bloody shirt, which contained the victim's blood, over a fence in the 600 block of Park Avenue SW.
Turner was arrested and jailed on charges of felonious assault, felony evidence tampering and domestic violence.
Turner was already on parole, having been released from prison about two months ago.
The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction website said he was released from prison Aug. 25 after serving time for carrying a concealed weapon, felony evidence tampering and having weapons under disability.
Stark County court records show he also went to prison in 2002 for escape and in 2005 for disrupting public services and trespassing.
He remained in the jail early Friday, held in lieu of $110,000 bond pending a hearing in Canton Municipal Court.

You can't beat a system you can't understand
Who says that humans are no longer migratory? Not so. Our crack team of researchers, the Googlamaniacs, worked for nanoseconds to reveal reams of evidence that human beings have not lost their migratory instincts. However, the reasons for migrating have changed, and confirm that we definitely live in a system we can't understand.
In days of old, people who did not have a permanent abode and traveled from place to place to find fresh pasture for their livestock were called nomads. At the beginning of winter, they went south, and in the summer, they went north, wherever the best grass was available.
The modern nomad has an entirely different story. If the space guys are watching, they have more reasons to pity the humans and just leave them alone. They know that, sooner or later, probably sooner, we will self-destruct and a new, properly programmed breed that is fit to join the intergalactic community will take our place.
Third World countries still exist where sensible migration is the norm. However, for those of us living in modern, industrialized societies, which is most of the world, the migratory rules have changed. Unfortunately, sensibilities have little to do with the human penchant for moving about for no good reason.
Last week marked the beginning of the weekly winter migration. The first snowfall of signifi- cance fell on many mountain areas and appeared to call the urban dwellers, who swarmed the highways in their SUVs, and like lemmings, made the trek north to snow clad regions. The space guys have probably been watching this yearly practice for decades. As soon as snow falls, the humans head north, but only on weekends.
Then when the snow melts and beach areas warm, the humans go in the other direction and head south, every weekend, like clockwork. The space guys have also made note of this phenomenon.
What the space guys see is falling snow that appears to send a signal to tens of thousands of humans who mostly live in areas of seasonal change, inspiring them to herd their families into station wagons, SUVs and trucks of various gas guzzling designs and head north.
Upon arrival at the snowy areas, they unpack their vehicles and cram their families and as many worldly possessions as they can carry into small buildings where they cohabitate for several days.
Occasionally, the humans come out of the little buildings, particularly during the day, and appear to frolic in the snow. At dusk, they all scurry back to their little cottages and again cram together in the limited space where they await daylight so they can come out and frolic again. When the weekend is over, they pack their families and belongings back into their vehicles and swarm the highways for the migration back to the city.
This phenomenon happens every year until the snow melts. Then, the beach areas begin to warm and the humans drop boats into the water and start the migration again. Only this time, they go south where they pack the same families into more little buildings or little boats, where they again cohabitate for the weekend. When the weekend is over, they again scurry back to the city where they work hard all week long as if preparing for the next weekly migration.
A few of the humans move way south in the winter, where the weather is warm and pleasant. Once they arrive, they stay for several months until the season ends. When summer arrives, they go north where the weather is more moderate and comfortable. They also live in bigger dwellings, and seem to live a less frantic life than the weekly migrants. The space guys think the seasonal migrants might represent a more refined breed of human, because they live more sensibly.
They also think the weekly migrants might be susceptible to ritual because they are breeders, and humans who breed seem to be prone to more questionable behavior than those who do not. The space guys think the weekly migrants are probably participating in ceremony that is mandatory for all breeding humans, because they bring their offspring with them, and then congregate in herds for social interaction before making the frustrating drive back to the city.
The space guys probably try to make sense of human behavior by analyzing what they see. Unfortunately, the only conclusion they can make is that we live in a system they can't understand.

West Brom boss Steve Clarke has revealed that Steven Reid played 45 minutes against Arsenal with a broken leg.
The former Blackburn midfielder fractured his fibula during the 2-0 defeat at the Emirates Stadium on December 8, with Reid conceding a contested penalty after he was adjudged to have fouled Santi Cazorla.
Reid returned to the Baggies side as a substitute during the FA Cup third-round replay defeat by QPR on Tuesday and manager Steve Clarke has hailed Reid's mentality.
West Brom are 7/1 to beat Aston Villa 2-1 with bet365
"We didn't release the injury but it was a fractured fibula he got against Arsenal."
Reid has had doubts raised over his desire to overcome injury setbacks in the past, and Clarke was keen to reveal the news in an attempt to dispel any false rumours.
"I've put it out there because I want people to see the character of the boy," he added.
"Sometimes people think 'Steven is always injured' but he has an incredible strong mental strength and he wants to play."
The defender has suffered an injury-plagued season, only being able to make six appearances following three months on the sidelines with a hamstring problem.

Good transaction. Timely delivery
Pricing was very nice and products are very good quality. Packing was outstanding and the shipping was FAST. Most importantly for me (I live in Hawaii), shipping charges were the best I've ever seen! No inordinately high charges because I don't live in the Continental USA. Communication from the service department was also exceptional, letting me know that a part was not in stock and that I would be credited the amount back to my CC. All in all, an outstanding buying experience!

Looking for a new suit? There's plenty out there, with prices for every budget. But have you ever though about going to a tailor? In my book, there are many reasons to choose one above your local department store – but here's my top five.
Top five Roy of the Rovers football shirts
1. The 1970s Edition. There's nothing like seeing a Melchester Rovers strip to bring back memories of a time when a footballer could get kidnapped, shot, have his foot amputated after a helicopter crash and STILL crack in a hat trick every week. Okay, maybe not after the amputation. Anyway, this 1970s Melchester kit remains the definitive edition, in Brandish's …
Alpha Industries navy pea coat
Every day this week, I'll be featuring some of the best winter coats in the stores, in a variety of styles and hopefully, with something to suit all pockets. First up is a classic that dates back to 1959 – the Alpha Industries pea coat.
Top five stylish cardigans for winter
Once the preserve of pensioners and geography teachers (with added leather patches), the cardigan is making a comeback, with the shops full of this "must have" winter fashion essential. But which one should you buy? Here's my pick of the best – with a choice to suit most pockets.
Peter Werth knitted cardigan
This killer retro cardigan from Peter Werth is a must have for your autumn/ winter wardrobe. Most cardigans are clunky and make you look like a geography teacher, but this smart knitted cardigan with buttoned front and small pockets has great little features like epaulettes on the shoulder with cool stitching on the seam. You could get away with wearing …
Paul Smith boater scarf
With cold weather upon us, it's time to put your Birkenstocks away, and pull out the woolens. With bloke's accessorising properly these days, you'll no doubt want a nice scarf to live up to your nice coat, and one place to look is Paul Smith's fine range of English boater scarves. Naturally you don't have to wear a straw boater …
DJ sets world record for T-shirt wearing
155 t-shirts to be precise, put on over the course of four hours by Matt McAllister, a DJ on Californian talk-radio station 99.9 KTYD. Watch until the end, when he's obviously struggling to keep a straight face.
Five t-shirts we like right now
5 'DRINK WATER' BY AIRSIDESensible advice for your chest. Designed by Ian Stevenson for Airside. BUY IT
SeventySeven Bass Beats sweat
Despite the admirable efforts of global warming to extend summer into October, we have to face facts – autumn is upon us, which means it's time to think about wearing more than the summer uniform of t-shirt, shorts and flip-flops. We recommend that you start with a cosy hooded sweatshirt, specifically UK label SeventySeven's Bass Beats sweat, which features a …
Steal Music T-shirt
Shotdeadinthehead, an ethical British t-shirt company with a twisted sense of humour, produce tees for Holy Moly and Pop Justice. They also do their own range of slogan t-shirts, including this rather splendid 'Steal Music' number. BUY IT
Newurban tweed trilbies
What would Pete Doherty wear if he was going on a shooting weekend in the country? His trilbies are smart and ultra-fashionable, but they're lacking that aristocratic je-ne-sais-quoi. However, headwear e-tailer Newurban appears to have the answer with its smart new range of tweed trilby hats. Well, almost. They're warm and comfortable, cost £40 each, and come in four colours: …
5 VANS OLD-SKOOLClassic skate shoe from a classic skate-shoe brand. The clean lines of the Old-Skool make a refreshing change from most modern trainers, which are overdesigned and laden with pointless tech gimmicks. And you don't have to be a skater to get away with wearing these, although it helps. BUY IT
Replica Stormtrooper outfit
Almost 30 years after prop-maker Andrew Ainsworth of Shepperton Studios created the original Stormtrooper outfit, you can now buy your own authentic, lifesize replica, including a helmet that has been made using the original moulds. Star Wars fanboys, these are the replica Stormtrooper outifts you've been looking for… and other Jedi-based puns. These armour/helmet combos, turned out once again by …

Steve Sonntag loves to hang out at Barnes and Noble.
Steve Sonntag loves to hang out at Barnes and Noble.
The retired Manteca High School teacher loves books so much, in fact, he's written three of them since retiring in 2002 after 32 years in the teaching business.
The first two are handbooks: "Teaching: The Hardest Job You'll Ever Love" and "Learning: The Hardest Job You'll Ever Love," companion pieces aimed at teachers, students and parents.
Both were published by Rowman and Littlefield, publishers specializing in college texts and professional and scholarly books.
The publishing house took a pass on Sonntag's third book, a science fiction social commentary called "The Ill-Fated Earthlings."
Had someone at Rowman and Littlefield read it, instead of sending him to self-publish as an e-book at Smashmouth.com, he or she would have discovered that fiction though it may be, it's not all that different from the two books the company did publish.
Different genre, same messages.
"Although it takes place way in the future, it deals with pertinent themes of today in terms of health, in terms of environment, in terms of just getting along better with other people," said Sonntag, long a fan of science fiction.
He infuses satire to get his points across in the story of earthlings being forced to abandon the planet after a catastrophic event. Some of them can't get off the ground when aliens arrive to rescue them, weighed down and unable to achieve liftoff because of their negativity.
The book's lessons are "to be cognizant of taking care of ourselves as individuals, to have a positive attitude, to listen to one another, take responsibility and be considerate of people and of the environment."
Without the metaphors, he tells the same story in the manuals he's written for teachers and students.
"I want people to be better to others," Sonntag said, "be better listeners, be patient, be flexible, have a positive attitude. It applies to teachers and students and families. It's hard to do. There are so many demands on everyone. Sometimes parents are too supportive of kids. There needs to be a balance. There needs to be more respect for teachers."
Communicating better is at the core of Sonntag's philosophy, whether it's dolphins, which he loves, trying to help the hapless earthlings, or a teacher trying to explain a difficult concept.
His value of that skill stems from a childhood when, as an only child, he often listened to his parents bickering in their Oakland home. They loved him, he knew, but they didn't communicate well with one another, much less with him. At age 10, he turned his hurt into his one and only short story. At 68, he's written and self-published a book that includes remnants of that short story.
The desire to effectively communicate led Sonntag to teaching more than a desire to share his love of Spanish, English, German or Latin. It was the opportunity to listen to students, let them know that what they said mattered to someone.
During his 31 years at Manteca High School, it wasn't uncommon for Sonntag's classroom door to be open to students during lunch and before and after school.
One of them enrolled in his Spanish III class with little self-esteem. He constantly encouraged her, and got her to participate in the Academic Decathlon, which he coached for 10 years. When her family was forced to move across the country, she found herself in a school district without a Spanish III class. Sonntag made arrangements with an administrator there to facilitate his long-distance teaching so she could complete the course and earn the credits.
It's the kind of effort a good teacher makes, the kind that results, years later, in being friends with countless former students on Facebook, who, now teachers themselves, invite you to share the ideas in your book with their colleagues.
Among the things the Stockton man shares on visits are little tricks of encouragement: Tell students if they all get a C-plus or better on a test, they'll have no homework for the weekend, or if they all get a B-minus or better, they'll have no homework for a week. Call the parents when they show improvement.
Motivate them, but mostly, listen to them.
Getting kids to properly conjugate verbs and memorize the letters of the alphabet wasn't his biggest priority, nor were students who got the best grades his favorites.
"I wanted to help the A and B students, but I felt more fulfilled helping out 'average' or 'below average' students," Sonntag said.
More than a decade after retiring, he continues to help students, tutoring them two days a week.
Most of his time is devoted to his family, his second wife - his first wife, the mother of his two adult daughters, died of cancer in 1997 - his stepdaughter, and his children and grandchildren. In his spare time, he relaxes with a movie or by checking out the latest offerings at the bookstore.
Or, writing something that just might end up there.

A craftsman makes the argument that bevel-up planes are easier to tune for end grain and difficult woods.
By Lonnie Bird
Pages: 44-48
From the August 2009 issue #177
Buy this issue now
I can clearly remember my first experience with bench planes. I was in high school shop class and while I was leveling a joint with coarse sandpaper wrapped around a sanding block, the instructor stepped up and leveled the joint in seemingly an instant with a bench plane. And the surface created by the plane was smooth; it didn't have the deep ugly scratches that remained from the coarse abrasive. I was so impressed with the speed and precision that I immediately went out and purchased a No. 4 bench plane for use in my shop at home.
But like many woodworkers I quickly became disappointed when I tried to put it to use. Admittedly, I didn't understand the complexities of tuning and using a plane. However, later on, after I learned to flatten the sole, sharpen, tune and use the plane, it still created occasional tear-out. A few years later woodworking tool retailers began offering thicker blades and heavy chipbreakers. So I purchased these aftermarket parts for my plane to soup it up. Its performance improved a little more, but the results still left something to be desired, especially when I used the plane on wood with even a hint of wild figure. Fortunately, today there are better options.

As long as the rule is the same for all batsman I don't think it really matters.
But does lead to some questions
If a batsman scores 99 then it gets rounded up to 100, Does he get the century bonus?
I guess the answer is no, but you see how if you round up it can be ambiguious
Yes, the answer is no. The points get rounded up, but the batsman doesn't get the 100 bonus.
Yes you can see that, but then I think people would find it more confusing with total points of say 100.34
But why do we need this confusion! Why cant we count as 95 when the batsman scores 99. The batsman will get points for the runs he scores....but rounding the points doesnt please me........
It's because it's one point for every five runs Raghav.
If someone scores 98 for example, they'd get 20 points rather than 19 points. It's more unfair in our eyes for people to get it rounded down to 95 rather than rounded up to 100.
It doesn't mean they get the 100 run bonus either, just an extra point and it's the same for all and always has been.

Similarly, finding duplicates in an array, finding missing numbers, sorting arrays are very popular. You can also expect questions from the stack, queue, array, linked list, tree, graph and hash table are most common in any data structure interview.
In this tutorial, we will see a couple of data structure questions answers from these topics. Let us know, if you have any interesting questions from data structures and algorithm, which you faced during any Java interviews.
Data Structures and Algorithm Interview Questions for Java Programmers
Question 1: How to find middle element of linked list in one pass?
Question 2: How to find if linked list has a loop ?
Question 3 : How to find 3rd element from end in a linked list in one pass?
Question 4: In an integer array, there is 1 to 100 number, out of one is duplicate, how to find?
Question 6 : How to reverse String in Java ?
Question 7: Write a Java program to sort an array using Bubble Sort algorithm?
Question 8: What is the difference between Stack and Queue data structure?
Question 9: How do you find duplicates in an array if there is more than one duplicate?
Question 10 : What is difference between Singly Linked List and Doubly Linked List data structure?
Question 11 : Write Java program to print Fibonacci series ?
Question 12: Write Java program to check if a number is a palindrome or not?
Question 13 : What is binary search tree?
Question 14 : How to reverse linked list using recursion and iteration?
Question 15: Write a Java program to implement Stack in Java?
I also suggest to look on data structure and algorithm questions on Cracking the Coding Interview book, as this book contains some good questions with proper explanation. That will certainly help you to do better on programming job interviews.
One more suggestion I have to make is whenever you get some time, just read the Introduction to Algorithm by Thomas Cormen, if you have not read already. This book is the bible of algorithm and IMHO every programmer should read this book.

'SNL' Tells the Story of Two Monster Pals
Last night's 'SNL' had a digital short that had it all. Two characters speaking in a fictional language while wearing Halloween masks. Guest host Seth Rogen being racist against monsters. A surprise celebrity cameo. Children being scared. A minor rant about the inaccuracies of 'Monsters, Inc.' We're not sure what everyone was eating before they wrote this Monster Pals sketch, but they should order from there more often.
The scene opens with two monster friends (and they're literally monsters) hanging out in a bar, where the bartender makes it clear that they're really not welcome there. When another patron (Rogen at his douchebag-iest) taunts them for being so ugly and gross, one monster decides to go get "the surgery" so he can look like a human. One week later, his monster buddy sets out to find him, but realizes that he can't tell humans apart from one another.
Of course, when he does find him, he's now James Franco. Ba dum tsh.
This sketch had us from the moment it introduced the two leads, who are literally wearing immobile rubber masks and growling and grunting all of their lines. The final punchline is pretty easy, but everything leading up to it is weird and on-point. More Monster Pals, please.

Lobbyist raises questions, Derry delays on sign rulesBy ADAM SWIFT
Union Leader Correspondent
December 09. 2012 10:42PM
DERRY - After listening to several points raised by a lobbyist for sign manufacturers, the planning board agreed to table a vote on a change in the town's sign ordinances until its Jan. 16 meeting.
But the lobbyist's presence did raise questions.
"Who is the International Sign Association and who are you here representing?" Town Administrator John Anderson asked at Wednesday's meeting. "And how do we have the privilege of having someone from Alexandria, Va., telling us about our sign ordinance in the town of Derry?"
Kenny Peskin, state and local government affairs manager for the association, said it represents sign manufacturers across the country and that he and another member attend more than 50 workshops and hearings across the country per year.
"You are a paid lobbyist, then?" Anderson asked.
Peskin said he is a lobbyist.
"But I am not compensated by anybody for coming here," he said. While there are no sign association members in Derry, Peskin said the group does represent members in New Hampshire.
Town code enforcement officer Robert Mackey said Peskin raised some issues he would like to take a closer look at before having the planning board take a final vote on the updated sign regulations.
Peskin, who was the sole person to speak on the proposed changes, said the association generally supports the town's efforts to make the sign ordinance clearer. However, Peskin said there were several revisions that could lead to legal challenges.
He said the town should allow for a substitution clause allowing business owners to put noncommercial messages, such as political signs, in place of the commercial messages.
Peskin said the town should also look at the regulation for the neighborhood commercial district, where advertising information is not allowed on business signs under the town ordinance.
"This content-based regulation could be overturned in court," said Peskin. For example, he said the wording of the ordinance could prevent doctors' offices from putting doctors' names on signs if the names were not part of the practice name.
He also pointed to the abandoned sign ordinance, which allows the town to have signs removed if a business is vacant for more than 60 days.
Mackey said he did not foresee the abandoned sign ordinance being an issue.
"It is certainly not our intent that if a business shuts down for renovation that we would consider it abandoned," he said.
Once approved by the planning board, the sign ordinance will go to the town council for final approval.

New season of "Defending Life" on EWTN premieres Oct. 18
STATEN ISLAND, NY – A new season of Priests for Life's "Defending Life" series will begin Oct. 18 on EWTN.
The show can be seen on EWTN every Thursday at 11 p.m. and every Saturday at 2:30 a.m. It also can be heard on EWTN Radio every Friday at 1 a.m., Saturday at 6:30 p.m. and Sunday at 5 a.m. (All times Eastern). The series will feature Janet Morana, Executive Director of Priests for Life, as co-host, along with Fr. Denis Wilde, OSA, and Fr. Scott Daniels, OP.
As Nov. 6, Election Day, draws near, the first three shows will have political themes. The focus of the first 30-minute episode will be on how voters should evaluate candidates for office. The second show will take a look at how much a president's pro-life views influence policy. The third will illustrate how every vote counts, particularly in a close election.
Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, said, "In elections, it is not the candidate who is right on the issues who necessarily wins, nor even the candidate with whom most people agree. Nor is it the candidate with the most money, nor the one who is ahead in the polls. Rather, the candidate wins who has the higher number of people actually cast their vote."

Stock volatility jumped around the world, with the U.S. benchmark gauge surging the most in two months, after speculation the Federal Reserve will cut stimulus sent futures trading to an all-time high.
The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index, which tracks options on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, climbed 23 percent to 20.49 today. Europe's VStoxx Index, a gauge of Euro Stoxx 50 Index derivatives, gained 16 percent to 23.61, and Hong Kong's HSI Volatility Index, based on Hang Seng Index contracts, rose 7.7 percent to 22.72, near a one-year high. About 218,000 futures tracking the U.S. VIX changed hands each day on average in June, 49 percent more than the previous month, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
U.S. stocks dropped, with the S&P 500 down more than 3.8 percent since June 18, after Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said the central bank may "moderate" its pace of bond purchases later this year as economic risks subside. Equity swings are getting bigger and the Dow Jones Industrial Average has posted triple-digit moves for the past seven days, the longest streak since October 2011.
"The activism of the Fed can't go on forever and people try to be ready for it going the other way when the cracks start showing up," Justin Golden, a partner at Lake Hill Capital Management LLC, said in a phone interview yesterday. The New York-based hedge fund trades options on equity indexes and commodities. "People are anticipating a shift in the market and they are using VIX products to get in front of it."
Speculation the central bank will begin withdrawing its stimulus measures has boosted trading in an exchange-traded note tracking U.S. volatility. The iPath S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN was the third most-active ETF in the U.S. yesterday, with 86.7 million shares changing hands, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Options outstanding on the iPath VIX ETN have jumped 34 percent this year, reaching an all-time high of 3.48 million on June 13, the data show.
The S&P 500 lost 1.4 percent to 1,628.93 yesterday for the biggest drop since May 31. The VIX climbed 0.2 percent to 16.64. The two gauges move in opposite directions about 80 percent of the time.
Economic Outlook
Risks to the economic outlook and the labor market have diminished, the Federal Open Market Committee said at the conclusion of a two-day meeting yesterday, repeating that it's prepared to reduce or increase the pace of bond purchases depending on the outlook for jobs and inflation. U.S. equities and government debt extended losses after Bernanke said the central bank may begin tapering bond purchases this year if the economy continues to improve.
Fifteen of 19 participants on the FOMC expect the first rise in the federal funds rate to occur in 2015 or later, forecasts released yesterday showed. That exceeds the 14 of 19 who projected in March the first rate increase would happen after 2014.
Ramon Verastegui, a derivatives strategist at Societe Generale SA in New York, said an increase in equity volatility will follow from fluctuations in the rates market as the Fed reduces the pace of bond purchases in an improving economy.
MOVE Index
Bank of America Merrill Lynch's MOVE Index rose to a one- year high of 86.89 yesterday, up from a 2013 low of 48.87 in May. The gauge, which measures volatility based on prices of over-the-counter options on Treasuries maturing in two to 30 years, has averaged 62.2 in the past year.
"Volatility in the bond market will translate into equities and the VIX as we begin to leave QE behind us," Verastegui said by phone. "The VIX market is much more liquid so when people want to play a scenario of less monetary easing and rising rates, they drift into equity volatility."
The Fed isn't likely to make any sudden changes to its bond buying program during the next four months, according to John Manley, chief equity strategist for Wells Fargo Funds Management. The central bank repeated yesterday that it will keep buying assets "until the outlook for the labor market has improved substantially."
'More Calm'
The U.S. unemployment rate climbed to 7.6 percent in May from a four-year low, above the Fed's goal of 6.5 percent for the central bank to consider raising interest rates.
"We will see more calm," Manley, whose firm advises $222.7 billion in Wells Fargo Advantage Funds, said in a telephone interview. "It's just another example about how nervous Wall Street is about everything and it will gradually fade back to a more normal level of implied volatility."
The VIX has surged 47 percent from a six-year low in March. The volatility gauge is still 33 percent below its average from the past five years.
Traders are boosting bets that U.S. stock-market volatility will increase during the next three months, sending options prices to the highest levels in 1 1/2 years relative to six- month contracts.
Implied volatility for three-month contracts has climbed 26 percent to 14.7 from its March 14 low, according to data compiled by Bloomberg on options with an exercise price near the S&P 500. That compares with a 17 percent increase to 15.5 for six-month contracts. The ratio between the two measures reached 0.98 last week, the highest since December 2011.
"The Fed's stimulus actions have absolutely suppressed equity market volatility and a reversal of those actions is likely to increase volatility," Michael McCarty, managing partner at New York-based Differential Research LLC, said in a phone interview yesterday. "That's why people are going into the VIX and the volatility products."

Report suggests new name, academic changes for UNH ManchesterBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
January 23. 2014 10:21PM
For the consultant report► Click here to view the report.
MANCHESTER — The University of New Hampshire at Manchester should change its name, drop its associate degree programs, and emphasize internships and job-ready education, according to a consultant report released to campus faculty and staff on Thursday.
The report, dubbed "Revitalizing the College through Change," said enrollment at the Millyard campus has been essentially flat for the last five years, budgets have dipped into the red for two of those years, and decision-making takes places miles away at the University of New Hampshire in Durham.
The core recommendation in the 22-page report is for UNH-Manchester to create a "distinctive academic niche." The niche would combine a rigorous liberal arts education with "experiential learning," which means internships or other cooperative arrangements with area employers, the consultant recommends.
It even pitched a new name for the college — the College of Integrated Professional Studies — but cautioned that any rebranding would be a separate process.
"As an important step for its future, the College must select a name that will clearly identify its academic distinctiveness as opposed to its location," the report states.
The assessments and recommendations were made by the Chicago-based Huron Group, which the university hired last April and agreed to pay between $125,000 and $175,000 for the work.
It was released Thursday, the second day on the job for Michael Hickey, the former telephone company executive and newly named interim dean of the college. In an interview, Hickey said the report will serve as his job description for the next 18 months.
He said the college already emphasizes experiential learning, and much of his work will involve ramping up what the college already does. For example, many students are non-traditional and hold jobs in the community. Between 50 and 70 students hold internships currently, he said.
► Click here to view the report.
A name change won't take place immediately; it will take a while to determine if a new name is needed, Hickey said.
"That (College of Integrated Professional Studies) may not be the name. Form will follow substance," he said.
He stressed that he will run the campus on a shared-governance model with the faculty, and the faculty will be part of an implementation team that will work on the recommendations.
He also said the campus would not dislocate any associate degree student, although he noted the statewide plan calls for moving associate degree programs to the community college system.
Fifteen percent of UNH-Manchester students take associate degree programs in biological sciences, business administration and general studies.

UFC Fight Night 36 Results: Does Bellator Have a Better Product Than the UFC?
By Matt Saccaro
Fans didn't think it could get worse than UFC 169. Then they watched UFC Fight Night 36—a night of fights so horrid even the technical artistry in the main event bout between Lyoto Machida and Gegard Mousasi couldn't save it.
The negativity ran deeper than the amount of decisions on the card—which was the most common criticism. A decision doesn't necessarily equate to a bad fight. But a decision that lacks action and is fought between C and D level fighters who aren't even known by everyone at their respective gyms, let alone the fans, does equate to a bad fight.
I discussed the recent plague of decisions at length after UFC 169. I concluded that the UFC faced three issues:
1. Fighters that are so evenly matched they negate one another.
2. Fighters have become risk-averse—fearful that one loss will send their contract to the paper shredder. Removing submission and knockout of the night bonuses probably didn't help spur such fighters on to accomplish great in-cage feats.
3. The baseline quality of the average UFC fighter is far lower than it used to be. The days of elite athletes fighting in the "Super Bowl of MMA" are long gone. Welcome to the age of lowered standards; The UFC needs warm bodies to fill out a Fight Pass card in Djibouti. The term "UFC caliber" means nothing.
For the time being, the UFC seems content to ignore these problems to focus on "World Fucking Domination." They don't realize marketing what amounts to UFC-branded regional shows in other countries is losing them their fans in the United States. Just look at TUF's most recent ratings. Fans simply don't care about the UFC like they did in the halcyon days days of SpikeTV, Brock Lesnar, and PPVs that didn't hearken to boxing's age-old strategy of a good main event preceded by an army of no-names. Fans don't care because what's there to care about? The product is, to put it simply, lacking. The few remaining big names are islands in a sea of wiki-less, generic UFC fighters™.
This is the situation Bellator finds the MMA landscape in as the Viacom-0wned promotion starts its 10th season…Read More DIGG THIS

Brief SummaryRead full entry
Brief Summary
Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are small shoaling cyprinid fish. Although details of the distribution are unclear, D. rerio may be widely distributed in shallow, slow-flowing waters on the Indian subcontinent. They are most commonly encountered in shallow ponds and standing water bodies, often connected to rice cultivation. Where they are found, they tend to be among the most abundant fish species. (Spence et al. 2008 and references therein)
Danio rerio are omnivorous, feeding primarily on zooplankton and insects, although phytoplankton, filamentous algae and vascular plant material, spores and invertebrate eggs, fish scales, arachnids, detritus, sand, and mud have also been reported from gut content analyses (Spence et al. 2008 and references therein).
For many decades, D. rerio has been both a very popular aquarium fish and an important research model in several fields of biology (notably, developmental biology and toxicology). The development of D. rerio as a model organism for modern biological investigation began with the pioneering work of George Streisinger and colleagues at the University of Oregon (Streisinger et al. 1981; Briggs 2002), who recognized many of the virtues of D. rerio for research. Streisinger developed methods to produce homozygous strains by using genetically inactivated sperm, performed the first mutagenesis studies, and established that complementation methods (in which heterozygous mutant fish are paired) could be used to assign mutations to genetic complementation groups. Subsequently, the use and importance of D. rerio in biological research has exploded and diversified to the point that these fish are extremely important vertebrate models in an extraordinary array of research fields (see review by Runkwitz et al. 2011; Vascotto et al. 1997).
A number of features make D. rerio tractable for experimental manipulation. It is a small, robust fish, so large numbers can be kept easily and cheaply in the laboratory, where it breeds all year round. Females can spawn every 2 to 3 days and a single clutch may contain several hundred eggs. Generation time is short (for a vertebrate), typically 3 to 4 months, making it suitable for selection experiments. Danio rerio eggs are large relative to other fish (0.7 mm in diameter at fertilization) and optically transparent, the yolk being sequestered into a separate cell. Furthermore, fertilization is external so live embryos are accessible to manipulation and can be monitored through all developmental stages under a dissecting microscope. Development is rapid, with precursors to all major organs developing within 36 hours, and larvae display food-seeking and active avoidance behaviors within five days after fertilization, i.e., 2 to 3 days after hatching. Mutagenesis screens have now generated many thousands of mutations and have led to the identification of hundreds of genes controlling vertebrate development (Rinkwitz et al. 2011 report that as of their writing there was information on embryonic and larval expression of over 12,000 genes and just under 1000 mutant phenotypes). (Spence et al. 2008 and references therein) The D. rerio genome has now been largely sequenced (see http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Projects/D_rerio/), making it an even more valuable research organism. Although D. rerio is extremely well studied as a lab organism, the ecology and behavior of these fish in the wild has been far less well studied.

Forget everything you thought you knew about America's early days-history packs a punch in this full-color, two-fisted, edge-of-your-seat adventure! Graphic novels are a revolution in literature, and The Sons of Liberty is a graphic novel like no other. Visual and visceral, fusing historical fiction and superhero action, this is a tale with broad appeal-for younger readers who enjoy an exciting war story, for teenagers asking hard questions about American history, for adult fans of comic books, for anyone seeking stories of African American interest, and for reluctant readers young and old. In Colonial America, Graham and Brody are slaves on the run-until they gain extraordinary powers. At first they keep a low profile. But their mentor has another idea-one that involves the African martial art dambe . . . and masks. With its vile villains, electrifying action, and riveting suspense, The Sons of Liberty casts new light on the faces and events of pre-Revolution America, including Ben Franklin and the French and Indian War. American history has rarely been this compelling-and it's never looked this good.

Like other musicians, Alejandro Escovedo has sought to shape a career that's a mix of fame, fortune and critical acclaim, but unlike most of his peers, he has had the additional challenge of remaining alive.
Escovedo has managed to come out on top in his survival struggle, after having battled back from hepatitis C.
Alejandro Escovedo
Opening act: BettySoo
9 p.m. Friday, Stickyz Rock 'n' Roll Chicken Shack, 107 River Market Ave., Little Rock
Admission: $17 advance, $20 day of show
(501) 372-7707
He reports he's in good shape these days.
"I take care of myself and eat healthy," he says. "I believe good healthy animals and plants make healthy people."
Escovedo is looking forward to returning to Little Rock. He reckons he's played in central Arkansas four or five times, in various bands or configurations.
"This time I'll be playing guitar and am bringing Susan Voelz, who was in Poi Dog Pondering and plays violin," he says. "We played together on a tour with Shelby Lynne, and we'll be doing a sort of retrospective of my career, and I'll talk about songwriting a lot. I'll start at the beginning, about my life, my journey and how the songs accompany my life."
Born in San Antonio in 1951, Escovedo and his musical family moved to Southern California when he was 7.
"Our parents were very supportive and bought us records," Escovedo says, "and they loved all the music, too, from the late '50s and early '60s, and The Beatles."
After hanging around the likes of Buffalo Springfield and Love at nearby clubs in the Los Angeles area, he went north to San Francisco in 1975 and got in on the early days of punk rock in The Nuns (the opening act for the Sex Pistols' final show). He soon moved on to Austin, where he became a member of Rank and File, then The True Believers -- two bands that were instrumental in shaping a sound that evolved into what became a mix of Americana, roots rock, country and alternative rock.
By 1992, Escovedo had gone solo, and has since released 14 albums, the latest of which, Big Station, came out in 2012. In 2003, his hepatitis diagnosis resulted in his many friends rallying to help pay his medical bills with the release of Por Vida: A Tribute to the Songs of Alejandro Escovedo. The double-disc album included contributions from nearly 40 musicians, including Lucinda Williams, Cowboy Junkies, Jayhawks, Son Volt, M. Ward and Steve Earle.
And while Escovedo has many friends who sing his songs (or write with him, as Chuck Prophet has done recently), he also has chosen to collaborate with producers whose vision and past work he admires. His past three albums were produced by Tony Visconti, who worked with David Bowie and T Rex, while earlier albums were produced by John Cale, a founding member of The Velvet Underground, and Chris Stamey of The dB's.
Just as others have done a tribute to Escovedo, he has participated in tributes to others, including Skip Spence of Moby Grape, Doug Sahm of the Sir Douglas Quintet and the Texas Tornados.
"I'm about to do something on a tribute to Ian McLagan, who was the keyboardist in The Faces," Escovedo adds. "And I'm going to record 'I'm Not Like Everyone Else,' which was by The Kinks, but sung by Dave Davies, not his brother, Ray Davies."
An autobiography is also in the works, Escovedo says, assuming he can find someone to sort out his life and times, but first he has three weeks of touring and then some recording with Peter Buck, guitarist in the now-defunct band R.E.M.
Opening act BettySoo was a headliner a year ago at a festival held at Wildwood Park for the Arts. Also an Austin resident, she is a New Folk Winner at the Kerrville (Texas) Folk Festival and her work has been praised by the Austin American-Statesman as "exceptionally well-arranged songs, as easily equal in precision to, say, Patty Griffin or Alison Krauss."

Hello all,
I would like to start discussing the connection between the right and left hemisphere of the brain, the differences has a profound research behind the explanation (see below) - Simple terms. Although, what this translates to in other areas such as Cognitive Science & Psychology doesn't get to be the header of many articles. You can read something about it on a minor news agency or at some blog. I thought about it and now i want to discuss it.
Differences of the hemispheres:
- Left brain thinking is verbal and analytical.
- Right brain is non-verbal and intuitive, using pictures rather than words.
There are all kinds of areas within these topics and everything is welcome for discussion, I'm going to start talking about what have strucked my mind recently.
People of masses - If two large groups are polarized due to their primarily dominance in one of the hemispheres conflicts are made (Lateralization of brain function). People who settle in the middle will create a balance between the different opinions and the conflicts - Brain assymetri.
People whom have e really strong connection between the hemispheres through the Corpus callosum can clearly see & understand each side of the masses. Highly intelligent people can scale up this thinking which results in new ideas, innovation, how entities in the present will affect people in the future.
For example looking at Einsteins brain or an universal genius like Leonardo Da Vinci, they both had a thick Corpus callosum which made the hemispheres extremely well connected. What this results in is Albert Einsteins ability to be a well skilled physicist and an exceptionally good violinist.
1. What do you think in earlier years could be the reason for the hemisphere to collaborate more which results in the thicker Corpus callosum or do you think it's by nature?
2. Which other people do we have as examples which could have the more intense collateralization of the hemispheres? Elon Musk? Steve Jobs? Vinod Khosla? Nikola Tesla? David Bowie?
What I've written are only open thoughts, nothing determined or chained to a belief system, feel free to critize and conclude some own thoughts.
This is my first post on this forum, please inform me if I'd anything wrong or if something are not in line with the forums policies.

Hello Casroy21! Welcome to this forum to join in the academic communications. I'm not a Professor, and hope I could provide some suggestive opinions.
1. From your statement above " For example looking at Einsteins brain or an universal genius like Leonardo Da Vinci, they both had a thick Corpus callosum which made the hemispheres extremely well connected.", the key thing is actually to make the hemispheres connection reach a level that the neuro-signal system be more active than the that of the average normal standard, which could be indicated by a higher-density neuro-signaling network distributed in the brain and the the sulcus centralis might play an very important role in the brain functioning, because when we feel puzzled issues (I'm not referring to the present school education), we usually touch this brain area. As to research, it needs academic research experiments conducted toward this direction.
2. From my humble opinion, I thought the thick corpus callosum could be more by acquired, namely the postnatal interactions with the surrounding environment.
3. "Experience is one way to show your interest and span for the research, which has no direct links with the innovation and best practices. In my opinion, the continuing ability-based performance with interest is the key and the related recognition is important. I thought the essence of the education was the life-long learning and improvements, in which the so-called formal and regular education should be changed into the intensive and flexible learning aiming for the ability-based performances. To be a real intelligence neuroscientist or cognitive neuroscientist, you might need specialized ability-based performance and fund-included web-platform instead of a doctoral degree or post-doctoral medical background, or some professional training certificates or qualifications. "Learning and improving oneself is a life-long course. To be earnest, degrees and diplomas or occupational certificates or qualifications, even the web courses are totally not necessary to the research, even in the future. Internet, specialized e-contents and the interest for the research, including the practicing and webforum, is necessary." from one poster in this forum.
