Apple updates iBooks & iTunes U with fresh, flatter looks for iOS 7
Apple on Thursday issued a major update for its iBooks application, giving it a cleaner and simpler look in line with the company's design for the iOS 7 platform.
iBooks version 3.2 for both iPhone and iPad is now available for download from the iOS App Store. The free update ditches the skeuomorphic look of its predecessor in favor of a simplified appearance.
While iBooks previously feature a digital wooden bookshelf that would rotate like a hidden entrance to access the iBookstore, the new application features a greyish-white background where titles are displayed. Accessing the store now simply jumps to a new window where titles can be purchased.
The iBooks icon for iOS has also been updated with an orange gradient background behind a white illustration of an open book.
The same color scheme is also used in the new icon for iTunes U version 1.4, which features a graduate's cap as the centerpiece of its logo. Its new virtual bookshelf is similar in appearance to the redesign of iBooks.
The release notes for both updates state that the applications have been given "an all-new look and feel" bringing them in line with iOS 7.
With Thursday's updates, almost all of Apple's downloadable applications for iOS 7 have been updated with fresh new looks for iOS 7. The most significant remaining outlier is Find My Friends, which continues to feature skeuomorphic stitched leather textures prominently throughout the application. | 53,477,461 |

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a semiconductor chip package and printed circuit board assembly including the same, and more particularly, to a semiconductor chip package which is flexible in mounting direction and a printed circuit board assembly including the same.
2. Description of the Related Art
Semiconductor chip packages are often used in electronic equipment. A semiconductor chip package generally includes a semiconductor chip with an internal circuit and a plurality of connecting leads connected to the internal circuit. The connecting leads are mounted on an external component such as a printed circuit board, for example. The semiconductor chip package transmits predetermined signals to the internal circuit through the connecting leads mounted on the printed circuit board.
The semiconductor chip package is mounted in a predetermined direction on the printed circuit board. For example, the connecting leads of the semiconductor chip package may be mounted on the printed circuit board in accordance with a predetermined convention such as a pin-map for the semiconductor chip package, for example. To ensure that the semiconductor chip package is positioned correctly, a specific indicator such as a first connecting lead, for example, is provided.
However, the semiconductor chip package may still be positioned incorrectly on the printed circuit board by operator mistake, for example, causing the semiconductor chip package to malfunction and damaging the internal circuit inside the semiconductor chip package. | 53,477,864 |
Sumomomo, Momomo, Volume 11: The Strongest Bride on Earth
Review
Treachery is afoot in this latest volume of Sumomomo, Momomo. The plot to kill the Dragon and the Dog is in its final stages of preparation, and the young heroes are scrambling to undermine the nefarious plot of the nine rebellious clans.
"Shinobu Ohtaka knows how to make tensions run as high as they can go and then push them even further, like a seasoned martial artist always training to push his/her limits."
For months, Iroha Miyamoto of the Snake Clan has been working to rebuild her clan, but once again, the conniving Tenten Koganei is still a step ahead of her. Everyone is putting their plans into action to ignite a great war, and there seems little that can be done to prevent it, unless of course Koushi succeeds in his training in the Koganei Village Wall Lap Survival Training Zone. In order to do that, he’ll have to overcome the giant tiger that rules the jungle he has been cast into. Good thing he has the jungle’s ape population to support him.
Even after Koushi’s training ends, he needs to learn to harness his Shikago abilities, which can disable a martial artist’s abilities and render them powerless. The only problem is, if he does, then that could leave Tenga completely helpless when Yuusuke Endo of the Monkey Clan is pitted against him in a final showdown. In the final stage of the plan, Yuusuke and Koushi are set to fight in a giant stadium in front of both armies screaming for Koushi’s death. Koushi has grown strong in these past days under Tenga’s tutelage, but will he survive the strongest candidate for leader that the Eastern Army can produce?
Shinobu Ohtaka knows how to make tensions run as high as they can go and then push them even further, like a seasoned martial artist always training to push his/her limits. This amazing manga isn’t over yet, but it feels like it could end at any given moment. | 53,477,943 |
Q:
What decides which python class' main() is run
I'm trying to make a tool that displays parameterized data on a dedicated monitor.
Following what I've learned in java, I name the method containing the "calling" code main(). I then call this main() at the end of the file. The problem is, for some reason when I run python file1 in the command prompt, it runs the main from file2. File1 imports file 2, but since avoided the namespace collision over main() by not writing from file2 import*, I'm not sure it's running the other file's main().
I'm running windows 7 Ultimate, python 3.4
A:
The main is just a Python variable that points to the function object. If you assign the main a different value, you loose the reference to the original function. If you define the main after the import, then your own main will be used.
Update: If both file1.py and file2.py contain the definition of the main() function and if both call it in the file -- say as the last line in its own file, and if the file1.py does import file2--but does not from file2 import * after the main() definition in the file1.py--then both main() functions will be called. The file2.main() is called during the import file2 (the first import in the application only), and the file1.main() is going to be called when the main() call in file1.py is found.
Whenever xxx.py is launched as a script, it is processed in the order of the source text. Processing of a definition means compilation of the definition, when a command is found during the first read, it is executed (actually after compilation to xxx.pyc first).
The only way to avoid execution of a code in your file is to jump over the code fragment using if with suitable condition. This is why the pattern
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
is used in the sources. (Which actually is the execution of the code -- only the branch of the if is skipped.) Read it... If the file is launched as a script, then the __name__ variable takes the string value '__main__', the condition holds and the main() from this file is called.
If the same pattern is used in the file2.py, and the file is used as a module (that is import file2), then the __name__ variable contains the name of the imported module (here file2), and the condition does not hold. Because of that, the main() from inside file2.py is not called.
The pattern is often used even in the files that are expected to be used as modules only. The code is usually used for testing the basic functionality of the module. Think about the situation when the author of the module makes some changes. Then he/she launches it as a script (which is not usually doney), and the body starts testing of the module and reports the result -- say using unittest module or whatever kind of testing. So, the file2.main() would be a good place to activate unit testing, for example.
Try to add the following to the end of your file1.py:
print(__name__)
print(file2.__name__)

GREENBELT, Md. A team of scientists have used the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on NASA's Aura satellite to confirm major reductions in the levels of a key air pollutant generated by coal power plants in the eastern United States. The pollutant, sulfur dioxide, contributes to the formation of acid rain and can cause serious health problems.
The scientists, led by an Environment Canada researcher, have shown that sulfur dioxide levels in the vicinity of major coal power plants have fallen by nearly half since 2005. The new findings, the first satellite observations of this type, confirm ground-based measurements of declining sulfur dioxide levels and demonstrate that scientists can potentially measure levels of harmful emissions throughout the world, even in places where ground monitoring is not extensive or does not exist. About two-thirds of sulfur dioxide pollution in American air comes from coal power plants. Geophysical Research Letters published details of the new research this month.
The scientists attribute the decline in sulfur dioxide to the Clean Air Interstate Rule, a rule passed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 2005 that called for deep cuts in sulfur dioxide emissions. In response to that rule, many power plants in the United States have installed desulfurization devices and taken other steps that limit the release of sulfur dioxide. The rule put a cap on emissions, but left it up to power companies to determine how to reduce emissions and allowed companies to trade pollution credits.
While scientists have used the Ozone Monitoring Instrument to observe sulfur dioxide levels within large plumes of volcanic ash and over heavily polluted parts of China in the past, this is the first time they have observed such subtle details over the United States, a region of the world that in comparison to fast-growing parts of Asia now has relatively modest sulfur dioxide emissions. Just a few decades ago, sulfur dioxide pollution was quite severe in the United States. Levels of the pollutant have dropped by about 75 percent since the 1980s due largely to the passage of the Clean Air Act.
Vitali Fioletov, a scientist based in Toronto at Environment Canada, and his colleagues developed a new mathematical approach that made the improved measurements a reality. The approach centers on averaging measurements within a 30 miles radius (50 km) of a sulfur dioxide source over several years. "Vitali has developed an extremely powerful technique that makes it possible to detect emissions even when levels of sulfur dioxide are about four times lower than what we could detect previously," said Nickolay Krotkov, a researcher based at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., and a coauthor of the new paper.
The technique allowed Fioletov and his colleagues to pinpoint the sulfur dioxide signals from the 40 largest sulfur dioxide sources in the United States generally coal power plants that emit more than 70 kilotons of sulfur dioxide per year. The scientists observed major declines in sulfur dioxide emissions from power plants in Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia by comparing levels of the pollutant for an average of the period 2005 to 2007 with another average from 2008 to 2010.
"What we're seeing in these satellite observations represents a major environmental accomplishment," said Bryan Bloomer, an Environmental Protection Agency scientist familiar with the new satellite observations. "This is a huge success story for the EPA and the Clean Air Interstate Rule," he said.
The researchers focused their analysis on the United States to take advantage of the presence of a robust network of ground-based instruments that monitor sulfur dioxide emissions inside power plant smokestacks. The ground-based instruments have logged a 46 percent decline in sulfur dioxide levels since 2005 a finding consistent with the 40 percent reduction observed by OMI.
"Now that we've confirmed that the technique works, the next step is to use it for other parts of the world that don't have ground-based sensors," said Krotkov. "The real beauty of using satellites is that we can apply the same technique to the entire globe in a consistent way." In addition, the team plans to use a similar technique to monitor other important pollutants that coal power plants release, such as nitrogen dioxide, a precursor to ozone.
OMI, a Dutch and Finnish built instrument, was launched in 2004, as one of four instruments on the NASA Aura satellite, and can measure sulfur dioxide more accurately than any satellite instrument flown to date. Though OMI remains in very good condition and scientists expect it to continue producing high-quality data for many years, the researchers also hope to use data from an upcoming Dutch-built OMI follow-on instrument called TROPOMI that is expected to launch on a European Space Agency satellite in 2014.
On July 6, 2011, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR), requiring 27 states to significantly reduce power plant emissions that contribute to ozone and fine particle pollution in other states. This rule replaces EPA's 2005 Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR). A December 2008 court decision kept the requirements of CAIR in place temporarily but directed EPA to issue a new rule to implement Clean Air Act requirements concerning the transport of air pollution across state boundaries. This action responds to the court's concerns.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to an aerosol container having a discharge nozzle member disposed on a distal end of a container body with a content stored therein and for discharging the content onto the sole of a foot by stepping on the discharge nozzle member.
2. Description of the Related Art
When a chemical, such as an insecticide, a refrigerant or the like, is applied to the sole of a foot or between adjacent toes using an aerosol container, the user usually holds the aerosol container with the hand and applies the content directly to the sole, etc. or collects a proper quantity of the content by a hand and then applies it to the sole, etc., while maintaining the attitude of bending the knee or sitting in a chair or sitting on the floor.
Also, the conventional aerosol container generates an offensive sound to the ear when the content liquid is applied, and produces high injection sound by which the use is easy to be recognized.
Moreover, the aerosol container has a stem disposed at a distal end portion of the container body which stores therein an application liquid (content liquid) air-tight. The application liquid is discharged from the nozzle member by depressing the nozzle member mounted on this stem against a resilient force. In order to prevent the application liquid from being accidentally discharged by inadvertently depressing the nozzle portion when the aerosol container is not in use, a device is disclosed, for example, in Japanese Utility Model Unexamined Publication (Kokai) No. Sho 55-82428, in which the nozzle member is turned to be locked so that the nozzle member cannot be depressed when not in use. According to this locking mechanism, when the aerosol container is in use, the application liquid can be discharged by turning the nozzle member towards a releasing side and then depressing the same. However, the nozzle member is not automatically resorted to its locked position even if depression against the nozzle member is released. Instead, it is necessary to return the nozzle member to its locked position by turning the nozzle member with a hand or the like. Since the user is likely to forget to perform such a locking operation, there is a possibility that the application liquid is inadvertently discharged by incorrect handling of the device.
A nozzle member of an aerosol container described in a Japanese Patent Application No. Hei 11-140094 filed by the present applicant is designed such that a nozzle lower part is engaged in an engagement recess of a lower surface of a nozzle upper part to form a perforated discharge nozzle member in which the nozzle upper part and the nozzle lower part are formed into a unitary member. In order to maintain the air-tightness of a liquid passage interposed between the nozzle upper part and the nozzle lower part, it is desirable that they are engaged together in a hermetically closed condition through an O-ring. However, according to such a seal construction as in the abovementioned nozzle member, in which a lower nozzle part is fixedly attached to a nozzle upper part by bringing the lower nozzle part into engagement with the engagement recess of a nozzle upper part through an O-ring, play tends to occur in the attaching direction after engagement. As a consequence, a sufficiently large compressive force cannot be incurred to the O-ring. Thus, there is a fear that sealability is spoiled.
It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide an aerosol container and a method of using the same, capable of easily applying a content such as a chemical to the sole or between the adjacent toes of the foot without a need of the abovementioned troublesome operation.
It is also another object of the present invention to provide an aerosol container, in which an injection sound generated when the content liquid is applied can easily be reduced to the extent that it is hardly offensive to the ear and that the use cannot be recognized.
A further object of the present invention is to provide an aerosol container capable of easily preventing accidental discharge by automatically restoring a nozzle member into a locked position when the depression against the nozzle member is released.
A still further object of the present invention is to provide an aerosol container including a discharge nozzle member in which a nozzle upper member and a nozzle lower member are formed into a unitary member and a reliable sealability is retained.
The present invention has achieved the above objects by providing an aerosol container having a discharge nozzle member disposed on a distal end of a container body with a content stored therein and for discharging the content onto a sole of a foot by stepping on the discharge nozzle member, wherein projections are provided at a location surrounding nozzle ports formed in the discharge nozzle member and an interval between the sole side of a foot and the nozzle ports is retained by the projections when the discharge nozzle member is stepped on.
It is preferred that the discharge nozzle member is a perforated discharge nozzle member provided with a plurality of nozzle ports, and that the projections surround the plurality of nozzle ports.
The present invention has achieved the above objects by providing an aerosol container, wherein the discharge nozzle member is provided with sound-reduction means.
It is preferred that the sound-reduction means is structured by an annular wall arranged as the projections surrounding the nozzle ports, and an upper end of the annular wall is defined as an opening having a size dimension capable of covering the sole of a foot.
Also, the present invention has achieved the above objects by providing an aerosol container, wherein a skirt member is mounted on a peripheral surface of the container body in such a manner as to surround a stem of the container body to which the discharge nozzle member is attached such that, when the discharge nozzle member is rotated with respect to the skirt member, the perforated discharge nozzle member is brought into a depressible position and when the depression is released, the perforated discharge nozzle member is brought into an undepressible position.
Also, the present invention has achieved the above objects by providing an aerosol container, wherein the discharge nozzle member comprises a nozzle lower part fixedly engaged in an engagement recess, which is formed in a lower surface of a nozzle upper part, in a hermetically closed condition through an O-ring, and wherein a seal construction for hermetically closing the nozzle upper part and the nozzle lower part comprises a recess annular inclination surface formed by an outwardly or inwardly tapered abutment surface of the O-ring disposed in the engagement recess and a lower part annular inclination surface formed by an inwardly or outwardly tapered abutment surface of the O-ring and disposed in opposite relation to the recess annular inclination surface, the O-ring being inserted and sandwiched between the recess annular inclination surface and the lower part annular inclination surface in its compressed condition.
Also, the present invention has achieved the above objects by providing a method of using an aerosol container comprising the step of stepping on a discharge nozzle member disposed at a distal end of an aerosol container with a content stored therein, to thereby discharge the content onto a sole of a foot so that the foot can be treated with the content.
According to the aerosol container and the method of using an aerosol container of the present invention, the content is directly discharged to the sole of a foot by the depressing force caused by the stepping operation. Accordingly, the content such as a chemical or the like can easily be applied to the sole of a foot or between the adjacent toes without a need of maintaining the attitude of bending the knee or sitting.
If the discharge nozzle member of the aerosol container of the present invention is provided with the sound-reduction means, an injection sound generated when the content liquid is applied can easily be reduced to the extent that it is hardly offensive to the ear and that the use cannot be recognized.
Also, if a skirt member is mounted on a peripheral surface of the container body in such a manner as to surround a stem of the container body to which the discharge nozzle member is attached such that, when the discharge nozzle member is rotated with respect to the skirt member, the discharge nozzle member is brought into a depressible position and when the depression is released, the discharge nozzle member is brought into an undepressible position, accidental discharge can easily be prevented by automatically restoring a nozzle member into a locked position when the depression against the nozzle member is released.
Also, if the discharge nozzle member comprises a nozzle lower part fixedly engaged in an engagement recess, which is formed in. a lower surface of a nozzle upper part, in a hermetically closed condition through an O-ring, and wherein a seal construction for hermetically closing the nozzle upper part and the nozzle lower part comprises a recess annular inclination surface formed by an outwardly or inwardly tapered abutment surface of the O-ring disposed in the engagement recess and a lower part annular inclination surface formed by an inwardly or outwardly tapered abutment surface of the O-ring and disposed in opposite relation to the recess annular inclination surface, the O-ring being inserted and sandwiched between the recess annular inclination surface and the lower part annular inclination surface in its compressed condition, the aerosol container of the present invention can be provided with a discharge nozzle member in which a nozzle upper member and a nozzle lower member are formed into a unitary member and a reliable sealability is retained. | 53,478,135 |

Knowledge-Sharing Architects as an Alternative to Coding Architects - signa11
http://ithare.com/knowledge-sharing-architects-as-an-alternative-to-coding-architects/
======
structorg
Let's start by defining architect. Where the business model is charging for
hours(consultancy) or bureaucracy is the rule; the architect is like a ming
dinasty china jar next in usefulness to the scrum master. He can't really
apply the principles of software quality since attributes like conceptual
integrity, reusability, modularity, loose coupling and maintainability are not
aligned with "picking the fad framework that average joe can be productive
with and charge the client for those 20 reports instead of a reporting engine
that can be parameterized, lets then use unit tests and code reviews to cheat
ourselves into believing we're making quality stuff". Its different when the
team is developing a product that is also the business model where resources
are never enough and there is no room for bullshit, then the architect is the
guy that can sketch that reporting engine that will be nurtured and improved
by the team, therefore he both codes and shares knowledge.
~~~
no-bugs
To be clear: I was NOT speaking of the first one :-). As for the second one:
> the architect is the guy that can sketch that reporting engine that will be
> nurtured and improved by the team,
Yes (in fact, I LOVE this definition ;-)).
> therefore he both codes and shares knowledge.
Not necessarily, and that's the whole point. Initial development (as noted in
the article) is one of the exceptions - but "sketching a thing that will be
improved" (which I agree with) is VERY different from "working day in and day
out on improving it" (which I do NOT like). And this difference is the whole
point of the article.
------
polskibus
Most of the concerns in the article can be alleviated by embracing Domain-
Driven Design. Express Domain Model in code, create and share Ubiquitous
Language - common for business and development within a single Bounded
Context. In such case an architect modeling abstractions does it already in
code - less translations, less room for waste. Code is the ultimate
representation of Domain, even when diagrams, etc. become out of date. Not to
mention that knowledge-sharing through collaboration is a fundamental process
in DDD, for which everyone is responsible.
~~~
NhanH
Is this comment a sarcastic response ? I really couldn't tell.
~~~
polskibus
It wasn't meant to be sarcastic. In my opinion coding vs knowledge architect
is false dichotomy if you embrace DDD.
~~~
DanielBMarkham
Yes and no.
Ubiquitous language depends on agreement between all the major stakeholders --
technology and business alike (That's why it's ubiquitous)
I'd shoot for that, and give DDD a pass. It's difficult, nary impossible, to
get even medium-sized groups of people in alignment in regards to language. So
do the analysis, keep working on that, and leave the code to the coders.
That's a win.
But it ain't architecture. It's analysis.
Sidebar: does anybody _do_ analysis any more? I see either complete neglect of
it, it being done as some sort of rote order-taking, or as the full-pass-
through OOA/D/P in the GP.

In case studies with formal methods, specification languages like Z are used
to make the requirements more clear. Such methods have shown to work pretty
well with both programmers and laypersons learning it easily. This means a
separate methodology or whatever might not be necessary if we just needed a
less, ambiguous language. Of which there are many with some having tool
support.
Example of one methodology that uses Z in safety-critical field with low
defect results:

DanielBMarkham
I think perhaps you do not understand what I am saying.
Yes, there are quite a few such tools which allow laypeople and coders to come
to an agreement. My point was about coming to and maintaining that agreement.
Not how exactly you would go about doing that.
I could think of about half-a-dozen good ways to formalize a domain. But even
if your process is nothing more than "come to this room and let's talk"? It's
difficult to get many people with many other duties in such a situation as
much as it would be required.
Don't forget -- and I'm sure you haven't -- that it's not just formalizing a
language and grammar. It's the fact that these change over time as
participants become more absorbed in the domain and see the same concepts from
various viewpoints.
~~~
polskibus
Which tools would you recommend for achieving agreement ? Any particular
technique or framework ?

Good read but it seems to me that the author escapes the difficulty of his
side of the argument by creating a God-like super-architect. Hiring someone
with the level of talent the author is describing would probably lead to great
outcomes no matter what. If the team structure is broken that person would fix
it. I'm not very familiar with the debate but I'd like to see a structure that
works for the "average" architect since most people are probably closer to
that.
~~~
no-bugs
> by creating a God-like super-architect.
Interesting point of view, never thought along these lines. On the other hand,
thinking a bit about it - I don't feel that this approach requires a super-
architect; what it requires is a DECENT architect (which is a prerequisite for
any successful project anyway).
In other words - sure, architect should be one of the best coders - but if he
isn't, the project is doomed anyway (and having "the best of the bunch" is
always possible - by definition).

Reading the code of others is no substitute for writing code yourself.
It's very easy when looking at the solution to a problem to say "I would've
thought of that" and maybe you're right. But maybe not.
Having real experience of the consequences of your decisions, keeping skin in
the game, is also important. Maybe not for every single decision, but a
representative sample.

Every other time I've seen architects used on the business end, you wind up
with huge messes that take a long time to produce anything of business value
while developers basically sit idle or flail around trying to build prototypes
based upon very vague ideas. This isn't to say it's useless, but YAGNI
principle is violated on the business side _very_ frequently and costs
themselves significantly. You tend to get messes that define an entire lexicon
of thought down to minutiae like DoDaF

I think this presents a false dilemma, ie it doesn't need to be coding vs non-
coding. You can code and knowledge share also. Especially if you pair program
or focus on collabitive coding techniques. It doesn't need to be one or the
other.
~~~
gedy
Yeah exactly - frankly, I think some of it may be that many teams are
micromanaged in their day-to-day, hour-to-hour tasks, and it's tough to be a
knowledge sharing leader and still code.

An interesting read, but if you're going this route how do you ensure that
there are viable career paths for senior people who prefer to focus on code
over "knowledge-sharing" kind of activities?
I suspect that part of the answer might lie in recognising that a lot of
software projects _don 't_ need a particularly scalable development approach.

From what I've seen, those Senior and Really Strong people who prefer to code,
do NOT even want to become architects (and to move their career beyond Really
Really Really Senior Developer - whatever the name this position carries). But
this is a different problem (at least in part related to too much
responsibility and "comfort zones"), and I don't know of any solution for
it...

m-i-l
I'd have thought that what the article refers to as "coding architect" would
be a dev lead in many organisations, and the role of "knowledge-sharing
architect" is the traditional software architect role, i.e. someone who comes
from a coding background and understands code well but isn't one of the core
developers (so doesn't risk getting lost in the details, becoming a
bottleneck, etc.).

I've seen it called "senior developer", although nowadays this is used a bit
inflationary.

Rustenburg - Food and Allied Workers Union (Fawu) members will go on strike at Choppies supermarkets in five provinces, the union said on Monday.
"About 2 000 members of the Fawu working at the Choppies supermarkets in five provinces will embark on a legal national strike action as from 06h00 on Tuesday, 24th April 2018 in pursuit of wage demands for the bargaining period of the 2018/19 financial year," general secretary Katishi Masemola said.
"Following two sessions of attempted dispute resolution at the CCMA [Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration], a certificate of non-resolution was issued and Fawu has dispatched a 48-hour notice to the company on Friday, 20 April 2018 notifying management of its intention to engage in industrial action."
He said all 33 supermarkets in Limpopo, Mpumalanga, North West, Free State and Gauteng would go on strike.
The workers demand a R4 000 monthly minimum wage or ten percent increment, whichever is greater, rationalisation of hours of work to 40 a week and 13th cheque. | 53,478,729 |

Brief Biography of F. Scott Fitzgerald
F. Scott Fitzgerald grew up in Minnesota, attended a few private schools (where his performance was mediocre), and went to Princeton University. In 1917, Princeton put Fitzgerald on academic probation. He enlisted in the Army. On base in Alabama in 1918, he met and fell in love with Zelda Sayre, who refused to marry him unless he could support her. He returned to New York to pursue fame and fortune. The publication of his first novel, This Side of Paradise, in 1920, made Fitzgerald a literary star. He married Zelda one week later. In 1924, the couple moved to Paris, where Fitzgerald began work on The Great Gatsby. Though now considered his masterpiece, the novel sold only modestly. The Fitzgeralds returned to the United States in 1927. Fitzgerald published several more novels, including Tender is the Night (1933), but none matched the success of his first. Deep in debt because of their ritzy lifestyle, the Fitzgeralds began to spiral into alcoholism and mental illness. Fitzgerald died of a heart attack on December 21, 1940. Zelda died eight years later in a fire.

Historical Context of The Great Gatsby
Fitzgerald coined the term "Jazz Age" to refer to the period more commonly known as the Roaring Twenties. Jazz is an American style of music marked by its complex and exuberant mix of rhythms and tonalities. The Great Gatsby portrays a similarly complex mix of emotions and themes that reflect the turbulence of the times. Fresh off the nightmare of World War I, Americans were enjoying the fruits of an economic boom and a renewed sense of possibility. But in The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald's stresses the darker side of the Roaring Twenties, its undercurrent of corruption and its desperate, empty decadence.
Other Books Related to The Great Gatsby
Modernist fiction attempted to represent the sense of emptiness and disillusionment that dominated Europe and the United States after World War I. In this way, Gatsby can be considered as related to such modernist works as James Joyce's Ulysses (1922) and Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway (1925). But The Great Gatsby and all of Fitzgerald's works are best compared to those written by other Americans such as Ernest Hemingway, members of the "Lost Generation" of American writers who moved to Europe after World War I. All these writers depicted the reality, corruption, and sadness of the human condition, but Fitzgerald most effectively portrayed the American cultural moment he called the "Jazz Age."

Extra Credit for The Great Gatsby
Puttin' on the Fitz. Fitzgerald spent most of his adult life in debt, often relying on loans from his publisher, and even his editor, Maxwell Perkins, in order to pay the bills. The money he made from his novels could not support the high-flying cosmopolitan life his wife desired, so Fitzgerald turned to more lucrative short story writing for magazines like Esquire. Fitzgerald spent his final three years writing screenplays in Hollywood.
Another Failed Screenwriter. Fitzgerald was an alcoholic and his wife Zelda suffered from serious mental illness. In the final years of their marriage as their debts piled up, Zelda stayed in a series of mental institutions on the East coast while Fitzgerald tried, and largely failed, to make money writing movie scripts in Hollywood. | 53,478,961 |
Glaser floats Clinton-PRC compromise
MIL-MIL STAKE China expert Bonnie Glaser said any agreement reached on Taiwan would probably not include something so direct as the cessation of weapons sales
By William Lowther / STAFF REPORTER IN WASHINGTON
A US expert on China said that US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will likely refuse to make a deal on arms sales to Taiwan when she visits Beijing later this month. But a compromise — based on President Ma Ying-jeou's (馬英九) pro-China policies — might be reached.
Bonnie Glaser, a specialist at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), said China would probably ask the US to end arms sales to Taiwan in return for restarting its military-to-military relationship with Washington.
Beijing ended the “mil-mil” contacts last year after former president George W. Bush announced a new arms sales package to Taipei.
Speaking at a special CSIS briefing on Clinton's upcoming six-day Asia trip, Glaser said: “The Chinese are certainly pleased that she is heading out to the region very early. Human-rights issues will not be a centerpiece of this visit. It is very much a tone-setting visit for what is a complex agenda and relationship.”
Glaser said that if the trip were successful it would pave the way for US President Barack Obama's first meeting with Chinese President Hu Jintao (胡錦濤), which will take place on April 2 at an economic summit in London.
“As of October last year, when the Bush administration sent some notifications to Congress for arms sales to Taiwan, China suspended not only the mil-mil exchanges but also dialogues with the US on proliferation and security issues,” Glaser said.
She added: “So one possible — and I think useful — step would be for the Chinese to agree that resuming these dialogues and these exchanges are in the interests of both of our countries. But if the Chinese expect that they will receive a promise from the administration that it will not sell arms to Taiwan in the future, I don't think they are going to succeed.”
Asked what would persuade China to restart mil-mil relations, Glaser answered that “undoubtedly” Hu would raise the Taiwan issue with Clinton.
“There will certainly be a desire on the part of Beijing to hear the new administration state its position respecting the one China policy and the three communiques, and perhaps say something in support of the improving relations between the two sides of the Strait,” she said. “I expect that Secretary Clinton would be eager to do that because we do see the process that is taking place as easing tensions. The economic cooperation between the two sides of the Strait is positive.”
“I personally hope she will also say something about the need for China to follow up some of President Ma's gestures with some movement on reducing the military buildup opposite Taiwan,” she added.
“China wants the United States to stop arms sales to Taiwan. But I don't think that that is really what they expect,” she said.
“My speculation is that Beijing is looking for some kind of a face-saving gesture by the United States in order to resume the mil-mil exchanges. I think the Chinese are just looking for something that will enable them to say, okay, we understand; we have a common interest in seeing peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait,” she said.
Asked later what kind of face-saving gesture Clinton might offer, Glaser replied that the secretary of state might say that if China reduced its military threat toward Taiwan, this would have an impact on Taiwan's attitude toward buying new weapons systems from the US, and that this in turn might lead to a reduction in arms sales. | 53,479,312 |
1. Introduction {#sec1}
===============
Von Willebrand disease (vWD) is the most common inherited bleeding disorder. Despite advances in the molecular diagnosis and treatment of this disease, the literature remains scarce as to the perioperative management of vWD patients undergoing orthopedic and other types of surgery. In particular, joint replacement surgery is amenable to various regional anesthetic techniques, including neuraxial anesthesia, lumbar plexus blockade, and peripheral nerve blockade (PNB). Evidence has established the superiority of PNB to neuraxial anesthesia and/or opioid therapy in total knee replacement (TKR) patients \[[@B1]--[@B3]\] and in orthopedic surgery patients on thromboprophylaxis (ppx) \[[@B4]\]. While PNB among other modalities has been associated with superior pain scores and a more favorable side effect profile, its use in patients with inherited or acquired coagulopathy may carry potentially catastrophic hemorrhagic complications. Certainly, the available evidence regarding the safety of PNB in coagulopathic patients is insufficient to date. To our knowledge, this case study is the first documented account of a continuous femoral nerve catheter insertion for intra- and postoperative pain control in a patient with Von Willebrand disease.
2. Case Report {#sec2}
==============
The patient presented has granted us permission to publish this report. She is a 34-year-old female diagnosed with type 1 vWD associated with a hypercoagulable state, as evidenced by superficial thrombophlebitis and 3 spontaneous abortions in the past. She had a long history of debilitating left knee chondromalacia patellae secondary to a slip and fall injury at age 15; this progressed to advanced patellofemoral arthrosis, resulting in significantly decreased ambulatory capacity and constant knee pain refractory to large doses of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications and Percocet. The patient had failed physical therapy, multiple intra-articular steroid injections, multiple arthroscopic debridements, and tibial tubercle osteotomy with lateral retinacular release; she was thus scheduled to undergo a left TKR. Her medical history was otherwise significant for mild intermittent asthma, and her surgical history was notable for inferior vena cava filter placement, left wrist ganglion cyst excision, 3 dilatation and curettage procedures, and a Caesarean section complicated by severe intraoperative hemorrhage requiring massive transfusion with packed red blood cells, fresh frozen plasma, and factor VIII concentrate. Her height and weight were 170 cm and 70 kg, respectively. She was treated with Singulair, albuterol, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, and Percocet; she also had an allergy to penicillin.
During the preanesthetic evaluation, the patient expressed an interest in a femoral nerve block for postoperative pain control, given her history of opioid tolerance and in light of a self-review of the pertinent literature. The risks and benefits of PNB and general endotracheal anesthesia (GETA) were discussed with the patient, with particular reference to her coagulopathy and the risk of bleeding complications from regional anesthesia. The anesthetic plan consisted of intravenous (IV) infusion of Humate-P in compliance with the hematologist\'s recommendations and it was dosed using body weight and baseline plasma vWF ristocetin cofactor activity. This was to be followed by ultrasound-guided continuous left femoral nerve blockade and GETA.
In the operating room, the patient was positioned supinely and standard American Society of Anesthesiologists monitors were applied. The patient was premedicated with midazolam 2 mg IV and fentanyl 50 mcg IV; the block site was prepared with chlorhexidine and draped in a sterile fashion. An IV infusion of 1876 units of Humate-P was initiated prior to the start of the block. With the ultrasound transducer sterilely covered and positioned transversely over the left inguinal crease, the femoral artery and femoral nerve were identified. Using a Contiplex 18 Gauge Tuohy continuous nerve block tray, the site was locally infiltrated with 6 mL of 2% lidocaine with 1 : 100,000 epinephrine. The needle was positioned in plane and advanced medially toward the femoral nerve. Once adequate local anesthetic spread was visualized, the nerve catheter was threaded through the needle and advanced 4 cm past the needle tip. A total of 20 mL of 0.5% levobupivacaine and 10 mL of 2% lidocaine with 1 : 100,000 epinephrine was injected during the procedure. The catheter was secured at the skin with a Tegaderm dressing and reinforced with adhesive tape. There were no signs of vascular trauma, nerve injury, or bleeding throughout the block procedure.
This was followed by standard induction of general anesthesia, endotracheal intubation, and maintenance with inhalational anesthetic.
Intraoperatively, a left lower extremity tourniquet was applied at a pressure of 250 psi for 76 minutes. Towards the end of the operation, 10 mL of 0.5% levobupivacaine was injected through the femoral catheter. Total surgical time was 79 minutes and blood loss was approximately 50 mL. The patient emerged from anesthesia and was extubated uneventfully. She made no complaints and was transferred to the postanesthesia care unit, where a femoral catheter infusion of 0.2% levobupivacaine at 12 mL per hour was started and maintained for 2 days postoperatively. This was supplemented through postoperative day (POD) 1 with hydromorphone patient-controlled analgesia; the patient required a total of 7.6 mg of hydromorphone during the 24-hour succeeding surgery. As per recommendations from the consulting hematology team, the patient also received 1600 units of Humate-P every 12 hours for 48 hours postoperatively. After the 4th and last dose of Humate-P was administered (i.e., on the night of POD 2), ppx was initiated with enoxaparin 30 mg subcutaneously daily. The femoral nerve catheter was removed intact on POD 2. The patient\'s postoperative course was uncomplicated and she was discharged from the hospital on POD 4.
3. Discussion {#sec3}
=============
The need for orthopedic surgery among vWD patients is not uncommon, especially considering the risk of development of disabling arthropathy from repeated bleeding into the involved joints. Our patient was suffering from patellofemoral arthrosis unrelated to her coagulopathy. At any rate, surgical intervention in vWD patients is missing evidence-based standards for safe, quality perioperative management.
According to a meta-analysis of 504 TKRs, PNB is associated with equivalent analgesia, significantly lower rates of hypotension and urinary retention, and higher patient satisfaction as compared to neuraxial blocks \[[@B2]\]. Moreover, while epidural and spinal hematomas carry an alarmingly high risk of permanent neurologic disability, hematomas resulting from PNB tend to develop in more compliant spaces and are theoretically less likely to cause catastrophic nerve impingement \[[@B5]\]. This consideration, however, is by no means definitive and certainly cannot be assumed in states of inherited or acquired coagulopathy as in vWD cases.
[Table 1](#tab1){ref-type="table"} summarizes the available literature on the outcomes of femoral nerve blockade in patients on ppx and/or at above-standard bleeding risk \[[@B6]--[@B11]\]. Two case reports \[[@B10], [@B11]\] involved temporary lower extremity motor impairment, and one prospective series \[[@B9]\] detailed a case of retroperitoneal hematoma associated with permanent quadriceps femoris denervation. The concerned patient was reportedly self-administering 1 g of aspirin daily pre- and postoperatively, unbeknownst to her caregivers \[[@B9]\]. Importantly, the signs of PNB-associated bleeding described in the literature ([Table 1](#tab1){ref-type="table"}) were not apparent until later in the postoperative period, between POD 2 \[[@B9]\] and POD 10 \[[@B11]\]. It also remains unclear whether or not the bleeding was associated with initiation of ppx therapy versus vascular puncture or delayed intravascular migration of femoral nerve catheters. The unheralded, delayed presentation of PNB-related hemorrhage could account for the higher rate of neurologic complications as a result of the insidious accumulation of blood at the blockade site; this is in contrast to such procedures as transfemoral cardiac catheterization, which, although performed on anticoagulated patients by definition, are marked by a higher incidence of acute blood loss and vascular complications. Lower postprocedure vigilance and surveillance for bleeding could also be incriminated in the insidious yet catastrophic neurologic outcomes of PNB-related hemorrhage, which is in stark contrast to the close patient observation and femoral compression performed immediately after cardiac catheterization.
Perioperative supplementation of vWD patients with Von Willebrand factor/factor VIII (vWF/FVIII) concentrates is commonly recommended by hematologists to mitigate the risk of massive or uncontrolled bleeding. Humate-P is a human plasma-derived vWF/FVIII concentrate with an extensive, three-decade track record of no thrombosis and no cases of viral transmission \[[@B12], [@B13]\]. It is recommended for surgical prophylaxis and spontaneous bleeding treatment in all types of vWD and in vWD cases that are refractory to desmopressin. As per recommendations from the patient\'s hematologist, she received a Humate-P preoperative dose of 1876 units, followed by postoperative maintenance doses of 1600 units every 12 hours. These correspond to Humate-P surgical prophylaxis doses, which are calculated based on a formula integrating body weight and baseline plasma vWF ristocetin cofactor activity \[[@B14]\].
The 1st dose of prophylactic enoxaparin was administered to our patient after 48 hours of supplementation with Humate-P, at which point it was felt by the hematology team that the combination of postoperative time and loaded Humate-P dose was favorable for adequate hemostasis. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOP) guidelines, ppx after total hip or knee replacement procedures in patients at elevated risk for both pulmonary embolism and major bleeding (as in our case subject) should consist of aspirin 325 mg twice daily, or warfarin (with a goal international normalized ratio (INR) less than or equal to 2.0), or none, in addition to the use of mechanical prophylaxis \[[@B15]\]. The latest ASRA consensus report, however, acknowledges important shortcomings in the current literature on ppx indications. These include failure to ensure adequate case mix balance between patients at risk of thrombosis and patients at risk for major bleeding, the deliberate exclusion of patients with preexisting coagulopathy, and the use of surrogate endpoints instead of the prescribed primary outcomes (i.e., symptomatic deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism) \[[@B5]\].
Until authoritative evidence is generated to guide perioperative anesthetic care in patients with bleeding disorders, we recommend that vWD patients engage in an informed and educated decision regarding their plan of analgesia. Regional anesthetic techniques must be considered on a case-by-case basis, with careful weighing of the inherent risks and benefits. Multidisciplinary involvement by experts in hematology, surgery, anesthesiology, and nursing is required as is adherence to timely clotting factor supplementation and appropriate ppx. Standard PNB techniques using advanced technology, such as ultrasound guidance, are likely advantageous. Additionally, PNB sites and catheters must be carefully inspected and symptoms elicited for signs of bleeding throughout the postoperative period extending several days after surgery.

Such phrases that are supposed to encourage hard work sometimes have the opposite effect. For example, being told to ‘put your nose to the grindstone’ could put off anyone for whom self-discipline is elusive, from ever studying again! In the New Scientist this week (Issue 3126, pp. 27-30) is a feature article called ‘Daydream believer’. It looks at what we can do to increase our focus at a long task such as revision, looking particularly at letting the mind wander around a topic.
Several studies suggest that letting yourself daydream intentionally about a topic which you are learning is a more effective strategy than forcing yourself to concentrate over a lengthy period.
So when you’re studying, don’t put your nose to the grindstone – tend to the thought garden. Consider the makeup of the flowers (the interesting parts), appreciate the insects and worms (the causes and unseen elements), imagine the sunshine and rain that will fall in the future (the bigger context and processes). Build up an intentional daydream about your topic of study. Mull things over not only when you’re at a desk or in the library, but when you’re in the shower, walking up from the station or making a cup of tea.
If this doesn’t appeal to you, there are other tried and tested memory techniques that are based on visualisation of the topic matters for instance in rooms of a “house”. Read about that tool in The Memory Book by Buzan and Harrison.
We all need tools to help us nurture a state of contentment and help others feel less anxious and stressed. You may have come across the idea of mindfulness, either in the newspapers, books or on television. Mindfulness is associated with Buddhism, yoga, meditation, those who have the money to go on retreats or indulge in fads. For those skeptics, this Scientific American article weighs up mindfulness and meditation from a creativity and calmness viewpoint. This TED talk looks at how regularly employing techniques like meditation shapes our brains.
If you are now convinced to find out more about mindfulness, we have many new books and ebooks that present the benefits of taking stock of a situation and appreciating the present rather than worrying for the future. These books are often called ‘Shelf-help’ books in libraries.
If you have a login to the Hillcroft VLE, check out the ebooks in the series ‘Can I tell you about…? ‘. They look at common learning difficulties and strategies to manage them, many through the lens of mindfulness’ psychological cousin, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). | 53,479,958 |
Effects of feeding a high-fiber byproduct feedstuff as a substitute for barley grain on rumen fermentation and productivity of dairy cows in early lactation.
The objective of the study was to evaluate effects of partial substitution of dietary grain with wheat dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) on dry matter intake (DMI), sorting behavior, rumen fermentation, apparent total-tract nutrient digestibility, plasma metabolites, and milk production of dairy cows in early lactation. Sixty-one Holstein cows, including 13 ruminally cannulated cows, were blocked by parity and calving date and assigned to 1 of 2 experimental diets immediately after calving until 12 wk in lactation. The control (CON) diet contained 43% barley silage, 17.3% dry-rolled barley grain, and 39.7% concentrate mix on a dry matter basis, and wheat DDGS replaced dry-rolled barley grain in the DDGS diet. Dietary starch content was 29.2 and 19.1% for CON and DDGS diets, respectively. Despite the 10-percentage-unit difference in dietary starch content, cows fed the DDGS diet did not increase ruminal pH. A significant treatment by parity interaction was observed for DMI; feeding the DDGS diet decreased DMI of multiparous cows compared with CON (20.1 vs. 21.3 kg/d) but increased that of primiparous cows (16.2 vs. 14.7 kg/d). Although milk yield was not affected by treatment, cows fed the DDGS diet had lower apparent total-tract digestibility of starch compared with CON (81.9 vs. 91.2%) and tended to have higher plasma concentrations of nonesterified fatty acids (173 vs. 143 mEq/L). High-fiber byproduct feedstuffs such as wheat DDGS can be used as a partial substitute for grains in diets of dairy cows in early lactation but the substitution may not mitigate rumen acidosis problems and may decrease energy intake of multiparous cows in early lactation. | 53,480,038 |

Validation of decisional balance and situational temptations measures for dietary fat reduction in a large school-based population of adolescents.
Brief, validated, and reliable theory-based measures specifically designed for use in large survey research with adolescent populations are needed to assess attitudes and behaviors about dietary fat consumption. This study validated two transtheoretical model (TTM)-based instruments in 2639 ninth graders from 12 Rhode Island high schools. The Decisional Balance Questionnaire for Adolescent Dietary Fat Reduction (DBQA) measures the importance adolescents assign to the pros and cons of reducing dietary fat consumption, while the Situational Temptations Questionnaire for Adolescents (STQA) measures temptations to eat high-fat foods as both a global construct and across three categories of challenging situations. Four competing models were compared for each instrument. An eight-item, correlated two-factor Pros and Cons model was validated for the decisional balance measure and a nine-item, three-factor hierarchical model was validated for situational temptations. The theoretically predicted relationships between stage of change and the pros and cons, as well as stage and situational temptations were supported. These results demonstrate that both measures have sound psychometric properties and are externally valid. | 53,480,171 |
Swap Your 4S for a 5? Apple Stores Could Launch iPhone Trade-In Program Next Month
The iPhone 5 could cease to exist this fall based on Apple’s new program (Getty)
As part of Tim Cook‘s new strategy for iPhones this fall, several anonymous sources have divulged that Apple store’s will begin training employees to handle a new iPhone trade-in program that could launch next month.
Earlier rumors indicated that the iPhone 5S could permanently replace the iPhone 5, so this may be an effort to get the phone off the shelves. (Getty)
While the program was first reported on back in June, the company has sent materials to stores prepping them on how this program will work. Formal training is set to begin this week for store leaders to help bolster direct sales for iPhones from Apple stores. Preparation for the program is supposed to be completed in early September, possibly getting ready for the first reveal of the new iPhone.
Share this with someone who needs an upgrade.
The program entails customers’ bringing in their older iPhones like the 4S to swap them out for newer models like the iPhone 5. Some items will be repurposed and sold in a lower-cost market.
It’s unknown if this program will apply to the rumored iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C, which are rumored to be announced September 10. This trade-in program is also not directly related to the charger swap Apple implemented a few weeks ago after a mysterious death in China. It’s unknown if this swap will apply to the new iPhones this fall, but a low-cost approach like this could help Apple regain its hold on the smartphone market. | 53,480,399 |

TRUCKEE, Calif. - On Saturday, Dec. 15 Rebel Fitness Academy hosted an inaugural Kettlebell Swing-a-Thon. From 9 a.m.-5 p.m., the length of a traditional American workday, trained individuals swung kettlebells with common goals - to get a good workout and to raise money for the High Fives Foundation. In the weeks leading up to the Swing-a-Thon, participants collected pledges either on a "per-swing" basis or as a flat donation, and when the bell rang to start the event everyone was eager to test their physical limits.
"Used properly, kettlebells are the fastest way to tone, tighten and strengthen, which is why they are a staple in our facility," explains Rebel Fitness Academy owner and trainer Ryan Egan. "Rebel Fitness Academy is excited to use the kettlebell in this marathon-style event, which certainly tested my strength and endurance as well as all of the other participants."
The morning of the Kettlebell Swing-a-Thon at Rebel Fitness Academy saw 13 enthusiastic participants smiling, swinging and sweating. Among the participants was Olympic ski racer Daron Rahlves, who, along with Rebel Fitness Academy Owner and Trainer Ryan Egan, seemed to set the pace for other participants. Participants stayed fueled and energized with snacks donated by local merchants, and an eclectic mix of music helped participants make it through the long day. The end of the Kettlebell Swing-a-Thon saw each exhausted participant reaching their respective goal and raising the High Fives Foundation nearly $4,000 to be used toward the development of the CR Johnson Healing Center - a program service of the High Fives Non-Profit Foundation that provides resources for athletes in recovery from sport-related injuries.
"Nothing brings me more joy than working with a like-minded organization focused on regaining the passion for individuals who have had it taken away as the cause of a tragic event," says Ryan Egan. "It was an honor raising money for such an organization, and we look forward to working with the High Fives Foundation in the near future." | 53,480,837 |
Q:
Create words and its position in Python (Pandas) or Pyspark
Hi I am trying to create string which will have words and its position as it appear in the input string. I tried this -
def wordPositions(s):
aDict = {}
words = s.split(' ')
for item in words:
position = words.index(item)
aDict[item] = position
return aDict
s = 'Create a string with position from a string a'
wp = wordPositions(s)
print(wp)
Its output is
{'Create': 0, 'a': 1 'string': 2, 'with': 3, 'position': 4, 'from': 5}
But I expect my output to be
'Create': 1, 'a': 2,7,9 'string': 3,8 'with': 4, 'position': 5, 'from': 6
There are three things which needs to be taken care here
Index t start from 1 instead of 0
Remove the {} of the dictionary and just have a string
If the word is repeating then all positions to me mentioned separated by comas
How can I achieve the desired output. Please help
A:
Using re and defaultdict you might achieve what you're trying to do:
from collections import defaultdict
import re
s = 'Create a string with position from a string a'
wp = defaultdict(list)
for n, k in enumerate(s.split()):
wp[k].append(n+1)
raw_output = re.search('{(.*)}', str(wp)).group(1).replace('[','').replace(']','')
final_output = re.sub("(\d), '", r"\1 '", raw_output)
Output:
"'Create': 1 'a': 2, 7, 9 'string': 3, 8 'with': 4 'position': 5 'from': 6"

European stocks finished at their lowest level in three weeks Thursday, hit hard by worries about a global trade war as the U.S. took steps toward slapping tariffs on China, a move that could hurt economic growth worldwide just as business activity in the eurozone is showing signs of slowing.
The Bank of England kept its interest-rate policy on hold as expected, and did little to dispel expectations that it could tighten policy at its May meeting.
How markets are moving
The Stoxx Europe 600 index
SXXP, +0.56%
fell 1.6% to end at 369.15, notching its lowest close since March 2, according to FactSet data.
In Frankfurt, the DAX 30
DAX, +0.49%
stumbled 1.7% to close at 12,100.08 and in Paris, the CAC 40 index
PX1, +0.67%
gave up 1.4% to finish at 5,167.21. The U.K.’s FTSE 100 index
UKX, +0.65%
dropped 1.2% to end at 6,952.59.
The euro
EURUSD, +0.2415%
fell to $1.2299 from $1.2338 late Wednesday in New York, giving up an intraday high of $1.2389.
What’s driving markets
A selloff in European equities worsened as U.S. stocks
DJIA, +0.37%SPX, +0.14%were mauled, moves that sent the Dow Jones Industrial Average
DJIA, +0.37%
down by more than 500 points intraday. Stocks suffered ahead of an expected announcement that the Trump administration will put trade restraints against China, the world’s second-largest economy.
The measures could be intensifying a long-running dispute in which the U.S. has accused China of engaging in unfair trade practices. European stocks had already been lower during the session after data firm IHS Markit’s closely watched readings on business activity in the eurozone fell short of expectations.
Separately, a report showed German business sentiment slightly dampened in March. Think-tank Ifo said its survey indicated the threat of protectionism in global trade is darkening sentiment in Europe’s largest economy.
In the U.K., the pound
GBPUSD, +0.4266%
initially rallied after the BOE kept its key interest rate at 0.5%, but with a 7-2 split of votes on the Monetary Policy Committee. That, along with signs that wages are firming, suggest that the bank is getting ready to hike rates in May.
What strategists are saying
• “Investors continue to display an anxiety about the path of interest rates against a backdrop of escalating trade conflicts,” said Craig Erlam, Oanda’s senior market analyst, in a note.
“On top of that, Donald Trump seems intent on starting trade wars, most notably with China, which could trigger a wave of protectionism and drive up prices in the U.S. and likely weigh on the growth momentum. How the central bank deals with this will be very interesting, given the already fast pace of hikes,” Erlam said.
• “The message from the Bank of England to borrowers couldn’t really be clearer: Get ready for higher rates now. Two members voted for a rate rise this month, and the Bank said nothing to dispel expectations that rates will rise in May,” said Ed Monk, associate director for personal investing at Fidelity International, in a note.
“The MPC breaks up now for a month and returns in May, with the signs pointing to a rate rise. Despite that, the upward trajectory of interest rates is still expected to be gradual,” he added.
Economic data
IHS Markit said its flash eurozone composite purchasing managers’ index — which covers both manufacturing and services — was at 55.3, a 14-month low. That was below the 56.8 consensus estimate from a FactSet survey of analysts.
The eurozone’s current-account surplus — which measures the flow of goods, services and investments — rose in January to €37.6 billion, the highest level in four months, according to European Central Bank data.
Halma PLC
HLMA, +0.72%
fell 2% as the safety, health and environmental technology company said its first-half foreign-exchange benefits reversed in the second half. It also forecast adjusted pretax profit for fiscal 2018 to be in line with market expectations.

Q:
To what extent is the taylor polynomial the best polynomial approximation?
Given a function $f\in\mathscr C^n([a,b])$ and a point $x_0\in [a,b]$, to what extent is the n-th taylor polynomial $T_n(x,x_0)=\sum_{k=0}^n\frac{f^{(k)}(x_0)}{k!}(x-x_0)^k$ the best polynomial approximation of $f$ in $[a,b]$ ? This may seem to be dumb question, but is there a metric $\rho$ on $ C^n([a,b])$ so that $\rho(T_n(x,x_0),f)=\min\{\rho(p,f)\mid \text{p is a polynomial function} \}$ ?
Thank you
A:
Here is a norm on $\mathscr C^n(a,b)$ for which $T_{n}(\cdot,x_0)$ is the best approximation to $f$:
$$\|f\|_* = \sum_{k=0}^{n} |f^{(k)}(x_0)|+ \sup_{x\in[a,b]}|f^{(n)}(x)-f^{(n)}(x_0)|$$
This is a reasonable norm, which is equivalent to the more usual norms. For any polynomial $p$ of degree at most $n$ we have
$$\|f-p\|_* = \sum_{k=0}^{n} |f^{(k)}(x_0)-p^{(k)}(x_0)|+ \sup_{x\in[a,b]}|f^{(n)}(x)-f^{(n)}(x_0)|$$
which is minimized exactly when $p=T_{n}(\cdot,x_0)$.
A:
The answer is that the Taylor polynomial is not a very good approximation on the whole of $[a,b]$ in general. Indeed, the rest of the Taylor series converges to 0 on $[a,b]$ if and only if $f$ is analytic, which of course is not always the case. The intuition is that local information near $x_0$ only has no chance of being sufficient for a good approximation on $[a,b]$.
We know that a continuous function can be approximated uniformly on a segment by polynomials, but it is a bit tricky to find which polynomials exactly. Another natural candidate would be interpolation polynomials, but it turns out that they are no good as well (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runge%27s_phenomenon). The answer is Bernstein's polynomials (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernstein%27s_polynomial_theorem).
A:
$T_n(x, x_0)$ is the only polynomial of degree less than or equal to $n$ such that
$$ T_n(x, x_0) - f(x) \in o((x - x_0)^n) $$
or in terms of limits,
$$ \lim_{x \to x_0} \frac{T_n(x, x_0) - f(x)}{(x - x_0)^n} = 0$$

Sexual Equity in the Workplace
Leaders of pioneering companies identify reasons for having a workplace open to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender employees—and steps to create such environments.
When the California Supreme Court sanctioned same-sex marriage last May, some proponents applauded the decision and gave an approving nod to employers. They said the decision simply affirmed the realities of the corporate world, where parity between same-sex and heterosexual couples has been the norm for years.
“The employment sector is way ahead of the courts,” says David Buckel, senior counsel with Lambda Legal, a New York-based national advocacy group for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) civil rights. “They already know about attracting and retaining committed employees and making the best face to the public.
“Well over half of the Fortune 500 companies already offer domestic partner benefits. The Fortune 500 doesn’t do things for fun—it all relates to the bottom line. As courts start to fulfill the promise of equality, more employers will line up.”
Although it may be a challenge for some employers—and for HR professionals who may take the lead—to determine how to begin building GLBT inclusiveness in the workplace, experts recommend concrete steps that can be taken. In addition, support is emerging from developments such as the California decision and from the achievements of individual organizations.
Evidence that GLBT employees are finding their workplaces more accommodating can be found in the annual Corporate Equality Index produced by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), one of the largest GLBT civil rights organizations in the nation. This year, the index, a rating of large U.S. employers on their policies and practices toward GLBT employees and customers, showed 195 major U.S. businesses earning the top rating of 100 percent on multiple criteria—a 41 percent increase from the year before. When the HRC first rolled out the index in 2002, only 13 companies received 100 percent.
Brian McNaught, a consultant and author on GLBT issues, says the California decision “will encourage employers who hesitated because they didn’t know which way the culture was going. As California goes, so goes the country.”
Lisa Wright Borden, a partner with Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz PC in Birmingham, Ala., says, “For employers, it will come down to economics. As the workforce changes, with younger employees and applicants coming in, even people who aren’t members of such groups care about employer policies. Big law firms competing for top law students are receiving applicants asking about diversity and pro bono work—a firm would lose a lot of ground if it doesn’t have a good environment.
“It’s a generational issue—older workers were more focused on what they could do for the company, younger workers on what the company [can] do for them.”
Brad Salavich, GLBT diversity manager for IBM in Armonk, N.Y., cites the advantages that positive GLBT policies can have on an organization’s reputation among employees and applicants. “Employers who attract and support GLBT applicants and employees get a leg up in the war for talent,” he says. “They want the best employees, and they want a reputation among applicants as having a culture that supports women, minorities and GLBTs.”
Moreover, Salavich continues, “There’s a direct tie between diversity and innovation. Diverse teams create more innovative products and bring lots of ideas and approaches to the table.”
John D. Finnegan, president, chairman and chief executive officer of the Chubb Group of Insurance Cos.—one of the companies that received a rating of 100 percent on the HRC list—states on its corporate web site that it’s “no coincidence” that Chubb’s financial performance improved as it took steps to make the company “a hospitable and welcoming workplace for all employees, specifically including women, people of color, [and] gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender employees.” When employees are all alike in background, culture and ways of viewing the world, he continues, a company “is likely to stagnate. On the other hand, a company whose employees bring different perspectives to their jobs is one that will always find more efficient ways to operate and new ways to grow.”
Taking Action
Identifying the reasons why an employer would want a welcoming workplace comes down to good business—from recruitment advantages to competitiveness. Learning how to create a workplace where GLBT employees will be valued can be harder.
Potentially helpful informal guidelines can be drawn from the efforts of organizations and employers. For example, the HRC applies criteria in gauging companies’ policies and practices. Among them:
Engagement in appropriate and respectful advertising and marketing or sponsorship of GLBT community events or organizations.
Demonstration of responsible behavior toward the GLBT community.
In addition, experts recommend some specific approaches:
Update policies and training. Update policies on sexual orientation and gender identity, even in states where they’re not yet legally protected, says Shanti Atkins, president and CEO of ELT, an ethics and legal compliance training firm in San Francisco.
Training remains critical. “Policies don’t change behavior,” Atkins continues. “No one behaves the way they do because of something written in a company policy. Training is what brings policies to life.”
McNaught maintains that “the only way to bridge the gap between corporate policy and corporate culture is via education. Every diversity director in the world would agree that providing training on gay and transgender issues is the only reliable means of helping the corporate culture to catch up with the corporate goal of valuing diversity.”
McNaught adds: “In-house, corporations need to effectively communicate their diversity policies, make clear what behaviors are unacceptable, and evaluate managers by their proactive efforts to create a safe and productive workplace.
All levels of senior leadership should be involved, from production and research to marketing and the law department.
“Many companies’ efforts originate with their HR managers and directors of diversity, but for the process to be successful, the CEO, COO and CFO should also embrace the concept.”
Examine benefits offerings. “Employers in California will want to review their benefits plans to see whether they provide benefits for spouses,” says attorney Jamerson Allen, a partner in the San Francisco office of the national employment law firm Jackson Lewis. As a result of the state Supreme Court’s decision in May, “benefits provided under state law or employer policy will have to be provided equally to same-sex spouses as is provided to spouses of the opposite sex.”
“Accordingly,” he says, “an employer who purchases an insurance policy issued in California becomes contractually bound to cover same-sex spouses and domestic partners to the same extent it covers opposite-sex spouses.”
Companies that do not operate in California–and a handful of states whose laws vary– are not required to offer equal benefits to domestic partners, but they can do so voluntarily. Companies that have employees working in the Golden State may be affected by the decision and should consult with legal counsel.
Develop and support GLBT employee resource groups. To the HRC, this is a crucial step toward achieving workplace equality. Companies can provide groups with small budgets and access to meeting rooms and e-mail networks. The groups get involved in policy-making, recruitment and leadership development. They also have the potential to foster a sense of safety and acceptance for GLBT employees.
“IBM has had a GLBT diversity task force since 1995,” says Salavich. “It helps the company with empowering, attracting and retaining employees and maximizing the potential of GLBT customers.”
An Intersection with Religion
One challenge to workplace parity requires recognizing where religious expression ends and tolerance begins, says Atkins, a former employment attorney who now works with workplace law firms in creating training materials.
“People whose religions disapprove of homosexuality sometimes think that their statements in the workplace are protected religious speech, and that any sanctions against it are religious harassment,” Atkins says. “That can be hard for HR to figure out. Employers must be able to draw the line between requiring respectful and inclusive behavior toward co-workers of all types, and yet stop short of requiring all employees to agree with one another’s lifestyles or religious beliefs.”
Legally, however, “Someone who asserts religious protection for their speech must show that their religion requires the speech,” Atkins explains.
She draws a distinction between Muslims, whose religion requires them to pray five times a day, and employees who would criticize homosexuality. “It’s different for employees to say they ‘need’ to engage in hate speech,” Atkins says, pointing to a series of cases where employees’ religious expression conflicted with companies’ diversity statements.
As a result of these decisions, Atkins says, employers may lawfully terminate employees for violating company policies. Still, this is a rapidly developing area of the law, and at least one court has held that a company may not terminate a Christian employee for not signing a diversity policy that the employee maintains conflicts with the employee’s religious beliefs (Peterson v. Hewlett-Packard Co., 358 F3d 599, 601 (9th Cir. 2004)).
HR professionals need “to be prepared to address potentially volatile communications in the workplace about same-sex marriage and send very clear messages about a company’s rules and expectations,” Atkins advises.
Dealing with Taxes
The federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) of 1996 defines marriage as a legal union between one man and one woman. Because of DOMA, any spousal benefits governed by federal law—Social Security, for example—are provided only to spouses in heterosexual marriages. DOMA also denies to same-sex couples the favorable tax treatment of filing jointly, which is available to heterosexual couples. Many states have enacted similar laws. (In November, California voters will decide whether to approve a proposed constitutional amendment stating that only marriage between a man and a woman is valid in the state.)
“But those laws are all about what the government can and can’t do,” Buckel says. “Employers make the mistake that anti-gay-relationship laws apply to them.” Companies offering domestic partner benefits do not run afoul of these laws, he says.
When giving domestic partner health benefits, Buckel says, keep in mind “the value of the benefits for a same-sex spouse is considered income to the employee. That can be costly—it can bump them into a higher tax bracket.”
But employers can reduce the impact of the higher tax through the practice of “grossing up,” whereby the employer pays the employee an additional sum designed to cover the extra tax that the employee has to pay. “Some employers are doing it. Then that payment gets taxed, but it mitigates the burden and brings employees into greater parity,” he says. “That brings extraordinary loyalty to the company.”
Responsibility On Both Sides
A lot remains to be done before workplaces are routinely regarded as GLBT-friendly, and discussions will continue on the extent of the employer’s responsibility for helping to achieve that result.
“Employers don’t have to change societal culture or to challenge fundamental beliefs,” Salavich says. “But they can expect standards of behavior. They can demonstrate the appropriate respect in the workplace.”
Liz Winfield, founder and principal of Common Ground, a consulting firm in Denver that focuses on workforce diversity education, says, “The responsibility is partly on the individual to come out of the closet, but partly on the employer to create a workplace that will be receptive.”
The author is an attorney and writer based in West Hartford, Conn., and a member of the Human Resource Association of Central Connecticut.
It’s worthwhile for employers to take the basic steps, such as worker education and company policy reviews, in trying to make their workplaces more open to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) employees. But employers can do even more, experts and advocates on GLBT issues note. Among their suggestions:
Gender identity is the gender a person identifies with; gender expression is the gender expressed in personal behavior. Transgender people are those whose identity, appearance or behavior falls outside of conventional gender norms.
“To be transgender now is what it was to be gay in the ’80s,” says Liz Winfield, founder and principal of Common Ground, a consulting firm that focuses on workforce diversity education.
“It’s an area of human diversity manifesting itself. In addition to adding gender identity and expression to their nondiscrimination policies, companies also need to understand the difference between them.
“Transitioning at work is one of the most challenging issues,” she adds. “Even those who get it intellectually find it difficult in real life.”
Brad Salavich, GLBT diversity manager for IBM, says health insurance is highly important for transgender employees, as are “support during the transition, and training programs for their co-workers.”
IBM was among the first companies to develop an accreditation program for GLBT suppliers, validating those suppliers so that GLBT-friendly companies would know similarly accommodating companies with which they could do business.
One way to find such suppliers is through the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. It has certified GLBT-owned businesses since 2002.
Consider meeting locations. “Organizations want to avoid states where GLBT employees’ relationships won’t be respected and they won’t feel safe,” says David Buckel, senior counsel with Lambda Legal, a national advocacy group for GLBT civil rights. “If one partner gets hurt and has to go to the hospital, the hospital may consider the uninjured partner a legal stranger.”Lambda Legal provides a “safety scale” that ranks states on their legal treatment of same-sex relationships.
Communicate publicly in advertising. “Show you welcome GLBT people as employees and customers,” says Brian McNaught, a consultant and author on GLBT issues.
“That shows the company understands their issues and supports them,” McNaught says. “I’m much more interested in a company that puts my face on its literature and much more likely to buy a product pictured in a GLBT publication. That says, ‘I know who you are, and I value you.’ ” | 53,482,379 |
Letter From Banjul With Njundu Drammeh: Whither The First Love Which Brought Us Together For Freedom?

Njundu Drammeh
(Jollofnews)- Once upon a time a people lived under one of the most brutal, inhuman, exploitative, dictatorial and divisive regime Africa has ever known in its modern history. It killed, raped, tortured, plundered, imprisoned, humiliated, bullied, threatened and massacred opponents, perceived opponents, non-Gambians and die hard supporters.
It was a despicable reign of terror, presided over by an enfante terrible who first masqueraded as a Moses but a soi dissant one. Through transactional leadership, divide and rule tactics, carrot and stick methods, sophisticated and unscrupulous spy network, high dose of injected fear and intimitation and ever ready sons of the soil murderers, the regime and the Frankenstein monster survived a harrowing, devastating and monstrous 22 even years.
In spite of the fear filled, murderous, choking environment infested by the dreaded and ubiquitous NIA, and all the deadly attendant risks, there were groups of courageous men and women, youth and children, home and abroad, who banded and bonded, actuated by nothing but the desire for freedom and life of dignity and respect, to oppose and fight for democracy.
Their differences mattered less. They had their eyes on the common goal. They sacrificed whatever they had; used whatever was in their hands; campaigned together at great personal cost. They endured imprisonment, torture, privation, exile, property confiscations, humiliation, death, dismissals, and every thing ugly and dehumanizing. Some fell or betrayed along the way.
Some joined the oppressors and sold their former fellow freedom fighters for positions. But the majority trudged on, never parting company or losing sight of the common good. In partnership with the oppressed masses, traumatised already but highly galvanised and prepared, the Walls of Jericho came tumbling and the Davids, armed with marbles, brought Goliath to his knees in shame. The history of a once feared village warrior and quack herbalist and his maurading henchmen, came to an abrupt end.
Unity, solidarity, fellow feeling as oppressed people, shared history and suffering , commonness of purpose, singularity of vision, “same enemy” objective and desire to live dignified, self fulfilling and democratic lives catalysed the people. Who wants live in a golden cage?
But the euphoria, to all intents and purposes, was short-lived. The united camp that drove out a Goliath with all the instruments of torture at his disposal and at cost to life and limb, is now various opposing factions, engaged in cut throat hostility. What brought them together is now their own seed of discord. It is a miniature Southern Sudan playing out on Facebook though. On Facebook, the virtual world. Multiple groups of Gladiators, armed to the teeth, ready to gorge out each other’s eyes.
Suddenly there is what Paulo Freire calls “fear of freedom”. The once oppressed people are now denying to each other that which they all so gallantly fought to repossess. The oppressed are becoming each other’s oppressors, resorting to the former oppressor’ s tactics and methods. They that hated and fought against violations of human rights, intolerance to dissentingof opinions, lack of transparency and accountability, seem to dislike the same for each other or rather now find these as anathema. Each thinks that the other group is hellbent on destroying its “hard fought ” and “hard won” prize, the repossession of freedom. Shadow boxing which is as drenching as it is dehydrating. The winner will be the old oppressor unless the proxy war stops.
Democracy strives in dissent but matures to fruition in toleration or tolerance, that respect for the most repugnant, obnoxious opinion or idea; the acceptance that infallibility is not the preserve of humans; that willingness to subject oneself to scrutiny without flapping or being touchy or irascible.
A democratic person must adhere to democratic tenets and values, willy nilly. There cannot be any dissonance between the person and these values. Disagreements we should have for we have different horizons and not just one “truth”. We can avoid being disagreeable. That is a choice we have.
As it was at the beginning, so it could be now too: a common objective to expand and enlarge the frontiers of freedoms and rights, to stand up for what is right, to have a responsible government, to ensure all live in dignity and free from fear, to hold each other accountable, to entrench constitutionalism and the rule of law and to always be fighting on the side of the oppressed.
Securing rights is an every day struggle, for oneself and others, against the excesses of oneself, others and the State. A luta continua. | 53,482,413 |

Home From Chicago • • •
Last month, your editors participated in the Associated
Collegiate Press conference in Chicago. Approximately
1000 student delegates attended this convention. They
came from schools which were state-supported, Church·
affiliated, or private, including such institutions as Michigan
State University, University of Texas, Gannon College, and
Sl John's University, Brooklyn. This diversity was helpful
in giving aU or tile delegates a broad picture of the role
played by college publications on campuses across the
country.
Professors of journalism from Columbia University
and Syracuse University, as well as professionals from the
Wall Street Journal, Chicago Sun Times, and Chicago
Tribune conducted workshops during the convention.
· Panel discussions, on topics such as "The Campus Right
to Know" and "Should College Papers Make Political En·
dorsements," enabled delegates to share what seemed to
be common problems.
While Ustening to convention speakers, it was em·
phatically brought to our attention that Gleaner and NCR
enjoy a freedom or the press which is often unique among
college publications. Many schools are not so fortunate.
Paul Tate, a student editor from Troy State College in
Alabama, told of his summons to the office or Governor
Wallace, where he was required to give a four hour ex·
planation or his recent editorial in favor of civil r ights.
A delegate from Concordia College, a conservative Minnesota
school or Lutheran affiliation, described the pressures
applied to the newspaper by administration and
alumni forces.
This convention was not exclusively for newspaper
editors. Various types of college publications were represented.
After examining the prize-winning yearbooks and
magazines at this conference, the editors of Gleaner would
like to ask why Sigillum and Verity Fair do not participate
in such national competition. Student publications are an
important factor in projecting a school's image, The excel·
lence achieved on this campus should not go unnoticed.
A Precedent • •
Gleaner joins the rest of NCR in congratulating and
thanking all those connected witll Stag Weekend, in particular
Jeanne Gauer ond Mory Koy S.:hwonke, co-chairmen.
Stag Weekend was a success both socially and financially.
Intercollegiate relations were strengtllened on ooth tile
school and personal levels. And tile Missions are $1100
richer.
Stag Weekend was the first of its kind on this campus,
and It can be improved. Perhaps a less expensive weekend
would have drawn a larger crowd, particularly to the stage
show Saturday night. Publicity, which is admittedly a rna·
jor ~roblem regarding an event of this sort, could have been
earlier and more intensive.
The success of last weekend suggests that we continue
and improve upon the idea. A precedent has been set.
Glaner would like to see another Stag Weekend.

If one hopes to find In

not St. Thomas Becket: It Is
Bec.ket the man. as strons and

of his name.
It b thb man, B«ket. whose
story has faselnated minds from
the 12th century through T. S

B«ket's story Is one of rapid
ascension from Henry tl't valet

Burton's Becket is. at times. an·

Guest Editorial
OHicers Speak Out
On Student lnteCJrity
We are adults responsible !or our actions and the principles
which motivate them. It is not important how many
people falsify permanent Student Hour excuses. The point
is some students do not have the honesty to break a rule
and face its consequences. It is not important how many
students neglect checking books out of the library or fail
to fulfill obligations freely accepted in joining committees.
The point is there are students who put their own selfish·
ness before consideration and respect for others.
A panel from Student Council will discuss student integl'ity
and responsibility in class hours. Its purpose is nei·
ther accusation or condemnation and it would be a sad
misunderstanding to construe it as such. Our hope is rather
that we can recognize what is required of us as mature and
responsible adults a'nd act accordingly.
Likewise, Student Council in its judicial !unction has
the responsibility to enforce the rules and regulations it
enacts. Every legislative body must provide for this in some
way. We have ru les at the college and there is little complaint
about them. Those that disagree with them simply
don't obey them. Fines are levied and summons are sent
out for student court. Many times they are ignored. It
may be these regulations ar·e unreasonable or unnecessary
and should be changed. This is done by presenting the suggestion
or proposal to Student Council or the class Representative
but until then the rule must in all cases be
obeyed until it is changed or repealed. We see no sense in
Student Council acting as a legislative body if it cannol
enforce its laws.
We see no sense in Student Council acting as a judicial
board if its action to require compliance are flaunted. We
realize words like "must obey'' and "required" irritate our
sense of independence and maturity. but there is always
someone who, because of his position or authority, has a
right to make demands on us. Either student government
guides its members in their student life for their own benefit
(not as a power hungry organization) or it is senseless
to waste time with it.
It is because of these considerations that Student Coun·
c.il has voted that the Student Judicial Board shall have
the power to suspend a girl from the Undergraduate Association
if she ignores its summons or fails to fulfill a penalty
set by the board. This would deprive her of all participation
in student school and class activities. We realize
this b; a vel'y serious action but we reel it is necessa•·y.
It is not our purpose to work against the members of
the Association in any way. Our purpose is rather to work
with and for the students, but to do this we have had to
come to griJ;>S with our own responsibility. On this we must
take a stand.

Wit'' Apologies to
By NANCY NllAR~
Methinks it fitting, now that the wear and tear of mid·
term testing on this campus have subsided, to analyze the
actions, reactions, sighs, comments and gesticulations seen
and heard over the course of those two dreadful weeks.
Now, I despise the idea of a Roving Reporter. It's value,. I
claim, is nil. What can be more absurd than walking up to
some unsuspecting being with a casual, "Hi, what, in your
opinion, is the key to a happy and successful exam week?"
Opposed as I am to this extreme misuse of tact, yet nevertheless,
did I creep up behind a certain student and wager
that very question. Her equally absurd answer went like
this: "The key to a success!u I exam week is to stay calm.
Study hard, but, above all, don't worry!" Another reply: "A
happy exam week can be achieved if one has a good night's
sleep before each test."
Now really! Any simpleton will acknowledge . that 99
44/ 100% of all exam-takers stay up half the night, and are
not calm, cool and collected as the idealists say. Now, the
points are: 1} the attitude of the majority of our student
body toward midterms is sad, i.e. down w.ith any sort o!
test, quiz, or question-answer session which falls at the
end of October; 2) most collegiennes are insincere when.
it comes to spontaneously stating their feelings for a newspaper;
i.e. the Roving Reporter will trap all hypocrites! So
the next time a Reporter nonchalantly roves up to you.
speak up, ·girl! You. might be asked :to loop a rope around
your neck and hang !or your convictions, but haven't you
always wanted to die for a cause?

John Heureux. "'Death of a Man ..
It Is almost one year since John F. Kennedy died. On
that Nov. 22, all of us were on our knees. Our spirit was
broken; we scarcely knew where to turn. But, in our need,
we turned to God.
Today we see a world at once botll the same and very
different from tile one John Kennedy left. It is a world or
different leaders, but with tile same crises. It is a world
which looks ahead, but witll a doubtful future. It is a world
which must return to its knees.
Return to Its knees ... to renew tile pledge made last
year in tile memory of President Kennedy, who in life and
in deatll, ennobles its best hopes, dreams. and ideals.

Wit'' Apologies to
By NANCY NllAR~
Methinks it fitting, now that the wear and tear of mid·
term testing on this campus have subsided, to analyze the
actions, reactions, sighs, comments and gesticulations seen
and heard over the course of those two dreadful weeks.
Now, I despise the idea of a Roving Reporter. It's value,. I
claim, is nil. What can be more absurd than walking up to
some unsuspecting being with a casual, "Hi, what, in your
opinion, is the key to a happy and successful exam week?"
Opposed as I am to this extreme misuse of tact, yet nevertheless,
did I creep up behind a certain student and wager
that very question. Her equally absurd answer went like
this: "The key to a success!u I exam week is to stay calm.
Study hard, but, above all, don't worry!" Another reply: "A
happy exam week can be achieved if one has a good night's
sleep before each test."
Now really! Any simpleton will acknowledge . that 99
44/ 100% of all exam-takers stay up half the night, and are
not calm, cool and collected as the idealists say. Now, the
points are: 1} the attitude of the majority of our student
body toward midterms is sad, i.e. down w.ith any sort o!
test, quiz, or question-answer session which falls at the
end of October; 2) most collegiennes are insincere when.
it comes to spontaneously stating their feelings for a newspaper;
i.e. the Roving Reporter will trap all hypocrites! So
the next time a Reporter nonchalantly roves up to you.
speak up, ·girl! You. might be asked :to loop a rope around
your neck and hang !or your convictions, but haven't you
always wanted to die for a cause?

Q:
How to call CFileDialog class constructor
I need a CFileDialog object to be used in all of the member functions of a class. So I wrote the header of class as:
#pragma once
#include <string.h>
#include "afxdlgs.h"
#include "gdal_priv.h"
#include "cpl_conv.h"
#include "cpl_string.h"
#include "ogr_spatialref.h"
class FilesWorkFlow
{
public:
FilesWorkFlow(void);
virtual ~FilesWorkFlow(void);
CString GetPath();
GDALDataset* OpenTiff(CString);
private:
wchar_t* lpszFilter;
CFileDialog dlgFile;
};
and implemented the constructor of the class in this form:
FilesWorkFlow::FilesWorkFlow(void)
{
lpszFilter = _T("JPEG Files (*.jpg)|*.jpg|")
_T("TIFF Files (*.tif)|*.tif|")_T("PNG Files (*.png)|*.png|")_T("Bitmap Files (*.bmp)|*.bmp|");
dlgFile = CFileDialog(true,0,0,OFN_ENABLESIZING | OFN_HIDEREADONLY,lpszFilter,0,0,true);
}
but in the constructor, I get the error:
no default constructor exists for class CFileDialog
what is the problem?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem solved. I implemented the class this way.
FilesWorkFlow.h
class FilesWorkFlow
{
public:
FilesWorkFlow(void);
virtual ~FilesWorkFlow(void);
CString GetPath();
GDALDataset* OpenTiff(CString);
private:
wchar_t* lpszFilter;
CFileDialog* dlgFile;
};
FilesWorkFlow.cpp
FilesWorkFlow::FilesWorkFlow(void)
{
lpszFilter = _T("JPEG Files (*.jpg)|*.jpg|")
_T("TIFF Files (*.tif)|*.tif|")_T("PNG Files (*.png)|*.png|")_T("Bitmap Files (*.bmp)|*.bmp|");
dlgFile = new CFileDialog(true,0,0,OFN_ENABLESIZING | OFN_HIDEREADONLY,lpszFilter,0,0,true);
}
FilesWorkFlow::~FilesWorkFlow(void)
{
}
CString FilesWorkFlow::GetPath()
{
if (dlgFile->DoModal() == IDOK)
{
CString pathname = dlgFile->GetPathName();
return pathname;
}
}
A:
To specialize the CFileDialog you usually derive from it, instead of making it a class member. Regardless of what you do, though, the solution is to initialize the CFileDialog object through an initializer list. Your constructor would look like this:
FilesWorkFlow::FilesWorkFlow(void) :
dlgFile( true, 0, 0,
OFN_ENABLESIENABLESIZING | OFN_HIDEREADONLY,
_T("JPEG Files (*.jpg)|*.jpg|TIFF Files (*.tif)|*.tif|PNG Files (*.png)|*.png|Bitmap Files (*.bmp)|*.bmp||"),
0, 0, true )

I recently installed the new Windows Mobile 6.5.3 SDK upgrading my old Windows Mobile 6 project.
I'm getting an error: "Can't find PInvoke DLL 'sqlceme35.dll" when I try to invoke SQL libraries (this is managed code obviously).
Any ideas how to fix this issue?
A:
Have you installed the SQL Server CE to it?
Never used the Mobile SDK, so I'm taking a stab in the dark here, but this blog lists the primary reasons you would get that error, and the solution for them: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlservercompact/archive/2007/10/26/can-t-find-p-invoke-dll-sqlcemenn-dll.aspx
Google seems to indicate that a lot of people's problems were with the cab files or not having installed server CE.
A:
ok it turns out I had to re-install Visual Studio 2008 AND the SqlCe files to get this issue resolved...

Structure and spasmolytic activity of eucalyptanoic acid from Eucalyptus camaldulensis var. obtusa and synthesis of its active derivative from oleanolic acid.
A new triterpenoid acid named eucalyptanoic acid (1) has been isolated from the fresh uncrushed leaves of Eucalyptus camaldulensis var. obtusa along with two known constituents, beta-sitosterol (2) and betulinic acid (3). The structure of 1 has been established as 3beta-hydroxyolean-9(11),12-dien-28-oic acid through spectral studies including 1D and 2D NMR. 1 and its acetyl (1a) and acetylmethyl (1b) derivatives were tested for spasmolytic activity. 1b was found to be the most active spasmolytic, mediated through blockade of calcium influx at 1 mg/mL. In the present study 1b was also prepared starting from oleanolic acid (4). Acetylation of 4 gave 4a, which on methylation afforded 4b. Reaction of 4b with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) furnished 1b. Hence 4 may be regarded as the biogenetic precursor of 1. Compounds 4 and 4a were found inactive at 1 mg/mL, while 4b was moderately active in showing spasmolytic activity. | 53,483,874 |
Q:
Triggering SOAP requests in a Maven Mojo
I have a WSDL which I need to trigger some commands from. I need to do this as part of a Maven Plugin (Mojo)
I'm a relative newbie to SOAP so what I want to know is this:
1) Is this possible? Can the SOAP calls be run from a Maven Plugin or does it require a container or something else?
2) If so, what tools should I use to do this? I've read about Apache Axis and have seen that it's capable of building a lot of things from the WSDL itself. Is this the sort of tool I should use? Do Mojos have a built in SOAP executor?
3) If not, what are my alternatives?
A:
Is this possible? Can the SOAP calls be run from a Maven Plugin or does it require a container or something else?
Yes, that's possible, you do not require any kind of container to run a SOAP client.
If so, what tools should I use to do this? I've read about Apache Axis and have seen that it's capable of building a lot of things from the WSDL itself. Is this the sort of tool I should use? Do Mojos have a built in SOAP executor?
I would consider using a JAX-WS stack like JAX-WS RI which is included in Java 6. Much easier and much more elegant. Here are some tutorials to get started:
Introducing JAX-WS 2.0 With the Java SE 6 Platform, Part 1
Creating a Simple Web Service and Client with JAX-WS
Getting Started with JAX-WS Web Services
Developing JAX-WS Web Service Clients
In short, use wsimport to generate and compile the web service artifacts needed to connect to the service and use them from the Mojo.
