PNS/M Ghazi (S-134), formerly known as NRP Cachalote (S165), was a diesel-electric submarine that served in the Pakistan Navy from 1975 until decommissioned in 2006. Based on the French design, she was built in Portugal with French assistance as a member of the and had served in the Portuguese Navy before being purchased by Pakistan in 1977. In the service with Pakistan Navy, she was the only ship of her Albacora class in the Submarine Command.
Originally named NRP Cachalote (S165), she was procured and transferred quickly to the Pakistan Navy by the Portuguese Navy after learning the news of Portuguese selling the submarine to private sector in December 1975.
After being sent to Toulon in France for a refit according to Pakistan Navy's specifications and standards, she was commissioned in 1977 and was renamed as Ghazi in memory of , the built in the United States in 1944. In 1991–95, she participated in the naval operations during the Somali Civil War.
In 1997-98, she was the film site of the Ghazi Shaheed, a telefilm released in 1998.
On 2 January 2006, she was decommissioned from her military service, completing 34-years of service with the Pakistan Navy.

I can understand people searching for Atlantis, or Shangri-La, El Dorado or whatever is one's favorite lost city/continent/civilization, but, c'mon Ithaca? Why search for something whose location already exists, and it is, (surprise), Ithaca.
I remember reading about the book coming out of the project to identify Homeric Ithaca with Cephalonia. The main argument for denying Ithaca's claim to be itself was that the Homeric account can't be reconciled well with the reality of the island, e.g., the idea that Ithaca is the westmost of the Ionian islands, which doesn't correspond to its real location. I always thought this was a shoddy argument. Greece has thousands of islands, and I'd bet that with the exception of locals, geography wizards or career seamen, very few people know the exact location on the map of most of them. Why would Homer, or whoever composed the Odyssey, who, most likely live in the west coast of Asia Minor, know the relative position of Ithaca or the details of its geography?
Greeks yesterday hailed a new study showing the modern-day island of Ithaca is the same as that of Homer's legendary hero Odysseus, rejecting a recent British theory that pointed to a nearby island.
British researchers last year claimed they had solved an intriguing classical puzzle, saying the kingdom of Ithaca was located on another Ionian island, further west.
«This new study shows how wrong and inaccurate the British theory is,» Ithaca councilor and former island Mayor Spyros Arsenis told Reuters of the study conducted by Greek geology professors and other scientists over eight months.
Arsenis also heads the island's Friends of Homer society.
The British study - which suggested that Homer's Ithaca was actually part of what is modern-day Cephalonia - had enraged islanders who are fiercely proud of their renowned ancestor, the wiliest of the ancient Greek writer's epic heroes.
The British team suggested that drilling showed the Paliki peninsula on Cephalonia may have once been an island and that it better matched Homer's description of the homeland which Odysseus left behind to fight in the Trojan War.
«The new Greek study shows... the geological formations could not have been formed in just 3,000 years and there is no evidence of any sea channel,» Arsenis said.
The study will be officially presented next week. The island's local council also welcomed the results.
«This study rules out once and for all the theory that the Paliki peninsula was once a separate island. It is a slap in the face for the British researchers,» it said in a statement.
Finding ancient Ithaca could rival the discoveries in the 1870s of ancient Troy on Turkey's Aegean coast and the mask of Agamemnon, who led the Greek forces against the Trojans. No one knows for certain whether Odysseus or his city really existed.
The discovery of the ruins of Troy, where Odysseus, Achilles, Paris, Menelaus and other Greek heroes did battle, has led scholars to believe there is more to Homer's tales than just legend.
Who is that in your new banner near your logo at the top of your page?
How real was the debate on this though?! Lots of times various authors always like coming up with wacky crap, like "Homer in the Baltic" or whatever.
This entire argument is redolent of public relations as anyone could recognize the potential for tourism based on the findings, the research for which as paid for by the communities themselves...and surprise! The results upheld their original claim. Gives archaeology of the classical world a worse name than before..it's right down there with finding Noah's ark. | {

Q: Get All Anchor Tags Good day!
My regular expression is really bad and I would like to ask for help on my project.
I have contents that I crawled from other sites and I would like to get all anchor tags that have this string in them.
target="_blank"
How will I accomplish this? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
A: As mentioned in the comments, regular expressions are not the answer here.
Use DOM and XPath to achieve what you want
$doc = new DOMDocument;
$doc->loadHTMLFile('http://www.example.com/some-file.html');
$xpath = new DOMXPath($doc);
$anchors = $xpath->query('//a[@target="_blank"]');
A:
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadHtml($yourCobtent);
$xpath = new DOMXpath($dom);
$yourAnchors = $xpath->query('//a[@target="_blank"]');
A: agree with @quentin, however you can use regexr, (http://gskinner.com/RegExr/), a basic regex for all anchor tags is <a.*href=["'](?<url>[^"]+[.\s]*)["'].*>(?<name>[^<]+[.\s]*)</a>

"New Guys" is the first episode of the ninth season of the American comedy television series The Office, and the show's 177th episode overall. It originally aired on NBC on September 20, 2012. The episode was written and directed by series creator Greg Daniels; this is his first writing credit for the series since the seventh season episode "Goodbye, Michael", and his first directing credit since "PDA".
The series depicts the everyday lives of office employees in the Scranton, Pennsylvania branch of the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. In this episode, two new employees (Clark Duke and Jake Lacy) are hired by the Scranton branch and cause trouble for Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson) and Jim Halpert (John Krasinski). Andy Bernard (Ed Helms) returns from manager training, hoping for revenge on Nellie Bertram (Catherine Tate). Oscar Martinez (Oscar Nunez) considers adopting Angela Lipton's (Angela Kinsey) cat. Kevin Malone (Brian Baumgartner) tries to save a turtle.
"New Guys" was the inception of several story arcs and saw the departures of Mindy Kaling as Kelly Kapoor and B. J. Novak as Ryan Howard, due to their involvement in the former's own sitcom The Mindy Project. "New Guys" received largely positive pre-release reviews from television critics. Post-release reviews were mixed; while many felt that the episode was a distinct step in the right direction for the show, others took issues with some of the comedic aspects of the episode. "New Guys" was viewed by 4.28 million viewers and received a 2.1 rating among adults between the age of 18 and 49, making it the show's lowest-rated season premiere. The episode ranked second in its timeslot and was also the highest-rated NBC series of the night.
Synopsis
Various workers in the office explain what they did over the summer: Kevin Malone (Brian Baumgartner) tried to save a turtle that he ran over, making a new shell after he cannot put the old one back together. He broke the new one as well, so made a second one, but found the turtle was already dead, likely from when he ran it over the first time. Kelly Kapoor (Mindy Kaling) moved to Ohio with her fiancé Ravi and Ryan Howard (B. J. Novak) also moved to Ohio for "unrelated reasons". Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson) made a new "energy drink" from beet run-off and also learned that he is not the biological father of Angela Lipton's (Angela Kinsey) baby. Jim (John Krasinski) and Pam Halpert (Jenna Fischer) reveal that Jim was offered an entrepreneurial sports job by an old college friend based on an idea the two had in college. Jim tells the camera that he turned it down, because the long distance would not be good for his family. Pam and Jim begin to take off their microphones and Pam makes a remark, noting that, after nine years, the cameramen should have enough footage for a documentary. One of the cameramen then addresses the two, saying that they are more interested in the developments of the office workers themselves, especially Jim and Pam, rather than the office now. Jim looks pensive when Pam tells the cameramen that they expect to live a calm, normal life, given their work and children, and that "nothing interesting is going to happen to [them] for a long, long time."
Two new employees, Clark Green (Clark Duke) and Pete Miller (Jake Lacy), who are quickly dubbed "Dwight, Jr." and "The New Jim" based solely on their respective visual similarities, are hired by the Scranton branch and cause trouble for Jim and Dwight. At first, Dwight is happy to have a protégé, acting as a fatherly figure to Clark (which disturbs Clark), but soon begins to fear that Clark is after his job. Jim, on the other hand, does not feel that he and Pete have anything in common. However, after hearing Pete discuss his future plans, Jim realizes that he used to have Pete's ambition but has become stuck at the same job for over nine years. Angela puts one of her cats, Comstock, up for adoption as her baby is allergic to it. Oscar Martinez (Oscar Nunez) initially refuses to adopt Comstock despite Angela's pleas, but agrees to adopt it after learning that it is her husband Robert's (Jack Coleman) favorite cat. It is implied that Robert and Oscar are having an affair, as Robert told Angela he was having a business dinner on the night he actually had plans with Oscar.
Andy Bernard (Ed Helms) returns from Outward Bound manager training — where he became more "decisive and confident" — hoping for revenge on Nellie Bertram (Catherine Tate) for commandeering his job during the previous spring. To do this, Andy sets up a slackline in the parking lot and makes the employees walk across it, humiliating Nellie as she insists on walking in her heels (due to disliking her feet) and fails to keep her balance (due to Andy pushing her). After Clark proves that he is talented at balancing, Dwight attempts to one-up him, but ends up failing repeatedly and hurting himself. Eventually, Dwight tries to prove his superiority by riding a bicycle across a tight-rope suspended between the roof and a telephone pole, but the printer he is using as a counterweight is not heavy enough and he ends up losing his balance and hanging from the bicycle above the parking lot, while his coworkers who were leaving look on in horror. Much to his embarrassment, he has to be rescued by a team of firefighters, while Creed Bratton (Creed Bratton) mistakenly believes the incident to be a circus act, erroneously commenting that this was "not bad for a day in the life of a dog food company." While everyone is outside crowding around Dwight, Jim calls up his old college friend and tells him that he wants to be involved in the new business deal, even though he did not have Pam's approval.
Production
On May 11, 2012, NBC renewed The Office for a ninth season and it was later announced that Greg Daniels, who had been the series showrunner from season one through five, would be returning. "New Guys" was written and directed by Daniels. This is his first writing credit for the series since the seventh season entry, "Goodbye, Michael", and his first directing credited since season seven's "PDA". This also marks the third time he has both written and directed an episode, after the first season episode "Basketball" and the fourth season opener, "Fun Run". Daniels later revealed that "New Guys" would be the inception of big season arcs. He went on the record saying "I'll tell you that the last couple of years, I don't think we did any big arc-type things in the way that we used to in the beginning, I think the thing we're going to do is bring back a lot of arcs". Jenna Fischer later stated that part of the Jim and Pam arc would be dependent on "things that happened in seasons past that didn't seem very relevant at the time and [that] they're going to become important this season."
"New Guys" featured one of the final few performances of Mindy Kaling as Kelly Kapoor, who left the series to star in her own comedy television series The Mindy Project, which was created for the Fox Broadcasting Company. Both Novak and Kaling appeared in two episodes of the season—"New Guys" and "Finale". The episode features both Clark Duke and Jake Lacy as two new Dunder Mifflin employees who have been hired to "go through the back log of over 4,000 unanswered customer complaints that" Kelly has ignored the past few years. Duke noted that filming the slack lining scene "was not that fun; it was really hard". He did, however, state that Helms was able to do it well "with no practice". The voice of the documentarian that responds to Jim is that of series director David Rogers. Rogers also voiced the same character in the penultimate episode opener "A.A.R.M.". Originally, Daniels had re-recorded the line in "New Guys", but ended up liking Rogers' voice better. He asked him to reprise the role in "A.A.R.M." to preserve continuity.
The official website of The Office included several cut scenes from "New Guys" within a week of the episode's release. In the first 40-second clip, Dwight tries to bond with Clark by discussing an article he read in Time magazine about dub-step. Clark teases Dwight for reading the magazine, something he considers for older audiences, but Dwight is oblivious. In the second 75-second clip, Toby calls a workplace bullying meeting and the office discusses how Andy has been harassing various people. Kevin declares that Angela bullies him, and states that she will not give him her cat because he killed his turtle "a few times". In the third and final 30-second clip, Jim tries to convince Dwight that the relationship Dwight shares with Clark is similar to that of Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker, characters from the popular science fiction movie franchise Star Wars.
Cultural references
Much like the sixth season starter "Gossip"—which featured parkour in the cold opening—the seventh season opener "Nepotism"—which started with a lip dub—and the eighth season premiere "The List"—which opened with a bit about planking—"New Guys" also contains a plot involving a popular Internet meme, in this case slacklining, which is a practice in balance that typically uses nylon webbing tensioned between two anchor points. When Ryan is leaving, he claims he is going to Ohio because "they call it the Silicone Prairie," a reference to Silicon Valley, a part of the San Francisco Bay Area in Northern California in the United States that is home to many of the world's largest technology corporations. Andy returns from Outward Bound, an organization that aims to foster the personal growth and social skills of participants by using challenging expeditions in the outdoors. Dwight tries to talk to Clark about the heavy metal band Slayer, noting that he has tickets for a show in ten months. Jim asks Pete if he likes the Philadelphia Phillies, but Pete mistakes his reference to mean horses.
Erik Adams of The A.V. Club compared Dwight and Clark's relationship to that of the mythical characters of King Laius and Oedipus, respectively. The story, which was later turned into a popular play Oedipus Rex by Greek writer Sophocles, tells of how Laius hears of a prophecy that his son will kill him. Fearing the prophecy, Laius abandons his son, Oedipus', who is raised in the city of Thebes. Oedipus later crosses paths with Laius and gets into a fight and, not knowing that Laius is his father, kills him. Adams argues that the "break-room conversation" Dwight and Clark share echoes the myth of Oedipus, given that it starts to make Dwight paranoid and fear that Clark is after his job.
Many reviewers noted that the episode made references to previous episodes of the series. The ending, featuring Dwight riding a bicycle on the roof, was positively compared to the third season episode "Safety Training". Adams wrote that many of the scenes "take characters to corners of the office tied to memories of episode's past", such as Oscar's phone call, which takes place in the stairwell where Dwight pumped himself up for his work review in the second season episode "Performance Review", and Pam climbing up the rooftop access ladder, which is reminiscent of Pam and Jim's first "date" in the second season episode "The Client".
Broadcast and reception
Ratings
"New Guys" originally aired on NBC on September 20, 2012. The episode was viewed by 4.28 million viewers and received a 2.1/6 percent share in the 18–49 demographic. This means that it was seen by 2.1 percent of all 18- to 49-year-olds, and 6 percent of all 18- to 49-year-olds watching television at the time of the broadcast. This marked a 46 percent drop in viewership from the season eight premiere "The List" and made it the lowest-rated premiere of The Office to air. The Office finished second in its time slot, being beaten by an episode of the Fox series Glee, which received a 2.9/8 percent rating. "New Guys", however, finished ahead of repeats of the CBS show Two and a Half Men and the ABC series Grey's Anatomy and a new episode of The CW show The Next. The Office was also the highest-rated NBC television program of the night. "New Guys" was the twenty-first most-watched show for the week of broadcast among adults aged 18–49. This marked a slight improvement from the season eight premiere, "The List", which ranked as the twenty-second. When DVR numbers were included, the episode increased its ratings up 52 percent to a 3.2, meaning it was seen by, in total, 3.2 percent of all 18- to 49-year-olds.
Reviews
Several pre-release reviews of the episode were generally positive. Bruce Miller of the Sioux City Journal gave the episode a largely positive review and noted that "If you can erase last season from your mind, you'll see this ... is exactly how The Office should have carried on after Steve Carell left." Furthermore, he praised the addition of Duke and Lacy, calling their performances "so good you could see them become the centerpiece of a new series." Verne Gay of Newsweek awarded the episode an "A−" and called the installment "very (very) funny." He was especially happy about the addition of Lacy and Duke, calling them "flashbacks to a younger Jim and Dwight." Furthermore, he noted that "the ninth and final season actually may offer completion" of a show that has just "merely offered variations on [the characters'] tics" for the past eight seasons. Bob Owen of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette called the episode "generally funnier than [the show] was last season" and wrote that the episode would be a good opportunity "for viewers who quit the [series] last year ... to come back to the show." Particularly, he was excited to "see the seeds of the show's end planted."
Entertainment Weekly writer Ken Tucker concluded that "New Guys" has "a lot more snap and vigor than most of last season's episodes." He was extremely complimentary towards the Pam and Jim story arc that was hinted at, noting that, after settling into a comfortable marriage, the show was finally trying to make them interesting again. David Silverberg of DigitalJournal.com called the entry "one of the show's best [premieres] in recent years" and concluded that the addition of Duke and Lacy "work as a better foil than Nellie and the creepy boss played by James Spader." Adams awarded the episode a "B+" and called it "a fresh start" for the series after the eighth season. Adams also complimented the show for "stop[ing] every so often to acknowledge the fans that have stuck with the series [and] also mak[ing] subtler callbacks to the show's glory days." He was also complimentary towards the fact that Duke and Lacy have not been thrown into stories of their own, rather, they "serve as parallels and stimulants to Dwight and Jim."
Nick Campbell of TV.com called the episode "a decent" and "moderately sharp" season premiere. He concluded that, "While the episode still wasn't on par with those of the show's earliest seasons, ... The episode wasn't lazy—and for The Office, that's a win." Other reviews were slightly more mixed. TV Fanatic reviewer Dan Forcella awarded the episode a three out of five, but was appreciative of the additions to the cast, as well as many of the actors story lines. Jeffrey Hyatt of Screencrave noted that the episode was similar in tone to the season eight finale, "Free Family Portrait Studio", but that "the addition of Lacy and Duke pay quick dividends as the opener provides flashes of comedy moxie, while helping wash away painful memories of last season." David Hinckley of the New York Daily News awarded the episode three stars out of five and wrote that "The deadpan goofiness remains fresh enough to keep fans interested" and that "the fact that this whole drama doesn't feel new and shiny anymore isn't anyone's fault. ... All The Office needs to do now is march out proudly random, zany and off-center." HitFix's Alan Sepinwall, however, was critical of the episode's humor, noting that it "didn't give me a lot of hope for a last-minute resurgence". Matt Roush of TV Guide wrote that the "one interesting storyline" may make him watch the remainder of Pam and Jim's story, but not "the rest of this sadly played-out workplace comedy."
Many reviews were complimentary towards the interaction Pam and Jim had with the cameramen. Silverberg called it "a nice surprise". Tucker called the sequence one of the "biggest reveals" in the episode. Sepinwall, despite being critical of the episode's humor, found the sub-plot "interesting". He called it "a character arc I've been waiting for the show to remember to do for years now, and the scenes here were promising (if not incredibly funny)".

Q: Remove rows where all variables are NA using dplyr I'm having some issues with a seemingly simple task: to remove all rows where all variables are NA using dplyr. I know it can be done using base R (Remove rows in R matrix where all data is NA and Removing empty rows of a data file in R), but I'm curious to know if there is a simple way of doing it using dplyr.
Example:
library(tidyverse)
dat <- tibble(a = c(1, 2, NA), b = c(1, NA, NA), c = c(2, NA, NA))
filter(dat, !is.na(a) | !is.na(b) | !is.na(c))
The filter call above does what I want but it's infeasible in the situation I'm facing (as there is a large number of variables). I guess one could do it by using filter_ and first creating a string with the (long) logical statement, but it seems like there should be a simpler way.
Another way is to use rowwise() and do():
na <- dat %>%
rowwise() %>%
do(tibble(na = !all(is.na(.)))) %>%
.$na
filter(dat, na)
but that does not look too nice, although it gets the job done. Other ideas?
A: Starting with dyplr 1.0, the colwise vignette gives a similar case as an example:
filter(across(everything(), ~ !is.na(.x))) #Remove rows with *any* NA
We can see it uses the same implicit "& logic" filter uses with multiple expressions. So the following minor adjustment selects all NA rows:
filter(across(everything(), ~ is.na(.x))) #Remove rows with *any* non-NA
But the question asks for the inverse set: Remove rows with all NA.
*
*We can do a simple setdiff using the previous, or
*we can use the fact that across returns a logical tibble and filter effectively does a row-wise all() (i.e. &).
Eg:
rowAny = function(x) apply(x, 1, any)
anyVar = function(fcn) rowAny(across(everything(), fcn)) #make it readable
df %<>% filter(anyVar(~ !is.na(.x))) #Remove rows with *all* NA
Or:
filterout = function(df, ...) setdiff(df, filter(df, ...))
df %<>% filterout(across(everything(), is.na)) #Remove rows with *all* NA
Or even combinine the above 2 to express the first example more directly:
df %<>% filterout(anyVar(~ is.na(.x))) #Remove rows with *any* NA
In my opinion, the tidyverse filter function would benefit from a parameter describing the 'aggregation logic'. It could default to "all" and preserve behavior, or allow "any" so we wouldn't need to write anyVar-like helper functions.
A: Since dplyr 0.7.0 new, scoped filtering verbs exists. Using filter_any you can easily filter rows with at least one non-missing column:
# dplyr 0.7.0
dat %>% filter_all(any_vars(!is.na(.)))
Using @hejseb benchmarking algorithm it appears that this solution is as efficient as f4.
UPDATE:
Since dplyr 1.0.0 the above scoped verbs are superseded. Instead the across function family was introduced, which allows to perform a function on multiple (or all) columns. Filtering rows with at least one column being not NA looks now like this:
# dplyr 1.0.0
dat %>% filter(if_any(everything(), ~ !is.na(.)))
A: The solution using dplyr 1.0 is simple and does not require helper functions, you just need to add a negation in the right place.
dat %>% filter(!across(everything(), is.na))
A: dplyr 1.0.4 introduced the if_any() and if_all() functions:
dat %>% filter(if_any(everything(), ~!is.na(.)))
or, more verbose:
dat %>% filter(if_any(everything(), purrr::negate(is.na)))
"Take dat and keep all rows where any entry is non-NA"
A: I would suggest to use the wonderful janitor package here. Janitor is very user-friendly:
janitor::remove_empty(dat, which = "rows")
A: Here's another solution that uses purrr::map_lgl() and tidyr::nest():
library(tidyverse)
dat <- tibble(a = c(1, 2, NA), b = c(1, NA, NA), c = c(2, NA, NA))
any_not_na <- function(x) {
!all(map_lgl(x, is.na))
}
dat_cleaned <- dat %>%
rownames_to_column("ID") %>%
group_by(ID) %>%
nest() %>%
filter(map_lgl(data, any_not_na)) %>%
unnest() %>%
select(-ID)
## Warning: package 'bindrcpp' was built under R version 3.4.2
dat_cleaned
## # A tibble: 2 x 3
## a b c
## <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
## 1 1. 1. 2.
## 2 2. NA NA
I doubt this approach will be able to compete with the benchmarks in @hejseb's answer, but I think it does a pretty good job at showing how the nest %>% map %>% unnest pattern works and users can run through it line-by-line to figure out what's going on.
A: Benchmarking
@DavidArenburg suggested a number of alternatives. Here's a simple benchmarking of them.
library(tidyverse)
library(microbenchmark)
n <- 100
dat <- tibble(a = rep(c(1, 2, NA), n), b = rep(c(1, 1, NA), n))
f1 <- function(dat) {
na <- dat %>%
rowwise() %>%
do(tibble(na = !all(is.na(.)))) %>%
.$na
filter(dat, na)
}
f2 <- function(dat) {
dat %>% filter(rowSums(is.na(.)) != ncol(.))
}
f3 <- function(dat) {
dat %>% filter(rowMeans(is.na(.)) < 1)
}
f4 <- function(dat) {
dat %>% filter(Reduce(`+`, lapply(., is.na)) != ncol(.))
}
f5 <- function(dat) {
dat %>% mutate(indx = row_number()) %>% gather(var, val, -indx) %>% group_by(indx) %>% filter(sum(is.na(val)) != n()) %>% spread(var, val)
}
# f1 is too slow to be included!
microbenchmark(f2 = f2(dat), f3 = f3(dat), f4 = f4(dat), f5 = f5(dat))
Using Reduce and lapply appears to be the fastest:
> microbenchmark(f2 = f2(dat), f3 = f3(dat), f4 = f4(dat), f5 = f5(dat))

Using a larger data set 107,880 x 40:

# Let every third row be NA
dat[seq(1, nrow(diamonds), 3), ] <- NA

A: You can use the function complete.cases from dplyr
using the dot (.) for specify the previous dataframe
on the chain.
library(dplyr)
df = data.frame(
x1 = c(1,2,3,NA),
x2 = c(1,2,NA,5),
x3 = c(NA,2,3,5)
)
df %>%
filter(complete.cases(.))
x1 x2 x3
1 2 2 2
A: I a neat solution what works in dplyr 1.0.1 is to use rowwise()
dat %>%
rowwise() %>%
filter(!all(is.na(across(everything())))) %>%
ungroup()
very similar to @Callum Savage 's comment on the top post but I missed it on the first pass, and without the sum()
A: (tidyverse 1.3.1)
data%>%rowwise()%>%
filter(!all(is.na(c_across(is.numeric))))
data%>%rowwise()%>%
filter(!all(is.na(c_across(starts_with("***")))))

Q: Split new-line JSON into one array I have a JSON from web server that looks like this:
{"timestamp":1642069251.6908009,"station_id":"ORBB","channel":5,"freq":131.725,"level":-28.1,"error":0,"mode":"2","label":"Q0","block_id":"8","ack":false,"tail":"A6-ANR","flight":"G90369","msgno":"S10A"}
{"timestamp":1642069257.00876,"station_id":"ORBB","channel":5,"freq":131.725,"level":-41.3,"error":0,"mode":"2","label":"Q0","block_id":"7","ack":false,"tail":"PH-HXO","flight":"HV6905","msgno":"S28A"}
{"timestamp":1642069259.057013,"station_id":"ORBB","channel":5,"freq":131.725,"level":-24.9,"error":0,"mode":"D","label":"Q0","block_id":"9","ack":false,"tail":"A6-ANR","flight":"G90369","msgno":"S11A"}
l have followed this answer but l have nothing to show in console.
l can't edit the data JSON above to deliver a valid JSON because it's coming from a data server using Ajax.
$(document).ready(() => {
$.ajax('acarsdec.json', {
type: 'GET',
//dataType: "text",
timeout: 10000,
cache: false,
}).done(function (data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
const dataasfile = `data:text/plain;base64,${btoa(data)}`;
fetch(dataasfile).then(res => res.text()).then(text => {
let jsonstr = `[${text.split('\n').join(',')}]`;
let json = JSON.parse(jsonstr);
console.log(json);
});
})
})
A: As a starting point the piece of code that you show is not valid JSON, so there is no reason trying to parse it as JSON.
If you can trust that the source is "pseudo" JSON with one object per line, you can split the text on new line (\n) and join the string again with a comma (,) and put square brackets around the string:
let jsonstr = `[${text.split('\n').join(',')}]`;
Here I use the fetch function and a data URL to mimic the AJAX request.
/***** start setup for demostration *****/
const data = `{"timestamp":1642069251.6908009,"station_id":"ORBB","channel":5,"freq":131.725,"level":-28.1,"error":0,"mode":"2","label":"Q0","block_id":"8","ack":false,"tail":"A6-ANR","flight":"G90369","msgno":"S10A"}
{"timestamp":1642069257.00876,"station_id":"ORBB","channel":5,"freq":131.725,"level":-41.3,"error":0,"mode":"2","label":"Q0","block_id":"7","ack":false,"tail":"PH-HXO","flight":"HV6905","msgno":"S28A"}
{"timestamp":1642069259.057013,"station_id":"ORBB","channel":5,"freq":131.725,"level":-24.9,"error":0,"mode":"D","label":"Q0","block_id":"9","ack":false,"tail":"A6-ANR","flight":"G90369","msgno":"S11A"}`;
const dataasfile = `data:text/plain;base64,${btoa(data)}`;
/***** end setup for demostration *****/
/* replace dataasfile with your URL to the API */
fetch(dataasfile).then(res => res.text()).then(text => {
let jsonstr = `[${text.split('\n').join(',')}]`;
let json = JSON.parse(jsonstr);
console.log(json);
});
Update
OP still having trouble parsing the string from the request. Apparently there is also a blank line in the end of the string. In the following example I added an blank line in the end of the string. I then filter the array, only accepting items in the array that are not an empty string. This line:
let jsonstr = `[${text.split('\n').filter(str => str != '').join(',')}]`;
/***** start setup for demostration *****/
const data = `{"timestamp":1642069251.6908009,"station_id":"ORBB","channel":5,"freq":131.725,"level":-28.1,"error":0,"mode":"2","label":"Q0","block_id":"8","ack":false,"tail":"A6-ANR","flight":"G90369","msgno":"S10A"}
{"timestamp":1642069257.00876,"station_id":"ORBB","channel":5,"freq":131.725,"level":-41.3,"error":0,"mode":"2","label":"Q0","block_id":"7","ack":false,"tail":"PH-HXO","flight":"HV6905","msgno":"S28A"}

`; // blank line here in the end on purpose!
const dataasfile = `data:text/plain;base64,${btoa(data)}`;
/***** end setup for demostration *****/
/* replace dataasfile with your URL to the API */
fetch(dataasfile).then(res => res.text()).then(text => {
let jsonstr = `[${text.split('\n').filter(str => str != '').join(',')}]`;
let json = JSON.parse(jsonstr);
console.log(json);

I wasn't to impressed, especially playing the game years after it was released. Its graphics are dated and the experience feels very pre-planned and steered by the developers which isn't a good thing in a game that's supposed to be about freedom of movement. Perhaps the new version of the game is better and updated.

Fast-paced landscaping and blood-pumping city chases are what make Mirror's Edge a masterpiece. No time to take a tour of the sights but still an amazingly captivating game, revealing glimpses of the story line in almost anime form.
espinozacerdag 5 years 6 months ago
Mirror's edge, is just a simple parkour but with great possibilities to give you a heart attack. Running on hundred feet buildings, you can jump and fall in every second. The story is simple too. That's the bad part of the story. You just jump.. a lot, trying to complete the missions. Only increases the difficulty of the mision. Eventhough, great graphics and a lot of light.
Gaara_1 5 years 7 months ago
Years passed but Mirrors Edge is still the best parkour game that ever existed. What makes this game so awesome is definitely the mechanics. You can hardly find another game in which you really feel as if you are actually running and not floating through the air. Moreover, there is an utterly unfriendly world around you, so what are you waiting for? It's time to run!
jacobplau 5 years 7 months ago
This game is just average to me.The excitement is there however, it doesn't really have the boost to keep me attracted to it. It doesn't have the addiction to make me really want to continue playing. Relatively well done on the graphics and the short term excitement that it brings but the lack of an actual good storyline killed it.

The city is your home... but also your dead hole. You can do whatever you want, whatever you dreamed when you was a kid, but take up the risk ! Jump, slide, run, with all the fun of the world !

First Person Platforming done right. I was cautious when I started the game for the first time, but my worries were quickly dismissed. Mirror's Edge manages to make the player feel as if they were the ones running around on rooftops. It also succeeds where other first person games have failed: when I play, I always know where my character's feet and arms are, and I don't just feel like a floating camera. Definitely worth a try.

you wake up and see the buildings and you think tha going up with your own hands is not an obstacle, if you do not think twice on extreme amusement and leave only be with flow in the momentum, this is your game, combines the story of a future of a controlling government the natural movements as a first person game make everything flow and leads to a state of of trance,the soundtrack is effective in exact moments at each stage will make you be more swift and fast and jump each hurdle and enjoy

Sergey Brin thinks Google missed the Blockchain bus
Sergey Brin, Co-founder of Google and Alphabet president has conceded that Google missed out on adopting the technology of Blockchain.
"We probably already failed to be on the bleeding edge, I'll be honest," he said expressing regret over Google missing out on the early days of blockchain. But later he added that the technology is definitely under works at Alphabet's semi-secret subsidiary Google X. The technology is supposed to be one of the main focal points of the secret research division Google X. Brin further said that he didn't know much about cryptocurrency.
"A year or two ago my son insisted that we needed to get a gaming PC," Brin said. "I told him If we get a gaming PC we have to mine cryptocurrency. So we got an ethereum miner on there and we've been making a few pennies and dollars since." He revealed that his interest piqued when he started mining Ethereum along with his son as a father-son pact before buying a gaming PC.
The blockchain revolution is believed to have a great future and can be a great disruptor in the banking and IT industry. Google, Facebook, and Apple have long monopolized the game in the industry and blockchain has the power to change this. Recently, Binance, world's busiest cryptocurrency exchange claimed that it may generate a net profit of a billion dollars in 2018. The company was founded only last year. Such is the power of cryptocurrency.
Alphabet President said, "I've tried to go through the maths myself and I haven't quite made it through. It's really mindboggling." Sergey himself tried to work out the maths behind the workings of blockchain but he found it startlingly difficult. He also finds it difficult to comprehend that cryptocurrency is so widespread across the internet. He went on explaining that Bitcoin is the proof of this. He is amazed that mathematical algorithms have such basis in blockchain that it could turn itself into a global network which people take seriously.
Google most famously is known for imposing its ban on cryptocurrency advertisements on its portal. But going by what Mr.Brin has revealed perhaps Google has changed its stance considering the huge potential blockchain has. Google is perhaps even plotting its entry into the blockchain space. Google has been at the top of the world for almost two decades sitting on a wealth of information. One can only imagine what they can do if they entered the world of blockchain with control over so much data. | {

Study Finds Parents Need More Support to Identify PTSD in Children
Study finds agreement between parents' and children's reports of children's symptoms of posttraumatic stress is no better than chance.
Shannon Peters
A new study, published in The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, investigates the presence of posttraumatic stress symptomatology in children involved in motor vehicle collisions up to 3 years after the accident. The results of the longitudinal study with data from over 100 children indicate that parents identify symptoms at much lower rates than their children, and that parental posttraumatic stress may be related to their children's symptoms.
"When people talk about PTSD they often think about soldiers returning from war zones. But children who experience traumatic events such as car accidents, assaults, and natural disasters are also at risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder," stated the lead author, Richard Meiser-Stedman from the University of East Anglia in the UK, in a recent press release.
Not much is known about the course of posttraumatic stress in young children over the long-term, especially for single-trauma events such as a motor vehicle accident. However, more attention is being paid to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in youth. This interest was bolstered by the development of an alternative algorithm that can be used to diagnose PTSD in children (PTSD-AA) and resulted in a new diagnosis in the DSM-5, preschool PTSD, which can be used to diagnose children up to age 6. As with the diagnostic criteria for PTSD in older children and adults, children must exhibit re-experiencing, avoidance, hyperarousal, and clinically significant distress in order to be diagnosed with preschool PTSD or receive a positive screening on the PTSD-AA.
The researchers identify four goals of the study: (a) gather longitudinal data on the prevalence of PTSD/PTSD-AA in children aged 2-10 after a single traumatic event, (b) better understand how parents' report of PTSD symptoms compares to the child's report, (c) identify early diagnostic markers for the development of PTSD/PTSD-AA such as acute stress disorder, and (d) identify risk factors in young children for developing PTSD/PTSD-AA.
Diagnostic interviews were conducted with parents of children who were involved in a motor vehicle accident and, if the children were 7 years or older, with the children themselves. Interviews were conducted at 2-4 weeks, 6 months, and 3 years post-accident. The researchers used diagnostic criteria for PTSD from the DSM-IV and the PTSD-AA. Information on parental posttraumatic stress symptoms related to the motor vehicle accident was also collected.
The results suggest "that a significant minority continues to present with clinically significant PTSS [posttraumatic stress symptomatology], even at this long-term follow-up assessment. Reliance on parent report alone, however, yielded very few cases, regardless of diagnostic algorithm." In fact, using parent report alone, only 2.8% of children met criteria for PTSD-AA. But, when parent and child reports were combined, 17.9% of children met criteria for PTSD-AA. The authors report that "parent-child agreement at T3 [3-year follow up] was no better than chance at the level of diagnosis."
More than twice as many children met criteria for PTSD-AA than the DSM-IV criteria for PTSD. According to the researchers, "These findings also emphasize the importance of using a developmentally appropriate tool for diagnosing PTSD in children (eg, DSM-5 preschool child PTSD)."
The researchers also report that parents' ratings of their own posttraumatic stress symptomatology at 2-4 weeks after the motor vehicle accident predicted their child's level of posttraumatic stress, even at the 3-year follow-up. The authors note that it is unclear whether children's symptoms impacted parents' posttraumatic stress, parents' reactions impacted their children's symptoms, or if there is a bidirectional effect, where parent and child reactions negatively impact each other.
The authors identify both strengths and limitations of diagnostic tools, stating, "With respect to the early identification of children at risk of a chronic reaction to a traumatic stressor, diagnostic tools (particularly child-report PTSD-AA) have some predictive ability. However, the utility of such constructs should not be overstated; there is considerable natural recovery over time, as well as some cases who met diagnostic threshold at a 3-year follow-up (T3) but who did not do so at previous assessments."
The researchers conclude that parent reports alone may be insufficient for identifying children exhibiting PTSD symptoms. They also suggest that children would benefit from interventions that provide more support to parents after their child experiences a trauma, explaining "these data speak to the need to consider trauma-exposed parent-child dyads from the outset, rather than young children in isolation."

Thats nice but any program of identifying any mental stuff in kids just puts more kids at risk for psychiatric drugging.
WoundedSoul74 November 25, 2016 at 7:31 pm
Of course kids can develop PTSD and have long term affects well into Adult hood but as soon as you start diagnosing and using the DSM it puts children at risk of even greater harm with stigmatizing labels, drugs, and cold uncaring psychiatrists.
I know because many of my issues are a result of my childhood and the mental health system only adds to the shame you already feel about yourself.
Childhood PTSD caused my alcoholism. Drank at 9 Yo before the crap and all it did was make me feel dizzy and then sick. At 13 after the crap I went though when I took a few drinks one day and I felt better, I felt ALOT better, alcohol is the best thing ever, awesome… and it began.
At 9 there were no real crappy feelings for the alcohol to negate so I did not think much of it, at 13 there was.
rebellb November 30, 2016 at 12:31 am
The psychiatric system, with its labels, suppressive drugs, institutions, other repressive "treatments", and the accompanying stigmas, won't help anything. If someone has been traumatized, pathologizing them will only add to their traumas. Psychiatry wants to pathologize everyone so they can label more and more people as being "mentally ill" and make more money off of them. People would be better off meditating or calling friends than going to shrinks. Psychiatric "treatments" are more about controlling people than helping them. The same goes for psychiatric labels.

Have you ever gotten nervous and tightened during in a gig?
It's an uncomfortable feeling. Most musicians have felt it in varying degrees.
A few butterflies can help to keep you on your toes, but too much can ruin the fun on stage.
When you are comfortably practicing your music by yourself or in a group, you may perform many actions subconsciously.
However, nerves on stage can cause you to consciously consider every individual hit, which can cause you to question everything you're playing and destroy your entire groove.
Drummers often feel that going out of tempo or not locking in with a band can ruin the performance of the entire music group. This is why drummers often feel a large amount of pressure. However, rest assured that there are techniques that will help you overcome stage fright.
Many musicians approach gigs with such perfectionism that even the slightest issue can ruin the gig in their minds.
I've lost count of how many times I've congratulated a musician after a gig, only to be given the response "I messed up part X". The truth is that audiences don't notice any difference most of the time. This is both the case for originals and cover songs.
You might have tirelessly rehearsed the same set 200 times, but the audience probably has never heard it before. Therefore, the audience could be oblivious to you changing whole sections of songs!
Try to be ok with drifting off plan a little bit.
If your band is good, then going off track can really lead to something special.
If the mistake on stage is definitely something not special, then try to forget and recover from it as quickly as possible. That's the difference between a newbie and an experienced musician.
A professional juggler once told me that even world-class performers regularly drop their clubs or juggling balls on advanced moves.
However, they professionally and gracefully recover from it!
The same mindset should be adopted for drumming.
So it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Cut the fear cycle with something so trivial. It's not the end of the world if you drop a stick. If it happens, you could even try a one-handed drum solo like a boss!
This might be an obvious one!
Logically, you should practice as much as you can to stretch your abilities. This includes honing your own technique as well as rehearsing with your band.
If you're a drummer in a cover band and you make your living by playing live gigs, you should have rehearsals at numerous times a week.
This drumming routine will increase your self-confidence and you're less likely to question yourself on stage.
Probably the greatest issue that comes from playing at different events in a cover band, i.e. playing for money, is the monetary aspect of drumming.
Namely, you get paid for your drumming, so that's not only passion, but it's a real job. This notion can dramatically change the way you perceive your live gigs.
Even when you don't have a drum kit by your side, you can do some kitless exercises, to stay in good drumming shape. The tricks shown in this video tutorial will help you practice without drums.
Even better, a practice pad can help you improve your drum chops and warm up for your gig.
I used to get panic attacks.
Good breathing can make a tremendous difference.
It relieves tension, reduces stress and helps us carry out our performances in the best way possible.
Also, your sitting position while drumming can affect your lung capacity if you don't sit properly.
The Rock Drumming Underground has delivered a useful guide on proper sitting for drummers, so you might want to learn something from them.
The right body posture at the drums will save your energy and let more air into your lungs.
Apart from proper posture, you should include some breathing exercises in your drumming sessions.
At first, you'll need to pay attention to the way you inhale/exhale air while drumming, but it will eventually become automated actions. Here you can read a valuable piece on breathing in drumming, written in 1980 by legendary Roy Burns.
You can also make your own breathing rituals before and after every gig or concert. Think about some successful gigs you've had or audiences that you liked and take deep breaths while evoking those memories.
By gradually letting your mind slip into the state of satisfaction, you'll boost the feeling of self-confidence.
In turn, all the potential negative feelings, including stage fright, will be covered with positive mental images.
One of the best ways to become more secure in your drumming is to listen to the songs from your set list over and over again.
Analyze the drum sections, but get into the music lines of all other instruments, as well.
Playing with emotion is something that counts. Invest your emotions into your drumming and you'll see that the output you deliver is much more.
Singing is another extremely practical way to improve your self-confidence and learn tracks better.
Learning the lyrics of every song you play will improve your orientation in your setlist. When you know by heart the outline of the numbers you play, it's easier to let things flow naturally.
Who knows, maybe you even start singing back vocals. Queen's Roger Taylor wasn't only one of the best rock drummers ever, but he was also an amazing vocalist. He managed to sing back vocals to Freddie Mercury.
We're less inclined to feel fear if we're familiar with our surroundings.
Sound checks before the gig can really help ease your nerves. Talking to the sound engineer can help ease your nerves, as it can help you feel like you have more support.
If possible, you should try to get familiar with every new stage on which they're going to play.
When you know what the stage and space around it look like, you can visualize your gig there. That can be useful when it comes to self-confidence.
Imagine yourself playing drums with your band inside that venue and keep telling yourself that you're going to deliver a top-notch performance. Autosuggestion is a practical way to boost your morale and improve your mental state before you get onto the stage.
Also, try to spend some time before the concert inside the space where you're going to play and get used to it.
Always make sure that you see the bass player on the stage so that you can easily communicate in case anything unexpected happens during the gig.
Certain styles of drumming (particularly rock and metal) can burn a substantial amount of calories. The results of research published on the Livestrong website show that an average drummer burns about 250 calories per hour of drumming.
Further, a rock drummer could burn up to 600 calories during a one-hour period at a concert.
Working on your physical stamina can help keep your playing performance at a high level.
If you have an unhealthy lifestyle that includes a lot of alcohol and bad sleep, your ability to play long gigs might not meet the demands of such events.
These exercises will help them improve their physical stamina, which will reduce the risk of having stage fright. If you know that your body can stand your entire gig without any problems, you'll be able to direct all your energy on the performance itself.
In addition to regular workouts, you might want to introduce a warm-up and stretching routine before your live shows. Learn more about some handy exercises in this informative video.
8) Go easy on the booze!
The rock star lifestyle comes with a lot of thoughts of drinking on stage. However, this should be avoided and alcohol should not be the answer to overcoming your nerves.
I can say from experience that you won't be at the top of your game if you're drunk on stage.
Also, getting dependant on alcohol for concerts can become a problem if your gigging diary starts to pack out!
I'm not saying that you must cut out drinking altogether when gigging, but make sure not to get too fond of drinking on stage.
When we're feeling nervous, we sometimes start to overestimate other people too much.
In these times, you should try to realize that even the top world class professionals can get nervous before playing and still put on an amazing show.
It is very natural to be afraid of putting yourself out there and performing. The more you talk to other musicians, the more you realize that you're not alone.
Just acknowledge that what you're feeling is normal can help conquer stage fright.
When changing your mindset to deal with stage fright, you should aim for lots of small improvements.
If you're taking 2 steps forward then 1 step back: You're still going in the right direction.
When you courageously take the steps forward to overcome your fears, it can be a great feeling of accomplishment.
However, even a small setback can make you feel like you're not making any progress.
If that happens, look back and think about all of the progress you have made.
Conquering this type of fear is a process that can take some time.
When you have stage fright, your brain is trying to warn you about something that's not actually a real threat. Then afterward, you can be afraid of that fear itself happening again, which comes back and makes it worse. This is our instinctive fear cycle.
As hard as it sounds, try to accept what you're feeling instead of fighting it. Keep confident that you will overcome this because with enough perseverance you WILL overcome it.
Most other musicians who are comfortable on stage were once in your position.
Stage fright can happen to anyone, which is why you should apply some techniques that will reduce the risk of developing this uncomfortable feeling.
If you practice regularly and have smooth communication with your band, you're already going to feel more comfortable at your drum throne.
Working on how to deal with anxiety personally in different areas of your life can make a big difference. Fear comes in very recognizable and curable patterns. Whereas when we feel stuck in the middle of it, we can feel like we're the only ones in the world with those symptoms.
Together with some breathing and workout exercises, you have a great combo of strategies for confident drumming performances wherever you go and whatever you play on your drums.
Finally, talk to your friends and family. It's strong to speak out, and it can be a very fast route to helping you overcome your fears.
Keep persevering and keep trying to get better, one step at a time.
Actually I have a question.
I am an intermidiate drummer.
Hi Rose, I feel your pain! Stage fright can really kill your groove. When anxiety kicks in it can tend to override everything else! Also, it forces you to second guess and really mentally process every hit, which can really kill your groove.
If you're really stuck in a rut on stage, I think it's best to get back to basics: breathe, count, and keep your playing as simple as possible (if your style of music allows!).
It's possible to practice to become a bit more resilient to interruptions (either actual or imagined ones) by training for it. If you don't practice to a metronome, then try it and count out loud while you are playing. This can really focus on your timing. Try to get a good rhythm with your breathing also while you are doing this. Try to really relax while doing this, you can try to use this as an 'anchor' that you can try to return to while on stage.
If you get into issues on stage, try to mentally go back to the exercise above. Simply focusing on these might help get you back on track.
I often play to a metronome live, although it was a lot more difficult to play when I got started… this can actually end up saving you if you go way off track. Try to focus solely on your click and gravitate around the 1st beat of the bar. It can also start to get you back on track.
Also, if you're getting very overwhelmed, try to imagine yourself floating. It sounds a bit silly but it can really work for people. If you like to swim, imagine yourself floating underwater. Focus on your breathing while doing this. It can actually significantly reduce your anxiety.
Lastly, just keeping working on it. You will probably have some setbacks along the way, but as long as your stage fright is getting slightly less-intrusive every time then you are going in the right direction. As mentioned in this article, two steps forward, one step back is still in the right direction! | {

Q: How to simplify object mapping in ES6? I am currently using the following code, to pickup some properties from action.payload and assign to object weather.
I would like to know if there is a more elegant and concise way to do the same operation in ES6.
let weather = {}
weather.name = action.payload.name
weather.country = action.payload.sys.country
weather.temperature = action.payload.main.temp
weather.temperatureMin = action.payload.main.temp_min
weather.temperatureMax = action.payload.main.temp_max
weather.weatherMain = action.payload.weather[0].main
weather.weatherDescription = action.payload.weather[0].description
weather.weatherIcon = action.payload.weather[0].icon
weather.updatedTime = new Date().toString()
weather.windDegree = action.payload.wind.deg
weather.windSpeed = action.payload.wind.speed
weather.visibility = action.payload.visibility
A: There is no particular language-level magic here. You are pulling from multiple levels of the action object, and renaming many properties on the fly. If the names were remaining constant, object destructuring and structuring assignments might solve the problem outright. But as it stands, about the greatest clarity you can get is by not duplicating so many names. E.g.:
let payload = action.payload
let weather = {
name: payload.name,
country: payload.sys.country,
temperature: payload.main.temp,
temperatureMin: payload.main.temp_min,
temperatureMax: payload.main.temp_max,
weatherMain: payload.weather[0].main,
weatherDescription: payload.weather[0].description,
weatherIcon: payload.weather[0].icon,
updatedTime: new Date().toString(),
windDegree: payload.wind.deg,
windSpeed: payload.wind.speed,
visibility: payload.visibility
}
It is certainly possible to use more ES2015 destructuring features as part of this assignment. For example:
const { payload } = action
const { main, weather, wind, sys } = payload
let weather = {
name: payload.name,
country: sys.country,
temperature: main.temp,
temperatureMin: main.temp_min,
temperatureMax: main.temp_max,
weatherMain: weather[0].main,
weatherDescription: weather[0].description,
weatherIcon: weather[0].icon,
updatedTime: new Date().toString(),
windDegree: wind.deg,
windSpeed: wind.speed,
visibility: payload.visibility
}
I do not generally recommend this further step. To my thinking, this doesn't necessarily make things clearer. At least, there are trade-offs to consider. The natural correspondence between the original object and its multiple levels of structure becomes more hidden; one needs to remember and interpret the origins of sub-objects like wind, weather, main, and sys. But on the plus side it's both more concise and more aggressive in ES2015 use. You'll have to judge whether this is better or just fancier.
A: You could do for example object destructuring, MDN. Less writing.
const { payload } = action;
let weather = {
name : payload.name,
country: payload.sys.country
...
}
you can destructure object properties even more like so:
const { payload : { name, weather, wind } } = action;
See working example:
const action = {
payload : {
name: 'John',
sys: {
country: 'USA'
},
main: {
temp_min: 0,
temp_max: 30
},
weather : [
{
main: 'test',
description: 'long description',
icon : 'icon-weather'
},
{
main: 'test2',
description: 'long description2',
icon : 'icon-weather'
}
],
wind : {
deg: 123,
speed: 123
},
visibility : 'ok',
date: new Date().toString()
}
}
const { payload : { name, weather, wind } } = action;
console.log(name, weather, wind);
A: Object destructuring can help you.
// Example action.
const action = {
payload: {
name: 'lorem',
sys: {
country: 'ipsum'
},
main: {
temp: '30',
temp_min: '15',
temp_max: '30'
},
weather: [
{
main: {
temp: '50',
temp_min: '15',
temp_max: '60'
},
description: 'lorem ipsum',
icon: 'test.ico'
}
],
wind: {
deg: '30',
speed: '180'
},
visibility: '20'
},
// ...
}
// User provided function.
const makeWeatherOriginal = (action) => {
let weather = {}
weather.name = action.payload.name
weather.country = action.payload.sys.country
weather.temperature = action.payload.main.temp
weather.temperatureMin = action.payload.main.temp_min
weather.temperatureMax = action.payload.main.temp_max
weather.weatherMain = action.payload.weather[0].main
weather.weatherDescription = action.payload.weather[0].description
weather.weatherIcon = action.payload.weather[0].icon
weather.updatedTime = new Date().toString()
weather.windDegree = action.payload.wind.deg
weather.windSpeed = action.payload.wind.speed
weather.visibility = action.payload.visibility
return weather
}
// Example function using ES2015 object destructuring.
const makeWeather = (action) => {
// Object destructuring: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Destructuring_assignment#Object_destructuring
const {
payload: {
name,
sys: {
country
},
main: {
temp,
temp_min,
temp_max
},
weather,
wind: {
deg,
speed
},
visibility
}
} = action
const computedWeather = {
name,
country,
temperature: temp,
temperatureMin: temp_min,
temperatureMax: temp_max,
weatherMain: weather[0].main,
weatherDescription: weather[0].description,
weatherIcon: weather[0].icon,
updatedTime: new Date().toString(),
windDegree: deg,
windSpeed: speed,
visibility
}
return computedWeather
}
const computedOne = makeWeather(action)
const computedTwo = makeWeatherOriginal(action)
const computedOneJson = JSON.stringify(computedOne)
const computedTwoJson = JSON.stringify(computedTwo)
if(computedOneJson === computedTwoJson) {
document.querySelector('#result').innerHTML = "Success.";
}
<div id="result">
</div>
A: If we talk about ES6, you can use Proxy to proxy through object properties.
Example for playing with it: https://jsfiddle.net/wostex/y19rz7fj/1/
Create a mapping of desired props to source props:
const mapProps = {
name: 'name',
country: 'sys.country',
temperature: 'main.temp',
temperatureMin: 'main.temp_min',
visibility: 'visibility'
}
Then define a proxy handler:
const handler = {
get: function(t, p) {
const newKey = mapProps[p];
const levels = newKey.split('.');
return (levels.length > 1)
? levels.reduce((o, c) => o[c], t)
: t[newKey]
}
}
Assuming your source object looks like this:
const source = {
name: 'Name',
sys: {
country: 'AU'
},
main: {
temp: '34',
temp_min: '13'
},
visibility: '35%'
}
You can create a proxy object like this:
const newObj = new Proxy(source, handler)
Now you can access your properties like this:
newObj.temperatureMin // returns 13 (>>source.main.temp_min)
Things to do: expand handler to deal with [] notations and handle object methods.
Full example:
const source = {
name: 'Name',
sys: {
country: 'AU'
},
main: {
temp: '34',
temp_min: '13'
},
visibility: '35%'
}
const mapProps = {
name: 'name',
country: 'sys.country',
temperature: 'main.temp',
temperatureMin: 'main.temp_min',
visibility: 'visibility'
}
const handler = {
get: function(t, p) {
const newKey = mapProps[p];
const levels = newKey.split('.');
return (levels.length > 1)
? levels.reduce((o, c) => o[c], t)
: t[newKey]
}
}
const proxy = new Proxy(source, handler)
for (let k in mapProps) {
console.log( proxy[k] )
}
A: You can use destructuring assignment as an expression, or define a function to pass the object to, to avoid declaring variables globally, return object from function.
const o = {action:
{payload:
{name:1
, sys:{country:2}
, main:{temp:3,temp_min:4, temp_max:5}
, weather:[{main:6, description:7, icon:8}]
, wind:{speed:9, deg:10}
, visibility:11}
}
};
let weather = {};
{
const w = weather;
(
{name: w.name
, sys: {country: w.country}
, main: {temp: w.temperature, temp_min: w.temperatureMin, temp_max: w.temperatureMax}
, weather: [{main: w.weatherMain, description: w.weatherDescription, icon: w.weatherIcon}]
, updateTime: w.updateTime = new Date().toString()
, wind: {deg: w.windDegree, speed: w.windSpeed}
, visibility: w.visibility
} = o.action.payload
);
}
console.log(weather);

LONDON — Andy Murray indicated Tuesday he would be prepared to miss next year's Australian Open if it meant endangering his return to full fitness from a hip injury.
The British tennis star has not played a competitive match since struggling through to the quarter-finals of this year's Wimbledon, where he was beaten by Sam Querrey of the United States.
Murray, however, is contemplating a return at the Brisbane International, which starts on December 31 and is a warm-up event for the Australian Open -- the first of the sport's four annual major championships.
But speaking ahead of an exhibition match with Roger Federer in Glasgow, the 30-year-old Scot was cautious about his prospects of regaining 100 percent fitness.
"You never know when you're coming back from any injury, but that's what I'm working towards, for sure," said Murray.
"We have to see, but I believe that will be the case.
"When I get back on the court next year and start playing again, it might not come immediately at the beginning of the year," the two-time Wimbledon champion added.
"I have been hitting the ball very well in practice - it's just that there is a difference between that 75-80 percent practice and going flat out at 100 percent for two-and-a-half or three hours on the match court.
"Until I do that I can't say for certain, but I think I'll be able to come back just fine."
Murray expects to travel to Australia after opting for a course of rest and rehabilitation rather than surgery.
"Things have been going pretty well so far in the rehab, but you just never know," he said. "I've been training for a few weeks now. Some days I've felt great and some days not so good.
"But I will come back when I'm ready and when I'm 100 percent fit. I probably made a bit of a mistake trying to get ready for the US Open but it was the last major of the year and I wanted to give it a go.
"And now it's time to give my body the rest and recovery it needs. I'll come back when I'm ready."
Federer himself enjoyed a superb 2017, winning both the Australian Open — his first Grand Slam title in five years — and Wimbledon following a long lay-off caused by a knee injury.
"Take your time, however long it takes," Federer told Murray in Glasgow.
"When you come back you want to be at 100 percent, otherwise the problem is you feel you just can't beat the best at the big tournaments, so it's wise and worthwhile to take the extra week, extra month maybe.
"I'm sure Andy is going to have a lot of years left, so he shouldn't hurry, but as a professional athlete you always want to come back as quick as possible. | {

I'm working in WeWork and there's a queue for the ping-pong table.
I know we all need to take a break at some point, but….. #PeakStartup?
I was chatting to an investor this week – he said there's even a difference between Palo Alto and San Francisco in terms of work ethic. There's *nothing* to do in Palo Alto so people work longer, smarter and harder. Even compared to SF (which is where Twitter, Uber and many others are and they're worked pretty hard).
What are people not doing when they need to form a queue for the ping-pong in a coworking space? Similarly walk into any pub in Shoreditch at 4pm and it'll be full of entrepreneurs changing the world. Good luck with that. | {

Graphic by W2 Photography / Stocksy
In 2019, we hosted many guests on the mindbodygreen podcast, sharing a wealth of knowledge to help us learn more about uniting soul with science.
While we learned something new and exciting from each one of the 76 episodes this year, we wanted to compile some of our favorite gems as we embark on a new decade. Some of our favorite themes from the year include the importance of brain health, building better relationships, finding purpose, the promise of self-healing, and the future of well-being.
On brain health & supporting our mental well-being.
Brain health was a big buzz topic this year. David Perlmutter, M.D., reminded us that diet is the most important aspect of brain health. He encouraged us to eat more healthy fats to support our brains' health, and to eat more prebiotic fiber to help fight inflammation (listen to Episode 92 on iTunes).
We also learned four key diet guidelines from Georgia Ede, M.D., all meant to help us support good mental health when the traditional Western diet fails us. We also learned that she, too, is a fan of the keto diet, having seen how it can help patients with dementia or Alzheimer's (listen to Episode 154 on iTunes).
In October, Daniel Amen, M.D., gave us three tips for training the brain to better manage anxiety. He shared with us how supplements, especially magnesium, are important for helping combat anxiety and promoting brain health (listen to Episode 150 on iTunes).
But it's not just about what we put into our bodies; brain health is about our routines and habits too. Neuroscientist Ilene Ruhoy, M.D., Ph.D., told us that bedtime isn't just for kids anymore: It's an important part of maintaining brain health for adults and kids alike (listen to Episode 152 on iTunes).
On relationships with our friends & family.
Relationships were also in the hot seat this year. Alexandra Sacks, M.D., a reproductive psychologist, joined us to discuss how the conversations around motherhood need to change and why it's important to support the new parents in your life, even if it's just by letting them know you're still there for them (listen to Episode 138 on iTunes).
For new parents thinking about their child's future, we sat down with Esther Wojcicki. Author of How To Raise Successful People (and parent of three successful children of her own), she spoke to us about why she thinks we should be treating kids more like adults: because they're more capable than we may give them credit for (listen to Episode 143 on iTunes).
In the face of all the coverage about the loneliness epidemic facing our society, we spoke to psychotherapist Lori Gottlieb about the relationship between loneliness and anxiety. She shared three of the best ways to prevent loneliness that you can do every day, like being intentional about putting away electronics when you're with family and friends (listen to Episode 115 on iTunes).
Dan Buettner, whose stories of "Blue Zones" inspired multiple New York Times bestsellers, told us the top three unexpected habits he noticed about people living in these healthy longevity hubs, and interpersonal relationships cropped us here too. In Buettner's mind, one of the most important habits embraced by people in the Blue Zones is their tight-knit, uplifting social networks (listen to Episode 157 on iTunes).
On active consciousness & identifying purpose.
We spoke to spiritual leader Deepak Chopra multiple times this year. For his second ever appearance on the mbg podcast, Deepak Chopra joined us to talk about the importance of conscious choices and the concept of mindful awareness (listen to Episode 100 on iTunes).
Later in the year, we spoke with Chopra again at our annual revitalize event in Arizona, where he explained why waking up and embracing active consciousness are so important to boosting longevity (listen to Episode 139 on iTunes).
Another repeat guest was Whole Foods Market CEO John Mackey, who we spoke to this summer about meaningful leadership. Mackey shared why it's important to be a conscious leader and how identifying and following your personal purpose can help you better lead consciously (listen to Episode 130 on iTunes).
More recently, we spoke to Ryan Holiday, author of Stillness Is The Key. Holiday shared the aspects of ancient philosophy that can help us find happiness and fulfillment in the modern world. One of his more interesting tips? That we need to learn to feel gratitude for things that we wouldn't traditionally be grateful for (listen to Episode 166 on iTunes).
On healing & listening to what our bodies need.
We also turned to ourselves in 2019 and spoke to experts about the complex and more miraculous processes of healing. Kelly Turner, Ph.D., shared stories of Radical Remission, her book, and shared how releasing suppressed emotions can help heal even physical ailments (listen to Episode 121 on iTunes).
When we spoke with Lissa Rankin, Ph.D., she echoed that same power of self-healing and explained how finding and following her "inner pilot light" and tuning into what her body needed helped her to heal (listen to Episode 111 on iTunes).
More recently we heard from someone who experienced the power of self-healing himself when we spoke with Jason Karp about how he was able to restore his fading vision by cutting out packaged food, caffeine, and alcohol, among other lifestyle changes (listen to Episode 125 on iTunes).
On the future of well-being & longevity.
We also spent much of 2019 thinking about the years to come (and you can read about how we're leaving the term "wellness" behind). We discussed strategies for living longer with the founders of Onegevity, who reminded us that challenging our bodies as we age is key to a healthier aging process (listen to Episode 117 on iTunes).
Longevity and healthy aging also came up back onstage at revitalize. We spoke to leading functional medicine experts Frank Lipman, M.D., and Robert Roundtree, M.D., who explained that smaller, more sustainable changes can do more to promote healthy aging than extreme measures (listen to Episode 131 on iTunes).
Another buzzword we encountered? Biohacking. Molly Maloof, M.D., shared her area of experience with us, making us think more about our nightly (and morning) routines. She explained how sleep can help us tune into our bodies for optimal health and how it can also be an answer for some health challenges (listen to Episode 146 on iTunes).
And while we're talking about sleep, it's a good time to reflect on the advice Chris Masterjohn, Ph.D., gave us for sleeping better. Masterjohn reminded us of the importance of good sleep hygiene—and we don't mean washing your hands before bed. It's about making sure you're getting outside and getting sunlight to help support your natural rhythm (listen to Episode 123 on iTunes).
We're excited to continue bringing important conversations about mental, physical, spiritual, and environmental well-being with industry leaders. Don't forget to subscribe to our podcast on iTunes, Google Play, or Stitcher, and sign up for our podcast newsletter!

Q: Aggregate multiple objects as an array and synchronize changes I start to use a third party <datetime-picker> component that only accept a Date[] of size 2 as its v-model (for a range of time). In my previous codebase, I maintained 2 separate Date objects, i.e. startTime and endTime, and I hope to stick with that.
// in previous codebase (class-based Vue component)
private startTime = new Date();
private endTime = new Date();
// now I must use an array due to the third-party component...
private dateTimeRange = [this.startTime, this.endTime];
Apparently the following won't work, since the reference itself in the array will be overwritten:
<datetime-picker v-model="dateTimeRange" ... />
I want a clean way to propagate changes (issued by the datetime picker component) to the array back to startTime and endTime object.
A: I would try it like this:
*
*private dateTimeRange = [new Date(), new Date()]; --> to remove the more complicated reference stuff through a "proxy" instance variable.
*Use a computed/property accessor to then receive and render both values:
private get dateRange(): NiceType {
return {start: this.dateTimeRange[0], end: this.dateTimeRange[0]}

Eyes off, screen off
If a computer screen is on, but no one is watching, it still consumes energy.
Researchers from Duke University have devised a detector that determines if a person is present and looking at a computer screen, and keeps the screen on only when it is being watched.
The key to making a practical power-saving detector was making sure that the device itself used very little energy, said Angela Dalton, a researcher at Duke University. "There had to be very low power sensors, and algorithms that could be simplified enough that the system did not use more energy in overhead than it saved," she said.
The researchers' prototype uses a wireless motion sensor and a WebCam. When the motion sensor is triggered, indicating that someone is present, the WebCam turns on and takes pictures, and the pictures are analyzed by a face detection algorithm to determine if anyone is looking at the display.
The system, dubbed FaceOff, consumes almost no power when waiting for the motion sensor to trigger, and the camera consumes between 1 and 1.5 watts when it is running, said Dalton. In an initial study, the system achieved energy savings as high as 30 percent, she said.
The system uses off-the-shelf parts, and could be optimized to consume even less power, said Dalton. Tiny cameras that can be embedded into computer systems and consume as little as 20 milliwatts, or thousandths of a watt, could further increase energy savings, according to Dalton.
Face recognition software that triggers a screen saver is available commercially as an extra in security applications that identify authorized users, but these packages don't go so far as to track gaze.
The Duke prototype "shows the feasibility of using low-power sensors to better match system input-output behavior to user behavior, and by doing so reduce overall system energy consumption," said Dalton.
With the increasing availability of cheap, low-power sensors, numerous mobile devices could use this kind of technique to reduce energy consumption and thus extend battery life, according to Dalton. Mobile devices with built-in sensors, including cameras, microphones, light sensors, and global positioning system receivers are becoming available. "Mobile devices could leverage the sensors beyond their obvious uses to determine user intention and context, and match the system behavior," she said.
The researchers' work is a twist on traditional system-level energy management, which has historically been tied to turning components off when they are not engaged. Input-output devices, however, might be needed by the user even if the computer is not carrying out a process. At the same time, computer displays account for a relatively high percentage of computer power use.
A 17-inch cathode ray tube monitor, for instance, draws between 60 and 120 watts, and even flat panel monitors draw between 15 and 25 watts.
Practical energy-saving sensor systems could be implemented in two to three years, according to Dalton.
Devices are capable of performing the necessary computation, and the types of sensors the systems will require currently are available, she said. "The main hurdle [is] user studies to determine usability, usage scenarios, and user interface requirements."
The researchers' next step is to perform a comprehensive user study to better characterize the scenarios in which the technique is useful, said Dalton. The researchers are also planning to experiment with how often to sample the users gaze, to, for example, make the system more responsive when motion is detected and decrease or halt image sampling when no motion is detected, according to Dalton. And they are planning to incorporate a light sensor into the prototype so the display brightness can be adjusted to save power.
Dalton's research colleague was Carla S. Ellis. They presented the work at the Usenix HotOS IX: 9TH Workshop on Hot Topics in Operating Systems in Lihue, Hawaii, May 18 to 21, 2003. The research was funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF).

President Trump did not commit an impeachable offense: Chaffetz
Former U.S. Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, told "Fox & Friends" on Wednesday that he doesn't believe President Trump committed an impeachable offense as Democrats push for the president's impeachment following last week's riot at the U.S. Capitol.
The Fox News contributor argued that Democrats are "setting a dangerous precedent" by pushing for impeachment, adding that it will "further divide the country."
As the House of Representatives is on the verge of impeaching Trump for the second time in less than two years, Republicans in both chambers of Congress are split on whether or not to support the effort in the tumultuous final days of the his presidency.
The House will start to debate the "rule" governing the parameters of the impeachment after 9 a.m. EST on Wednesday before taking two procedural votes. Then two hours of actual debate on impeachment will happen during the afternoon before a vote on impeachment, which will only need a simple majority.
The fissure goes from the top of Republican leadership ranks all the way down to the rank-and-file of the party's lawmakers. It represents an unraveling after the GOP remained largely united behind Trump for nearly his entire term, including during his first impeachment process.
The split among the GOP also follows months of false remarks by the president that he won the election over President-elect Joe Biden. At a National Mall rally last week before the riots, Trump continued to double down on the claims. After Trump spoke, his supporters marched down Pennsylvania Avenue before ransacking the Capitol building and forcing hundreds of lawmakers and Vice President Mike Pence to go into hiding.
Police in Washington, D.C., said the security breach at the U.S. Capitol resulted in five deaths, including a veteran who reportedly served four tours with the Air Force and a U.S. Capitol Police officer who died after suffering injuries during the riots.
HOUSE VOTES ON RESOLUTION URGING PENCE TO ACT
At least five House members have already said they will vote to impeach Trump, most notably Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., the House GOP conference chair, the third-highest ranking position among House Republicans.
Most Republicans, however, are expected to vote against impeachment, including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. In a letter to GOP colleagues this week, McCarthy said that impeaching the president would further divide the country.
Chaffetz agreed with McCarthy.
TRUMP ACKNOWLEDGED HE BEARS SOME BLAME FOR CAPITOL RIOT IN CONVERSATION WITH MCCARTHY: SOURCES
"There is nothing in that resolution which I have read that they can point to where Donald Trump invoked violence," he said. "No doubt that it was a shameful day. I didn't like it. I was a little bit frustrated with the president, but it's not an impeachable offense."
Chaffetz stressed that if Democrats "had a line in the speech from Donald Trump where he invoked violence and to break the law, they would have put it in there [the impeachment resolution], but they didn't."
Fox News' Tyler Olson, Chad Pergram, Jason Donner, Mike Emanuel, Brooke Singman and Kelly Phares contributed to this report.

Seeing the recent blog by Van Alst reminded me how low tech process versioning is. As he points out, it requires careful implementation of the processes, to avoid having long running process instances that may cause difficulties when trying to upgrade either the business process, or the infrastructure on which that process is running.
His suggested approach is to implement those BPEL processes, that would normally be long running, as event/message driven processes that can optionally utilise short running BPEL processes. However the disadvantage is the complexity that may be introduced to accommodate the potentially large number of business process versions that need to be supported. Each new version of the business process needs to accommodate existing running process instances that may be at various stages in the event driven implementation. However suitable tooling could be provided to help manage this.
1) Active processes should continue to use the same process definition (e.g. BPEL) version, while new process instances would use the most recent version.
2) Terminate all currently active processes – this seems a bit extreme, and can only really work if all systems involved have a way to undo or back out the work already done, and then replay the transaction on the new business process.
3) Migrating the process – although some simple changes can be handled using this approach, it can be very difficult to achieve without introducing errors. This is because the control structure of a process may change, or new variables may be added that cannot be initialised 'after the fact'.
So options (2) and (3) may be suitable in rare cases, but they are not a general solution.
The problem with option (1) is that a business process may be changed while a business process instance (or transaction) has not 'touched' all of the BPEL process definitions involved. For simplicity, if we assume a business process is comprised of two BPEL process definitions, A and B – if a business process instance X starts with process A, and waits for some duration (i.e. may be awaiting user input), and in the meantime the business process is updated in such a way that the interface between process definitions A and B are changed. When process instance X restarts in process definition A, and attempts to interact with process definition B, it would fail. This is because process definition B has not previously been involved in business transaction X, and therefore the BPEL engine managing process definition B would not be aware that it needs to actually direct the interaction to an older version of process definition B.
Could process governance provide another solution to this problem?
Understanding what behaviour a service provides, and what behaviour a service requires from other services, may provide the basis for ensuring the appropriate versions of each service work together correctly to deliver a particular version of the overall business process. This means that when one service wants to interact with another service, it should invoke the process definition version that meets its behavioural requirements, and not necessarily the one that is the most recent version.
The other way in which behaviour could be of use is to help determine whether a new version of a particular process definition (i.e. BPEL) is backward compatible with an active process instance associated with an older version of the process definition. If this is the case, then it may be easy to migrate the process instance to a newer process definition, and thus enable the business process instance as a whole to evolve – however this would be subject to the backward compatibility constraint.
First approach is to make each component of the process as simple and short lived as possible, to avoid having to worry about issues related to versioning those components. The system runs using the most up-to-date version of each component, and the complexity in dealing with changes in a business process are managed by the glue between the tasks – the rules that govern how the results of one task are used to trigger one or more other tasks.
The second approach doesn't place restrictions on the long running nature of the individual services, but instead provides a way in which multiple versions of a business process can run simultaneously, and evolve within certain constraints to newer versions of the service components.
The main point is that a business process and the resulting service designs should not be defined with versioning in mind. As far as possible, this needs to be handled as part of a SOI. In the case of the second approach, this can be handled as part of the governance capabilities, by controlling the specific versions of services that are used based on the required behaviour.
A choreography, as defined in the WS-CDL spec, "describes peer-to-peer collaborations of parties by defining, from a global viewpoint, their common and complementary observable behavior; where ordered message exchanges result in accomplishing a common business goal."
1) Normally a standardisation process occurs when a number of proprietary de-facto standards, supported by different groups within industry, need to be merged to provide a single true standard that all parties are happy with.
No such proprietary standard existed for choreography, and therefore the working group were in the rare position of having to create something from scratch.
2) For introducing the concept of a 'global' model - a global model being a description of the interactions between parties from a neutral or global (i.e. service independent) perspective.
Much respect to Nickolas Kavantzas of ORACLE for dreaming up the idea, as this has spawned a lot of new research, and therefore if WS-CDL has achieved nothing else, it has made a significant contribution to computer science. Pity ORACLE didn't follow up on Nick's excellent contribution by providing an implementation of the standard, especially as they were also the co-chair of the working group.
However WS-CDL has its downsides.
In an attempt to provide a language with a strong formal type system, it has become complex to use. It is perceived by many to be web service specific, due to its affiliation with W3C. However the most damaging aspect is the long running misconception that it is competitive to BPEL.
As mentioned above, WS-CDL is an example of a 'global' model, and therefore provides a service independent view of interactions between participants.
Abstract BPEL is an example of a 'local' model, i.e. it is a service specific view of interactions between that service and its directly associated participants. Therefore the standards are actually complementary, they should be able to work together harmoniously in their separate roles.
The problem is that one of the main disadvantages with WS-CDL is that it does not define its own 'local' model representation that would be fully compatible with the 'global' model language. Although Abstract BPEL can be used to fulfill this role, it is not ideal for the job.
Now choreography has come of age. We have a new champion emerging on the scene in the form of BPMN2.
The popular graphical notation has taken a number of significant steps forward with version 2, including the introduction of a choreography 'global' model to accompany the existing process 'local' model notation.
The benefit of this approach is that it is (1) not perceived to be web service specific, (2) there is a compatible notation between the 'global' and 'local' model perspectives, and (3) it is being incorporated into a standard that is already very popular, and therefore should make it easier for users to adopt the choreography concept.
Steve has posted an interesting article on his recent use of the testable architectures approach he's been discussing for several years. It's obviously closely related to what we're trying to achieve together on Process Governance, so take a look. | {

Review - The Visitor by K.L. Slater
The Visitor by K.L. Slater
Back cover blurb: You can never know what goes on behind closed doors. Or can you? Holly never thought she'd move back to her home town, but then something terrible happened. She doesn't know if she can recover. But she knows she can never tell another soul. People say her neighbour, David, is "different". He doesn't go out much, and never after dark. But in David Holly finds just what she needs: a friend. Someone who's always there. No one knows Holly's secret, or where she lives. She has left the past behind. She is sure of it. So why does she feel as though she's in terrible danger?
The Visitor is the latest psychological thriller from KL Slater. Holly is a timely visitor to Cora Barrett, a lonely old lady in Holly's hometown of Nottingham.
After the death of Cora's husband, she has been lacking companionship. Holly's misfortune is her gain, as she takes her in as a lodger after taking pity on her following an incident at the local post office.
Holly needs a break.
After escaping her troubled family life as a teenager and fleeing to Manchester with her friend Marcus, Holly hadn't ever imagined she'd return to her hometown of Nottingham.
But that was before she met Geraldine and Brendan and everything changed.
David is Cora's next door neighbour. He is intrigued by Holly's arrival at the house and vows to get to know her better despite his own personal reservations about befriending a stranger. His Mother and those close to him don't think he should get close to Holly but David doesn't care.
Holly and David begin to tentatively strike up a friendship. Holly feels safe with David, but she can't shake the feeling that someone is watching her. Someone trying to track her down from her past. Someone that she doesn't want to see ever again.
I can't say much more about The Visitor without giving anything away, so I'll just this. The ending I didn't see coming in a million years. Another brilliant K.L. Slater novel.
The Visitor is available now via Amazon online and all good book shops.
Thank You to the publishers who approved my request via netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver is associated with obesity-related metabolic disturbances, but little is known about the metabolic perturbations preceding fatty liver disease. We performed comprehensive metabolic profiling to assess how circulating metabolites, such as lipoprotein lipids, fatty acids, amino acids, and glycolysis-related metabolites, reflect the presence of and future risk for fatty liver in young adults. Sixty-eight lipids and metabolites were quantified by nuclear magnetic resonance metabolomics in the population-based Young Finns Study from serum collected in 2001 (n = 1,575), 2007 (n = 1,509), and 2011 (n = 2,002). Fatty liver was diagnosed by ultrasound in 2011 when participants were aged 34–49 years (19% prevalence). Cross-sectional associations as well as 4-year and 10-year risks for fatty liver were assessed by logistic regression. Metabolites across multiple pathways were strongly associated with the presence of fatty liver (P < 0.0007 for 60 measures in age-adjusted and sex-adjusted cross-sectional analyses). The strongest direct associations were observed for extremely large very-low-density lipoprotein triglycerides (odds ratio [OR] 5 4.86 per 1 standard deviation, 95% confidence interval 3.48–6.78), other very-low-density lipoprotein measures, and branched-chain amino acids (e.g., leucine OR = 2.94, 2.51–3.44). Strong inverse associations were observed for high-density lipoprotein measures, e.g., high-density lipoprotein size (OR = 0.36, 0.30–0.42) and several fatty acids including omega-6 (OR = 0.37, 0.32–0.42). The metabolic associations were attenuated but remained significant after adjusting for waist, physical activity, alcohol consumption, and smoking (P < 0.0007). Similar aberrations in the metabolic profile were observed already 10 years before fatty liver diagnosis.
Conclusion: Circulating lipids, fatty acids, and amino acids reflect fatty liver independently of routine metabolic risk factors; these metabolic aberrations appear to precede the development of fatty liver in young adults.

We can't 'forgive' Ezekiel Elliott and Dak Prescott. The duo decided to take their guys trip to Florida to the next level by buying a bunch of pen!s squirt guns and rocking them to the nightclub!!!
Here's what happened… the Dallas Cowboys stars rolled into Shorty's Market in Key West, Florida on Friday night along with several Cowboys offensive lineme and decided to arm the group with some water wieners.
Witnesses say the crew ended up at Rick's Bar ... where Zeke was seen holstering his pen!s in a black fanny pack, with the barrel dangerously pointed up.
They had fun, witnesses said, but we wonder why no one called the police. Who storms a club like that? That's some harassment dude!!! Lol.

It's really difficult to predict how busy the Magical Express will be at a given time/date. While there should definitely be less people at that time, there may also be less buses offered. I wouldn't expect that you'd wait too long. I've taken buses late at night and waited about 10-15 minutes on the bus, but never longer than that. | {

ENR New York's Owner of the Year winner is selected by vote among Engineering News-Record's regional and top editors. One important quality we look for is whether the organization is making a distinctive impact in the region where it builds -- and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority is doing so.
NYSERDA, which is running the clean energy contracting for the state, impressed our editors because of how it promotes energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources by working with business owners, developers, community leaders, local and state governments, and many other stakeholders. It's a particularly crucial entity considering Gov. Andrew Cuomo's aggressive clean energy agenda. And with utilities being considered "essential," construction of such projects likely won't face restrictions as severe as "non-essential" projects.
NYSERDA and the New York Power Authority have partnered on a $2-billion 250-mile transmission system that will connect renewable energy systems in upstate New York and Canada with downstate area and also modernize New York's electric grid; NYSERDA has begun soliciting proposals for the project. The agency will also help expand electric vehicle charging stations in New York, for which Cuomo committed $11 million.
The authority also can help other project owners. It's created a network of contractors to help owners build energy-saving systems, from clean heat to solar installations, with expertise in commercial, multifamily and other residential. Relatedly, it has a program for contracting firms that wish to become a NYSERDA contractor. And it recently partnered with SUNY to launch the $20 million Offshore Wind Training Institute (OWTI) to train 2,500 workers so they can join the offshore wind skilled workforce.
That's a proactive step, since as of now, New York has five offshore wind projects in active development that will total more than 4,300 megawatts. These include Empire Wind 2 and the $8.9 billion Beacon Wind of Equinor Wind US LLC, for which NYSERDA is negotiating contracts.
You can read more about NYSERDA when our feature story runs in the March 15, 2021, edition of ENR New York/New Jersey, along with our annual Top Starts list.
Thanks for the honor!

One of the most famous directors of the 21st century, Martin Scorsese, wrote a letter to Universal Pictures in early May. He wanted the company to finance his new film. Universal Pictures considered the planned budget of film to be overly high and refused the offer.
However, Scorsese did not give up on his idea. He wrote a letter to Apple and proposed to finance his motion picture on the condition that Universal would be involved in the production and filming.
Apple's Answer
Scorsese did not have to wait for a long time. Apple agreed to finance his project. According to Variety, Paramount Pictures will be the distributor of the film, while Apple will take all the financing costs. Some sources claim that the contact has not been formally signed yet, but it will be done in the near future.
Title, Plot and Actors
The upcoming film's title is Killers of the Flower Moon. The movie will tell a story about the events of the 1920s. The screenplay is based on the bestselling book by David Grann with the same title.
According to the plot of the book, someone murders Osage Indians in Oklahoma after big oil deposits were discovered beneath their land. It caught the attention of the FBI, which started an investigation.
As for the cast, Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio will play the leading roles.
Why this movie is worth watching?
First of all, Apple will definitely make a high-quality product in collaboration with Universal Pictures. Secondly, the film has a huge all-star cast with some of the best actors on the planet. Thirdly, it is based on a worldwide-known bests-selling book. | {

I need to solve the equation as follows by numerical methods such as Runge Kutta, Newton Raphson, ... Hope everyone help me. I thank everyone.
Your biggest problem is you have no precision in your equations. Your equations have terms that are order of 10^0 and terms that have order 10^15. You are using machine precision numbers that only have 16 decimal places. I suggest you re-derive your equations using a higher precision (i.e. 30) and you will probably be able to integrate them more easily.
Also, in understanding the physical source of your equations, does the size of your coefficients make sense? It is unusual to have such large numbers in a dynamical equation.
As I stated, you need more precision. Note that I put 30 digits of precision on all machine precision numbers (numbers like 1 or Pi are infinite precision already). Also note that 5*^6 is the correct syntax for 5e6or 5x10^6 in MMA. Also 1.2`30 is 1.2 with 30 digits of precision. This works fine.
Your NDSolve now works fine.
Thank you for your help. Wish you a good day.

Just in time for Monday Night Football, fans will be able to place their bets on the Redskins-Eagles game beginning at 3pm on Monday at the Tiverton Casino Hotel in Rhode Island.
After the Twin River Management Group's Lincoln, Rhode Island property was the first casino in New England to begin accepting bets on professional sports, the company announced on Friday that on Monday sports betting will launch at its Tiverton location.
In Lincoln on November 26, the Twin River Casino Hotel opened its non-smoking sportsbook in its dedicated room located on the third floor. Powered by William Hill, the room features upwards of 100 TV screens airing games.
The larger of the two casinos, the Lincoln venue already offered betting on simulcast horse races at its two Racebooks, which are located on the venue's third floor (non-smoking) and on the second floor (smoking). According to the casino's website, soon they will open a second Sportsbook location, Sportsbook Bar & Grill.
Formerly known as Lincoln Park, the Lincoln facility offers 162,000 square-feet of gaming space with more than 5,000 gaming positions. The casino operates over 4,200 slot machines and virtual table games, including blackjack and roulette, along with 119 live table games including blackjack, roulette, craps, a 22-table poker room and more.
The sports betting room at the casino in Tiverton, which opened on September 1 this year, has 11 TV screens airing the games and two terminals for patrons to place bets. A total of 50 TV screens showing the games will reportedly be situated throughout the casino, said Doyle.
The Tiverton Casino Hotel, which is situated on 21 acres includes an 84-room hotel, food, beverage, and entertainment outlets, a fitness center, meeting space and a 38,000 square foot casino with 32 gaming tables and some 1,000 slot machines.
For now, the two Twin River locations are the only places in the state where bets (legally) will be accepted, and only in person. Prior to the opening of the sports book at the Lincoln venue last week, the nearest legalsports book was Meadowlands in New Jersey.
Rhode Island wasted no time in legalizing sports betting after in May this year the U.S. Supreme Court struck down The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (PASPA) that made most sports gambling illegal. To date, seven US states offer legal sports betting including Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Mississippi, West Virginia, Delaware, New Jersey and Nevada.
According to the media outlet, wagering will not be permitted on Rhode Island teams. | {

In a Japanese city, this crow was unable to eat the nut as it has a hard shell. So he dropped it on the hard surface of the road which broke it. But it had fear of coming under the oncoming traffic.
In order to survive, it obeyed the simple traffic lights (which it had no idea about) and dropped the nut on the pedestrian crossing line aka zebra crossing. As the cars ran over the nut making small pieces of it, he goes and eats those pieces when the traffic gets halted on a red light.
This footage is captured by BBC team and narrated by none other than Sir David Attenborough.
Watch the complete video for seeing the crow in its ingenious action!

Q: Replacing lambda expressions in LINQ queries through NET/Link We have an IEnumerable Objects in C# that we want to import into the Wolfram Financial Platform. In the current C# API, we use LINQ queries to select from the Objects the specific Object that we need. In Wolfram Financial Platform we can import the IEnumerable Objects through NET/Link (More info: http://reference.wolfram.com/language/NETLink/tutorial/Overview.html)
Once the object is imported, there does not seem to be a way to use LINQ queries even after importing the LINQ library. Additionally, lambda expressions used in the LINQ queries do not have a clear replacement in Wolfram Financial Platform.
Examples
C#
Object.Where(x => x.Property == Target).FirstOrDefault();
Wolfram
???[# == #.Property &, Object]`FirstOrDefault[];
Current Attempt + Error
C#
Option call = optionChain.Options
.Where(x => (x.Expiration - DateTime.Today).TotalDays > 7 && (x.Expiration - DateTime.Today).TotalDays < 45 && x.PutCall == PutCall.Call && x.Class.Settlement == null)
.OrderBy(x => Math.Abs(msft.Trade.Last - x.Strike)).FirstOrDefault();
Wolfram (baby steps version)
call = optionChain@Options`FirstOrDefault[];
Error
"No public instance method named "FirstOrDefault" exists for
the .NET type "Core.Data.MarketData.OptionChain".
Also tried using First[optionChain@Options]; and got the non-atomic error. Found that could mean an infinite loop or non-existent variable. Checked that optionChain@Options exists by outputting it through NETConsole, which makes me think that NETObjects won't work with First[] (?)
End Goal
Import specific values from a C# API with LINQ queries, or equivalent, intact into Wolfram Financial Platform for the purpose of writing a program in the Wolfram Financial Platform language (not allowed to do it the other way around, as much as I want to).
Originally posted this on StackExchange, but it looks like it is pending removal due to being "off-topic"
A: A solution to this is to convert the .Net collection into a Wolfram List and then use Select. ToArray can be called on Options for this conversion.
Also (from our chat), since Expiration is not static in C# then @ can be used instead of `. Combining these we get:
Select[DateDifference[DateObject[#@Expiration /@ {Year, Month, Day}],
Today, "Day"] < Quantity[15, "Days"] &]@
(optionChain @ Options @ ToArray[])
The components of Expiration are taken into a Wolfram DateObject specification by #@Expiration /@ {Year, Month, Day}
Additional conditions can be added to Select.
Hope this helps.

The Kid from Cleveland is a 1949 sports drama film starring George Brent, Lynn Bari and Russ Tamblyn. Directed by Herbert Kline, the film was released by Republic Pictures.
The Kid from Cleveland tells the story of a "troubled teenaged fan" being helped by his favorite baseball team – the Cleveland Indians. The Indians had just won the 1948 World Series and many of the team's players made appearances along with owner Bill Veeck, co-owner and former Major League Baseball star Hank Greenberg, and then current coach and Baseball Hall-of-Famer Tris Speaker. Also featured were the team's then current and former ballparks, Cleveland Municipal Stadium and League Park. Several Cleveland Indians and Boston Braves players also appear in the film in archive baseball footage segments from the 1948 World Series. | {

HRI Releases Annual Report and Announces New Look
We have released our first Annual Report describing milestones and accomplishments achieved during the 2016-2017 fiscal year.
As we reflect on the past year, we are reminded that we have many reasons to celebrate. To name a few:
Our scientists received national funding to support vital research projects aimed at improving treatment for people diagnosed with addiction and PTSD.
HRI has established partnerships that will enable us to help military members and veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) using an innovative cognitive training program. Research will be expanded to include police and first responders.
HRI's Post-Discharge Outcome Monitoring System (PDO) enrolled nearly 1000 participants. The PDO project, which collect evaluates the long-term impacts of addiction treatment, has gained national attention and will be used to inform care across Canada.
HRI established a new Strategic Plan to guide our growth over the next five years as we work to build a national enterprise with a more robust research program.
A New Look for HRI
As HRI embarks on a new and ambitious phase of growth, we are pleased to launch a new brand identity that reflects our sharpened focus on building collaborative networks to bridge research and practice. You will notice that the 2016-2017 Annual Report incorporates our updated branding.
Our new logo signifies our unwavering commitment to making connections and finding solutions. Our icon uses an upward trend line, symbolizing improvement and transformation. Other visual elements, such as brand colours and imagery, represent calmness, hope, strength and impact. The logo places emphasis on the word research, because research is the foundation on which our organization is built.

Infographic: A Closer Look at the Recovery Journey
HRI has created an infographic summarizing early findings from the Post-Discharge Outcomes Monitoring System (PDO), also known to Homewood patients as the Recovery Journey Project.
The infographic outlines changes in various indicators of recovery between the time of admission and 12-months post-discharge for patients who receive treatment in the Addiction Medicine Service at Homewood Health Centre. It also provides an overview of participant demographics, abstinence trends, and changes in occupational performance, social roles, and overall life satisfaction.
Unique in Canada, HRI's PDO system supports the comprehensive evaluation of the long-term impacts of treatment interventions. Future directions for this initiative include the expansion and tailoring of the system to measure outcomes among those treated for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental health conditions. The PDO system provides a thorough and quantifiable understanding of what happens once patients leave residential care and holds great promise for evaluating and informing evidence-based care across Canada.
Examining the Utility of Mindfulness-based Treatments for PTSD
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can occur after exposure to a traumatic event, such as witnessing death, serious injury or violence. It causes intrusive symptoms that interfere with daily function and quality of life.
Common treatments for PTSD, including Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), have proven effective in reducing symptoms of PTSD. But a substantial number of patients do not fully recover following PE and CPT interventions.
Recent emerging studies indicate that mindfulness-based treatments may prove promising as complementary or alternative approaches to further assist people suffering from PTSD.
PhD Student, Jenna Boyd, in collaboration with HRI scientists Dr. Ruth Lanius and Dr. Margaret McKinnon (Boyd, Lanius, McKinnon, 2017) reviewed treatment literature and neurological evidence regarding mindfulness-based interventions for PTSD. The paper investigates the theoretical basis for the utility of mindfulness-based approaches in the treatment of PTSD, explores the overlap between neurobiological models of PTSD and the neurobiology of mindfulness, and discusses limitations and future directions for the potential efficacy of these approaches in treating PTSD.

October 2006 -- Most of the new things are over at the book site ... including links to TV and radio appearances.
Beauty from Afar (Amazon link) is about the phenomenon of people traveling overseas for high quality, low cost medical care and cosmetic surgery. It is my first book, and I will apparently be kept pretty busy talking about it and promoting it; though not so much so that I will not have time for related and unrelated freelance projects. There is a blog for the book, linked from the Amazon page. People interested in me or the topics of cosmetic surgery, medical tourism and health care around the world might want to go look.
I'm your host, Jeff Schult. The cheap version of the resume is here. There is video of me talking about the book here -- it is mostly to show to TV folks as proof that I speak in complete sentences and am unlikely to scare small children.
If you're trying to get in touch with me, current contact information is on the resume page. | {

Pawnee Mental Health opens teen center
Julianna Poe, Trending Editor
In light of rising mental health awareness, Pawnee Mental Health recently announced the opening of a new teen center at the Pawnee Mental Health Services building on Hayes Drive.
"We really want to help decrease the stigma that surrounds mental health," said Gabrielle Mayers, a youth group coordinator at Pawnee Mental Health. "We're hoping that with Pawnee, as a mental health center, opening this up to the community, [people will] feel more comfortable with addressing mental health with themselves and others."
According to Mayers, discussions surrounding a teen center were occurring before she brought it up to her supervisor Terra Upham and director Shelli Schottler. From there, visions quickly turned into a reality.
"When I was in middle school and high school, my community had a little teen center that was chaperoned by parents," Mayers said. "I wanted a place for all teens in the community, not just Pawnee youth, to come to."
Besides bringing attention to mental health, the overall goal of the teen center is to provide students with a safe environment to hang out, meet new people and ask questions.
"We have a few different goals for the teen center," Mayers said. "The main thing is to have a safe place for the youth in our community and for Pawnee youth to come in, hang out, have a good time, especially since there's so many limited options right now due to COVID."
There are several different activities available for youth at the teen center, including arts and crafts, movies, board games and even a quiet room to read. A family-friendly, gaming console is also in the works.
"There's a bunch of different things … going on to … speak to different individuals and their personalities and their interests," Mayers said. "That way people with different interests can find something that they like to do there with their friends."
According to Mayers, one of the most important takeaways from this teen center is that "everyone can … benefit from asking questions."
"I want them to know that it's a nonjudgmental place," Mayers said. "You can come and you can be who you are … It's okay to ask questions about mental health and to even get help when it comes to mental health."
Starting next month, the teen center will be open from 6 to 9 p.m. on the first Friday every month. Registration for the event can be found on their website and is $2 per visit. In the future, Pawnee hopes to host more sessions each month.
"I think my favorite aspect of the teen center is it's not just for Pawnee youth, it's for all the teens 13 to 18 in the community to come and learn what we do here at Pawnee and [to] just have a safe place to hang out with each other," Mayers said. "If you're someone like me that struggles with meeting new people, this is a safe environment and hopefully a comfortable environment to do that."

Rescue Team is rated 4.0 out of 5 by 31.
Rated 5 out of 5 by KimK27 from Challenging, cute, fun TM game I'm not the biggest TM game fan, but there are a few I really like and this is one of them. If you've played and enjoyed Roads to Rome, you'll probably like this one too. There's some strategy involved here, figuring out what to do when and if you really do need to remove all the obstructions or if there might be another, less expensive way to reach your goals. The levels aren't necessarily increasing in difficulty as the game progresses; some of the lower levels took several tries for me to finish at the "gold" rating and some later ones took only one try. There's not much in the way of storyline, but I play adventure games for that. The graphics and sound are maybe a little childlike, but not annoyingly so. The workers say "happy!" when one of them or a citizen is rescued. I find myself saying "hurry hurry hurry!" as the last worker is running along if I'm very close to beating the clock. The game is engaging and fun to play. A quibble: I wish the circle indicating where I'm clicking to assign a task to a worker would NOT be green if I have no workers available. It's red if the way is blocked or there aren't yet enough resources available. But I did get used to keeping an eye out for worker availability. Definitely worth an hour of play to see if you like it; I think you'll enjoy the challenge.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bwgirl from Excellent Fun! Good clean fun. No occult themes hidden in the game. I've played this game over and over again. Wish there were more repairs to make to the main town (more reasons to earn more money) but all in all it is a very enjoyable game. Was happy to see the second one.
Rated 5 out of 5 by DTex354 from Addictive time mgmt game With 60 levels it took me awhile to complete them all and each one offered a different challenge requiring me to develop a strategy. I went back and replayed any level that I didn't master and still had fun doing it. My only complaint was that I finished the repairs to the house early on and there was no further incentive to keep playing, other than my own obsessive nature :-) This is a good one for time mgmt fans.
Rated 5 out of 5 by hawaiifrycat from The Most Enjoyable Time Management Game I find many of the time management games out there tedious, boring and maddeningly difficult. This game is an absolute pleasure! It's challenging and fun. I love the way the little guys run around accomplishing their tasks. The thing I love most about Rescue Team is that no one has smoke coming out of their ears or is going red in the face with impatience. I get my fill of unhappy people in the real world, I don't need them in my free time as well. The visuals are cheerful and light. And EVERYBODY cheers for you when you complete the goals. How great is that?!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hammhocks from Fun "Time Management/Builder" Game I had a great time with this game. It isn't my favorite in the category but... I'm happy with my purchase. :) The length was great (60 levels). I had to replay several levels (some of them several times) to get "gold". You really have to be on-the-ball to finish before the clock on many levels. The reason I didn't mind replaying some of the levels was because it wasn't as difficult, as some games in this category, to figure out a different strategy. Some people don't like that the repairs on the house were, typically, completely well before the end of the game. That didn't bother me at all. Some people also don't like that you can't "advance queue" your workers. That didn't bother me either. That's part of the challenge of the game. I don't know if it's something I did, or maybe I just missed it completely but... after I had finished all 60 levels (all gold)... The next screen that came up was the map. I didn't see the little arrow telling me what level was to be played next so I assumed I was going into bonus levels. Not the case. It took me back to level 1. I didn't get a screen telling me how wonderful I am to have saved all these people and places. ;) If you're looking for a game with a "doable" challenge that isn't completed in a couple of hours, give this one a try.
Rated 5 out of 5 by 69love from need more time for gold the game is good but there are two problems first the timers go to fast so it is hard to get first.second there is no relax mode this would be good for kids ages 6 to 9 that play this gane
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pucktweety from Love this type of game! I absolutely love this type of game and even though a lot of other people had only motivation to finish the house, I just loved doing each level. I thought it was long enough to be worth the money and I also really loved the new aspects added to each level. Overall it was a very interesting game, with good enough graphics for what it was meant to be with smooth game play and very, very fun!
Rated 5 out of 5 by 3meme from A fun management game You have to really think about how to complete each level. Own this game and enjoy playing it.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Qwiz from Great game Great game, needs more levels!
Rated 5 out of 5 by brittany200616 from Rescue Team is awsome I love the whole thing. Time mangement is one of my faveorite catagorys. The game is very nice indeed!! lol

Q: how to implement a logger factory for jboss EAP 6.2 applications I am migrating a web app from weblogic portal application server to jboss EAP 6.2 server now My problem is whatever the logging framework we used in weblogic is not working in jboss so what are the best ways to implement logger for jboss web applications? Which is the best API to configure the loggerfactory either apache commons logging or log4j or java.util.logger?
Thanks
Karthik
A: you can remove the logging subsystem from configuration/domain.xml file. It will disable your jboss eap's default logging and your configuration will work

On a sunny Monday morning in December, the line wrapped around to the side of the building, with more people arriving even as the time ticked down to the noon opening. The gathering crowd was ready for the doors to open into the new Salvation Army Service Center in Cleveland, Mississippi. Among those in attendance were representatives of the local chamber of commerce and Mayor Billy Nowell of Cleveland. The line of people waiting to enter the store watched and applauded as Mayor Nowell cut the red ribbon, signaling the grand opening as the waiting crowd was finally allowed to enter.
But this event opened the door to more than a thrift store.The Salvation Army Service Center provides services for a whole community. One of the first people in the door was Lillian Jones who said, "It's going to be a very useful place to come." Lillian and the small, pink sweater she bought for her grand-niece was part of a long line of people waiting to make her purchases at the thrift store. She was one of over a 130 people that day to make purchases for herself and her family.
According to Bogan the event was "a very successful opening, one of the best grand openings we've had under my leadership." The people in the store seemed to agree, as they were treated to refreshments and a first look at the thrift store that will serve their community. The Salvation Army's Cleveland, MS Service Center will serve Bolivar, Coahoma, Humphreys, Quitman, Sunflower, and Washington Counties.

As of May 2018, over 1,800 cryptocurrency specifications existed.[24] Within a cryptocurrency system, the safety, integrity and balance of ledgers is maintained by a community of mutually distrustful parties referred to as miners: who use their computers to help validate and timestamp transactions, adding them to the ledger in accordance with a particular timestamping scheme.[14]
Darknet markets present challenges in regard to legality. Bitcoins and other forms of cryptocurrency used in dark markets are not clearly or legally classified in almost all parts of the world. In the U.S., bitcoins are labelled as "virtual assets". This type of ambiguous classification puts pressure on law enforcement agencies around the world to adapt to the shifting drug trade of dark markets.[75]

A cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual currency designed to work as a medium of exchange. It uses cryptography to secure and verify transactions as well as to control the creation of new units of a particular cryptocurrency. Essentially, cryptocurrencies are limited entries in a database that no one can change unless specific conditions are fulfilled.
How many Altcoins are there
Bitcoin (BTC) is known as the first open-source, peer-to-peer, digital cryptocurrency that was developed and released by a group of unknown independent programmers named Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008. Cryptocoin doesn't have any centralized server used for its issuing, transactions and storing, as it uses a distributed network public database technology named blockchain, which requires an electronic signature and is supported by a proof-of-work protocol to provide the security and legitimacy of money transactions. The issuing of Bitcoin is done by users with mining capabilities and is limited to 21 million coins. Currently, Bitcoin's market cap surpasses $138 billion and this is the most popular kind of digital currency. Buying and selling cryptocurrency is available through special Bitcoin exchange platforms or ATMs.
The first decentralized cryptocurrency, bitcoin, was created in 2009 by pseudonymous developer Satoshi Nakamoto. It used SHA-256, a cryptographic hash function, as its proof-of-work scheme.[14][15] In April 2011, Namecoin was created as an attempt at forming a decentralized DNS, which would make internet censorship very difficult. Soon after, in October 2011, Litecoin was released. It was the first successful cryptocurrency to use scrypt as its hash function instead of SHA-256. Another notable cryptocurrency, Peercoin was the first to use a proof-of-work/proof-of-stake hybrid.[16]
What is Bitcoin gambling
While it's very easy to buy Bitcoins - there are numerous exchanges in existence that trade in BTC - other cryptocurrencies aren't as easy to acquire. Although, this situation is slowly improving with major exchanges like Kraken, BitFinex, BitStamp and many others starting to sell Litecoin, Ethereum, Monero, Ripple and so on. There are also a few other different ways of being coin, for instance, you can trade face-to-face with a seller or use a Bitcoin ATM.
What is Cryptocurrency based on
Is Cryptocurrency legal in Qatar
Litecoin broke below the critical support of $61.75 on September 24. That was followed by further selling that dragged prices to $50.25 on September 26. Currently, the bulls are attempting a pullback that is likely to face resistance at $61.75. Both moving averages are sloping down and the RSI is close to the oversold zone, which suggests that bears are in the...
According to the European Central Bank, the decentralization of money offered by bitcoin has its theoretical roots in the Austrian school of economics, especially with Friedrich von Hayek in his book Denationalisation of Money: The Argument Refined,[133] in which Hayek advocates a complete free market in the production, distribution and management of money to end the monopoly of central banks.[134]:22
Where can I get free Bitcoins
Mining is a record-keeping service done through the use of computer processing power.[f] Miners keep the blockchain consistent, complete, and unalterable by repeatedly grouping newly broadcast transactions into a block, which is then broadcast to the network and verified by recipient nodes.[80] Each block contains a SHA-256 cryptographic hash of the previous block,[80] thus linking it to the previous block and giving the blockchain its name.[7]:ch. 7[80]
Why Bitcoin was created
Bitcoin is a digital asset designed to work in peer-to-peer transactions as a currency.[4][142] Bitcoins have three qualities useful in a currency, according to The Economist in January 2015: they are "hard to earn, limited in supply and easy to verify."[143] Per some researchers, as of 2015, bitcoin functions more as a payment system than as a currency.[36]
Bitcoin is pseudonymous, meaning that funds are not tied to real-world entities but rather bitcoin addresses. Owners of bitcoin addresses are not explicitly identified, but all transactions on the blockchain are public. In addition, transactions can be linked to individuals and companies through "idioms of use" (e.g., transactions that spend coins from multiple inputs indicate that the inputs may have a common owner) and corroborating public transaction data with known information on owners of certain addresses.[126] Additionally, bitcoin exchanges, where bitcoins are traded for traditional currencies, may be required by law to collect personal information.[127] To heighten financial privacy, a new bitcoin address can be generated for each transaction.[128]
Does XRP use Blockchain
Depending on a jurisdiction you live in, once you've made a profit or a loss investing in cryptocurrencies, you might need to include it in your tax report. In terms of taxation, cryptocurrencies are treated very differently from country to country. In the US, the Internal Revenue Service ruled that Bitcoins and other digital currencies are to be taxed as property, not currency. For investors, this means that accrued long-term gains and losses from cryptocurrency trading are taxed at each investor's applicable capital gains rate, which stands at a maximum of 15 percent.
Here's why. Ethereum is based on blockchain technology where all transactions are meant to be irreversible and unchangeable. By executing a hard fork and rewriting the rules by which the blockchain executes, Ethereum set a dangerous precedent that goes against the very essence of blockchain. If the blockchain is changed every time a large enough amount of money is involved, or enough people get negatively impacted, the blockchain will lose its main value proposition – secure, anonymous, tamper proof & unchangeable.
Transactions that occur through the use and exchange of these altcoins are independent from formal banking systems, and therefore can make tax evasion simpler for individuals. Since charting taxable income is based upon what a recipient reports to the revenue service, it becomes extremely difficult to account for transactions made using existing cryptocurrencies, a mode of exchange that is complex and difficult to track.[66]
Where can I cash out bitcoins
When was 0x added to Coinbase
Using Ethereum's "Turing complete" smart contract language, Solidity, developers are able to deploy a set of instructions to the blockchain that operate indefinitely with a high degree of finality and fraud-resistance. With the first block being mined in July 2015, Ethereum has since become the largest smart contract platform of its kind, and the second largest blockchain of all time as measured by market capitalization.
Does Bitcoin affect credit score
Ethereum's core innovation, the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is a Turing complete software that runs on the Ethereum network. It enables anyone to run any program, regardless of the programming language given enough time and memory. The Ethereum Virtual Machine makes the process of creating blockchain applications much easier and efficient than ever before. Instead of having to build an entirely original blockchain for each new application, Ethereum enables the development of potentially thousands of different applications all on one platform.

Hope is always locked into the present moment, imperfect as it is, because that is the only place where you meet the mystery of God.
It is so hard to get up when you feel you have dropped off not just God's radar, but everyone else's as well.
It is hard to have faith when so many things seem to have gone wrong, when you are paralysed by fear of the future.
But this is not all that there is; the light of God's presence shines in the darkest place and cannot be overcome.
Loving Lord, you meet us wherever we are.
Give to all those in prison the strength they need to survive each day and each night.
Set them free from the power of darkness, we beseech you. | {

David Fussenegger sure knows how to make a B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L blanket!
They also know how to inject just the right amount of sweetness into a pattern to make the design divine.
In the harlequin baby blanket you'll find this in the happy little snail in some of the triangles.
Despite featuring green tones, this blanket is not overly masculine so would be suitable for baby girls and boys if you don't know the gender yet.
This David Fussenegger baby blanket measures 70 x 90cm, making it a great size for wrapping around baby carriers, for use in prams, as a swaddle when baby is brand new and even as a cot blanket.
The reinforced edges improve the longevity of these blankets. We're not sure how but friends of The Nursery have had David Fussenegger blankets for years and they still look brand new despite being used relentlessly!
Cold wash is recommended to maintain the quality of the blanket.
Since 1832, David Fussenegger of Austria have been designing and manufacturing blankets, cushions and accessories for your home and lifestyle. Their designs are contemporary yet distinctly European. The quality materials utilized are soft and warm yet incredibly durable. | {

Billie Eilish drops 'ROMA'-influenced "When I Was Older"
Rachel Hammermueller
Today, Billie Eilish once again cements her place as one of the undeniably creative young artists leading the next generation of music. Following the soul-crushing "when the party's over" is Eilish's latest "When I Was Older (Music Inspired by ROMA)"; a track which draws inspiration from the Netflix drama ROMA. The track is signature Eilish; chillingly intense vocals alongside a hypnotic beat and clever lyrics. Written with her older brother and familiar collaborator Finneas O'Connell, the track will be featured on upcoming Music Inspired by ROMA. The album will feature artists hand-picked by the movie's Oscar-winning director Alfonso Cuarón.
ROMA illustrates the journey of a domestic worker through political turmoil in 1970s Mexico. Eilish and O'Connell say that they wanted to "write from within the narrative of the movie and the scenes that struck us the most from it. Lines like "memories burn like a forest fire" are accompanied by the sounds of the trees burning in the woods outside the house. The chorus has the ocean sounds overplayed on it." From previous tracks, the world knows that Eilish can deliver. Specifically when it comes to creativity and immense feeling in her work. In "When I Was Older", we see her capturing a point of view from another character, another life, and circumstance. With this release, Eilish lends her voice to help capture an important and emotional journey.

Custodial workers play a critical but often under-acknowledged role in maintaining hotels, offices, shopping centers, and many other locations. These workers help to clean, disinfect, maintain, and repair the environments in which we spend our lives.
Due to the nature of their work, many custodial workers face unusually high risks of illness and injury. The Bureau of labor Statistics even reports that individuals engaged in cleaning and janitorial professions face 50,000 injuries each year, which makes the profession the 16th most dangerous in the United States.
If you are a custodial worker who was injured on the job, you are likely facing numerous unforeseen obstacles including hefty medical bills and lost wages. Fortunately, our work injury lawyers have helped many workers injured on the job obtain fair compensation for their injuries.
Electrical shock. Many custodial workers deal with electrical equipment including floor buffers, power tools, and vacuum cleaners. While using these objects, workers are at significant risk of being shocked, particularly when the equipment is used around spills.
Ergonomic injuries. Many custodial workers experience back and shoulder injuries. One of the reasons for many of these accidents is that custodial workers frequently engage in repetitive motions.
Exposure to bloodborne pathogens. Custodial workers are often required to clean things that carry infectious diseases. Unfortunately, many workers are not properly trained in how to handle these materials safely and are also not given adequate safety gear by employers. Some of the diseases to which custodial workers can be exposed included Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and Human Immune Deficiency Virus (HIV).
Exposure to hazardous chemicals. Many custodial workers use strong chemicals, which can damage a person's internal organs if adequate safety gear is not worn or if the chemicals are improperly handled. Other chemicals including floor strippers and solutions can burn a worker's skin or cause rashes. Regulations created by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration also require these hazardous chemicals to be properly contained and stored because failure to do so can expose workers as well as others to deadly substances.
Falls. Many janitors and other custodial workers are depended on to keep surfaces safe from becoming fall or trip hazards for others. When workers maintain icy, slippery, or wet floors, however, there is a risk that workers will fall while maintaining these surfaces. While employers are required to provide workers with adequate footwear to prevent these accidents, they do not always do so.
If you are a janitor, housekeeper, or another type of custodial worker who was injured on the job, you likely are now facing many complications including serious injuries and lost wages. Fortunately, our workers compensation lawyers have helped many workers injured while on the job. Contact our law office today to schedule a free case evaluation. We know what your rights are, and will remain committed to fighting for the best possible conclusion to your case.
Our worker's injury lawyers assist clients throughout all of Massachusetts including, but not limited to, those in the following counties, cities and towns: Plymouth County, Brockton, Plymouth, Bridgewater, Marshfield, Hingham, Duxbury, Wareham, Abington, Rockland, Whitman, Hanson, Holbrook, Middleborough; Norfolk County including Quincy, Stoughton, Dedham, Weymouth, Braintree, Avon, Holbrook, Randolph, Canton, Sharon, Brookline, Franklin; Bristol County including New Bedford, Fall River, Taunton, Attleboro, Westport, Dartmouth, Mansfield, Easton, Raynham, Lakeville, Norton; Cape Cod, Hyannis, Falmouth, Barnstable and the Greater Boston area including Cambridge, Somerville, Medford, Everett, Lawrence, Lynn, Revere, Dorchester, Roxbury. | {

Asian Agri-History Foundation (AAHF) is a not-for-profit, charitable Trust established to facilitate the dissemination of information and knowledge concerning the agri-history of Asia, and thereby to promote research on sustainable agriculture globally. AAHF believes that the available knowledge of Asia's ancient and medieval agriculture should be widely disseminated to promote sustainable agriculture that is likely to benefit the current and future generations.
AAHF publishes a Quarterly Journal (starting 1996) to disseminate ancient and historical information and knowledge regarding agriculture in Asia. As a Publisher, AAHF publishes the guidelines for preparing, accepting, publishing and retracting of articles; and will strive to maintain the integrity of the Foundation's objectives. AAHF will publish corrections, clarifications and retractions as and when needed; and ensure avoidance of plagiarism and use of fraudulent data. AAHF will also avoid conflicts of interests involving its Trustees/ Officers, including Editors.
Editors should be responsible for the material published in their journal, and. ensure that the needs of journal, readers and authors are met; strive to maintain the integrity of the journal and enhance the quality of publications; and be willing to publish any corrections or modifications as found necessary. Editors should respect freedom of expression, and also not use any information from the papers submitted without expressed permission from the authors. Editors should also take measures to avoid conflict of interest when reviewing or publishing papers from AAHF Trustees/ officers, and take appropriate measures when ethical complaints are made regarding a submitted manuscript or a published paper.
Reviewers must treat the manuscripts received as confidential documents, and the information obtained through the review process must be kept confidential and not used for personal purposes. Reviews should be objective, and review commentsneed to be clear with supporting statements, to facilitate the authors to improve the paper during revisions. Reviewers should alsoavoid conflicts of interest that may arise from relationships or connections with any of the authors, or institutions connected to the papers.
Authors responsibilities include an assurance that the materials in the manuscript is their original works, and acknowledge properly if any materials and/or results of others have been used. AAHF strictly prohibits any kind of plagiarism as it constitutes unethical publishing behavior. Authors should avoid submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously, and should also not submit manuscripts with essentially the same research to more than one journal. Authors should prepare manuscripts unambiguously and clearly so that the readers are able to follow the procedures/ methods. Use of fraudulent data/ information and wantonly making inaccurate statements are also unacceptable since they also constitute unethical behavior. Authors submitting review articles should ensure that the manuscript is a comprehensive and accurate accounts of the ancient knowledge or the current state of the art. It is the responsibility of the corresponding author to ensure that all co-authors have agreed and approved the final version of the manuscript and its submission to AAHF for publication. | {

Expert Roundup: 7 Experts Reveal Their First SEO Mistake!
SEO is one of the most difficult subjects in the digital world. Search Engines evolve daily and Search Engine Optimization does too.
Every SEO has made some mistake or the other when they first started out. So, I thought that I'd ask them about their first big mistake and how they recovered from it. If you are just starting out, check our SEO for Beginners blog. Hopefully, it will help.
So, without further ado, let's jump right into what the experts have to say!
Member of the TKO Graphix marketing team, Under the Radar rock band. Author of The New Manager's Workbook.
What was the single biggest mistake as a rookie SEO that you made?
How did you recover from the mistake?
I continue to do what I call deep edits – going back and adding keywords to old posts. I only have 355 to go!
I'd recommend Yoast to anyone, so they don't make the same mistake.
SEO agency based in London. They eat data for brunch whilst watching graffiti on the TV.
One of my biggest rookie errors was not communicating to the client that position #1, for every term that we discussed, was not a realistic expectation.
We took them through the potential search volumes and it appeared that our client (at the time) expected to achieve position 1 across all of the terms. Indefinitely. As you can imagine, once we learned that this was their expectation we scrambled to do as good as we could.
However, the client's expectations were unfortunately set and they were clear that this was our overall target and we had to deliver. Needless to say, the team and I were scrambling for the next few months.
We tried to reset the client's expectations but unfortunately by this time they had been set. So we had nothing else that we could do than try to deliver. The client's retainer was small, very small by memory.
It was the agency's first SEO client. So we threw everything at it. Literally the kitchen sink. I had three guys working on this account, the site was large and the industry (automotive parts) quite competitive. We went to work optimizing all of the pages, fixing the technical issues (which again were plently) and link building.
Days and days of link building. It turned out that we achieved some really high positions for the client but not across all of the keywords that we had identified.
The moral of the story and a huge learning curve for us was to make sure that expectations were set correctly at the start of the campaign. Oh, and never to assume that a client understands exactly what you mean. We are now very thorough.
I often got CEO and SEO mixed up when I first started in this industry. The first day of the job, I took my first client call and introduced myself as the new CEO person here at [insert agency name].
Whilst that isn't my biggest mistake, I thought that would be funny to share. Hannah (my co-host) is always having to help me out with pronouncing the hard to say words). In my early days, I would read about the best practices for SEO/Google and sometimes end up on focusing on the wrong thing.
For example, one tip I read was that Google liked websites that weren't stagnant but had regular fresh content. Therefore I thought it was best to focus on getting as much fresh content as possible on websites, meaning that the quality of the content was sometimes neglected. BIG MISTAKE.
To help ease the pressure of writing all this content, I would outsource to other writers. As long as it seemed to make sense I would publish, once I had optimized it for keywords etc. I neglected to check whether what was being said was factual.
I would pass content where grammar/structure could have been improved. I didn't even think about checking for duplicate content issues, as I just wanted that content on the site.
I knew there was a problem when I saw a dip in website traffic. There was only one thing for it, I needed to look at the content, take data from Google Analytics and be brutal. I got rid of pages that really weren't doing anything for my site, especially content that wasn't really relevant.
Content that was driving traffic and ranking, I asked myself what could I do to improve? I looked for opportunities where pages could be combined, to make a super bit of content. Pages that had a high bounce rate/exit rate and low avg. time on page, I had to decide what to do, as these factors could mean that the content was not answering the user's intent.
I basically learned the hard way that I should have been focusing on was quality over quantity. It was far better me spending time, creating, researching and developing one bit of amazing content that blew the competition out of the water, rather than lots of mediocre and rubbish articles.
Don't be a fool like me and take one bit of advice as gospel. Whilst the advice wasn't wrong, Google does like fresh websites, I didn't think about other factors. Yes, aim to have a website that is regularly updated but also that content has to be of high quality, factually correct, etc. I went all guns a blazing on the wrong thing. I should have done a bit more research or cottoned on sooner.
Sometimes in the SEO industry, especially when you are new, you want to be seen as someone who knows what they are doing. You don't want to ask for help (I have been there), but that is how you continue to learn and be better – Learning from each other and learning from mistakes!
I didn't build links at all. The truth is- I was scared. Because everywhere online I read how Google's Penguin is on a quest to exterminate link building and how, if you build even one link or it looks like you built it; then you're irrevocably doomed no matter what else you do.
In two ways: I decided something needed to change I had a tonne of luck And the second factor was more important to me. You see, I knew that I needed to change my approach, but I wasn't convinced that links were that effective and I knew how hard they are to get.
But I still bit the bullet and just tried.
I submitted to HARO. It's very easy to do and requires very little time investment. I remember thinking at the time: "I'm probably going to fail, so I shouldn't waste too much time with this".
And the result? Lo and behold- I got a link. But not just any link. THE link from prdialy.com which is a mega authority site (DA- 65; DR-79) I was stumped and I wanted to jump to the sky with excitement. It was my first link and one from an insanely strong domain.
I made my subheads different colors. Mistake: Links are different colors. Readers would get confused. They'd click on my subheads expecting them to take them somewhere.
I didn't make my links "Open in new tab." Mistake: Taking them off your page will hurt your Bounce Rate.
I didn't include a meta description. Mistake: You've got to get your focus keyword in your meta description and include a hook so people will click.
I used "solutions" as my tag. People don't Google solutions. They Google How to fix… not just the word "Solutions".
I didn't do keyword research. I just assumed I was picking terms people would need help with.
What was my biggest mistake? These are all equally bad!
Over time, I've gone back into my posts and improved the tags and meta descriptions. I've changed the image tag so it had the focus keyword. I've made sure my site is optimized for speed so my SEO would be higher than lower.
Only 1 H1 Tag, My keyword in my subheads (at least one), use of LSI keywords to avoid keyword stuffing, Use of the Yoast SEO plugin.
I link internally so I boost the SEO of my older articles. I link out to authority sites so Google knows I have a credible blog.
I follow the backlink strategies in this article: https://www.mostlyblogging.com/best-backlink-builder-strategies/. I use it as a checklist of hacks.
I post often so Google's bots are always crawling my site.
If you think of SEO as 3 parts, only 3 parts, you'll find it much easier. Part 1: Find high-volume keywords words. Part 2: Find low competition keywords Part 3: Beat your competition for the keyword by making sure your Domain Authority Ranking is higher than theirs. If you can find a keyword with those 3 criteria, you'll have SEO success and boatloads of organic traffic.
Hmmm… My biggest mistake as an SEO rookie?
It was a link building tactic – using press releases to seek backlinks.
I wouldn't know if anyone still tries to get backlinks by doing press release today. But, it burnt my fingers when I did it.
The funny is, I spoke with one of the PR website agents. She told me the campaign might not get me as many links as I was hoping to get. I was unrealistically optimistic that my content was awesome. Why wouldn't websites use it and link to my client?
My client reached out a few months after our first 3 month SEO campaign ended. The previous campaign was a success, they ranked for more keywords and got more leads at a relatively low budget.
He came for me to develop a link building strategy to meet up with a particular competitor. I did a competitive analysis to know the depth of our target' backlinks profile. I was able to sell the press release idea to him considering the volume of backlinks we would need to meet up.
He bought the idea considering the cost versus volume of links we could get at a go (I chose a popular package that had a list of about 100, 000 sites and publishers).
I put the team to work. We created good content based on data from a research by a reknowned global organization. Of course, we created infographics too.
I deployed the press release. Sat back and was waiting till the end of the month at least to see backlinks swell…. grrrrrhhh…. But, it never happened.
Backlinks actually increased (as a result of few brand mentions and social shares from the release). But, it was far from the expectation I created.
I did paid infographic submissions from my pocket for him. I also help list his site on niche platforms where the particular competitor was well known.
We didn't achieve our original goal of gaining quality backlinks in thousands, if not hundreds of thousands from getting sites and publishers to use our release and then link to us.
But it ended on a win-win note for all and our relationship wasn't damaged.
I would really like to know if anyone has used a press release to gain a reasonable number of backlinks recently. Kindly share if you have a similar experience where link building strategy went bad. I would love to learn from you.
I was too concerned with how to rank – keywords, meta descriptions back in 2007.
I ignored the experts and focused on the basics – what would others want to read and building an online community.
Focus on creating valuable, authoritative, well-written content relevant to your audience and a technically correct website, not keywords or trends. Then get it in front of your audience through effective social media marketing.
Everyone makes mistakes now and then. Don't let the mistakes drag you down. Rise above them and keep being awesome.
I hope that this blog helped you. If you are just starting out, I guarantee that these insights will put you on the right track. On a personal note, my advice is that you connect with these experts now. Trust me. It helps a lot.
Do you have incidents of your own that you would like to share? Leave a comment below, I'd love to hear them.
Thank you for accepting my small contribution. I hope people find value in what my fellow marketers and I said.
Thank you for your continued support. You are truly a great friend and your contributions (however small you may make them out to be) have a huge impact on my life. Looking forward to working together many many times more.
Keep being awesome, and Cheers!

Last weekend we went to a haunting old prison in Philadelphia: Eastern State Penitentiary. A prison that once housed Al Capone in a relatively comfortable cell.
The place itself is half derelict and depression and hopelessness seep out of the walls. After a couple of hours of taking pictures, we had to sit in the sunshine to feel warm again. It has taken me a good few days to get the feeling of cold and spookiness out of my bones!
These photographs are really good and I can imagine the atmosphere there!
I look forward to visiting various places around the US when I finally become an expat there!
thanks for the comments – where are you moving to here? There are so many places to explore – it is as if each state has it's own unique personality to get to know.
Even after 3 years, the size of it is still bewildering! | {

Welcome, one and all, to my Patreon!
Here, I create fantasy & sci-fi illustrations that you can use in your own projects! They might be a bit dark, they might be a bit hilarious. They might even be a bit normal. Beware!
Every month I create characters or creatures, items and places based on short texts, which are yours for the taking. These are a mixed batch of sketches and illustration in either color, greyscale or ink. You may use these creations in your commercial projects. I do ask of you three things.
I. That you credit me somewhere for the illustrations you use.
II. That you do not re-sell the illustrations.
III. That you do not crop them to kingdom come, removing any semblance of cohesion.
Do you use my art in a project of yours? Let me know and I'll add a link to it here!
As a freelancing fantasy artist and illustrator time is often in short supply. Therefore I've set the bar as it is at the moment. It's important to me that you feel secure in what you wish to pledge and while everything is subject to change, nothing will be done without notifying my patrons first!
Standard release date of creations (if nothing else specified): While I release art throughout the month, there will be a compilation on the last day of the month in a charged post.
You'll receive the illustrations I create, which you may use commercially in your own project. | {

Q: How to show streamed input with 'less' I'd like to use journalctl -f and pass that content into less for the following reasons:
*
*Horizontal scrolling for long lines (instead of line wrapping)
*Easy vertical scrolling
So less works fine with static content (like a file or terminated streaming data), but can it also work with unterminated streaming data?
I'm looking for something like this:
journalctl -f | less -???
If I try this now, less will wait and not show any data until I press Ctrl+C, then it will show an empty file.
Edit: This is not about tail -f – tail can only read files from disk, not streaming data piped in from stdin.
Edit2: It's not just about journalctl alone. I'm using JSON output with -o json and pretty-print that using jq. This will be part of the pipeline, but was left out for simplicity of this question. If I can stream anything into less, I can also insert a formatter into the pipeline.

Singing for society
Poet/singer/songwriter Simma delves into the question: when is a choir not a choir?
Mark Deeks decided after 20 years of leading and arranging that he wanted to do his own thing in music, and started from the principle that singers and audiences get the most from performing when the songs mean something to them as a group, or as individuals.
Given that the word "choir" had connotations of dull school halls and dusty churches, his project, Sing United, would be called a community singing group, and rather than the standard West End hits and pop classics, would sing pieces and play venues that connected them to a cause, a theme, or their home.
"The meaning of and the story behind the songs is the first and most important part of any Sing United show," says Mark. "Finding songs with the right lyrics and meaning that people will identify with is the first step."
The first sign that it was the beginning of something special came when almost 100 singers applied to join Sing United in the first two days.
The idea that music can either do good or be good is a widely accepted myth, if the history of terrible charity records we've put up with over the years is anything to go by, but Sing United are a glorious exception, being a genuinely top-class choir and contributing to society in tangible ways. Their first major project was based around the River Tyne and raised funds for the RNLI. Songs were chosen for their connection to the river and its surrounding communities. Some of the relationships between choir members and the theme ran generations deep.
The original idea soon took on a life of its own and expanded far beyond what Mark Deeks had initially expected. Fundraising also soon transcended the usual buckets and stickers, as members started making things to raffle and sell. The community aspect of the project blossomed, raising thousands for the charity and performing at Tynemouth Priory and The Discovery Museum in Newcastle. Their Power To The People show resulted in a huge donation of funds and food to The People's Kitchen, while This Land Is Mine saw them not only raise funds but find time to visit elderly people at Manor House care home in Whickham, Gateshead.
Make no mistake, this is no "aww didn't they do well" setup. This choir is seriously good, musically engaging and interesting, and its unique outlook sets it apart from other groups.
The latest Sing United project focuses on mental health and, as usual, it's a matter close to the group. Mark says: "Musicians have long been able to use their songs as an outlet for their feelings and their struggles, and in turn, these songs have often become something of a support network for fans across the world. I thought it was important for Sing United to make a musical contribution to the mental health of our region."
I for one can't wait to see where they go next.
Always On My Mind is performed at The People's Theatre, Newcastle, on June 16. Tickets now on sale.

Three Sunday schoolers (Ambo, Islaw and Isko) were asked about their dreams in life.
We can give many good things to our neighbors such as food, clothes, education, and many others. These are all important things that we should give if we are able to do so. However, though they are all important, they only matter in this life alone. As Jesus had said, "What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?" (Mark 8:36 NIV).
Therefore, if we wish to give something significant to our neighbors, nothing can surpass about the faith that we found in Jesus. For this will bring them life that they will surely treasure for eternity.
If you are willing to do it but do not know how, I am encouraging you to register for the upcoming Aim and Shoot Principle Training. We will teach you how. You may approach the C2S table this Sunday and join the next batch of people who will go for the dream of saving more souls for the Lord. | {

Scarlett Johansson Pregnant And Expecting First Child With Colin Jost
Scarlett Johansson Pregnant And Expecting First Child With Colin Jost. It would be safe to surmise superstar child season has shown up! In the first place, Nick Cannon was reputed to add his brood. Cardi B then, at that point, revealed that she is anticipating her subsequent kid, Bardi Baby No. 2. Colin Jost and Scarlett Johansson are having their first kid together, as indicated by reports. There are a ton of children!
One insider informed the paper, "Scarlett is in reality due soon, and I know she and Colin are thrilled," while another expressed, "Scarlett is pregnant however has been keeping it exceptionally calm." She's been attempting to stay under the radar." Johansson's pregnancy was initially suspected in June when she neglected to show up on a few limited-time occasions for her new picture.
"She hasn't been doing numerous meetings or occasions to advance Black Widow, which is odd given that it is a huge Marvel/Disney delivery and she is both the entertainer and a chief maker," the source noted.
Scarlett Johansson & Colin Jost have some big news – they're expecting their first baby together!https://t.co/KLfq2R517i
— JustJared.com (@JustJared) July 7, 2021
The entertainer has begun doing limited-time appearances and meetings over Zoom rather than in-person commitment, most prominently on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on June 21. She likewise skirted a screening of Black Widow held by her co-star David Harbor in the Hamptons on Friday, which incorporated an after-party at Mariska Hargitay's house. Given that Johansson and Jost own a property in Montauk and are continuous guests there throughout the late spring, their nonappearance appears to be particularly odd. "Scarlett ordinarily spends her summers in Amagansett and Montauk, where she might be seen walking her canines on the seashore or purchasing coffee. But apparently, she is attempting to stay under the radar this late spring," a Hamptons source expressed.
This would be Johansson's subsequent youngster and Jost's first. With her ex Romain Dauriac, the entertainer has a six-year-old little girl named Rose. The couple met on the arrangement of Saturday Night Live in 2006, however, they didn't begin dating until May 2017, when they were captured kissing at a show after-party. They disclosed their relationship in December 2017, and after three years, in October 2020, they wedded in a "calm, private service" in Palisades, New York.
Delegates for Johansson and Jost didn't quickly react to the demand for input.

NGC 1317 (również NGC 1318 lub PGC 12653) – galaktyka spiralna z poprzeczką (SBa), znajdująca się w gwiazdozbiorze Pieca. Galaktyka ta należy do Gromady w Piecu.
Została odkryta 24 listopada 1826 roku przez Jamesa Dunlopa, a jego obserwacja została skatalogowana przez Dreyera w jego katalogu jako NGC 1317. 19 stycznia 1865 roku galaktykę obserwował też Julius Schmidt i błędnie uznał, że odkrył nowy obiekt. Błędu tego Dreyer nie zauważył i w oparciu o pracę Schmidta skatalogował galaktykę po raz drugi jako NGC 1318.

Sexual crimes on campus
November 9, 2013 by Archived posts 1 Comment
By Angel Lizardi |Staff Writer|
Male and females are subjects of sexual crime. Between the ages of 18 and 25, one in four women and one in eight men are likely to be victims of sexual crimes.
According to The Center for Public Integrity, fewer than 1 in 20 completed and attempted rapes against college women are reported.
Candy Stallings, Executive Director for the San Bernardino County Sexual Assault Services (CSAS) described in an e-mail why the victims are more inclined to keep quiet about what they have been through as opposed to telling anyone.
"People are afraid of being blamed because of the stigma and societal norms that have been indoctrinated in us," said Stallings.
The SBAS responds to reports of sexual assault 35 to 40 times a month. This has been a national issue, and many students are starting to take legal action.
According to Aljazeera, current students and alumni at Occidental College, a private university in Los Angeles along with high profile attorney Gloria Allred, threatened the University with a civil lawsuit with accusations that the university had mishandled previous sexual assault and rape cases.
"The person who raped me had been found responsible for raping three women, yet he will be allowed to come back to Oxy in the fall," said student Carly Mee said in a news conference led by Allred.
"They are simply tired of seeing women being raped and sexually assaulted at the university while the administration shows deliberate indifference," said Allred.
On Monday Oct. 23, seven current and former students from the University of Connecticut also filed a lawsuit under Title IX of the Civil Rights Act, alleging that the university failed to protect against sexual assault on campus and to respond adequately after they reported attacks, according to Aljazeera.
Title IX ensures that institutions that receive federal funding must ensure that both men and women have equal access to education and must be free of sexual discrimination.
Many Universities have admitted that they have failed following regulations to protect students and are unaware on how to follow proper protocol.
Due to universities lack of regulation, recent studies have indicated that many of the offended were not suspended and were allowed to continue attending the University.
According to The Center for Public Integrity, Reed College changed its policies by having the students, faculty, and administration sign a petition for change.
According to national public radio (NPR) and the Center of Public Integrity, only 10-25 percent of male college rapists were expelled.
CSUSB is known as a commuter school however there are students who do live on campus are should be aware of what resources the university has.
CSUSB has a committee known as the sexual assault response team known as the SART, whose mission statement reads, "the team's mission is to provide a proactive response to campus sexual assault issues and to ensure that everything reasonably possible is and will continue to be done to prevent and respond to sexual assaults on campus."
The San Bernardino County Sexual Assault Services has a 24/7 hot-line which offers free short and long term counseling.
The number is (909) 227-6901 and their website is sbas.gov.
Students fire back
CSUSB retains prestigious business accreditation

Q: number of integer solutions to $2x_1 + x_2 + x_3 = n$ I'm working on a problem for which I need to efficiently compute the number of integer solutions to equations of the form $x_1 + \cdots + x_k = n$ with some subset of $\{x_1, \dots, x_n\}$ equivalent.
For example, the problem stated in the title: $x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + x_4 = n$ with $x_1 = x_2$
I know how to find the number of integer solutions to such an equation without the added restraint of equivalent variables. I'm also familiar with adding restraints of the form $x_i \geq m$. But I don't see how to adapt that method here.
In my combinatorics book, similar problems are tackled using generating functions. I believe that the generating function for my equation would be:
$$(1+x^2 + x^4 + \cdots)(1+x + x^2 + \cdots)^2 = \dfrac{1}{1-x^2} \dfrac{1}{(1-x)^2}$$
But unless there is a way to put this into the form $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n x^n$ and thus recover $a_n$ I don't see how to make use of it.
Ideally, I would like to find a method that works for $2x_1 + x_2 + x_3 = n$ and which can also be extended to cases with more variables and different subsets of equivalent variables.
A: Use partial fractions:
$$\eqalign{
\frac1{1-x^2}\frac{1}{(1-x)^2}
&=\frac1{(1+x)(1-x)^3}\cr
&=\frac18\Bigl(\frac{1}{1+x}+\frac{7-4x+x^2}{(1-x)^3}\Bigr)\cr
&=\frac18\Bigl(\frac{1}{1+x}+\frac1{(1-x)}+\frac2{(1-x)^2}
+\frac{4}{(1-x)^3}\Bigr)\cr
&=\frac18\sum_{n=0}^\infty\bigl((-1)^n+1+2(n+1)+2(n+1)(n+2)\bigr)x^n\cr
&=\frac18\sum_{n=0}^\infty\bigl((-1)^n+7+8n+2n^2\bigr)x^n\ ,\cr}$$
where we have differentiated
$$\frac1{1-x}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n$$
to get
$$\frac1{(1-x)^2}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty nx^{n-1}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+1)x^n$$
and
then
$$\frac2{(1-x)^3}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty n(n+1)x^{n-1}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+1)(n+2)x^n\ .$$

Q: How to create a donut ring with 4 equal segment in css? I am trying to split the ring into 4 equal segments. This donut ring is clickable on all parts of the segment. But when I am trying to change the skew it cannot make them equal and actually in current donut ring there is a double line on the top segment left and right border. The top and bottom segment is quite bigger compare to left and right segment.
This code snippet is what I have tried working on.

Malcolm T Stamper
Name Malcolm Stamper
Full Name Malcolm Theodore Stamper
Born April 4, 1925 (1925-04-04) Detroit, Michigan, U.S.
Died June 14, 2005, Seattle, Washington, United States
Education Georgia Institute of Technology
Malcolm Stamper (April 4, 1925 - June 14, 2005) was the longest serving President in Boeing's history and was best known for leading 50,000 people in the race to build the 747 jetliner. Stamper grew up in Detroit and joined Boeing in 1962 after working for General Motors. His first assignment at Boeing was to sell its ailing gas turbine division to Caterpillar. Following this success, Boeing president William M. Allen asked Stamper to spearhead production of the new 747 airplane on which the company's future was riding. This was a monumental engineering and management challenge, and included construction of the world's biggest factory in which to build the 747 at Everett, Washington, a plant which is the size of 40 football fields.
In 1978, Stamper was one of only a dozen U.S. corporate executives to earn over a million dollars.
He served as president of the company and a member of the board of the directors from 1972 until 1985, when he became vice chairman of the board. During the 1969-70 recession, Stamper presided over the laying off of nearly two-thirds of its 101,000 employees. But by the late 1970s, the 747 was a huge success. By the time Stamper retired in 1990, Boeing seemed to face no serious threat from McDonnell Douglas or from European upstart Airbus. He predicted that the company would remain No. 1 for the foreseeable future.
He also served on boards at Nordstrom, Chrysler, Travelers Insurance, Pro Air, the Seattle Art Museum and the Smithsonian Institution.
After retiring from Boeing, he started a children's book publishing company.
Stamper was the grandfather of Jay Stamper, an entrepreneur and unsuccessful contender to become a nominee for the US Senate in the 2014 South Carolina Democratic Party primary.

Information and Accessibility
The Palazzo Mansi National Museum
Mansi Palace is located in the city center of Lucca and dates from the late sixteenth century and was acquired in 1616 by the Family Mansi who performed an internal restructuring in the Baroque style in contrast to the austerity of the exterior features. The two wings at right angles to the central nucleus dates back to the nineteenth century, with a single ramp staircase leading to the first floor in a gallery overlooking the garden.
The museum has been located in this luxury building in 1965 when it became the property of the State and was completely renovated. In 1977 was inaugurated the National Art Gallery. Were later recovered the original furnishings, frescoes and tapestries on the walls. Interesting are the frescoes on the ceilings of a boardroom. Of note, the Bridal Chamber with the original alcove and fabrics of silk embroidered 700.

and it all started with design.
My given name is Gary Law and I am web developer originally qualified in graphic design but now with over 14 years of experience in front-end and back-end development and a natural obsession with current trends, standards and best practices in code and design.
In more recent years I have been dedicated to a few specific teams yet my inquisitive and adaptable nature and ability to quickly assimilate new skills when required has resulted in a diverse set of responsibilities within these teams. Now I all these skills are part of the package that I offer to any new project.
The Technologies I Work With.
The multitude of previous responsibilities has resulted in a wide range of knowledge in technologies, languages, environments and general workflow utilities. Here you can see an overview of those that I work with now and have experience with.
Those that I generally favor and primarily work with today.
Those that I have worked with in the past and revisit when need be.
Those that I look forward to using in commercial projects.
Just a few of those that are part of everyday workflow.
Looking over my work history will give you a more in depth view of the projects I have worked on and the consequential exposure to technologies.
I currently work mostly as a remote developer but respect that sometimes you just need to be there and so I am always happy to consider projects that require some on-site collaboration and communication. I am happy to give free consultation to talk about your requirements so get in touch.
I am very comfortable with, and probably most experienced working as an integrated member of a development team yet I am very happy to bring my development and architectural experience to hand with a crazy startup or just smaller projects that would require more direction.
Due to the fact that I could be working in various parts of the world at any one time it is always best to make contact via email so if you wish to talk about a project please do that. | {

Q: Fix overscan for HDMI output to HDTV in Xubuntu I am using an old laptop running Xubuntu 16.04 as a media center.
However, I cannot seem to properly fix the overscan that occurs when using my 1080p HDTV as the display. I am NOT using any proprietary display drivers.
I am aware that some TV's have overscan settings of their own. I have already done my research and found that my TV has very limited options for changing the overscan settings (its an inexpensive Seiki TV). So I need to adjust the display settings within Xubuntu. In Windows, I have the same problem and I usually have to scale the display about 70% for it to fit correctly.
I have tried several solutions using xrandr, but none have worked. Most solutions I have found online simply destroy the resolution and even the mouse borders.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Zenith Pro Wrestling presents Carpe Diem
Zenith Pro Wrestling presents Carpe Diem 550 Views
Carpe Diem: Seize the Day. To live in the moment because every day might be your last. It's a phrase that has survived for over thousands of years. At Zenith Pro Wrestling presents Carpe Diem, many will follow this phrase and seize their dreams. For some, it's for a Championship. For others, it's a victory over a longterm rival. All of them have one thing common. They WILL Seize the Day.
-To start off the show, we have a match that has been in the making since the very beginning. To be specific, the very first match in Zenith Pro Wrestling history. It all started when Holt Haven ran his mouth instead of focusing on his match. Sharknado Boy surprised his opponent with a roll up and picked up the victory. Since then, Holt Haven has been making life hell for the boy with the fury of several sharks caught up in a tornado. At Carpe Diem, the two will finally have their long awaited rematch.
The underdog has picked up the victory over Holt Haven before. However, Holt has become a lot more determined and ready to give it his all in this rematch. Will Holt Haven be succesful in his rematch and finally have his revenge? Or will Sharknado Boy once again pick up the win over the reborn Holt Haven?
-Out of all rivalries in Zenith Pro Wrestling, none can quite match the bizzare factor of Miguel Mesias and Amsel Von Kaiser. After running into eachother on the first episode of Zenith Pro Wrestling, Miguel mistook him for Von Kaiser from Punch Out, and immediately challenged him two a match at the next show. While AVK won that match with a distraction in the form of a sexy dance from a Von Bouncer, but like Sam I am, Ciber kept coming back to challenge Von Kaiser time and time again. The two have already traded wins, but it will all come to a head at Carpe Diem when Miguel Mesias and Amsel Von Kaiser have round 3.
These two are none to be scoffed at. Despite appearences, these two are among the best and brightest that Zenith Pro Wrestling has to offer. There's no easy way to tell what will happen when these two step in the ring. After all, these two men could easily be main eventing the show. The fact they aren't goes to show just how big of a night we have in store.
-Making his debut on the first show in the middle of a match, Conga (not to mention his lovely assistant, Autumn Breeze) hasn't exactly been ZPW's most modest talent. In fact, he's already made an enemy in ZPW's own Le Gentleman Masque, and his sidekick, Lexxy Moore. These two teams will finally square off in a mixed tag team match.
Both of these teams have worked well on their own. However it's time to put their teamwork skills to the test. Each team is looking for a victory and a chance to push them closer and closer to bigger and brighter things. Will the combination of LGM and Lexxy manage to outsmart the dancing duo, or will the superfriends once again find themselves danced on by the team of Conga and Autumn Breeze?
-Last show Skyler Altus gave some shocking news to the world of Zenith Pro Wrestling: what once was a match between Cole Scorpio and Jordan Larsson was cancelled after the release of the Detroit Dragon. However, Skyler offered to give him a match at Carpe Diem. Jordan accepted the match and Carpe Diem, it will be the clash of two wrestlers who have been here since the beginning. The dream match of Jordan "Goldeneye" Larsson and the former "Extremist" Skyler Altus will become a reality.
These two have had almost equal experience in federations, and both look to make the climb to becoming the face of Zenith Pro Wrestling. Carpe Diem might just be a step in the right direction to make that dream come true. Will "Boston Bettah" Skyler Altus be able to pick up the victory over his fellow long term wrestler, or will Jordan "Goldeneye" Larsson get the upper hand?
-Terrorists. Is Jade Andersen one? Who knows, but it's something Betty Goddard is convinced of. So much so, that Betty has made it her personal duty to stop Jade Andersen and expose her for being one. Finally, after having to put up week in and week out with Betty causing her trouble, Jade Andersen and Betty Goddard will get to fight eachother at Carpe Diem.
This will no doubt be a hard fought match between two brawlers. The question is, who will pick up the victory? These two women are both new to AES, and so there is a sense of unpredictability about what to expect. Which of these two women will walk away with the victory at Zenith Pro Wrestling's first major Pay-Per-View event?
-Of all the new talent in Zenith Pro Wrestling, it's clear that one has really stood out since his debut. Kwon Sung Young, the K-Pop Sensation, has been on a roll since his debut with wins over big name AES stars. El Beardy, Richie Stevens and SAPW's Perseus Watson just to name a few. However, his triple threat victory against El Beardy and Richie Stevens has been not without controversy. His pinfall victory over Richie Stevens came after Beardy had hit him with the Beardy cutter, only for KSY to throw him out of the ring and pick up the victory.
However, at Carpe Diem, KSY will be given a chance to silence his "haters" when he has his rematch against The Iron Man of Professional Wrestling. There's nowhere to run for Kwon Sung Young. Will he be able to pin Richie Stevens like last time, or will Richie get his revenge on "KSY"?
-Tomas Ramirez versus Andrew Adonis. Two standout AES stars with mixed martial arts backgrounds. It was only inevitable that the two would run into each other eventually. Combined with their contrasting personalities, this match has been in the making since the beginning.
Now, at Carpe Diem, watch as these two clash in a special Mixed Martial Arts match. All Pride rules applies. On card, these two may be even, but who will be the one to pick up the win?
-After disappearing from the wrestling world for over a year, Chelsea Eckhart made her big return. Unfortunately, her return was interrupted by the debut of one DH Pierce, who came down to the ring to beat Chelsea up. DH Pierce had made it her goal to end Chelsea Eckhart's fun loving ways.
At Carpe Diem, their match has been made official and these two will finally meet in the ring. It's the ROSE dream match that never happened, now made a reality. Will Chelsea Eckhart stop DH in her tracks, or will DH Pierce make Chelsea the first victim in her wrath of destruction?
-The first title crowning of the night will be between Adeline Prideux and Aurora Rivers for the Zenith Pro Wrestling Women's Championship. Over the course of the past few years, these two have become two of the biggest female stars in Armbar Error Society to have never won a championship. However, that all ends at Carpe Diem.
At Carpe Diem, one of these two will pick up their first championship, as well as be known as the first ever Women's Champion in Zenith Pro Wrestling history. Their wait has finally come to an end. Will it be Aurora Rivers or Adeline Prideux who walks out of Carpe Diem as the new Women's Champion of ZPW?
-Lord Duister and Baldomero have made their intentions clear since the second they stepped into ZPW. It is their goal to destroy everything and everyone, and establish themselves as the most dominant force in AES. It all started on the first episode, where the two titans made waste of EL HNNNGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH. While they began to beat him up after the match, one person has gotten in their way and aligned himself with EL HNNNNNGHHHHHH. He is none other than Magical Mask Z, and he wants to take down the foreign fiends.
These two alliances have been at each other's throats since the very beginning. They both want nothing more than to see that their opponent lose as brutally as possible. The question is, who will be able to do it? Which of these teams will be the one who goes the extra mile and pull out the victory?
-Finally, the match that will be the star attraction of the night. At Carpe Diem, our first World Champion will be crowned in an Elimination Chamber match. We have six wrestlers, 4 chambers, and one title for the man who manages to survive it. Our six competitors are as follows:
From the earlier days of AES, to its modern day incarnation, he is Grover Tatum. At one point, Grover was seen as one of the biggest stars in the world of wrestling before his leave. Grover held a reputation to him as one of the top performers of AES to have never held a World Championship. Now, at Carpe Diem, he will have his first shot since he has returned to the world of wrestling to seize the Zenith Pro Wrestling World Championship.
In his big debut in 2012, Tyler Rykren made a name for himself by beating Viktor Zangief in his last match ever. Since then, Tyler has gone fed to fed always finding a place near the top of the mountain. At one point, he was speculated to become the biggest star in AES. Despite that, however, Tyler has never once held a World Championship in AES. Tyler's chance for redemption will be in the main event of Carpe Diem. Should he beat the six other wrestlers, he will finally make his biggest impact in Armbar Error Society since his victory over Viktor Zangief.
There is no doubting the credibility of Derrick Brizen. Having been in wrestling since MWAT and with several world championships in his name, Derrick Brizen is, on paper, the most decorated challenger of the six. Time and time again, Derrick Brizen has proven that you should never count him out. At Carpe Diem, should he have the right game plan, could very well manage to walk out with yet another accomplishment to his name as the first ever World Champion of ZPW.
There is no man in AES that is quite like Estramir Mastern, no matter how hard they might try. Although his last world championship was as old as MWAT, he was at one point one of the biggest stars in AES with an unstoppable title reign in SCW, not to mention the first person to beat Munch for his world championship. It has been far too long since he has held a title. At Carpe Diem, he will get his first chance in years to face off for the World Championship. Should he play his cards right, after three long years, a world championship could very well be in Estramir's grasps again.
To think that a newcomer to AES would make it into the chamber was shocking enough, however not many were able to predict that @ZappKanon could be the one to step into the chamber. The #verified villain shocked the world of AES when he managed to step into the chamber, however there is no way to doubt @ZappKanon's credibility, having beaten five other wrestlers to earn his spot in the chamber. @ZappKanon had shocked the world to make it into the chamber, and should the stars align, @ZappKanon could very well shock the world again and be the one to become the first ever Zenith Pro Wrestling World Champion.
Lastly, having been revealed on the final show, Osakan Destroyer has already managed to make waves in the ZPW World. Arguably AES' current top star, he has been around since the reboot of AES in 2011, and a top name ever since. It was only at Renaissance last year, however, did Osakan Destroyer become known as one of Armbar Error Society's main event talents, when he defeated Groudon to become the last ever World Freestyle League World Heavyweight Champion. Now, at Zenith Pro Wrestling's Carpe Diem, the fan favorite has his eyes set on becoming ZPW World Champion. Many see him as the favorite to win at Carpe Diem, and with his record, it's hard to argue otherwise. Everyone knows he has what it takes to become ZPW World Champion, but the question is, will he do it?
Which of these six competitors will be the one to walk away as the first ever World Championship in Zenith Pro Wrestling? Tune in and find out.
-Plus, "Interviewer and Acting General Manager Assistant" Elliot C confirmed at the last show that the pay-per-view will feature the debut of the mysteriou ZPW General Manager. Who has been the one pulling the strings this whole time? Will it be Sterling Pierce all along?
...Nah. He's in jail. It will definitely be somebody else.

Automation and the Future of Revenue Optimization
In addition to being more collaborative, the revenue team of the future will be more data-driven, with analytics being an increasingly crucial skillset. Of course, more data doesn't automatically mean better data — but it can with the help of the tools that automate growing numbers of revenue functions. "Leveraging big data and automation and machine learning and AI is the future for all of us," said Alex Cisneros, senior vice president of revenue generation for Red Roof Inn. "We need to invest in resources and technologies and make sure that we're partnering with the right company."
For Dave Roberts, a lecturer at Cornell University's School of Hotel Administration and formerly senior vice president of revenue strategy and solutions for Marriott International, automation isn't about replacing revenue professionals. "The revenue management system of the future will not be this data dump of information and all these different dashboards," he said. "The revenue management system of the future will make the life of a revenue manager much easier. It'll automate a lot of stuff that they're doing today, but it'll help them make the decisions that they have to make so it's seamless."
Ten to 20 years ago, revenue optimization was an early adopter of data and machine learning, according to Cross, CEO of Revenue Analytics, "but it was always billed as, 'Oh, this is decision support. We still need you, smart person, to make the decision.' But today, when algorithms are capable of doing things like driving cars, why couldn't they price the hotel?
"There's an opportunity for the field of revenue management to say: Let's automate things like pricing and inventory," Cross said. "The machines are good at that, so let them do it, and let's use people for what they're good at, which is being creative and imaginative and coming up with new strategies that haven't been seen before."

From there on, I went back to daily routines, to earn a living for my family and to enjoy the pleasures of the world. I knew God would forgive, so I would go back to him when I needed, I had no reason to depend on him, I had all that I wanted.
I was now a big man, with my children all grown up, living the luxurious life, all of which were a reason of my own efforts, no one helped me, I don't think God did either. Just like every other day, I prepared for my evening nap, when I saw a creature, with an angry face approach me, holding me by my neck, wanting to take my life away.
In a terrified voice, I asked? Who are you?
Angel: Oh Man, God has sent me to accomplish the task I have been created for. I have been told to inform you that your "appointed term" has come to an end, and today, is your return to God. | {

SCHOOLS UNDER DEBATE: State of funding reform? Status quo
Sun |
Tim Christie — Oct 27th, 1997
Motions made to alleviate funding inequities in Washington's Legislature lack statewide support.
l By Tim Christie
There's not much in the way of consensus when it comes to sweeping changes in the way Washington funds its schools.
Take the constitutional amendment on the Nov. 4 ballot known as HJR4208 that would allow school levies for up to four years, instead of two.
To get on the ballot, it passed the Republican-controlled Legislature by wide margins. Most observers expect it to pass. But the measure has drawn opposition from those who fear it will reduce school districts' accountability to voters.
Beyond that modest proposal, there appears to be no groundswell for significant changes in the way Washington's schools are funded.
There's a lot at stake -- nearly $9 billion for K-12 education in the 1997-99 biennium, accounting for 46 percent of the state general fund.
Educators have their own ideas, but that doesn't mean the Legislature will go along.
For instance, school districts would love to change the 60 percent majority vote required to pass school levies to a simple majority. But the idea has gone nowhere in the Legislature in recent years. Rep. Bob Oke, R-Port Orchard, said earlier this year that 1997 marked the last time he'd introduce a bill to remove the 60 percent majority requirement because, he said, "I can't get people to listen to me."
Three of every four dollars spent by school districts come from the state. About 14 percent comes from local property taxes, and federal sources account for about 6 percent of local revenues.
The state distributes money based on formulas tied to enrollment.
Districts that want to spend more than what state provides can ask voters to pass special levies. Over time, most districts have come to depend on levies, which becomes a problem when voters decide their taxes are too high and repeatedly reject the levies, as has been the case in South Kitsap.
But while South Kitsap, Central Kitsap and Bremerton all had varying degrees of trouble with the routine levies earlier this year, lawmakers aren't hearing any great urgency to make changes to the levy system.
"It's not a statewide problem; it's a peninsula problem," Rep. Tom Huff, R-Gig Harbor and a chief budget writer, said in May.
Rep. Pat Lantz, D-Gig Harbor, told the Bremerton Area Chamber of Commerce in July, "I can't get any sympathy from anyone else in the state because this isn't a statewide issue."
By many accounts, Washington's system of school funding is among the fairest in the country.
Washington ranked 21st in the nation in the amount it spent on students in 1994, according to a U.S. Census Bureau survey released last month. The survey, conducted for the 1993-94 school year, the most recent year available, found Washington spending an average of $5,338 per student, ranked slightly below the national average of $5,363.
"The system for funding the schools is probably as equitable as any in the United States, with the possible exception of maybe Hawaii," said Dan Reff, retired finance director for Bellevue schools and expert in school finance.
But it could stand some changes, according to educators and school supporters.
"I think it needs to be redone," said Gary Powell, Central Kitsap's assistant superintendent for business and operations.
"It needs to be looked at in total, and not piecemeal. What happens over the years is, the Legislature looks at little pieces like special education or vocational education and kind of loses perspective of what the whole funding formula is supposed to do."
School districts with high assessed values can get around shortfalls in state funding by running big levies. Mercer Island voters, for instance, pass levies that account for 34 percent of their school budget. Central Kitsap has a hard time passing levies that account for 13 percent of its budget, Powell said.
When a tax-rich district such as Bellevue or Renton runs a levy, the amount it needs per thousand is far less than what Bremerton or Central Kitsap need to raise the same amount.
Put another way: To generate the average levy amount of $917 per student, Seattle residents would pay 96 cents per $1,000 of assessed value, while Bremerton residents would pay $3.37 per $1,000.
The state accounts for the disparity of tax bases by providing what are called levy equalization funds to tax-poor districts.
For example, if a poor district needs to run a levy at $2.75 per $1,000 of assessed value to generate funds equal to 10 percent of its budget, and the average school district needs only $2.25 per $1,000, the state will make up the 50 cent per $1,000 difference.
Silverdale lawyer Russell Hartman, who's running for the Bremerton school board, is among those lobbying for change.
He maintains that schools are more dependent on levies now than in the 1970s, when the Seattle School District brought its suit against the state for failing to uphold its constitutional duty to fund education.
Hartman's "global" solution would be for the Legislature to cap levies at 5 percent of a district's revenues and increase state general fund spending on basic education to make up the difference.
He wants the Legislature to remove education funding from the constraints of Initiative 601, which limits increases in state spending to the rate of inflation.
Short of those politically combustible ideas, Hartman supports some of the "incremental" funding ideas, such as increasing levies to four years and dropping the 60 percent majority requirement.
But Hartman sees a problem with the piecemeal approach.
"Each of these incremental steps are steps making it a little easier to rely on the levy system," he said. "The more we rely on levies, the more problems we have with uniformity and equity."

Dammit, I want Kano to win.
He won't, of course. Everything Jarek touches turns to failure.
That's true lol. They should have teamed up Kano and Kabal. But Kabal will probably be with Stryker.
The real question is why isn't Kitana teamed with Jade.
Are the teams posted somewhere or am I missing something? And is every character going to be placed in a team?
Also I already have one complaint about this poll, Why the hell is Kitana teamed with Sindel and not Jade? Kitana and Jade seemed like an obvious team to me.
So are the tag teams somewhat random as well. Sub-Zero could be easily be paired with those who interacted with him throughout his story, ie: scorpion, noob saibot, smoke(I really hopes so), sareena etc.
Kano & Jarek, Sindel & Kitana. These are supposed to be RANDOM tag teams!? <br/> <br/>Random would be writing down the names and picking them out of a hat. I thought that the so called 'semi' randomization in the original contest was dodgy, but this is clearly rigged. <br/> <br/>Random would be Shinnok & Jarek, or Darrius & Kitana, or Shujinko & Scorpion.

well, although they COULD do 32 teams and still have an even bracket (there are 64 characters, afterall) by that point, you'll be REALLY getting thin on putting teams together.

Aw, Ermac lost. Oh well. I'm just proud he made it that far. Sub-Zero rules!
.. i think there are heaps of options which will make a few things interesting.
But unless you make a voting option that allows users to pick who they would like a particular charcter to be paried with (so you choose Meat, then a list of 63 charcters appear and you pick the one you think wopuld make a good team..... ) and do this for EVERY character (which would take alot time) then have a mediator then select those winners for this tornament, and hope there arn't any collisions (which means the mediator would have to then choose the second most selected match up for that character) or the other matched character's favorite team selection from users isn't different and is matched to each other THEn you might get a fiar tornament... But to be honest, to program that, organise that and sort that is just rediculous. So i believe that this is interesting and will be fun to see someone elses selections for MK team match ups.
Sub always wins these things. <br/>A few years back was a thread where users ranked fighters outta 10 and the average was the score. Each day a new fighter was picked until all 64 were voted. <br/>Sub won with like 94/100 beating Kahn 92/100 <br/>That was sorta biased though cos SZ was the first to be voted for and the thread hadn't really taken off yet.

AngelList is trying hard to stay in love with the problem they set out to solve when they first launched: "How do we help founders (globally) focus on what matters most, which is building their company and products, and spend less time fundraising?" You can sense that they have made this problem a core value at AngelList.
We argued that cross-border angel investing would not be possible without online platforms like AngelList, bringing both sides together (founders and angels), yet maybe more importantly without a trust & expertise based syndication model that aligns everyone's interest, removes significant friction in the decision process ("emotional friction") and ultimately building technology and processes to close the transactions ("physical friction"). Among the new stats shared by Kevin during our talk, he said that 10% of the capital invested online on AngelList was from outside Silicon Valley, while only 3% of completed fundraising online was for companies outside of the US. The new fund will definitely give a huge boost to the foreign capital percentage number above, unless they classify it as a US fund, event though it is backed 100% by Chinese capital.
Kevin placed the number of startups on AngelList at approximately 300,000 with 30,000 or 10% of them being in fundraising mode at any one time. In one sense, the odds of being "discovered" on AngelList are much better than they were in the Apple Store as of June 2015. There were over 1.5M apps, but the syndication of your round by a well known angel investor in Silicon Valley remains your best shot to stand out (kind of your equivalent to being featured by "Apple" in the store). The interesting bit for me was that this was still holding true for foreign companies trying to fundraise on AngelList. Kevin used the example of Descomplica, a Brazilian online education startup that raised $5M in February 2014 from Social+Capital, and used a syndicate led by my friend Lee Jacobs, a local angel investor with ties to Brazil, to ignite the fundraising on AngelList. Lee was also the very first to do a syndicate on AngelList so he gets pioneers' points in my book :). Kevin also makes a very important point on the video below…you can invest anywhere but you might not be able to get your money back everywhere! Let us not forget that over 80% of technology M&A deals happen in Silicon Valley (buyer or seller is located there) and the last time I checked, corporate sales were responsible for 95% of the return of capital for VCs.
You can find a "meerkat" version of the interview here for now and I will upload a professional version from beGlobal as soon as it becomes available.
Some dubbed it the world's largest seed fund and it sure is an impressive amount, but read the fine print. You realize that the investment thesis is broader…you are talking about investing in top startups (based on their metrics and syndicate leads) not just in Silicon Valley, but globally with the ability to do pro-rata and access later stage opportunities too (which are now facilitated even further due to their new SPV product). As I mentioned on stage, it takes a "Chinese billionaire" to have the humility to say "I do not have access to Silicon Valley deal flow, nor may I have the skills to vet it, but I sure can get some of the smartest people in the business to discover, vet, and syndicate some of their best deals for me, as well as secure access to follow-on funding via pro-rata rights and SPVs." I am convinced that many institutions and family offices that invest in venture have been asking themselves why they did not think of it before, how maybe they just needed a lead to follow.
This is by far the most significant announcement AngelList made that day for the future of AngelList.
If fundraising is among the top pain point of founders, recruiting talent is probably way up there as well, so it is only natural that AngelList spends a significant amount of time and capital improving its job marketplace product. It will also over time become a very strong competitive advantage and barrier to entry as "startup" skills and know-how are in very high demand across the world. There is also a very natural and synergistic relationship between fundraising and hiring since most $ startups raise goes to hiring more talent!
At BootstrapLabs we ask all our portfolio companies to create and maintain an up to date AngelList profile as a way of communicating with their stakeholders, including future employees.
Thank you to Kevin and the team at beGlobal for providing me with the opportunity!
So long and happy investing.

Republicans Won't Confirm Renowned Holocaust Scholar Deborah Lipstadt
Michigan Republicans announce voting restrictions ballot…
With Biden and Democrats taking energy, California poised to…
NRL 2021: Round 16 judiciary charges
By Evan Vega Last updated Jan 13, 2022
When Deborah Lipstadt was nominated last summer to head an expanded State Department office as ambassador to monitor and counter anti-Semitism abroad, the appointment seemed poised. Professor Lipstadt is a renowned Holocaust researcher, author of six books and an expert on contemporary antisemitism in all its forms.
"It's overwhelming that it hasn't been confirmed," says Pamela Nadell, director of the Jewish Studies Program at American University. "I thought fighting anti-Semitism was the only issue that wasn't partisan."
Lipstadt is one of hundreds of Biden appointed to Senate-confirmed positions and languishing in a GOP-imposed limbo — the worst partisan blockade of all time, according to the bipartisan Civil Service Partnership. The Republican foot-dragging at Lipstadt is believed to stem from a tweet she sent in March 2020 to counter GOP Senator Ron Johnson's claim that if the Jan. 6 rioters were Antifa or Black Lives supporters Had it been Matter, instead of Trump supporters "who love this country, who really respect law enforcement," he would have felt more threatened.
Lipstadt tweeted, "This is white supremacy/nationalism. Plain and simple."
This is possibly what Idaho Senator James Risch — the senior Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, where Lipstadt's nomination has stalled — was referring to when he told Jewish Insider last week that he was concerned about her past tweets criticizing Republican lawmakers . He told the Jerusalem Post that there was nothing "shameful" about the delay, that "we're going back and looking at everything the candidate said and did to make sure we're doing the right thing. It's still a work in progress."
He added: "It shouldn't be read by anyone as indicating a problem with her, a problem with the problem, or anything else." When asked if he had received a letter from 20 Jewish organizations demanding Lipstadt's confirmation as the next envoy to monitor and combat anti-Semitism, Risch said, "Yes, that's impressive — and compelling."
But he also said that "the candidate left an extensive trail of material that we are currently reviewing."
Lipstadt, 74, is a recognized authority on antisemitism, its history, rhetoric, language and symbols. Her 1993 book Denying the Holocaust led to a lawsuit by author and Holocaust denier David Irving under British defamation laws, which Lipstadt won after a lengthy trial in London. The 2016 film Denial, starring Rachel Weisz as Lipstadt, recreates the event.
Lipstadt has been Dorot Professor of Modern Jewish History and Holocaust Studies at Emory University since 1993. "I've known her for years, decades," says Pamela Nadell of American University. "There is no scholar in the United States who knows more about contemporary anti-Semitism than she does. Your nomination should have gone through six months ago. When it was announced my immediate reaction was slam dunk! I was just stunned that she didn't sail through."
Lipstadt was an expert witness at last year's Charlottesville trial against the white supremacists who marched with tiki torches at the 2017 Unite the Right rally. She testified that she saw "much blatant anti-Semitism and admiration for the Third Reich in the evidence" presented at the trial. She detailed the "replacement theory" of destroying white national societies that she saw "resoundingly" in Charlottesville, where protesters chanted, "Jews will not replace us." She described the march in Charlottesville as a "call to struggle."
Roberta Kaplan, an attorney for the plaintiffs, told the Daily Beast: "I have certainly never consulted an expert where the other side had little courage to cross-examine. When you were in that courtroom, the power of your testimony and the power of persuasion was so strong that it cast a shadow across the courtroom. And the jury, you could tell by the look on their faces, even with their masks on, they hung on every word. Some of them learned something. She made them understand what the Holocaust was and how it related to the Charlottesville event."
The jury declared that the organizers of the rally, self-proclaimed white supremacists and neo-Nazis, had to pay $25 million in damages. Kaplan, who lives in New York, said she thought the trial would be "all about racism, that people from rural areas don't even know Jews." Instead: "If you see what they say to each other, it's 85 to 90 percent about the Jews."
"Why are the Republicans blocking them?" asks Kaplan, clearly confused. "One would think they would want an ambassador who can express those views as clearly, persuasively and persuasively as possible. All you had to do was sit in that courtroom."
Senate Republicans are on trial to see if they can overlook a senator's irritation to validate a scholar who understands history and is not afraid to challenge those who dare repeat it. The best thing you can say about stopping the GOP at Lipstadt is that they are not alone. The Senate has confirmed 355 (out of 644) senior-level appointments to Biden. At this point in George W. Bush's administration, the figure was 505 (out of 677) and for Barack Obama it was 450 (out of 653). (Trump only nominated 555 over the same period, and he had a Republican Senate, so his stats aren't comparable.)
Part of the deadlock is an increase in Senate-approved positions because they signal more status. If confirmed, Lipstadt will have an Ambassador rank, unlike her predecessors in the role. The GOP is also doing what it can to slow down the Senate, says Lorna DeJonge Schulman, vice president for research at the Partnership for Public Service.
"In the past, a senator with a hold tried to make something of it. Now the goal seems to be to hold up the nominee and not allow the Senate to proceed."
With Lipstadt, it's a goal that could prove costly in ways the GOP might not have anticipated.

10 of the best business-related Reddit AMAs
BYBen Geier
November 13, 2014, 9:59 PM UTC
Reddit mascots are displayed at the company's headquarters in San Francisco, California April 15, 2014. Reddit, a website with a retro-'90s look and space-alien mascot that tracks everything from online news to celebrity Q&As, is going after more eyeballs, and advertising, by allowing members of its passionate community to post their own news more quickly and easily. REUTERS/Robert Galbraith (UNITED STATES - Tags: BUSINESS SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY) - RTR3LFPE

Reddit, the online bulletin board, calls itself the front page of the Internet. If that's true, than the Ask Me Anything subreddit is the society page — the place where famous people answer the public's questions (and inevitably say weird things and occasionally make fools of themselves).
But while the most popular Ask Me Anything's tend to focus on famous television scientists, actors from shows featuring dragons, and the leader of the free world, there are many business types who've taken to their keyboards to answer questions from Redditors as well. This afternoon, former Microsoft CEO and current Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Ballmer fielded questions. Here's 10 of the best Ask Me Anything sessions from people in the wonderful world of business:
This is one businessman who actually does rank high the list of most popular AMAs of all time — number three, in fact. The former Microsoft CEO has done two AMAs, but his most recent, from February 2014, is the most popular. A few of the facts we learned about the billionaire include that he loves playing bridge and that he thinks he would have been a physicist had he not founded Microsoft.
Perhaps the most telling answer he's given, though, was actually in the first AMA he did last year. When asked what should be changed in the world but can't be done with money, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation co-chair said "It would be nice if all governments were as rational as the Nordic governments - reaching compromise and providing services broadly. The Economist had a nice special section on this last week. Africa governments have often been weak but you can't write a check to change that."
Tim Berners-Lee
Sir Tim Berners-Lee
This name may not be as immediately recognizable to the general public, but he is the reason you can read this article — Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web, and he stopped by Reddit to chat earlier this year. One Redditor asked him what other names he considered for the WWW, and he listed Mine of Information, The Information Mine and The Mesh.
When asked about what the future of the web would look like, he said: "It is up to us. It is an artificial creation, as are our laws, and our constitutions ... we can choose how they work. We can make new ones. Our choice. "
Brian Krzanich, Intel
One thing differentiates this AMA from some others from politicians and corporate leaders — it is, at times, brutally honest (and honestly, brutal.) When asked how Intel missed out on the booming tablet market in his session in early 2014, Krzanich answered that "we wanted the world of computing to stop at PC's...and the world.. as it never does... didn't stop innovating."
He also took on commenters claiming that Intel doesn't take security seriously in light of the NSA scandal, saying the following: "First, let me be clear that Intel doesn't participate in the NSA programs described in recent news reports. Intel does not participate in anyone's efforts to decrease security in technology. We don't provide methods for unauthorized access to our products….we don't create back doors."
Emmet Shear, Twitch
This is another CEO who has done a few AMA sessions, but the most recent was three months ago — just before the video game streaming company was bought by Amazon. The deal rumors were heating up, so this was technically an AMAA — Ask Me Almost Anything — because Shear made it clear he couldn't comment on acquisition rumors.
Some of what he did talk about, though, was almost as interesting. Some users didn't like his answer to why Twitch streamed a concert from musical artist Steve Aoki, which had nothing to do with gaming, claiming it was clearly just a money grab.
"We secured the licensing for something we thought that the community would like as a test," Shear responded. "Aoki is a huge gamer and popular with Twitch, so we thought it would be a fun thing to do for everyone. Based on the community response, it looks like people enjoyed it."
The most interesting part of this AMA was the hostility shown toward Shear by the public— many of his answers barely showed up in the main conversation because they were down-voted, ie. given a bad review. Redditors can be fickle, for sure, but most AMAs don't get nearly this hostile.
Bob Metcalfe
Here we have another techie AMA. Bob Metcalfe, who co-invented Ethernet, has done two AMAs, most recently earlier this year. One interesting anecdote he shared? The reason he decided to call it "Ethernet": "The luminiferous "ether" was an omnipresent passive medium for the propagation of electromagnetic waves."
He also predicted that cars will be the next most big interface for innovation, and said that he, too, has felt the immense frustration of trying to plug an Ethernet cable into the wrong socket.
In his first AMA, he was also remarkably frank when talking about what good he thinks has come from the Internet: "The Internet reduces market frictions and expands freedom of choice. I give the Internet credit for everything good that has happened since 1969."
Jeremy Stoppleman, Yelp
Let's face it, there is one question this CEO was ALWAYS going to get if he participated in an AMA — how accurate are Yelp's reviews, and do companies pay for good reviews? He did answer, though not to the satisfaction of some posters.
"Certainly shady businesses or 'reputation management' firms do sometimes try to buy reviews," Stoppleman said. "However we are constantly pursuing them with our own undercover sting operations. When we find businesses guilty of trying to purchase reviews we warn consumers by posting a consumer alert on their page and revealing the evidence."
This was another less-than-friendly crowd. Lots of expletives were tossed at Stoppleman and Yelp, and there was a lot of dissatisfaction about the questions he wasn't answering, namely if Yelp told businesses that they would remove bad reviews in exchange for payment.
Russell Simmons, Def Jam

The hip-hop mogul took to Reddit in 2014 and answered questions about politics, business and music. He said he was still working on his efforts to get money out of politics, and that he loved going on r/hiphopheads, one of Reddits popular hip-hop subreddits.
Simmons also talked about some of the hardest times he had when he was starting Def Jam Records.
"Shipping records into a black hole where nobody would pay us. my experiences taught me about failure and quitting and I learned that there are no failures, only quitters," he said. "I see lots of digital stars who come to ADD having spent years building their base, who would never veer from their vision and that's inspiring."
Simmons was asked about the future of the music industry, and he said that he thinks major labels can still be relevant moving forward, as long as they innovate.
Ah, the Winklevi. The two twins gained notoriety for claiming that Mark Zuckerberg stole their idea in creating Facebook - and won a settlement. But only one of them was present for this AMA earlier this year. And, ostensibly, it was to talk about Bitcoin, an areas in which they invest. But come on. We all know what people wanted to know — how accurate was The Social Network, the hit movie loosely based on Facebook's origins?
Alas, Cameron Winklevoss didn't get into it, though he did admit that he has a Facebook account. He also said he hadn't sold any of his Bitcoins, that he was only holding and using them, not trading. And he acknowledged that those at home couldn't tell for sure that he wasn't actually his brother Tyler.
And yes, the thread was full of users quoting The Social Network.
Matt Mullenweg, WordPress
The co-founder of the content management system running the site you are currently reading did his AMA last year, and talked a lot about the impact of his company has had on the Internet.
He said that his favorite thing about WordPress is "when people I admire use it, from Jay Z to Zeldman. In many ways what we do like a canvas, and it's a huge honor to see the creativity and beauty people bring to it."
Mullenweg also discussed some of the things he'd like to change about WordPress, if he could:
"If backwards compatibility wasn't a concern I would rename all the inconsistent column names and variables to match our style guide, drop TinyMCE, simplify the user roles and capabilities system, replace widgets with page blocks, redo the admin menu system, denormalize the DB, flatten dependencies and deep hierarchy in function execution, and completely reorganize the code so the bare minimum of files are included with any given request."

The ice cream man! The co-founder of the popular brand did his AMA in 2013, and yes, he said his favorite flavor — it's Cherry Garcia. And he likes chocolate dipped waffle cones and hot fudge.
He also said the following about how he and his company try to be eco-concious:
"Just being a decent guy. Regular people don't want to screw other people, and as a business, Jerry and I didn't want to screw other people. The way to not screw other people is to have your products Fair Traded." | {

How dogs think and act has been shaped by humans, new research says
Doggos run the gamut personality-wise, from protective Dobermans, to tenacious Jack Russell terriers, to sweet, derpy bulldogs. It turns out that breeding for these behavioral traits may have shaped our dogs' brains. A study published in the Journal of Neuroscience on September 2 found that brain structure varies from one dog breed to the next, depending on the traits selected in developing each breed.
The research "capitalized on a data trove" of high-resolution MRI scans of dog brains, David Gutman, an associate professor at Emory University School of Medicine and study co-author, tells Mic. The scans, collected by study co-author Marc Kent at the University of Georgia's College of Veterinary Medicine, showed the brain structures of 62 purebred dogs from 33 breeds whose owners had brought them in for neurological exams but ended up being healthy.
Statistical analyses revealed that the variations in the sizes of some brain regions were greater than what the researchers would have expected due to chance. Gutman's team considered whether body size, brain size, or skull shape could also account for variations in brain structure, but, again, they were greater than what could be explained by these physical constraints alone.
The researchers identified six brain networks, or "spots of the brain that seem to get bigger or smaller together," Gutman explains. Each network was associated with a specific set of traits: drive and reward, social interaction, smell and taste, smell and vision, navigation, and fear and anxiety. Gutman and colleagues saw correlations between the structure of these brain networks and the behaviors selected for in each of the American Kennel Club's breed groups.
For instance, the dog's brain network involved in navigation was proportionally larger than what you'd expect due to random chance in sight hunting breed, which include greyhounds and Weimaraners. Meanwhile, the anatomy of the network involved in vision and smell was proportionally larger in dogs bred to assist the police and military, such as Doberman pinschers and boxers.

But Gutman notes that the dogs in the study were just pets, meaning many didn't do what they were originally bred to do. (Nowadays, you don't see too many dog parents training their corgis to herd sheep, or their golden retrievers to fetch waterfowl.) "The wiring is still there," though, Gutman says, citing his cousin's herding dog, who often nipped his human's ankles, as an example. Presumably, then, if you trained dogs in the behaviors for which they were bred, the variations of specific brain networks from breed to breed would "get even bigger."
He and his colleagues have begun a follow-up study to analyze brain scans from dogs that actually still do what they were bred to do. In doing so, they're expanding on the sample size of each breed in the Journal of Neuroscience study, so they can draw conclusions about specific breeds, not just breeding groups.
Through the just-published findings, "we can begin understanding how our brain is structured," Gutman says. For instance, the joy you and your pupper experience when you do something nice for each other may correlate with the reward pathway in your brains, conserved across several species. Humans and dogs have always shared a special connection, but the findings reveal that the connection runs deeper than you might have originally thought.

Will Ronnie catch Steve Davis all time career titles ?.
by Ronnie79 » 15 Sep 2018 Read
Just looking for your opinions Davis has 83 professional titles the Rocket currently has 66 do ye think he can overtake him ?. Remember the Seniors events are counting as non-ranking events so I think he has a great chance. Discuss
Re: Will Ronnie catch Steve Davis all time career titles ?.
If he plays long enough and if Seniors titles do count, then yeah why not....
Like Andre said, it all depends on how long he'll keep on playing. If he only plays for 2-3 years, the answer is no.
If he stays on tour for another 5 to 10 years, then he'll definitely do it.
A lot of Davis' 'title wins' don't count. They were Matchroom Events where only two or three other people turned up.
Not really a record that's worth a second thought, let alone beating.

What events are these ?. Matchroom events were staged fielding all Matchroom players. I'm sure that was only one or two events a year not like he won 20 of them

I thought Davis had 73 titles?
If he continues playing, and to the standard he can produce there's no reason why O'Sullivan won't eclipse Davis' tally whatever it may be, but will he want to keep on going if takes a while?

John Higgins, Barry Hawkins, Neil Robertson, Kyren Wilson and Mark Selby all have some of the qualities that the older generation have.
I mean just simply cutting a ball (usually a black with a difficult cut) just simply and with a straight line in and not caring about the world any further when no-one would believe they could do that. And to do that consistently. That´s was what the older generation players were all about, and that´s, I would argue, still is something the fans are actually coming to possible see.
It could be good for the sport if Ronnie and Joe Perry, the two greatest ball hitters at the moment, would have some lengthy battles against those players. Difficult to judge very precisely how those matches will go on. And then there are Junhui and Mark Williams and many others also on the mix. It´s just important that the likes of Selby and Kyren will not be playing out of their comfort zones. Using those qualities they have that the older generation have or had isn´t doing that. Neil Robertson is someone who is having all fine if his hair cut is fine. But even still he´s still a man to beat on the table. And John Higgins is even better than him.
So might be, but still overally seeing John Higgins as the best players there just currently is. John´s just an another class. With almost anyone else it is that no promise is never kept. They said that something should be funny but why they are not any smiling or laughing then? That was a promise. Holding perhaps a half day if even so long. So they have something else brilliant on their minds already now. And I am sure they will be telling me what it is then.......
And I am glad that Gary Wilson is once again back. That job always was his at the first place. Those sad little t..... couldn´t come up anything decent without him. Or even with him but at least it is a job now. They born like that, they grew up like that. They already now are what their parents are. So that´s Gary´s job. To be at least informative when they have come in to the age.. Ok.

Vodka, u seem to think that World Titles are all that matter in determining greatness.
If u don't mind, can u please answer a few questions so I understand your reasoning better:
1. If Ronnie wins another WC, will u consider him the GOAT ?
What if he ties Hendry at 7 WC ? Is Hendry still the GOAT or does Ronnie needs to win 8 ?
2. Pele has won 3 World Cups. Messi and CR7 have none. Can they be ranked among the top 10 all time or not ?
3. Michael Jordan has won 6 NBA championships. Bill Russell won 11 championships with the Boston Celtics, is he the GOAT of basketball ?
I don't understand Football or basketball very much.
I will answer the snooker question. I would give it to O'Sullivan if he tied Hendry's 7.
I would say winning a World Snooker Title is the same as winning a Grand Slam in Tennis.
Problem is there's 4 Slams a year, and only 1 Worlds per year.
Andre147 wrote: I would say winning a World Snooker Title is the same as winning a Grand Slam in Tennis.
So, as always, the answer is Ronnie can't be considered a great, unless he wins a Grand Slam in tennis.
What is a CR7?

It's what they call Ronaldo. It's his initials and shirt number.
That and the postcode area of Thornton Heath.

2 events a year for 7 years is 14 and Davis won the majority of them
yea they were staged with only matchroom players and a few wild cards but point is Ronnie has won proper events and not even bothered with rubbish Out.

Premier League was pretty dull. Due to the shot clock, and the fact you could get a draw.
They don't mean as much as proper ranking events, but I think they count more than the ones Davis played. Just personal opinion.
Ronnie didn't have to adapt his game at all for the Premier League which gave him a huge advantage, he said this himself in an interview.

It should have been like 'French Cricket'. 5 seconds a shot and Drago should have been invited...
What's French cricket?

It's played with a tennis racket mate, you'd love it!
The version I played is where you have to constantly hit the ball and run. The ball can be bowled at your wicket even if you aren't back at the crease!
I say he won't. He only plays in meaningful events so I don't see him getting 17 more. He won like 2.5 per year on average so would need more than 6 years playing well. | {
