en | N/A | N/A | I was around 40 and I used to get tired easily. A friend of mine is a doctor, who suggested me to have anabolic steroids (TRT) Testosterone Replacement Therapy. He further explained me the whole thing about the procedure of the TRT and causes of the tiredness a. I got to know this was because of the low level of testosterone.
For many, TRT act as a free ticket to massive “juicing.” Allowing athletes to take TRT as drugs enable them to have as many steroids as they want it is because drug tests can only test the elevated levels of testosterone but it cannot determine the dose intake.
It has been a big problem in the fighting industry as fighters take a high dose of such steroids to gain more strength. He further showed me some videos on YouTube that explained how having steroid is good for some and having an overdose or those who go to gym or fighters or athletes take steroids which is a matter of concern as these drugs are not allowed and dope test make things clear.

en | N/A | N/A | The University of Alberta Press has published a new book entitled Government Information in Canada available in a downloadable open access version:
"Public access to government information forms the foundation of a healthy liberal democracy, but because this information can be precarious, it needs stewardship. Government Information in Canada provides analysis about the state of Canadian government information publishing. Practitioners from across the country draw on decades of experience and hands-on practice to offer a broad, well-founded survey of history, procedures, and emerging issues—particularly the challenges posed by the transition of government information from print to digital access. This is an indispensable book for librarians, archivists, researchers, journalists, and everyone who uses government information and wants to know more about its publication, circulation, and retention."
The editors are Amanda Wakaruk (University of Alberta) and Sam-chin Li (University of Toronto).
They explain that the book:
aims to document both the current state of government information in Canada and the “state of the discipline” of government information librarianship from a practitioner’s perspective,

The Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) is organizing @Risk North 2: Digital Collections, a one-day forum to be held in Montreal on November 9, 2018.
As part of that forum, Canadian institutions are being invited to submit proposals for 5-minute lightning talks describing major current digital preservation initiatives:
"Academic libraries, public libraries, national libraries, museums, archives, and any other organizations involved in the digital preservation of cultural and documentary heritage are welcome to submit. Presentations will be selected to reflect a diverse selection of initiatives that are building significant technical, organizational or policy capacity for the preservation of one or more types of digital content."
The deadline is September 20, 2018.

Ode to the Microfilm Reader
"Unlike a computer—even an old one—it was heavy and ungainly. It would not fit into a car, and it could not be carried by two people for more than a few feet. Even moving the thing was an embarrassment. No one wanted it, but no one wanted me to have it around either."
"The xkcd comic gets a laugh because it seems absurd to suggest microfilm as the most reliable way to store archives, even though it will remain reliable for 500 years. Its lasting power keeps it a mainstay in research libraries and archives. But as recent cutting-edge technologies approach ever more rapid obsolescence, past (and passed-over) technologies such as the microfilm machine won’t go away. They’ll remain, steadily doing the same work they have done for the past century for another five more at least—provided the libraries they are stored in stay open, and the humans that would read and interpret their contents survive."

Merger of Canadian Research Knowledge Network and Canadiana.org
The Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN) and Canadiana.org merged operations earlier this month:
"Merger discussions began in June, 2016 in recognition of a changed research environment and with the goal of building on the strengths and complementary activities of two of Canada’s most impactful content-based national organizations serving Canada’s digital research infrastructure. This merger allows CRKN and Canadiana to cohesively pursue a united and coordinated strategy that is envisioned and directed by member libraries, and works in partnership with research and memory institutions, funders, and other partners, broadening and expanding Canada’s vision and impact in digital scholarship."
CKRN is a partnership of Canadian universities that undertakes large-scale content acquisition and licensing initiatives to help its member institutions.
The press release announcing the merger provides some "quick facts":
CRKN has worked with Canadiana since 2006 to provide subscription access to the Early Canadiana Online (ECO) collection, which is a large collection of full-text historical content about Canada, including books, magazines and government documents.
Currently, 54 CRKN members have subscriptions to Canadiana Online or the ECO collection. CRKN members provide the bulk of Canadiana's funding through subscriptions and membership fees.
In 2013, CRKN and Canadiana collaborated on the Heritage Project, a 10-year initiative to digitize and make accessible online some of Canada’s most popular archival collections encompassing roughly 40 million pages of primary-source documents. This project was funded by 46 CRKN members.
The merger will leverage Canadiana’s certification as a Trustworthy Digital Repository (TDR) to support members in their own institutional digitization work.
As part of the merger, CRKN will propose By-Law changes at its next Annual General Meeting that would allow Library and Archives Canada (LAC), Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec (BAnQ) and Toronto Public Library (TPL) to qualify as CRKN institutional members
The merger allows CRKN and Canadiana coordinated representation as part of the Canadian National Heritage Digitization Strategy, which outlines a way for Canadian memory institutions to work together to digitize, preserve and make accessible Canada’s documentary heritage.
The merger allows for CRKN and Canadiana to pursue activities that further the preservation, digitization, access, and discoverability of content, as well as goals in the development of open access to Canadian content.

US Federal Courts Web Archive
The Library of Congress blog In Custodia Legis has a post today on the launching of the Federal Courts Web Archive:
"The Federal Courts Web Archive, recently launched by the Library of Congress Web Archiving Team and the Law Library of Congress, provides retrospective archival coverage of the websites of the federal judiciary. The websites in this archive include those of the Supreme Court of the United States, as well as federal appellate courts, trial courts, and other tribunals. These sites contain a wide variety of resources prepared by federal courts, such as: slip opinions, transcripts, dockets, court rules, calendars, announcements, judicial biographies, statistics, educational resources, and reference materials. The materials available on the federal court websites were created to support a diverse array of users and needs, including attorneys and their clients, pro se litigants seeking to represent themselves, jurors, visitors to the court, and community outreach programs."

Truth and Reconciliation Web Archive Launched at University of Winnipeg
"For six years the TRC documented one of the most vicious components of settler society’s colonial legacy of Indigenous erasure: the residential school programme. To trace the popular response to the TRC investigations, the University of Winnipeg, in collaboration with the University of Manitoba, the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation, and Library and Archives Canada has initiated a project to capture and record websites relating to the work of the TRC and responses to its Calls to Action. (...) Staff at LAC similarly archived websites of a national scope. These sites have been captured, described, and curated using the Internet Archive’s Archive-It service. This is a pilot project that envisions national participation. The NCTR will provide a hub to facilitate access to all current and future jurisdictions of the web archive."
National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation Opens at University of Manitoba (November 5, 2015): "The Centre hosts a massive database of its collections including: the materials from the TRC / testimonials from survivors of the schools / millions of records from federal departments and from Library and Archives Canada (records detailing how the schools were created and run; school admissions; school histories; administration records; photographs; maps, plans and drawings) / records from churches that ran the schools (student records; photographs; school newsletters; cemetery records; religious records; administrative records)"

en | N/A | N/A | Symantec Testifies Before U.S. Congress in Opposition to Wassenaar Arrangement Cybersecurity Export Controls
On January 12, 2016, Cheri McGuirt a rare joint hearing ofwas titled: Wassenaar – Cybersecurity & Export Control. Given the serious consequences this new international export control could have on global cybersecurity, it was no surprise that the hearing room was at overflow capacity. In addition to Symantec, there were an unprecedented eight witnesses testifying – including executind Mymantec and industry colleagues expressed strong opposition to the international Wassenaar cybersecurity export control, and urged the U.S. Government to renegotiate and narrow the definition at the upcoming annual meeting of Wassenaar nations.
The hearing, led by Subcommittee Chairs John Ratcliffe (R-TX) and Will Hurd (R-TX), along with Ranking Members Cedric Richmond (D-LA) and Robin Kelly (D-IL) focused on the detrimental economic and national security impacts of this new regulation. At the hearing, and in a rare showing of bipartisanship, every single Member of the Committees was sympathetic to our arguments that the regulation would harm cybersecurity.
In addition, at our urging, Congress has taken other actions including a bipartisan group of 125 Representatives sent a letter to President Obama’s National Security Advisor urging the Administration to send the export control rule back to Wassenaar to be renegotiated or heavily revised. We appreciate and support the U.S. Government’s proposal to eliminate controls on technology at the upcoming Wassenaar meeting. The hardware and software controls also should be eliminated as they would continue to hinder the ability of global companies to fully protect their own networks and customers and to stay ahead of future threats.
Vice President Cheri McGuire Discusses the Importance of IoT and Protecting Sensitive Data
Now is the right time to address the security gaps in the Internet of Things according to Cheri McGuire, . In an interview with the Indian Express, McGuire went on to note that there are numerous devices and applications being released and it is important to “ensure security and privacy are built in before [IoT] becomes ubiquitous like the Internet.” McGuire believes that it is easier and more efficient to build security technology into devices during the engineering phases instead of waiting until the device is released to the public.
McGuire also emphasized that insider threat protection is important, particularly after the Snowden revelations. Organizations have to be aware of “who has access to what data, keep logs, tag data to see if something is moving around.” People do not put a flash drive in the computer anymore, instead; individuals use wireless systems to transmit information. McGuire stated “that it does not matter which platform or device, as in the end it is about the data…and how the data is protected.”
Symantec is already the global leader in protecting IoT devices with more than a billion secured. And with IoT devices expected to top 25 billion by 2020, Symantec is leading the effort to protect consumers from hacks against their always-on, Internet connected devices. Symantec’s Internet of Things Reference Architecture provides a good starting point for securing the IoT.

Simmons and his surviving bandmate Darryl 'DMC' McDaniels were invited to be a part of the rockers' career-spanning set in January, joining forces with the MusiCares Person of the Year honorees to revisit their 1986 rap/rock classic, "Walk This Way."
"I was shook to my core...!" Simmons confessed on U.S. daytime show Strahan, Sara and Keke.
"When I first got the phone call, I was like, 'Oh my God, I haven't worked with them in years.' I was like, 'D, what are we gonna do?' He was like, 'Ah, don't worry, we'll just go and wing it.' I was like, 'Wing it? I got two weeks!'"
"I had to go to bed saying to myself over and over, 'You're not the only one gonna be on the stage...! You have one little part, you're gonna be Run.' But I couldn't get that in my head that I couldn't control everything, because I'm a control freak and a perfectionist.
"So I was scared up to the moment that I was out there with the mic and singing the song and I was like, 'OK, you can relax now.' But up to that moment, it was bad!"

While this document," The underlying concepts of the draft are fairly stable and we encourage the development of experimental implementations and prototypes so as to provide feedback on the specification. However, thP3P Specification [P3P] specifies an [XML] / [RDF] application that defines the structure, or grammar, of a P3P proposal. This document, the harmonized vocabulary, describes the terms that fit into the P3P grammar; this process is technically called the "semantic definition of an XML/RDF schema or vocabulary." For example, the P3P specification states that P3P statements must declare the purposes for which data are collected, this document specifies a list of six such purposes and their meaning.
Therefore, this document includes a base set of vocabulary elements useful for expressing privacy policies reflective of a diversity of privacy laws, self-regulatory norms, and cultural notions about privacy. This vocabulary can be used to express policies as diverse as anonymous browsing to the provision of personalized Web content and services. However, P3P implementations need not restrict themselves solely to vocabularies defined within this document.

en | N/A | N/A | Unlike short-term rainfall warnings, these long-term warnings may or may not include thunderstorms. Often, when we see these heavy one- or two-day rainfall events, they are associated with one of two things, both being areas of low pressure. Either we see a slow-moving surface low move through, bringing multiple rounds of rain and thunderstorms, or we see a slow-moving upper low that will typically bring a long period of steady rain. The one extra ‘ingredient’ that is brought into the mix, especially over western Alberta, is the upslope winds that can really enhance what would typically not be a heavy rain event.
This low, or series of lows, were slow moving or even stationary, and were able to tap into large amounts of moisture, both of which would have brought large amounts of rain on their own. Add the location of the low, which created a strong easterly flow of air that rose up along the mountains, and some regions ended up seeing truly epic amounts of rain and resultant flooding.
Luckily, these perfect conditions don’t come together very often but Alberta has, over the years, seen some big one-day dumps of rain. To try and put things into perspective I looked up some of the one-day rainfall records from across Alberta. |

en | N/A | N/A | In 1917 enlistment rates were insufficient to meet the replacement requirements for battlefield casualties. For example, in April and May of 1917, Canada took 24,000 casualties as a result of the fighting, while only 11,000 men enlisted in the same period. In response, Borden and his cabinet attempted to enact conscription. It is important to put this within context, in 1917, most of the Entente leaders assumed that the war would go past 1918, with Borden assuming the war would go into 1919, as the collapse of the Russians on the eastern front would allow Germany to focus exclusively on the west.
Still unsure about his capacity to win the 1917 election and subsequently secure conscription, Borden conceived of the wartime elections act, wherein the female relatives of servicemen were temporarily given the right to vote in order to ensure the victory of the pro conscription government. With the onset of conscription in Canada, the anti-conscription sentiment in Quebec began to harden, with a number of major anti-war and anti-conscription newspapers such as Le Réveil and La Liberté being censored by the Borden government. The conscription crisis reached a fever pitch in the summer of 1917, with the anti-conscription newspapers being censored by the government after calls for labour strikes, runs on banks and revolution. Anglophone pro conscription papers in Montreal, such as the Montreal Star, received a number of death threats, with the publisher, Lord Atholstan having his home bombed with dynamite on August 9th.
When an election was called in 1917 to determine the conscription question, Borden won overwhelmingly. However, while he had dominated all of Anglo Canada, the conservatives were almost entirely removed from Quebec. This moment in 1917 is crucial because it marks the permanent alienation of Quebec from the Tories. Prior to 1917, there was a fairly even spread of Francophones on both sides of the aisle. In the election of 1911, Borden took 26 seats in Quebec with 44.1% of the popular vote, whilst liberals took 36 seats in Quebec with 44.6% of the popular vote. However, after 1917 Quebec became overwhelmingly liberal with the occasional exception of Diefenbaker and Brian Mulroney’s initial victories. To the modern Canadian, it may be strange to conceive, but the natural ruling party of Canada in its initial founding was the Tories, John A. Macdonald inheriting the long extant Tory tradition established by his predecessors.
However, it is essential to note that Diefenbaker may have signified the final fall of Canadian conservatism, but he was by no means its origins. The death blow to the old conservative way was the passing of the 1917 Military Service Act. In his book, Canada in the Great Power Game, Gwynne Dyer discusses the degree to which the Conservatives alienated the Quebecois with this legislation. The Borden Unionist government composed of Anglo-Canadian MPs pushed conscription through parliament; in doing so, Borden divided the country in half, alienating French Canada from the rest of the nation. Borden’s alienation of Quebec would cede the reins of government to the liberals for the next 36 years. This period allowed for liberal domination of the Canadian institutions.
“… [and told him] that I did not believe that MR. Khruschev wocommunist system and its philosophy. . .This sentiment was echoed by Rear Admiral Jeffery Brock, then vice-chief of Naval Staff.
What does this mean, and why is this important? The answer is that 1917 caused a revolutionary change in Canada’s institutions of power. Prior to 1917, Canada was a conservative country. This was conservatism in the old sense of the word; Canada’s political elites were concerned primarily with stability and order. However, the conservatives and unionists under Borden destroyed themselves by prosecuting WWI, leaving the Liberals the levers of power in Canada for the next 36 years. As a result, the Liberals and their fellow continental apologists were able to gain control of all of the major Canadian institutions. They used this time in power to transform the landscape of Canadian power-politics. Hence when Diefenbaker stands up in opposition to Kennedy’s dictation of Canadian defence policy, the entire elite apparatus of Canada, revolutionized over the preceding decades, betrays him. The final defeat of Canadian conservative-nationalism in 1963 was made possible by its first defeat in 1917. |

Electricity and magnetism, linear and nonlinear mechanics, optics, and computational physics are among the diverse physics skills needed in accelerator design and operation.
Accelerator systems require a variety of digital and analog electrical engineering skills. In particular there is a great need for engineers who can work with both low and high power radio frequency (rf) systems. Another area of need is high precision power supplies. Accelerator diagnostic systems require a mix of advanced analog systems and digital electronics.
Accelerators use advanced controls systems to monitor, model and control the hardware which influences the behavior of the particle beam. Needs exist for a range of software and hardware skills in designing and maintaining accelerator controls systems.
Increasingly important to accelerator development is the field of material science. Superconducting rf cavities are of great importance to accelerator developments. Surface properties, particularly of vacuum systems are also of interest. |

en | N/A | N/A | A few weeks ago, I went to Columbus to visit one of my friends from college. I just happened to have the entire weekend off of work (which never happens) and I thought I'd spend it exploring a new city!
My friend, Lauren is a photographer like me, and took me all over the little towns surrounding Columbus, we went to a farmers market, an art festival, and antique shops. (We also had breakfast at Tiffany's, which I'm sure you saw in my earlier post!
I just love the feeling of being in a new place. Some place where nobody knows you. You are free to be yourself, and meet new people. Which you can do anywhere all the time, but it's so much easier in a new place. I met an Australian lady in the antique shop, and she saw my camera and told me that her daughter was into photography, so I got to meet her darling 12 year old daughter, and talked photography with her for 15 minutes. It was so random and spontaneous. I loved it!
I also took a bajillion photographs during my weekend. I could really see myself going to Columbus more often!Here is a collection of some of the very colorful photos I took while in Columbus!Enjoy!
Thought this sign had a creative title!My mum would love it!
Saw this in the window of a cute little shop and I just HAD to go in!
(I'm starting to take after my mum!
I loved everything that was in this room. I just wanted to buy everything to take home and show my Mum. We are both suckers for cute little antique shops. And I'm very proud of this photo.... |

en | N/A | N/A | And, after a dreadful loss Friday night against Kansas City, you could be headed for your first losing season in 11 years as a head coach.
"Believe in the floaties," Saban said.
Huh? Not exactly "Win one for the Gipper," is it?
"Players have to play with confidence," Saban said. "I told the players a story about teaching your kids to swim. They fight and scream even when you hold them, because they're afraid of the water.
"You put two little floaties on their arms, and you can go sit on the side. You can't get them out of the water because they have confidence in what they're doing. They believe in the floaties. Well, we have to have confidence in what we're doing."
Alas, Miami's porous offensive line, budding quarterback controversy and injury-riddled secondary make confidence hard to come by. After Saban gave the floaties speech this week, the Dolphins (2-4) gave their worst effort yet in a 30-20 loss to the Chiefs.
With the game pushed up 42 hours because of Hurricane Wilma, the Chiefs arrived less than six hours before kickoff. But it was the Dolphins who looked jet-lagged, allowing a season-high 462 yards and controlling the ball for less than 19 minutes.
"The most disappointing thing to me is I don't think we showed improvement," Saban said.
Instead, the Dolphins are getting worse. Victories over Denver and Carolina in the first three weeks of the season now seem an aberration rather than an indication of a turnaround from last year's 4-12 fiasco.
The latest loss confirmed that quarterback A.J. Feeley wasn't the only problem in 2004. The Dolphins traded him Tuesday and still played lousy, inviting a renewal of last year's season-long quarterback debate.
Gus Frerotte went 11-for-29 for 125 yards against a Chiefs pass defense ranked 30th in the NFL. He was replaced with three minutes left by Sage Rosenfels, whose lone throw went 77 yards for a touchdown to Chris Chambers.
"I haven't thought about it yet," Saban said after the game. "The guy has thrown one pass.
Rosenfels, a fifth-year pro and a third-stringer at the start of training camp, shrugged off speculation he might become No. 1.
Rosenfels' touchdown pass was one of several big plays by the Dolphins. Ronnie Brown scored on a 65-yard run, and a 47-yard punt return and 34-yard reception by Wes Welker led to field goals.
But the offense failed to sustain anything.
Ricky Williams, playing his, carried six times for minus-1 yard. In two games he has gained 7 yards in 11 attempts, an average of 23 inches per carry.
"" Williams said. ""
Injuries are a growing concern. The already-struggling secondary lost cornerback Sam Madison (hip pointer) and safety Tebucky Jones (chest muscle) in the first half, and two other defensive starters limped to the sideline. Jones' injury appeared the most serious and potentially season-ending.
With his team reeling, Saban refuses to complain about the quality of talent he inherited from the Dave Wannstedt regime, and he insists the Dolphins are better than they've looked lately.
The Dolphins are sinking fast, with no floaties in sight.
TEXT:The Associated Press
MIAMI -- So, Nick Saban, your Miami Dolphins have endured three consecutive increasingly dismal defeats and you're headed back to Baton Rouge for a game against the New Orleans Saints. |

en | N/A | N/A | Exchange 2010 (SP1): Pre-Deployment Tips
e blood, sweat, and tears of migrating a minimally maintained Exchange 2003 infrastructure to Exchange 2010 (and mid-way through, an upgrade to 2010 SP1). All of the docs out on the web for migrations make it seem soooo easy. But if you are going to do anything other than a single server install and are doing things like, oh say; hardware load balancing, Exchange 2003 co-existence, or working in an old multi-domain forest then you are in for some punishment. I think I ran into every possible issue that you can have with an Exchange 2010 migration. One guide that helped me in this endeavor was the r. This guide didn’t cover every aspect for me though, here are a few things that may save you a little bit of hassle. I’ve been meaning to publish this for a while and I have a whole lot more notes from this experience but this is a start.
1.) Ensure all Exchange servers have the right local administrators and are in the right active directory exchange groups.
Here are the AD security groups I would ensure are local admins on your exchange 2003 and 2010 servers:
Exchange Trusted Subsystem is going to be your #1 group to look for in ensuring exchange interoperability between your old 2003 servers and your shiny new Exchange 2010 servers. If you are not doing your own schema prep (aka, you are not the schema admin/enterprise admin) then triple check that replication between the domain you are upgrading to 2010 and those that are remaining as legacy 2003 servers are replicating properly. Even if your local domain shows that an exchange 2003 server in another domain is in the “Exchange Trusted Subsystem” group does not mean that it actually is from the remote domain’s viewpoint if replication is going awry.
2.) Don’t remove ExchangeSetupLogs Directory
I made the mistake of doing this and then when I had to reinstall a component ran into all kinds of issues. It isn’t that large of a directory so just leave it alone and you will be cool. As I mentioned before, you will break your powershell virtual directory if you remove then re-add components. Adding to that, if you experience any errors at all in your install but everything still seems to be working don’t expect to be able to reinstall components without hacking the registry to trick out the installer. You will get to a point in the component reinstallation where it will whine about a previous install going awry, you will then remove the registry settings which it is reading these settings from, then you go to install the components again and the installer will think a reboot is needed from running the prior time. I must have rebooted 20 times for one server that was misbehaving when trying to repair a component (I’m nothing if not persistent)
3.) Never Assume a Wizard will “Just Work”
4.) Don’t mess with the IPv6 settings
5.) Get Powerful with Powershell
New-RoutingGroupConnector -Name "RG Exchange 2003" -SourceTransportServers "labexch1.corp.contoso.com","labexch2.corp.contoso.com" -TargetTransportServers "exchexclus.corp.contoso.com"1. For the photo to be available offline we need to change the thumbnailPhoto from an Indicator to a Value attribute.
Set-OrganizationConfig –ReadTrackingEnabled $true
6.) Get Some Registry Love Too…
Well maybe this is me just being a bit snarky about one issue I ran into where people couldn’t upload attachments over 5mb after being migrated to Exchange 2010. But there are about three different places where you can set limits for e-mail size for an end user and all of them were over 5mb in my environment. I read a bit further into this and found out that “unlimited” actually means 5mb (huh?). Yup, the transport max send size was set to unlimited but until I manually changed it, nothing over 5mb would be accepted.
Change attachment upload limit in OWA from 5mb to 20mb
I already wrote up a quick guide to managing maintenance work on your Exchange 2010 DAG which you can read about in one of my prior entries. You also want to periodically check and see that your DAG replica database log indexes are not out of whack (with the commands later on in the post mentioned above).
I also noticed that in my multisite DAG that the failover clustering was set automatically to allow either site servers to own the IP address of the DAG. This is fine if you are stretching VLANs I suppose, but I am not. So I unchecked the availability to own IP addresses on each network resource for servers that do not have that network available. The setting in failover cluster administration is specifically in the advanced policies of each network IP resource.
Finally, you may want to increase the cross-subnet delay to reduce unnecessary DAG failovers on tenuous WAN links between your sites. This is actually done with a basic administrative cmd.exe prompt and a cluster.exe command:
If the time is off between your internal and your edge servers then the one way sync and other operations may start to fail or experience delays. I opted to have the edge servers sync with my internal servers and open the ntp port to allow them to do so through the firewall.
10.) Do Not Assume Permissions
When I started migrating user mailboxes I started getting errors like the following for some accounts:
FullyQualifiedErrorId : B959FFD311.) Microsoft Has Gotten A Bit More Stringent With Things
Get-Group | Where {$_.GroupType -Like "Global*" -AND $_.RecipientType -eq "MailNonUniversalGroup"} | Set-Group –Universal
$name = $dl.Name
$displayname = $dl.DisplayName
$samaccountname = $dl.samaccountname
write-host "Applying settings for:, $displayname, $name, $samaccountname, $alias, $email" -foreground "green"
Remove Spaces From Mailbox Aliases
Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Where {$_.Alias -match '\s+'} | ForEach-Object {Set-Mailbox $_.Name -Alias:($_.Alias -Replace " ","")}like '* 12.) Don’t Forget To Review Existing Dynamic Distribution Groups Prior to Migrating Any Mailboxes
Furthermore, if you were not the prior dynamic distribution group creator then you may not realize that the dynamic distro groups were created in weird and non-forward moving ways. In my case there were groups that referenced specific servers and were wildly off-base for the target audiences for which they were designed. Most companies rely on these groups for mass emails to their valued employees. Before you start migrating your users do yourself a favor and revisit the current dynamic distribution groups and recreate them as needed to be something worthy to be inherited by your next Exchange admin.
If you are upgrading from Exchange 2003 to 2010 then you need to convert your resource groups in a special way for them to work properly.
Set-Mailbox -Identity “mailbox name” -Type RoomSet-CalendarProcessing
“mailbox name” -AutomateProcessing AutoAccept
Bonus Tip: The outlook address book is really slow to update
Really slow… snail paced slow, honestly. As a basic reference keep in mind that Outlook takes approximately 24 hours to do a full offline address book download if Outlook is running continuously.
So if updating distribution group permissions (adding sendas permissions for example) do a full download of the address book in outlook clients running in cached mode. This also holds true for uploaded photo’s in the GAL for users. If someone asks me how long a photo will take to show up in Outlook 2010 I have learned to say “at least 3 days” and so should you. But if you want instant gratification you can manually update your OAB then have your users all manually download their address books. But that’s crazy talk. 🙂 |

After her appointment with Carina Amelia went home, alone. The car ride was painfully silent so she turned on the radio but it didn’t help in the slightest. She missed him and there was no running away from it. She missed him and he was probably only 10 minutes away, a reality that was unbearable to say the least. She wanted him by her side, no she needed him by her side but she screwed up and she had no other choice but to wait it out. She just hoped she wouldn’t be waiting too long.
If she thought the car ride was unbearable she had no hope in surviving their bedroom. His clothes were all over the place, I mean he practically lived there. He really only went to his apartment when he needed a special shirt or to reference old textbooks and medical journals. She wondered what he was wearing, not in like creepy way but he definitely didn’t have a lot of choices back at his place. As she looked around ssleep surrounding by reminders of him but she had to at least try.
She stripped off her clothes and put on his old Mariners t-shirt, it was her favorite one and at the moment none of hers fit so she was wearing a lot of his. It was soft and it still smelled just like him despite her many uses and for some reason it was weirdly comforting. It was like he was still there by her side. She went to the bed only to find a note sitting on her pillow case, it must of been from before his accident. It read.
I know this isn’t what we you and I can’t wait to meet our little peanut.in this room so she gathered up her blanket and headed down the hallway to Maggies room. “Maggie,” she quietly spoke not wanting to wake the kids “Maggie” she repeated a little louder when there was no response.
“Amelia, is everything okay?” Maggie questioned she opened the door only to be met with a red eye Amelia.
“No,” she breathed out Maggies question only causing Amelia to finally break, “Link left and I can’t sleep in that room” she began to explain but Maggie knew where this was going.
“Come in” she ushered Amelia in and helped her get into the bed. She kept on repeating “I got you” in attempts to calm her down, she couldn’t really tell If it was working. Once the two of the them were situated in the bed Amelia explained everything that happened and she just let all her emotions run out. Maggie didn’t talk at all, that’s not what Amelia needed right now, right now all she needed to do was vent.
“Can you text Link for me,” she finished up her story getting a very concerned look from Maggie, “I told him I would tell him how the appointment went and I don’t really trust myself texting him” she reached for her phone on the nightstand, “please,” she pleaded once last time giving Maggie the look that always made her break.
“Umm” she thought out for a second not wanting it to sound to attached or emotional. He just needed the facts. “Hey Link, the appointment went well. Peanut is as healthy as can be,” She told Maggie not knowing if it was too much, “Hows that?” She questioned.
“Well it better be good because it already sent” she tried to joke around, “can we please go to bed now?” she pleaded to Amelia who looked like she was winding down a bit.
Amelia woke up to a text from Link, well not woke up because that would imply that she had any sleep. The text was simple but it was stuck in Amelia head. It read.
Link was glad that the two of them were good, the baby and her. I mean the rational part of her knew Link and she knew he would still care but the other side of her, the pregnant and emotional side, was stuck on those simple words. He still cared maybe she wouldn’t have to do too much waiting after all, she just had to figure out who the father was.
She had just finished up the test when she spotted Link, he was standing next to Jo and he didn’t look well. He must have not gotten any sleep either because bags seemed to make their home under his eyes. They weren’t laughing just talking, Link had said something about Alex being away so she assumed Link was staying with her.
Whatever they were talking about must not have painted Amelia in the best like because when she looked back Jo was staring at her, giving her the look. She took that as her sign to leave, deciding to check up on one of her patients before Link spotted her.
“Okay” Link simply stated as if it was a mundane task. There was hardly even a reaction in his face and Amelia couldn’t take the silence she was forming so she continued on.
“Okay,” silence again, “I’m all done so page me if you need me,” he finished looking towards Nico and then left, leaving Amelia alone once again, well alone surrounded by the OR staff. An OR staff that was trying to hide the fact they already knew what was going on.
Okay. Okay! Really that was all you could think off Link thought as he scrubbed out. He could have said a million different things. He could have said how he missed her, how he loved her, and how he regretted everything he said yesterday because all of it was true. He kept on replaying that moment trying to think of anything else he could have said but it was all blank. He wasn’t lying when he said he was scared she might go back to Owen, that option always seemed to be there and once he finally thought they had gotten past it all, she might be pregnant with his baby. He knew Owen would want to be in the picture and he was terrified that he would be pushed out so he did it for her, he left and he hated himself for it.
He always played it safe, he wasn’t uptight or anything but he never risked it when things really mattered, when his heart was on the line. This was a trait he always credited his parents for and right now it wasn’t protecting him, at this moment it was only causing damaging. Sure, there was a chance that Amelia would leave, a there chance that things won’t work out but Link was willing to risk it this time. He was willing to risk the potential pain if that meant he could have Amelia and their little family but he told her to take her time so all he could do was wait. Both of them now waiting for the other to make up there mind.
It was Friday when Amelia got the results back and she hadn’t seen Link since the day in the OR. Jo said he was taking some time off and Amelia honestly thought he just needed space so she gave it too him. But she nervous, completely and utterly nervous. She knew that these results would change her life completely. She hoped it was Links but she knew there was good chance it was Owens, and if it was Owens… it was Owens. She already chose Link and opening the results was proving to be quite difficult so she just stared at them, sitting down in the plant room all alone.
Link was spending his time off preparing his big gesture for Amelia. If he had any shot to be with her, he was going to go down swinging. So he had spent the last week fixing up the house. The house that would hopefully be theirs one day. He wanted to get her input on it first but the circumstances didn’t really allow for it so he just went in full force and the house was almost completely done, with the exception of some bedroom furniture and the finishing touches on the nursery. He really couldn’t wait to show Amelia. The truth was he missed her, putting the house together was just a flash of memories they would miss if he wasn’t her choice.
Today was his first day back and he was on mission to find her. He had to see her and tell her it didn’t matter, that he wanted her even if she didn’t want him back. He wanted to see her, to talk to her, to do everything with her, so he made his way to their place, the plant room.
When he got there that was he saw her.
“Do you want me to leave?” He asks knowing how worried she must be and he didn’t want to make it worse.
“No” she looks up at him before placing her palm on his “Please stay.” He stayed silent just giving her a slight nod to acknowledge her request. The two of them just staring down at the envelope. “Link, I’m scared” she admits “What if it’s Owens?” her voice shakes a little at the thought and Links heart breaks for her. He knew this must be killing her.
When they got to the house, Amelia was confused to say the least.
Story note: I know the events of this series don’t add up exactly, try to just focus on each miniseries as their own little universe.
93. Kissing in the rain and getting soaked.
89. Dancing in the rain.
his arm was thrown around her waist, and he was sleeping as if nothing was bothering him.
Amelia on the other hand was wide awake, awoken by the sound of pitter patter on the window.  she looked at her side of the room, staring at the raindrops one by one. they fell perfectly, and Amelia was growing impatient.
she was awake, and she didn’t want to be alone. She turned in her boyfriends direction, and kissed his lips. Once. Twice. Three times, until his eyes fluttered open.
“Good morning.” She smiled, kissing him again in rejoice. She was glad he was awake.
“Amelia, it’s 3 AM. I wouldn’t dictate your ideas, but you have work, babe.” He mumbled, remaining in his sleepy state.  he turned away from her, and Amelia was visibly upset. If only he could see her face.
she didn’t say anything else, instead she got up from the bed. She walked straight outside in a pair of his boxers, her t-shirt, and felt the rain on her skin.
It was cold but she didn’t mind, until her boyfriend came outside. Link wrapped her inside a towel, but she shook it off of her shoulders.
“no.” She shrugged. “Baby, come on.” Amelia grabbed his arm, and pulled them into the freezing rain. If there’s one thing Link knew about her, was not to underestimate her sporadic ideas. So, he wrapped his arms around her waist once they hit a stopping point, and she involved her’s around his neck.
She kissed his lips for what seemed like the thousandth time, and he smiled. “Dance with me.” Amelia told him. It wasn’t a command, but it was a statement.
Her boyfriend complied, and they began swaying in silence.
It was the sweetest voice, and his heart sunk deeper and deeper.
Every time she spoke, he realized just how much he loved her. They could be doing anything, anytime, and she would light up the whole scene.
She was the brightest without trying, and he admired all of her.
Even the things that annoyed him.
He sung a song with a soft melody about love, because what the hell else would he do?
It was slow and perfect as they swayed to the music, and time slipped away from them.
He was so gentle and kind with her, and it made her feel as if she was the only girl in the world. he made her want to do cheesy things like dancing in the rain, and make out like highschoolers.
Though they were new to the term, they could definitely use it. They were in love.
The type of love where nothing else matters when you’re with your partner, and you are exactly that. Partners.
When the song ended, Amelia could barely spring up words mesmerized by his blue eyes.
usually link will tell her that her eyes are captivating, and that she could undo a man with one simple glare. Little did he know, he did the same for her.
she still couldn’t speak as he was looking straight into her irises, so she went in for the kill.
she kissed him, sweet and slow. They weren’t in a rush, and they would never be in a rush together. She groaned, feeling his warmth as he slid his tongue through her entrance.  she smiled, and allowed it.
“The sky is falling.” Amelia grinned, as they separated their lips for air.
he was about to place his lips back on his girlfriends, but Amelia stopped him. “what about the shifts?
Jo’s breathing slows and her sobs stifle. Link slowly releases her from his embrace.
“I don’t know what to say, Jo.” Link looks at her with soft eyes and a sympathetic expression. It’s not enough.
Jo walks past him, towards the counter where her untouched glass of wine sat.
“I couldn’t bring myself to drink it. I feel sick. Where else could he be? Dead in a ditch? I think someone would’ve told me. He has abandoned his life, his job, his friends. He just left; like it was nobody’s business. She opens the box of donuts that Link brought over, taking out a powdered sugar.
Jo sighs, “I’m sorry Link. I know you have your Amelia situation. At least I know my husband doesn’t think I’m enough. You still don’t know if Amelia is carrying your baby or not, or even if she loves you.” Link follows Jo to the kitchen of the loft, drinking some of Jo’s wine.
Just in October we got married, again. He promised me he wasn’t going to run. I’m better now. He was good, we were good. We wanted babies and forever. What happened?” Tears run down her cheeks, and Jo puts the donut down.
“Want to watch a crappy movie?” Link suggests.
“Yeah, whatever.” Jo says distantly.
Me: Grey’s is trash I will not watch it. |

I really liked the discussion that came out of it, especially the response to questions about assessment of Web 2.0 tech in Academic Libraries. We’ve been thinking about doing an MS Library 2.0 Summit themed on Assessment for the Fall. Interested? What do you want to have numbers for? What is tricky to assess for you? Or do you already have a great 2.0 assessment program going? Maybe you could be one of our speakers! The normal structure of the conference is to have a keynote and then nine or so “Steal this Idea” speakers. These are just regular folks who’ve found something that works for them that they want to share. It’s been a huge success in the past, and we are trying to make it even more value-added and targeted this time around. |
en | N/A | N/A | Sudoku is a Japanese game which is a logic-based, number-placement puzzle. In this game one has to fill a 9×9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3×3 subgrids all contains the digits from 1 to 9. The puzzle setter provides a partially completed grid, which has to be completely filled.
This game Sudoku teaches us a lot of things about life. God provides us this puzzle of life, which we have to fill. It has many levels, easy, medium, hard, hardest. Sometimes we are given the levels and sometimes we ourself make or choose it. It can be filled in many ways from any number but in the end it has just one aim that is it has to be completely filed similarly we can live our life at any level, in any way but it is has to be lived completely/ fully.
It teaches us that as every puzzle has a solution, similarly however hardest problem/situation we face in life, it thus have a solution. Only what is needed is that we instead of focusing on the problem try to focus on the ways and means to get the solution of it. It may take time, but one needs to think about the solution with full concentration, focus, patience and belief. In some hardest situations of life we may have to take option, use hit and trial method (risk/help). Like in Sudoku, till we easily get the number to be filled in box, we are happy, confident but the real challenge comes when we are stuck up (adverse situation of life). That is the real challenge, what we do then. Do we take help, cheat, look around, throw it away, ignore, we feel angry, upset/hopeless, many times we just keep on looking at the numbers filled up (past incidents) and try to find out that where have we gone wrong. If we catch hold of the number (mistake) that we have filled wrong, then we can correct it , if just few numbers are filled incorrectly. But sometimes we might have filled majority of the numbers wrong, then instead of correcting it, repenting it, we must set for a new Sudoku (new beginning of life).
Manytimes when we cross check (analyze past events) and realize that we have not filled any number wrong (done anything wrong) yet we are not getting the desired results (unjustice) then we might be so angry and so frustrated by not getting the solution (just/fair treatment) that we might just give it up. The easy thing is to give up but the hardest thing is to solve it. It may take time, test your patience but if you have determination/will power to solve it then eventually one will succeed and the satisfaction, happiness, pride, energy that one feels and gets is unmatchable when one fills up the hardest Sudoku or when one sails through the hardest situation of life. It is that moment, the moment of giving it up and the moment of getting oneself calm/composed/ rejuvenated that makes the difference. For quitters never win and winners never quit.
While solving the hardest Sudoku (goal/aim/passion/dream) many times your family members, colleagues, elders, friends, acquaintances etc will distract you , will tell you just leave it, don’t act as a fool, don’t waste your time, what will you get by solving it. They might also gossip about you. But one has to be deaf to it. For the moment one achieves something that seemed hard/impossible in the beginning then it the same people who obstructed you from doing it will praise you “Ho gaya !!! wah wah very good”. Some might also get interested and might also like to learn from you (inspiration for others).
So keep playing the Sudoku of your life, with full confidence, passion, dedication, perseverance, patience, fill it up with all numbers of dreams, happiness, prosperity, love, enjoyment for your life Sudoku should not be left unfilled, no matter how hard it might seem, it still has a solution. |

en | N/A | N/A | Ben E. Keith eyes Houston expansion
Sep 2, 2007, 11:00pm CDT
Updated Aug 30, 2007, 4:06pm CDT
A Fort Worth food and beverage distributor aims to make a fresh delivery in the Houston market.
Ben E. Keith has requested a tax abatement package for development of the company's first Houston area distribution warehouse, to be built on 82 acres purchased earlier this year.
The 101-year-old privately held firmwants a piece of the action on the home turf of two heavyweight Houston competitors.
Sysco Corp. (NYSE: SYY) ranks as the No. 1 food service supplier in North America with 190 distribution centers serving more than 400,000 customers. Sysco, which also has a presence in Dallas-Fort Worth, posted annual sales of $35 billion for fiscal year 2007 that ended June 30. For the same time period, the company had net earnings of $1 billion.
Houston-based Silver Eagle Distributors LP took over the title as largest Anheuser-Busch distributor in the nation on Aug. 1. It is the No. 1 beer distributor in the Houston area and fourth-largest in the country. The 45-year-old firm services more than 10,000 retail establishments.
Privately held Ben E. Keith, meanwhile, sells food, paper goods and equipmental businesses. The company has six distribution centers serving more than 14,000 customers in 10 states. Ben E. Keith also is o -- delivering beer to 60 Texas counties.
Economic development folks are working hard to make the Houston area deal happen.
Barkley P was impressed by a tour of Ben E. Keith's facility in Fort Worth. He says the efficient facility gave him some insight into what a Missouri City plant might look like.
"They want to be in this region," Peschel says. "We want them to be herHouston-area customers currently are served by Ben E. Keith distribution centers in San Antonio and Fort Worth.
The company spent a year scouting out roughly 15 area sites before acquiring 82 acres in Beltway Crossing, says Jude Filippone of Transwestern, who represented Ben E. Keith in its land acquisition.
"They decided on that site because of accessibility to Beltway 8," he says. "Once they decided to move forward, they acted fast."
Craig Woodcook, an attorney with Ben E. Keith, confirms the land purchase, but would not give specifics on size and scope of the proposed development.
Woodcock says the company will furnish details after negotiating a tax abatement package with Missouri City, Fort Bend County and the water district. |

— Bon Iver and Taylor Swift, "Exile"
Being in love can be hard, mostly for one reason: There's no guarantee your crush will feel the same. Indeed, in fiction, it's far more likely that you'll at least have to deal with a Love Triangle or two before you can be happy, but the rule with a love triangle is that they run on drama and angst from all characters involved. One easy way to add some tragedy is for a love-struck character to be an unwilling witness to their love and their rival doing anything from flirting and blushing, to outright doing the dirty.
This is almost always Played for Drama. The witness is usually the protagonist or a character whose insecurities are already familiar to the audience, making the sting that much more painful. A particularly nasty rival will subject them to this intentionally, especially if the triangle is between the Cool Loser and the Alpha Bitch. Other times, the lovers won't know they're being watched, making it less malicious but still hurtful for the watcher. In all cases, it's a slap in the face to the witness, who will more than likely use this moment as proof that they've "lost" the love competition. Expect tears to follow...or a Green-Eyed Epiphany, if they react with jealousy rather than anguish. If the jealousy is the intended reaction, it's Operation: Jealousy. All that said however, antagonists can be on the receiving end too, which will either be seen as fitting karma or an explanation for their bitterness later on.
While this is usually reserved for characters who aren't already dating, established couples can have scenes like this, especially if someone is attempting Relationship Sabotage. In cases like these, it shows that the relationship is shaky or plagued by doubts and jealousy. Secure partners are more likely to break the moment up or shrug it off, while an insecure partner would internalize it and see it as a sign of trouble to come. These cases can also be entirely platonic, with the witness interpreting them as something more; this variant has overlap with Mistaken for Cheating, Not What It Looks Like, or even Relative Error.
Non-consensual moments only count if the lack of consent isn't immediately obvious to the witness. A tricked or brainwashed love-interest, for example, may play into the flirting without actually wanting to. A victim of blatant sexual assault, on the other hand, is very obviously not in control of what they're doing, so the impact comes from a different source. Beyond that, the extent of the "flirting" is quite broad, as this trope is more about the reaction and impact rather than the lovers themselves.
Compare Sex in a Shared Room, Emasculated Cuckold, Alone Among the Couples, Third Wheel, Netorare, Unbalanced by Rival's Kid, and Moment Killer.
Maki from Kaguya-sama: Love is War deals with this on a near daily basis due to her best friend Kashiwagi dating her crush Tsubasa (a fact that both are unaware of). She has an uncanny ability to always be present when the two are having an intimate moment, and understandably spends most of her screen time miserable.
In Only the Ring Finger Knows, Wataru watches Kazuki walk arm-in-arm his female cousin while she calls him her "favorite guy" and immediately decides that he's in love with Kazuki and also that he needs to give up on him. After finding out she's his cousin...he still thinks she's a more viable love interest than he is.
Osamake has an interesting case where due to it being a Harem, any of Suehara's Love Interests seeing him "flirt" with another girl is enough to make them jealous, sad, or angry. However, it's more prominent with his childhood friend Kuroha, who dejectedly watches him make a fuss about Shirokusa's hurt foot all throughout episode 9, especially since Shiro is his First Love and her rival. Kuroha admits that seeing them together felt worse than when she rejected him.
Les Aigles de Rome: To break off the burgeoning (and politically-inconvenient) relationship between Marcus and her daughter Priscilla, the High-Class Call Girl Morphea forces Priscilla to overhear her having sex with Marcus (having drugged and bound him beforehand), and hear Marcus say he loves Morphea. As soon as Priscilla's gone she has Marcus thrown out.
Cyborg Davis has a scene where it's revealed that Yami Ninji had secretly filmed Kari and T.K. having sex, so he could use the footage to physiologically break the ever jealous Davis.
In From Smolensk to Santander , a Hussar Ballad fanfic, after Vincento realises he has fallen in love with Shura, it becomes a torment for him to watch the affection between her and her fiance, especially since neither of the couple has any idea about his feelings and both of them view him as a good friend.
In Aladdin, Aladdin has to watch Jasmine flirt with and ultimately kiss Jafar. He knows that she's only doing it to distract Jafar, so he won't notice Aladdin and Abu sneaking into the room to try to save her; nevertheless, his expression shows how clearly uncomfortable he is with what he's seeing.
Megamind: Tighten observes Roxanne dating Bernard (actually a disguised Megamind) right off the heels of Roxanne telling Tighten they will never be together. This causes him to give up trying to be a hero, which he'd only done to try and impress Roxanne, and turn to villainy.
In the second Descendants, Mal and Ben are having some relationship trouble leading up to the school cotillion, but this is briefly halted when Ben is kidnapped by Uma and her pirate crew. After Mal and the others free him, they all prepare for the dance, though the relationship hasn't been mended. So, when Ben shows up with Uma, Mal is stunned and heartbroken, especially after he declares Uma to be "his true love". This moment ends when Jane unveils a stained glass window he had commissioned, featuring himself and Mal, which reveals to the crowd that Ben was being brainwashed.
In Gangs of New York, Henry sees Amsterdam make out with Jenny, a woman he was interested in but who turned him down earlier in the film. He outs his identity to Bill Cutting out of jealousy.
Happens to two people in overlapping love triangles in Hussar Ballad when Lieutenant Rzhevsky has a huge crush on and persistently flirts with singer Louise Jermon.
Louise's Old Flame Pelymov has to watch it, though Rzhevsky is aware of their past relationship and asks him if he is okay with Rzhevsky hitting on her. Pelymov, determined to forget his love for Louise after their quarrel, assures him he isn't jealous in the slightest, but his expressions say otherwise.
It's much harder for Rzhevsky's fiancee Shura, since she is in a Sweet Polly Oliver disguise and Rzhevsky doesn't know it's her (theirs is an Arranged Marriage, and the one time he met her as a woman she trolled him by putting on lots of powder and acting overly girly). She also has to watch the flirting and can't contain her rage, drinking heavily and crying out that she hates actresses and women in general. Things get even more complicated when Louise admires the youthful and passionate "boy" and decides to tease both Rzhevsky and Pelymov by being affectionate towards "him".
Mean Girls: Regina fawns over Aaron and can't keep her hands off him whenever Cady's around, because she knows Cady likes him and is jealous that they're dating (and in fact only got back with him in the first place to hurt her). Cady knows exactly what she's doing, but has to sit there and put up with it because of her role in Janis' Backstabbing the Alpha Bitch plan.
Regina: [running her hands through Aaron's hair] Why do you wear your hair like that??
Cady: [narrating] Regina was dangling Aaron in front of me on purpose.
Cady: But this was Girl World. [out loud] ...Your hair looks sexy pushed back.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Janet is an emotional wreck when she sees post-coitus footage of Brad and Frank, devastated that Brad would betray her like that. Brad is, in turn, horrified when he finds her naked with Rocky, and their relationship is implied to be unstable for the rest of the film. Brad's reaction is nothing compared to Frank's, though, who flies into a jealous rage when he realizes that Janet and Rocky are into each-other.
In Sannikov Land, when Annuir confesses her love for Ilyin (his response is rather reserved as he has a fiancee at home), they are watched by Dukkar who has a Villainous Crush on Annuir and was rejected by her only minutes ago at the wife-choosing festival. This event cements Dukkar's hatred of Ilyin and the rest of the explorers, and he spends the rest of the film being The Dragon to the murderous, sadistic local shaman.
In the 1995 adaptation of Sense and Sensibility, Willoughby watches, from a distance, the happy wedding of Marianne and Colonel Brandon. Willoughby does love Marianne, just not as much as he loves the money and carefree lifestyle provided by his Meal Ticket wife, and his expression shows that he has a moment of regret for what could've been, before silently turning and riding away.
In A Detective Story by Kir Bulychev, Lera reminisces on how her admirer and eventual husband Oleg had to watch her affectionate relationship with her First Love Ivan, and imagines how strongly Oleg must have felt about it. So strongly, it turns out, that he decided on Relationship Sabotage and framed Ivan for cheating.
The Dresden Files: Invoked as punishment by Mab, Queen of the Winter Fairy, at the end of Battle Ground. When she declares her intention to seal the alliance with the vampiric White Court via a dynastic marriage between her Knight (Harry Dresden) and the vampire queen Lara Raith, the Winter Lady Molly (who is also in love with Harry) interjects on his behalf, pointing out that he needs time to grieve after his latest loss. Mab agrees to postpone the wedding by a year, but in an act of spite, tasks Molly with personally publicizing Harry and Lara's relationship and upcoming wedding during said year.
In East, Rose watches her beloved happily courting the Troll Queen and muses that she is no better than said Queen if she wants to break up such a tender romance. Then, however, as she discovers just what atrocities are committed by the trolls, she realises the man must have been brainwashed to love someone who condones it (which is indeed the case).
In the finale of Enoch Arden, Enoch Arden spies on his beloved wife Annie's domestic bliss with her second husband Philip (believing Enoch to be dead, she committed Accidental Adultery). He is crushed by the sight of it, especially by the fact Annie has already had Philip's baby, but he only does it to make sure she is happy and never reveal to anyone that he has been alive all along until he is really on his deathbed.
In Eugene Onegin, Lensky's fiancee Olga cheerfully responds to Onegin's flirtations right in front of Lensky himself. It leads to Lensky challenging Onegin to a duel.
Subverted in Faith Hope Love by Georgy Yudin. The main character watches what he thinks is his wife cavorting with another man. However, due to Impostor Forgot One Detail, he sees the woman has a six-fingered hand, while his wife doesn't, and realises he is being tricked.
A major plot twist in The Hound of the Baskervilles is when Stapleton goes nuts on seeing Henry Baskerville hit on his sister. This is because she's actually his wife, and despite Sir Henry's infatuation serving his plans he's unable to control himself and very nearly blows his own cover in doing so.
In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, this trope is in play at the Yule Ball. Harry has to watch his crush Cho dance with Cedric and Ron has to watch his crush Hermione dance with Viktora Green-Eyed Epiphany when he sees Ginny kissing Dean. Meanwhile, Ron and Hermione's Belligerent Sexual Tension goes on as Ron starts dating the very openly affectionate Lavender Brown and Hermione has to watch it, while Hermione performs Operation: Jealousy and starts dating Cormac McLaggen so that Ron would see that.
In Sense and Sensibility, Marianne's passionate courtship with Willoughby is in plain view of everyone around, including Colonel Brandon who silently pines for Marianne. However, she is completely unaware about the latter's feelings.
After spending half of Moonlight Becomes You trying to get in contact with Maggie, Neil finally manages to track down her address in Newport and drives by...only to see her getting back from a date with Liam, much to his disappointment.
A particularly weird example in Spectrum where Irina is split into seven copies of herself which are located on different planets and can sense each other's feelings (and get killed off one by one as nature struggles to bring order back). When Martin starts a romance with the fifth Irina, the two other remaining ones can't help but sense her feelings all the time, including when Martin sleeps with her, and go crazy with jealousy.
A Puppy Love version in A Tragedy by Nadezhda Teffi. At a Christmas party, Kot'ka's longtime crush Tanya, right before Kot'ka's eyes, starts playing and dancing with an impressive-looking cadet (military school student) who is eight years old to Kot'ka's six and Tanya's seven. Tanya is a generally good-hearted but egocentric girl and genuinely doesn't realise why her actions hurt Kot'ka, while he is too proud to admit he is offended.
The Twilight series runs off of these moments between Bella, The Rival Jacob, and One True Love Edward, with the latter two baiting Bella into such moments by the third book in order to make their romantic claims on her that much more apparent to one another. This peaks in Eclipse when the three have to camp in the woods in the middle of winter and Bella begins to freeze. Edward cannot help since as a vampire, his skin is ice cold. Jacob however runs very warm due to his shapeshifter nature and thus Bella has to share his sleeping bag with him in order to keep warm. The entire chapter that follows is a conversation between Edward and Jacob discussing Jacob's smugness over the situation, their feelings for Bella, and her feelings towards both of them.
In A Very Scary Story by Anatoly Aleksin, Gena, one of the school poets, writes love poetry. One of his pieces is about his Fate Worse than Death suffering at the sight of his crush flirting with an older boy. Later, he falls in love with another girl and writes a poemanother boy walking with her from the canteen. However, it is revealed both girls are entirely fictional.
Cruel Summer: One of the bigger points of drama in the show came from a recently-rescued Kate seeing her boyfriend, Jamie, kissing Jeannette... who was the very same girl Kate accused of leaving her with her kidnapper, as well as his ex. Kate bottled this issue up for months, and when she finally confronted him about it, he used gaslighting tactics to dismiss the concerns. This whole ordeal only made her emotional issues worse.
Doctor Who: In "Human Nature", Martha and the Doctor are living a life in 1913, where the Doctor has turned into a human professor named John Smith, and she's a racially-targeted servant girl at the school, who nonetheless retains her feelings for the Doctor. Unfortunately, John spends several scenes in this episode flirting with the nurse, Joan Redfern, and does it right in front of Martha, who he disregards as nothing more than an acquaintance at best.
Samdong from Dream High has an emotional breakdown when he sees Jingook kiss Hyemi, his crush, on the Ferris wheel he brought her tickets for so they could ride together.
One episode of The Drew Carey Show sees Drew and Lisa's relationship threatened by a new company policy forbidan effort to hide their relationship, Drew enlists his buddy Jay to pose as Lisa's boyfriend, which leads to him being forced to watch her kiss Jay, which pisses him off.
Janet spent the latter half of Season 1 in a relationship with Jason, which ends when the neighborhood is rebooted in the Season 1 finale. In Season 2, it turns out that despite being rebooted 800 times, Janet still has residual feelings for him, and is secretly upset by him being in love with Tahani.
After spending the latter half of Season 3 trying to re-kindle her relationship with Chidi, the actions of Shawn in the last episode force him to undergo a memory wipe. In order to prevent one of Chidi's ex's from ruining the experiment, she is forced to set them up with each other. Chidi has no idea about his relationship with Eleanor, much to the latter's distress.
The most notable moment in the Nina/Fabian/Joy Love Triangle is when Joy kissed Fabian while disguised as Nina, causing Nina to run off in tears while a confused and distressed Fabian had to run after her. Nina was bitter for several days.
As part of an Operation: Jealousy, Eddie spent a lot of time in season 2 flirting with Mara to make Patricia jealous. She usually got angry at these interactions, even halting a Sibuna meeting to shout at them from under the floor to "turn the lights on". Season 3 would then have him spending a lot of time with KT, which again made her jealous, though Character Development eventually made her attempt an I Want My Beloved to Be Happy moment- believing he really wanted to be with KT over her as a result of all these scenes. Eddie himself was on the receiving end of this when he had to watch his rival Ben flirting with her, such as being her partner in a blind trust-exercise. His jealousy made him and Alfie fail the exercise, and put strain on his relationship with Patricia from then on.
Mick is the victim of this twice. First, Amber wanted to make him jealous to win him back, so she gave Alfie an impromptu kiss during a line-reading of Romeo and Juliet. Mick nearly attacked Alfie over it, despite him only being the recipient of the kiss. Later on, when he came Back for the Finale of season 2 just to talk to his then-girlfriend Mara, he had his heart broken when she wound up kissing Jerome that same night. This was his last appearance in the show, as he was walked off-screen by a sympathetic Alfie.
A rather dark example comes at the end of season 3. Alfie, who was just turned into a sinner, dumped Willow in a cold-blooded Kick the Dog moment. As icing on the cake, he proceeded to flirt with Mara and Joy just seconds later, in front of a heartbroken and sobbing Willow. This moment devastated her for the rest of the season, and he, once turned back to normal, had to give her an apology gift before she even considered taking him back.
Victorious: In The Pilot, Jade walked in on awkward-newgirl Tori rubbing coffee off of her boyfriend Beck's shirt. Immediately, she took this as a threat and repeatedly bullied Tori for the rest of the class. Tori finally got her revenge by kissing Beck on stage... but this only made Jade angrier, leaving a grudge that would last for most of the show.
In the song "Silhouettes" by The Rays (later covered by Herman's Hermits), a man passing his girlfriend's house sees silhouettes on the window shade of his girlfriend and another man kissing. Overcome by jealousy he rings the house's doorbell only to discover that it was the wrong house and he had just interrupted two strangers.
The Bon Iver-Taylor Swift duet "Exile" is about a former couple who encounter each other shortly after their breakup. The man (Iver) sees the woman (Swift) flirting with her new boyfriend and is very upset.
The "teenage love triangle" plot of folklore (2020) is kicked off when James comes to a school dance and sees Betty dancing with a guy, gets jealous, and leaves, having a summer fling with August instead. It's unclear whether Betty and James were actually dating or not, but either way, James comes to regret it because of how much it hurt Betty.
''The Tremeloes "Here Comes My Baby": "Walking with a love with a love that's oh so fine, never to be mine"
In Attila, Foresto goes crazy with jealousy when has to watch his fiancee Odabella contentedly accepting Attila's attentions and later his offer of marriage. According to the libretto, Odabella is faking her affection for Attila to get an opportunity to kill him (and Foresto knows it), however, some productions play up the drama by showing Odabella Becoming the Mask.
Black Comedy: Carol Melkett and her father are frozen in incredulity and anger as Carol's ostensible fiancée Brindsley gets into an argument with Clea (his Old Flame who had just thoroughly torpedoed his engagement) which devolves into light-hearted teasing and the two seeming to get back together right in front of the livid onlookers.
In Così Fan Tutte, Guglielmo and Ferrando decide to test their respective fiancees' fidelity and try to seduce them in disguise. As a result, each of the girls falls in love with the other one's fiance. At first Guglielmo's fiancee Fiordiligi is determined to stay faithful, but then Guglielmo is forced to watch her duet with Fernando when her resolve finally breaks, and he is absolutely heartbroken and nearly runs out to confront the couple at once (Don Alfonso, who instigated the whole thing, has to hold him back).
In The Dog In The Manger by Lope de Vega, when Diana quietly watches her secretary Teodoro's romantic rendezvous with her maid Marcela, the Betty to Diana's Veronica, she has a Green-Eyed Epiphany (for the second time in the play) and realises she hasn't been able to let go of her own feelings for Teodoro as she had hoped she would.
Molière's L Ecole Des Femmes has a scene where the Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist Arnolphe (who keeps his naïve sixteen-year-old ward Agnes cooped up in his house and forbids her from talking to anyone outside to ensure her faithfulness) learns that Agnes has been seen talking to a man and demands that she explain herself. She starts giving a blow-by-blow account of how it happened (and because of her ditziness, doesn't understand why flirting might be considered bad), not once seeing how tortured by jealousy he is. Arnolphe learned of it in an earlier scene where he runs into Horace (a friend of his son Oronte, and the man Agnes spoke to), who starts going on and on about his love for Agnes, and his disdain for the ridiculous old fart keeping her locked up (Arnolphe recently tried to go by a more aristocratic-sounding name, so Horace doesn't know he's talking to that same old fart). Arnolphe has to grin and bear it until Horace leaves.
In L Elisir D Amore, Adina flirts with Belcore in front of her longtime admirer Nemorino, who is so tormented by it he decides to snare Adina with the eponymous elixir.
In some productions of Eugene Onegin, such as Willy Decker's staging at the Opera de Paris, Prince Gremin inadvertently witnesses the final duet, learning that his adored wife still loves her Old Flame Onegin and will only stay true to Gremin out of duty. His reaction varies from one production to another: since the libretto and the music have no mention of him in this scene, he is always silent, but his face can be sad, impassive or clearly contorted in Tranquil Fury. In Decker’s production, he appears closer to the end of the duet, when Tatiana already makes her decision clear, so he takes it reasonably well and consolingly hugs Tatiana after she bids her final farewell to Onegin.
In The Golden Cockerel by Nickolay Rimsky-Korsakov, the Queen of Shemakha deliberately charms both Tsar Dodon and his general Polkan out of their wits, and Polkan has to watch her seduce Dodon. However, while usually she just ignores Polkan for the better part of the scene and he sulks somewhere in the background, the 2014 staging by Anna Matison gives the whole subplot a much more dramatic spin: the Queen is clearly attracted to Polkan as much as he is to her but has to seduce Dodon for nefarious political or magical goals (the staging is ambiguous about that).
The Hunchback of Notre Dame uses this trope heavily, as is to be expected of a musical where unrequited love and lust is a major theme (and arguably the central driving force of the plot.) In "Thai Mol Piyas," Frollo watches from the shadows as Esmeralda, the target of his obsession, kisses her Love Interest Phoebus. Later, Quasimodo, who has a much more benign crush on Esmeralda, stumbles across her and Phoebus singing a romantic duet together, causing him to become distraught.
In Luisa Miller, Wurm watches Luisa, on whom he has a Villainous Crush, happily confess her love for Rodolfo and enjoy her birthday feast with him, and afterwards says how the fire of jealousy burned his soul. However, Wurm has an Entitled to Have You attitude towards Luisa and is baffled as to why her father refused to let him marry her unless she loved him back, so that scene is designed to show him as the creepy Stalker with a Crush he is rather than make him sympathetic.
In his aria in The Marriage of Figaro, the Count laments how horrid it would be for him to constantly see Susanna, after whom he is lusting, being happy with Figaro.
Much Ado About Nothing: The evil Don John tricks Claudio into believing that he sees his fiancée Hero making love to another man the night before his wedding (it is actually Hero's maid Margaret dressed in her clothes). This enrages Claudio so much that he calls of the wedding from the altar the next day.
In the Andrew Lloyd Webber witnesses Christine and Raoul have a romantic duet at the end of the first act, which spurs him to declare revenge on both of them and leads to the famous chandelier drop.
In the Copenhagen production, Fricka breaks down crying at the sight, and even the return of her sister from captivity (which was arranged thanks to Erda's prompting) can't console her at first.
In Twilight of the Gods, Brunnhilde is dumbfounded when she sees her adored husband Siegfried happily preparing to marry Gutrune. Siegfried has been brainwashed, but she doesn't know that at the moment.
In Simon Boccanegra, as Paolo Albiani is dragged off to the gallows, he is also forced to hear the wedding celebration of Amelia Grimaldi (on whom he has a Villainous Crush) and Gabriele Adorno. He brokenly cries out "The horror! the horror!" when he hears it.
In The Snow Maiden, the Snow Maiden has to watch her sweetheart Lel kiss Kupava in front of everyone, after the Tsar tells Lel to pick a girl to kiss in reward for his beautiful song. Later she secretly watches Lel and Kupava declare their love for each other, which leads her to realise she lacks something Kupava has (being a Tragic Ice Character, the Snow Maiden can feel platonic love but has zero concept of passion and sexual relations).
In The Tsars Bride, Ivan Lykov, being a classic Tenor Boy, is unaware that his alleged friend and best man Gryaznoi is madly in love with his bride Marfa. Therefore, Lykov and Marfa happily celebrate their engagement right in front of him. Gryaznoi seems calm and happy for them, but that's because he is planning to slip a Love Potion into Marfa's goblet right during the engagement toast.
AAlexander interrupts the wedding of Abdul and Cassima to try and free his beloved Cassima from his evil clutches. When he gets there, though, Cassima not only insists she loves Adbul, but also coldly demands that Alexander get killed for his interruption. Of course, it's actually Adbul's genie in disguise as her, but Alexander is still shaken by it and sadly admits he might've been wrong the whole time.
In Brig Scarlet Flamingo, after Joseph has his Love at First Sight moment with Yvonne, he is forced to watch her talking tenderly and kissing with her fiance Jerome. Since he immediately realises she is rich and he at that point is a vagabond who thinks his Glory Days are gone, he doesn't harbour any resentment towards it and, in fact, the sight of the couple prompts him to return Yvonne's engagement ring which he had previously stolen from her in a crowd before actually seeing the girl face to face.
The Cry of Mann: Jouglat had a crush on Martinez since they met, but she doesn't return his feelings. She does, however, have a not-so-secret crush on his sister, Berry. When he catches them together, listening to one of Tank's tapes and having a private moment, he gets insanely jealous. It helps spur him further into his drinking and Sanity Slippage.
Played for Laughs in Danny Gonzalez's "POV: I'm Your Vampire Dad" video. One skit involves a couple out at a dance when the protagonist's ex shows up. Afraid to see him, they try to leave, but their serial-killer boyfriend says he'll handle it. It seems like he's about to fight the ex away... but they start making out instead. The protagonist is horrified by this, and they both rudely demand they back off. As a result, they get attacked by their Vampire Dad.
The Legend of Korra: Korra makes the move and kisses Mako after a few episodes of Beligerent Sexual Tension... right as Bolin showed up to confess his feelings to Korra. Bolin then runs away in tears causing Mako to go after him, making an already awkward moment even worse.
In The Clone Wars, Anakin and Padme have to keep their marriage a secret. She is sent on several diplomatic missions that include an old flame of hers, Rush Clovis. Rush keeps trying to rekindle things between them, while she accepts his advances and responds in kind without actually getting involved with him again. Whenever Anakin is present, he can't keep himself from getting angry and jealous.
Iron Man: Armored Adventures: Tony and Pepper's slowburn is filled with these moments.
Pepper sees Tony's moments with Whitney while they are dating. When Tony thinks he is going to die on an Iron Man mission, he asks Pepper to say goodbye to Whitney for him. Ouch.
Tony sees Pepper with Gene and Happy. He gets jealous when Pepper walks Gene out and when Pepper asks out Happy in front of him (twice). He also gets jealous when Pepper mentions she has a date with Happy in another episode. |

en | N/A | N/A | My friend Mary Katherine and I have bonded over our mutual disdain for talking on the phone, our admiration for the South Carolina low country and our nomadic upbringings. She is a military brat and I, just a regular brat who’s father was transferred often in the corporate world. Just as living in Brazil impacted my life in a huge way, Korea impacted hers. We both have fond memories of our adopted homelands and both crave a taste of foods that stir our senses. I have become quite adept at my “anglophied” Brazilian dishes, but up until last week had never cooked or even eaten Korean food. I am far from an expert on this type of cuisine, but with M.K.’s guidance, a little help from You Tube and a trip to the Asian market, I cooked up an amazing meal.
A great resource for a quick overview, recipes and step by step instructions is a site called www.maangchi.com. It was here that I watched two videos for the items I had been requested to cook. The videos are easy to follow and there are links to the recipes as well. I highly recommend this site for a Korean food novice.
Bulgogi is marinated and grilled beef. I knew the minute I saw the recipe for this marinade, that it would do wonders f or the beef. The marinade contained onion, garlic, fresh ginger and an Asian pear, which were whizzed together in a food processor and poured onto very thinly sliced beef (The Asian market I visited, had already sliced bulgogi meat). To this mixture, was added some sliced carrots, scallions, rice syrup, brown sugar, soy sauce and sesame oil. I allowed the meat to spend the night enrobed in this luscious marinade. I did not have the luxury of a charcoal grill on the night of my party, so I chose to cook the meat in a large non-stick pan. I coated the pan with some canola oil and working in several batches, placed the beef in a single layer in the hot pan. It is very important to pat the beef dry with paper towels before placing it in the pan, so that it browns properly. I was amazed at how tender and flavorful this meat was. The marinade was magical, and I’d like to think my cooking technique played a factor in this dish’s success as well. We served the bulgogi in lettuce leaves with white rice and saamjang, a thick and spicy condiment. The halted conversation and collective moaning of “Mmmmmmmmmm”, assured me that my guests were enjoying their Korean barbecue.
Bulgogi caramelizing in the hot skillet
The second dish M.K. requested was japchae. Japchae is made with potato starch noodles in a soy and sesame oil sauce. The version we made was vegetarian. The noodles were very easy to find and the package even has an easy recipe on the back. Look for “oriental style vermicelli” made from sweet potato starch. The dried pasta is a light gray in color and turns the cooking liquid a very off-putting color. Don’t let this dissuade you, as the cooked noodles are cellophane clear and extremely long. Perfect for twirling and slurping. Place the cooked noodles in a bowl and drizzle with a generous amount of sesame oil and soy sauce. Toss to coat and set aside while you cook your vegetables. I used spinach, carrots, yellow onion, scallions and mushroom for my japchae. I love the versatility of this dish, as you can add as many or as few veggies as you would like, according to your guests tastes. Make sure to sauté each vegetable separately before adding to the bowl of cooked noodles. Toss the noodles and veggies together and add more soy sauce and sesame oil if desired. Sesame oil is one of my favorite things and adds such a unique taste to this noodle dish.
For some added Korean authenticity, I purchased kimchi and pork dumplings from the market
Now for the rice. I like to pride myself as a expert rice maker. The rice I grew making is a long grain, pilaf style, loaded with onions and garlic. This meal however, called for a medium grained, no flavor added, steamed sticky rice. This task was accomplished in the amazing rice cooker that M.K. purchased from the Asian market. The forty dollar rice cooker produced some of the tastiest and most fragrant rice I have ever eaten. I have put a moratorium on buying any more kitchen gadgets, but may have to make an exception for a new rice cooker.
The rice cooker that facilitates making perfect asian-style rice
We used a medium grain white rice. Amazing how something so simple can be so flavorful
No theme dinner party is complete without a toast, including a traditional beverage. Soju, a distilled rice liquor is the alcohol of choice for this meal. Mixed with a bit of pineapple juice and some fruity Hawaiian punch, this ‘kettle’ beverage was reminiscent of some sort of frat party p.j. Being the responsible adults that we are, we toasted with a shot or two and moved on to a more sophisticated libation. Lucky for me, I work with a wine master. Although Koreans do not typically drink wine with their meals, Chef Nancy was able to expertly pair a red and a white that complimented our food exceptionally well.
For the over-21 crowd only! Soju “kettle”
To finish off our Korean feast, we scarfed down some choco pies. Similar to the southern moon-pie, this fluffy little treat, was a cherished memory from my friend’s childhood.
It’s not quite on par with a Moon-Pie, but is pretty tasty after a few swigs from the “kettle”
We are fortunate to have so many diverse cultures in the Atlanta area, and the markets that accompany these populations. No matter what ethnicity, your food memories revolve around, you are certain to find a taste of what you are looking for in one of the markets. My favorites are The Buford Highway Farmer’s Market, Super H Mart and Cherians International Groceries.
As always, I am fascinated by learning about new foods and cooking techniques, but more importantly, the joy of cooking for others is what motivates me. It was such a pleasure to be able to bring back some food memories from Mary Katherine’s childhood and to share that with a group of friends around the dinner table. I challenge everyone to step out of their culinary comfort zone and as always, make every plate something to be passionate about! |

¿Should I stay or should I run? That’s the dilemma drivers face when they hit pedestrians. Looking over the corpse of a man I had just hit, I dialed 911 and cooperated fully with the authorities. What more can you expect of a driver in a tragic accident?
[El Salvador’s] transit system, on the other hand, requires that the few of us that decide to stay do jail time, at least for 72 hours. We also incur in legal, conciliatory and transportation expenses until our confiscated vehicles and licenses are returned, often over a month later. The second paragraph of Article 177 of the Transit Code , in summary, states that “If the driver does not flee, shows no sign of drug use, informs the authorities and takes the victim to a hospital … s/he will not be taken into custody...” While the article’s language clearly intends to encourage citizens to behave responsibly and discourage hit & runs, it accomplishes the exact opposite. When the pedestrian dies on the scene, s/he can no longer be helped, so the driver must go to jail. That is, the few that decide to stick around go to jail.
What happens to those who flee? Let’s be honest: nothing. Consequently, only 10% of drivers in such circumstances reveal themselves, according to the prosecutor in my case, a striking signal of the need for reform. If only 10% of salaried citizens actually paid taxes, would we not reform fiscal policies? If our employee only showed up 10% of the time, would we not explore alternatives?
Reducing the Tendency to Hit & Run:
The same logic applies to traffic accidents. The goal of reducing the tendency to hit & run appears overwhelming for those that consider the decision as primarily a cultural phenomenon. I couldn’t disagree more. Drivers [in El Salvador] with nothing to hide decide to run not because of the culture, but primarily because they fear the practice of jailing citizens in cases of involuntary manslaughter. In essence, the policy leads good people to evade responsibility.
Could a different policy incentivize more responsibility and transparency? There are alternatives like bail or passport confiscation. In the United States, for example, the police on the scene gather statements from the driver, witnesses, test the driver for alcohol, and check the driving record of the perpetrator. Then they make a decision. If the evidence leads the officer to think the driver had been negligent, they detain the driver. If, on the other hand, the officers believe the driver behaved reasonably, they file a report and send the driver home. In the US, a much lower percentage of drivers flee. Do gringos stay because of they are “good people” or because they know that coming forward does not equate to risky jail time and that fleeing would greatly aggravate their punishment?
In addition to modifying the policy, more and better use of technology can offer better results at a reasonable cost. Installing cameras in those intersections with the highest indices of human and material loss could facilitate transparency and the administration of justice in situations where confusion and “survival of the slickest” attitudes currently prevail. Such hard evidence will help protect pedestrians from those that attempt to “escape” and drivers from extortion and false accusations of negligence. This need for transparency applies throughout our lives, from the accountability of the Presidential House (currently a hot topic in ES) to more commonplace situations like traffic accidents and filing taxes.
Transparent and responsible behavior does not stem from our genes, but from our upbringing and relevant public policies. If we want citizens to behave responsibly, let’s create and implement policies that incentivize responsible behavior and punish evasive and elusive decisions

The Cost of Doing the Right Thing
Español: Hacer Lo Correcto Sale Caro
A few weeks ago, while driving along the Panamerican highway, I hit and killed a pedestrian. Contrary to what common sense dictates in El Salvador, I decided to stay. The consequences of this decision have led me to explore the behavior elicited by the policy of detaining drivers in fatal accidents for 72 hours. As a foreigner living in El Salvador for over ten years, I’ve had the opportunity to experience different transit policies and observe the systemic behaviors they produce. With this article, I aspire to stimulate a constructive dialogue on the conditions that lead may Salvadoran citizens to flee the scenes of serious accidents.
The Circumstances of the Accident:
As for the circumstances of the accident, I had been driving under the speed limit, in my lane, and had no alcohol in my bloodstream. The victim, allegedly intoxicated, had chosen to ignore two pasarelas, jump over a meter-high concrete wall and dart barefoot across a highway with oncoming traffic at dusk. According to the local police, pedestrians die in this strip on a weekly basis.
The Decision to Stay and its Consequences:
In the seconds that followed the impact, I perceived two exclusive alternatives. I could stay, facing the consequences of the accident or I could flee, avoiding a potentially violent reaction from the victim or his friends, eluding capture, economic costs, and time-consuming hassles that could result from reconciling. I decided to stay.
The 911 operator’s response to my call signaled what I considered to be a weakness in the system. When I told him what had just occurred, he replied, “We’ll send a unit” and then urgently suggested “Sir, get the hell out of there.” When I share with Salvadorans my decision to stay, many either compliment my ethical behavior or laugh at my naive faith in the legal system. Some argue that “that’s just how it is,” or “that’s just the culture here.” I couldn’t disagree more. The Salvadoran culture (or any culture per se) does not foster fearful behavior or unwillingness to assume responsibility in difficult situations.
In Theory and In Practice:
As structured today, the transit policy leads people to the logical conclusion that their best option -without a doubt- is to flee the scene of serious accidents. The systemic economic and personal repercussions of the policy lead good people to behave irresponsibly insofar as civil behavior is essentially punished. As a result of my decision to submit myself to the system, I was detained in police custody, absent from work and family for three days. I paid the family members of the victim despite his extreme negligence and incurred in transportation costs while my vehicle (and license) were confiscated for over two months.
When I ask, “What is the purpose of detaining drivers for 72 hours?” I receive two types of explanations: the first claims that the jail-time represents, in theory, a period of investigation when lawyers also negotiate with the victims family members. The second argues that the driver is detained to keep him/her from fleeing the country before having a) been proven not liable or b) paid compensated the victim’s family. In practice, according to the prosecution, 90% of drivers under similar circumstances flee the scene.
To those of you with influence in legal circles or agents of change in general, I ask: “What would happen to this tendency if such civil disputes were resolved without penal punishment? How can the legal system incentivize more responsible and civil behavior?”

en | N/A | N/A | F. For those of you who do… my name is still Chris. Before getting started, here is a snapshot of myself. I am a 25-year-old who has recently graduated from his masters at Cambridge. I adore long walks, board games, deep conversations and being generally creative. I had three gap years (yep, you read that right, THREE!) I have a physics brain but studied theology and I hope that my friends would descirbe me as whole hearted, although that doesn’t detract from my many faults.
Another particularly relevant characteristicwork, I love saying yes. (It’s the people pleaser in me.) If you have ever watched the Jim Carey movie, ‘Yes Man’, – the main character, Carl, says no to everything to begin with – well, I was the anti-Carl. This can complicate things when it comes to time management, as I wanted to say yes to every event, social gathering, summer camp and phone call but, sadly, it is not possible to bi-locate at will (at least I don’t think it is!). To manage this compulsive ‘yes’ that came out of my mouth, I usedway so that I could balance work and social time. WRONG! That was a lie. Instead… I used to hide. I used to say yes to as many possible activities as possible, burnout and then try to avoid being asked to do anything by hiding. Now I am a little better… instead I say ‘Maybe’ or ‘I’ll think about it’ and don’t follow up. A very polite, very British, ‘no’ – which essentially is still hiding or rather avoiding the question.
Instead of treating my calendar as a plan which I use to regiment my life, I now plan significant parts of my day, and then update my calendar to reflect how I actually used my time that day.
So here is the first post blog post and it is about how to get around to saying ‘no’ to people with legitimate reasoning, and, therefore, hopefully, guilt-free. One of the difficult things I found in saying yes or no to demands on my time, was not knowing if I would have enough time to give. Consequently, I would say yes to everything and then let people know when I have a clash of events. However, in hindsight one of the tools, or rather habits, I have taken up while interning with TimeNavi, that would have been vital in my decision making, is time registering. It would have been the first step to understanding how much time I have to give. This shift in my understanding of my calendar as being something that rules and structures my day to something that actually reflects the reality of my day has lasting effects in the long run. Now, a month or so down the line, when I am planning time for the future, I know how long that meeting or event usually takes and I can schedule it with a good guess-timate. PLUS, now I can actually see whether I have the time to say yes or no to other demands on my time and judge accordingly whether it is wise and prudent to say yes, or if this will be too demanding.
Can you help? Do you have any advice on making it easier to say ‘no’ to people?
P.S: – I recently read that there are different types of ‘question-askers.’ There are those who ask questions and genuinely do not think about whether a person will answer yes or no, and there are those who ask questions and expect the answer to be yes. Interestingly, those who fall into the latter category, who ask question only if they expect the answer to be yes, when they are asked a question, they, apparently, think that the person is expecting the answer to be yes as well! Therefore, they feel pressured to answer yes. Yet often, said questioner is asking with no expectation. This leads to this unhealthy cycle of people feeling pressured to say yes. This has helped me say no to people, or at least take the pressure off saying yes! Can anyone else relate?
This was such an interesting read – especially as someone who has never had issues saying “no”! I ask people lots of things but with the trust that they will be honest, and be able to say “no” (and I MUCH prefer a “no” than a “maybe” or “I’ll think about it”!). For me, it’s honesty that matters the most and I hate to be left hanging! |

en | N/A | N/A | Theresa May is to spell out her aims for UK-EU trade after Brexit, declaring she hopes to agree an "ambitious economic partnership" with the bloc. In a major sthe Prime Minister will claim Britain will become "a champion of free trade" after Brexit. She is delivering the sixth and final "Road to Brexit" speech in a series of addresses by senior Cabinet ministers, detailing the Government's plans for the UK outside the EU. But Mrs May has been forced to respond to the demand by Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, along with rebel Conservative MPs AnThe European Parliament has rejected Theresa May's monumental concession on EU migrants at the behest of non other than the bespectacled rabid liberal that is Guy Verhofstadt. Yesterday, the Home Office published a document showing May was willing to allow EU migrants arriving in Britain after March 2019 (so during the indefinite transition period) to gain settled status and bring their families over – as long as they earn more than £18,600-a-year. This was a massive backtrack – she previously said this simply wouldn't happen. But now the EU's actually said her latest capitulation doesn't go far enough. Are they joking?
Britain would refuse to enforce any new border in Ireland even if there is a 'no deal' Brexit, a Cabinet minister has told The Independent. The minister said it would be "impossible" t With the EU saying this week that a border is the only option if Britain refuses to stay aligned with European customs and regulation, the minister added: "If they want to put up a border, let them try." The Cabinet minister told The Independent: "It'. "You cannot put up enough fences. It was the same in the 70s – we could never stop terrorists coming across it. Even if there is no deal, I can see no reason why we would try to enforce the border."

Mr Tusk also said that a "hard border on the island of Ireland" is one of the "possible negative consequences" of the kind of Brexit set out by the UK's red lines, Donald Tusk said. He continued saying: "The EU wants to prevent this scenario hence if no other is found the proposal "Until now nobody has come up with anything wiser than that."

n its warning of action against western forces, the previously unknown group said in a statement obtained by Reuters: "We have seen and heard of the American and British interference in Darfur and there is no doubt that this is a crusader war that bears no relation to the citizens of Darfur."
Now that's chutzpah for you. When did people like the poor woman below become "Crusaders"? |

Global warming is a massive natural phenomenon that is threatening the world and our existence. Science believed that global warming and climate change started in the late 1800s.
Humans are attributed as the major cause of global warming. Thus, it is our battle to fight against this phenomenon.
Here are 7 Eeffects of Global Warming on The World:
Extreme temperatures & 5G Integration
Along Extreme temps throughout the world, we’re seeing Massive 5G rollouts throughout the whole world in the upcoming years. This has been attributed to many issues in the world, although some are farfetched, others are merited, as seen in this article about 5G Protection from IRDA.org.
More polluted air
The rise in temperature also increases the ground-level ozone, which is produced by cars and industries. Also, when ice melts, methane is being released. These harmful chemicals threaten air quality, which also promotes easier access to certain diseases.

en | N/A | N/A | Do you find yourself constantly questioning the direction of your business, putting off decisions, or doing things that seem productive – like searching for a better business plan format or diving into learning about something that could help your business? It could be that you’re stuck in the Thinking Trap – but maybe you’ve got other procrastination vices. Either way, we’re all susceptible to procrastination (to differing extents) but the successful people succeed because they have tools to help them stop procrastinating and take action.
I was once at a seminar where the business coach asked a crowd of business owners which they thought was more important – planning or action. I was stunned that more than half of the attendees regarded planning as more important. (Carissa from this coaching business soon set them straight!) Without a good plan, it’s true that you might not be optimising your business, but without action, there is literally nothing! So develop a mindset where you have a bias for ACTION. Action is what gets things done. Sure you might make mistakes but you’ll still make far more progress than those waiting for everything to be perfect before taking action!
So how do we kick ourselves into action? What are the habits that successful people have to stop procrastinating and take action?
While I can’t speak for everyone, these tips have worked for me and several entrepreneurs I know…
Having a vague sense that we want to be more productive is not really something that’s going to spur us into action. The first step is to have a specific goal or outcome that we’re trying to achieve. You can have more than one, but don’t try to do everything at once.
Often we’re not taking action because we don’t really know what we should be doing next. Take a few moments now to list out the exact next steps you need to do to move this project forward. You don’t need define all the steps – just the next few to get you started.
Yes, put it on the calendar and stick to it. Even if it’s something as small as making a phone call, if it’s something you’ve been avoiding, put it on the calendar. For a big task, you might need to block out several time periods to work on it. Whatever you do, when that time rolls around, make sure you don’t allow yourself to do anything else but work on this project.
4) Get your bum in the chair…
…open up the program/s you need to work on, close everything else and sit there. “Bum in chair” is one of the best productivity methods I know!
5) Set a timer
Use the pomodoro technique or some variation of it to give yourself a short, but concentrated amount of time to focus on your one task. (You don’t have to use 20 minutes, choose a shorter time if you’re really struggling or longer if you’re confident in your abilities to stay focussed.) You can use the timer on your phone or something like e.ggtimer.com to keep you accountable.
6) Set yourself up to be on a roll
Congratulations! You’ve made a great start and you may even be tempted to keep going while you have momentum. And you should – but not until your momentum runs out! Instead, try to leave your project at a point that will make it easy to come back to tomorrow. Don’t wait until you’re stuck on a tricky part as that will just make it all the more difficult to get started tomorrow. Writer Ernest Hemingway was famous for stopping his writing mid-sentence and explained it as such;
“You write until you come to a place where you still have your juice and know what will happen next and you stop and try to live through until the next day when you hit it again.”
7) Use your procrastination tendencies to your advantage
Like it or not, it’s natural that we avoid the hardest task in favour of something else that might be easier. So take advantage of this tendency and create an even bigger, scarier project so that you can get the easier project done! It sounds counterintuitive but it works! Choose something that you really want to do, but have currently put in the “later”, “too hard” or “too scary” list.
Do you have any tips or tricks to overcome procrastination? I’ll give anything that can help us stop procrastinating and take action a go, so let us know!

Thanks for yet another motivating article Fiona. I especially like the “bum in the chair method”!
Yes, a very high-tech name too 🙂 It works extremely well – so long as all the distracting shiny apps are shut down…
April 28, 2016 at 7:54 am
Great article, thanks! So so true! Action first!
I love this article Fiona. Especially point no. 6. When I am doing something that I consider important I often run out of puff and then struggle to get back into it. This ends up a vicious cycle of not wanting to start something because I am afraid that I won’t finish it!
Thanks Paula – it’s sometimes so hard to tackle those things we find difficult. I sometimes just tell myself to do a crappy first cut to take the pressure off getting it right. It’s so much easier to fix up something that’s half-formed than to start from a clean slate. Now go attack your stuff! |
en | N/A | N/A | Yemen’s Houthi rebels must allow a UN team to inspect a tanker in the Red Sea, which is loaded with more than a million barrels of oil, the British ambassador to the country said on Monday.
The tanker Safer, which has been kept off Yemen's Red Sea coast to operate as a mini-terminal to store and offload oil from Yemen’s inland fields, has reportedly not been used since March 2015, when the region fell under control of the Houthis.
There are serious concerns that the tanker's structure has deteriorated significantly without regular maintenance and that it could explode.
“They just have to give the UN permission to allow an inspection team to go and make an assessment,” ambassador Michael Aron told The National.
“They will probably conclude that the oil needs to be siphoned off and the tanker then dismantled."
The Houthis agreed last August but then reversed their decision.
“There was a team ready to go in. The UN will not have to put together another team,” Mr Aron said.
The UN has repeatedly warned that the tanker was at risk of exploding, possibly causing a disastrous spill in one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes.
A leak or explosion would affectthe UN said.
The tanker is moored north of Yemen’s main port of Hodeidah, which handles about 70 per cs.
Yemen’s Minister of Information, Muammar Al Eryani, said that a leak from the tanker would lead to 138 million litres of oil being spilt into the Red Sea.
“This would be four times worse than the Exxon Valdez oil disaster in Alaska in 1989,” Mr Al Eryani said.
He said a tanker explosion “would lead to the closure of the Hodeidah port for several months, which would cause shortages in fuel and necessary humanitarian items, in addition to an increase in fuel prices by 800 per cent".
The prices of goods and food would double, Mr Al Eryani said.
He said the explosion would damage Yemen’s revenues from fishing by $60 million (Dh220.3m) a year. |

Sermon of His Reverence, Archimandrite Parthenius, on the eighth Sunday after Pentecost, delivered in the monastery Refectory
Today, my dear ones, we’ve heard from the Gospel of this, eighth Sunday after Pentecost, about the miracle that Lord Jesus Christ performed in the desert – namely, He fed overMatthew 14,14-22).
This miracle took place just after Saint John the Baptist’s martyrdom, ordered by king Herod. Christ, mournful, went with His disciples to a lonely place in order to pray. But people, thirsty for His words, eager for His profound teaching, learned where He was and went towards Him in multitudes, walking.
– this is the opening of today’s Gospel reading. Was moved with compassion toward them … When God saw the multitudes arriving there, having left their villages and towns, He was moved with compassion toward them and because of their endeavor, love and their zeal, He healed their diseased. We have seen from the previous Gospel readings that God, in many occasions tests the faith of people before performing a miracle, demanding a confirmation that they believe in His Divine supremacy. In this case however, without being asked for, He Himself healed their diseased and weak. For Him, the fact that they’ve crossed such a long way and came to that lonely place where He was, just to listen to His words, was a sufficient indicator of their faith. Nothing was more important to them, but to delight in the teachings of His Divine mouth. Many of them must have left their families, friends, their work or rest – in a word – left behind every aspect of their everyday life and stayed with God throughout the day till late that night. They were so eager to listen to Christ, that they forgot to take food with them, forgot they’re hungry, forgot about themselves altogether… That’s why, when the disciples realized this, they said to Christ: T
God’s reply is very interesting: They need not depart. Give ye them to eat! Of course, He knew that there wasn’t food enough; but He said so for a few reasons. First, He wanted to test their obedience and faith, to see just how much they trust Him. Also, with this event He taught them to serve people, 1. Peter. 4,10). In the end, He asked them to take care of the hungry people themselves, in order for them to realize their weakness, unless they rely on Him. We have here but five loaves and two fish – the disciples replied. And He said, “Bring them hither to Me” …God, my dear ones, deliberately waited for the evening to come in that desert place, before He performed His miracle. With this He wanted to show us that He is the only way out of any dead – end; that when the Provider is present, there can be no poverty; when the Treasurer is here, even the desert turns into abundance. Remembert, when the Jewish people were leaving Egypt. Namely, as God took pity on His people oppressed by the Pharaoh, He commanded the prophet Moses to carry them out of Egypt, and through him He guided them to the promised land. So, all the people fled and soon came to the Red Sea. Meanwhile, and enraged, pursued them with his army and almost caught up with them. All of a sudden, the children of Israel found themselves in a trap – the sea was in front of them, and the Pharaoh’s army behind their back. They thought: “Did we take the wrong turn? Where should we go now? There is no other way! Why did this happen to us? We didn’t need such a thing! Moses brought us here, it’s his guil4,11). And then, when the people started to disapprove, to reprimand, to cry out to Moses, when they were so afraid and desperate – God performed a miracle. Sometimes, God lets us feel frightened, for us to realize our own weakness, to realize that we can’t be without Him, to humble ourselves and then He intervenes. Because we, as humans, very often put our trust in ourselves and in our own strength; we rely more on our feeble mind and meagerness rather than placing our hopes in Him. Thus, when it seemed like there was no way out, God said to Moses:,15-16). Moses did so and the sea got divided, so the Israeli people passed through as if upon dry ground. The Pharaoh and his chariots followed and pursued them; but, as it is known from the history of the Holy Scripture, the waters returned and all the Pharaoh’s army got drowned. This is asserted by the archeology as well, so whoever wants to know more can do additional reading on this topic.
But what comes to our attention now is the fact that even regarding the miracle with the loaves and two fishes, the situation is equally a dead-end – a desert place, nowhere to buy food from, no way out. From a human point of view, there was really no way out. But, how could The One Who gives food to all this world and Who created the whole Universe, provides for all the live beings; not be able to feed more than five thousand people? What’s that for the Creator of everything?! And, indeed, the Lord performed such a miracle and provided the necessary material food for the people who were primarily hungry for the Word of God, who were longing for the Heavenly Kingdom. The Gospel doesn’t say anywhere that they asked Christ to heal their diseased. No, He Himself showed mercy upon them and first healed their diseased in the end of the day fed them, too. What else does this miracle tell us? Before performing it, God looked up to Heaven, indicating that all the food, even the carnal one, comes from above, from God. That’s why He wants us to be grateful for everything He gives us. Saint John the Chrysostom says: He who always begins his meal with a prayer and thanksgiving to God and finishes it in the same manner, his table will never be empty”. We have somehow forgotten to be grateful to God for the gifts He provides us with. Often, we preoccupy too much with overloading our homes with food and all the other material wealth; with making provisions for a safe future. Or, we have this bad habit of saving money throughout the year so that we could go somewhere on a vacation and there indulge into abundant food and drinks, allow ourselves every luxury, without even noticing around us those who are in need of food or clothes.
In this regard, the miracle also brings us to the conclusion that God wants us is to be plain, modest, be content with what we have. He fed the people with the things available at the moment. The apostles had five loaves and two fish – the simplest food at that time. Fish could be found nearby; they were fishing it at the lake and used it for food. And the loaf is a synonym for a basic meal. Thus we say in the “Lord’s prayer”: “Give us this day our daily bread”. We ask for the simplest thing. The Lord teaches us to be plain everywhere, in each place, to be economical. The Gospel shows us that after everyone was fed, apostles didn’t throw the remaining food although it was so easily obtained, it was God’s gift; but rather collected all the remains in twelve baskets. Hence, we should not throw food but be grateful to God instead and save up. I remember when I was young, as a child, if we accidently drop the slice of bread we held on our hands, my grandmother would pick it up and say: “Now, kiss it!”. So, we would kiss the bread and say: “Lord, forgive us for treating the bread without due respect”. That’s how they taught us to be modest and thankful, to respect every gift from God. Can you see that somewhere nowadays? We came to the point where enormous amount of food is thrown away, while many people are starving to death…
Let’s get back to the evangelic story. Both events – breaking of the loaves in a desert place and crossing the Red Sea, I would say, are hopeless situations – yet God performed a miracle, offered a solution, a way out. So, when we are with Christ, there is no hopeless situation. That’s why one should never be desperate. Seek from God. Seek first the Kingdom of God, wish eagerly to be with Him, tell Him you love Him. These people from today’s Gospel went to seek God in the desert place. They had hope, and most important – they Loved Christ; in order to seek Him, you should love Him. That’s exactly what prayer is: love and longing for God. To pray to God means to love and to seek Him. I go to a monastery because I love Him and I seek Him. Look how many people came to the monastery today, came from all around the country. They drove miles to come here. That’s why God helps them constantly. Many of those who come here often are aware that God rewards them for their feat, receives their prayers and helps them according to their faith. And the faithful, on their part, help us. Thus, we have never been left without bread. There’s always food on the table. I remember, a year before I started my monastic feat at the Bigorski monastery, I came here for the feast of Saint John the Baptist. There I entered a conversation with some people preset, among which with our respected Metropolitan Timothy too, as to how beautiful the monastery was and yet so sad there were no monks in it. We concluded with regret that there were no conditions for monasticism: no Orthodox population around, the monastery couldn’t have its own economy, so consequently it would be hard to endure. But, behold, by God’s mercy and blessing, not only our brotherhood – there’s thirty of us, but so many other people have been fed here, many diseased were healed. What’s all that? That’s what God said to the Apostles: Give ye them to eat! He gave to the Apostles; and they distributed to the people. And it has always been so: today God gives to his servants, the Archbishops, clergy, monks; and they convey to the faithful. Behold, monks went to a desert place; they left everything of this world behind and went to seek God. And we have already said that where He is, there you will find spiritual abundance. That’s why people come to monasteries, to drink from His spring. Of course, God is everywhere and fills everything, He is present in the cities as well, in the homes, in people; and anyone who seeks Him, will find Him. Yet, in the monasteries, in the cenobitic monastic communions, His mercy abundantly flows and nourishes everybody.
In the end, I would like to appeal to you again: be always thankful to God and believe, He will never leave us empty. The table of the grateful man is always rich. I’ve seen it many times in my life. Place hope in God and don’t say: “This is impossible, I’m in a dead – end, it’s hopeless”. That’s what the Israeli people said standing before the Red Sea, and the disciples who were aware that there was not enough food to feed the multitudes. But God took care of both. For Him everything is possible – what we need is just to love Him and to seek Him.
May God give us love and a zeal to constantly seek Him, just as these people from today’s reading sought Him in the desert and were fed both spiritually and materially and were healed from diseases!
May you all be safe and sound and in love with God!

In the sign-magnitude method, the magnitude bits represent the true binary value and the bit preceding the MSB represents the sign of the following bits. C) In the signed-magnitude system all numbers, regardless of their sign, are in straight binary format preceded by a "0" or "1" to denote the sign.
Signed Magnitude Representation uses the Most Significant Bit (MSB) as the sign bit. The MSB is the leftmost bit in a binary number, so in the binary number 101101, 1 is the MSB. In Signed Magnitude Representation, the sign of the number is interpreted as follows: 0 means Positive. 1 means Negative. The magnitude is the size of the number ...

Oct 01, 2016 · A 2009 paper in the Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan noted that the rate of orbital decay of binaries is “1–2 orders of magnitude faster” than theory predicts. Although our estimate is 2–3 orders of magnitude faster (that’s around 400 times faster), the paper confirms our basic findings.

The rest of the question presents an interesting procedure for adding binary representations of integers. Instead of using two's-complement exclusively, however, this method begins with the two operands ($-5$ and $3$) in a four-bit signed-magnitude representation, and ends with the result ($-2$) in four-bit signed-magnitude representation.
Chapter 4: Binary Operations and Relations 4.1: Binary Operations DEFINITION 1. A binary operation on a nonempty set Ais a function from A Ato A. Addition, subtraction, multiplication are binary operations on Z. Addition is a binary operation on Q because Division is NOT a binary operation on Z because Division is a binary operation on
Sign Magnitude Format. The first format for negative numbers we will explore is the sign-magnitude format. The format is easy to understand. For any given binary number add an additional bit to represent the sign of the number. If the sign bit is set, then the number is negative. If the sign bit is clear then the number is positive.
The remaining 7 bits will be used to represent the magnitude. The binary representation of decimal 31 is given by the following sequence 0011111. That is, 31 10 = <DIGITS>. The sign-and-magnitude representation of the number is <DIGITS>. To represent the sign-and-magnitude of – 31, the sign bit is changed from 0 to 1.

Not only is the average time an order of magnitude faster than the already fast binary search Python implementation, but the speed is also sustained across all elements regardless of where they are. The price for that gain is approximately 0.5 GB of more memory consumed by the Python process, slower load time, and the need to keep that ...
Which is the most significant bit in signed magnitude How to convert from signed binary to decimal What drawbacks are associated with the signed bit representation; Practice Exams.
Signed-Magnitude representation: • This is the simplest method. • Write the magnitude of the number in binary. Then add a 1 to the front of it if the number is negative and a 0 if it is positive. • Examples: +7 would be 111 and then a 0 in front so <DIGITS> for an 8-bit representation.
Now, if we take two’s complement of unsigned binary number then we get signed binary representation of a number which is nothing but negative equivalent the unsigned binary number. To understand this in an easy way, consider previous example of 38 10. Let us convert the number 38 10 into binary. 38 10 = <DIGITS>
Jan 11, 2020 · Sign-Magnitude Form. If we have an n-bit binary number, one of the bits is the sign bit. The remaining (n-1) bits in the binary number represent the magnitude. This sign bit represents whether the binary number is positive or negative. The binary number system has only two values – 0 and 1.
For the case of binary coupled data, however, only methods exist that go for a simultaneous analysis of all data blocks but that do not account for noise heterogeneity. Therefore, in this paper, the SIMCLAS model, being a Hierarchical Classes model for the simultaneous analysis of coupled binary two-way matrices, is presented.
Conversion of Signed Numbers to Two’s Complement. Signed Numbers are 8 bit quantities with the least significant 7 bits representing the magnitude and the most significant bit indicating the sign. 0 in this bit indicates the number is positive, and 1 indicates it is negative. There is no magnitude information in this 8 th bit-just the sign.

Generally, binary options pay out within a range of 75% to 95%. This percentage is made clear before the trade is made. Other than being higher or lower than the starting price, the closing price does not affect the magnitude of the payout. As binary trading becomes more sophisticated, the amount that can be won is evolving too.
· Sign-and-magnitude representation is the conventional way for representing signed integer numbers · The number is represented as a sign followed by a magnitude (e.g. +50, -40) · A number that contains no sign is considered positive
3.1 Signed Magnitude of Binary Numbers. In a sign magnitude representation, the most significant digit (bit) is 0 for positive binary numbers and 1 for negative binary numbers. As we know, for large binary numbers it is more convenient to use hexadecimal numbers. In most computers, negative binary numbers are stored in twos-complement form.

Probably the most straightforward one is the sign-magnitude, which builds naturally on top of unsigned integers. When a binary sequence is interpreted as sign-magnitude, the most significant bit plays the role of a sign bit, while the rest of the bits work the same as usual: In binary, use either 7 bits or 8 bits (by adding a leading zero) to represent an ASCII character. In octal , it is represented with 3 characters (from 000 to 177). In decimal, the number is between 1 and 128 (from 1 to 3 characters). |

From this Spanish period, the Ranchos began trading hides with US merchants in Boston for goods from New England, sailing around South America. The Ranchos also traded with English and European merchants. This trade continued through the Mexican period (1823–1848) as immigrants were offered land if they converted to the Catholic religion and became Mexican citizens, which many did. Many Anglo immigrants married into Spanish families, becoming Californios inheriting and acquiring lands and ranchoswnership of California in 1821, it was soon evident that the era of mission-domination of virtually all land was over. Although the Yorbas-Peraltas retained the 65,512 acres they had been granted by the Spanish, adjacent land became available. By 1837, 35-year-old Jose Sepulvada was awarded an enormous tract and five years later was again awarded land. Combined, his ownership extended almost 47,000 acres, including north to the Santa Ana Mountains, east to today's 55 Freeway, and south to Laguna Beach. It was later discovered that this grant did not include the land surrounding Newport Bay and the oceanfront at Newport Beach, for each was considered worthless.<ref>Baker, Gayle Newport Beach", HarborTown Histories Publications, Santa Barbara, CA, 2004, ISBN (print) 0-9710984-3-3 (e-book) 978-0-09879038-3-9, p. 8-9</ref>
Establishment of Newport
James IrvineIn 1846, at the age of 19, he joined the parade crossing the Atlantic, bound for New York. He continued his journey west, becoming a miner and a merchant. He was soon prosperous enough to partner with the Flints and Bixby to establish a wool business. When they had amassed enough money, they bought Sepulveda's rancho. They were also ready with cash when the Yorbas'- Peraltas' rancho was dissolved by court order. Soon, they were the largest landholders in the region, dominating over 100,000 acres. Tirelessly focused on ranching, Irvine and his descendants continued to own enormous tracts of land, their Irvine Ranch intricately intertwined with the evolution of Newport Beach.
James McFadden, one of 11 children of Scottish ranchers, journeyed to California in 1868 and immediately saw the potential of the Newport area. Soon joined by his brother, Robert, they began buying as much as possible and subdividing it immediately, seeking buyers. After the Civil War, the parade of settlers significantly increased. While most sought prime agricultural land, some did gravitate to the Newport area and a small settlement was born.
During its early years, Newport had many names, including Bolsa de Gengara and Bolsa de San Joaquin. When settlers began to arrive, an easier to pronounce, more prestigious name was wanted. Although there is no proof of its source, most believe that the Name "Newport" came from one of two sources:
1) Some credit Dunnels, who exuberantly proclaimed he had found a "new port" when he crossed the bar.
2) Others contend that an employee of the Irvine Ranch suggested it at a meeting concerning commerce on the bay.
In 1888, the McFaddens decidedif they moved it from the inner shores of the bay to the oceanfront, where it was connected by rail to Santa Ana. So they built McFaddens' Wharf at the location where the Newport Pier is today. "McFadden Wharf soon became the largest business in newly created Orange County", California. It lasted for a's major seaport. The McFadden Wharf and railroad were
In 1905, the Pacific Electric "Red Cars" day.
In 1908 and 1909, with permission of the Orange County Board of Supervisors, William Collins moved his small dredge to the eastern part of the Newport bay, a mud flat called "Snipe Island",y across from the Pavilion, piling the sand and silt up on the mud flat and thus Balboa Island was born. Balboa Island was a summer vacation place. Most homes had no heaters, and were closed up in the winter. Families came down for the entire summer. Cooking was done on a gasoline stove as there was no gas or electricity. Coal oil lanterns and candles were used.
In 1912, the seawall was partially replaced by a cement barrier (cheap German cement). Beek got the first contract for a ferry between the island and Balboa Peninsula.

In 1953, the third international jamboree of the Boy Scouts of America held its event where Newport Center and Fashion Island now sit. It was the first jamboree held west of the Mississippi River and had 50,000 scouts from all 48 states, Alaska, Hawaii and 16 foreign countries. Thousands of tents were pitched in the area reachable only by a two-lane muddy trail called Palisades RoadScouts.
In 1963, the first phase of Eastbluff, the first "community" to be developed under the Irvine Company's master plan, was opened.
In 1967, Fashion Island was completed. Newport Center Drive, a circular road, embraces Fashion Island and gives it the "island" name. Newport Center's first office building, at 400 Newport Center Drive, was completed the same year. |
en | N/A | N/A | People often ask us: What is the best electric bike for me? Well, that depends on what you mainly want the bike for. Many people just want an electric bicycle for short trips - to visit the local shop, to drop by friends, to go to the park, or for light recreation. Bicycles can be a lot faster than walking, and a lot more convenient (and cheaper).
Unfortunately, around 86% of the population find that storing their bike is awkward and the majority of these people say it stops them using their bike. So, if your intention is to use your e-bike for short trips, it is important that it is convenient.

en | N/A | N/A | blessings can come in various ways, spiritual ones is the best, for money can not buy what we get from the Spirit of GOD as we grow in HIS Grace and Knowledge. The WORD of GOD is to be the daily BREAD and it is FREE in most places. The Spirit of GOD is the REFRESHING WATER of LIFE that will never run dry for the thirsty, and they both will sustain you. JESUS paid the price for us to eat and drink FREELY! These ministries do cost. Abraham gave a tenth of his earnings, and the full pay check you make is GOD’S blessing anyhow, and the tenth belongs to the Kingdom’s work. I do wonder how much money is spent on pleasure, unnecessary cloths, food, drinks, driving around using gas, wants…..add up in a week what each one of us spends each dollar on, and figure out at the end of the week how much we spent on eating out, a pop, a candy bar, buying a item we did not have to have to survive on….Is it more than the ten percent that belongs to the work of GOD?
Hmmmm, I feel grieved in my spirit. I agree with you Gil. While Nancy may feel you can just toss $199 away, I don’t believe that is what you are doing or saying. I cannot afford to purchase the CD’s either, however, if I had the money: I would purchase them. 1. I would be able to watch them repeatedly until I get to know the word this minister is teaching. 2. I can learn enough about it and keep it in my memory to be able to witness this word to others. 3. I can pass the CD’s on to others so they may be able to gain the same understanding. 4. How old is this minister and how much longer will he be ministering. I could keep his words after he passes and it will keep the memory of his teachings in my memory. 5. I have ten extremely pesty 20 year olds who are bombarding me with questions about this and they are looking at the power people claim to have. The power the witches use in Wicca, Transcendentalism powers to move your spirit to another area of the world, etc. The power of the Holy Spirit and what it is. I could use these CD’s to help them get to know Jesus while teaching them how not to be deceived by all of that garbage. Then they in turn, can share that information with others they know who are asking too. They are called souls. Yes, they can get on here and get some of the information free like I do. But, as I have said, a CD ensures this ministry will remain alive and well. The costs of the CD’s are cheap compared to the value of a soul. Those of us who minister for the Lord need any helpful tools we can receive. This money is not to make this man wealthy, it is to pay for expenses. Who out there has children in school? Are you buying or renting books to teach your kids? What is the difference? That you don’t have to buy the CD’s and you do have to get the school books? We are purchasing those books so our kids can learn. We purchase our Bibles so we can learn. Is that Bible free? Only if someone gives it to you as a gift. Gil stated Irvin Baxter has been studying this for years. I have only been on this for one month. Without his word, I would be stuck by now. He is making the information he has so much easier for me to study and in a lot less time. Who has the time he has put into this? Everyone works. Irvin Baxter would have to be a billionaire to be able to pass all of this on to us for free? I just don’t see it. I’m not a billionaire, neither is he? He is doing as God has asked him to do. Those of us who have the money should be obedient to God to help increase the ministry. A world ministry is not cheap and this ministry is covering the world, not just one house hold or one church. I dearly, dearly appreciate the free information, I really do. But if I had the money, I would purchase the information to keep. I love the Lord and I love him so much, that I would give all I have to be able to have information about him. I do not believe there is a price you can put on his word. It is far too valuable and precious to me.
Irvin Baxter conferences are free to the public. Irvin and his wife Judy pastor since he was 18 years old after his father who was the pastor passed away, and he and Judy to my knowledge lived up stairs from their Church, even after it grew big enough for him to live in a fine home. Irvin and his wife have given their daily life unto the anointed talent and call that GOD had called them unto. What drives Irvin, you & I to not be deceived, but to be saved for eternity. The cost of the material is what he needs to reach out. Irvin is just another willing vessel living his life for the gospel to reach as many as GOD will allow him to reach. Irvin does not live the rich and famous life at all. He has poured everything into reaching the world with the gospel of the Kingdom.
While this may all be in the Word, or just a fact of life, Christ also said “we have always the poor with us”. So, everyone can’t afford to pay for this – and it’s not wrong for them to admit it. I can’t afford it, and there’s nothing wrong with me, my faith, my needing to pay my living expenses, etc., first, after paying my tithe and giving whatever I am able to give, and plant in good soil. Those of us who don’t have $199 to put towards a deeper understanding of the end times are obliged to find what we can learn in other ways – but how about considering this – while you may be able to just toss $199 to something which makes it easy to learn about Bible prophecy – which is all neatly organized and explained – those of us who are not able to pay for it actually put forth more effort – like Ruth gleaning “leftovers” in Boaz’ field – and so we “pay” a higher price in physical and mental effort to learn what you are able to be spoon fed. God bless you, and may– I am concerned that it may be a difficult thing for you to live that way.
No. Jesus never charged money. Walking with him was free. You miss it completely! You cannot justify what(man) has done to steal what is free and should always be given freely. That is what makes a disciple! To give and not ask for anything in return, trusting that God will provide. That is what (giving) is all about. People tithe from their heart to support the missions. Even that has been twisted in the churches to support the buildings instead of the journey!
Agree Renee, Jesus is the perfect example of HIS day, and we are to walk like HE did. I feel a day will come, that we will see the difference between those who are true disciples and those who are making it a living for riches of this old world. The buildings are getting more elaborate and very costly while the mission fields are needy. Two wrongs do not make a right. There is a right way with pure ministries. The days of those called that went out in pure faith and no money, but a call from JESUS and a Burden for souls to be reached are not over. JESUS said, HE would not come back until HIS Gospel is preached in all the world until all nations, then the end will come. I am sure JESUS knew that the media airwaves, planes, boats, automobiles would be a way of the gospel reaching the world…and it takes funds to get the message there. JESUS also knew that there would be abuse, and HE will judge it as well.
Brother I understand what you mean. I have just started back seeking the Lord and let me tell you he will not leave you ignorant. Just keep seeking him. Those who charge money for the gospel will pay for it in the end. I started reading in the book of James and ended in Jude. It talks about how they will make merchandise of you. I believe that it will be as it was in the days of Acts home to home groups of brothers and sisters in Christ sharing as each one was blessed and given. Pray that God would put you in touch with who you need to be speaking with so that you may grow. Most people think we will be taken up before Christ returns but I believe that we may have to die for our faith. May the Lord Bless and Keep you He will give you His Holy Spirit that you will not lack anything you need to keep your self.

en | N/A | N/A | Welcome to the Perl review for Week 106 of the Weekly Challenge! Here we will take the time to discuss the submissions offered by the team, factor out the common methodologies that came up in those solutions, and highlight some of the unique approaches and unusual code created.
Abigail, Adam Russell, Athanasius, Cheok-Yin Fung, Colin Crain, Cristina Heredia, Dave Jacoby, E. Choroba, Flavio Poletti, James Smith, Jorg Sommrey, Lance Wicks, Laurent Rosenfeld, Lubos Kolouch, Mohammad S Anwar, Niels van Dijke, Paulo Custodio, Pete Houston, Peter Mayr, Roger Bell_West, Simon Green, Stuart Little, Ulrich Rieke, W. Luis Mochan, and Wanderdoc
There were 25 submissions for the first task this past week. The task involves comparing each element to its neighbors; these comparisons can be broken down into two groups — those that directly examine the elements themselves, and those that indirectly reference the values through the index positions of the array holding them.
And yes, there were also a few methods that defied this simple categorization.
The methods on the whole were short and succinct. Let’s have a look at some of the techniques we saw.
ITERATING over the INDICES
When comparing neighboring elements in an array, it’s natural to consider them by index. That way, the adjacent element is either one index higher or lower, and its position can easily be computed mathematically.
…using either a for loop
Athanasius, Cheok-Yin Fung, Cristina Heredia, Dave Jacoby, E. Choroba, Lance Wicks, Laurent Rosenfeld, Paulo Custodio, Pete Houston, and Roger Bell_West
The for loop seemed to be the go-to tool when iterating through the array values. First the array is sorted — every submission required this basic first step. A range is then constructed over a subset of the indices, either starting at 1 or ending 1 before the last index. Then two neighboring elements can be accessed at the index and either minus or plus one, respectively. The range is traversed, and the difference found between each pair. If this exceeds the current maximum known gap it takes the place of the old value.
To start us off Lance brings us his own Maxgap module, because that’s how he rolls.
Inside is a very clean implementation of the technique: first sorting, then iterating over a numerical list of the the indices, choosing the largest difference between the value at an index and the value at the index previous. It’s clean. I like it.
sub maxgap {
my ($self, @integers) = @_;
@integers = sort @integers;
my $maxgap = 0;
for my $i (1 .. @integers-1){
my $gap = $integers[$i] - $integers[$i-1];
if ( $gap > $maxgap) {
$maxgap = $gap;
return $maxgap;
Choroba brings us a quite compact example of a very similar implementation. You might consider this to be a basic form, with the three steps laid out: sort, iterate and compute the differences, and from these locate the maximum value.
sub maximum_gap {
my @arr = sort { $a <=> $b } @_;
for my $i (1 .. $#arr) {
my $diff = $arr[$i] - $arr[ $i - 1 ];
$max = $diff if $diff > $max;
Christina builds a loop that stops one before the last element, comparing a given index with the one following. Before or after makes no difference.
if (@N != 1) {
my @sorted = sort { $a <=> $b } @N;
for (my $i= 0; $i<@N-1; $i++) {
$sub = $sorted[$i+1] - $sorted[$i];
if ($sub > $result) {
As usual, the monk provides us with a robust application to the task, with thorough input validation and well-structured output. They also thought to include a --unique flag, that when set on the command line preprocesses the elements for uniqueness; as the gap between any element and itself will always be 0, any duplicates can be safely removed without harm. The only penalty is the time it takes to do so, so the feature is left as an option.
my ($unique, $N) = parse_command_line();
printf "Input: \@N = (%s)\n", join ', ', @$N;
my @sorted = sort { $a <=> $b } @$N; # Sort ascending
@sorted = uniqint @sorted if $unique; # Optionally remove dups
my $max_gap = 0;
# Test every difference between successive elements in the sorted array
for my $i
my $diff = $sorted[ $i ] - $sorted[ $i - 1 ];
$max_gap = $diff if $diff > $max_gap;
print "Output: $max_gap\n";
There’s always going to be that sort of person who says: “You know you could save half on that refrigerator if you just built it yourself.” I admire this sort of person. The plucky “can do” atitude. Carry your own water. Cut your own wood.
CY starts the ball rolling by writing her own sort. Who does that? “Can do” people, that’s who. While she’s in there doing the work herself, fighting entropy one list at a time, she notes the difference between each pair of sorted elements as she holds them up, keeping a running tally of the largest she finds.
At the end of the sort she is left with the maximum. See? That wasn’t so hard.
if ($#N != 0) {selection_sort();}
print $max_dif, "\n";
sub max_ind {
my $max = $arr[0];
for my $i (1..$#arr) {
if ($arr[$i] > $max) {
return $max_i;
swap_arr_N(0, max_ind(@N));
for my $i (1..$#N) {
swap_arr_N($i, $i+max_ind(@N[$i..$#N]));
my $dif = $N[$i-1] - $N[$i];
$max_dif = $dif if $dif > $max_dif;
sub swap_arr_N {
($N[$_[0]], $N[$_[1]]) = ($N[$_[1]], $N[$_[0]]) if $_[0]!=$_[1];
Laurent’s solution is simplicity itself, so much that he reimplements his submission in a half a dozen other languages. Bravo. Here they are, for a comparative analysis:
…or as a map function
Abigail, Simon Green, Stuart Little, W. Luis Mochan, and Wanderdoc
Because of my unnatural fondness for listwise operators, when I first thought this challenge through I came up with using map to do my bidding. Iterating across the indices starting from 1, we look at each element and the one preceding and take the difference. This generates a list of differences, which we can then scan to find the maximum.
We do this all this after we sort, of course. We always sort. It is the way.
Simon shows how compact this idea can be, wrapping all three components into a single line, and even presenting it as a proper command line one-liner.
perl -E 'use List::Util "max"; my @a = sort { $a <=> $b } @ARGV; say max(0, map { $a[$_] - $a[$_-1] } (1 .. $#a) )' <DIGITS>
Taking ever-so-slightly more room to make his case, Abigail presents the logic in a similarly compact form. Bit more readable this way, I’d say. I like a little air in the code. YMMV.
Luis brings us a little variation, using reduce from List::Util to construct his own max function from base components, always keeping and passing through the larger of the two values examined.
or alternately, ITERATING over the VALUES
We can just loop over the values themselves. As we know we’re going to look at every pair of elements we don’t really need or care about the specific index values themselves. We only need to know the value of whatever element we looked at previously so we can compare it to the current one.
…with either a for loop
James Smith, Lubos Kolouch, Mohammad S Anwar, and Peter Mayr
James unrolls what is basically the action of a reduce function in his max_gap() subroutine, examining each element of the sorted array in turn against a stored previous element. At the end of the comparison the current element replaces the stored previous and the next element is examined.
my( $max, $p, @sorted ) = ( 0, sort { $a <=> $b } @_ );
# Shift off first value ($p), we will loop through @sorted and
# compare the difference between value and previous value ($p).
# At the end of each iteration we will replace $p with the next
# value
# This saves us having to loop through elements using an index
# and calculating - $sorted[$_+1]-$sorted[$_]..
$max = $_ - $p if $_ - $p > $max;
$p = $_;
…or by using map with a block
Flavio constructs his map with a twist: like James, he maintains the previous value through each iteration to make the comparison with this next. In this way he doesn’t need to iterate across the indices, instead using the values themselves. At each loop the difference is calculated with the previous, the current is saved to the previous, and the difference returned in the processed list. The maximum value in this list is the maximum gap.
…or even shifting the array out from underneath
Adam first sorts his list, of course, and then applies an unusual little construction: a recursive routine which finds the gap between the first two elements, then trims the list one element from the beginning and calls itself again. At each stage the gap is chosen to be the larger of the gap found between the first elements and that returned by the recursion. Thus the largest gap will propagate through as the recursion finishes and collapses, providing the result.
THEN AGAIN, we could even ITERATE in some OTHER, UNUSUAL way
Colin Crain, Jorg Sommrey, Niels van Dijke, and Ulrich Rieke
Ulrich gives us a intermediary routine, createPairs(), which breaks the sorted array down into tuples of element neighbors. Elements from the interior indices are hence represented twice, in two pairs: one as a left-hand element, the other as a right. The gap is thus the difference between the two items in the pair.
sub createPairs {
my $numbers = shift ;
my $len = scalar @{$numbers} ;
my @pairs ;
for my $i (0 .. $len - 2 ) {
push @pairs , [ $numbers->[$i] , $numbers->[$i + 1]] ;
return @pairs ;
my @sorted = sort { $b <=> $a } @numbers ;
my @pairs = createPairs( \@sorted ) ;
my @differences = sort { $b <=> $a } map { ${$_}[0] - ${$_}[1] } @pairs ;
say $differences[ 0 ] ;
When I first thought out this challenge, my mind went to map, as I can see was often the case. The obvious problem that arises immediately is that map applies a function over individual elements in a list, and here we have to compare two elements, each element to its neighbor. The ways to get around this are, as we have seen, either to map across the indices of the array, looking up the index to get the value and subtracting 1 from the index to get the neighbor, or keeping tabs on whatever the previous value was so we cn reuse it. Either way we can use this method to digest a list into a list of differences, and then go find the largest value from that.
But let’s return to map and its fundamental nature of only applying a function to one element at a time. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to apply a function, as map does, over pairs of adjacent elements directly? Well, there is another option, reduce, that sort of does that. For those that do not know, reduce does take a binary function as its argument, sort of. It acts on two internal parameters, $a and $b, only it automatically places the result of its actions into $a for the next iteration, drawing only a single new value from the list as $b. So the binary operation part sounds like something we could use, but the assignment of the result to $a is a little sticky. We can subtract $a from $b to get our difference (of a sorted array), and then put $b into $a by making it the result, allowing us to compare the next pair of elements when we draw the next value into $b. But then where do we keep our comparison? We need another variable.
The thing is — anything can be in our block, including anything in scope when we call reduce. If we declare our $gap accumulator there, we can look at it to get our result when we’re done.
sub gap_reduce (@list) {
reduce { $gap = $b - $a if $b - $a > $gap; $b } sort {$a<=>$b} @list;
This works well and there’s nothing wrong with it. But there is one thing, in that we seem to be somehow missing the point: reduce works over a list to use those values to compute a new value from the elements. When we are done, we have reduced a list to a single value, hence the name. What we’ve done here instead is to create a side effect of noticing the largest difference between values as the list is being processed en passant, then thrown away the result of the iterations and just kept the side effect. This whole idea rubs some people, functional purists you might say, the wrong way.
That last bit is a little play on words because a function that has no side effects outside its immediate scope — it makes no interactions with the world outside its parameters and return value — is called a “pure” function. And the block we’ve defined isn’t pure, it needs $gap to report its findings. The function gap_reduce() is pure, but the block called in the reduce is not. This really only matters if you want to strictly apply this credo of functional programming — that functions are discrete units that perform their actions in a defined, repeatable way independant of the state of the outside world they live within.
I admit it annoyed me, and so I went on to also implement the map index method outlined above. As the indexes of an array are an integral part of the data structure this map can be said to take a function and a list and output a list of differences between values, which we can then find the maximum of. Everything is pure.
I did go back some time later and revisit the problem, making the block given to reduce properly pure. It’s more complex now, lacking the elegance of the original. We keep $gap within the block, and only output it in the last iteration. This involves keeping another variable to count indexes, so either $b is the last result, to be placed into $a for the next cycle, or $gap, which being the final value is returned.
You can probably tell I like reduce a lot. It’s a fun concept to play with.
## version 3 - reduce redux
sub gap_reduce_redux (@list) {
scalar @list > 1 ? reduce { my $gap //= 0;
my $idx++;
$gap = $b - $a if $b - $a > $gap;
$idx == @list-1 ? $gap : $b
} sort {$a<=>$b} @list
Jorg gives us a sort in void context, which is not a construction I can ever recall seeing before. From that odd beginning we see how he harnesses a side effect inside the sort block to find the gaps. No matter what other comparisons are made for a given element, each must be compared at some point against its final neighbors, right? So, as the gap between smaller and larger is an absolute value we need only consider half the gaps, and we choose those going upward to a higher value. By taking the smallest of these gaps as the a hash value keyed to a given element, we end up storing the distance to its closest higher neighbor, the next rightward when sorted. This hash will end up with keys for every element save the highest, and the largest value in this hash will be the maximum gap between elements.
# Regardless of the sorting algorithm in use, every pair of neighboring
# elements must be compared in the process. Otherwise the succession of
# such pair would remain undetermined. Finding the gaps as mimimum
# differences while comparing and taking the maximum thereof afterwards.
my %gap;
# Discard the sort result.
my ($l, $h) = $a < $b ? ($a, $b) : ($b, $a);
# Considering different values only.
$gap{$l} = min $h - $l, ($gap{$l} // 'inf') if $h > $l;
$a <=> $b} @_;
(max values %gap) // 0;
There’s another list-processing function available, this one in List::MoreUtils that takes a binary operation, and that’s pairwise. Unfortunately this doesn’t take from a single list, but rather takes two lists, drawing one element from each and supplying the given BLOCK with the values. This is great obstacle; all Niels need do is restructure his data as a pair of array slices with a 1-index offset. Then each value will be compared with the next along, and the largest of thes calculated values is the maximum gap.
my @i = sort { $a <=> $b } @_;
my @p1 = @i[0 .. scalar(@i)-2];
return max(pairwise { $b - $a } @p1, @p2);
When researching List::MoreUtils, I found that since version 0.430, released Oct 21 2020, there’s now a function slide that “slides” across a list exactly as we need it to, applying a binary operation to each pair of values as it goes. From the docs:
Sweet. So to roll up a quick solution:
use List::MoreUtils qw(slide);
use List::Util qw(max);
say max slide { $b - $a } sort {$a<=>$b} @input;
Input: $N = 1, $D = 3
Input: $N = 1, $D = 2

There were only 16 working solutions for the second task this past week. The overwhelming choice in technique was implementing some form of long division algorithm to divide the numerator by the denominator, keeping track of and monitoring the remainder portion at each step to notice either a 0 — indicating an even division had been made — or a remainder that had previously been seen, indicating that a loop cycle was complete. The schemes to implement this all shared a common similarity, albeit cast through personal idiosyncrasies.
The second most common method attempted was to parse out a repeating decimal with a regular expression. This was complicated by both floating point accuracy, which could produce incorrect digits in the division, and by the the puzzle of correctly discriminating a repeating final reptend from other simple repeating sequences that could arise.
In addition, there were some more mathematically theoretical submissions. We’ll be having a look at those as well, alongside a very interesting port from the Raku source-code of the .base-repeating method available in that sister language.
the CRITERIA
This challenge yet again put me in the difficult situation of having to decide, against a rather simple and open-ended specification, whether a given method works or not. The obvious item to search for is the correct identification of a repeating decimal, but as these can be quite long other factors such as the accuracy of floating point numbers can come into play in that evaluation.
It stands to reason, then, that any solution based on using standard, floating-point division can be broken by tossing enough complexity at it.
My sources tell me, for instance, that 1/5714207 has a reptend that’s 5714206 digits long. That’s a lot of significant digits. I’m not going to check that result, but you get my point. So although this is a valid consideration, it does seem wrong to throw out every answer that uses built-in division on this basis. Where then, do I draw the line?
The above fraction takes a few seconds for me to compute, and even a noticeable amount of time to display after it’s done. For the fraction 1/<PHONE>, well, I imagine it would eventually give an answer — there’s no reason besides my impatience with a control key that it wouldn’t. And that’s only the 50,000,000th prime. There’s plenty more where that came from. So of course we can “break” any algorithm that way as well, by exceeding the power of whatever machine we use to run it.
On the other hand we have 1/17th. This fraction has a 16 digit reptend and is pretty low on the big list of fractions. It seems like a pretty reasonable thing to expect from a repeating decimal program. It’s also the smallest big reptend, you might say, in the class of repetends having k-1 digits for a given fraction 1/k. 7 is like that, with the 6 digits in its familiar 142857 string, but I don’t consider that very large. This is like that too, being the next larger version, followed by 1/19 and 1/23. This class of numbers, incidentally, are known as Full Reptend Primes. 5714207, you might have noticed, would be in there too.
So I went through and ran 1/17 to see if it gave “0.(<DIGITS>)". That was the first big test.
The second test I landed on was less obvious, but that was 1/44 = 0.02(27). This is tricky because it has a repeat that isn’t comprised of leading 0s, being that pair of 2s. Sadly, a few solutions that otherwise looked to be correctly handling things found these and short-circuited, giving the answer 0.0(2).
So what was deemed ok, then? Well one thing that wasn’t commonly implemented was support for negative numbers. Because the main technique employed makes extensive use of Euclidean division, these values caused all kinds of problems with the ceiling versus the floor, and the result is the whole plan doesn’t work unless active steps are made to accommodate them. In fact only four people did. On this basis I decided we wouldn’t care too much about that, as any added robustness seemed being pretty tangental to the main logic anyway. My life is complicated enough; I have no need for an angry mob with pitchforks added to it.
One oddity I saw more than once was seeing 1/17 as 0.0(<DIGITS>). Note the trailing 0. While not necessarily the most compact, or best way to say it, I can’t really say it’s wrong, either. It is, after all, mathematically equivalent, much as the value 1 can be written 1.0 or even 1.(0) if one had some deep need to do so. I recall running into this problem myself, and eventually reworked my answer until it went away. It’s also interesting to me because in both cases it’s cited to be from what appears to be the same python source.
Abigail, Adam Russell, Cheok-Yin Fung, Colin Crain, E. Choroba, Flavio Poletti, Laurent Rosenfeld, Niels van Dijke, Roger Bell_West, Simon Green, W. Luis Mochan, and Wanderdoc
The most common approach to the solution was to implement a version of long division, breaking the larger problem into a sequence of steps involving Euclidean division and pulling down additional decimal 0s from the numerator to the remainder to make each successive step.
We’ll look to Niels to start us off today. Here is his example of the long division logic. At each iteration we add enough zeros to the current remainder to make it greater than the denominator. With this value as the new numerator we store it in a hash against its position, being the current length of the result string we are constructing. Integer division is then performed on the new numerator and the denominator, with the integer portion added to the result string. This continues until either the remainder becomes 0 or is recognized as a key in the %rSeen hash.
If the remainder is found in the hash, the position stored in the value will indicate the beginning of the repeat.
while ($n < $d) {
$n .= '0';
$result .= '0' if ($n < $d);
push(@{$rSeen{$n}}, length($result));
$result .= int
if (scalar(@{$rSeen{$n}}) < 2);
$r = $n % $d;
} while ($r != 0 and scalar(@{$rSeen{$n}} < 2));
Here are the same steps presented by Simon in a slightly different manner. The progress is systematic and straightforward.
while ( $N != 0 and not exists $seen{$N} ) {
# Repeat the division until we've seen a remainder
$seen{$N} = length($digits);
( my $digit, $N ) = _div( $N, $D );
$digits .= $digit;
if ( $N == 0 ) {
# It's not a repeating number
say $digits ? "$whole.$digits" : $whole;
# Add the parenthesis in the correct place, and display the number
substr( $digits, $seen{$N}, 0, '(' );
say "$whole.$digits)";
For my own solution, I used an explicit position counter that logged every remainder seen to its position, whether it had enough zeros added or not. After dancing around the problem for a while and later refactoring out a certain amount of cruft I ended up quite pleased at the simple structure of the final result.
sub ediv ( $num, $den ) {
## Euclidean division of $num by $den returns quotient and remainder
(int( $num / $den ), $num % $den);
my ($whole, $r) = ediv( $num, $den );
while ($r != 0) {
## add one 0 to remainder
## add remainder at every index position to %seen hash
exists $seen{$r} ? last : ($seen{$r} = $pos);
## add additional 0s to remainder and quotient until num > den
## with each 0 increment index position and add to seen hash
until ($r - $den >= 0) {
push @q, 0;
## the long division step
($q, $r) = ediv($r, $den);
push @q => $q;
## three cases:
## * whole number, no decimal
## * isolate and present repeating fraction in parens
## * finishes neatly, join with decimal point
$out = $whole;
elsif ($r) {
my $start = $seen{$r};
my $end = $pos-1;
my @pre = @q[0..$start-1];
my @rep = @q[$start..$end];
$out = join '', $whole, '.', @pre, '(', @rep, ')';
$out = join '', ($whole, '.', @q);
Adam shares a lot of submissions with us in Prolog, and his proclivities show through in his attachment to the logical purity of a nice true or false result. This is perhaps a bit of observational speculation on my part, but in any case he imports the boolean pragma to give him these barewords.
Here he employs a computational switch to avoid looking for a reptend unless the numerator contains prime factors other than 2 and 5. His prime_factor() function does what you’d expect.
Any other prime factor beyond 2 or 5 will produce a repeating decimal, and if this is the case he then performs long division to find a matching remainder using a hash:
It seems both Roger and Laurent have adapted the same Python solution for their submissions; a fact I know for sure because they properly cite their common source. To me the amusing part was that I didn’t pick up on this right away from their respective blog writeups, but rather from a shared notational oddity in their results: yielding “0.0(<DIGITS>)” for 1/17th rather than “0.(<DIGITS>)".
Here’s Roger’s version. From personal experience I found getting rid of that trailing zero shift without breaking other parts to be quite a bother, and it was the simplifying and indiscriminately caching of every remainder examined, whether it was larger than the denominator or not, that ultimately made it go away. Less code, in my case, rather than more. For this version? Who knows.
my $quotient = sprintf( '%d.', $n / $d );
my $c = 10*( $n % $d );
while ( $c > 0 && $c < $d ) {
if ( exists $passed{ $c } ) {
my @cycle = @digits[$passed{ $c }..$#digits];
my $result = $quotient . join( '', @digits[0..$passed{ $c }-1] );
if ( scalar @cycle > 1 || $cycle[0] != 0 ) {
$result .= '('. join( '', @cycle ) .')';
if ( substr( $result, -1, 1 ) eq '.' ) {
substr( $result, -1, 1 )='';
my $q = int( $c / $d );
my $r = $c % $d;
$passed{ $c }=$i;
push @digits, $q;
$c = 10 * $r;
Choroba shares another fine example of long division with a lookup hash for the remainders, with the added bonus of having accommodation for negative numbers. As these complicate Euclidean division, turning floor operations into ceiling and thus no longer allowing us to substitute integer truncation, he neatly sidesteps the issue by removing the signs and properly replacing them after all is over and done.
sub decimal_string {
my ($abs_n, $abs_d) = map abs, $n, $d;
my $result = join "",
($n < 0 xor $d < 0) ? '-' : "",
int($abs_n / $abs_d),
my %seen = (my $remainder = $abs_n % $abs_d => 0);
while ($remainder != 0) {
$remainder *= 10;
$result .= my $r_digit = int($remainder / $abs_d);
my $new_remainder = $remainder % $abs_d;
if (exists $seen{$new_remainder}) {
substr $result,
1 + index($result, '.') + $seen{$new_remainder},
0, '(';
return "$result)"
$seen{ $remainder = $new_remainder } = $i++;
return $result =~ s/\.$/.0/r
Finally, Flavio provides us with what is perhaps the most exhaustive solution using long division, not only allowing for negative input but also delivering a reverse function to test his work, able to produce a fraction from a parsed-out repeating decimal. So to switch things up a bit, rather than share his long division we’ll have a look at this unusual turn of events.
The basic idea here is to create a fraction of the reptend over a number made up of an equivalent number of “9” digits, with allowances made for a non-repeating transient before the reptend.
Interested parties might wish to read the wikipedia article on the process. Make a note of this technique — we will see it resurface later.
matching out the REPTEND using a REGEX
Alternately, several members attempted to match out repeating sequences using a regular expression. This proved remarkably difficult to get right, due not only to the aforementioned problems with floating point precision and premature matching but also with the problem that the last digit calculated might not be the last digit of the reptend. Ultimately only James was able to overcome these obstacles.
James sidesteps the accuracy of floating point division by compacting a long division routine into a single complex line, calculating a decimal string twice the length of the denominator value. As:
the maximum period in the reptend for a value 1/k is k-1,
the size of the transient for 1/2a5b yields max(a,b) added digits, and
the period of c/k is the same as 1/k,
then we can conclude this is always enough digits to repeat the reptend at least once.
So at this point he knows he can safely match for some group of digits repeated at least once and anchored to the end of the string. This produces a reptend, but might not be the best way to write it. As we’re talking about a cycle, any arbitrary rotation of that cycle can define the continuance, as long as the offset digits are defined in the transient portion. The numbers 0.(142857), 0.1(428571), and 0.14285(714285) are equivalent — even if they aren’t written in the most compact form. It’s an infinite sequence. It doesn’t have a final digit.
There is a solution provided for his situation: he handles the case where the last digit rendered may not be the last digit of the repeating sequence by comparing the end of the non-repeating section again against rotations of the repeated sequence, shortening the transient and shifting and rotating the reptend in the process until no more digits can be removed. It seems to work.
I am sometimes torn a bit between leaving in James’ extensive commentary and slicing it out to highlight just how compact his solutions can be. On the other hand after such rarefaction having a roadmap is much appreciated and more than welcome, if not required. Cramming too much action into a single line as an end in itself can certainly lead to unnecessarily obscure results, but he seems to gain so much pleasure from it it’s infectious.

COPRIMES are PRIMES TOGETHER
Jorg Sommrey and Stuart Little
There were some rather intense mathematical solutions that worked on computing the number of digits in the reptend and isolating it out from there by various methods.
Here’s a little light reading to get you up to speed before you start:
Carmichael’s Lambda Function
Jorg solves the precision problems of floating point numbers by calculating his division using the BigRat and BigFloat data types. From there he computes a number of digits as given by Carmichael’s lambda function, which gives an upper limit of the length of the reptend. From there a regular expression is used to try and match out a shorter, repeating reptend should one be present. The length of any shorter reptend will evenly divide the result from the lambda function.
It’s all very well broken down, albeit some of the steps are performed in a very technical way that might not immediately be clear. For example, “Find the largest divisor in the denominator that is coprime to 10” just means divide out and remove all factors of 2 and 5 from the denominator. The triplet of steps he uses to accomplish this are artfully pure, with all of the functional indirection that might bring to mind. I find it a bit like reading a proof.
my %pow = map {($_ => valuation $frac->denominator, $_)} factor 10;
my $nlen = max values %pow;
my $coprime = reduce {$a->bdiv($b ** $pow{$b})} $frac->denominator, keys %pow;
We could have hard-coded a couple of loops, but where’s the fun in that? And to be sure, we do need $nlen later, to know how many zeros to add to the transient before the reptend. So there’s a solid reason to it all, complex as it is.

qw(carmichael_lambda valuation fordivisors lastfor factor);
use List::Util qw(max reduce);
# Convert a fraction into its decimal representation, highlighting a
# repetend.
# We *could* perform a long division, record the occurring remainders
# after the numerator has been exhausted and stop at the first
# repetition. But...
# Here is a different plan:
# Perform a BigRat division with a sufficient number of significant
# digits. Then truncate the result at the end of a repetend and find
# the true repetend. The required number of digits is composed of the
# integer part's length, the length of a non-repeating sequence and an
# estimate for the period, i.e. a (preferably small) multiple of it.
# The integer part is facile.
# For the length of the non-repeating sequence we have to find the
# powers of 2 and 5 in the denominator. Each factor 2, 5 or 10 adds
# one digit. Thus the length of the non-repeating sequence is the
# maximum exponent of 2 and 5 in the denominator.
# For an estimate of the period we need to find the largest divisor in
# the denominator that is coprime to 10, i.e. the denominator with all
# powers of the common factors removed.
# The period of the reciprocal of the coprime denominator cannot be
# larger than the maximum order of this reduced denominator as an
# element of the multiplicative group of integers modulo k (for any
# coprime k), which is given by Carmichael's lambda function.

Stuart uses a completely different method to produce the reptend of his result, sharing similarities with the decimal to fraction conversion we saw earlier.
After using his ordExp() function to compute the number of digits, he multiplies the quantity of the numerator modulo the portion of the denominator coprime to 10 (that is, with all the 2s and 5s divided out), by a number composed of the digit-length of 9s, divided by the coprime denominator again. Yea, that took me some time to get through as well. Perhaps a visual aide will help. For example for the fraction 1/14 we evaluate the equation:
my $fract = int ((($num % $den) * (10**$digs-1))/$den);
fract = 5 ×
→ 5 × 142857
→ 714285
Neat, huh? The end result, by the way, is 0.0(714285). Calculating the the non-repeating portion of course adds its own additional wrinkle of complication.
sub ordExp($n,$p) {
my ($ord,$base)=(1,$n % $p);
while ($base-1 % $p) {
$base = ($base*$n) % $p;
sub when10copr($num,$den) {
my $int = int($num/$den);
my $digs = ordExp(10,$den);
return $int, ('0' x ($digs - length($fract))) . $fract;
sub fractPart($num,$den) {
my $exp2 = maxExp(2,$den);
my $newNum = ($exp2 >= $exp5) ? (5**($exp2-$exp5) * $num) : (2**($exp5-$exp2) * $num);
my @copr = when10copr($newNum, int $den/(2**$exp2 * 5**$exp5));
my $nonRep = ($copr[0] || max($exp2,$exp5)) ? ('0' x (max($exp2,$exp5) - length($copr[0])) . $copr[0]) : ("");
my $rep = ($copr[1] ne "0") ? (qq|($copr[1])|) : ("");
return $nonRep . $rep;
my ($num,$den) = @ARGV;
say int($num/$den) . "." . fractPart($num % $den,$den);
INTERESTING and UNUSUAL DEVELOPMENTS in the CASE
The monk opens by noting the absence of the handy Raku method .base-repeating, which makes the task quite straightforward in that language. Furthermore, they note the apparent lack of anything equivalent in CPAN to provide this from a module.
So they decided to port the Raku source code for the function, from the file
rakudo-2021.03/src/core.c/Rational.pm6
Raku relies on a native Rational (Rat) type here, so for the port the Core module Math::BigRat is brought in to provide the functionality. This technique handles negative numbers and also provides for arbitrary number bases, which is an interesting twist. |

CHICAGO: On the night Andrew Bynum made his first start of the season, top overall pick Anthony Bennett didn’t get off the bench and Kyrie Irving received an earful from his head coach.
Other than that, it was just another road loss for a team still searching for its first win away from home.
Bynum set season highs in minutes, points and rebounds, but the Chicago Bulls pulled away over the game’s final five minutes for a 96-81 win over the Cavs.
It was the first head-to-head matchup between the Cavs’ Kyrie Irving and the Bulls’ Derrick Rose, but it ultimately failed to meet expectations. Irving had 16 points and four assists, but missed his first six shots and didn’t get his first basket until the final minute of the third quarter. He ended the night 5 of 19, further lowering his anemic shooting percentage to 38 percent for the season.
Coach Mike Brown subbed him out with 3:13 left in the first quarter, then followed him down to the end of the bench and gave him an earful for the better part of a minute.
Irving didn’t offer any further details.
“Just a conversation with my coach,” he said. “That’s about it.”
Brown was aggravated the starters didn’t do a better job of involving Bynum in the offense, which clearly was the intended goal of moving him into the lineup. He f.
“We don’t know how to play with a guy like that,” Brown said. “Iwe had in the whole game, the ball went to him, they doubled, he kicked it to Dion (Waiters) for a wide open 3 on the weak side. But we don’t understand that yet. Hopefully we will soon.”
Brown made the lineup switch without practicing it first. Instead, he held a two-hour shootaround Monday morning and reiterated that right now, a lot of the Cavs practices are held during games while guys learn each other.
Bynum said his game doesn’t really change by becoming a starter, but it changes for the players around him.
“That’s just something we’re going to have to go over in practice. I’m not too familiar with all the plays they’ve put in and vice versa,” Bynum said. “I think we have a good practice planned for (Tuesday). We’ll.”
The Cavs trailed for much of the night, but remained within 78-75 on a basket from Irving with 4:55 left when the Bulls took over. The Bulls scored 13 of the game’s next 15 points, including seven from Mike Dunleavy, and the Bulls extended the lead to double figures in little more than a minute.
“They just mentally and physically did what they wanted to do to us,” Brown said. “Wl. Chf.”
Tristan Thompson had 14 points and 13 rebounds and Dion Waiters had 13 points and six turnovers.
Rose had 16 points and seven assists on 8 of 21 shooting.
Bennett was not listed as an injured player prior to the game and the Cavs said he was available to play, but Brown said he sat him all night because his shoulder was still bothering him. Bennett sprained his shoulder in Friday’s loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, but returned to play at home in Saturday’s win.
“His shoulder was bothering him in the last game some so I decided to sit him,” Brown said. “He may play next game, he may not. I wanted to give Henry (Sims) a shot, I thought Henry played well, too. I wanted to give Henry a shot.”
The Cavs will practice in Chicago on Tuesday before flying to Minneapolis. They’ll face the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday. Shares |

Can we achieve this seismic shift toward bullying?
First-time author Jason Kendal was frustrated because he was unable to help his younger sister, Jacquelyn, who was often bullied at school. He believes the key to breaking the cycle is to introduce the conversation to a much younger audience.
Jacquelyn Kendal, the inspiration behind My Friend Clyde, says: “When I was being bullied I always wondered why this was happening to me, and why I had to be the one who was different. Not only did I feel upset, angry and lonely but I blamed myself for how I was treated. It took a long time but I have finally accepted the person I am today. I can’t make people treat me nicely but I can make sure that I am good to others. I will always have a learning disability but that is not all that I am.” Jacquelyn broadens the reach of the message by facilitating book readings at school.
The news is time sensitive, not only because the statistics on the repercussions of bullying – including suicide – are alarming, but because the book is part of a Kickstarter campaign. The Kendals need to raise $6,050 to publish the book – including 500 copies to be donated to schools, libraries and non-profits – and to complete an accompanying interactive website. A portion of all sales will be directed to anti-bullying not-for-profit causes. This particular campaign operates uMy Friend Clyde p this book will not see the light of day.

"Do you consider Aristotle to be unintelligent?"
A wise man once said "there are no authorities". The greatest minds can also be wrong/mistaken. Einstein didn't get the Theory Of Relativity right in one sitting, and in fact, it was wrong the first times, and it's still not taken to be fully correct and may be revised in a near future.
Aristotle could be wrong.
Here is a list of dictatorships that the United States has backed, for various reasons.
Non sequitur? The US also backed (backs) up extremist/terrorist groups. Does that make them ok for any reason?
"Dictatorships don't inherently come to power through bloodshed, and not everyone has effective freedom to elect their own leaders within democracies."
How exactly? Everyone has all the freedom to vote in whoever they see fit. There might be room for improvement, but whatever flaws the system has, it's not oppressing anyone regarding their freedom to voice/act on their opinion.
Also, there's no way one person can have their will imposed on everyone else without at least stepping on some people's feet a few times. So, in a way, you can't ever have a dictator without at least some figurative bloodshed.
"It's important to remember that our concept of individual rights is incredibly new within the context of human history."
Our concept of the scientific method is only 400 years old (incredibly new!). Yet it did considerably more for us in those 400 years than anything else did in the prior 9600 years of recorded history. Is there any dispute as to it being the best method of study and reasoning?
The people in other ages knew better than to live anarchically, but no better than to live in non-democratic systems. If they had thought of it, or if they had been able to make it happen, they would've.
No matter how benevolent a dictator might be, his individual opinions are imposed, thus most other individual minds will always have certain necessities being oppressed. We are not ants, we have individual agency. Ancient societies ought to be aware of that, even if they had no concept of it or if it was taboo; they might be illiterate ignorants, but not devoid of individual brains and emotions and wants and needs.
Decisions in that kind of political system are not taken by that one elected person. That's not likely to be the case in dictatorships.
In a dictatorship you might not even be able to complain about it.
That said, it's one flaw in democracy. One that should be addressed, that the people should be able to revoke their election by means of another majority voting.
Flaws don't make it worse, though. No system is perfect, and surely democracy isn't either. That does not take away from it being by all means superior to dictatorship.
Can you provide a significantly greater amount of examples of beneficial dictatorships that existed throughout history? Can you provide any, at all?
A dictatorship removes agency from individuals. Even if a dictator has a good heart that doesn't get corrupted by delusions of power, nearly ever single other individual will have certain wants and needs suppressed/repressed/oppressed.
Democracy is inherently better indeed, since it removes the enforcement of one individual's opinions over every other. It allows anyone to do as they please, and the only thing you need to enforce is that no one infringes on each others' well being.
Democracy is as fair as it can get (at least so far). Dictatorship is the antithesis.
Is it not a rare sight to see conservatives agreeing with liberals? Or teaming up?
Again, the road to fanaticism, fundamentalism, extremism, etc, is hardly one with T-junctions where conservatives might stop to decide they'd merge ideas from both parties. That's not to say it doesn't happen. That's one way we get new religious sects, for example. But usually the derivation includes a great majority of the original ideals, and not a heterogeneous mix.
I can accept those nuances, but they're not really relevant in this regard. Even if moderate conservatives were just as likely to become extreme liberals as they might be of becoming extremist conservatives, the question I'm asking is, essentially, how likely are they to become extremists at all, and what I contend is that it only depends on the type of propaganda they are exposed to, if any.
This looks like a website where people have fun, but also where people can share what they know and perhaps learn something from each other.
You told me nothing new, insightful, useful, or funny.
"So, in that case then, would you say that abortion is murder?"
I think the reason planets don't affect us is more because we're too small (little mass) to be affected. I have not corroborated that, it's just what it seems to me. Flies are as close to the earth as we are and couldn't care less about its gravity, and in reality the planets gravitational pull does reach this far and does have a certain effect.
For example, the sun itself gets pulled by Jupiter, which causes it to wobble slightly. The pull from the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy also reaches here and beyond.
Either way, gravity might not be the force that affects us. It's the only one of the four known forces in physics that could, but doesn't. It's up to astrologers to prove the existence of a fifth force. :)
