China's Xi urges Japan to put aside "distractions" in relations | Daily Mail Online
Published: 07:07 EST, 8 July 2017 | Updated: 07:07 EST, 8 July 2017
BEIJING, July 8 (Reuters) - Chinese President Xi Jinping urged Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Saturday to put aside "distractions" that have strained bilateral ties and warned that China was unwilling to compromise on Taiwan, state news agency Xinhua said.
"Noting that the China-Japan ties have been distracted by complicated factors despite some positive exchanges between the two sides, the Chinese leader said there is no room for compromise on the issues related to history and Taiwan, and Japan shall honour its words in these respects," Xinhua said.
Adding to long-standing tensions, China said last month a Japanese citizen was being investigated for harming national security, following a similar case in May in which China said six Japanese were being questioned on suspicion of illegal activity.

The corn meal from supply 12 is mixed with the liquid components from supply 14 which constitute approximately 15% by weight of all of the components in the final dough mixture to form a liquid corn meal mixture in mixer 16 and then the dry premix from mixer 10 is mixed with the liquid corn meal mixture in a vertical mixer 18 to produce a uniformly blended pasty dough. This dough is processed through an extruder 20 at approximately 250 RPMs, under heat at approximately 335-350° F. and under steam pressure to produce a porous, expanded, puffed mass which is bound together in the form of an extruded rope. The puffed mass in the form of an extruded rope is passed through a series of rotating knives 22 at approximately 50 RPMs, which cuts the mass to the desired shape; i.e., animal and bone-shaped and size of the resulting puffed core matrix. The moisture content in the puffed core matrix drops to approximately 6-8% within 1-2 minutes after extrusion.

Tennis: Baghdatis under threat of having to exchange service for the army | Sport | The Guardian
Baghdatis under threat of having to exchange service for the army
Wednesday 25 January 2006 18.52 EST First published on Wednesday 25 January 2006 18.52 EST
Marcos Baghdatis thought that Cyprus would "be going crazy" and he was probably right. Certainly that small area of the Rod Laver Arena to which his Australian fan club has acquired the rights this week went potty. They may not understand a huge amount about topspin forehands and sliced backhands but they know what they like: their beloved Marcos.
It has been an extraordinary tale as the ebullient 20-year-old, a former world junior No1, catapulted himself to the forefront of the world stage with a series of performances to gladden the hearts of those who love their tennis players to be entertainers. Baghdatis is a crowd-pleaser, drawing them into his matches and rewarding them with unstinting effort, often brilliant tennis, and a lovely line in post-match charm.
His smile and enjoyment are infectious and although, not surprisingly, elements of tiredness crept into his game last night he held his nerve at the finish to reach the semi-finals of the Australian Open with a 6-4, 6-2, 4-6, 3-6, 6-3 victory over Croatia's Ivan Ljubicic, the world No8.
Baghdatis had previously knocked out Andy Roddick, the No2 seed, but in many ways this victory was even more impressive. Ljubicic was also playing in his first slam quarter-final but last year he had led Croatia to victory in the Davis Cup final. When Ljubicic won the third and fourth sets it appeared Baghdatis might be a spent force but he found fresh reserves of energy and produced fabulously struck winners under severe pressure.
There is a considerable Croatian and Greek population in this city so both players were loudly supported, something Baghdatis enjoyed rather more than Ljubicic: "I don't really like this wild crowd, even if it's for me. Sometimes it's not good for me, and it's not good for him if the people shout in the middle of the point or between first and second serves."
Like it or not, the noise made for a vibrant evening under the floodlights. Baghdatis found doubts creeping into his mind in the third set but he cleared them as the denouement approached, thrillingly fending off break points. "I said to myself, 'Don't miss a shot', and tried not to give him any easy chances."
The youngster, who began the tournament ranked outside the top 50, only eight places above Britain's Andy Murray, has only one day to prepare for a semi-final against the world No4 David Nalbandian, who defeated Fabrice Santoro with chilling ease 7-6, 6-0, 6-0.
Nalbandian, who beat Roger Federer in last year's end-of-season Tennis Masters Cup final in Shanghai, has never won a slam but is clearly in excellent form. Baghdatis beat the Argentinian on the indoor courts in Basle last year but it will be a huge task to raise his game again, although whatever the result the Cypriot is surely destined for the top 10.
His performances in Melbourne have shown no signs of the pressure his family say he is under because of the threat of being called up by the army in Cyprus, where it is virtually impossible to dodge the draft. "We are pleading with the military to give him exemption from the army," said his father Christos. "He is constantly given postponements from the ministry of defence regarding his draft. It is in itself a worry for our son."

javascript - JS: Distinctions between undefined value and Undefined type, as well as null value and Null type? - Stack Overflow
Would someone explain the difference between an undefined value and Undefined type, and similarly the same for null values and Null types?
Bonus: why do boolean, string, and number have values, types, and objects, and null and undefined have only values and types (no objects)? If "everything is an object", then one would assume we have objects for all available values, yes? Where's my Infinity and NaN objects?
javascript ecmascript-5 share|improve this question asked Jul 30 '12 at 12:40
The one is a type, the other is a value. There's not much to explain, I guess?
Here you have an answer stackoverflow.com/questions/5076944/…
I know that an undefined value is a "primitive value used when a variable has not been assigned a value." I think @Felix_Kling hit the nail on the head below, "what is the difference between value and type"? I suppose that's what I don't know.
– Leila Hamon
null and undefined are values. Coincidentally (or just a wise choice), their types are null respectively undefined, as defined null value/type, undefined value/type in the specification. This can also be shown by using the typeof operator:
typeof null     ; // "null" (in ES6) and "object" in <=ES5 (bug)
A value is associated with a type, which indicates the "kind" of a value.

2 So what is the difference between value and type? (I know that you cannot compare them, but you don't really explain how they relate to each other).
To give an answer to the question "What is the difference between a value and a type?":
Think of a type as some kind of category and a value is a concrete instance in that category.
For example, we have the type String and a concrete value would be "foo". There can be many different values of type String, but there are only one possible value for the Null and Undefined types, which are null and undefined respectively.
Section 4.3 of the specification is most helpful IMO. Here you find for example the information about strings and the difference between value, type and object.
NOTE: A String value is a member of the String type. Each integer value in the sequence usually represents a single 16-bit unit of UTF-16 text. However, ECMAScript does not place any restrictions or requirements on the values except that they must be 16-bit unsigned integers.
set of all possible String values. 4.3.18 String object
NOTE: A String object is created by using the String constructor in a new expression, supplying a String value as an argument. The resulting object has an internal property whose value is the String value. A String object can be coerced to a String value by calling the String constructor as a function (15.5.1).
It's similar for null and undefined, though they don't have equivalent objects. Why? For that you'd have to ask those who define that language ;)
If "everything is an object", then one would assume we have objects for all available values, yes?
A more correct statement would be "nearly everything is an object", primitive values are not objects obviously, but most of them have an object equivalent (which should actually not be used) and for the others we don't care. Fact is that JavaScript is mainly object oriented.
Where's my Infinity and NaN objects?
Infinity and NaN are values of type Number, so you could create Number objects, like so:
new Number(1/0) // Infinity
new Number("a") // NaN
but you rarely use Number objects anyway.
answered Jul 30 '12 at 13:40
Good morning Felix, thanks for your response. It still isn't clear to me the difference between a null value and a null type. How do you get a Javascript console to output these values?
1 As I said, there are various data types in JavaScript, for example strings, numbers, etc. Now, of which type would you consider the value null to be of? String? Number? If so, why? It does not seem to fit naturally to any of these types, that's why it has its own type, the Null type. They could have also decided to create a type named Special with the values null and undefined, but they didn't. You cannot list types and their values since some types (e.g. Numbers) have an infinite number of values. It does not really matter either, because in code, you only work with values.
@Felix_Kling That response really helped clarify the distinction, thank you so much. I'm going to ask some more questions on JSMentors to really make sure I understand this concept, and I'll post the link in an edit of this comment.
I'm glad I could help :) Happy coding!
just to rule that out. null gets treated as an object. Not everything in ECMAscript is an object. The "other side" are the such called "primitive values". Primitive values are, simply spoken, plain values which were not created by any Object constructor. For instance:
var prim = 23;
prim.foo = true;
console.log( 'prim is: ', prim, 'prim.foo is: ', prim.foo );  // "prim is 23, prim.foo is: undefined"
var prim = new Number(23);
console.log( 'prim is: ', +prim, 'prim.foo is: ', prim.foo );  // "prim is 23, prim.foo is: true"
Notice, that I explicitly cast the prim on the second snippet with the plus operator. The second we operate on such a "primitive value", ECMAscript (or more precisely, its engine) will convert that value into its Object representation internally anyway. So you point was actually pretty much correct, "everything is an object".
undefined is a defined value (even if it sounds silly):
'undefined' in window // true
whereas null is a type, which is just part of the language.
answered Jul 30 '12 at 12:50
4.3.11 defines the null value and 4.3.12 defines the null type. Would you mind explaining where in the standard number values are converted to number objects? I was looking at the plus operator and number sections, but couldn't find it. Thanks for taking the time to respond!

Assistant Chief Constable Bob Skinner's legendary cool is shaken when he's faced with the bodies of his wife's parents, who have been brutally murdered. At the death scene in New York state, Skinner's out of his jurisdiction, but he's not going to let that stop him shaping the investigation.Soon it's clear that there's a killer hunting down a group of men with links that go back to the 1960s, and that he's acting on instructions from highly placed sources. But just how high? Meanwhile, back in Edinburgh, Detective Superintendent Maggie Rose and her husband, Mario, divisional CID commander, could soon bring their days in the police force crashing to a halt. And Skinner's not on hand to give advice.

"Halfway through the Skinner series"
This is one of the weaker entries in the long Skinner series. My allocation of three stars overall generally agrees with the other ratings received up until now. I found that the story dragged somewhat, and that I had to listen in many small bites rather than devouring several chapters at a time. Since I'm going through most of this series for the second time, I can say that the quality of story and writing improves markedly after this book. As always, James Bryce's narration is outstanding, putting him up there among the very best of audiobook performers. More Less

South American leaders demand apology in Bolivian president's plane dispute | Fox News
South American leaders demand apology in Bolivian president's plane dispute
COCHABAMBA, Bolivia – South America's leftist leaders rallied to support Bolivian President Evo Morales after his plane was rerouted amid suspicions that NSA leaker Edward Snowden was on board and demanded an apology from France, Italy, Portugal and Spain.
The minister did not say who supplied the information and declined to say whether he had been in contact with the United States. But he said European countries' reactions were based on this information. Garcia-Margallo insisted earlier that Spain did not prevent Morales' plane from landing in its territory.
Morales' government has had a conflictive relationship with Washington.
It expelled the U.S. ambassador and agents of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in 2008 for allegedly inciting the opposition. The Andean nation restored full diplomatic ties with the U.S. in 2011. But relations soured again amid mutual distrust on drug war politics and hit an especially low point after Secretary of State John Kerry referred to the Western Hemisphere as Washington's "backyard" in April 2013.
In a joint statement read after the summit, the presidents also said they would back Bolivia's official complaint with the U.N. Human Rights Commission
"We're not going to accept that in the 21st century there's first, second and third rate countries," Correa said.
"The leaders and authorities in Europe have to take a lesson in history and understand that we're not 500 years behind. This Latin America of the 21st century is independent, dignified and sovereign."
Argentine President Cristina Fernandez said Latin Americans treasured freedom after fighting for their independence from Europe in the 19th century and then surviving Washington's 20th-century history of backing repressive regimes in the Americas.
"I'm asking those who violated the law in calm but serious manner, to take responsibility for the errors made, it's the least they can do," Fernandez said. "To apologize for once in their life, to say they're sorry for what they've done."

It's still unclear whether European countries did block the plane and, if so, why. French, Spanish and Portuguese officials have all said the plane was allowed to cross their territory.

Statement From Texas Tech - Texas Tech - Scout
Statement From Texas TechTexas Tech01/02/2010Inside are two signed affidavits from principal witnesses involved in the Adam James investigation prompted by complaints from the James family that Adam was abused on two separate dates following the diagnoses of a concussion.Attached are two signed affidavits from principal witnesses involved in the Adam James investigation prompted by complaints from the James family that Adam was abused on two separate dates following the diagnoses of a concussion.
The accounts here are different from comments made by coach Leach in the media. These statements were made by Steve Pincock, head football trainer, on Dec. 21, 2009, and team physician Dr. Michael Phy on Dec. 22, 2009, to the investigative attorney. Also, in the interview with coach Leach on Dec. 21 he confirmed these accounts. Further, Leach mentioned the abusive language addressed to Adam James and said "if I didn't say it I wish I had."
After coach Leach's conflicting recent media accounts of the treatment of James, the university asked witnesses to sign affidavits attesting to their original statements. These are those signed affidavits.

The system provides for analog/digital conversion for converting analog data from the sensor(s) into digital data, and triggers a procedure for storing of the data in memory. Periods of storing of the data in memory are automatically started and stopped. The system stores in memory a set of data for a datum period and has means for storing further sets of data in a memory. A set of data stored during a first period is compared with a set of data stored during a further period and one of the sets of data is selected for retention in memory in accordance with a predetermined algorithm. The retained set of data is compared with the datum set and differences between the datum set and the selected set are output.
