Abstract
Processes of heavy metals and arsenic sorption onto Fe oxyhydroxides derived from leachates of Pb-Zn-Ag skarn-type mineralization, were investigated through humidity cell experiments and hydrogeochemical modeling. Humidity cell tests and leaching column experiments were conducted to determine the influence of pH and the concentration of dissolved metals and arsenic in the leacheates. The leachates had pH values near neutrality (pH = 7) and a relatively low concentration of toxic metals in solution, despite the evident dissolution of sulfide minerals. The oxidation of pyrrhotite and the acid-consuming dissolution reaction of calcite catalyze the precipitation of ferryhidrite (Fe oxyhydroxide), which acts as adsorbing surfaces for metals and metalloids in solution (As, Cu, Pb and Zn). The sorption by ferryhydrite in ore deposits of this type represents one of the controlling mechanisms of the concentrations of As and heavy metals under pH conditions between 6 and 8 (near neutrality).

North Korean military presents plan for Guam strike
SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea said Tuesday that its military presented leader Kim Jong Un with plans to launch intermediate-range missiles into waters near Guam and "wring the windpipes of the Yankees" by creating "enveloping fire" near the key U.S. military hub in the Pacific. The comments, while typically belligerent, are significant because they also appeared to signal a path to defuse a deepening crisis with Washington over a weapons program that is seen as nearing the ability to accurately send a nuclear missile to the U.S. mainland. During an inspection of the army's Strategic Forces, which handles the missile program, Kim praised the military for drawing up a "close and careful plan" and said he would watch the "foolish and stupid conduct of the Yankees" a little more before deciding whether to order the missile test, the North's state-run Korean Central News Agency said. Kim appeared in photos sitting at a table with a large map marked by a straight line between what appeared to be northeastern North Korea and Guam, and passing over Japan — apparently showing the missiles' flight route. The missile plans were previously announced, and Kim said North Korea would conduct the launches if the "Yankees persist in their extremely dangerous reckless actions on the Korean Peninsula and its vicinity" and that the United States should "think reasonably and judge properly" to avoid shaming itself, the news agency said. Lobbing missiles toward Guam would be a deeply provocative act from the U.S. perspective, and a miscalculation on either side could lead to a military clash. U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said the United Sates would take out any such missile seen to be heading for American soil and declared any such North Korean attack could mean war. Kim's comments, however, with their conditional tone, seemed to hold out the possibility that friction could ease if the United States made some sort of gesture that Pyongyang considered a move to back away from previous "extremely dangerous reckless actions." This might be difficult as the United States and its ally South Korea plan next week to start annual defensive military drills that the North claims are preparation for invasion. On Monday, the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff met with senior South Korean military and political officials and the local media. Marine Corps Gen. Joseph Dunford also made comments that appeared to be an attempt to ease anxiety over tit-for-tat threats between President Donald Trump and North Korea while also showing a willingness to back up Trump's warnings if need be. Dunford said the United States wants to peacefully resolve tensions with North Korea. But Washington is also ready to use the "full range" of its military capabilities in case of provocation, Dunford said. Dunford is visiting South Korea, Japan and China after a week in which Trump declared the U.S. military "locked and loaded" and said he was ready to unleash "fire and fury" if North Korea continued to threaten the United States. The Korean People's Army's Strategic Forces said last week that it would finalize and send to Kim for approval the plan to fire four ballistic missiles near Guam, which is about 3,200 kilometers (2,000 miles) from Pyongyang. The plans are based on the Hwasong-12, a new missile the country successfully flight-tested for the first time in May. The liquid-fuel missile is designed to be fired from road mobile launchers and has been previously described by North Korea as built for attacking Alaska and Hawaii. The North followed the May launch with two flight tests of its Hwasong-14 ICBM last month. Analysts said that a wide swath of the continental United States, including Los Angeles and Chicago, could be within reach of those missiles, once they're perfected. The North's latest report said Kim ordered his military to be prepared to launch the missiles toward Guam at any time. If the "planned fire of power demonstration" is carried out because of U.S. recklessness, Kim said it will be "the most delightful historic moment when the Hwasong artillerymen will wring the windpipes of the Yankees and point daggers at their necks," the North reported. North Korea is angry about new United Nations sanctions over its expanding nuclear weapons and missile program and the upcoming military drills between Washington and Seoul. Kim said that the United States must "make a proper option first and show it through action, as it committed provocations after introducing huge nuclear strategic equipment into the vicinity of the peninsula" and that it "should stop at once arrogant provocations" against North Korea, state media said. South Korean President Moon Jae-in on Monday called for a peaceful solution to the nuclear standoff, saying that "there must not be another war on the Korean Peninsula," according to his office. In a meeting with top aides at the presidential Blue House, Moon said South Korea would work to safeguard peace on the peninsula in cooperation with the United States and other countries. Moon said North Korea must stop issuing menacing statements and provocations.

Student Sentenced in Hate-Crime Attack
A college student from Little Neck was sentenced yesterday in State Supreme Court to five years of probation for his role in an attack on two Asian-American teenagers last year, prosecutors said. Paul A. Heavey, 21, pleaded guilty in March to third-degree assault as a hate crime, said Richard A. Brown, the Queens district attorney. Mr. Heavey admitted punching and kicking the two men — John Lu and Reynold Liang, both 19 at the time and both from Little Neck — during an August 2006 altercation in Douglaston, Mr. Brown said. Mr. Heavey’s co-defendant, Kevin M. Brown, 19, of Auburndale, was sentenced in March to three and a half years in prison after he admitted beating one of the men with a metal steering wheel lock, prosecutors said.

San Jose Woman Victim Of Dating Site Fraud « CBS Sacramento
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) Prosecutors in Santa Clara County are warning people about the possibility of dating website fraud after a 66-year-old San Jose woman was bilked out of more than $500,000 by a man who befriended her through the site, ChristianMingle.com. The unidentified man allegedly purported to be a citizen of the United Kingdom working on a Scottish oil rig. Prosecutors say he wooed the victim with phone calls, text messages and flowers before asking her to invest or loan him money. His Skype account and email addresses were later traced to Nigeria. Prosecutors say the victim was able to recover about $200,000 she sent to a bank account in Turkey, where an associate of the suspect was arrested. ChristianMingle spokeswoman Arielle Schechtman says the site has reached out to Santa Clara prosecutors to offer its assistance. It requires potential new members to sign a pledge not to send money to anyone they meet online. Copyright 2014 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

‘Black Swan’ Author Worries About the U.S.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb , author of
the best-selling book “The Black Swan,” said he’s more
concerned about prospects for the U.S. than Europe because the
country lacks awareness of its fiscal woes. “The difference between Europe and the U.S. is the
consciousness of the problem,” Taleb, a New York University
professor, said today at a news conference in Tokyo organized by
Bank of America Corp. “There’s no consciousness in the U.S.”
about the fiscal deficit, he said. Global financial-market turmoil intensified this quarter as
Europe’s sovereign debt crisis deepened and the U.S. economy
showed signs of slowing. Standard & Poor’s cut the U.S.’s credit
rating for the first time in August, criticizing lawmakers for
failing to cut spending or raise revenue enough to reduce record
budget shortfalls. Jacques Attali, a former European banking official, told
reporters at the same briefing that the U.S. is in a worse state
than Europe because of factors including political paralysis
over its debt burden as well as unemployment. “I’m quite pessimistic about the future of the U.S.
economy for quite a long time,” said Attali, who advised French
President Francois Mitterrand in the 1980s and later became the
first head of the European Bank for Reconstruction and
Development. “The U.S. economy is in very, very bad
situation.” Fate of Euro The euro is likely to avoid collapse and the trouble in the
region will help to speed up action by governments, said Attali,
who is now president of Planet Finance, an organization that
seeks to fight poverty through microfinance. Europe’s 17-nation currency fell toward its lowest level
since 2001 against the yen today on speculation Greece is
nearing default and before Italy sells bonds. German Chancellor
Angela Merkel said in a radio interview that she won’t let
Greece go into “uncontrolled insolvency” because of the risk of
contagion for other euro-area countries. Michael Spence , a Nobel laureate in economics, was less
optimistic than Attali when asked about the euro’s prospects at
a conference in Beijing today. “If the group as a whole can’t agree on the burden sharing,
who’s going to pay the price of solving the problem?” he said.
“There is probably at least 30 percent chance this could go
badly wrong. Maybe more.” No U.S. Crisis Spence, a professor at New York University’s Stern School
of Business who won the Nobel Prize in economics in 2001,
stopped short of saying the U.S. is in a crisis. “We have a
debt problem, we have a political problem dealing with it, and
we certainly have a growth and unemployment problem, but it’s
not a crisis,” he said. His colleague Taleb, who said in June that the U.S. debt
situation is worse than that of Greece, commented on Japan ’s
record government borrowings. For Japan, the “main problem is
the level” of its debt, Taleb said, adding that the nation’s
high household savings help to compensate. While Japan has the world’s largest public debt burden,
more than 90 percent is held by domestic creditors. Japanese
households had 1,476 trillion yen ($19.2 trillion) of financial
assets as of March 31, according to the Bank of Japan. Taleb popularized the term black swan , which derives from
the once widespread Western belief that all swans were white until explorers discovered the black variety in Australia in
1697. He argued that unforeseen events with a large impact on
markets occur more frequently than statistical analysis predicts,
thereby justifying the high cost of hedging against disasters. “There is no moral reason why a world so wealthy should
have so much debt,” Taleb said today. To contact the reporter on this story:

A history of baseball
Even though the National League champion Cincinnati Reds had a superior regular season record 96—44.
Who really invented baseball
It said that the teams had the right to renew a players contract for one year. These leagues did not consider themselves "minor"—a term that did not come into vogue until St. Average major league attendances reached a pre World War I peak of 5, in It lags elsewhere in the world. The first recorded baseball contest took place a year later, in Organized baseball In a matter of years, Baseball became the first professional sport. Louis Cardinals and Brooklyn Dodgers , the current American League , evolving from the minor Western League of , was established in In , Australia won a surprise silver medal at the Olympic Games. In , the American Association started to compete with reduced ticket prices and teams in large cities. In , the owners forced Commissioner to resign. The late Civil War hero "never knew that he had invented baseball". In the same period, a poem by William Pagula mentioned a game named Stoolball, originally played by milkmaids, who used milking stools as wickets. They hired Marvin Miller, a veteran labor organizer who had fought for the United Steelworkers union for years.
They interpreted that to be recurring, that they could renew it every year. They hired Marvin Miller, a veteran labor organizer who had fought for the United Steelworkers union for years.
No progress was being made, so the players went on strike in August. The teams were divided into two leagues, the National and American; during the regular season, a team played only against other teams within its league.
Early history[ edit ] The earliest mention of baseball in the U.
A history of baseball
One fills libraries, while baseball historians are only just beginning to chronicle the other fully. In , Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier, joining the Brooklyn Dodgers. The game relied on contact-hitters, bunting, and base-stealing for its offense. Louis Cardinals and Brooklyn Dodgers , the current American League , evolving from the minor Western League of , was established in This was much more serious, and little negotiation took place. In the late s, functions that had been administered separately by the two major leagues' administrations were united under the rubric of Major League Baseball. Beginning in , the NABBP permitted professional play, addressing a growing practice that had not been permitted under its rules to that point. While the NA continues to this day, he saw it as a tool to end threats from smaller rivals who might some day want to expand in other territories and threaten his league's dominance. Block argues that rounders and early baseball were actually regional variants of each other, and that the game's most direct antecedents are the English games of stoolball and "tut-ball". The myth about Doubleday inventing the game of baseball actually came from a Colorado mining engineer. Players were still bound to a team for the first few years of their career, but after that they could sign with any team.
Inthe American Association started to compete with reduced ticket prices and teams in large cities. The most victorious team in each league was said to have won the "pennant;" the two pennant winners met after the end of the regular season in the World Series.
In addition, the agreement allowed each team to bind a certain number of players with the Reserve Clause. One of these clubs, the Chicago White Stockings, won the championship in The term may be used broadly to include professional black teams outside the leagues and it may be used narrowly for the seven relatively successful leagues beginning that are sometimes termed "Negro Major Leagues".
The players loved this, because expansion meant more jobs. The union could and did file complaints with the National Labor Relations Board when they were treated unfairly.

1937 Soviet census
The 1937 Soviet census held on January 6, 1937, was the most controversial of the censuses taken within the Soviet Union. The census showed lower population figures than anticipated,, although it still showed a population growth from the last census in 1926, from 147 million to 162 million people in 1937. The results of the census were almost immediately (after 10 days) announced to be "harmful" and the workers who were responsible for it were arrested and repressed.
Delays
After the First All-Union Census of the Soviet Union of 1926, the next census was planned to be held in 1933. On 15 March 1932, the formal commission on census organization, chaired by Valerian Osinsky was created by the Statistical Commission (Tsentral'noye Upravleniye Narodno-Khozyaystvennogo Uchyota, TsUNKhU) of Gosplan. On 22 April 1932, Sovnarkom adopted the decision On Conducting the all-Union Census in December 1933. On 15 April 1933, Sovnarkom moved the date for the census to the beginning of 1935. On 23 June 1934, Sovnarkom further delayed the census to January 1936. On 15 June 1935, the census date was moved to December 1936. Finally, the census was conducted on 6 January 1937.
The multiple delays were most probably explained by the reluctance to show the catastrophic demographic results of the famine of 1932–1933. The Soviet leadership had fanned great expectations of population growth.
High expectations
On 26 January 1934, Joseph Stalin reported to the 17th Congress of the All-Union Communist Party (b) as one of the main achievements "Growth of population from 160.5 millions at the end of 1930 to the 168 millions at the end of 1933". On 1 December 1935, Joseph Stalin made a speech, on the Meeting of Kolkhozniks with the Soviet and Party leaders: Everybody says that the material situation of workers has dramatically improved, that life has become better and more fun. It is of course true. But this has led the population to breed much faster than in the old days. The birth rate is higher, the death rate is lower and the pure population growth is far stronger. It is of course good and we welcome it. [Jolly murmurs in the auditorium.] Now every year we have a population growth of three million souls. It means that every year we grow as much as the whole of Finland. [Everybody laughs.] Combining his reports, one could have expected to have a population of about 180 million in 1937.
Official statistics based on the registered birth and death rates implied that the 1937 census should show a population of 170–172 million. On 21 September 1935, Sovnarkom adopted a decision On the organization of registration of natural population changes (О постановке учёта естественного движения населения) most probably authored by Stalin: The organs of registration were often used by the class enemies who had sneaked in there (priests, kulaks, Whites) and made their own counterrevolutionary saboteurs work to deliberately hide population growth by registering the same deaths multiple times.
Historian A. G. Volkov, claims that the idea that a significant number of individual deaths were double-counted is absurd, but Soviet historians claimed otherwise. On the other hand, not registering deaths, especially those who died by famine or incarceration, was common. For example, during the Holodomor, starving peasants tried (despite the official ban) to escape to the cities where they could earn or beg for food. Many of them died in the streets. In 1933, the street-cleaning service of Kiev picked up 9,472 dead bodies. Only 3,991 of them were officially counted as deaths on state records, while 5,481 were disposed of without formal registration, per instructions from the prosecutor's office.
Preparation
The official commission for the preparation of the census was formed on 16 September 1935. It included: Later the commission was joined by All the documents related to the census were prepared by TsUNKhU and edited personally by Joseph Stalin. A. G. Volkov speculates that never in modern history was such a routine technical matter as a census so micromanaged by such high officials.
* Vyacheslav Molotov, the Chairman of Sovnarkom,
* Lazar Kaganovich, Narkom for transport,
* Anastas Mikoyan, Narkom for the food industry,
* Nikolay Antipov, Vice Chairman of Sovnarkom,
* Nikolai Bulganin, Chairman of Mossovet,
* Emmanuil Kviring, Vice Chairman of Gosplan,
* Ivan Kraval, the chief of TsUNKhU,
* A. S. Popov, deputy to the chief of TsUNKhU.
* Valery Mezhlauk, the Chairman of Gosplan, who chaired the commission.
A comparison between the two variants is shown in the table below:
While his Soviet contemporaries praised Stalin's clarity and brevity in the design of these forms, modern scholars have observed a significant dumbing-down of the original proposals. A lot of information, e.g., about the social structures and income, and migration, could not be deduced from the new forms. Some questions (like the social category) were extremely vague and allowed different interpretations. Volkov argues that it was done deliberately. Stalin removed the double accounting (of those present at the time of the census and of those permanently living at an address), thus significantly reducing the accuracy of the calculations. It was coupled with a very maladroit time for the census: the night from 5 to 6 January – that is, the eve of Russian Orthodox Christmas, when people are extremely mobile.
The main new question introduced by Stalin was the question about religion. According to Volkov, Stalin expected the great majority of people to self-identify as atheists.
Census
The census was held on 6 January 1937. In addition to the general census in the cities, towns and villages, a special census was held by the NKVD in the Gulag camps and among the border guards; by the Red Army, which took a census of military personnel; and the railroad, which took a census of passengers. When the data was first processed, it soon became obvious that the final enumeration would be little more than 162 million people. The worst disagreement between the expected and the obtained data were in Kazakhstan, Ukraine, North Caucasus and the Volga region, the areas that were the strongest hit by the Holodomor famine.
On 11 January, the chief of TsUNKhU Kraval sent telegrams requesting a total recount of a whole settlement if any doubt arose that somebody might be missing there. Still, despite the total recount in 25,000 settlements, only 4,887 previously unenumerated persons were found. The preliminary result of the census, reported to Stalin in the middle of March 1937, was 162,039,470 people, much lower than the "criminally decreased" registered numbers of 170–172 million or Stalin's expectation of 180 million people.
Another serious blow was a very high percentage of people who stated that they were religious. 55.3 million, or 56.7%, of those who provided answers stated that they were religious (the question was asked only of people older than 16-years old), 42.2 million stated that they were atheists, and around 1 million refused to give an answer. Historian Valentina Zhiromskaya stated that people expected to be persecuted if they declared themselves as belonging to a religion, but considered the answer to be important: If many people would say that they are religious, the authorities would have to open the churches, was a common attitude. The Soviet authorities were so upset by the results of the census that they did not include a question on religion in any future censuses.
Aftermath
In March 1937, the four main statistical professionals working on the Census in TsUNKhU – the chief of the Sector for Population, Mikhail Kurman; chief of the Census Bureau, Olimpiy Kvitkin; his deputy, Lazar Brand; and the chief of the Sector for transportation and communication, Ivan Oblomov, were arrested and imprisoned. Soon they were joined by the Chief of TsUNKhU, Ivan Kraval, and the chiefs of most of the regional statistical centers, and executions followed. Many statisticians, newly appointed in place of those arrested, were soon arrested themselves. There is evidence that many managers appointed to lead the statistical organization tried to avoid starting their new jobs in desperate attempts to escape persecution.
On 25 September 1937, there was a special Sovnarkom decision proclaiming the census invalid and setting a new one for January 1939. A Pravda editorial stated that the "enemies of the people gave the census counters invalid instructions that led to the gross under-counting of the population, but the brave NKVD under the leadership of Nikolai Yezhov destroyed the snake's nest in the statistical bodies".
Stalin had to agree with the lower numbers of population growth. In his report to the 18th Congress of the All-Union Communist Party (bolsheviks) he said: Some workers of the old Gosplan thought that during the second five-year plan (1933–1938) the annual growth of the population was three to four million people. It was a fantasy or worse.
The new Soviet Census (1939) showed a population figure of 170.6 million people, manipulated so as to match exactly the numbers stated by Stalin in his report to the 18th Congress of the All-Union Communist Party. No other censuses were conducted until 1959.
Today there is a consensus that the results of the 1939 census were adjusted (0.5 to 1.5 million persons were added to the reported population) Some historians consider the 1937 census the only more or less reliable source of demographic data for the period 1926–1959. However, demographers do not consider it as such. The data became influential for evaluating the number of victims of the Great Purge, World War I, and the 1930s famines, including the Holodomor.

E are often told that this is a scientific age, and the statement is undoubtedly true. The world now more than ever before looks to science as a secular if not a spiritual guide. However much their speculations may be questioned and controverted, the scientific book and the scientific man are popularly accepted as authority, at least on matters of physical and historical fact. The veracity of science therefore is, or ought to be, above suspicion. How careful, then, ought the teacher and exponent of science to be that his assertions are true; that his alleged facts are facts; and that even his speculations are free from the appearance of dogmatism! He needs to be especially particular when writing for the general public, for people untrained in science will accept his statements as expert testimony. Errors will thus be sure to mislead his readers, many of whom are without the knowledge that would enable them to discriminate between the true and the false in his assertions.
In The Popular Science Monthly for June, 1881, appeared an article on Glucose and Grape-Sugar, by Prof. H. W. Wiley. In that article the following unfortunate statement was made: "In commercial honey, which is entirely free from bee mediation, the comb is made of paraffin, and filled with pure glucose by appropriate machinery." To say that there was not one word of truth in that extraordinary assertion is the short and proper way to put it, and that is exactly what I undertake to say. There was not a tittle of evidence that any such honey had ever been made up to that time, nor is there a particle of evidence that any such honey has since been made.
Nevertheless, this vile slander on an honest and honorable industry has done incalculable injury to bee-culture in America, if not throughout the world. A lie is said to travel half round the world while the truth is getting ready to start, and this one proved no exception. Though contradicted and refuted over and over again, it still lives and is still going. Newspapers still keep iterating and reiterating Prof. Wiley's slander, but they seldom publish a correction. Thousands of people, common and uncommon, still believe that scientific yarn that comb-honey is manufactured throughout without "bee mediation," and why shouldn't they? The former believe it because the newspapers say so, and the latter because the magazines and encyclopædias say so; for it is a fact that this itinerant fiction has actually found a place in

I shall try to describe briefly the important part played by the Czech soldiers in the awful days of the great Russian debacle in Galicia, when our men maintained the semblance of a front, saving the adjoining Russian provinces and spoiling Mackensen’s clever plans.
It is evident now that the first wabbling of the Russian front on July 5th was connected directly with the bloody bolsheviki demonstrations in Petrograd. An appeal was issued by these fanatics to the men at the front to go on strike and leave the trenches. The appeal resulted in something like sabotage applied to war conditions. The first stage of it was that thousands of the bolsheviki soldiers maimed themselves by shooting off a finger and then going home. This strike procedure was rather pain ful to the strikers, and so on July 5th a strike of violence was inaugurated on a large part of the Galician front. Regiments that had orders to attack were held back by other regiments kept in reserve; fanatic agitation was kept up among newly arrived battalions and finally the real purpose of it all was revealed, when positions were voluntarily abandoned. It is not yet definitely known which regiment started the disgraceful rout of July. At any rate we saw revolutionary victories of June 18th and 19th thrown away. Where our heroic fellows fought to smash the militarism of Germany and Austria, there the Prussian now sings “Wacht am Rhein” and the Austrian his “Oesterreich, du edles Haus”. It is painful to think that the little cemetery of Cecova, the resting place of the boys who fell in the day of victory at Zborov and the Krasna Lipa has no doubt been carefully gone over by a sergeant and a file and that the names of our dead heroes have been copied from the crosses for use against their families in Bohemia.
We don’t grow sentimental, when we think of it. We are full of anger, terrible anger at the great loss due to traitors who work for German gold. German money is the explanation of the events of July 5th, when Austrians and Germans swept over our lines and captured the sacred ground of Cecova.
Today, when I have thought much of what happened, I do not know what to call that event which the Russians call retreat. Was it retreat or was it flight? Neither the one nor the other. It was the act of a man who abandons a place of responsibility and goes home, leaving carelessly a burning candle in a pile of straw. The phenomenon is sometimes called moral insanity.
Perhaps some day a student of psychology will be able to explain the mental processes of guards-men who left the trenches, threw away their rifles into rye fields, plundered the depots at the base of clothing, sugar and chocolate, emptied loaded trucks of munitions so that they might load them with tinned food. Think of soldiers who abandoned their stations and nonchalantly walked back in streams regardless of the fact that comrades who did not go would be soon overwhelmed by waves of Germans and Austrians, that in a few hours there would be but little islands of hopelessly outnumbered fighters, where there had been the strong Russian front. Such islands were the regiments of the first Czechoslovak brigade. They stood firm in a mighty dam and alone held back the German flood. From July 5th to July 15th Czechoslovak regiments threw back unaided the German attacks. From Ostasovce to Velke Borky, from Slachtince to Grabovka and Teklovka Bohemian bayonets held up the realization of the hastily conceived German plan to make full use of the situation and push the military lines forward into the Russian territory and at the same time get in the rear of the army holding the line between Stanislavov and the Carpathians. The whole Tarnopol front was to be stricken by panic.
“How lucky that the Bohemians were there,” said a certain newspaper. It is dangerous to rely on luck in battle, but it was more dangerous to rely on the Russian army on that awful July 5th, when a number of companies of our first regiment were sent forward for a stretch of duty in the fire trenches with a detachment of machine guns. We reached the position just as the sun was rising; there was not a muzhik in the first line, as far as our eyes could reach. I don’t know yet what became of them; probably they are included in the 42,000 prisoners that German papers brag about.
The trenches were empty, and in half an hour German artillery commenced shelling positions far back of us. We could do nothing. So a few companies of the first regiment fell back to the village Bohdanuvka with the machine guns, and when we got there we came under the fire of German machine guns. From the front trenches to Bohdanuvka is five versts. In all that space we did not see a soldier, except a few muzhiks who were asleep in the rye waiting until the Germans picked them up. And there should have been two divisions there. It was a sample of what took place on that day. On this sector the defenders went over to the enemy, soldiers of other sectors marched back in groups all night without their guns, refusing to be stopped and giving the stereotyped answer that they were going home to rest. When such news reached Russia, it was not strange that stories were told that the Czechoslovaks were surrounded and that we were cut to pieces. When the Germans had reached Zborozh, we were still near Jezerna; when the Germans were bombarding Tarnopol, our boys were

Umask and permissions
Hello everyone,
this thread is about umask and how ucs_client.sh makes use of it.
If you don’t know what umask is:
What is umask and how does it affect UCS?
In general ucs_client.sh can be executed by different users which might have different umasks. When a user with umask 0077 creates a transaction the file has permissions ‘600’. This is because basic permission of files is ‘666’ (and for directories it is ‘777’). When a file is being created the umask is being applied on the basic file permissions which leads to permission ‘600’.
Why is this so important?
When the umask of the receiving user is different e.g. umask 0022 instead of umask 0077 the script must have a logic inside to handle this. To ensure that files created by a user with a different umask still match the umask of the receiving user the script extracts file via tar and the --no-same-permissions option which results in applying the receiving users’ umask on the files. But this doesn’t ensure that files completely match the users file mode creation mask as the option only acts as a kind of filter ensuring that files permissions are not higher than defined in umask. But of course file permissions can be lower. A file having permissions ‘600’ packed by user with umask 0077 would still have permissions ‘600’ when unpacked by a user with umask 0022 with the described tar-option. So files and directories need to be touched afterwards and permissions need to be modified. Therefore the script calculates the file and directory permissions based on the umask. This can easily be done by subtracting the umask from the basic permissions:
For Directories (e.g. with umask 0022 and 0077):
777 - 0022 = 755
777 - 0077 = 700
For Files the approach is different. Because the default file permissions are 666 we cannot simply substract the umask as it might lead to a value that is not octal notation (666 - 0077 = 589). To get the correct file-permissions the script simply creates a file and extracts the file permissions.
The background is that a file created by user having umask 0022 has file permissions ‘644’ while the same file must have file permissions ‘600’ for a user having the umask 0077 to appear as a file having permissions equal to a file that the user has just created. For directories this means that a directory created by a user having umask 0022 has file permissions ‘755’ while the same directory must have file permissions ‘700’ for a user having the umask 0077.
How does ucs_client.sh handle that?
As already mentioned the values for variables $permissions_directories and $permissions_files are being calculated based on the users’ umask during the execution of install.sh and written to config.conf which is then sourced at start of ucs_client.sh . But of course you can use different values. To achieve this you need to modify the lines in config.conf file after you ran install.sh .

Opinion | Fixing Immigration, Dispelling Fear
letters Human Rights First says our borders are manageable, and a reader takes issue with the president’s remark that the country is “full.” To the Editor: Re “Migrants Pour Into a System That’s ‘on Fire’” (front page, April 11): The challenges at our border are manageable and are caused neither by court rulings nor by “loopholes,” as your article suggests. The Trump administration chose cruel and illegal responses to a regional refugee and displacement crisis, stoking chaos rather than pursuing effective solutions. Instead, it could have led a regional initiative to resolve the crisis and expand refugee hosting capacity across the region, something a future administration must do. To sharply reduce numbers fleeing to its border, the United States must counter the problems involved in pushing people to leave and work with other countries so more refugees can be received and protected in the region. To manage our border, the Department of Homeland Security should restore orderly asylum processing at points of entry rather than encouraging crossings between points. And it must start a case management program to facilitate hearing appearances rather than pushing more detention for families with children. To ensure fair, timely and effective decision-making, the immigration courts should be made independent, protected from political influence and fully staffed. Eleanor AcerNew YorkThe writer is senior director for refugee protection at Human Rights First. To the Editor: Re “A ‘Full’ Nation in Dire Need of New Faces” (news analysis, front page, April 10): I had the privilege of driving across the United States several times when my younger daughter was attending college in Colorado. What struck me, along with the beauty of this vast and diverse country, was the amount of empty space. I often remarked that we have so much room, and so much latent capacity, to absorb refugees and immigrants at a level that far outpaces our current rate. It saddens me that the Trump administration is so miserly in its thinking and actions. We have more than enough. We can welcome so many more people and families who are yearning to make a new life for themselves and contribute to our society. Given that we’ve all come from someplace else (except for Native Americans), we have a moral obligation to share the bounty we have all been offered. America is blessed with ample space and resources. It would be a great shame if we turned our backs on would-be fellow citizens, and we would all be poorer as a result.

Rh appointed were 3000 in number, who, when sworn in, enjoyed all the powers of the old constables under the common law, for preserving the peace, preventing robberies and other felonies, and apprehending offenders. The subdivision of the district into divisions, on much the same lines as now existing, was at once made for administrative convenience, and a proportion of officers was allotted to each in the various grades then first constituted and still preserved, comprising in ascending order, constables, sergeants, inspectors and superintendents. Some time later the grade of district superintendent was created, held by gentlemen of superior status and intelligence, to each of whom the control of a large section of the whole force, embracing a wide area, was entrusted. This grade has since been merged in that of chief constable, of whom there are four exercising powers of disciplinary supervision in the metropolitan districts, and a fifth who is assistant in the branch of criminal investigation. The supreme authority is vested in the home secretary, but the immediate command and control is exercised by the chief commissioner, with three assistants, replacing the two commissioners provided for in 1829.
After various parliamentary reports and some legislation by way of extension, an important act was passed in 1839 reciting that the system of police established had been found very inefficient and might be yet further improved (Metropolitan Police Act 1839). The metropolitan police district was extended to 15 m. from Charing Cross. The whole of the river Thames (which, in its course through London, so far as related to police matters, had been mana ed under distinct acts) was brought within it, and the collateral but not exclusive powers of the metropolitan police were extended to the royal palaces and 10 m. round, and to the counties adjacent to the district. Various snmmary powers for dealing with street and other offences were conferred When the police was pnt on a more complete footing and the area enlarged, provision was made for the more effectual administration of justice by the magistrates of the metropolis (Metropolitan Police Courts Act 1839). The changes that occurred in magisterial functions are scarcely less remarkable than the transition froin the parish constable to the organized police. The misdirected activity of the civil magistrate in the 17th century is illustrated by the familiar literature of Butler, Bunyan and others. The zeal of that age was succeeded by apathetic reaction, and it became necessary in the metropolis to secure the services of paid Justices. At the beginning of the 19th century, outside of the city of London (where magisterial duties were, as now, performed by the lord mayor and aldermen), there were various public offices besides the Bow Street and Thames police offices where magistrates attended. To the Bow Street office was subse uently attached the “ horse patrol ”; each of the police offices had a fixed number of constables attached to it, and the Thames police had an establishment of constables and surveyors. The horse patrol was in 1836, as previously intended, placed under the new police. It became desirable that the horse patrol and constables allotted to the several police offices not interfered with by the Act of 1828 should be incorporated with the metropolitan police force. This was effected, and thus magisterial functions were completely separated from the duties of the executive police; for although the Jurisdiction of the two justices, afterwards called commissioners, as magistrates extended to ordinary duties (except at courts of general or quarter sessions), from the first they took no part in the examination or committal for trial of persons charged with offences. No prisoners were brought before them. Their functions were in practice confined to the discipline of the force and the prevention and detection of offences, their action limited to having persons arrested or summoned to be dealt with by the ordinary magistrates, whose courts were not interfered with.
The aim and object of the police force remain the same as when first created, but its functions have been varied and extended in scope and intention. To secure obedience to the law is a first and principal duty; to deal with breaches of the rules made by authority, to detect, pursue and arrest offenders. Next comes the preservation of order, the protection of all reputable people, and the maintenance of public peace by checking riot and disturbance or noisy demonstration, by enforcing the observance of the thousand and one regulations laid down for the general good. The police have become the ministers of a social despotism resolute in its watchful care and control of the whole community, well-meaning and paternal, although when carried to extreme length the tendency is to diminish self-reliance and independence in the individual, The police are necessarily in closing relation with the state; they are the direct representatives of the supreme government, the servants of the Crown and legislature, In England every constable when he joins the force makes a declaration and swears that he will serve the sovereign loyally and diligently, and so acquires the rights and privileges of a peace officer of and for the Crown. The state employs police solely in the interests of the public welfare. No sort of espionage is attempted, no effort made to penetrate privacy, no claim to pry into the secret actions of law-abiding persons is or would be tolerated; the agents of authority must -not seek information by underhand or unworthy means. In other countries the police system has been worked more arbitrarily, it has been used to check free speech, to interfere with the right of public meetings, and condemn the expression of opinion hostile to or critical of the ruling powers. An all-powerful police, minntely organized, has in some foreign states grown into a terrible engine of oppression and made daily life nearly intolerable. In England the people are free to assemble as they please, to march in procession through the streets, to gather in open spaces, to listen to the harangues, often forcibly expressed, of mob orators, provided always that no obstruction is caused or that no disorder or breach of the peace is threatened.
The strength of the metropolitan police in 1908 was 18,167, comprising 32 superintendents, 572 inspectors, 2378 sergeants and 15,185 constables. At the head is a commissioner, appointed by the home oihce; he is assisted by four assistant commissioners, one of whom was appointed under the Police Act 1909, in accordance with the recommendation of the Royal Commission on the Metropolitan Police 1906, his duty especially being to deal with complaints made by the public against the police. The metropolitan police are divided into 21 dwisions, to which letters of the alphabet are assigned for purposes of distinction. There is in a dition the Thames division, recruited mostly from sailors, charged with the patrol of the river and the guardianship of the shipping. To the metro litan police also are assigned the control and guardianship ofpghe various naval dockyards and arsenals. The city of London has its own distinct police organization under a commissioner and assistant commissioner, and its functions extend over an area of 67? statute acres containing two courts of {ustice, those of the Gui dhall and Mansion House, where the ord mayor and the aldermen are the magistrates. Although the area is comparatively small the rateable value is enormous. The force comprises 2 superintendents, 48 inspectors, 86 sergeants aind 865 constables; also some 60 constables on private service uty
The total olice force of England and Wales in 1908 was 30,376, almost equail divided between counties and boroughs; that of Scotland numbered 5575. In Ireland the Royal Irish Constabulary are a semi-military force, numbering over 10,500; they police the whole of Ireland, except the city of Dublin, which is under the Dublin metropolitan police, a particularly fine body. The most active and by no means the least efficient branch of the modern English police is that especially devoted to criminal investigation or the detection of crime. The detective is the direct descendant of the old “ Bow Street runners” or “Robin Redbreasts "-so styled from their scarlet waistcoats-officers in attendance upon the old-fashioned police offices and dispatched by the sitting magistrates to follow up any very serious crime in the interests of the public or at the urgent request of private persons. The “ runners' had disappeared when the police organization introduced by Sir Robert Peel came into force in 1829, and at first no part of the new force was especially attributed to the detection of crime. They were much missed, but fifteen years elapsed before Sir James Graham (then home secretary) decided to allot a few constables in plain clothes for that purpose as a tentative measure. The first “detectives” appointed numbered only a dozen, three inspectors and nine sergeants, to whom, however, six constables were shortly added as “ auxiliaries, ” but the number was gradually enlarged as the manifest uses of the system became more and more obvious.
OTHER CoUNTR1i:s.-British India is divided into police districts, the general arrangements of the system of the regular police, which dates from the disappearance of the East India Comgany, resembling in most respects those of the English police, but iffering in details in the different presidencies. All are in uniform, trained to the use of firearms and drilled. and may be called upon to perform military duties. The superior officers are nearly all Europeans and many of them are military officers. The rest are natives, in Bombay chiefly Mahommedans. The organization of the police was not dealt with by the criminal code which came into force in 1883, but the code is full of provisions tending to make the force efficient. By that code as well as by the former code the police have a legal sanction for doing what by practice they do in England; they take evidence for their own information and guidance in the investigation of cases and are clothed with the power to compel the attendance of witnesses and question them. The smallness of the number of European magistrates, and other circumstances, make the police more important and relatively far more powerful in India than in England (Stephen).

Hey guys, I have been told that the getline function in C++ is a standard library member but is this true as the #include <stdlib> header file does not have to be included in order for getline to work?
Thanks.

saying something is part of the standard c++ library doesn't mean it is declared in <stdlib> -- and there is no such header file. you probably mean <cstdlib>, which was derived form C language.
getline() is a method of std::string class and (I think) iostream.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int main()
{
std::cout << "Enter someting" << std::endl;
std::string line;
std::getline(std::cin,line);
}
or
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
char line[120];
std::cout << "Enter someting" << std::endl;
std::cin.getline(line,sizeof(line));
}

yes getline is apart of the standard library.
you still need to let the compiler know what libs you will be linking with.
I thought getline was in string.h.

Yes there is -- but its C, not C++. and just look at the copyright dates that you posted, that file is at 8-21 years old! The most recent c++ standard was in (I think) 1998.
C++ system headers do not use .h file extensions. The c++ equivalent is <cstdlib>. If your c++ compiler does not support <cstdlib> then you need to toss that piece of trash into the bit bucket and get a more modern compiler, such as Dev-C++ or any of a number of others.
Your compiler may well compile stdlib.h with no problems -- but you run the danger that it will not contain up-to-date functions that are in <cstdlib>. I know VC++ 6.0/7.0/8.0 cstdlib just simply includes stdlib.h, but that by no means other compiler follow that.

>getline() is a method of std::string class and (I think) iostream.
It depends on which getline you're talking about, but taken as a whole, your statement is incorrect across the board. You're mixing up the getline member function provided by std::istream (which uses C-style strings) and the getline function provided for use with std::string in <string>. To summarize, using cin as an object of std::istream:
// getline member function
#include <iostream>
char s[SOME_SIZE];
std::cin.getline ( s, sizeof s );
// getline non-member function
#include <string>
std::string s;
getline ( std::cin, s );

>>your statement is incorrect across the board. You're mixing up the getline member function provided by std::istream (which uses C-style strings) and the getline function provided for use with std::string in <string>.
I didn't mix them up, nor was it incorrect -- I just mentioned them both in the same breath. I didn't say they were interchangeable, and I actually posted sample code that shows the difference, just like you did.

Smart wireless power transfer system
In this project, a novel Wireless Power Transmission Integrated Circuit (“WPTIC”) system capable of simultaneous power transmission to multiple devices at varying power needs and distances, through objects of various materials and densities are going to be developed. This system can be obtained by an innovative circuits and antennas structure to model and control the near-field electric and magnetic fields, and also far-field electromagnetic propagation. There are two areas in power transmission, far-field and near-field. Far field is referring to radiating power and is capable of providing power at the longer distances; however, in near-field domain, both electric and magnetic fields would be transmitted to the receiver to provide higher power at the vicinity of the transmitter and also make the most of both mechanisms.

Tuesday Tip: Use iOS 9’s Slide Over Multitasking Feature
13275
iOS 9 brought with it some useful new multitasking features for iPad users. But while the 2-up split-screen view the bulk of the attention, it doesn’t work on all iOS 9-compatible iPad models. Slide Over view, on the other hand, does.
With Slide Over, you can bring up a second app in a side panel by swiping out from the right-hand edge of your screen: This second app will slide over the other app you’re working in, hence the name Slide Over. It’s super useful for taking a quick glance at a second app—I use it to quickly get at conversations in Messages. Here’s how to set it up.
To start, swipe out from the right-hend edge of your screen with one finger. A small pane will slide out with a scrolling list of app icons. Scroll through the list until you find the app you want to use in Slide Over view, then tap its icon. The app will open in the Slide Over panel, and you can summon it from within another app with a simple swipe from the right-hand edge.
Pick an app to view in the Slide Over panel.
Pick an app to view in the Slide Over panel.
To hide the app, tap outside the Slide Over panel or swipe from the left edge of the panel toward the right-hand edge of the screen.
iOS 9 will remember which app you have open in the Slide Over panel, and it will only change it when you tell it to. If you want to use a different app in Slide Over view, swipe open the Slide Over panel, then pull down from the top of the panel. Scroll through the list of apps that appears, and choose a different app.
Browsing through the News app in Slide Over view.
Browsing through the News app in Slide Over view.
Not every app supports Slide Over, so to simplify things, the app list shows only Slide Over-compatible apps. Many apps are fully functional when in Slide Over view, but on some cases, you’ll have to take an app full screen to use some features. For instance. while you can read books with the iBooks app in Slide Over view, you’ll need to take iBooks full-screen to access the store.

Num pang
In Cambodian cuisine, num pang (នំបុ័ង ; from pain – "bread") is a short baguette with thin, crisp crust and soft, airy texture. It is often split lengthwise and filled with savory ingredients like a submarine sandwich and served as a meal, called num pang sach (នំបុ័ងសាច់ ; "bread with meats"). It is similar to Laos's khao jee pâté and Vietnam's bánh mì.
History
Baguettes were adopted into Cambodian cuisine from the French when Cambodia was a protectorate in French Indochina.
More recently, num pang has spread outside of Cambodia with eateries specializing in num pang opened in cities, such as New York, Washington, Boston, and Melbourne.
Variations
There are a number regional variations of num pang with different fillings:
* Num pang pâté (នំបុ័ងប៉ាតេ) with pâté, a variety of cold cuts, mayonnaise, pickled carrots and daikon, cucumbers and fresh herbs (such as coriander).
* Num pang brahet (នំបុ័ងប្រហិត) with pork meatballs, mayonnaisee, pickled carrots and daikon, salad, and fresh herbs (such as coriander, mint and basil). A very popular street food snack in Siem Reap.
* Num pang sach chruk (នំបុ័ងសាច់ជ្រូក) with braised pork belly, mayonnaise, pickled carrots and papaya, and fresh herbs (such as coriander).
* Num pang sach ko (នំបុ័ងសាច់គោ) with grilled lemongrass beef skewers, mayonnaise, pickled carrots and papaya, cucumber and fresh herbs.
* Num pang trey khaw (នំបុ័ងខត្រី) with fish simmered in tomato sauce, mayonnaise, pickled carrots and papaya, cucumber, and fresh herbs (such as coriander).

Kahlil Dukes
Kahlil Dukes (born May 17, 1995) is an American basketball player for Best Balıkesir of the Turkish Basketball First League. He played college basketball for the University of Southern California (USC) and Niagara University and was named the 2018 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Co-Player of the Year.
College career
A 6ft 0in point guard and Hartford, Connecticut native, Dukes attended Capital Prep Magnet School and scored 2,238 points for his high school career. He was recruited to USC by coach Kevin O'Neill, but O'Neill was fired prior to Dukes arriving to campus. Dukes played sparingly for new coach Andy Enfield and ultimately decided to transfer to Niagara due to family and AAU connections with Chris Casey's coaching staff. Per NCAA transfer rules, Dukes sat out the 2015–16 season.
As a redshirt junior, Dukes immediately entered the starting lineup for the Purple Eagles. He averaged 15.5 points and 4.1 assists per game on the season. As a senior, Dukes raised his scoring average to 21 points per game and led the Purple Eagles to a 12–6 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) record. At the close of the 2017–18 season, was named the MAAC co-Player of the Year with Canisuius' Jermaine Crumpton. The duo were also named honorable mention All-Americans by the Associated Press.
Professional career
Following the close of his college career, Dukes signed with BC Irkut of the Russian Basketball Super League 1.
In July 2019, Dukes signed for Hamburg Towers.
After his time in Germany, the guard left Hamburg Towers to sign with Legia Warszawa Koszywówka, signing the contract on December 16, 2019, getting assigned the #10 jersey. He averaged 17.1 points per game in 10 games. On July 31, 2020, Dukes signed with Samsunspor of the Turkish Basketball First League. He averaged 18.7 points, 4.2 assists, and 2.8 rebounds per game. On August 29, 2021, Dukes signed with BC Balkan Botevgrad of the Bulgarian National Basketball League. He averaged 11.2 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game. On February 15, 2022, Dukes signed with Best Balıkesir of the Turkish Basketball First League.

抒情的解释可以帮助人们快速理解歌曲及其歌词，还可以使管理，检索和发现音乐档案不断增长，从而更加容易地检索和发现歌曲。在本文中，我们提出了Bart-Fusion，这是一种新型模型，用于从歌词和音乐音频中生成歌词解释，该模型将大规模的预训练的语言模型与音频编码器结合在一起。我们采用跨模式注意模块将音频表示形式纳入歌词表示形式，以帮助预先训练的语言模型从音频的角度了解歌曲，同时保留语言模型的原始生成性能。我们还发布了歌曲解释数据集，这是一个新的大型数据集，用于培训和评估我们的模型。实验结果表明，其他音频信息有助于我们的模型更好地理解单词和音乐，并产生精确和流利的解释。跨模式音乐检索的另一个实验表明，巴特融合产生的解释也可以帮助人们比原始的巴特更准确地检索音乐。

解开的顺序自动编码器（DSAE）代表一类概率图形模型，该模型描述了具有动态潜在变量和静态潜在变量的观察到的序列。前者以与观测值相同的帧速率编码信息，而后者在全球范围内控制整个序列。这引入了归纳偏见，并促进了基础本地和全球因素的无监督分解。在本文中，我们表明，香草dsae对动态潜在变量的模型结构和容量的选择敏感，并且容易折叠静态潜在变量。作为对策，我们提出了TS-DSAE，这是一个两阶段的培训框架，首先学习序列级别的先验分布，随后将其用于正规化该模型并促进辅助目标以促进分解。在广泛的模型配置中，对全局因子崩溃问题进行了完全无监督和强大的框架。它还避免了典型的解决方案，例如通常涉及费力参数调整和特定于域的数据增强的对抗训练。我们进行定量和定性评估，以证明其在人工音乐和现实音乐音频数据集上的分离方面的鲁棒性。

New architecture GPUs like A100 are now equipped with multi-instance GPU (MIG) technology, which allows the GPU to be partitioned into multiple small, isolated instances. This technology provides more flexibility for users to support both deep learning training and inference workloads, but efficiently utilizing it can still be challenging. The vision of this paper is to provide a more comprehensive and practical benchmark study for MIG in order to eliminate the need for tedious manual benchmarking and tuning efforts. To achieve this vision, the paper presents MIGPerf, an open-source tool that streamlines the benchmark study for MIG. Using MIGPerf, the authors conduct a series of experiments, including deep learning training and inference characterization on MIG, GPU sharing characterization, and framework compatibility with MIG. The results of these experiments provide new insights and guidance for users to effectively employ MIG, and lay the foundation for further research on the orchestration of hybrid training and inference workloads on MIGs. The code and results are released on https://github.com/MLSysOps/MIGProfiler. This work is still in progress and more results will be published soon.

Tobacco origin identification is significantly important in tobacco industry. Modeling analysis for sensor data with near infrared spectroscopy has become a popular method for rapid detection of internal features. However, for sensor data analysis using traditional artificial neural network or deep network models, the training process is extremely time-consuming. In this paper, a novel broad learning system with Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy subsystem is proposed for rapid identification of tobacco origin. Incremental learning is employed in the proposed method, which obtains the weight matrix of the network after a very small amount of computation, resulting in much shorter training time for the model, with only about 3 seconds for the extra step training. The experimental results show that the TS fuzzy subsystem can extract features from the near infrared data and effectively improve the recognition performance. The proposed method can achieve the highest prediction accuracy (95.59 %) in comparison to the traditional classification algorithms, artificial neural network, and deep convolutional neural network, and has a great advantage in the training time with only about 128 seconds.

Accurate modeling of ship performance is crucial for the shipping industry to optimize fuel consumption and subsequently reduce emissions. However, predicting the speed-power relation in real-world conditions remains a challenge. In this study, we used in-service monitoring data from multiple vessels with different hull shapes to compare the accuracy of data-driven machine learning (ML) algorithms to traditional methods for assessing ship performance. Our analysis consists of two main parts: (1) a comparison of sea trial curves with calm-water curves fitted on operational data, and (2) a benchmark of multiple added wave resistance theories with an ML-based approach. Our results showed that a simple neural network outperformed established semi-empirical formulas following first principles. The neural network only required operational data as input, while the traditional methods required extensive ship particulars that are often unavailable. These findings suggest that data-driven algorithms may be more effective for predicting ship performance in practical applications.

As a common appearance defect of concrete bridges, cracks are important indices for bridge structure health assessment. Although there has been much research on crack identification, research on the evolution mechanism of bridge cracks is still far from practical applications. In this paper, the state-of-the-art research on intelligent theories and methodologies for intelligent feature extraction, data fusion and crack detection based on data-driven approaches is comprehensively reviewed. The research is discussed from three aspects: the feature extraction level of the multimodal parameters of bridge cracks, the description level and the diagnosis level of the bridge crack damage states. We focus on previous research concerning the quantitative characterization problems of multimodal parameters of bridge cracks and their implementation in crack identification, while highlighting some of their major drawbacks. In addition, the current challenges and potential future research directions are discussed.

Two approaches to AI, neural networks and symbolic systems, have been proven very successful for an array of AI problems. However, neither has been able to achieve the general reasoning ability required for human-like intelligence. It has been argued that this is due to inherent weaknesses in each approach. Luckily, these weaknesses appear to be complementary, with symbolic systems being adept at the kinds of things neural networks have trouble with and vice-versa. The field of neural-symbolic AI attempts to exploit this asymmetry by combining neural networks and symbolic AI into integrated systems. Often this has been done by encoding symbolic knowledge into neural networks. Unfortunately, although many different methods for this have been proposed, there is no common definition of an encoding to compare them. We seek to rectify this problem by introducing a semantic framework for neural-symbolic AI, which is then shown to be general enough to account for a large family of neural-symbolic systems. We provide a number of examples and proofs of the application of the framework to the neural encoding of various forms of knowledge representation and neural network. These, at first sight disparate approaches, are all shown to fall within the framework's formal definition of what we call semantic encoding for neural-symbolic AI.

Diffusion models have shown a great ability at bridging the performance gap between predictive and generative approaches for speech enhancement. We have shown that they may even outperform their predictive counterparts for non-additive corruption types or when they are evaluated on mismatched conditions. However, diffusion models suffer from a high computational burden, mainly as they require to run a neural network for each reverse diffusion step, whereas predictive approaches only require one pass. As diffusion models are generative approaches they may also produce vocalizing and breathing artifacts in adverse conditions. In comparison, in such difficult scenarios, predictive models typically do not produce such artifacts but tend to distort the target speech instead, thereby degrading the speech quality. In this work, we present a stochastic regeneration approach where an estimate given by a predictive model is provided as a guide for further diffusion. We show that the proposed approach uses the predictive model to remove the vocalizing and breathing artifacts while producing very high quality samples thanks to the diffusion model, even in adverse conditions. We further show that this approach enables to use lighter sampling schemes with fewer diffusion steps without sacrificing quality, thus lifting the computational burden by an order of magnitude. Source code and audio examples are available online (https://uhh.de/inf-sp-storm).

Market sentiment analysis on social media content requires knowledge of both financial markets and social media jargon, which makes it a challenging task for human raters. The resulting lack of high-quality labeled data stands in the way of conventional supervised learning methods. Instead, we approach this problem using semi-supervised learning with a large language model (LLM). Our pipeline generates weak financial sentiment labels for Reddit posts with an LLM and then uses that data to train a small model that can be served in production. We find that prompting the LLM to produce Chain-of-Thought summaries and forcing it through several reasoning paths helps generate more stable and accurate labels, while using a regression loss further improves distillation quality. With only a handful of prompts, the final model performs on par with existing supervised models. Though production applications of our model are limited by ethical considerations, the model's competitive performance points to the great potential of using LLMs for tasks that otherwise require skill-intensive annotation.

From these rejjions his worsliip came to the West through the Humans. altliuugU it is not mentioned by contemporary writers till the first century of our era, and the earliest Latin inscriptions belong to the early second century. The cult with its mysteries Avas popu- lar in the army and quickly spread over the whole Roman world, as its monuments in all the frontier j)rovinees plainly show. The nature of the religion is obscure, as the sacred writings have perished and information must be drawn either from the writings of Christian adver- saries or from the representations in the numer- ous places of worship. It seems clear that the basis of the cult was derived from the Mazdean worship, but with a considerable mi.turc of Chaldsean worship of the heavenly bodies. Mithras seems to have owed his prominence to the belief that he was the source of all life, and could also redeem the souls of the dead anil bring them into the better world. This worsliip was celebrated in underground chambers of small size, to which only those who belonged to the higher degrees were admitted, and was jirobably conducted according to elaborate ritual pre- scriptions. The ceremonies included a sort of baptism to remove sins, anointing, and a sacred meal of bread and water, while a consecrated wine believed to possess wonderful power played a prominent part. The mysteries containe(l seven degrees, of which the first tliree seem to have been probationary and not to have admitted to the sacred ceremonies. The degrees arc given in tliis order: (1) Coro J or Raven; (2) Gruphus or Griffin; (3) Miles or Soldier; (4) Leo or Lion; (.')) Perscs or Persian; (6) flelioclromos or Courier of the Sun; (7) Patres or Fathers, who were at the head of the cult, and whose chief was the Pater palruin. The other initiates called themselves brethren (fratrcs). Women seem to have been excluded from the rites. The nature of the initiation is not known. The un- doubted similarity in much cif this worship with the new religion of Cliristianity seems only to have made the battle between the rivals bitterer, and with the triumph of Christianity began the destruction of the ^lithras worship, and bv the end of the fourth century it seems to have been practically extinct in the West.

He soon subdued the tribes along the northern coast of the Euxine as far as the Tauric Cherso- nese and incorporated the Kingdom of Bosporus; he then prepared to extend his conquests south of the Kuxine, and invaded Cappaducia and Bitliy- nia.

The immediate cause of the First Mithridatic War was the invasion of the territories of Mith- ridates by Xicomedes, King of Bithynia. at the in- stigation of the Romans. Mithridates quickly compelled Xicomedes to withdraw, but was in the end defeated by the Roman general Flavius Fim- bria, while his general Archelaus was defeated in tireece by Sulla. It was in the course of this war that Jlitliridates issued an order to all the cities of Asia to put to death, on the same day, all the Roman and Italian citizens wlio were to be found within their walls. Eighty tliousand Romans and Italians are said to have perished in this massacre. As a result of the First Jlith- ridatie War, Mithridates consented to abandon all his conquests in Asia, to pay a sum of 2000 talents, and to surrender to the llomans a fleet of seventy ships. The Second Mithridatic War was due to the invasion of Jlithridates's do- minions by the Roman general Murena. The war was in the main favorable to ilitliridates, but was short-lived, ilurena being soon ordered by Sulla to withdraw. In B.C. 74 Xicomedes 111., King of Bithynia. died, leaving his dominions by will to the Romans.

Reverse Receding Gums At Home
Reverse Receding Gums
This article investigates the connection between these two requirements and poses some of the potential causes. Periodontal Disease may be the result of bacteria being present in the moutharea; when bacteria gets a foothold it has an inclination to make plaque which, over time, hardens into tartar. Tartar causes hard stains to look on the tooth; these hard areas are where the plaque matches the gums and supports a tooth’s roots.
When the bacteria infect the gums, they attack the tissues that support the teeth and lead them to be diminished. The consequence of this problem is that the teeth eventually become loose and more prone to decay. There are numerous symptoms to look for.
After the tooth is not properly encouraged, they have a tendency to stick together. Sometimes that causes a gap between teeth and the gums can become infected as well. If the teeth do not fit properly in the bone supporting the tooth is not supported, and the bone and the tooth are exposed to infection by bacteria. Today Read More About Reverse Receding Gums At Home
Dental or gum disease can be caused by a number of facets. An elevated susceptibility for this illness can be caused by unhealthy eating habits that have a poor diet less than optimal nutrition.
This leads us to the principal focus of the article, the way to find a natural cure for Receding Gums and Periodontitis. This natural cure is intended to displace proper gum and tooth care and stop the onset of disease.
It’s very important to understand that the treatment for this problem involves treating both the symptoms of dry mouth (as well as an overall lack of proper nutrition) and supporting the teeth and gums. Unfortunately, by definition, the symptoms of dry mouth are so obvious they tend to be ignored in favor of other concerns.
How To Reverse Receding Gums?
Receding gums and periodontitis are linked since the main reason for these conditions is gingivitis.
While dental hygiene is always a fantastic notion, too much care might distract from serious problems that demand treatment. Finding a natural cure for Receding Gums and Periodontitis necessitates care of different facets of your wellbeing as well.
To begin with, you have to ensure your daily diet is high in nutrition and low in processed foods; that ensures proper nutrition that encourages and fixes the own body. You must also ensure that you do not have a heightened level of sugar levels on your own system because this can, ironically, raise the odds of receding gums and periodontitis.
Finally, your body cannot heal it self; therefore, you must discover a way to supplement the use of one’s immune system. Supplements which contain powerful anti oxidants and vital vitamins are what you need to look for.
If you want to learn how to find an all natural cure for Receding Gums and Periodontitis, this article has provided you with an summary of some of those natural treatments available. If you abide by the information in this article you will be well on the path to avoiding the symptoms of these two serious problems.
Many people are confused about whether or not receding gums are really a disease or when it’s just a portion of a normal aging procedure. In some cases, nevertheless, gingivitis or periodontal disease was found in young people as well as the elderly. These are normally referred to as regurgitation.
Reverse Receding Gums Naturally
Regarding chronic gum disease, it is the periodontal pockets which recede more than normal. As a result of this, the longer you keep your mouth closed, the larger the amount of pockets that will be removed over time. Sometimes a receding gums natural cure will help, but the best purpose is to avoid the pockets from ever forming.
For those who have one or more of these requirements, an all natural cure needs to be properly implemented immediately. Once you have found the ideal natural cure, however, it is well worth the effort to attain healthy teeth and gums.
Although gum disease is one of the very common forms of periodontal disease, you should take care of the front teeth, as well as the spine ones. It might appear strange to keep your front teeth but they’re a lot more vulnerable to gum disease because they touch the back teeth.
People do not realize how important oral hygiene can be. Having healthy gums can create an immense difference in not simply the appearance of one’s smile, but the health of one’s teeth. With a good oral hygiene regimen, you can usually even prevent the problems associated with gum disease.
With a bad breath problem, should you smell garlic or onions, it might be an indication your mouth is unhealthy. Smelling such as sausage or cabbage is caused by too much oral bacteria. A fantastic solution to combat that is to be certain that you brush every day with a mouthwash, and utilize floss.
Can You Reverse Receding Gums?
You should also try to avoid excess plaque build up on the teeth. There are various kinds of plaque that can grow, depending on the foods you eat and the manner that you just weigh. Some of the foods you should avoid are carbonated drinks, citrus fruits, vegetables, and spicy foods.
The very first step in combating a receding gums natural cure will be to ensure that your daily diet is very good for your teeth. By cutting out the awful foods and increasing the consumption of foodstuffs your body likes, you’re able to avoid a receding gums natural cure. Again, flossing can be really a huge part of the
This is a good habit to get in to, as it will help you prevent gingivitis or periodontal disease.
As mentioned previously, your bad breath might possibly be caused by a terrible mouth. Brushing and flossing will help to eliminate this problem, but also try to drink lots of water. Your mouth is dry almost all the timedrinking and drinking a great deal of water is actually a fantastic way to hydrate your mouth.
Once you are at the dentist, be certain you are properly educated about dental hygiene. Many dentists utilize their practice to continue to keep patients from losing confidence in their oral health. There are a number of reasons that a receding gums natural cure may not work. But with some hard work and determination, it is possible to obtain your teeth back to great shape.

How to Relieve Endometriosis Pain
Endometriosis is a condition that largely affects women in their childbearing years. Tissue that would normally grow inside the uterus as a part of the uterine lining, is found growing outside of the uterus. It usually isn’t dangerous or will even be noticed, but it can cause pain and other symptoms in some women.
The lining of the uterus is called the “endometrium.” Clumps of endometrium growing on the outside of the uterus are called “implants.” These are generally limited to organs of the reproductive system or other organs in the abdomen. Only very rarely do they spread outside of this area.
Normally, the endometrium thickens every month with the release of an egg into the uterus. If this egg isn’t fertilized, then the lining is shed during your monthly menstrual cycle.
The implants growing outside the uterus will do the same thing, thickening and then breaking down to be released during menses.
However, the implants are not able to be shed with the rest of the uterine lining. This can cause irritation, and at least sometimes that implants will create scarring and irritation on other reproductive organs. Occasionally, they will also cause cysts to form.
The causes of endometriosis are unknown. However, it is thought that it has something to do with an overabundance of estrogen.
Women in childbearing years often have large amounts of the hormone in their bodies. These are also the years when it is most likely that a woman will develop the condition. While this coincidence cannot be taken to prove the cause, it can be taken as a possible connection.
endometriosis pain symptoms
The symptoms of the condition are pain, abnormal bleeding during menses, and difficulty getting pregnant. Where you experience pain will depend on where your implants are growing.
You may have extreme cramping during menses, lower backache in the one or two days leading up to your period, or general pelvic pain.
The location of implants will also determine other aspects of pain. You may experience pain only during menses, during sex, during a bowel movement or only at ovulation.
There may also be significant issues with bleeding. Endometriosis can cause you to have extremely heavy periods, spotting between periods, bleeding after sex or in urine or stool. Again, this will depend on the location of your implants.
Finally, endometriosis can inhibit a woman’s ability to get pregnant. In fact, this may be the only symptom that some women will experience of the condition.
This will make an inability to conceive a mystery, since they haven’t experienced any of the other symptoms, leaving them without a clue that there’s anything wrong.
endometriosis pain relief
endometriosis pain treatment
There are at least two different routes taken for treatment depending on whether you’d like to relieve pain and bleeding, or whether you’re hoping to get pregnant. With the first, drugs and birth control are an option. For the latter, the only option may be surgery to remove the implants.
Again, depending on where the implants are, you will experience pain in different places. This can be in the rectum, vagina, lower back, abdomen or the legs.
Painkillers
Your first measure will often to take the over-the-counter painkillers that are in your house. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are generally particularly effective because as well as pain relief, they also have anti-inflammatory abilities and can therefore help with bleeding as well.
Take the painkillers in regularly scheduled doses rather than just when the pain arrives. It will be more effective to have the drug circulating in your system, rather than waiting until the pain comes to take some.
If one NSAID is ineffective, then you can switch to a different brand or to acetaminophen like Tylenol.
Heat
Another measure you can take immediately is to apply heat to the area. This might be in the form of heating pads, but it might also be by taking a hot bath or shower and directing the water onto your affected areas.
Birth Control
If your pain is too severe for these simple measures, you can start taking birth control. These are hormonal in nature and will inhibit both your regular menstrual cycle and also the growth of implants. However, this is obviously not an option for women who are trying to get pregnant.
You can also start taking hormonal treatments directly. These are generally a stronger dose than is going to come in a birth control pill. Because they are stronger, they can also have more side effects.
The three main types used are gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist, progestin and Danazol. All three lower estrogen levels and therefore help to relieve endometriosis pain. However, all three, and especially Danazol have significant side effects as well.
These will have the same effect as birth control, and they also will prevent you from getting pregnant.
Surgery
If these are also insufficient to relieve your suffering, there are some surgical options available. Laparoscopy can be used to reduce scarring and remove implants.
This is the insertion of a laparoscope into the abdomen through a very small incision. It is much less damaging than the full laparotomy that used to be the norm for any surgery on the abdomen.
Finally, as a last resort, it is possible that endometriosis will lead to a full hysterectomy. This is the removal of both the uterus and the ovaries.
Estrogen levels will immediately drop and so will your suffering from endometriosis. However, it is a fairly radical measure to take and will obviously not be an option if you are hoping to become pregnant.
It is advisable that if you are close to menopause, you try to manage your symptoms until hormonal changes take care of the condition for you. Menopause usually comes with a large drop in estrogen levels, and your endometriosis will be relieved simply by waiting.

Winter Storm Emma (2018) → Storm Emma (2018) – Per WP:CONSISTENCY. Using "Storm" before the storm name is a common practice for European windstorm naming. B dash (talk) 10:01, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
* Support per nom. I suspect this article was so named because of the snow/ice element, but seeing as a large number of European windstorms occur in winter and our naming policy is to title them "Storm X" rather than "Winter Storm X" then this should be moved to reflect that.

Propose deletion/move material to windstorm season page and Beast from the east page.
I don't know why this storm merits an article of its own, it should probably be merged into 2018 Great Britain and Ireland cold wave or the relevant windstorm season page. It wasn't even investigated by Perils (https://www.perils.org/losses) and does not exceed their qualification criteria, which is generally the threshold used to assess notability of European windstorms.Lacunae (talk) 16:32, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
* I've always wondered why we have two articles covering this subject. I was going to suggest moving the information from the cold wave to this article, particularly as that one includes some data relating to other countries outside the sphere of the British Isles. However, Storm Emma did not cause that cold spell, but perhaps prolonged it, so I think yours is the better suggestion. At some point let's have a go at merging it with 2018 Great Britain and Ireland cold wave, though I guess we can't do anything immediately since the move discussion will need to run its course. Storm Emma should have an entry on the relevant European windstorm page though. This is Paul (talk) 16:45, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

The Liberal Democrats is a political party that was formed in 2015. It was formed in response to the failed economy of Zimbabwe after the GNU did not deliver to the people of Zimbabwe what it was set to deliver.
The Liberal Democrats started its operations in Johannesburg South Africa in the diaspora and works back into Zimbabwe to educate the electorate about their civic duties and rights. In February 2016 it campaigned against the spending of US$800 000 on Mr Mugabe's birthday delivering a petition to the Zimbabwean Embassy in Pretoria.
The Liberal Democrats has also clearly voiced its desired to litigate against people perceived to be abusing Mr Mugabe whom it claims must have the rights of dignity and the elderly observed so that he can retire in peace.

You can specify assets_dir in flet.app() call to set the location of assets that should be available to the application. assets_dir could be a relative to your main.py directory or an absolute path. For example, consider the following program structure:
/assets
/images/my-image.png
main.py
You can access your images in the application as following:
import flet as ft
def main(page: ft.Page):
page.add(ft.Image(src=f"/images/my-image.png"))
ft.app(
target=main,
assets_dir="assets"
)
Favicon
To override favicon with your own put favicon.png file into the root of assets directory. It should be a PNG image with the size of at least 32x32 pixels.
Loading animation
To override Flet animation image put icons/loading-animation.png image with your own app logo into the the root of assets directory.
If you like to completely customize Flutter app initialization logic you can modify Flet's original index.html following the instructions in Flutter documentation. A customized index.html must be placed in the root of assets directory.

Easy fix. In addClass, if elem.className == "", className string parameter is assigned to elem.className without checking for dupes. This fix also works for addClass taking a callback parameter.
addClass: function( value ) {
var classNames, i, l, elem,
setClass, c, cl;
if ( jQuery.isFunction( value ) ) {
return this.each(function( j ) {
jQuery( this ).addClass( value.call(this, j, this.className) );
});
}
if ( value && typeof value === "string" ) {
classNames = value.split( rspace );
for ( i = 0, l = this.length; i < l; i++ ) {
elem = this[ i ];
if ( elem.nodeType === 1 ) {
//begin fix
setClass = " " + elem.className ? elem.className + " " : "";
for ( c = 0, cl = classNames.length; c < cl; c++ ) {
if ( !~setClass.indexOf( " " + classNames[ c ] + " " ) ) {
setClass += classNames[ c ] + " ";
}
}
elem.className = jQuery.trim( setClass );
//end
}
}

It's not a matter of being easy or not, of course it's easy, ut you're asking for a patch to correct a behaviour caused by you code mis-using the API.

Actually, it does check for dupes in that case.

ECB has tools left but now governments must fight crisis: Schnabel
FRANKFURT (Reuters) - The European Central Bank (ECB) has all of its tools still available to mitigate the coronavirus crisis but it is time for politicians, particularly at a European level, to take action, ECB board member Isabel Schnabel told a German newspaper. With Europe’s economy imploding, the ECB has agreed to a range of stimulus measures including ultra-cheap loans to banks and asset buys worth 1.1 trillion euros ($1.2 trillion) this year, all in the hope of keeping borrowing costs for firms and governments at rock bottom level. “The ECB is in the comfortable position of having a large set of tools, none of which has been used to its full extent,” Schnabel told Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung. “We have the key interest rates, we have instruments for providing liquidity to the banks, and we have the asset purchase programs,” Schnabel said. “The claim that central banks have run out of tools simply doesn’t match up to the facts.” But she said the ECB alone was not enough and the European Union also needed to act to compliment national measures. “There are proposals to use the European Stability Mechanism or the European Investment Bank. The issuance of one-off ‘corona bonds’ would also be conceivable. It is up to politicians to decide,” Schnabel said. For the full text of Schnabel's interview, please click: here~e8725acf2f.en.html.

13 Going on 30
13 Going on 30 is a 2004 film in which a 13-year-old girl's birthday wish transforms her into her 30-year-old future self, and she learns that her dreams of popularity and high fashion may not lead where she expects.
* Directed by Gary Winick. Written by Josh Goldsmith and Cathy Yuspa.
For some, 13 feels like it was just yesterday. For Jenna, it was. (Taglines)
Lucy Wyman
* [after Jenna says she's 13] Jenna, if you're gonna start lying about your age, I'd go with 27.
* [to Jenna] Okay, you can wipe the doe-eyed, Bambi-watching-her-mother-get-shot-and-strapped-to-the-back-of-the-van look from your face.
Matt Flamhaff
* [to Jenna] You don't always get the dream house, but you get awfully close, you know?
* It doesn't matter what Lucy said. I stopped trusting her after she stole my Pop Rocks in the third grade.
Jenna Rink
* I wanna be thirty. Thirty and flirty and thriving.
* [hearing her cell phone ring] Can you hear that, sir? Can you hear the music?
* [dragging Matt to the dance floor] Oh for the love of Pete! You taught it to me!
* [at a huge party] I'll have a Pina Colada, not virgin. Do you wanna see my ID? Totally have it!
* [to Trish Sackett] You know what? You are rude and mean and sloppy and frizzy! I don't like you at all!
* What is that attitude? We are young. Heartache to heartache, we stand. Love is a battlefield.
Dialogue
* Young Matt: Hey, Jenna. [takes a picture of him and Jenna]
* Young Jenna Rink: Matt, please. No more pictures.
* Young Matt: Come on, it's your 13th birthday. We gotta document it.
* [Jenna has invited the most popular girls in school to her 13th birthday party.]
* Young Matt: You know, I can't believe you invited those clones.
* Young Jenna Rink: They're my friends.
* Young Matt: The Six Chicks are not your friends, okay?
* Young Jenna Rink: Well, almost. And someday, I'm gonna BE a Sixth Chick.
* Young Matt: There are six of them, Jenna, that's the whole point. There can't be a seventh Sixth Chick. It's just mathematically impossible. Besides you're way cooler than they are, they're totally unoriginal.
* Young Jenna Rink: I don't want to be original, Matty, I want to be cool.
* [repeated lines]
* Matt: Arrivederci.
* Jenna: Au revoir.
* Beverly Rink: Just because you don't look like those girls in Poise magazine doesn't mean you're not beautiful in your own way.
* Young Jenna Rink: I don't wanna be beautiful in my own way. I wanna look like these people!
* Beverly Rink: Oh, those aren't people, honey. Those are models.
* Young Jenna Rink: Look at this. [reads from magazine] "Thirty and flirty and thriving. Why the thirties are the best years of your life." I wanna be thirty.
* Beverly Rink: [chuckles] Well, you will be, honey. But right now, you're my beautiful 13-year-old.
* Lucy: Can you get in the car?
* Jenna: I can't get in the car, I don't get in the car with strangers.
* Lucy: Please get in the car, we're gonna be late.
* Jenna: I can't get in the car, I don't know you.
* Lucy: Just get in the car.
* Jenna: I don't get in the car with strangers!
* Lucy: You're being a little paranoid.
* Lucy: Honey, I know I'm your best friend, but the slip-dress is a little '97... unless it's retro.
* Jenna: [surprised] Are you really my best friend?
* Lucy: [wondering why Jenna is acting so strange] You're pregnant.
* Jenna: [horrified] Oh, no! Oh, my God, no!
* Lucy: [relieved] Thank God. You scare me. What did you do last night?
* Jenna: [nervous] See, that's just it. Something really strange is happening. I slept in an apartment I've never seen before... and there was a naked man in my shower and I saw his thingy.
* Lucy: [sarcastically] Oh, God. Not his thingy. [to driver] Driver, could you please pull over, since we're here?
* Lucy: [regarding security breaches at the company] Richard, we are hiring new printers, we're installing passwords. We're building firewalls on all the computers. Jenna fired Charlotte yesterday.
* Richard: [to Jenna] Did you? Good, I guarantee she has friends at Sparkle. She was always taking notes.
* Lucy: She was a secretary.
* Richard: Yeah, whatever.
* Jenna: [on the sidewalk, ringing the buzzer for an upstairs apartment] Hello? Yeah. Hi, this is Jenna and I'm looking for Matt. I don't know if you're him, but if you lived on Spruce Street and if your favorite shirt is a gray velour one, I need to speak to you.
* Matt: [talking over speaker-system, poor reception] Hello? Hello? You know what? I got none of that. But if you're here from Ming Gardens food delivery, ring twice. If not, I really don't want it.
* [Jenna walks upstairs and knocks on the door to apt. 2-B; Matt opens the door and sees Jenna.]
* Matt: You're not Chinese.
* Matt: Jenna, what are you... Why are you here?
* Jenna: Matty, I told you - something really weird is happening. Yesterday was my 13th birthday, and then today I woke up and I'm this, and you, I mean - you're that! You get it?
* Matt: [long pause] Are you high? You been smoking pot? Doing X? Fallen into a K-Hole? You doing drugs?
* Jenna: [panicked] I want a fluffy pillow!
* Matt: A fluffy pillow, coming right up.
* Becky: Why are you talking to me?
* Jenna: Why not? We are neighbors, right?
* Becky: But you usually ignore me.
* Jenna: I like your shoes.
* Becky: Thanks. I like your dress.
* Jenna: That's because I have these incredible boobs to fill it out!
* Becky: I like your bag.
* Jenna: Thanks, but you should come by sometime. I got like a zillion of them.
* Becky: [suddenly surprised] Really?
* Jenna: Yeah, it would be totally cool. Becky, can I ask you something?
* Becky: Yeah, sure.
* Jenna: Can you tell I'm wearing underwear? 'Cause I totally am.
* Becky: I think that kinda the point!
* Lucy: [at a huge party] Speaking of disasters, what is she doing here?
* Jenna: Who?
* Lucy: Sparkle's editor-in-chief, Trish Sackett. Twelve o'clock and headed our way.
* Trish: [smugly] Hi, girls. Our J. Lo issue is selling like hotcakes. How's yours doing?
* Lucy: [sarcastically] My God, Trish, are things so bad you had to come to our party to eat free food? Please, put some crab in your purse for later.
* Trish: You might want to keep some of that biting wit for your magazine. Or you could change the name to something more appropriate...like Poison or Pitiful. Whatever's more pathetic.
* Jenna: You know what? You are rude and mean and sloppy and frizzy. I don't like you at all.
* Trish: Well, fortunately, I don't care about being liked. I care about winning.
* Arlene: I have your urgent messages.
* Jenna: Let's hear them.
* Arlene: Well, okay. Emily Pratt called and wanted me to tell you, "I can't believe you scooped my story on Vivienne Tam, you backbiting bitch. That was a new level of sleaze, even for you. I hope you die in one of her casual pantsuits."
* Jenna: Oh, my God, that was so mean.
* Arlene: Miss Lewis called. She said, "I hope you choke on your own bile, you pretentious, conniving snake."
* Jenna: Maybe I should read them myself.
* Jenna: What happened?
* Matt: I don't know. I can pretty much peg it to your 13th birthday, when you were in the closet playing that game. Spin the Rapist?
* Jenna: [suddenly remembers] Seven Minutes in Heaven. Everybody ditched. And that is the last thing I remembered.
* Beverly Rink: Well, Jenna, I know I made a lot of mistakes, but I don't regret making any of them.
* Jenna: How come?
* Beverly Rink: Because if I hadn't have made them, I wouldn't have learned how to make things right.
* Jenny: I don't know what Lucy said to you about me. But I want you to know that whoever she was talking about wasn't me.
* Matt: It doesn't matter what Lucy said. I stopped trusting her after she stole my Pop Rocks in the third grade.

IP Address Block Lists – Safeguarding Your Network from Cyber Threats
In the ever-evolving landscape of cyber security, one of the most potent tools at your disposal is the IP address block list. This powerful mechanism acts as a gatekeeper, shielding your network from malicious actors and potential threats. Understanding how to leverage IP address block lists effectively can significantly enhance your network security posture. At its core, an IP address block list is a compilation of IP addresses known for malicious activities or deemed unsafe based on various criteria. These criteria can include previous cyber-attacks, suspicious behavior, or associations with known threat actors. By proactively blocking access from these flagged IP addresses, organizations can mitigate risks and fortify their defenses against cyber threats. One of the primary benefits of using IP address block lists is the ability to prevent unauthorized access to your network. Malicious actors often employ tactics such as brute-force attacks or exploit vulnerabilities to gain entry into systems. By implementing an IP address block list, you can effectively deny access to these threat sources, thwarting their attempts to compromise your network.
Digital Fraud Detection
Furthermore, IP address block lists play a crucial role in safeguarding sensitive data and critical assets. With the rise of data breaches and cyber-attacks targeting valuable information, organizations must adopt robust security measures. By blocking IP addresses associated with malicious activities, you create an additional layer of defense, reducing the likelihood of data breaches and unauthorized access to confidential data. Another key advantage of IP address block lists is their proactive nature in combating emerging threats. Cyber threats are constantly evolving, with new tactics and attack vectors emerging regularly. By continuously updating and monitoring IP address block lists, organizations can stay ahead of potential threats and adapt their security strategies accordingly. Implementing IP address block lists also contributes to network efficiency and performance. By blocking access from known malicious sources, you reduce the burden on your network infrastructure, improving overall performance and reliability. The result is a seamless and secure experience for your customers, leading to higher conversion rates and long-term loyalty.
This proactive approach to network security not only enhances protection but also optimizes operational efficiency and check IP blacklist. It is essential to note that while IP address block lists are a powerful tool, they should be used in conjunction with other cyber security measures. A comprehensive security strategy combines multiple layers of defense, including firewalls, intrusion detection systems, encryption, and user authentication protocols. By integrating IP address block lists into this holistic approach, organizations can create a robust defense posture against a wide range of cyber threats. IP address block lists are a critical component of modern cyber security strategies, offering proactive protection against cyber threats. By leveraging the power of IP address block lists, organizations can safeguard their networks, protect sensitive data, and maintain operational resilience in the face of evolving cyber threats. Embracing this technology is not just about defense it is about empowering organizations to stay one step ahead in the ever-changing landscape of cyber security.

RhPROP. VI.———— to, and which principally influenced the philosophy of succeeding times. Yet what could be made of a doctrine which asserted that all existence was both particular and universal, in the face of an unbounded creation, apparently teeming with merely particular existences? That position seemed to be checkmated at once, both by the senses and the reason of mankind. Could Plato have maintained a thesis so indefensible? That was scarcely credible: and altogether the perplexity was so great that philosophers were driven to accept the other alternative, as the simpler and more intelligible interpretation of the two, and to construe the Platonic analysis of Knowing and Being as a division of these into kinds, and not into elements. They supposed Plato to maintain that every cognition and every existence is either particular or universal; and thus they ascribed to him the very doctrine which he virtually denied, and took from him the very doctrine which he virtually affirmed.
19. This charge requires some explanation. When it is said that philosophers generally have misapprehended the Platonic analysis, this does not mean that they expressly adopted the wrong interpretation, and expressly disavowed the right one. They were not thus explicit in their error: they did not perceive the wideness of the distinction between kinds and elements, and, therefore, all that is meant is that they manifested a marked bias in favour of the wrong

“I never deny anything that amuses me,” he said lightly. “But the accusation is really too ridiculous.”
“Ah! you think so?” The Frenchman leant forward. His face was twitching painfully, and yet he seemed perplexed and baffled—as though something in Anthony’s manner puzzled him. “What if I tell you, Monsieur, that this time—this time—I am out to get King Victor, and nothing shall stop me!”
“Very laudable,” was Anthony’s comment. “You’ve been out to get him before, though, haven’t you, Lemoine? And he’s got the better of you. Aren’t you afraid that that may happen again? He’s a slippery fellow, by all accounts.”
The conversation had developed into a duel between the detective and Anthony. Every one else in the room was conscious of the tension. It was a fight to a finish between the Frenchman, painfully in earnest, and the man who smoked so calmly and whose words seemed to show that he had not a care in the world.
“If I were you, Lemoine,” continued Anthony, “I should be very, very careful. Watch your step, and all that sort of thing.”
“This time,” said Lemoine grimly, “there will be no mistake.”
“You seem very sure about it all,” said Anthony. “But there’s such a thing as evidence, you know.”
Lemoine smiled, and something in his smile seemed to attract Anthony’s attention. He sat up and stubbed out his cigarette.
“You saw that note I wrote just now?” said the French detective. “It was to my people at the inn. Yesterday I received from France the finger-prints and the Bertillon measurements of King Victor—the so-called Captain O’Neill. I have asked for them to be sent up to me here. In a few minutes we shall know whether you are the man!”
Anthony stared steadily at him. Then a little smile crept over his face.
“You’re really rather clever, Lemoine. I never thought of that. The documents will arrive, you will induce me to dip my fingers in the ink, or something equally unpleasant, you will measure my ears and look for my distinguishing marks. And if they agree”
“Well,” said Lemoine, “if they agree—eh?”
Anthony leant forward in his chair.

What Kind of External Hard Drive Should You Buy?
As more consumers are starting to build a growing library of digital music and movies, thoughts soon turn to the purchase of some form of external hard drive.
An external hard drive can greatly increase the capacity of your computer's available memory, allowing you to remove precious files from your computer or laptop and store them on a secure, backup library. However, countless external hard drives are on the market. Therefore, you should consider a number of questions to help you decide which is the right kind for you.
How much do you want to spend?
The cost of an external hard drive can vary considerably. As a general rule, the more memory that you want to buy, the more you can expect to pay. But there is a big difference between different brands and types of external drive. It pays to shop around, as this is a highly competitive market and you'll often find good deals. But always start off with an idea of how much you want to pay.
How mobile does your hard drive need to be?
If you solely use a desktop computer, then you may be more interested in a larger hard drive that can happily be stored and connected in one location. If, however, you intend to access the hard drive over multiple devices (a laptop and a mobile phone, for example, or a work computer and home computer), then you may need to look for a smaller, lighter model that you can easily move around. Think about how practical it is to use a certain type of external hard drive.
What kind of operating system and hardware restrictions do you have?
Most external hard drives can be configured for either a PC or a Mac, but you should always check before you buy, as this is not always the case. More important, many new drives are compatible only with more recent versions of software; if you are running an older machine, you may be restricted by the range of drives that are available to you. If you are going to access the drive on a company machine, bear in mind that there may be hardware restrictions preventing you from connecting to the files. Confirm what your company will permit you to access before you make any kind of buying decision.
Are there other options?
For backup and storage, an external hard drive may not be the only solution. Many companies now offer cloud-based storage solutions, whereby your files are retained in a 'cloud,' or virtual, environment. This means that you don't have a physical drive and that you simply access your files over an Internet connection. These services can be relatively inexpensive and offer the peace of mind of multiple backups, but you could have a problem if you lose your Internet connection. Alternatively, you may just want to clear space on your computer and restrict what you store.
External hard drives can be an important piece of equipment when it comes to backup security and storage. They can be found relatively inexpensively, too. But do your homework first to ensure that you end up with the right product for your circumstances.

Review: ‘Nobody Speak,’ a Bombastic Look at Hulk Hogan’s Gawker Lawsuit
If freedom of the press includes the right to print all-caps headlines with exclamation points, it also includes the right to make a cinematic exposé so bombastic that it poorly serves its own cause, however important. Brian Knappenberger’s documentary “Nobody Speak: Trials of the Free Press,” which is being released simultaneously in theaters and on Netflix, draws a through-line from Hulk Hogan’s privacy lawsuit against Gawker Media to the journalistic challenges posed by the presidency of Donald J. Trump, with three overarching points to make. The first is that whatever you think of Gawker’s decision to publish an excerpt from a sex tape featuring Mr. Hogan, a professional wrestler whose real name is Terry G. Bollea, the case had potentially far-ranging implications for the news media’s ability to cover public figures. The $140 million judgment against Gawker, which filed for bankruptcy and was later sold to Univision — the suit was ultimately settled with Mr. Hogan for $31 million — sets a precedent that the movie argues could snuff out significant reporting. (Not all legal experts are so sure.) The second is that the lawsuit itself, subsequently revealed to have been bankrolled by Peter Thiel, the PayPal founder and Silicon Valley billionaire, represented a disturbing instance of a powerful figure secretly using wealth to stifle a voice he regarded as adversarial. The movie suggests that while moguls meddling in the news is at least as old as William Randolph Hearst, hidden puppeteering of this sort is new. About an hour in, the movie clumsily shifts focus, introducing former staff members of The Las Vegas Review-Journal who recount Sheldon Adelson’s secretive acquisition of that paper, a publication that could theoretically serve as a check on Mr. Adelson’s dealings. The third, hardly a surprise, is that the presidency of Mr. Trump, who makes a regular target of reporters, represents a threat to news organizations interested in pursuing the truth. But just because “Nobody Speak” has a timely message doesn’t make it an ideal messenger. Mr. Knappenberger seems to have created this impassioned defense of news organizations for moviegoers who don’t keep up with the news. Almost nothing in “Nobody Speak” breaks new ground. As if afraid of boring anybody, Mr. Knappenberger lays on a percussive synthesizer score so insistent and manipulative that it’s like watching the movie with electrodes attached. The featured interviewees include the parties involved, mostly with the Gawker side (the site’s founder, Nick Denton, and Albert J. Daulerio, who wrote the post that accompanied the Hogan video, are heard from). Among the outside experts are the First Amendment lawyer Floyd Abrams, who defended The New York Times in the Pentagon Papers case, and Margaret Sullivan, the Times’s former public editor (now with The Washington Post). They frame the issues in reasonable sound bites, though Ms. Sullivan in particular has addressed the Gawker matter in more depth elsewhere. In that sense, perhaps the hacky presentation is strategic — a way of incentivizing viewers to click off Netflix and read the news instead.

Anolis
Anolis is a genus of anoles, iguanian lizards in the family Dactyloidae, native to the Americas. With more than 425 species, it represents the world's most species-rich amniote tetrapod genus, although many of these have been proposed to be moved to other genera, in which case only about 45 Anolis species remain. Previously, it was classified under the family Polychrotidae that contained all the anoles, as well as Polychrus, but recent studies place it in the Dactyloidae.
Taxonomy
This very large genus displays considerable paraphyly, but phylogenetic analysis suggests a number of subgroups or clades. Whether these clades are best recognized as subgenera within Anolis or separate genera remains a matter of dispute.
If the clades are recognized as full genera, about 45 species remain in Anolis, with the remaining moved to Audantia (9 species), Chamaelinorops (7 species), Ctenonotus (more than 40 species), Dactyloa (circa 95 species), Deiroptyx (almost 35 species), Norops (about 190 species), and Xiphosurus (around 15 species). Some of these can be further subdivided. For example, Phenacosaurus was often listed as a full genus in the past, but it is a subclade within Dactyloa (Dactyloa heteroderma species group). Among the subgroups within Anolis are:
* carolinensis species group (13 species)
* isolepis species group (three species)
In 2011, the green (or Carolina) anole (Anolis carolinensis) became the first reptile to have its complete genome published.
Closely related, recently diverged anole lizards exhibited more divergence in thermal biology than in morphology. These anole lizards are thought to have the same structural niche and have similarities in their size and shape, but they inhabit different climatic niches with was variability in temperature and openness of the environment. This suggests that thermal physiology is more associated with recently diverged anole lizards.
Ecomorphs
Anolis lizards are some of the best examples of both adaptive radiation and convergent evolution. Populations of lizards on isolated islands diverge to occupy separate ecological niches, mostly in terms of the location within the vegetation where they forage (such as in the crown of trees vs. the trunk vs. underlying shrubs). These divergences in habitat are accompanied by morphological changes primarily related to moving on the substrate diameter they most frequently encounter, with twig ecomorphs having short limbs, while trunk ecomorphs have long limbs.
In addition, these patterns repeat on numerous islands, with animals in similar habitats converging on similar body forms repeatedly. This demonstrates adaptive radiation can actually be predictable based on habitat encountered, and experimental introductions onto formerly lizard-free islands have proven Anolis evolution can be predicted.
After appearing on each of the four Greater Antillean Islands about 50 million years ago, Anolis lizards spread on each island to occupy niches in the island's trees. Some living in the tree canopy area, others low on the tree trunk near the ground; others in the mid-trunk area, others on twigs. Each new species developed its own distinct body type, called an ecomorph, adapted to the tree niche where it lived. Together, the different species occupied their various niches in the trees as a "community". A study of lizard fossils trapped in amber shows that the lizard communities have existed for about 20 million years or more. Four modern ecomorph body types, trunk-crown, trunk-ground, trunk, and twig, are represented in the amber fossils study. Close comparison of the lizard fossils with their descendants alive today in the Caribbean shows the lizards have changed little in the millions of years.
Behavior
As ectotherms, Anolis lizards must regulate their body temperature partly through behavioral changes and bask in the sunlight to gain enough heat to become fully active, but lizards cannot behaviorally warm themselves at night when temperatures drop. Because of this, cold tolerance evolves faster than heat tolerance in these lizards. On the island of Hispaniola, both high-altitude and low-altitude lizard populations exist, and the thermal conditions at high and low elevations differ significantly. High-altitude lizards have shifted their ecological niche to boulder environments, where warming themselves is easier, and they show changes in the shape of limbs and skull that make them better adapted to these environments.
To escape dangers, species that lives close to water has adapted the ability to stay submerged for up till 18 minutes.
Species
The Anolis lizards that are less susceptible to predation are those with a dewlap in which both the scales and the exposed skin areas between them match the usual pale gray or whitish of the rest of the ventral surface.
Dewlap
The dewlap is a flap of skin found beneath the jaw or throat of Anolis lizards. It can present in a variety of colorations, and is most present in male anoles. The dewlap is extended by means of the hyoid muscles in the throat, and can be flashed in a "pulse" pattern where the flap is extended repeatedly, or a "moving flag" pattern, where the lizard flashes it continuously while bobbing up and down. The coloration of the dewlap is caused by two pigments, pterins and carotenoids. Pterin pigments are compounds synthesized from guanine, whereas carotenoids are pigments acquired from the diet. Both cause the red-yellow hues most commonly found in Anolis lizard dewlaps. The function of the dewlap in Anolis lizards has been a topic of debate for centuries. It is thought that the dewlap is flashed as a visual signal for other competing males, or as a courtship signal for single females. It has also been hypothesized that the dewlap serves as a signal for sex recognition.
Initial studies
The first study done on dewlap function was by Mertens (1926). The initial assumption was that the dewlap was flashed as a method of sexual selection, and that the males would use it in order to attract females. It is hypothesized that female Anolis lizards are more attracted to males who flash their dewlaps more often, or have more brightly colored dewlaps. This was then challenged by the hypothesis that males flashed their dewlap as a way to threaten other males in the area. During intermale fights, dewlaps are flashed. More currently, many studies have been done on the dewlap as a function for species recognition, with focus on the relationship of the contrast between dewlap color and environment.
Relationship with environment
The dewlap comes in a variety of colors, including yellow, blue, and red. It was previously believed that the color of the dewlap is what mattered most in interlizard interactions, but it has since been found that there exists a relationship between habitat light conditions and dewlap color. This means that, rather than the color being of importance, it is the contrast of the dewlap against the background of its environment that best visually signals to other lizards. There have been many methods used to determine this. Persons et. al (1999) found that the probability of a dewlap showing being detected goes up with the contrast of dewlap against the background. They determined this by measuring the amount of times a "positive response" of the lizard's eyes turning towards a flashed dewlap occurred among different background contrasts. Similarly, Leal and Fleishman (2002) found that the light conditions in which a lizard displays its dewlap affects the probability of it being visually detected. They did this by measuring the UV spectral reflectance of dewlaps in Anolis cristatellus lizards using a spectroradiometer, then measuring the spectral sensitivity of the lizards’ retinal responses using electroretinographic (ERG) flicker photometry.
Evolution
Anolis lizards have emerged to be a good example of adaptive radiation. The difference in dewlap morphology among Anolis lizard populations demonstrates this phenomenon. Anolis lizards have the ability to adapt to different areas of the environment in a way where multiple species can coexist effectively. The amount of vegetation in an environment affects the amount of light absorbed. Studies have shown that lighting affects the dewlap’s function as a visual signal. The diversity in vegetation in Anolis lizards’ environments has caused a similar diversity in dewlap morphology, as different species of anoles adapt to the lighting conditions in their environment. The ability for a lizard to signal effectively also means it is able to defend its territory and attract mates more effectively, making it a good competitor.
The relationship between background contrast and visual signals also suggests that there exists a coevolution between the signals and sensory systems of Anolis lizards. The environmental diversity of Anolis habitats causes a diversity in the recognition of individuals. Sensory systems must be able to effectively pick up on dewlap signals, thus coevolving with the changes in dewlap characteristics.
One of the main limitations to these theories is that of gene flow. Population genetic theory says that gene flow can counteract evolutionary adaptations made and prevent signal divergence, due to an influx of abnormal alleles into the new population. This causes a genetic homogenization and challenges the idea that dewlap morphology in Anolis lizards and their sensory systems have coevolved.

Equality
Programmers frequently need to determine the equality of variables in relation to other variables. This is done using an equality operator.
The most basic equality operator is the == operator. This operator does everything it can to determine if two variables are equal, even if they are not of the same type.
For example, assume:
var foo = 42;
var bar = 42;
var baz = "42";
var qux = "life";
foo == bar will evaluate to true and baz == qux will evaluate to false, as one would expect. However, foo == baz will also evaluate to true despite foo and baz being different types. Behind the scenes the == equality operator attempts to force its operands to the same type before determining their equality. This is in contrast to the === equality operator.
The === equality operator determines that two variables are equal if they are of the same type and have the same value. With the same assumptions as before, this means that foo === bar will still evaluate to true, but foo === baz will now evaluate to false. baz === qux will still evaluate to false.

What Is the Function of Leaves?
function-leaves H Matthew Howarth/CC-BY-SA 2.0
The function of leaves is to help the plant produce food by converting the energy in sunlight into chemical energy that the plant can eat. The structures within the leaf convert the energy and make it possible for the plant to get food.
Chlorophyll is the molecule in the structure of the leaves that takes the energy in sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide gas into sugar and oxygen gas. This conversion process is known as photosynthesis.
Leaves are made out of several layers that are in between two layers of super tough skin cells called epidermis. The epidermis is also known to secrete cuticle, which is a waxy substance. All of these layers protect the leaf from pests such as insects and bacteria. There are also stomata cells that are pores where gases can enter and exit through the leaf.
Most of the food production in the leaf actually takes place in the elongated cells that are known as palisade mesophyll inside the leaf. The leaf also has veins that can help to support the leaf by transporting food, water and minerals to the leaf and to the plant.
Leaves are also important for humans as they are one of the best ways to identify various plants. Leaves come in many shapes and sizes, such as flat, wide, spiky, thin, rectangular and oval.

PROBLEM LINK:

[Contest][222]
Author: [Mayank Bhandari]
Tester: [Full name][5555]
Editorialist: [Mayank Bhandari]
DIFFICULTY:
Medium
PREREQUISITES:
Priority Queue, Mathematics
Problem :
We are given p1,p2,p3,p4,p5, 5 prime numbers and we need to print the X%1000007 where X is among the first K distinct numbers of form (p1^a1)(p2^a2)(p3^a3)(p4^a4)(p5^a5) ,
where a1,a2,a3,a4 & a5 are whole numbers.
EXPLANATION:
The first such number is always 1. The basic idea is to use a priority queue. We will need to put every such element in the queue and the top element of the queue will
return the smallest number. Now we take out the top element and multiply it with all the prime numbers and put it in the queue.
The problems with direct approach for this are :
1. Duplicacy
2. We cannot store numbers largers than 10^18 in long long int, and if we tried using mod, then we know Mod operation can alter the comparisons among two numbers. For ex - 5 % 4 < 2 %4 , while 5 > 2 therefore we cannot use it.
First we overcome second problem by using log(X) and log(Y) to compare. We store log base 10 of the given five numbers in float and we do the addition of log in double.
The reason to use float and double is that A+B+C != C+A+B because of information loss due to precision. By taking float we ensure that this doesn’t happen.
To overcome duplicacy we can simply use map and check the value being pushed. The map will be of form map < log(X), bool(visited) > .
The priority queue will keep the pair of form pair< log(X) , mod(X) >. We take the top element print its mod and add log of p1,p2,p3,p4 and p5 respectively and
check whether a new multiple is formed or not, if yes then we push it accordingly in the map and the queue.
Therefore everytime we pop the top of the priority queue we get the log value and the mod of minimum numbers. We need to do K such pop operations to find out the required output.

Antoni Giełgud
Antoni Giełgud (Antanas Gelgaudas; 27 April 1792 – 13 July 1831) was a Polish-Lithuanian brigadier general and leader of the Polish-Lithuanian forces during the November Uprising.
Early life
Antoni Giełgud was born on 27 April 1792 in the Panemunė Castle, then part of the Kovno Governorate of the Russian Empire. Through his father he was a descendant of the Giełgud (Gelgaudai) noble family, while through his mother, of the Tyszkiewicz noble family. Giełgud was a son of Michał Giełgud, a member of the Permanent Council, and Eleonara Tyszkiewicz, daughter of Stanisław Antoni Tyszkiewicz, castellan of Samogitia.
Napoleonic Wars
During the French invasion of Russia, he financed and commanded the creation of the 21st Infantry Regiment of the Army of the Duchy of Warsaw, which he led since 29 August 1812. He took part in the defence of Modlin fortress. For his contributions to the French campaign, he was awarded the rank of colonel.
November Uprising
In 1818 he was appointed as a brigadier general of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Infantry Division of Kingdom of Poland army by Grand Duke Konstantin. During the November Uprising he returned to active service and initially served as a commanding officer of the 1st Brigades 1st Infantry Division under Jan Krukowiecki. A hero of the battles of Wawer and Białołęka, he was given command over the entire 2nd Infantry Division. He covered the retreat of Polish-Lithuanian forces after the battle of Ostrołęka, but got separated from the main force and decided to head for Lithuania instead. In June 1831 he was appointed the leader of the rebellion in Lithuania.
He defeated the Russians in the Battle of Rajgród, but his assault of Vilnius failed and his corps composed of his own division and the forces of Dezydery Chłapowski lost over 2,000 men in the battle of Paneriai. Unable to return to Polish-Lithuanian main forces at that time converging on Warsaw, he decided to head to Klaipėda, where he was expecting foreign reinforcements. En route, however, all three of Giełgud's columns were intercepted by the Russians and forced to cross the Prussian border. Giełgud himself soon after crossing the border was shot dead by one of his staff officers, enraged by his poor command. He died on 31 August 1831 in the Šnaukštai village while crossing the Agluona river, where he was buried.
Three to five years after the uprising, the Tsar of Russia agreed to transfer the remains of Giełgud to a cemetery in Kisiniai, 10 km from Klaipėda. Giełgud's grave was abandoned up until 1928 or 1929 when representatives of the noble family from the United Kingdom sent over money with a request to the eldership to clean up his grave. It was decorated with a cross, and became a gathering spot for the youth. Giełgud's rebellious legacy is still celebrated to this day.

atrophy even when controlling for age, sex, dementia severity, and physical frailty. It has been shown that physical exercise enhances mental resources by reducing depression 61, anxiety, and chronic stress and improving self-efficacy. Although the functional significance of this effect remains unclear, there freelance is evidence that newly formed neurons can integrate into a neural network and become functional. Results from longitudinal studies show that physical activity and exercise can prevent frailty in older adults. Structural and functional brain imaging studies have provided insights into potential brain mechanisms of cognitive aging. Late-life moderate exercise was associated with a 32 lower risk for MCI. Moreover, participants who reported being active were significantly less likely to have dementia in later life. Aging and Neurocognitive Functions, it is generally assumed that age brings with it declines in performance in a multitude of cognitive tasks that require a variety of perceptual and cognitive processes (for extensive reviews of the literature see 3, 8, 9 ). However, some brain structures showed almost no change (the primary visual cortices, the putamen, and the pons).

George Washington had a vision for the United States of America that seems to be unattainable. In his Farewell Address, he gave a strong warning to the nation: don’t create political parties, and don’t create alliances with other nations. While Washington had good intentions, there was little possibility of his warnings being heeded. Political parties were established before Washington even left office, and permanent alliances with foreign militaries show no signs of disappearing. Washington acknowledged that political parties are a part of human nature in his Farewell Address, and that still holds true today.
With such a simple statement, the audience is able to see that by coming together to face bigger challenges they can do a lot more than they would be able to do if they were divided. Kennedy makes many remarks on how key being united is because he can see how divided the country is close to becoming. Even as John F. Kennedy’s speech progresses, he always refers back to how the audience needs
In his speech the Farewell Address Eisenhower says this, “We reach the goal of peace with justice, be confident but humble with power, diligent in the pursuit of the nation’s great goal.” Dwight D. Eisenhower the 34th president of the United States had one goal in mind to make America great and that was to reach for the goal of peace. This one goal has had a profound impact allowing us to form peace treaties with our nations to prevent war and death. Ben Franklin
Washington knew a strong Constitution had to be in place, which is why he was responsible for the Constitutional Convention. The effects of his inaugural address and presidency really mattered, given he was the first of our many presidents. George Washington proved he truly cared for the American people and the country. He took charge and changed what had to be done, because his speech altered the government and society as we know it today; our Constitution, our executive and judicial branches, and our Supreme Court. While he did emphasize the need for a Constitution, he was not the only one responsible for it’s making.
He needed to get them to refuse to be a dog to the British and get the freedom they deserve. He used pathos as a persuasive technique in his speech to highlight fear and emotion to scare the colonists into agreeing with him. “I know of how way of judging the future but by the past.” (Henry 110) This was an effective quote because it is showing no matter what Henry is there with the colonist through this journey and that he cannot tell them exactly what is going to happen, but he can make a presumption based on what has already happened.
Post Thirty Years war left France looking for a new leadership style that would give plenty of stability. What France received was Louis XIV, who would reign under the new absolute monarchy government. During Louis’ reign, divine rights controlled rank in society. This left many confused on why they were picked to be at the bottom of society, and why the king was given his power. Jean Domat, a royally appointed juror by king Louis helped explain a better understanding of the new system of governance to the people of France in his writings.
Bush uses in his famous speech is metonymy, the substitution of some attributive or suggestive word for what is actually meant. The way Bush uses metonymy adds an appeal of imagery and relation to the topic of American perseverance: "These acts shattered steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve," (par. 3). In this remark, the "steel" of American resolve is not used to describe literal steel but more of America's strength as a country. Throughout his "9/11 Address to the Nation" speech, George W. Bush uses rhetorical devices such as ellipsis and metonymy to reinforce the impact and emotion of his words, showing how our great nation has been shocked by acts of terror, but will come together as one to
Lincoln urges the people to “strive on to finish the work we are in,” “to bind up the nation's wounds,” he is trying to get the United Sate Citizens to become one again to unite and be one strong country, showing that even after a huge war that the country can remain strong and unified and that this war will allow for a strong brotherhood in the US. Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address is significant because Lincoln offered and objective point of view. Lincoln did not speak of the unloyalty of the South nor did he praise the North. Rather, Lincoln used multiple points to show that the Unification should be the main focus of his speech not that the states should be divided because of
Even to this day, Washington’s farewell address is still one of the most celebrated speeches in American history. Washington’s farewell address warned the country against “the baneful effects of the Spirit of Party.” Washington greatly encouraged the country to focus on education and morality, and cautioned the country against sectionalism within the nation, and warned about foreign alliances. This speech is still greatly remembered and referenced because George Washington nearly predicted the future of the country in his speech, however, it is apparently obvious that the nation ignored Washington’s warnings. Washington’s presidency lasted from April 30, 1789, to March 4, 1797.
"I know of only one way in which you can be sure you have done your best to make a wise decision," he declared in a 1967 interview: That is to get all of the [responsible policymakers] with their different viewpoints in front of you, and listen to them debate. I do not believe in bringing them in one at a time, and therefore being more impressed by the most recent one you hear than the earliest ones. You must get courageous men of strong views, and let them debate with each other.” Eisenhower greatest accomplishment was his foreign policy. He believed in planning or the possibility of an event occurrence.
John F. Kennedy and his advisers were getting ready for the next presidential campaign. Kennedy had not officially stated that he was going to run for re-election in 1964, but it seemed obvious that he had the plans to run. By the end of September of 1963 he had traveled west, to over nine states to speak in less than a week. The point of this was to try to put an emphasis on conservation and natural resources, and to point out themes, like world peace, national security, and education. He was planning all this for his attempt at re-election in 1964.
Regardless of what position of leadership one may have, a leader must make decisions which may affect many people. Leadership is a place where spontaneous acts damage, rather than help the outcome of a particular task. Good leaders must think things thoroughly and come to best possible solutions for all. A great example for this type of situation would be the President of the United States. If the President were to be infuriated by another Nation’s acts, the President might at that very moment feel like his office should send troops to that nation or drop bombs.
On January 20,1961, President John F. Kennedy was sworn into office and delivered one of the most famous and remembered inaugural addresses (speech) on U.S. history. He was calling upon Americans citizens to act in support of their government and citizens from all nations all over the world to join together in peace to benefit all of mankind. Kennedy motivated Americans to defend freedom and democracy and introduced a new era of change with his tactics for presidency. In JFK’s Inaugural speech, he builds up his fellow Americans pride and calls the nation to support their country in many ways. He approaches these goals subtly though, and uses of string of rhetoric to increase the odds of a positive public reaction.
The following speech by President Kennedy’s inaugural address, 1961 was a bold assertion of his confidence and his ability to lead the nation in a new direction. Kennedy made bold foreign policy declarations. President Kennedy’s speech was amazing because the audience was attentive. During Kennedy’s speech he spoke with clear voice and a volume appropriate for the audience. He kept his eyes on the audience as he spoke.
John F. Kennedy, the president of the United States in 1961, gave an inaugural address in the cold winter during January. This was a landmark speech that was intended for the American people and both political parties in order to unite America into one again. The main purpose that the speech served was that Kennedy was trying to inspire with confidence that they can do anything if they’re united together. The main subject of the inaugural address was about World Peace for the “New Age.” Kennedy used rhetorical devices such as the antithesis, alliteration, parallelism, and metaphor in order to capture the audience’s attention.

was fond of eating and drinking, even as a child—especially eating, in those early days. I had an appetite then, also a digestion. I remember a dull-eyed, livid-complexioned gentleman coming to dine at our house once. He watched me eating for about five minutes, quite fascinated, seemingly, and then he turned to my father with, "Does your boy ever suffer from dyspepsia?"
'I never heard him complain of anything of that kind," replied my father. "Do you ever suffer from dyspepsia, Collywobbles?" (They called me Collywobbles, but it was not my real name.)
'No, pa," I answered. After which I added, "What is dyspepsia, pa?"
My livid-complexioned friend regarded me with a look of mingled amazement and envy. Then in a tone of infinite pity he slowly said: "You will know—some day."

As an example, imagine you have a Fence and you need a column every 10 feet, how would you divide the object at 10 feet intervals?
Another Example will be, a Polyline needs to be split into 5 equal parts, how to split it?
AutoCAD has lots of tools built-in, luckily it has just the right tools we need to complete our tasks MEASURE and DIVIDE commands. By default, these commands use AutoCAD points to mark lengths. However, we can set them up to place blocks of our choice, they also provide the option to align our blocks to the polyline.
Note: If you decide to use point objects, it would be great to set up the point style first. If you are going to use blocks you will need to create one first, and be sure that the block’s insertion point is right where you want it to be!
Divide an Object into a Number of SegmentsDIVIDE
The first command we are going to look at is DIVIDE, it places points or blocks Dividing our objects into equal parts. It’s important to notice that this command won’t affect the object in any way! To use it, follow the steps below:
1. Firstly, type in command line DIVIDE
2. AutoCAD will ask to select an object to divide. Here you can select the Polyline/Spline/Line object that will be divided.
3. The next step will be to Either to Enter the number of the segments or [Block].
If you want to use Block object hit “B“, if an AutoCAD Point object is enough, just enter the number of segments.
If the block option is selected, continue with steps 4, 5, 6:
4. AutoCAD will prompt to Enter name of block to insert: Type in the Block name (tip: choose easy names so you can remember them).
5. Then, at Align block with object? Choose either Yes or No.
6. And finally, at Enter number of segments: Enter the desired number.
Divide polyline into equal parts
Split an Object at specific lengthsDIVIDE
The MEASURE command is similar to DIVIDE the difference is that it places the points (blocks) at an interval of your choosing. To use it, follow the steps below:
1. Firstly, type in command line MEASURE
2. AutoCAD will ask to select an object to Measure. Here you can select the Polyline/Spline/Line object that will be divided into intervals.
3. The next step will be to Either to Specify length of segment or [Block]:
If you want to use Block object hit “B“, if an AutoCAD Point object is enough, just enter the length of the segments.
If the block option is selected, continue with steps 4, 5, 6:
4. AutoCAD will prompt to Enter name of block to insert: Type in the name of the block that will be used.
5. Then, at Align block with object? Choose either Yes or No. The same way as with DIVIDE
6. And finally, at Specify length of segment: Enter the desired Length.
Measure command using block
Break Polyline (or any Object) using LISP
MEASURE and DIVIDE work great in most cases, however, if you want to Break the Object at specific intervals or into several segments, these Built-in commands won’t be enough. This can be done very easily with one small AutoLISP. Just follow the steps below:
1. First, Download the Lisp from Here.
2. Load the LISP into the AutoCAD. (How to Use AutoLISP in AutoCAD)
3. In order to Split an Object into equal Segments type in the command line DIVCUT. To Break an Object at specific intervals type in the command line MESCUT.
4. Then AutoCAD will ask you to select an object to break.
5. Finally, after selecting an object, you either type in the number of segments, or the length of segments.
Break polyline into equal parts
Note: The Lisp can be used with Splines too, however, it will turn the Spline into a 2D Polyline with lots and lots of vertexes. How to Remove Polyline Vertexes (Remove Multiple Vertexes at Once!!)
Lisp is created by the great French guy Gilles, from cadxp.com. If you like the lisp and want to help the developer in his work feel free to contact him!
The only thing I decided to change is the prompt text because it was in French. All the explanations in Lisp info are written in French too.
Hope you the advice useful!

JPEG FYI
In my continuing struggle to keep a library of interesting reference materials that I actually may use and to keep my wife around, which implies there is room for her, I have been trying to pitch old magazines. My old mantra is “I might need them someday”. My newer one is, “is it on the web or can I archive it digitally somehow”.
Case in point: a Planet Analog article on JPEG compression. Wonderful article, well written on how it works. It exists on the Planet Analog site here, but I have worried recently that a lot of companies are going out of business, so when the company dies, so does all the material on the website. So how can I save it?
My favorite is print to a PDF using the wonderful and free PDFCreator which pretends to be a Windows printer driver and directs the output into a PDF file. You can also use it to capture projects as image files, text files, etc. Very handy. And then let an app like Copernic Desktop Search or Quicksilver find it.
In this case, though, the images were fuzzy. (At least they had images — a lot of web archived articles are missing illustrations) They were linked, too, so I checked the HTML:
<CENTER>
<A HREF="http://img.cmpnet.com/planetanalog/features/ADI_JPEG/EQ1.jpg">
<IMG SRC="http://img.cmpnet.com/planetanalog/features/ADI_JPEG/EQ1.jpg" BORDER=0 HEIGHT=86 WIDTH=350></A>
</CENTER>
So the image is displayed at some artificial scale factor, but the link displays it at the full resolution.
I saved the HTM file, edited to remove the BORDER=0 HEIGHT=86 WIDTH=350 elements, and reprinted. Nice. Images still a little fuzzy due to the PDFing, but readable. So I set the PDF compression to use ZIP instead of JPEG — lossless. Much better.
How do people live without knowing this stuff?

Why Boeing Shares Lost Altitude This Week
What happened
This week Boeing (NYSE: BA) delivered another quarter of losses and one-time charges, and investors responded by heading for the exits. Shares of the aerospace giant were down more than 12% for the week as of Thursday afternoon, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence, as investors recalculate how long this turnaround is going to take.
So what
Wall Street came into Boeing's earnings report with low expectations, and still managed to be disappointed. The company lost $2.75 per share on revenue of $14 billion, falling short of the consensus estimate for a $0.12-per-share loss on revenue of $15.83 billion.
Image source: Boeing.
Boeing has been struggling for years, first due to issues with its 737 MAX, which led to an 18-month grounding, and then due to a pandemic-induced airline industry slowdown. The 737 MAX is flying again, and the airlines appear to be on the mend, but Boeing remains sluggish. The latest quarter was impacted by about $1 billion in charges related to two military programs, the new Air Force One and the T-7A trainer.
The company is making slow but steady progress in ramping up 737 MAX production, but continues to have issues with its 787 Dreamliner and the new version of its 777, which had originally been scheduled to be flying now, was delayed until at least 2025.
The results led at least a half dozen Wall Street analysts to lower their price targets on the stock, which in turn helped fuel a new round of selling the day after earnings. Given Boeing's issues, it is hard to see a quick turnaround.
Now what
J.P. Morgan analyst Seth Seifman, in lowering the bank's price target to $190 from $235, said the path for Boeing from here is "simple in theory but more challenging in practice." Boeing needs to deliver more airplanes if it is to achieve its goal of recording positive free cash flow in 2022, but that means working out its engineering difficulties and regaining the confidence of regulators.
If you have a long enough time horizon, there is still a lot to like about Boeing shares. Over the next two decades global travel demand is expected to grow at an annualized rate of more than 3%, creating significant demand for new airframes. Boeing, as half of a duopoly with Airbus, should capture a lot of that demand.
Alas, that bull case was just as credible a year ago, and Boeing shares are down 36% in the last 365 days. The first-quarter results were a reminder that the company, though well off its lows, is still a complex mess that has a lot of work ahead to get operations running smoothly. Until Boeing can deliver a quarter that shows its house is in order and it is returning to business as usual, it could be difficult for this stock to get airborne.

Could a java Kaliedoscope applet run as a screensaver?
I really like the larger version of this kaliedoscope http://aleph0.clarku.edu/~djoyce/java/Kaleido.html I do not know anything about Java. How easy or difficult would it be to get the same code to run on my computer rather than on a webpage? The source code is given further down the page. I have WinXP. Thanks <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:35, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
What's wrong with my monitor? Does this problem have a name?
There seems to be some sort of visual artifact with my new LCD monitor. I don't know how to describe it, but there's an echo effect with everything on the screen. It's like a faint mirror image of the entire desktop appears slightly offset by a couple centimeters to the right. Actually, there's as many of five of these mirror images, each slightly offset. The problem is subtle, but noticeable. Does this problem have a name? A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 03:04, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
* What you've described sounds like ghosting. Are you using a VGA cable? If you can, use DVI to connect to your monitor instead, as interference in the VGA cable can cause this artifact. --antilivedT 03:50, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
* I've seen, at most, 30 cases of ghosting on LCD monitors. Every single one, without fail, was caused by a cheap VGA cable. Cheap cables are OK if they are very (VERY) short. The longer they get, the worse they get. Using a DVI connector (or at least a good VGA cable) will most likely fix the problem. -- k a i n a w ™ 04:49, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
* Yes, I am using a VGA cable. However, it is the same VGA cable I used with my old monitor and it did not have ghosting issues. I'll try a different cable when I get home from work. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 13:31, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
* Are you using the same resolution as you used with your old monitor? Some cables only support resolutions up to a certain figure before you get ghosting issues and so if your new monitor is a higher resolution than your old monitor (probably?) then it could still cause the problem and be related to the cable. ZX81 talk 17:07, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
* Check the simple things first: if you don't have the VGA cable correctly inserted and screwed in, you may get this effect. I had this with my PC at work. Rjwilmsi 19:07, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
* Yes, it was the cable. And yes, I was using the cable from the old monitor. Thanks! A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 23:47, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
* Thanks for coming back & telling us; it's always good to hear how things turned out and to get confirmation of the advice given here. --Tagishsimon (talk) 23:49, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
Google Maps errors
How does one report an error on Google maps (for London) to them? AFAIK, they have no feedback mechanism. The particular problem apears to be that Earl's Court Exhibition Centre is labelled Clarion Events (which for all I know may be its official name) and teh Olympia Exhibition Centre is labelled Earl's Court Exhibition Centre - which is obviously wrong. -- SGBailey (talk) 11:36, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
* Is this not it it seems you contact their data providers or use the map makerShortfatlad (talk) 12:57, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
* If it is, it is beyond my abilities to use it. There are lots of links on that page none of which appear to permit the reporting of an error. Some of which allow you to fix things - however I don't know what is right, only that what they have is wrong. -- SGBailey (talk) 13:56, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
* For most of Europe, Tele Atlas is Google's data provider, so (unfortunately) you have to report the problem directly to them and hope it gets fixed. Google uses their own data for the US and Canada, so these are the only locations where you can report problems directly to them. Xenon54 / talk / 14:16, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
* Tele Atlas also has a fancy interactive reporting mechanism, so it isn't possible for me to report this error to them. These organisations strive very hard to prevent you contacting them. -- SGBailey (talk) 16:49, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
* Why not simply use the interactive reporting mechanism? It looks like they worked very hard to simplify the submision, and subsequent handling of error reports. (Imagine the difference in efficiency between this and people from all over the world reporting errors in long, rambling prose in a few dozen languages.) But if you have to do it the difficult way for some reason, you could try the address here, on their contact page. APL (talk) 02:01, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
* From my experience (reporting a mountain marked in the middle of a river) Google maps Earth seem to ignore errors reported through their automated submission. D b f i r s 08:42, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
In the US, you right click on the item (marker, label)and there is a "Report A Problem" menu option. I would think the UK would be the same. I have a Google logon and it shows me my logon on the top when I am on Google. I would suspect you have to be logged in to report the problem. BTW - I reported some errors last week that have not been changed yet. --Wonderley (talk) 16:31, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
* Um did you really expect them to fix an error in a week? Nil Einne (talk) 23:47, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
* Back in the day when Google had an error feedback feature, I told them about a street mistake near my house. Ten--count them--ten years later it was fixed. I highly doubt my email had anything to do with it. One of the main problems with this is that no organization that manages and published geographic data is going to accept the hearsay of some random yahoo without checking up on it. In my case0--and many others--checking up on it had to be done in person in the field, as dense trees obscured the (non-existent) road segment. Of course everyone wants accurate geodata, but really, do you want mapping apps to adjust their data based on random complaints from unknown users? Give it ten years. Pfly (talk) 10:08, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
* No, but it is very simple to check whether a mountain has moved to the middle of a river! ( See above, reported several times, beginning about five years ago! ) D b f i r s 15:36, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
* ... (later) ... Apologies, it is GoogleEarth that has a mountain in the middle of a river, not Googlemaps. D b f i r s 09:11, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
Bluetooth chaining
I have to disconnect my Bluetooth headphones from my laptop to connect them to my Samsung Vice phone (model SCH-R561) and vice-versa. I think a solution to this problem would be if whenever the phone and headphones were linked, the phone told my laptop that *it* was a headset, and passed through the laptop's sound output in addition to its own (except during a call and while playing an alert, when it would ignore the laptop's output). Can I do this with a J2ME app or by installing alternative firmware on the phone? I'm willing to void the warranty. Neon Merlin 17:08, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
Handle unrecognized SSL issuers better in Firefox
A lot of sites seem to issue their own SSL certificates, use expired SSL certificates, or use single-domain certificates when they should be using wildcard certificates. It takes a lot of clicking to get past Firefox's warning about this. Can I set up Firefox to, when the problem with the certificate is one of these, simply display a warning message above the page and present it as non-secure? (In such cases, I'd ideally like JavaScript and applets to be initially disabled, and for Firefox to refuse to send pre-existing cookies, load saved passwords into forms, or submit forms, until I'd confirmed the exception.)

Remote DDoS protection is nothing new, but it may be a term you are not yet familiar with. The purpose of remote DDoS protection is to stop DDoS attacks from taking your site offline without having to change your hosting. DDoS attacks plague website owners, most notably businesses in the financial sector.
DDoS attacks are the most common at the network (layer 3) or transport (layer 4) layers, called volumetric attacks. Attacks on layer 6 (presentation) and layer 7 (application) are considered more sophisticated: they are often low and slow, but the results can be just as devastating. A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt normal traffic to a web property. Learn about DDoS attacks and DDoS protection. What is DDoS and how does it work? Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks seek the same goal as DoS – to make the target server, service or network deny legitimate traffic. However, DDoS attacks are more powerful as they use multiple computers/devices. From a high level, a DDoS attack is like a traffic jam clogging up with highway, preventing regular traffic from arriving at its desired destination. How does a DDoS attack work? A DDoS attack requires an attacker to gain control of a network of online machines in order to carry out an attack. Aug 17, 2015 · For those who are new to this term, in simple works, a DDoS attack is an attempt to make an online service/website unavailable by flooding it with tons of traffic from different sources. Distributed Denial of Service Attacks - A distributed denial of service attack works to shut down a particular web server. Find out how a DDoS attack works and how DDoS attacks are executed.

Application Server

A potential client was asking which application server a Mendix application is deployed on locally and which application servers can a Mendix application run off of? Can it, for example, be deployed to Glassfish, Tomcat or Jboss?
asked

No, we have tried to, in 2008-2009, as part of 2.4, but it became a very complex and painful process, and in the end the idea was abandoned. It's as difficult as deploying Jboss into Tomcat, or running Glassfish as an application in Websphere.
Mendix is not a J2EE application, it does not use Servlets and EJBs etc. Mendix is an application server (M2EE, with a wink to Java EE ;) ) for running Mendix applications.

Mendix can run stand-alone, it doesn't need an application server. The Mendix Business Server contains a built-in Jetty webserver to handle incoming requests.

Apollo 11 (album)
Apollo 11 is a soundtrack album recorded by American electronic musician Adam Young. It is the first of eleven Scores Young has released. It was released independently via Sky Harbor on February 1, 2016. The album was also released for a free download on his website.
Background and composition
On December 18, 2015, Young announced that he would focus on a new project titled "Adam Young Scores". During each month of 2016, he composed and recorded a score based on a subject of his choice, which is something he had wanted to accomplish for a long time. He based the first score off the Apollo 11 mission and released the record on February 1. Young stated that the space flight grabbed his imagination, when asked about why he created the score. The score is Young's interpretation of what happened in July 1969 and the types of emotions he wanted to capture with music.
Artwork
The artwork was created by James R. Eads. Eads, who wasn't given a lot of direction outside of a couple of reference images that inspired Young while creating the score, stated he was given "a lot of freedom" while creating the artwork of Apollo 11.
Critical reception
Apollo 11 was met with positive reviews from music critics. Joy Attmore of Cross Rhythms gave a positive review stating, "As soon as you press play on this record characters are brought to life and worlds are formed." She praised the first track, "Launch" for "rocketing the listener off into an adventure and world of sound led by the string section and brought to life by a wall of drums and brass." She described the third track, "CSM-LM Docking" as the "highlight" point of the album for its "repetitive chord structure to bring a driving energy to this track and a sense of new discovery."
Christopher Smith of Jesus Freak Hideout also gave a positive review remarking, "The atmospheres Young creates with full orchestra sounds and electric guitars explore the feelings of wonder and awe one might associate with such monumental moments for this mission – the excitement of the launch, the intensity of the lunar landing, the gentleness of Neil Armstrong's famous first step." He called the album a "moving piece of art that is sure to put you in a good mood."

A few Ghidra tips for IDA users, part 1 - the decompiler/unreachable code
Published: 2019-04-08
Last Updated: 2019-04-08 21:37:33 UTC
by Jim Clausing (Version: 1)
0 comment(s)
As I continue to explore NSA's new reversing tool, Ghidra, one of the features that I heard about and was excited to see in action was the decompiler. So, in this entry in the series, I'll start to delve into that some. In particular, I'll look at one particular option that turned out to be more useful than I originally thought, though I'm still not entirely certain how I'll use it going forward. I've long been a user of the Hex-Rays decompiler at $dayjob and I really like it, but I can't afford it for use in my personal/Storm Center research and we don't use it in FOR610, so I was really looking forward to giving the Ghidra one a try. I have to say, so far, I'm pretty impressed. As I explain to my FOR610 students, decompiling is a hard problem. A lot of context is lost during optimization, so except for very simple programs you shouldn't expect the decompiler to give you C code that looks like the original source. Having said that, for someone like me who has been programming on-and-off for a very long time, I can usually grasp the purpose of a function much more quickly in a (pseudo-)high level language than I can in assembler. One place decompiling is extremely useful for, is showing the parameters to function calls (especially Windows API calls) in a way that isn't as tedious (and potentially error prone) as scrolling up and counting the PUSH instructions (cdecl or stdcall) or trying to trace the contents of certain registers (fastcall). More on that in my next installment.
The way the user interface in the Ghidra CodeBrowser works by default, in the center of the screen you have the disassembler window and immediately to the right of that is the decompiler window. When you are looking at code within a function in the disassembler, you'll see the corresponding decompiled code right next to it. If you click on an instruction in one, it highlights the corresponding code in the other in yellow. Very nice. But this also led to some confusion on one of the first samples I looked at in Ghidra.
In my normal workflow in IDA, I'll often begin by looking at the imports. In IDA, that means going to the imports tab where all of the imports are listed together. In Ghidra, the imports are all listed under the DLL from which they are imported. If I want to search through all of them, that requires clicking the + next to 'Imports' and then the + next to each of the DLLs. That is kind of a pain, but doable. If I have a particular API call that I want to look at (perhaps based on behavioral analysis), you can type that in the Filter box, just like you can type the API call name in the IDA imports window, so that's good. So when I took one of the samples we examine in FOR610 and examined it in Ghidra, I looked for one of the API calls (in this case, RegOpenKeyExA), and just like in IDA, I right-clicked on the name and looked for references (I'm half-tempted to change the key binding so that I can use 'x' just like in IDA, rather than the 'ctrl-shift-F' that is the Ghidra default, since I'm so used to it, but maybe I'll adjust). I clicked on one of the calls and I see the call in the disassembler window, but when I look over at the decompiler window, I can't find it. I try clicking on other instructions around the call and nothing is getting highlighted in the decompiler window. What the ****?
So, while I was poking around at the options, I happened across 'Eliminate unreachable code' as an option for decompiler analysis.
Unchecking that box and now I could see the API call I was looking for.
As I mentioned above, I don't know exactly how I'll use this going forward. If I leave it unchecked then the code simply doesn't show up in the decompiler window, but it still shows up in the disassembler, so that is a disconnect. But it also makes it clear that this is code I don't need to waste too much time analyzing because the decompilation process concluded that the code was unreachable. In a normal program, the programmer would probably instruct the optimizer to remove dead (unreachable) code, but malware authors are going to make our jobs as analysts harder by including code like this to waste our time. I'm not sure if the complete absence of the code in the decompiler window will help me more or whether seeing a big block of code enclosed in if (false) { ... } will be the more useful display. I guess we'll see as I spend more time playing with Ghidra. For now, I'm leaving it unchecked.
Again, if you have any tips or thoughts, feel free to e-mail me (see below), or use our contact page, or comment below.

Overview
Aerobatic is a specialized platform for efficient delivery of static webpages and website assets. We take care of the configuration details for you that provide the best balance of performance and maintainability. Stop fiddling with CDNs and web server configs and focus on coding great front-end experiences.
Performance
Aerobatic utilizes a multi-layered global CDN so no matter where in the world your website visitors come from, the request is routed to the lowest latency servers. Website requests are initially routed to the optimal AWS CloudFront edge node (located throughout the world). Many assets such as images, JavaScripts, stylesheets, etc. are delivered directly from CloudFront. Your webpage requests are passed along to the lowest latency Aerobatic origin server (currently Oregon or Frankfurt, Germany with plans to expand to other regions). All resources are served with optimal caching headers by default.
CDN World Map
Our friends at Dotcom Monitor provide a great free webpage speed test that allows you to easily measure your website perormance from 25 different physical locations around the globe. This is a great way to visualize the real-world impact of serving website assets from a nearby CDN node vs. a central origin server.
Security
All Aerobatic sites are served exclusively via SSL. All http:// requests are 301 redirected at the CDN edge to the https:// equivalent. Custom domains (included in Pro Plan) include a wildcard auto-renewing SSL certificate — set it once and never worry about certs again.
For additional security you can declare the http-headers plugin in your aerobatic.yml to append OWASP recommended headers to your HTTP responses.
Website user authentication
You have two options for locking down all or parts of your website to authenticated users only:
1. password-protect plugin - Simple password that you distribute to people that need access.
2. auth0 plugin - Full featured identity management that allows signups and individual user accounts powered by Auth0.
How authentication works
Both the password-protect and auth0 plugins utilize a shared cookie based security mechanism to ensure that only authenticated users can access webpage urls from the protected section of the site.
• Upon successful login credentials being submitted, a json web token (JWT) is generated with a crypto token that is only known to the Aerobatic backend.
• This JWT is set as the value of the aerobatic-auth cookie. This cookie is set with the HttpOnly and Secure flags, so it is inaccessible to client-side JavaScript and is only transmitted by the browser for https connections.
• The expiration date of the cookie can be controlled via the cookieExpiresMinutes plugin option. If no value is specified the default behavior is a session cookie that expires when the browser tab is closed. Setting to an explicit value is useful if you want logged in sessions to persist across browser sessions.
• When an inbound request is made to a URL protected by one of the auth plugins, the server code grabs the value of the aerobatic-auth cookie. If the cookie is missing, the user is redirected to the login page. If the cookie is present, it is decrypted with the secure token and the contents are verified to ensure it has not been tampered with. If everything checks out, the requested webpage is returned.
• The aerobatic-auth cookie is validated at the CDN edge nodes. This allows fast and secure delivery of authenticated pages directly from the network edge.
• The same cookie validation process happens for both human generated requests and bots. So there’s no way for crawlers to obtain access to your protected pages.
Custom 404 page
Custom 404 error pages are specified with the custom-errors plugin.
plugins:
- name: custom-errors
options:
errors:
404: errors/404.html
Web logs
You can follow your web logs in near real-time using the either the aero logs command or in the web control panel. In addition to the usual web log fields such as URL, method, response code, etc. we also include the physical location of the end user by geo-location of their IP address.
Site scanner
The site scanner crawls and examines the content of your website after each deployment. Currently the only function of the scanner is to build the search index for the keyword-search plugin, but it has been designed to offer additional site services for catching broken links and performing SEO audits. See the site-scanner configuration for further details.
Device preview
You can tack on a __preview={laptop|desktop|phone|tablet} to any Aerobatic website URL to load it in a special viewer that simulates how the site looks on different device types. The value of the __preview querystring parameter determines the default selected device. For example, here is the URL to preview aerobatic.com on a phone: https://www.aerobatic.com/?__preview=phone. This is a handy way to share a URL with stakeholders so they can get a sense for how the site looks on different devices without having to actually load it on a phone, a tablet, etc.

How long before glue stitches comes off?
What do you do when surgical glue comes off?
You need to wait for the skin under the tape to cycle through and the tape will fall off by itself. This generally takes 3-4 weeks. As the edges/ends fall off, just trim the tape close to your skin with some small sharp scissors. Cover the ‘open’ scar with Micropore paper tape to replace the Prineo.
How long do liquid stitches last?
Caring for your sealed cut
Although it depends on the type of liquid stitches used and the depth of the wound, the seal typically lasts between 5 and 10 days. Once the liquid stitches have been properly dried: Leave it in place until it sloughs off. Don’t scratch or pick at it.
How long do you have to keep a glued wound dry?
Although the glue is waterproof, try to keep the wound dry for about 5 days. The glue usually peels off in five – 10 days in any case. For longer or larger skin cuts, glue can be used together with stitches to seal the wound.
IT\'S FUN: Frequent question: What is loop yarn made of?
Is glue as good as stitches?
Several recent studies involving children and adults show that certain wounds closed with glue heal just as well as those closed with stitches, and that the cosmetic results up to a year later are comparable.
What to do if dermabond comes off too early?
After the Dermabond has fallen off, you may apply lotions to the healed skin. You may use lotions such as aloe vera, shea butter, cocoa butter, vitamin E oil or over-the-counter scar-reducing creams. Before going outdoors, use a sunblock lotion with an SPF of 15 or higher.
Can I shower with surgical glue?
Self-care:
You can shower 24 hours after the skin adhesive is applied. Lightly pat your wound dry after you shower. Do not soak your wound in water, such as in a bath or hot tub. Do not scrub your wound or pick at the adhesive.
Is it OK to peel off surgical glue?
If the DermaBond begins to peel do not peel it off or pick at it. Please allow it to fall off naturally. This can take up to 2 weeks.
When do doctors use glue instead of stitches?
Adhesive Tape
If it gets loose, the wound can break open. Your doctor may use adhesive tape if you have a minor cut, laceration, or incision (low-tension wound). They might also use it during surgery if you have buried or absorbable skin sutures (stitches). The strips usually fall off by themselves in about 10 days.
How do you treat liquid stitches?
Topic Overview
1. Leave the skin adhesive on your skin until it falls off—usually 5 to 10 days after it was applied.
2. Do not scratch or pick at the adhesive. …
3. Follow your doctor’s instruction on keeping the wound and skin adhesive dry. …
4. If your doctor has applied a bandage over the wound, keep it clean and dry.
IT\'S FUN: Quick Answer: How do you break yarn and draw through stitches?
Can you put a bandage over skin glue?
When the adhesive dries, it forms a film that holds the edges of the wound together. Skin adhesives are sometimes called “liquid stitches.” Bandages are not typically placed over a wound closed with adhesive glue because the glue acts like a dressing in and of itself.
What to do after dermabond falls off?
After the Dermabond has fallen off, you may apply lotions to the healed skin. You may use lotions such as aloe vera, shea butter, cocoa butter, vitamin E oil or an over-the-counter scar-reducing cream. Before going outdoors, use sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher.
Should you leave stitches uncovered?
Protect the stitches.
You may need to cover your stitches with a bandage for 24 to 48 hours, or as directed. Do not bump or hit the suture area. This could open the wound. Do not trim or shorten the ends of your stitches.

Priesthood in the middle ages was hereditary, so that the priest’s son would take over the church when his father died. Women were not permitted to become priests. … Other priests and bishops did not mind paying the fine that the Church had made obligatory if they chose to marry.
How did you become a priest in the Middle Ages?
You usually needed approval by a bishop, and they were only likely to appoint you if you had sufficient education and (often) political connections. Younger sons were often trained to be clergy, and Bishops benefitted politically by granting parishes to the noble sons of local rulers.
How is a priest chosen?
Catholic priests are ordained by bishops through the sacrament of holy orders. The Catholic Church claims that Catholic bishops were ordained in an unbroken line of apostolic succession back to the Twelve Apostles depicted in the Catholic Bible.
Who could become priests in medieval European church?
Women were not permitted to become priests. Compared to the village priest and the local parishioners, a parish priest would be more educated, but illiterate nevertheless. In the middle ages, society was divided into three orders. These included those who prayed, those who fought, and those who worked.
What does a priest do in the Middle Ages?
A priest had many different roles in the medieval times. They presided over baptisms and weddings they also were in charge of public church events as well as performing the rites of death. They were noble people that did good things for the town, and the town respected Christianity in return.
Could a peasant become a priest?
Medieval peasants could absolutely join the clergy. High-level ecclesiastical positions – bishops, abbots/abbesses of important monasteries (Cluny), etc. – were typically reserved for elites, but were not necessarily exclusive to them.
Why did the Roman Catholic Church unify people in the Middle Ages?
The Catholic Church unified Europe socially by continuing masses, holding baptisms and weddings, and caring for the sick. The Catholic Church unified Europe politically by acting as a unifying “leader” for Christians. At the time it was a place people could come to for help they needed and the Church would be there.
Do you have to be a virgin to be a priest?
In Latin Church Catholicism and in some Eastern Catholic Churches, most priests are celibate men. Exceptions are admitted, with there being several Catholic priests who were received into the Catholic Church from the Lutheran Church, Anglican Communion and other Protestant faiths.
Can a sinner become a priest?
Nope. If you have ever committed a sin then you cannot be a priest. Everyone know that priests are without sin!
What comes after a priest?
The sacrament of holy orders in the Catholic Church includes three orders: bishop, priest, and deacon.
Why the medieval church was so powerful?
The Catholic Church became very rich and powerful during the Middle Ages. … Because the church was considered independent, they did not have to pay the king any tax for their land. Leaders of the church became rich and powerful. Many nobles became leaders such as abbots or bishops in the church.
How often did people go to church Middle Ages?
Church in Daily Life. The lives of the people of the Middle Ages revolved around the Church. People, especially women, were known to attend church three to five times daily for prayer and at least once a week for services, confession, and acts of contrition for repentance.
Why did Christianity spread in the Middle Ages?
The Christianity that was spread across Europe during the middle ages was based on the scriptures that recounted the life of the Christ and his disciples. The rise of Christianity during the Roman Empire was seen as a threat against the Empire. … The Christian Church had its own lands, laws and taxes.
Is Purgatory Catholic or Protestant?
Different Christian beliefs
Christians believe that death is not the end, as demonstrated by belief in the resurrection of Jesus. However there are some key differences between the denominations : Protestants do not believe in Purgatory. Some Protestants believe there is no such place as Hell, only levels of Heaven.
Which best describes the homes in which peasants lived?
Which best describes the homes in which peasants lived? The homes housed both people and animals. What brought an end to the system of serf labor?

Prevent production downtime with hyperconvergence
• Article
• hyperconvergence
• virtualization
Virtualization has come a long way over the years and has become the standard in production systems. Protecting virtualization systems and, by extension, the production system, requires a robust network architecture capable of overcoming all emergency situations like power outages, fires or equipment failures.
Hyperconvergence is a great way to ensure the resilience needed to protect virtualization and storage systems in the production system.
1. How does hyperconvergence work?
Hyperconvergence is a simple principle:
• Software is installed on all virtualization hypervisors.
• This software then enables resources from all these servers to be “combined” into a single logical whole.
• Then, all these server resources can be managed from a central point.
• Hyperconvergence delivers powerful new options for virtualization environments, better redundancy and improved performance.
Hyperconvergence features and benefits
While hyperconvergence features differ depending on the product, the following list of features is a market standard:
• One of the most important features of hyperconvergence is data deduplication, which allows multiple copies of the same virtual machine to be distributed across multiple servers at all times. These copies are made in real time and are therefore identical to the source virtual machine.
In a hyperconverged virtualization environment, a number of disks or servers can be lost without affecting virtual machines and data, which is perfect for highly sensitive environments.
You can set the desired number of copies for each virtual machine as long as you have the necessary number of servers. If less critical machines do not require copies, but critical machines require two copies, these parameters can easily be configured.
If a server breaks down, one of the copies of some virtual machines can go missing. If the hyperconvergence system includes more than two virtualization servers, the software then automatically starts a process to copy data on the affected server by targeting a different server. The system is designed to have the desired number of copies and a high degree of redundancy at all times. For some hyperconvergence software applications, an acceptable period of “non-compliance” can be set using a redundancy policy to avoid unnecessary copying of files during short or planned downtimes.
• Resources are easily scalable (RAM, CPU, disk). For example, simply add a hard disk to a server and the additional space becomes available for the entire storage pool.
• If existing servers no longer have slots to insert a hard disk, RAM or CPU, there is no need to get rid of old servers or replace components, you can also add a server to a hyperconvergence environment. This server then provides additional resources AND redundancy. Yay for options!
• Since you can always add components or servers to the environment, you avoid falling into the trap of overprovisioning for fear of running out of resources.
• Unlike the SAN server options, storage is connected directly to the server that acts as a hypervisor, providing better performance. In fact, SAN storage is not built with an evolutionary philosophy and usually has a single point of failure.
• Data is compressed to reduce the network load.
Setting up hyperconvergence
You must apply certain best practices when choosing hyperconvergence, as well as certain network architecture requirements. BBA’s telecommunications team can help you create a robust hyperconvergence architecture. Here are some basic rules to consider when setting up a hyperconverged system:
• You must have at least three servers, including:
Two or more resource servers where the hard disks, RAM and processors used in the hyperconverged environment will be located
A server that will act as a witness: this server does not have many resources, as its sole purpose is to monitor the health of the resource servers and avoid the so-called “split brain” scenario.
• Servers must be placed in different locations, so they are not all affected by natural disasters or fires at once. Fibre optic cables between buildings must be redundant and ideally be run through different paths.
• The more servers there are, the more redundancy there is for virtual machines.
• Network links must be efficient to ensure hyperconverged systems run smoothly.
As with any IT solution, a backup system must also be in place to take over in case an issue arises with the hyperconverged system. Although this type of system is highly reliable, you should always consider all possible emergency situations, so you are prepared for any eventuality.

Cluster metrics integration
CAST AI delivers detailed metrics on your cluster utilization so that you can better understand your cloud infrastructure and ultimately reduce its cost. All metrics are scrapable, so you can scrape the data using Prometheus API and visualize it in Grafana or another tool of your choice.
As a result, you can draw on the cluster utilization and cost stats and include them effortlessly in your team’s wider cloud monitoring and reporting efforts.
This guide outlines the metrics available in CAST AI and describes the process of exporting them to Prometheus and Grafana step by step.
How to visualize CAST AI metrics in Prometheus and Grafana
Why use CAST AI with Prometheus and Grafana
The combination of Prometheus and Grafana has become a common choice for DevOps and CloudOps teams, and this is for a reason.
The first provides a powerful querying language and gathers rich metrics, while the latter transforms these into meaningful visualizations. Both Prometheus and Grafana are compatible with most data source types.
How to connect CAST AI with Prometheus and Grafana
1. Create your CAST AI API key
Enter your cluster in the CAST AI platform, click the API tab in the top menu, and generate a one-time token.
You’ll need to specify your key name and choose between a read-only or full access. Then, copy and paste it into the respective place in the above code and execute.
You can also use this key to access CAST AI API in tools like Swagger UI.
2. Call the CAST AI API
Open your Prometheus scraper config in your favorite tool and add scraping for CAST AI metrics. Our API provides separate end-points for scraping of cluster, node, workload and allocation group level metrics. Here is an example how to configure scraping all of them:
scrape_configs:
- job_name: 'castai_cluster_metrics'
scrape_interval: 15s
scheme: https
static_configs:
- targets: ['api.cast.ai']
metrics_path: '/v1/metrics/prom'
authorization:
type: 'Token'
credentials: '{apiKey}'
- job_name: 'castai_node_template_metrics'
scrape_interval: 1m
scheme: https
static_configs:
- targets: ['api.cast.ai']
metrics_path: '/v1/metrics/nodes'
authorization:
type: 'Token'
credentials: '{apiKey}'
- job_name: 'castai_workload_metrics'
scrape_interval: 15s
scheme: https
static_configs:
- targets: ['api.cast.ai']
metrics_path: 'v1/metrics/workloads'
authorization:
type: 'Token'
credentials: '{apiKey}'
- job_name: 'castai_allocation_group_metrics'
scrape_interval: 15s
scheme: https
static_configs:
- targets: ['api.cast.ai']
metrics_path: 'v1/metrics/allocation-groups'
authorization:
type: 'Token'
credentials: '{apiKey}'
Please replace {apiKey} with the token created in step 1.
To limit amount of returned data, Node, Workload and Allocation group metric end-points support filtering by clusterID, see API reference.
3. Specify your data source in Grafana
Open Grafana, head to the Configuration tab, and click on Data Sources.
When you select the Add data source option, you’ll see a list of all supported data sources. From here, choose Prometheus and insert all required details, including HTTP, Auth, and more.
After you specify your data source, you can go to Explore, select your data source by name, and start typing the metric name for autocompleting.
4. Create a dashboard in Grafana
Click on the Dashboards tab in Grafana’s main menu and select the Browse option. That’s where you’ll see the button to start a new dashboard. Give it a meaningful name and set the main options.
For more information you can refer to Grafana’s documentation, you can also check this list of best practices for creating dashboards.
Or you can start by importing Example dashboard JSON provided below.
5. Add and format your metrics
Now it’s time to start populating your dashboard with data.
Add a new panel and scroll down to its bottom to ensure that the data source is set to Prometheus. Then, start typing the name of the required metric in the metric browser box, and it will appear on the screen.
Common choices of metrics include the requested vs. provisioned CPUs and memory, and the monthly cost of your cluster. You can also expand the metrics presented in your dashboard by importing data in JSON files.
Use the panel on the right to specify your stat title, legend, visualization styles, and other values to help you ensure the report makes the most sense to your team.
You can then expand your dashboard with additional features, including annotations and alerts.
Example Grafana dashboard
Here’s an example dashboard displaying CAST AI data.
You can get the code here .

Low-power attitude determination for magnetometry planetary missions
Research output: Book/ReportPh.D. thesis
801 Downloads (Pure)
Abstract
This work covers the subject of orientation or attitude in space and on the surface of a planet. Different attitude sensor technologies have been investigated with emphasis on very low power consumption and mass. In addition robust methods for attitude determination have been covered again with emphasis on the limited budget onboard very small satellites.
A true low-power attitude sensor using the Anisotropic Magneto Resistor effect have been designed to late prototype state. Two prototypes of the AMR magnetometer have been built. One of the prototypes has an analog output and the second prototype has a digital output similar to that of the VFM fluxgate magnetometer.
Four different sensors have been tested and the most suitable sensor has been selected for the AMR magnetometer. The AMR magnetometer has been tested with respect to range, linearity,sensitivity, noise and bandwidth. A scalar calibration has been performed on both of the prototypes of the AMR magnetometer with very good overall result.
Different attitude representations such as orthogonal matrices, Euler angles and quaternions are presented. Also methods for attitude determination of a sensor platform with more than one vector instrument are presented. To achieve the highest possible accuracy the process of intercalibration of the sensor platform is also covered. Intercalibration in this respect means the determination of the relative attitude between the vector instruments in question.
The magnetic survey of the region between the North Pole and northern Greenland was used as a case. The sensor platform for the magnetic survey consists of a vector magnetometer and a vector accelerometer. The two instruments were individually calibrated followed by Intercalibration of the sensor platform.
The data collected during the airborne magnetic survey was used to determine the attitude of the sensor platform. With the attitude of the vector magnetometer known, maps of the magnetic anomalies were made with the vector information still intact. The maps of the magnetic anomalies using vector data showed a greater level of details than the maps obtained using only scalar data.

C++ exercises and solutions: add new record to list
C++ structure exercise: add new record to list
Step 3: Defining the add_rec(struct student[] st, int& itemcount) function to add a new record to the the array of student objects. This method takes two arguments. The first argument is the array of student objects(st) and the second argument is the number of items in the array. This function firstly checks the new record(using the search function that is defined in the next step) before it is allowed to be appended to the array to avoid duplicate records. When the new item is added the value of itemcount variable increases by 1 that means the number of records in the list increases.
void add_rec(struct student st[],int& itemcount){

Term Aggregation: Count Duplicates
#1
Hello,
my TA pushes following doc to my elasticsearch:
I want to visualize the count of all doc.test_cases[''].verdict terms.
The visualisation omits duplicate verdicts. Got the following result:
passed: 1 skipped: 1 failed: 1
My expected result is:
passed: 2 skipped: 1 failed: 1
What can i do here, is my doc pushed to elasticsearch incorrect?

Hello Cebor,
Could you post a screenshot of the visualization you've produced along with your field selections on the side?
Thanks,
Aaron
#3
Here it is.
#4
Is it possible, that the problem is in the mapping? "verdict" is defined as follows:
"verdict": {
"type": "text",
"fields": {
"keyword": {
"type": "keyword",
"ignore_above": 256
}
}
}
(Aaron Caldwell) #5
Nothing's jumping out at me. I thought maybe you were doing a unique count on the terms agg but that's not the case. Just to be sure, can you run GET <your index name>/_search from the dev tools and make sure both documents are in the results?
#6
Is there a Sum of Qty rather than count of items under the metrics Field?
#7
"GET <your index name>/_search" shows me all the data correctly, i think the problem is with the array, should be declared as nested.
See: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/nested.html
But nested datatypes are not visualizable, so my solution for now is to push each testcase as single entry to my index.

Understanding Systolic and Diastolic
Understanding Systolic and Diastolic blood pressure is important. Do you wonder what the top and bottom blood pressure number means? Doctors call them systolic and diastolic. Systolic is the top number, while diastolic is the bottom.
When your heart beats, it pumps blood through your blood vessels, which carry blood to every part of your body. Blood pressure is simply the force that blood exerts on the walls of the blood vessels. The events related to the flow of blood that occurs from one heartbeat to the next is called the cardiac cycle. Any problem in the cardiac cycle can cause high or low blood pressure.
So what does the systolic blood pressure number mean?
Systolic blood pressure is the amount of pressure that blood exerts on the arteries and the vessels while the heart is beating. A normal systolic blood pressure is below 120. Systolic blood pressure between 120 and 139 means you have prehypertension or borderline high blood pressure. A systolic blood pressure above 140 means you have hypertension or high blood pressure, which means you are at a risk of loping heart disease.
What does the diastolic blood pressure number mean?
Diastolic blood pressure is simply the pressure that blood exerts on the walls of the arteries in between heart beats and when the heart is relaxed. A normal diastolic blood pressure is less than 80. A diastolic blood pressure between 80 and 89 indicates prehypertension, and a diastolic blood pressure above 90 is considered to be hypertension or high blood pressure, which means you are at risk of heart disease. While diastolic blood pressure is considered important in monitoring blood pressure of younger individuals, as the person’s age increases so does the importance of systolic blood pressure.
How often should you get your blood pressure checked?
If you have normal blood pressure (i.e., less than 120/80) you should get it checked every 2-3 years.
If your blood pressure is borderline high (i.e., systolic blood pressure between 120 and 139 or diastolic between 80 and 89) you should check your blood pressure at least every year or 6 months.
If you’re suffering from hypertension (i.e., systolic blood pressure above 140 or diastolic above 90) then you must visit our healthcare center, FRONTLINE ER in Richmond, Texas.
If you’re concerned about your blood pressure you can always visit FRONTLINE ER at any time.
It is crucial for you to monitor your blood pressure regularly, especially if you have symptoms such as:
• frequent headaches
• blurred vision
• dizziness
• shortness of breath
You must also keep in mind that most people suffering from hypertension have no symptoms at all, which is why it is also known as the silent killer.
FRONTLINE ER in Richmond, Texas is always here to take care of people. If you’re suffering from hypertension or borderline hypertension we recommend you call FRONTLINE ER at [geolifycontent id=”26138″] to access our quality service as fast as possible.

Northern Zhou Xiangxi was a two player board game played during the Northern Zhou Dynasty, at the end of the Northern and Southern dynasties period in China. Due to its name (象), it is often mistaken for a chess-like game or as the predecessor of Xiangqi, yet there were many different games in Chinese history which bore similar names before the advent of Xianqi as it is know today during the Song dynasty. Scholars have denied that the game resembled chess. Based on the rules as recorded in the surviving chapter of Emperor Wu 's Xiang Jing, it was instead a racing game.
History
The game was first described in the Xiang Jing, compiled by Emperor Wu and his ministers. By the early Tang Dynasty, no one could interpret the game and it was lost.
Rules
The rules of Xiangxi are were not described clearly, but are recorded in poems. It was played on a board resembling the one used in the game of Chupu (樗蒲)

Micro Focus says most of sales shortfall will drop through to earnings
LONDON (Reuters) - Micro Focus Intl (MCRO.L) said it had little scope to mitigate a cut in its revenue guidance before its Oct. 31 year-end as its cost cutting programs were already well advanced, meaning most of the shortfall would fall through to the core earnings line. Chief Executive Stephen Murdoch said it had seen deals in its pipeline slip in the last six weeks, and it was not certain it could increase the run rate to make its full-year guidance. “We had a very weak close to July; we didn’t lose business but it slipped,” he said. “We still have a pipeline that could put us in original range, but we don’t feel it is credible that we could close sufficient of that.” Reporting by Paul Sandle; editing by Kate Holton

Would become:
class foo(Command):
__doc__ = _('The foo command takes out the garbage.')
But which docstrings need to be marked for translation? The makeapi
tool knows how to iterate over every command in our public API. It was
extended to validate every command's documentation and report if any
documentation is missing or not marked for translation. That
information was then used to identify each docstring in the code which
needed to be transformed.
Read through whole patch. This is one of rare cases where gettext's use
of original text as translation id isn't helpful from both performance
(longer calculation of Id hash during run-time) and maintenance. Looks
like we have to live with that if Transifex is unable to work with
indirected translation ids -- that would mean authoritative original
text would be in 'en' translation, not as original translation id.
If that can't be solved, I'm fine with this approach.
In summary what this patch does is:
* Remove the use of pygettext (modification to install/po/Makefile.in)
ACK
* Replace every docstring with an explicit assignment to __doc__ where
the rhs of the assignment is an i18n marking function.
ACK
* Single line docstrings appearing in multi-line string literals
(e.g. ''' or """) were replaced with single line string literals
because the multi-line literals were introducing unnecessary
whitespace and newlines in the string extracted for translation. For
example:
ACK
* Import statements were moved from below the docstring to above
it. This was necessary because the i18n markers are imported
functions and must be available before the the doc is
parsed. Technically only the import of the i18n markers had to
appear before the doc but stylistically it's better to keep all the
imports together.
ACK
* It was observed during the docstring editing process that the
command documentation was inconsistent with respect to the use of
periods to terminate a sentence. Some doc had a trailing period,
others didn't. Consistency was enforced by adding a period to end of
every docstring if one was missing.
ACK.
ACK from me too, pushed to master and ipa-2-1
I discovered some issues with the Spanish translation while testing this and opened a ticket to investigate. It isn't related to these changes.

Talk:Farragut-class destroyer (1958)
Coontz class
Should Coontz class redirect to here? See USS_Luce. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mysterd429 (talk • contribs) 05:02, 19 December 2005.
* Thats hard to say. Since all USN classes are named after the first memeber of that class and according to my sources the Farragut itself was launched 1st, but was commissioned six months after the Coontz was commissioned . So I'm not sure which class title these ships should hold, but I'm confident they are refering to the same vessels. I wonder what other's think should be done. -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 05:45, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
* Thanks for the fast reply. I really have no idea about the Navy, but noticed possible room for improvement.
* Just to be redundantly clear, I noticed that Coontz class doesn't have a page, but the Farragut class destroyer (1958) defines the Farragut class as being being AKA Coontz class. The entry on the USS Luce (DDG-38) states that the Luce (it / she / whichever pronoun) is a Coontz class ship, but the entry has the Farragut Farragut class destroyer (1958) category. The USS_Coontz_(DDG-40) entry is listed as Farragut category, but the ship is not described as such in the entry.
* Incidentally, I only noticed this because Bethlehem Steel Corporation wasn't a link on the USS Farragut's entry, so I decided to see what the other ships' pages said. I don't want to edit in a category I don't know much about, but if you think Beth Steel should be a link, I'll linkify it. Thanks! Don 19:16, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
* I have redirected Coontz class and Coontz class destroyer to Farragut class destroyer (1958). They may as well since they are refering to the same class of ships. I have also taken the time to update USS Luce (DDG-38) so that it now includes an updated table and it's history up until 1969. (which is about as far as the DANFS will take it.) Oh and that link you made to Bethlehem Steel Corporation is good. Thanks. -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 21:46, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
US Navy ship classes are named for the first ship authorized by Congress, regardless of whether she is commissioned, delivered or even laid down first. Farragut (DLG-6) was authorized first, so she is the ship the class is named for. Iceberg3k 14:45, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
* According to the 1970-71 edition of Jane's Fighting Ships DLG-6 USS Farragut (DLG-6) thru DLG-8 were ordered from the Fore River Shipyard with two 5"/54 caliber Mark 42 guns forward, while DLG-9 USS Coontz (DLG-9) thru DLG-11 were built in Navy shipyards with an RUR-5 ASROC launcher replacing the "B" gun. The Coontz-class designation occurred before the lower-numbered ships were converted to the ASROC configuration; and Farragut-class reflects completion of all ten in the latter configuration. Coontz was ordered on 18 November 1955 and was the first to be commissioned, while Farragut was ordered on 27 January 1956 and was commissioned five months after Coontz.Thewellman (talk) 07:10, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
Frigates
I really didn't think that anyone would contest the change I made, changing the definition of the hull designation of DLG from "Frigate" to "Destroyer Leader", but here we are.
If you go to the U.S. Navy's website and search for "DLG", you will find a series of articles in which DLG is either defined as "guided missile destroyer" or guided missile destroyer leader". There are only two pages that define DLG as "guided missile frigate" and one is a copy of the other.
In addition, no one I know that ever served aboard a DLG (while it was a DLG) would have called their ship a "frigate".
The only reference to them being Frigates in the Navy.mil website is on a handful of ship histories, but not all of them.
I don't know who called them "frigates" but the Navy doesn't (and didn't) and the sailors that served on them don't (and didn't.)
I also would like to call your attention to the USS Norfolk (DL-1), the USS Mitscher (DL-2), the USS John S. McCain (DL-3), the USS Willis A. Lee (DL-4), and the USS Wilkinson (DL-5). If a DL is a Destroyer Leader, why isn't a DLG a Guided Missile Destroyer Leader?
-TCav 01:02, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
* Please see centralized discussion at Talk:USS Fox (CG-33). TomTheHand 15:07, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
* I reported aboard USS Coontz (DLG-9) in 1965, and we called the DLGs frigates until they started talking about the redesignation to guided missile destroyers and cruisers in 1975 as I was taking the last links off my short-timer's chain of pop top beer can pull tabs. That was the year a programmable pocket calculator cost the percentage of my income that would buy a well-equipped desktop today. I wouldn't recommend weighting web search statistics to determine pre-web nomenclature. The 1955 NAVPERS Warship Identification Manual description of the DL MITSCHER Class included: These ships formerly classed as destroyer leaders are now classed as frigates with the DL designation.

Stakeholder approach
In management, a stakeholder approach is the practice that managers formulate and implement processes that satisfy stakeholders' needs to ensure long-term success. According to the degree of participation of the different groups, the company can take advantage of market imperfections to create valuable opportunities. It emphasizes active management of the business environment, relationships and the promotion of shared interests. This approach is based on stakeholder theory, which arises as a counterpart to business practices and management that focus on shareholders satisfaction. The implementation of this approach can reinforce the firm values and create competitive advantage. However, it has been criticized for overvaluing stakeholders and its difficulty to reach consensus.
Competitive advantage
This approach may create competitive advantage because it links the firm and stakeholders. The latter perceive the coherent application of the organizational values and relate to those. In that way, the company has the information about stakeholders it needs to treat them well and develop important initiatives. This reinforces the firm's reputation and loyalty among customers and other stakeholders, creates stronger brand recognition and increases trust in the firm. Even if there are limits in loyalty and reputation can be damaged, those two key elements can make a big difference creating barriers to other companies that may want to have information about stakeholder utility functions. Proponents maintain that a firm that follows the stakeholder approach gets the information it needs to satisfy the stakeholders' needs, making it easier to develop expertise. Those acquired skills can be transmitted, promoted and reinforced across the business operation of the firm creating core competencies. Over time, this approach can become an indispensable issue in the organizational culture.
Value creating through innovation
Firms that manage for stakeholders are more able to attract a higher-quality workforce. Employees' job satisfaction has an impact on the firm's ability to foster innovation. Workers who are satisfied with their jobs are more likely to engage in long-term thinking and generate potentially valuable ideas. Those firms can use information about stakeholder to devise new ways of satisfying them. Reciprocity is a key aspect in this approach: when stakeholders stand to benefit, they are more likely to reveal information about their utility function. That is why firms and firm managers can better meet consumers' needs by understanding their own customers and suppliers and using this information strategically and flexibly.
Divergent interests
Trying to satisfy a large number of players complicates governance, and may make it difficult to reach consensus. The consideration of so many varying interests is likely to produce divergent opinions, while individual interests and self-motivated actors may warp decision-making outcomes. Moreover, this approach has been criticized for implying that all stakeholders negotiate on a level playing field, ignoring potential disparities between the various interested parties.
Overvaluing stakeholders
It has been suggested that obtaining information about stakeholders' utility functions may produce costs that can exceed the benefits. Therefore, in its intention to create value, managing for stakeholders can end up allocating too many resources to stakeholders. Further, taking into account that power among stakeholders is not evenly distributed, certain actors may be able to appropriate more of a firm's profit for themselves than other interested parties. This warps the distribution of value between shareholders, rather than maximizing returns.

WBBX (FM)
WBBX (106.1 MHz) is an FM radio station broadcasting an oldies format. Licensed to Pocomoke City, Maryland, United States, the station is owned by Vinco Media LLC (Vince Klepac). The station was assigned the WBBX call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on February 6, 2020.
History
The original call sign of the station was WMYJ in 1992. During two months of 1994, the call letters were changed to WWVV in 1994. While the station was licensed to Great Scott Broadcasting, it was operated under a local marketing agreement (LMA) by Bay Broadcasting. Prior to 2005, the station was a simulcast of WBEY, a country music station.
In 2005, the simulcast ended and the station switched its programming to SAM-FM, a variety hits programming format distributed by satellite by Westwood One.
In August 2007, WKHW dropped the format and the SAM-FM programming. The station overlapped Great Scott's own programming on WKHI which had a similar variety hits format serving the same geographic area.
The station then became known as "K-Rock", broadcasting a classic rock programming format.
Silent
In Summer 2008, Bay Broadcasting's LMA with Great Scott Broadcasting ended in a dispute and the station went silent on June 23, 2008. WKHW was granted permission by the Federal Communications Commission to temporarily shut off its transmitter. Granted on August 21, 2008, this "remain silent" authority was to expire on February 17, 2009. The broadcast license for this station would automatically expire as a matter of law if the station did not resume broadcast operations by 12:01 a.m. on June 24, 2009. On April 13, 2009, while the station remained silent, the call sign was changed to WXSH.
Studio 106
On June 22, 2009, WXSH returned to the air at 106.1 FM with a rhythmic oldies format branded as "Studio 106". On August 25, 2009, GSB started a simulcast with 95.3 WKDB tower out of Laurel, DE. On August 4, 2010, the station went dark again.
Maxima 106.1 FM
On October 29, 2011, WXSH became Maxima 106.1 FM, a Spanish radio station managed by Hola Media Network. This station simulcast WJWL, Maxima 900, twenty-four hours a day.
The Vault
On November 3, 2014, WXSH changed its format to classic rock, branded as "The Vault" (simulcasting WJKI-FM 103.5 FM Bethany Beach, Delaware).
Xtra 106.1
With the sale of WXSH pending FCC approval, the station went dark for several weeks in early December 2018. On December 17, 2018, the new Xtra 106.1 was launched, playing "Delmarva's Greatest Hits of All Time".
94.9KHI simulcast
On May 1, 2019, WXSH dropped "Delmarva's Greatest Hits of All Time", and started simulcasting 94.9 WKHI.
Xtra 106.1 reboot
On June 7, 2019, WXSH dropped the WKHI simulcast and relaunched Xtra 106.1
B106.1
On February 6, 2020, WXSH rebranded as "B106.1" under new WBBX call letters.
On July 1, 2024, the station rebranded as Delmarva Gold B 106.1 playing an oldies format.

History
Allur was an important revenue center and also an important station for the American Baptist Missions in the Nellore district.
British India

A dwelling house and few acres of land were purchased for ₹ 1100 ($500) and old travelers bungalow was bought for ₹ 350. Allur was chosen as the fourth mission after Nellore, Ramayapatnam and Ongole in the district. An American Baptist church with 44 members was established in 1873 by Mr. Edwin Bullard. He abandoned Allur mission in 1874 and made it as the outstation for Nellore mission. Mr. W. S. Davis, missionary from New Jersey, worked there for four decades from 1873 till his return to United States. Resident missionaries were specially appointed to work at church since 1893. A mosque was built in 1910. Communal troubles arose around 1924 over the right of Hindu processions to play music before the mosque until Hindus got a decree for permission in 1928.
Freedom movement
Allur along with nearby Gogulapalle village became a venue of Salt Satyagraha in Nellore District and several people were arrested. Mahatma Gandhi visited Allur on 30 December 1933 as part of his coastal Andhra trip after Salt Satyagraha revolution and attended one Panchayat meeting and one public meeting.

The ward members are headed by a sarpanch and the present sarpanch is Kareti Chandra Leelamma. K.Vijayaramu is the secretary of the panchayat.
Administration
Allur was under the jurisdiction of Nellore district in Madras state of British India. In the Madras presidency, Allur was also a station of Deputy Tahsildar and Sub-Magistrate. A sub registrar office to register documents and deeds was established in 1871 and it was one of the 14 sub registrar offices in the district.
Allur was also originally part of Nellore Taluk. A new Kovur Taluk was created from Nellore in 1910 and Allur became part of it. Taluks were reorganized as Mandals in 1985 and Allur became a mandal.

Education
Until 1868, there were only outdoor elementary schools that taught Telugu reading, writing, poetry and basic math. That year, the British government established a secondary school starting with 44 students under the 1864 Education Act and a system of payments based on results was introduced to increase school attendance. American Baptist Mission started a middle school around 1878 and maintained till 1927. A boarding school for boys was opened in 1907.
Madabushi Seshachari, who was appointed in the ABM school, later urged the rich of Allur to start a school so that he could help them by joining the school for the all-round development of the school and also to promote educational values in the younger generation of the village. He also took help from Ramakrishna Mission for organising the school and started Ramakrishna Middle School in 1928. The school was extended to a high school in 1934, to a junior college in 1950, and to degree college in 1998.
Health care
The first government-aided dispensary was started in 1872. There are two public hospitals run by the government, Allur Government Hospital and Ayurvedic hospital.
Culture
The village has one ancient Siddeshwara temple and one ancient Gopalaswamy or Vishnu temple. There are inscriptions on a pillar in front of the temple of Siddeswara and on the flooring in front of Gopalaswamy temple. A woman called Perantalamma died in a Sati sacrifice and a temple was constructed in her memory.
People of Allur celebrate a special festival honouring Poleramma, village goddess, on a Tuesday of January every year. The floors are decorated with rangavalli and village is decorated with lights and flowers. A heap of cooked rice is offered along with Neem leaves in the morning. The deity is placed in a palanquin on a tiger or a swan and taken in a procession.
Transport
The best way to reach Allur is by road.
* Road: Allur is between two major towns, Nellore or Kavali. The Andhra Pradesh state road transport APSRTC runs a lot of buses to Allur from both of them. The APSRTC also operates nonstop bus services from Nellore to Allur. The national highway is 13 km away at Kodavaluru.
* Rail : Nearest railway station is 11 km away at Bitragunta and main railway stations are Nellore and Kavali
* Air : The nearest airport is at Tirupati (Renigunta), which is 150 km from the village which has limited services to certain domestic destinations like Vijayawada, Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam, Mumbai and Delhi. The nearest international airport is the Chennai International Airport, about 200 km from the village, which is an international airport providing connectivity to major parts of India and the world.

Zambia History and Politics
Settlement of Zambia
Already about 300,000 years ago people settled in what is now Zambia. These mostly lived near rivers or lakes and already used axes as tools. 50,000 years ago, the residents ventured into the heights of the country.
When the late Stone Age set in, they began hunting with bows and arrows and making tools out of bones. These were the indigenous people of Zambia. They were the San, Bushmen. As in the other regions of southern Africa, the Bantu tribes immigrated to the region from the 14th century.
In contrast to the hunters and gatherers who had previously lived in the area of Zambia, the Bantu peoples practiced agriculture and ranching. They lived in simple huts and were already making clay vessels.
The largest immigration took place between the late 17th and early 19th centuries. The peoples who settled the country included the Tonga, later the Barotse, who founded the Lozi Empire, and even later, not until the 19th century, the Bemba. They mainly settled on the central plateau, which stretches from the current capital Lusaka to Lake Tanganyika. The Bemba are the largest group in Zambia today.
The term Bantu is a collective term for more than 400 different ethnic groups in south and central Africa. What they all have in common is the language stem. Their languages are summarized as the Bantu languages. These can then be counted among the Niger-Congo languages. Many different languages have evolved in Africa and most of them are still in use. As a result of the colonization, English and French in particular later spread.
Beginning of slavery
The Europeans had meanwhile discovered the African continent and above all its mineral resources and riches. The first came to the Zambezi region as early as 1514. The slave trade came up through the Arabs, who also discovered this region. People started trading with Arabia and India too. But the Portuguese also used people as slaves and exploited them for their work in the fields and in the mines.
The British are coming
In the middle of the 19th century, the British came on the scene in the person of the researcher David Livingstone. He was also a missionary and wanted to bring the local people closer to the Christian faith. For a long time he lived among the African peoples of this region. But in addition to the mission, it was also important to him to convince people of the improvement in agricultural work.
He wanted to expand the trade in grain and cotton and make the slave trade superfluous. In his attempt to examine the suitability of the Zambezi for a trip by ship, he discovered the Victoria Falls quite incidentally. However, the Zambezi could not be navigated continuously by ship, that turned out to be at the same time.
The Africa explorer and missionary David Livingstone was originally from Scotland. In 1851 he made a trip to what is now Zambia. He was the first to reach the beginning of the Zambezi River there. He also discovered the Victoria Falls, which also belong to the Zambezi River. They are the widest waterfall in the world. Today they are part of the world natural heritage.
Northern Rhodesia and its copper
As in Zimbabwe, the history of Zambia is closely linked to the person of Cecil Rhodes, the founder of the British South African Company (BSAC), a British trading company. He managed to convince the British government that land had been awarded to his organization. The actual owners – the inhabitants of African countries – had little say in this. Although contracts were signed with them, attempts were usually made to deceive them in order to gain advantages from the contracts. For more articles on Zambia and Africa, please visit aristmarketing.
In 1890 what is now Zambia became a part of Rhodesia, which was named after Rhodes. In the meantime the rich copper deposits had also been discovered. In 1923 Zambia became Northern Rhodesia under the British Protectorate and received its independence from the South. During this time, copper production continued to increase, an important metal that was mainly discovered in the area of the Copperbelt – the copper belt. While the British were exploiting the mines, the black workers had to toil there for little money. That couldn’t go well in the long run.
In the long term, the locals did not accept the fact that their country was being exploited by the British. So it came to an argument. In 1930 miners went on strike. Ten years and 16 years later there was another strike. The workers stopped working.
Rhodesia becomes part of the Central African Federation
As in many other African countries, the British felt themselves to be rulers over black Africans and acted accordingly. Only the Second World War brought an end to colonialism. After that, the regions in Africa were also reorganized. But Zambia initially became part of the Central African Federation from 1953 to 1964. This also included Southern Rhodesia, now known as Zimbabwe, and Nyassaland, today’s state of Malawi. The population did not agree with this situation, so that there were repeated violent uprisings and further strikes.
In 1964 Zambia became independent from Great Britain, but was still a member of the Commonwealth. Kenneth Kaunda became the country’s first president. His party was the United National Independence Party (UNIP). During this time the country lived mainly from the rich copper deposits. This worked as long as the copper price was high. However, few alternatives have been developed in other industries, such as agriculture.
Disaster struck in the 1970s when copper prices fell and the country’s main source of income fell. The president declared Zambia a one-party state in 1973, after which other parties had been banned. The president nipped in the bud the unrest that arose over this policy. From then on, the country went down economically and politically at the same time. In 1984 the first case of AIDS emerged in Zambia.
It was not until 1990 that, following pressure from within, but also from outside, there was again a democratic election in which several parties competed against each other. The constitution was amended and in 1991 Frederick Chiluba became the new president. His party is called the Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD).
The next president was Levy Mwanawasa and he ruled from 2002 to 2008. Since January 2015 Edgar Lungu is the sixth president of Zambia. For the first time, his representative is a woman, Inonge Wina is the Vice President of Zambia.

Death and Memory in Early Medieval Britain
Death and Memory in Early Medieval Britain is an archaeological study of mnemonic elements in the funerary practices of Early Medieval Britain, written by the British archaeologist Howard Williams. The book was first published by Cambridge University Press as part of their series "Cambridge Studies in Archaeology" in 2006.
Synopsis
The first chapter, "Death, Memory and Material Culture", serves as an introduction to Williams' approach. Stating that "mortuary practices can be conceptualized as strategies for remembering and forgetting", he discusses the influence of sociology and anthropology on his study before exploring the Anglo-Saxon cemetery at Swallowcliffe Down in Wiltshire. Chapter two, "Objects of memory", examines the inclusion of grave goods in Early Medieval burials, among them jewellery and weaponry, emphasising the mnemonic effects that these might have had on those attending the funeral. In "Remembering through the body", Williams examines mnemonic elements to the manner in which the corpse was prepared before cremation or inhumation, resulting in its burial.
Chapter four, "Graves as mnemonic compositions", argues that Early Medieval graves were "mnemonic performances aimed at constructing the present in relation to the past and future." Looking at the sequence of scenes that onlookers would have witnessed, it discusses graves and grave structures, before using Snape, Sutton Hoo, and the northern cist burials, as case studies.
The fifth chapter, "Monuments and memory", focuses on the way in which cairns and burial mounds were erected to commemorate the death, also looking at ring ditches and Pictish symbol stones. "Death and landscape" takes a wider view of the relation between Early Medieval burials and the wider landscape, discussing the reuse of prehistoric monuments, and the relation between burials and routeways, settlements, and significant natural places. Highlighting that not all Early Medieval burials are in cemeteries, Williams looks to literary evidence from land charters and Beowulf to theorise mortuary landscapes.
Academic reviews
Leslie Webster of the British Museum reviewed the tome for the peer-reviewed journal Antiquity. Describing it as an "excellent book", she welcomed it as the "first extended study" into how the dead were remembered in Early Medieval British society. Although noting that churches, domestic architecture, and stone monuments were not discussed, she believed that Williams used sufficient evidence to illustrate his "firm command" of the subject. Praising the presentation of the evidence and the "particularly elegant" illustrations, she believed that he would have benefitted from including information on the Prittlewell Prince burial, Franks Casket, and a wider array of contemporary literary sources. More critically, she noted the existence of several typos in the text, believing that it could have benefited from a "firmer editorial hand", and believed that its "textbook style" made the work difficult to read at points.
In the Time and Mind journal, George Nash reviewed Williams' book.

Recursive addpath

Recursively adds directories to MATLAB path, optionally ignores some

This is a very simple function that will add all directories beneath a specified directory (or the current directory if none is specified), with the option to ignore a specified list of directories. Any directories that are ignored (for instance, '.svn' and 'CVS' if using version control) will not have their subdirectories added either.
This is a fast, very lightweight--and easily modifiable--function that should work on any platform (not tested explicitly). I use it to add the directory trees of toolboxes not stored in MATLAB's toolbox folder, as well as for modules checked out of SVN and CVS source control repositories.
Per reviewer suggestions and comments, this now ignores private directories, overloaded methods directories, and also hidden directories with no need to specify additional directories. It also accepts flags as in 'addpath' to place the directories at the beginning or end of the path.
An addition to this function (12/01/2008) is the ability for it to be run in 'reverse', recursively removing directories from the path. This capability can be very useful when working with multiple copies of a code repository, for instance. Also, I fixed a bug as mentioned by a reviewer that properly handles files without extensions.
Thanks to the extensive help of a user (Joe McDonnell), this function has been almost totally rewritten with better error detection, more efficient operation (much quicker run times, even for large directory trees), an extended debug mode that lists everything the function does, and better help. Also, now ignores the 'CVS' directories by default.
Another user (Jim) made a suggestion which resulted in a speed increase of approximately 3x in a moderate-sized directory tree (which should increase with larger sized trees). Also, a small change is made for Mac compatibility.

I still find this function useful. However, in it's current form it results in console warnings when e.g. package folders (those starting with a '+') are picked up.
To remedy this I inserted two quick lines (I included two lines of the original for reference):
%Build the list of directories
caAddRemDirs = {};
[caAddRemDirs] = addpath_recursively(caAddRemDirs, strStartDir, caStrsIgnoreDirs, strXorIntAddpathMode, blnRemDirs,blnDebug);
%KJ: find all module dirs (with a '+' in the name).
matches = strfind(caAddRemDirs,'+');
%Retain folders with no match for '+'
caAddRemDirs = caAddRemDirs(cellfun(@isempty,matches));
Warnings gone!
David G
Excelent!

Thanks Jim!
I made that change for compatibility with Macs. Also, based on your first comment back in October I increased the speed of the code by a factor of 3 in a moderate-sized directory tree.

It seems I can't figure out how to work this comment system. The main point of the last post was that the code doesn't work on a MAC as strStarDir\*. doesn't work, it only returns . and ..

OOPS, that second part should read:
saSubDirs = dir(strStartDir);
saSubDirs = saSubDirs([saSubDirs.isdir]);

Just to clarify on that last point, keeping a cell array of all directories to process, then using addpath(pathsOut{:},strXorIntAddpathMode) (where pathsOut is a cell array of all paths to add) works well

You can avoid the first bug I mentioned above by adding the following at line 59:
currDir = currDir([currDir.isdir]);
Oh, and I just checked in genpath, and see that IT uses recursive calls to 'dir'. Therefore my second suggestion doesn't actually avoid these multiple calls!
Sven
Sven (view profile)
Thank you for this very useful function. I have two main comments:
1. I think that there's a bug that causes the function to crash if a file without ANY extension is in a directory. For example, some people submit file exchange packages that include a file called "README". Your function fails on this case (at the moment).
2. I haven't checked yet, but perhaps this could be rewritten without using recursive functions. I think that if you simply use genpath to get a list of directories, you could then filter this list all in one go. This may be a little faster.
Nice function!
Thierry Dalon
Be aware: you are using assert function. This is not available in R14 or previous!
Moreover I am not sure if assert exit the function...
Thierry Dalon
it is not possible to change a rating in this new FX...sorry for the previous rating.
I think now it is a very useful file. Thanks for updating!
One last suggestion: I would consider a default ignore value possible in the script. For example, if no ignore input argument use ignore = {'.svn'}, editable by the user so that users can simply call your file without passing always an ignore option if they have a predilected default value.
Thierry Dalon
Thierry Dalon
@Author: the idea of an ignore option is good.
Good would be if you could also directly pass through ignore filter like "all directories starting wih "@" or "#"". At the best would be generic wildcard expressions.
Small missing point:Your implementation does not allow to use addpath intrinsec option like -BEGIN and -END.
You removed some features from original Matlab GENPATH which make your version not optimized. (private and @ not ignored by default; your loop run also over all files!)
------
@Jesse: this can be done with a small correction in the code:
if ~any(strcmp(currDir(m).name,{'.','..',ignore{:}})) && currDir(m).isdir && ~strncmp(currDir(m).name,'@',1) && ~any(strcmp(currDir(m).name,{'private','.',,'..')) ...
(see also original GENPATH)
Jesse Hopkins
Works pretty good, but it doesn't automatically ignore "private" directories and "@" directories like genpath does. You can easily add "private" to the list of ignored directories, however being able to skip over all "@" directories requires some code change.
Anthony Kendall
Genpath is unable to ignore directories, which is a key feature for certain uses (like source code repositories). That's the real utility of this function.
B. Roossien
What is wrong with addpath(genpath())?
Updates
1.6
Optimizations and Mac compatibility changes.

What are incontinence pads
What are Incontinence Pads?
Incontinence pads, also known as bladder control pads or absorbent pads, are products designed to manage urinary incontinence. Urinary incontinence is a condition characterized by the involuntary leakage of urine. It can occur due to various factors such as age, pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, and certain medical conditions.
The primary purpose of incontinence pads is to absorb and contain urine, preventing it from leaking onto clothing or causing discomfort and embarrassment. These pads are made from absorbent materials that quickly pull moisture away from the skin, keeping the user dry and comfortable.
Unlike adult diapers or briefs, some of the best incontinence pads are specifically designed to be worn inside regular underwear. They are discreet and provide a more comfortable and flexible solution for individuals with mild to moderate urinary incontinence.
How do Incontinence Pads work to manage urinary incontinence?
Incontinence pads work by absorbing and containing urine, preventing leakage and keeping the user dry. The pads are made up of several layers, each serving a specific purpose:
• Top Layer: The top layer of the pad is made from a soft, non-woven material that allows urine to pass through and be absorbed by the layers below. This layer is designed to keep the user’s skin dry and comfortable.
• Absorbent Core: The absorbent core is the central part of the pad that is responsible for absorbing and retaining urine. It is made up of super-absorbent polymers and cellulose fibers that can hold a significant amount of liquid.
• Waterproof Backing: The bottom layer of the pad is made from a waterproof material that prevents any leakage onto clothing or bedding. This layer ensures that the urine remains contained within the pad.
When the user experiences urine leakage, the pad quickly absorbs the liquid, trapping it within the absorbent core. The moisture is then distributed evenly throughout the pad, preventing any pooling or discomfort. The waterproof backing ensures that the urine does not leak through the pad, providing reliable protection.
Incontinence pads are available in various absorbency levels to cater to different degrees of incontinence. They can effectively manage light to moderate urinary leakage, providing comfort, confidence, and peace of mind to individuals dealing with this condition.
Types of Incontinence Pads
There are several types of incontinence pads available on the market, each designed to meet different needs and preferences. Here is an overview of the different options:
• Disposable Incontinence Pads: Disposable pads are the most common type of incontinence pads. They are designed for single-use and are convenient for travel or when access to laundry facilities is limited. Disposable pads are available in various sizes and absorbency levels to suit individual needs.
• Reusable Incontinence Pads: Reusable pads are made from washable materials and can be used multiple times. They are an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to disposable pads. Reusable pads come in different sizes and absorbency levels, and they often have a waterproof backing to prevent leakage.
• Pantyliners: Pantyliners are thin and lightweight pads designed for light urinary leakage. They are similar to regular pantyliners used for menstrual protection but offer additional absorbency for urine. Pantyliners are discreet and can be comfortably worn with regular underwear.
• Male Guards: Male guards, also known as drip collectors, are specifically designed for men with light urinary incontinence. They are contoured to fit the male anatomy and provide targeted protection where it is needed most. Male guards are discreet and can be easily worn with regular underwear.
Each type of incontinence pad has its own set of features and benefits. It is essential to consider individual needs, lifestyle, and personal preferences when choosing the right type of pad.
Choosing the Right Incontinence Pad
Choosing the right incontinence pad is crucial to ensure comfort, effectiveness, and proper management of urinary incontinence. Here are some factors to consider when selecting a pad:
1. Absorbency Level: The absorbency level of the pad should match the individual’s level of urinary leakage. Lighter absorbency pads are suitable for occasional dribbles or small leaks, while higher absorbency pads are needed for more significant leaks or continuous urinary incontinence.
1. Size and Fit: Incontinence pads come in various sizes to fit different body shapes and underwear styles. It is important to choose a pad that fits securely and comfortably without causing any irritation or discomfort.
1. Gender-Specific: Some incontinence pads are designed specifically for men or women to provide optimal protection and fit. These pads are contoured to accommodate the anatomical differences between genders.
1. Odor Control: Look for pads that have odor control features to minimize any unpleasant smells associated with urinary incontinence. Odor control technology can help keep the user feeling fresh and confident throughout the day.
1. Skin-Friendly: Consider pads that are made from skin-friendly materials to prevent irritation, rashes, or allergic reactions. Look for pads that are hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested.
It may take some trial and error to find the right incontinence pad that meets all the necessary requirements. It is advisable to start with a smaller pack or sample sizes to test different options before committing to a larger purchase.
How to Use Incontinence Pads
Proper usage of incontinence pads is essential to ensure maximum comfort and effectiveness. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to use incontinence pads:
• Prepare: Before using the pad, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water to maintain hygiene.
• Position the Pad: Open the pad and unfold it. Position the pad lengthwise in the center of your underwear, with the wider end at the back and the narrower end at the front.
• Secure the Pad: Pull up your underwear and ensure that the pad is properly positioned, covering the area where urine leakage is most likely to occur. The pad should fit snugly against your body without any gaps.
• Check for Comfort: Ensure that the pad feels comfortable and does not cause any irritation or discomfort. Adjust the position if needed.
• Dispose or Clean: If using disposable pads, dispose of the used pad in a hygienic manner. If using reusable pads, remove the pad from your underwear and rinse it under cold water to remove any urine. Wash the pad with mild soap and warm water, then allow it to air dry or follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
It is important to change the pad regularly to maintain hygiene and prevent any skin irritation. The frequency of pad changes will depend on the individual’s level of urinary leakage and the absorbency level of the pad being used. It is recommended to change the pad whenever it becomes saturated or feels uncomfortable.
When using incontinence pads, it is also important to maintain good personal hygiene. Cleanse the genital area with mild soap and water regularly, and pat it dry before applying a fresh pad. This will help prevent any potential skin infections or irritations.
Where to Buy Incontinence Pads
Incontinence pads can be purchased from various sources, both online and offline. Here is an overview of the options available:
1. Pharmacies and Drugstores: Many pharmacies and drugstores carry a wide range of incontinence pads. These establishments often have knowledgeable staff who can assist in selecting the right product based on individual needs.
1. Supermarkets and Retail Stores: Some supermarkets and retail stores have a dedicated section for incontinence products, including pads. These stores offer convenience and the opportunity to compare different brands and options.
1. Online Retailers: There are numerous online retailers that specialize in incontinence products. These platforms offer a wide selection of pads, often at competitive prices. Online shopping provides the convenience of home delivery and discreet packaging.
1. Incontinence Product Manufacturers: Many manufacturers of incontinence products have their own websites where customers can directly purchase their products. Ordering from the manufacturer’s website ensures authenticity and access to the full range of their products.
When choosing where to buy incontinence pads, it is important to consider factors such as affordability, product availability, and discreet purchasing. Some individuals may prefer the convenience of online shopping, while others may prefer the personalized assistance available at pharmacies or drugstores.
It is also worth noting that in some cases, individuals may be eligible for reimbursement or financial assistance for incontinence products through insurance or government programs. It is advisable to check with the relevant authorities or healthcare providers to explore these options.
Frequently Asked Questions about Incontinence Pads
Q: What is the difference between pads and adult diapers?
The main difference between pads and adult diapers lies in their design and usage. Incontinence pads are designed to be worn inside regular underwear and are suitable for individuals with mild to moderate urinary incontinence. They are discreet, comfortable, and offer flexibility in terms of movement and lifestyle.
On the other hand, adult diapers, also known as briefs, are full-coverage garments that provide maximum protection for individuals with more severe urinary incontinence. They are worn like underwear and have built-in absorbent material that extends from the front to the back, covering the entire area. Adult diapers are suitable for individuals who require higher levels of absorbency and protection.
The choice between pads and adult diapers depends on the individual’s level of urinary incontinence, lifestyle, and personal preferences. It is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for guidance on selecting the most appropriate option.
Q: Can incontinence pads be used by both men and women?
Yes, incontinence pads can be used by both men and women. While there are gender-specific pads available that are contoured to fit the male or female anatomy more comfortably, many pads are designed to be unisex and can be used by individuals of any gender.
The key consideration when choosing a pad is to ensure that it fits securely and comfortably, regardless of gender. Some individuals may find that gender-specific pads provide a better fit and targeted protection, while others may prefer unisex options. It is important to select a pad that meets individual needs and offers the desired level of comfort and effectiveness.
Q: How often should pads be changed?
The frequency of pad changes will depend on the individual’s level of urinary leakage and the absorbency level of the pad being used. It is important to change the pad regularly to maintain hygiene, prevent any skin irritation, and ensure optimal absorbency.
As a general guideline, it is recommended to change the pad whenever it becomes saturated or feels uncomfortable. For individuals with lighter urinary leakage, changing the pad every 2-4 hours may be sufficient. Those with more significant leakage may need to change the pad more frequently, such as every 1-2 hours.
It is important to monitor the pad’s absorbency capacity and adjust the frequency of changes accordingly. Regularly check for signs of leakage or discomfort to determine if more frequent pad changes are necessary.
Q: Are there any potential side effects or allergies associated with incontinence pads?
In general, incontinence pads are safe to use and do not pose significant risks or side effects. However, some individuals may be sensitive or allergic to certain materials used in the pads, such as latex or fragrances.
If you have known allergies or sensitivities, it is important to read the product labels carefully and choose pads that are hypoallergenic and free from potential irritants. Look for pads that are dermatologically tested and suitable for sensitive skin.
If you experience any irritation, redness, or discomfort while using incontinence pads, it is advisable to discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. They can help identify any potential allergies or sensitivities and recommend alternative products that are better suited to your needs.

User:G.I.JOEPRODUCTIONS
When I started working in the music business in 1988 I was given the name G.I.Joe on my first day when my co-workers forgot my name. This was at the Ritz in New York City. My co-workers said to me Joe do this and Joe do that. After an hour or so they asked me if my name was Joe? I said no. Then they asked me why I did what they said? I said {as someone who grew up in NYC] I thought you were talking to me so I did what you asked. I just figured that they forgot my name. Most of the tech crew didn't grow up in NYC and had a laugh that I would just do as I was asked on my first day and not correct them about my name. The name stuck and 20 years later most of the music industry knows me just as Joe or G.I.Joe.

Talk:Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures
Saban Properties / BVS Entertainment
Buena Vista Apparently owns the rights to a great many of the re-dubbed Saban Projects. I wish everyone would call them @ 1-800-477-2811 and request that the Saban Properties be re-released in some form. They Bought Saban Entertainment and now own the rights to the distribution of a great many shows that may never see the light of day again unless someone calls them and says "hey, you guys need to stop being so boneheaded and release this stuff, you could make ".
Per the Saban Article, the wing of Buena Vista that houses what was once Saban Entertainment is called "BVS Entertainment".
I know Maple Town, Maya the Bee, Mysterious Cities of Gold, And Noozles are under the ownership of BVS. I wish I could find out what else has disappeared down the figurative rabbit hole into the dark recesses of the corporate behemoth that is Buena Vista / Disney.
Christ, why did this stuff have to end up in the hands of the corporate jerkwads who will likely never allow it to see the light of day again ;_; —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk • contribs) 17:13, 19 April 2006
Buena Vista becomes Walt Disney
Disney changed the name of all Buena Vista business units six months ago.

There's already a section regarding the topic on this talk page, but I've decided to start anew and assess this critical issue. This discussion also applies to the same issue at 20th Century Fox (and any other studio articles for that matter), but I've concentrated the discussion here because of the higher frequency in edit warring and to avoid creating two, separate discussions. For now, I would argue against including the content for the following reasons:
1. Adhering to Policy — The current edits that have added the content have been unreferenced and are therefore unverified, which goes against Wikipedia's core policies of verifiability and abstaining from including original research.
2. Arbitrary nature — The information is arbitrary and leads to questions like; ''What constitutes a media franchise? Do we include every franchise the studio has done, both widely known and less-known, or one over the other? Are dormant/future franchises part of the list too? What about franchises that only have one film but have a larger presence in other forms of media that are unrelated to the studio, like merchandising, television and theme parks?'' In shorter terms, where do we draw the line in the sand?
3. Notability — Does the content meet notability guidelines or is it irrelevant and trivial?
Please note, that if those problems can be addressed and solved, then I'd support incorporating the content. ~ Jedi94 ( talk ) 21:43, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
I think the list does have a place in the article but only for major partners involved. Don't forget the article is about a distribution company, so films it distributes are an important piece of knowledge. Most of the current list items are notable companies with notable involvement so they can stay. However you can remove the producer/distribution deals, it is getting a bit trivial. There is definitely need for more references on the list itself and finding sources to verify the contents of the list could realistically be done.
So keep to current/former units with more references but remove the producer/distributions deals. EvilKeyboardCat (talk) 09:44, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
* Agree with EvilKeyboardCat. References need to be added to verify the list's contents. It would be ideal to find a reliable source that already has some form of this list, rather than editors putting together a list using references for individual items on the list and potentially creating an original research issue.

RfC:"Distributed by" v. "Studio"
Please note: I've abbreviated Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures as WDSMP and Buena Vista Pictures Distribution as BVPD for the purposes of brevity.
I feel as though I have to address two issues that are becoming apparent in several Disney film articles, involving the Studio and Distributed by parameters found in the infoboxes for Disney films. I've come across several articles that identity either a film label/imprint/banner (i.e. Walt Disney Pictures, Touchstone Pictures, or Hollywood Pictures etc.) as the film's distributor whereas other articles identify WDSMP or BVPD (depending on the year) as distributor, despite the fact that all of Disney's films are distributed by the latter, as the former ones are imprints/labels/banners. Thus the first key issue is this: Who do we indicate as distributor? WDSMP/BVPD? Or its various labels/imprints/banners? For the sake of argument, if we decide on the former, then where do we list all of the labels/imprints/banners? In the studio parameter? Or do we just double stuff the distributor parameter?
Addressing that concern, brings forth the second issue which is article consistency. If we do decide on what goes in what parameter, then we must enforce that rule-of-thumb on all articles and not just a collective few, which is what I've been noticing. For example, The Nightmare Before Christmas now lists BVPD as distributor and Touchstone as the studio, whereas My Father the Hero (a film from roughly the same timeframe), has Touchstone as distributor and nothing in the studio field, despite that they're both distributed by WDSMP/BVPD. In basic terms, many of the related film articles are just inconsistent with one another.
I have two solutions that I'd like to bring to the table. A. We identify the distributor as one of the film labels/imprints/banners and disregard WDSMP/BVPD completely, since its role in distribution is already implied with the film label (exempting Disney's Marvel Studios releases). B. We only include WDSMP/BVPD in the distribution parameter and all the various film labels/imprints/banners would fall under the studio parameter alongside any other production companies.
What are your thoughts on addressing this issue? ~ Jedi94 ( talk ) 21:22, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
* At one point, each of BV, Touchstone, Hollywood and Miramax had their own distribution capability (not sure about Disney Pictures). Later the film units were force to operate closer and unified their distribution arm under BVPD (except for Miramax until near the end of its Disney ownership). Spshu (talk) 20:11, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
* So...what do we do about it? ~ Jedi94 ( talk ) 20:17, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
* I support Jedi94's statements and I think "Solution A" would work best for me. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 20:17, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
* Comment I think there are two separate issues here. You have to separate "imprints" from revisionism i.e. the purpose of the infobox is to record the bibliographic information about the film. For instance, United Artists used to distribute the James Bond films, and then it was taken over by MGM but that doesn't mean we should start adding MGM to all the James Bond film articles i.e. Dr No was distributed by United Artists, so that is what it should say, regardless of who owns it now. Then you have imprints, which are when a company makes or releases a film under a different division/branding, for example "Touchstone Pictures". It is common in book publishing to list both the publisher and the imprint (see MLA example), so that analogy could be used in film articles i.e. Touchstone (The Walt Disney Company) — incidentally this is how the AFI present the information for The Nightmare Before Christmas. But you have to be careful to avoid original research in these cases, because apart from the most highly publicised cases such as Disney's Touchstone or Buena Vista labels, in many cases it will be often unclear when something is a branding or a subsidiary, and if something is a subsidiary then it is not an imprint. The easiest way to approach this I think is to simply follow what the sources say: the AFI list Touchstone as the production company and Buena Vista as the distributor for both The Nightmare Before Christmas, and this is also the case for My Father the Hero. The Nightmare Before Christmas was also submitted to the MPAA by Disney using its Buena Vista arm for its MPAA rating. Betty Logan (talk) 22:57, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
* In retrospect, I realized that I forgot to mention that I'm also inclined towards "Solution A" as being the best option. In regard to Betty Logan's comment - if we follow that route, then what would do for the studio and distributor parameters for such films from, let's say, Pixar? (While still staying true to Disney's film labels, that is.) ~ Jedi94 ( talk ) 23:20, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
* Well, the AFI always supply a list of the production companies and the distributor so in what sense is that not sufficient for what we need? If you take the Toy Story films for example, the AFI, MPAA and BBFC state that Buena Vista is the distributor for the first two films, while for the third they all state it is WDSMP (AFO, MPAA, BBFC). For the production companies, the AFI lists Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Pictures for the first two and just Pixar for the third one . There are plenty of sources around that list the production companies and distributors and all we should be doing is following them. Betty Logan (talk) 00:47, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
* I think Solution A is the best course of action. It feels more inclusive and overall makes more sense to me. Celestial Reader (talk) 19:23, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
* The core principal of Wikipedia is WP:Verifiability. That means editors shouldn't be determining which companies/brands are credited with producing/distributing the film from their own personal knowledge or research of corporate infrastructure. If secondary sources credit a particular company then that is what Wikipedia should be doing. Betty Logan (talk) 19:28, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
* That is correct. However, this isn't conjecture, we know exactly what the studio is, and who the distributor is. The issue is how we are going to list it, correct? I feel like Solution A just makes more sense than solution B. It's not like solution A will have false information, It's a more specific route than just listing WDSMP or BVPD. Celestial Reader (talk) 19:50, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
* Neither solution is really acceptable if it puts us at odds with other secondary sources and database entries, and both are entirely acceptable if they are consistent with them. In the case of A Nightmare Before Christmas, sources credit the production company as Touchstone and Buena Vista as the distributor, so why would we need to deviate from that? In the case of the Toy Story films what is the problem with simply emulating the AFI? This is a solution without a problem IMO. Betty Logan (talk) 21:09, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
Both solutions are the same since they just serve in different contexts and both can be feasible, provided that we're not misinforming readers with original research or anything of the sort. As of now, Solution A seems to be the majority though. But, I do want to dignify Betty's point that we can enact Solution B only if we can find consistent sources for all of Disney's films. For instance, the AFI/Toy Story example seems a bit dodgy since we know Walt Disney Pictures was involved in some sort of capacity with the third film (despite no mention of it by the AFI), but AFI isn't the only source out there and if we can find other reputable ones we might be home free. ~ Jedi94 ( talk ) 22:41, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

20th Century Fox Box Office
Can we now include Fox's films in the Highest-grossing films? RigorImpossible (talk) 10:37, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
* No, they were not distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures/Buena Vista distribution. Spshu (talk) 15:44, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
* What Spshu said. Much like older Lucasfilm and Marvel Studios films, they were not originally distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures/Buena Vista Distribution. However, any new future Fox films distributed by Disney can be included from now onwards. ~ Jedi94 ( Want to tell me something? ) 18:13, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
Box office NOTNEWS
The box office grosses should not be updated like we are some sort of film newspaper (NOTNEWS). Small increments, relatively speaking, are not encyclopedic. Thus I suggest that only after the weekend box office closes that they be updated. Spshu (talk) 18:51, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
Oppose- I’m disappointed that I’m having to argue with you again, articles should be updated to reflect recent events, where is your idea of this “newspaper” thing even coming from? I need another reason on how NOTNEWS applies here. HurricaneGeek2002 (talk) 23:14, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
* I disappointment too to argue with you over something over very basic logic. "....where is your idea of this “newspaper” thing even coming from?" Straight from NOTNEWS: "For example, routine news reporting of announcements, sports, or celebrities is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia." A million is not much money any more; there are 1 millionaire per thousand people. The box office table is cut to the millions to keep even lesser transaction from being reported. Even most media outlets don't even report box office information with most after the weekend boost, thus an daily up dater of a few million in box office sales is being Anal retentiveness. So, asking to match what news outlets usually report this info not much. This is all a volunteer effort, we shouldn't want "make work" in daily updates and the then expect the page watchers to have to verify these small updates. Spshu (talk) 19:13, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
Fine. HurricaneGeek2002 (talk) 18:31, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
* Oppose – While the numbers don't have to be up-to-date... that doesn't mean an up-to-date number is incorrect. If a user makes a correct updated box-office number, it shouldn't be reverted to an outdated, week-old version just because a "page watcher" doesn't have the time to verify from Box Office Mojo. We probably don't want small changes; but changes that involve millions or change in chart positions should be welcomed when they occur. Starforce13 (talk) 18:05, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
* Oppose: I agree with Starforce13's reasoning. Although I agree that box office numbers don't need to be updated every minute of every day, that doesn't mean any new and accurate updates should be reverted for an old gross. If a dedicated user should provide us with any newer, accurate grosses, then they should be kept. No harm done with that. ~ Jedi94 ( Want to tell me something? ) 21:23, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
* The harm is the box office updates can hide incorrect changes or removal of information intentional or not from watchlist(s) as it only shows the last edit on a day. It becomes harder to just revert as each succeeding edit occurs. Spshu (talk) 12:44, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
* You can configure your Watchlist to show all the changes instead of just the recent ones. If you go to "Preferences", there's a "Watchlist" tab where you'll find an "Advanced Options" section. There's a checkbox that says "Expand watchlist to show all changes, not just the most recent." Check it and save. So, all changes will be displayed by default and none will slip away. After that, it should be easy to see all the changes unless you only look at the comment and someone intentionally uses "BOM update" comment to hide a vandalism (which they can still do with any other edit/comment).

Suggested merger of Walt Disney Studios (division) and Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures
Indicated by Ajax Coleman in this edit at 04:49, 19 September 2019. Nardog (talk) 05:55, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
* "NOT FOR MERGE. WDS is the umbrella studio; WDS Motion Pictures is the distribution unit of WDS. Not the same." – Starforce13, in the edit summary of this edit at 05:19, 19 September 2019. Nardog (talk) 05:55, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
* Against. Walt Disney Studios (division) is the segment division of The Walt Disney Studios that includes more than just Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures including Disney Music Group and Disney Theatrical Group plus all the production and facility units. Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures also has a history as Buena Vista Distribution and is the distribution arm of the Studio. Spshu (talk) 19:34, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
* There are two incarnations of Buena Vista Pictures Distribution. The original incarnation was an actual entity merged into ABC, Inc. while the current incarnation now called Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures was formed right after but did not result in a formation of a new entity, instead the current incarnation is a division/label of Walt Disney Studios and Walt Disney Studios is an actual company called Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group.Granthew (talk) 14:42, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
* Not really, Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group co-existed with and was over Buena Vista Distribution, Buena Vista Home Entertainment and Disney studio marketing (and possibly international units plus Touchstone distribution as at one point I read, but cannot refind, where most of the production companies had distribution units - which I doubt for Hollywood which was mostly attached to Touchstone) from 1996 to 2001 (along with 2001-2006 Buena Vista Motion Pictures Group which grouped the production companies - Hollywood, Disney, Touchstone, Caravan). Spshu (talk) 20:58, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
* Snow - I don't even think there's use continuing this discussion. It's based on an incorrect assumption that WDS and WDSMP are the same entity. And also, both articles are already too large on their own... which would have resulted in a SPLIT had they been one article. So, this is a clear WP:SNOW null discussion. — Starforce13 21:39, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
* Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group was formed in 1991 as Mixed Berry Corporation and the original Buena Vista Pictures Distribution was merged into ABC, Inc. in 1997, this can be found in the California Corporations Online Database.Granthew (talk) 20:10, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
* Quite aware, as I add the fact that I added that Buena Vista Pictures Distribution (BVPD) merged into ABC, Inc. But that would make the current WDSMP a division of ABC, Inc. Or this could have been how they transferred Buena Vista Television, Inc. to the ABC Group part of the conglomerate while transferring the BVPD assets else where like possibly to Disney Enterprise, Inc., Buena Vista International, Inc. (Registration 04/04/1961 and still active), international distribution arm and Disney Pictures, Inc. So, what you have turned up doesn't prove any thing. Spshu (talk) 16:04, 28 February 2020 (
* Well it doesn’t make sense for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures to be a division of ABC, Inc. Are you suggesting Buena Vista Pictures Distribution was the parent company of Buena Vista Television? I don’t know what other purpose Disney Enterprises (Disney Enterprises, Inc.) serves for the Disney mass media conglomerate, the only thing that is known about Disney Enterprises is that it is the copyright holder and trademark owner of the Disney brand and intellectual properties around the brand and that it is the second business entity called “The Walt Disney Company”. I don’t think there is a business entity called Disney Pictures, Inc. In reply to “what I turned up doesn’t mean anything”, I was just making the case that the Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures article should not be merged into the Walt Disney Studios article.Granthew (talk) 01:13, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
Distribution to TCF
If 20th Century Fox is still distributing its own films according to its sources, how come it's still listed on the film unit list of studios being distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures regardless? — Preceding unsigned comment added by XSMan2016 (talk • contribs) 23:28, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
* Probably due to the assumption that 2CF distribution operations (2CFD) is a unit or label of WDSMP. Which is logical given that the top 2CFD executives have been dismissed. But it still could be reporting to the 2CF vice chair thus not a part of WDSMP. Spshu (talk) 16:41, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
Furthermore, in the paragraph of the Walt Disney Studios article, "Under the Walt Disney Studios division are notable film production companies including Walt Disney Pictures, Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar, Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm, 20th Century Fox, Fox Searchlight Pictures and Blue Sky Studios. Films produced by these studios are released and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures." --XSMan2016 (talk) 08:43, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
Besides, according to this source, You can find these three letters "FSL", "DIS", and "FOX" behind their respective movie titles on Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures' release schedule. I found out that they're the names of WDSMP's production companies that are producing said respective films; "FSL" stands for Fox Searchlight, "DIS" stands for Walt Disney Pictures, and "FOX" stands for 20th Century Fox; therefore Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures is behind distribution, and Fox Searchlight and 20th Century Fox are behind producing. XSMan2016 (talk) 21:43, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
Searchlight Pictures
Anyone have idea if we should remove Searchlight Pictures or put a disclaimers saying They distribute their own films autonously from Disney? Because if we say Disney Studios Motion Pictures distrubutes the following studios and we last that, that technically means Disney doenst distrbute Searchlight Pictures films, acordding to this: "Following the reorganization and renaming of the acquired film units, Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures began distributing 20th Century Studios films, while Searchlight Pictures continued to operate their autonomous distribution unit".[ NakhlaMan (talk) 07:20, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
management at Buena Vista Pictures
Who headed Buena Vista Pictures before Dick Cook became president of it in 1994? Who were the people that ran the distribution company from its founding until then? --Evope (talk) 02:41, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
Star Distribution the successor to Buena Vista International in Latin America and Brazil
Well, since Buena Vista brand was officialy dropped in the Latin American region as of February 11, 2022, the Latin American branch of Buena Vista International is now Star Distribution as seen in the YouTube Channel and his Facebook page that the logo of Star Distribution first seen as a profile photo, the last film to use the BVI name was Today We Fix The World (2022) and the first film to use his current name was Noche Americana (2022) and the Argentine print of Official Competition (2022) and also on November 3, 2022, the Brazilian branch of Buena Vista International was renamed to Star Distribution as his YouTube Channel and his Facebook page the logo is the same with the Star Distribution logo, the last film to use the BVI name in Brazil was Abestalhados 2 (2022) and the first film to use his current name will be Fervo (2023) and yeah Star Distribution didn't have a on-screen logo in his films and is unknown if Las Fiestas (2023) would have a official on-screen logo (as in style of Star Original logo or in style of Star Studios logo).

* This does seem real, considering that two of the three sources listed for this name in this article are from Disney itself. However, while the database OpenCorporates lists multiple entities under the legal name ABC, Inc. (or ABC Communications, Inc.) trading as WDSMP, Dun & Bradstreet lists the company's trade name as simply ABC. FloorMadeOuttaFloor (Converse here) 11:38, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
* I agree. And rumour has it that Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures is a trade name for ABC Inc according to some source. I guess it's like Amblin Partners being the trade name for Storytelling Distribution LLC after all!! SolshineBenie (talk) 17:25, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
* @FloorMadeOuttaFloor @SolshineBenie @TCFFanmade2006YT @InfiniteNexus
* This discussion looks long dead, but allow me to arrive with my two cents months after. Floor said there are multiple entities incorporated as ABC, Inc. Like, ones in Indiana, Utah, Michigan, Texas, and they are all stipulated as "branches" (of another company). Dun & Bradstreet's listing is for yet another ABC, Inc. company doing business as "Disney Concerts". I'm thinking these ABC companies that we're all seeing are Special-purpose entity companies. The fact that most of the sources cite sweepstakes/giveaways buttresses that idea. Just my two cents, but anyways have a nice one ya'll!

So why is mIRC trying to connect to cid 25or make it active?
mIRC isn't. Your script is. This isn't a mIRC bug, that error message comes from the /scid command being used. If you don't believe me unload all your scripts and see if it happens. You'll find it doesn't.
A connection ID is associated with each Status Window - it doesn't matter if that window is connected to a server or not. As I tried to explain before, mIRC scripts are automatically switched to the appropriate connection ID in events - so in an on join event all commands will occur for the connection where you just joined a channel, in a raw event all commands will occur on the connection that the raw message just came from, and so on. The only time you need to use /scid $cid or $scid($cid) is if you have explicitly changed the connection to another one earlier within that peice of code. Again, the use of those commands with $cid doesn't explain the bug itself, but it is completely unnecessary unless there are more /scid commands that you haven't shown us.
Edit: Have you looped through with $scon(N) to list the connection IDs and see if any of them is 25? I strongly suspect that there won't be, but this should show us definitively one way or the other.
Code:
//var %i = 1 | while $scon(%i) { echo -a Connection ID for $ord(%i) connection: $v1 | inc %i }

Australia Diary He thought it was a fight, then the two Perth lifeguards showed up. Australia Diary is a weekly collection of reader stories (and images and videos) reflecting Australia’s unique character. Share yours with us and check out our previous installments. Perth By Peter Papathanasiou It was morning on Perth’s Scarborough Beach. From the promenade, I stood watching the Indian Ocean’s frothy white tops. The light was crisp and clear, and razor-sharp shadows fell across the ground. From the corner of my eye, I saw two young men appear on the promenade, one on foot, the other in an electric wheelchair. I watched them have an animated discussion, point at the water, and then each other. Eventually, the man on foot walked away, strode purposely across the sand and disappeared up the beach. I thought they had an argument. I was about to go ask the man in the wheelchair if he needed help. He looked abandoned. But then I saw them approaching: two bronzed lifeguards. The man on foot was behind them, pointing at his friend. The lifeguards had biceps like Christmas hams. Together, they lifted the man from his chair and removed his clothes, leaving only his shorts in place. Muscles tensing, the guards carried the man down to the surf using a two-handed seat carry. Cradling his limp body in their arms, they let him half float in the water between them. His friend watched, smiling. Sitting where the surf flirted with the sand, all I could hear was the sound of laughter above the music of the waves. We want your stories too and we’re especially eager to see your videos — maybe it’s you telling a story to camera, or something you captured unexpectedly. Share your story with us.

John Henry Hale
John Henry Hale (June 5, 1878 – March 27, 1944) was a prominent surgeon, professor, and philanthropist who played a prominent role in establishing the black medical community. Hailed as the "dean of American Negro surgeons," Hale conducted over 30,000 surgeries, mainly at Meharry Medical College and Millie E. Hale Hospital. He practiced medicine and taught at Meharry for 29 years, mentoring a plethora of black surgeons.
Together with his wife, Millie, Hale did much philanthropic work in his local black community in Nashville, Tennessee. Together, they distributed food to the poor, offered much of their medical care for free, ran free medical classes and lectures, and converted their home into a local community center — a hosting place for many local community organizations.
Hale was a president of National Medical Association in 1935. He is a recipient of a Distinguished Service Medal. His name was given to medical organizations, a medical center in California, and a public housing project in Nashville.
Early life and education
Hale was born June 5, 1878, in Estill Springs, Tennessee, into the family of Aaron Hale (1849–1914) and Emma (Gray) Hale (1848– ?). He received his elementary education in Estill Springs, then moved to Nashville in the 1890s. In 1901, Hale graduated from Walden University in Nashville (also known as Central Tennessee College) with a B.S. degree. For the next four years, he attended Meharry Medical College graduating as a Doctor of Medicine in 1905. During his years in Meharry, Hale attended Daniel Hale Williams' surgical clinics, which later influenced Hale's decision to specialize as a surgeon. Soon after his graduation, on December 20, 1905, Hale married his first wife, Nashvillian Millie Essie (Gibson) Hale.
Medical career
After his graduation from Meharry Medical College, Hale was invited to join the college in a full-time capacity as faculty member and medical practitioner at the hospital adjoined to the college. The hospital was founded in 1900 by Robert F. Boyd as a 27-bed Mercy Hospital on South Cherry Street. In 1910, it was renamed to Hubbard Hospital and moved to First Avenue South. Hale started as instructor in histology and remained in this position from 1905 to 1911.
However, inspired by Daniel Hale Williams' surgical clinics, Hale's ambition was to become a surgeon. As relevant post-graduate schooling was not available at Meharry, Hale travelled to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, Crile Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio, and the University of Chicago to advance his knowledge in surgery. Hale also started practicing surgery as early as 1906, taking indigent cases in Nashville. While teaching histology, Hale briefly headed the tumor clinic at Mercy hospital in 1906 and 1907,; he then served a clinical instructor from 1911 to 1912.
Hale gradually became a "self-taught" surgeon who would take on most surgeries — a universalism occasionally practiced at that era. In 1922, Hale became the director of the Division of Surgery at Meharry; then in 1923, the chief of staff of the Department of Surgery at Hubbard Hospital; and in 1924, a clinical professor of surgery in Meharry Medical College. He advanced to full professorial position in 1931, and in 1938 became the chairman of the Department of Surgery at Hubbard Hospital. Hale is credited for performing approximately 30,000 surgeries before his death in 1944. For his "outstanding contribution to the Negro medical profession," Hale was posthumously awarded the Distinguished Service Medal. The ceremony was performed by Ulysses G. Dailey, the first black surgeon recognized by the United States medical profession.
Millie E. Hale Hospital
Following the sudden death of his two-month old son, John Henry Hale Jr., in 1916, Hale and his wife, Millie E. Hale founded a new hospital to treat black community of Nashville, which numbered 35,000 at the time. His wife was the driving force and supervisor of the new institution, which was named after her, while Hale became the surgeon-in-chief. The hospital opened at 523 Seventh Avenue and grew from 12 beds in 1916 to 75 beds in 1922. The hospital successfully passed all the standards set by the state of Tennessee, getting average scores of 91%. By 1923, over 5,000 surgeries had been performed at this hospital, most by Hale.
After the premature death of his wife in 1930, Hale maintained the Millie E. Hale Hospital for eight more years. In 1938, however, Meharry management insisted that Hale could not stretch himself so broadly, and the hospital closed, its staff and patients absorbed by Hubbard Hospital.
Other medical work
Following the example of his mentor, Daniel Hale Williams, Hale conducted multiple teaching clinics all over the American South to spread his surgical knowledge and practice among fellow black doctors.
Hale was also a patron of the Tuskegee Institute, a historically black university in Alabama. He served as a president of the National Medical Association in 1935, and was active in the Meharry Alumni Association.
Philanthropy
A religious Christian, Hale devoted most of his time and income to help out the black community of Nashville. He gave over 100 free lectures and clinics. He and his wife did not charge indigent patients at Millie E. Hale Hospital, performing medical procedures for free and paying for medicines out of their own pocket. The family gradually converted their family home at 419 Fourth Ave South into a community center — a meeting place of numerous organizations working to improve the lives of local people. Hales distributed free food and provided home care to the poorest people in their community.
Personal life and death
Friends described Hale as a "colorful personality." He was a physically large man, often called "Big John." His friends and colleagues also noted Hale to be tempered and religious.
Hale married his first wife, Millie E. (Gibson) Hale, on December 20, 1905. They had three children: John Henry Jr. (1913–1914), Essie Margaret, and Mildred (Hale) Freeman (1908–1986). Mildred followed in her mother's footsteps, graduating from Fisk University. She was active in the black community and served on boards of the National Medical Association and Young Women's Christian Association. She promoted religion in the community, and worked as a nurse and a school teacher. She married Samuel Henry Freeman (1898–1949), Hale's student and later the first black doctor to receive master's degree in Orthopedics.
After his first wife's premature death in 1930, Hale married Carrie (Jordan) Hale (b. 1901). The couple then lived at 623 Seventh Avenue South, as Hale's first home remained a community center.
In his later years, Hale developed cardiovascular disease; however, he continued to operate, even exhibiting severe symptoms. He died on March 27, 1944, of coronary insufficiency at Hubbard Hospital, and was buried at in Greenwood Cemetery in Nashville.
Legacy
Hale is credited for significant and extensive contributions to the development of African-American medicine, teaching many young physicians who "beloved and admired" him. He became "famous" and "internationally known" for his medical work. Dr. Edward L. Turner, the president of Meharry Medical College in 1944, believed that Hale "had more influence than any other man in the encouragement and development of Negro surgeons." Hale's student, Matthew Walker Sr., who succeeded Hale at his post at Meharry, remembered Hale as "a brilliant teacher." His two other students remembered him as a professor who "captivated the student body."
Meharry colleagues eulogized Hale as the "dean of American Negro surgeons." A mural and a portrait of Hale was installed in Meharry Medical College in 1951 As of 2018, Hale was inducted into the Tennessee Healthcare Hall of Fame.
A 500-dwelling public housing project on Charlotte Avenue in Nashville was named after Hale, and as of 2013, served as a nationwide example of a successful HOPE VI development, a housing project with mixed-income integration.
The California chapter of the National Medical Association was named the John Hale Medical Society. At the time of its construction in 1969, a medical center at the corner of Fresno Street and Irwin Avenue in Fresno, California, was named the John Henry Hale Medical Center.
