Washington, Jan 31 (IANS) Israeli officials informed their US counterparts prior to an air strike along the Syria-Lebanon border, media reports said Thursday.
The Israeli air force's target Tuesday night was a convoy carrying anti-aircraft weapons and Russian-made anti-aircraft SA17 missiles from Syria to Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, Xinhua cited the New York Times as saying.
No official comment was made by the Israeli Defense Forces or any official.
The Syrian army said Israel bombed a "scientific research centre" northwest of the capital city of Damascus.
It said two people were killed in the attack and five were injured. The facility was also damaged.
The Syrian army denied that the target was a convoy delivering weapons.
The army's statement, cited by the official SANA news agency, also said the Israeli jets arrived from the north | , "flying at a low altitude and below radars".
It said the site has been targeted by "armed terrorist groups" in recent months, and also accused Israel of meddling in Syria's internal affairs.

Five days before Election Day, Gov. Christie made a bold and groundbreaking decision to allow for in-person early voting at county clerk’s offices across the state of NJ. He followed that up with an even bolder directive three days before Election Day, allowing email/fax voting of those displaced by Hurricane Sandy. Hoboken experienced massive devastation from this natural disaster and I applaud the governor’s swift and forward-thinking move.
Before Hurricane Sandy’s devastation, this was gearing up to be Hoboken’s most confusing election in our history. We were given the opportunity to vote on an incredibly full ballot, including choosing a U.S. President, U.S. | Senator, U.S. Congressional Representative, Hudson County Clerk, three Board of Education Trustees, and five very detailed ballot questions. We were asked to do this without receiving sample ballots and while receiving misinformation from local elected officials telling us that all polling places had stayed the same. This created mass confusion at the polls, causing many to go to the wrong polling places, and many of these to be illegally turned away. To further the confusion, training courses for poll workers, which are required by law and usually happen months before Election Day, were canceled and too many voter’s did not receive proper guidance.

Buried deep inside a recent interview
with Linus Torvalds was the revelation that he had moved away from KDE
and back to GNOME—which he famously abandoned in 2005. The
cause of that switch was the problems he had with KDE 4.0, which seems to
be a popular reaction to that release. Various media outlets,
Slashdot in particular, elevated Torvalds's switch to the headline of the
interview. That led, of course, to some loud complaints from the KDE community,
but also a much more
from KDE project lead Aaron Seigo. While it is somewhat interesting to
know Torvalds's choice for his desktop, there are other, more important issues
that stem from the controversy.
Never one to mince words, Torvalds is clear in his unhappiness: "I
used to be a KDE user. I thought KDE 4.0 was such a disaster, I switched to
GNOME." But, he does go on to acknowledge that he understands,
perhaps even partially agrees with, | the reasons behind it:
[...] but I think they did it
badly. They did so [many] changes, it was a half-baked release. It may turn
out to be the right decision in the end, and I will retry KDE, but I
suspect I'm not the only person they lost.
There has been a regular stream of reports of unhappy KDE users, with many
folks switching to GNOME due to KDE 4.0 not living up to their

This explains the problem. Back to the drawing board. It seems I've
misused fpos_t (ecasound compiles with glibc2.1 just by accident).
Unfortunately the reason why ended up using fpos_t and fsetpos/fgetpos

Washington, February 27, 2008—Conditions for domestic journalists remain poor in China despite the government’s promises to improve the press freedom environment before the Beijing Olympics, the Committee to Protect Journalists told the Congressional-Executive Commission on China today.
Bob Dietz, CPJ Asia Program Coordinator, told the commission in Washington that China is holding at least 25 reporters behind bars because of their work, many on vague security-related charges such as revealing state secrets or inciting subversion of state power.
“Media conditions in China do not reflect the sort of change we were assured we would see after Beijing was awarded the 2008 Olympic Games,” Dietz said. “The International Olympic Committee and the government assured skeptics that the influx of Olympic ideals would wean the government from its obsession with regulating the flow of information. That | has not happened.”
China has maintained its status as the world’s leading jailer of journalists since 1999, Dietz told the commission. More than half of the journalists behind bars are there for Internet-related activities.
He said that despite having the world’s greatest Internet censorship apparatus, the Chinese authorities seem unable to fully stem the flow of frank discussion that takes place via the Internet.

We are pleased (and amused) that judges agree with what foreclosure defense attorney Roy Oppenheim has repeatedly said. The mandatory foreclosure mediation is barely helping homeowners because the banks refuse to reach agreements with the borrowers.The Daily Business Review looked to state and bankruptcy judges to point out some of the main issues with the foreclosure mediation program. The Review sponsored a series of panel discussions where judges were asked to provide insight into the foreclosure mediation process.
Expanding the sanctions that could be imposed on banks was one of the better ideas presented. Chief Judge Peter Weinstein for the 17th Judicial Circuit made note of the fact that borrowers are placed at a disadvantage during mediation because the documents are getting lost by the lenders and borrowers are forced to submit the same paperwork several times.
Judge Weinstein believes some sort of sanction should be imposed to deter lenders from being careless with submitted paperwork. These concerns have been previously addressed by Oppenheim. Back in July, he specifically pointed out to that the banks are constantly loosing documents provided by borrowers and at the banks failure to come prepared to mediation.
“They did not show up to negotiate a solution,” he added. “There’s a systemic pattern here, and that pattern ultimately suggests evidence of sanctionable actions.”
Another concern with Florida | ’s mediation process was brought by Judge Ronald Dresnick, who said that the mandatory confidentiality during mediation also hinders borrowers from being able to reach an agreement with the lender during mediation.
What Judge Dresnick is suggesting is that if lenders are not mediating in good faith, then the mandatory confidentiality agreement should not stand and sanctions should be imposed.

Esteban Alvarado Kicks Fan: Goalkeeper Gets Red Card After Fan Interupts Ajax-AZ Alkmaar Match (VIDEO)
AMSTERDAM (AP) — The Dutch soccer federation is debating whether to replay a cup match between Ajax and AZ Alkmaar that was halted after a fan ran onto the field and tried to attack Alkmaar's goalkeeper.
Esteban Alvarado deflected the attack but was given a red card for kicking the supporter in anger immediately afterward.
Alkmaar's team left the field in protest and the game was halted in the 36th minute. Ajax was leading 1-0. The players' union has demanded that the red card be retracted.
The federation said Thursday it will decide soon whether Wednesday's match should be replayed, resumed, or have Ajax declared the winner.

St. John Lamont had a problem.
He knocked on the door of the anomaly and something unexpected happened.
It let him in.
He found himself inside a saloon that would be found in any city in Southeast Asia.
That in of itself was strange because Lamont, in both of his lives had never been to Southeast Asia.
” What’ll ya have Joe?”, asked a slightly accented female voice directly behind Lamont.
Lamont, obviously surprised by the voice almost gave himself a ruptured disk in his neck by turning around too fast, and gawked at the source; a petite, well muscled Asian woman standing behind a bar. Her almond eyes flashed a bright green that intimated an innate devilishness. The tattoos that covered both of her arms added to the illusion that this could be a real bar in any Southeast Asian city; Saigon, Singapore, Manila or Bangkok.
” Well, whatcha want Joe? Beer? Whiskey? Bourbon? Mixed? C’mon, I ain’t got all day!”, berated the small tattooed woman at Lamont, still disorientated by the surroundings.
” I guess | I’ll have a Corona “, he responded. Slowly, Lamont was recovering his wits, too slowly he thought.
The illusion around him, or more likely a highly advanced virtual reality environment, was perfect in every way. Lamont scanned the area and found that his senses were strangely muted, dulled.

A Great American Historical Moment Is Auctioned
Bidder Pays $2.1 Million for a Pivotal U.S. Document
By Jay Zimmer
There were 48 original copies of the great Emancipation Proclamation, all signed by President Abraham Lincoln in the closing months of 1862. The Civil War was raging, and at that point in the conflict, things were not going well for the Union forces.
Lincoln’s proclamation stated that as of the first day of 1863, all slaves in states then in rebellion were free, and that all offices of the United States including the federal government and the military were mandated to protect that freedom. It was pivotal in American history. Politically, Lincoln had no authority in the South; those states in rebellion had declared their own government, much as the original 13 colonies had done “fourscore and seven years” before.
Lincoln’s action was meant to sting and unsettle the Confederate government, concentrate their forces on finding and returning slaves who would run away upon hearing of the measure, and become an irritant to the South’s ability to wage war. Eventually it would lead to Army companies composed of African American troops who would fight their former masters in the blue uniform of the United States.

The Fatal Flaw of Obama's Mortgage Plan
Even if it works as promised, President Obama’s latest effort to aid the housing market won’t get at the root of the problem that housing poses for the economy.
As before, the president is trying to spur refinancing to lower monthly payments -- in this case, targeting “underwater” borrowers who owe more than their homes are worth.
If the plan works, it would make life easier for some families, but it won’t address how the crash in home prices continues to hinder economic growth. That’s because high monthly payments aren’t the problem -- excessive debt is.
Foreclosures are the most obvious effect of the housing crisis, but the broader damage comes from the way that sinking prices have wiped out home equity, down by $7 trillion, or more than 50%. For the first time, roughly half of homeowners owe 80% or more of the value of their homes. | This crushing debt has unbalanced the balance sheets and financial plans of most middle-class families, leading them to pull back on consumer spending, which accounts for 70% of economic activity.
Even if home prices start rising again, homeowners understand that it will take years, and perhaps decades, to make a dent in this enormous debt. | [

Why finish a prison sentence for murder when an inmate can just holler at some friends to hi jack a helicopter for an early unofficial exit. This guys life is a movie!!!
(Ria) Police in Russia’s Vologda Region are searching for a convicted murderer who escaped prison on board a helicopter, local security services said.
The incident occurred on Thursday morning at the high-security penal colony in the town of Sheksna.
The escapee, named as Alexei Shestakov by local police, who has served half of his 24-year term for murder, used a rope ladder to climb aboard the helicopter, a penitentiary service official told RIA Novosti.
Prison guards opened fire at the aircraft but failed to prevent the escape.
“The operative staff asks residents to maintain order and prevent panic and mass disorder,” the statement reads.
The Mil Mi-2 (Hoplite) helicopter, whose crew was apparently forced to fly towards the colony by the criminal’s accomplices, was discovered in the regional capital of Vologda, the penitentiary service official said. According to preliminary data, it belonged to a local firm.

Suggestions for a `Quintessentially Palm Beach’ Meal From Longtime PB Chefby M.M. Cloutier
With a 100-plus-year fine-dining tradition in Palm Beach, The Breakers has grown, in recent years, into a mini empire of restaurants.
The restaurants include such on-site open-to-the-public venues as The Circle (with a history that spans back to the early 20th century), The Seafood Bar, Flagler Steakhouse, The Italian Restaurant and The Tapestry Bar.
Off of resort grounds are open-to-the-public Breakers’ restaurants Echo, and Top of The Point, on the penthouse level of Phillips Point in downtown West Palm Beach.

.- In a message to a group of bishops and collaborators of the Focolare movement, who are meeting in Rome, Pope John Paul II stressed that only holiness can guarantee the fulfillment of the Christian mission to evangelize.
“In fact, only a Christian community shining with holiness can efficaciously fulfill the mission entrusted to it by Christ, that is, to spread the Gospel to the far ends of the earth,” the Pope stressed.
During today’s general audience, in the Paul VI Hall in the presence of 9,000 faithful, the Holy Father greeted the bishops and presented them his message for their annual meeting. The foundress of the Focolare Movement, Chiara Lubich, was also present at today’s audience.
Noting that their encounter is centered on the theme of holiness, the Pope told the bishops that “Vatican Council II reminded us that holiness is the vocation of every baptized person”. “The | universal character of the Church’s vocation to holiness,” he went on, “is a truth that represents one of the pillars of the conciliar constitution ‘Lumen Gentium’.”

Hail Mary Mallon – Are You Gonna Eat That? [Review]
Vancouver, B.C. – Mary Mallon, also known as “Typhoid Mary,” worked as a cook in the New York City area and was the first known healthy carrier of Typhoid Fever. While working as a cook she infected numerous clients until being confronted by Dr. Sara Josephine Baker and was quarantined several times before eventually passing away at the age of 69. Now, almost 75 years after her death Typhoid Mary has become the current inspiration for the new RhymeSayers “super-group” Hail Mary Mallon.

The Good Wife Review: Ping Pong
I felt like I was watching an Olympic ping-pong match during tonight's The Good Wife.
On "Boom De Ya Da," whether it was the West Nile/foreclosure story, the mediation or the Justice Department investigation, whenever it appeared the situation was going in Lockhart/Gardner's favor, something would occur to shift it back to their opponents.
The main case of the girl getting West Nile disease due to poorly maintained pools at foreclosed properties was quite a timely one. I've seen plenty of bank-owned homes that have fallen into disrepair over the last few years.
Instead of court, the story covered the depositions, negotiations and games | manship that occurs before the suit ever hits a courtroom. The back and forth was both exhilarating and exhausting to watch play out. Just when one side seemed to have a winning card to play, the other side would counter with their own move. Did the mosquito come from the foreclosed property's pools? No. Yes. But how did the girl get infected?

Morning tea that isn't Maté?
Every morning tea I’ve ever had has been maté because of the high caffeine, but are there teas other than maté for waking up? (except for relaxing teas obviously). I want to have a wider variety to choose from in my morning routine :)
Some strong black teas can be great for waking up, I’ve found Irish and Scottish breakfast blends to be especially so.
Guayusa! If not guayusa, try matcha – loads of caffeine.
I agree. I prefer guayusa over mate, it’s got a natural sweetness to it, and I find that straight guayusa blends with other teas far better than straight green mate. I add it to my other teas for added kick in the morning, without altering flavour too much.
I like the Chai Guarana by Davids Tea. It does have a bit of mate in it but it doesn’t taste like it at all.
lately, I prefer just making my genmaicha (my all around favorite tea) first thing, or I will do Numi’s cardamom pu erh tea.
I find it nearly impossible to start the day without a cup of rich black tea with a splash of milk, no sugar, no honey. Lately I’ve | been adoring Pride of the Port by Peet’s.

A judge has found a South African man guilty of killing Swedish newlywed Anni Dewani while she was on her honeymoon in Cape Town two years ago, amid claims her husband organised the hit.

Dewani, a Swede of Indian origin, had been married for just two weeks when she was killed in November 2010, in what prosecutors said was a faked hijacking.

Non-self-executing Treaties and Reverse Preemption
The Fifth Circuit earlier this month issued a highly unusual decision addressing whether state law could “reverse preempt” the New York Convention. As any student of international arbitration knows, state law occasionally attempts to limit the enforceability of arbitration agreements. | Such a policy is preempted by the New York Convention as implemented by the Federal Arbitration Act. But there is one narrow category of insurance disputes governed by the McCarran-Ferguson Act that is subject to a federal requirement of “reverse preemption.”

A Louisiana statute prohibits the arbitration of insurance disputes, domestic or international. | [

Manufacturing stumbles but seen regaining footing
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Manufacturing got off to a weak start this year as motor vehicle output tumbled in January, but a rebound in factory activity in New York state this month suggested any setback would be temporary.
In a further sign the sluggish economic recovery remains on track, consumers were a bit more upbeat early this month even as they paid more for gasoline and saw an increase in taxes reduce their paychecks, other data on Friday showed.
"The economy is on a slowly improving course and it's got enough headwinds that we are going to see some volatility in these month-by-month numbers," said Jerry Webman, chief economist at OppenheimerFunds in New York.
Manufacturing output fell 0.4 percent last month, the Federal Reserve said. But production in November and December was much stronger than previously thought and the 3.2 percent drop in auto output - the largest since August - followed two solid months, suggesting it was just a temporary pause.
"Given that most of the weakness was due to the give-back in motor vehicle production after the 11 percent surge in activity during the last two months | of last year, we expect this retreat in industrial output to be temporary," said Millan Mulraine, senior economist at TD Securities in New York.
In a separate report, the New York Federal Reserve Bank said its "Empire State" general business conditions index, which gauges factory activity in the state, rose to 10.0 from -7. | [

The New Contract: One Month of Hell & Counting!!!
How much more can we take?
By Camille Johnson
Humanities and the Arts High School
Randi is not a real teacher, so she would not understand the enormous impact of what she gave away in our current contract. Because she accepted an extra 37 1/2 minutes small group instruction period and a plethora of other givebacks for mere pennies, we are now suffering the ill effects of it in the classroom on a daily basis.
In my single session high school, teachers are doing the mandated tutoring during period 1 which means that we start work at 8:05 A.M.
For the professional activity period, many teachers have still another small group instruction period. This then means that the teachers now have to teach their 5 regular periods per day with up to 34 students in each class plus the mandated 37.5 minute period and the professional assignment, thus making it an interminable 7 period instructional day when it was five under the expired agreement | .
To add insult to injury after teaching an arduous 7 periods, teachers still have to stay twice per month after school for an 8th assigned period in the form of Faculty and Departmental conferences.

There are those of us who believe that technology should help human interactions by being unobtrusive and above all, discreet, taking note of increased sensitivities in western societies to the sanctity of an individual's privacy. Let's call that camp the curmudgeons. And there are those with no built-in scepticism about modern social networking tools such as facebook and twitter, willing to surrender more personal information than an army of Stasi informants could ever muster, and have that sold for profit by Mark Zuckerberg. Let's call them | the kids.
Well the curmudgeons were disgusted earlier this week when it emerged that facebook had taken liberties with the details that users has provided about themselves. So the curmudgeons insisted on 48 hours of facebook silence as a protest. The fact is though that on most days of the week you could find something to be disgusted by in the behaviour of the company with the shonkiest IPO in living memory. Which suggests that the day that we - and probably a | [

From time to time, readers of NEI Nuclear Notes have urged our industry to get more confrontational with our critics in the public space. Last night up in Peterborough, Ontario, one Greenpeace volunteer, Shawn-Patrick Stensil, ran straight into a number of industry advocates who had obviously had enough:
Early into Stensil's presentation Martyn Wash, general manager of the Organization of Candu Industries, asked Stensil if he was a scientist and questioned his credibility.While something tells me the conversation was probably a bit more substantive, this is something I'd like to see more of -- much like the work my colleague Lisa Stiles-Shell did last year when Helen Caldicott embarked | on her book tour.
The two got into a heated conversation during the question and answer portion of the evening, each accusing the other of providing misinformation.
"They come here and tell half-truths," Wash said, referring to Stensil and Greenpeace.
Wash told The Examiner Greenpeace bases their argument from facts and figures dating back to the ’50s and ’60s.
"Greenpeace presents a story based on falsehoods," Wash said.
It is important to have a dialogue on the future of nuclear energy, Wash said, but there needs | [

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is currently investigating the cause of fires in the 2010 Chrysler Jeep Wranglers.

Bernard Madoff's $50 billion Ponzi scheme has not helped soothe the fragile psyches of investors.
NEW YORK — Investors sent stocks slightly lower Monday as anxiety over the growing list of firms affected by investment manager Bernard Madoff and the potential losses to the financial sector took center stage on Wall Street.
Investors also were nervous ahead of earnings reports later this week from the country's two largest investment banks, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Morgan Stanley.
Stocks had traded mixed early on as investors were relieved to hear that President George W. Bush was working on providing short-term government help for the auto industry. The Senate's rejection of a $14 billion bailout for automakers last week had raised the possibility of a major bankruptcy, which some analysts say would result in as many as 3 million U.S. job losses next year.
But as that fear eased somewhat, it gave way to concerns about companies' exposure to Madoff's fund. Well respected in the investment community after serving as chairman of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Madoff was arrested Thursday for orchestrating what prosecutors say was a $50 billion Ponzi scheme to defraud investors.
Firms with | exposure include HSBC Holdings PLC, Banco Santander, BNP Paribas, Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC and hedge fund Man Group PLC.
"The investor psyche is already quite fragile. Scandals like this just add fuel to the fire," said Alan Gayle, senior investment strategist for RidgeWorth Capital Management.

How the CIA got the world to buy American during the Cold War.
After being rejected by a number of large publishers, John Perkins sold his memoirs to a smallish press called Berrett Koehler in 2004. Confessions of an Economic Hitman —equal parts political exposé and James Bond novel—recounts his role in what he claims is a carefully choreographed effort by the U.S. government to promote American commercial interests abroad. In Perkins' retelling, everything from economic advising to CIA paramilitary operations served the same master: U.S. corporate interests. Confessions struck a chord among believers in grassy knolls and Roswell and became a best-seller. (Berret claims on its Web site that 850,000 copies have been sold, making the book its top-seller ever.) The State Department responded with "Confessions—or Fantasies—of | an Economic Hit Man," a document disputing many of Perkins' claims of government involvement.
But conspiracy theories die hard. Is the State Department response setting the record straight, or is it just a coverup? Though most of Perkins' book may be pulp fiction—we'll probably never be able to verify his tales of payoffs, espionage, and sexual escapades—one of his claims just received unexpected confirmation from a group of serious scholars.

If observers had any doubts about the failure of the U.S. counterinsurgency strategy in Afghanistan, the past several days should have put them to rest. Since Feb. 21, anti-U.S. protests have erupted in virtually every major Afghan city over the revelation that American personnel had burned Qurans at Bagram Airfield, the largest U.S. installation in the country. The demonstrations have at times turned violent, claiming the lives of at least seven Afghans. This wave of protest is just the latest example of how the United States has botched its attempt to win "hearts and minds" in Afghanistan, and another indicator that its war effort is heading toward failure.
But that's not the message you would hear from U.S. officials. To hear them tell it, the United States has already taken action to prevent such shocking displays of cultural insensitivity from happening again. "When we learned of these actions, we immediately intervened and stopped them," U.S. General John R. Allen, the commander of the international force in Afghanistan, said in his apology. "We are thoroughly investigating the incident and we are taking steps to ensure this does not ever happen again."
If this episode sounds familiar, it should.
| Lt. Col. Daniel L. Davis has traveled over 9,000 miles across Afghanistan to learn a simple lesson: public statements made from podiums in Washington and Kabul bear little resemblance to the reality of the Afghan war. The 17-year U.S. Army veteran spent most of his time in the insurgency-enflamed provinces in the east and south, and was shaken to discover the U.S. military leadership's glowing descriptions of progress against the Taliban insurgency did not jibe with the accounts of American soldiers on the front lines of the war.

"Different properties have different business models. Caesars still has a very large percentage of total revenue from gambling — and Caesars will still focus on gambling — while Revel has major entertainment revenue," said Israel Posner, executive director of the Lloyd D. Levenson Institute of Gaming, Hospitality and Tourism at Stockton College. "The fact that they all have casinos doesn't mean they mix amenities and marketing in the same way, so you can't assume everyone is willing to decrease gambling to increase their nongaming percentages."
Excluding Revel, industry-wide net revenue fell 8.1 percent in the second quarter of the 2012 compared to the previous year, according to a report by the state Division of Gaming Enforcement. However, a 13.3 percent spike in revenue from rooms, food and beverage, retail and entertainment — 11.5 percent of which was attributed to Revel — offset the loss in gaming revenue, since including Revel in the data yielded a significantly smaller 1.7 percent decrease in net revenue.
Though a | spokesman for the Atlantic City Alliance said it’s unclear how much of an impact the “Do AC” campaign had on the data — since it launched at the start of the second quarter of the year — he noted it has “certainly expanded upon what the casinos themselves do to market nongaming activities.”
“Our job is marketing the overall destination, not just marketing particular properties. But we work with each independently to ensure our objectives align with theirs,” the spokesman said. “With the Rock of Ages experience at Caesars we’re marketing through social media right now, it | [

In 2005, Panic at the Disco's debut, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, arrived overflowing with logorrheic song titles, histrionic hooks, and teenage angst. It earned them a platinum record, but also scores of skeptics -- among them the band's own guitarist/lyricist Ryan Ross (okay, almost). "I can't knock that album too much," says Ross. "For a bunch of 17-year-old kids, we did the best we could with what we knew about music then." Now, after discovering what Ross casually refers to as "the whole British '60s rock'n'roll thing," the Las Vegas quartet have recorded Pretty. Odd., which reveals a surprisingly different sound that might strike fans as...well, you know.
What happened to your exclamation point?
It was never that big of a deal to us. When we started getting ready to do the new record, we were asked if we wanted to keep it, and we just said no. I hope we made some copy editor's life a little bit easier.
Why did you scrap most of the material you were originally working on for this album?
I had wanted to write a musical and maybe stage it in New | York or L.A. It was a love story set in this animated, fantastical world. But we got halfway through some demos and I couldn't figure out how to finish it, so we decided to do a rock'n'roll album instead.

The power operator binds more tightly than unary operators on its left; it binds less tightly than unary operators on its right. The syntax is:
Thus, in an unparenthesized sequence of power and unary operators, the operators are evaluated from right to left (this does not constrain the evaluation order for the operands).
The power operator has the same semantics as the built-in pow() function, when called with two arguments: it yields its left argument raised to the power of its right argument. The numeric arguments are first converted to a common type. The result type is that of the arguments after coercion.
With mixed operand types, the coercion rules for binary arithmetic
operators apply. For int and long int operands, the result has the

is negative; in that case, all arguments are converted to float | and a
