Q: Filter IEnumerable against IEnumerable I have an object Style with a property StockNumber. I would like to filter a list of all Db.Styles against an IEnumerable<string> stockNumbers the user enters in a search. DB.Styles is an IEnumerable<Style>. Here is essentially what I am trying to do:
public IEnumerable<Style> LoadListOfStyles(IEnumerable<string> stockNumbers)
{
    return Db.Styles.Intersect(stockNumbers);
    // Need to filter Db.Styles based on stockNumbers
}

So is there an easy way to compare the list of all styles in Db.Styles against my search values in stockNumbers to return a filtered list of only the Styles the user has searched for? The only way I have seen to be able to do this is to have 2 IEnumerable objects to intersect, but loading the styles one by one from the stock numbers searched seems like a lot of unnecessary code. I am wondering if there is an easier way. Or do I need to roll my own method to filter the results?

A: public IEnumerable<Style> LoadListOfStyles(List<string> stockNumbers)
{
    return db.Styles.Where(s => stockNumbers.Contains(s.StockNumber));
}

A: Consider a Where clause.
public IEnumerable<Style> LoadListOfStyles(IEnumerable<string> stockNumbers)
{
    return Db.Styles.Where(style => !stockNumbers.Contains(style.StockNumber));
}

A: return db.Styles.Where(style => stockNumbers.Any(sn => sn == style.StockNumber));

A: You can think of Intersect as effectively a Join where the keys of each object are always "themselves".  Here you want to perform a join where the key isn't always "itself", so you use a Join (or, if you need to remove duplicates, a GroupJoin).
var query = from style in Db.Styles
    join number in stockNumbers
    on style.StockNumber equals number
    into numbers
    where numbers.Any()
    select style;

Carrie Underwood Worried People Would Mistake Her Face Accident For Plastic Surgery
"It definitely was not a choice."
By Korin Miller
Back in January, Carrie Underwood warned fans that she "might look a bit different" after falling down steps outside her house (an accident that left her with a broken wrist and nearly 50 of facial stitches). But fans were confused when she stepped back into the spotlight—because she looked exactly the same as before.
But Carrie went on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Wednesday and said she was worried that fans would think that she "electively" got plastic surgery. "I feel like I do [look different] a little bit," she told Ellen. "My biggest worry at the time was like, if I say nothing, then later on… I feel like people are gonna say, 'What has she done to herself electively?' And it definitely was not a choice."
She told Ellen that the moment when she tripped over her dogs' leashes (which caused the accident) was just as intense as it sounds—and she had no idea what the damage would be. "I feel like any time anything happens, it's adrenaline or something, you don't really know until you take a second to assess… It was one of those random things in life," she said.
The Love Story Of Carrie Underwood And Her Husband
She stayed out of the spotlight for months and covered her face in Instagram posts until April, when she began sharing photos of her face again. Carrie made her public debut later that month at the Country Music Awards, and people were surprised that she looked the same as she always had.

Some plastic surgery rumors started floating around and Carrie later told Redbook that they were "a little sad." "The truth is just as interesting," she said. "I wish I'd gotten some awesome plastic surgery to make this [scar] look better. But I try not to worry too much about it."
Carrie told the magazine that the accident messed with her confidence a little. "Any time someone gets injured, it looks pretty bad in the beginning, and you're like, 'What is this going to wind up like?' You just don't know," she said. "It was also a perception thing, because I look at myself [now] and I see it quite a bit, but other people are like, 'I wouldn't have even noticed.'"
OMG, Carrie Underwood Is Pregnant!
Now, though, Carrie told Ellen that she feels "close to myself. I feel pretty close to normal." And coming from someone who has had a helluva year, that's pretty awesome.

Jillian has been actively experimenting with traditional fermentation of various foods and beverages for more than 8 years. " I was on a quest to self heal after being diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder, finding that nutrition played a crucial role for my healing" She now spends her time teaching classes and workshops throughout Florida, educating people on how to prepare and maintain fermentation in their daily lives. Topics cover various subjects including Sauerkraut, Kimchi, Kvass and Kombucha to just name a few.
Fermentation is a way to keep the good bacteria alive and bioavailable for the body to use, helping to maintain a balance in the gut. Jillian offers both public and private classes/workshops. "Cause we are living in a bacterial world, and I am a bacterial girl."
NOTE: I so appreciate Jillian's love for Florida's wild plant foods, and look very much forward to wildcrafting with her in search of new ingredients for her ferments. Exciting times ahead.

Q: Symfony 2 FOSUSER issue with is_granted in twig I'am experiencing an issue with is_granted('') function in twig.
My current user has the following roles : ['ROLE_USER','ROLE_FOOBAR'], checked from the symfony profiler.
With this code : the admin link is printed (KO) :
{% if is_granted('ROLE_BACKOFFICE') or is_granted('ROLE_SYSTEM') %}

       ADMIN

{% endif %}

With this code : the admin link is NOT printed (OK) :
{% if app.user.hasRole('ROLE_BACKOFFICE') or  app.user.hasRole('ROLE_SYSTEM') %}

       ADMIN

{% endif %}

I don't understand why the link is printed with is_granted ?
My role hierarchy seems ok, what's wrong with that code ?
If you look at vendor/friendsofsymfony/user-bundle/Model/User.php, it explains that the hasRole must not be used in this context :
  /**
     * Never use this to check if this user has access to anything!
     *
     * Use the SecurityContext, or an implementation of AccessDecisionManager
     * instead, e.g.
     *
     *         $securityContext->isGranted('ROLE_USER');
     *
     * @param string $role
     *
     * @return boolean
     */
    public function hasRole($role)
    {
        return in_array(strtoupper($role), $this->getRoles(), true);
    }

Here is a snippet of my role hierarchy from security.yml :
role_hierarchy:
    ROLE_FOOBAR:         ROLE_USER
...
    ROLE_ADMIN:         [ROLE_USER, ROLE_MANAGER]

A: I finally found the problem :
The problem came from an error inside a voter. I change this snippet :
     if ($object != null && !$this->supportsClass(get_class($object))) {
         return self::ACCESS_ABSTAIN;
     }

to :
 if (!$this->supportsClass(get_class($object))) {
        return self::ACCESS_ABSTAIN;
    }

Now, everything is fine, again. just lost my day ! I hope this could help.

VAT for business if there's a no-deal exit from the EU
With the new Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, appearing to take an increasingly hard line the chances of Britain leaving the EU without any working agreement, known as a 'no deal' Brexit, are looking increasing likely and certainly cannot be ignored.
If the UK leaves the EU on 31 October 2019, without a deal, there would be immediate changes to the procedures that apply to businesses trading with the EU. It would be timely to repeat a summary of the VAT guidance published by HMRC reminding businesses how to prepare.
Listed below are some of the main VAT issues that will affect UK businesses trading with the EU in goods and services, if the UK leaves the EU without an agreement.
Businesses that are importing goods from the EU, would be required to follow customs procedures in the same way that they currently do when importing goods from a country outside the EU. This means that an import declaration would be required, customs checks and any customs duties due must be paid.
There would also be multiple VAT issues, including the requirement to account for import VAT on goods coming from the EU. The Government has already confirmed that postponed accounting for import VAT on goods brought into the UK, will be introduced if the UK leaves the EU without an agreement.
Any agreement in place businesses exporting goods to the EU, will be required to follow customs procedures in the same way that they currently do when exporting goods to a non-EU country.
VAT registered UK businesses will continue to zero-rate sales of goods to EU businesses and will no longer be required to complete EC sales lists. However, EU member states will treat goods entering the EU from the UK in the same way as goods entering from other non-EU countries with associated import VAT and customs duties due, when the goods arrive into the EU.
A 'no deal' Brexit would also mean the end of special VAT 'distance selling' rules for the zero-rated sale of goods to EU consumers, as well as changes to the UK VAT Mini One Stop Shop rules.
We would advise any UK businesses trading with the EU, to seriously consider what action will be required in the event of a 'no deal' Brexit and to prepare a carefully thought-out risk assessment.
Providing the direction that leads to growth.

Cher je umjetničko ime Cherilyn Sarkisian (El Centro, Kalifornija, Kalifornija, 20. svibnja 1946.), američke zabavljačice, glumice i pjevačice.

Životopis
Od početka glazbene karijere prodala je oko 100 milijuna primjeraka ploča. Kao članica dua "Sonny i Cher", popularnog u 60-ima, prodala je preko 80 milijuna ploča. Duo se razišao 1974. godine. Na glazbenoj sceni prisutna je 56 godina, te je prerasla u glazbenu ikonu.

Put prema slavi počeo je 1963. godine kada kao 17-godišnjakinja u jednom kafiću upoznaje mladića imenom Sonny Bono, koji će biti i ostati njena najveća ljubav, kao i glazbeni suradnik.

S 19 godina, 1965., pojavljuje se pjesma  "I Got You Babe", i dolazi na broj 1 američke i britanske top ljestvice. Prvo dijete (kćer Chastity) rodila je 4. svibnja 1969. godine. Godine 1971. Sonny i Cher dobivaju vlastiti show. Drugi put se udaje 1975. godine za muzičara Gregg Allmana i ima sina imenom Elijah Blue Allman koji je i sam glazbenik te suvremeni umjetnik.

Imala je veze s mnogo poznatih i manje poznatih muškaraca (Val Kilmer, Gene Simmons, itd.). Kroz 80-e godine imala je niz uspona i padova. Tada započinje svoju filmsku karijeru koja je bila njen početni plan prije nego što je upoznala Sonny-a. Oscara i Zlatni globus dobiva 1988. Kroz devedesete snima albume, filmove te se pojavljuje u reklamnim prodajama. Godine 1998. Sonny umire u skijaškoj nesreći u Aspenu. Iste godine izdaje album Believe, a mediji je nazivaju Sonnyevom udovicom. Godine 1999. dobiva nagradu Grammy.

Snimila je 17 filmova. Podvrgla se nekoliko puta plastičnim operacijama. Od 2008. – 2011. godine nastupa Caesar's Palace u Las Vegasu u svom showu Cher at the Colosseum. Trenutno djeluje na posljednjoj koncertnoj turneji po Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama pod nazivom "Dressed To Kill Tour" koja svoju prvu seriju završava 11. srpnja nastupom u San Diegu.

Karijera

Cherilyn Sarkisian LaPierre u želji za slavom i uspješnom karijerom počinje pjevati u duetu sa Sonnyem Bonom. Isprva pristupa vrlo sramežljivo kakvom se još danas opisuje ali uz pomoć Sonny-a ali i kvaru automobila pratečeg vokala Darlene Love počinje skupa sa Sonny-em raditi za u tadašnje vrijeme najvećeg producenta Phila Spectora. Sonny i Cher započinju karijeru kao Ceaser and Cleo međutim nakon serije neuspješnih singlica mijenjaju ime u jednostavno Sonny i Cher, objavljuju svoju najpoznatiju pjesmu zajedničke karijere "I Got You Babe" te ostaju kao privatni i poslovni partneri više ili manje uspješni do sredine 1970-tih godina. Od njega se odvaja te 1974. godine te počinje pjevati kao samostalna pjevačica. Godine 1971. izdaje novi singl "Gypsys, Tramps and Thieves" koji je bio njen prvi samostalni singl koji će dospjeti na broj 1 top ljestvice. Ostala dva singla su "Half Breed" objavljen 1973. i "Dark Lady" objavljen 1974. U to vrijeme napušta Sonny-a te se vraća Phil Spectoru u pokušaju da svoju karijeru dovede na jednu "zreliju, višu" razinu. U tom razdoblju nastaju dva neuspješna singla, "A Woman's Story" te duet s Harry Nilssonom "A Love Like Yours". Godine 1975. – 1977. su u glazbenom smislu bile veoma neuspješne za Cher. Potpisuje ugovor za izdavanje četiri albuma s Warner Brother Records te objavljuje albume "Stars" (1975), "I'd Rather Believe In You" (1976), "Cherished" (1977) te album sa svojim tadašnjim mužem Gregg Allman-om pod nazivom "Two The Hard Way" (1977). S njim također kreće i na kratku karijeru po Europi, ali je napušta nakon mjesec dana jer saznaje da se on vratio drogama i alkoholu. Tada ga i zauvijek napušta. Zanimljivo je spomenuti da iako glazbeno nije bila uspješna, ipak se vraća malim ekranima te pokreće vlastiti TV show jednostavnog naziva "Cher" koji uspješno krasi male ekrane u dvije sezone od 16. veljače 1975. do 4. siječnja 1976. godine. Ovim showom dokazuje da je sposobna sama vladati ekranom te uz veliki broj poznatih gostiju show postaje izrazito popularan među publikom.
Unatoč uspjehu smatra da je sigurnija kad je u društvu sada već bivšeg muža, Sonny Bono-a te njih dvoje ponovno počinju voditi show pod nazivom The Sonny And Cher Show koji biva ukinut nakon dvije sezone sredinom 1977. godine. Bilo je očito da je magija nestala. Pri tome je potrebno spomenuti i da je u isto vrijeme Cher bila trudna s novim suprugom te punila naslovne stranice tabloida radi muževih eskapada zahvaljujući njegovim ovisnostima o drogama i alkoholu. 1978. godine vraća se malim ekranima, ali u solo inačici u jednokratnom showu imena "Cher... Special", a 1979. godine u showu "Cher And Other Fantasies". Iste godine vraća se i na glazbenu scenu s dva albuma "Take Me Home" (siječanj, 1979.) te "Prisoner" (listopad, 1979.). Prvi album postiže znatno veći uspjeh te istodobno predstavlja i njen prvi susret s disco glazbom koji će joj 90-tih godina ponovno oživjeti karijeru najuspješnijim singlom karijere "Believe" (1998).
Godine 1980. pridružuje se rock grupi Black Rose te tadašnjem dečku, gitaristu i pjevaču Les Dudek-u te s njima objavljuje jedan neuspješan album naziva "Black Rose" te potom kreće na turneju "Take Me Home Tour", svoju prvu samostalnu turneju u karijeri.
Godine 1982. objavljuje potpuno nezamijećen album "I Paralyze" te uspješan singl s Meat Loaf-om naziva "Dead Ringer For Love". Iste godine započinje i glumačku karijeru na Broadway-u u predstavi pod redateljskom palicom Roberta Altman-a, "Come Back To The Five And Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean". Za filmsku verziju spomenute predstave biva nominirana za prestižnu nagradu Golden Globe. 1983. godine glumi uz Meryl Streep i Kurt Russell-a kao lezbijka u filmu po istinitoj priči, "Silkwood". Za ovu ulogu biva nominirana za Oscara te osvaja svoju prvu Golden Globe nagradu. 1985. godine snima film također rađen po istinitom događaju naziva "Mask" i osvaja nagradu za najbolju glumicu na Cannes Film Festivalu iste godine. Veliko iznenađenje je činjenica da za spomenutu ulogu nije bila nominirana za Oscara, ali njena uloga nije ostala nezapažena, čak naprotiv. Godine 1987. se pojavljuje u tri filma: crnoj komediji "Witches Of Eastwick", sudskoj drami "Suspect" te u romantičnoj komediji "Moonstruck" za koji 1988. godine osvaja Golden Globe nagradu te Oscara za najbolju žensku ulogu. Iste godine vraća se i nakon petogodišnje pauze na glazbenu scenu s albumom "Cher" te se njime vraća svojim rock korijenima. 1989. godine objavljuje tada najuspješniji album karijere "Heart Of Stone" s velikim hitom "If I Coul Turn Back Time" te kreće na drugu samostalnu turneju naziva "Heart Of Stone Tour". Godine 1990. vraća se filmskom platnu u filmskoj verziji knjige "Mermaids" istog naziva. 1991. godine slijedi album "Love Hurts" te sljedeće godine i istoimena turneja. U to vrijeme Cher otkriva da boluje od Epstein-Barr virusa nakon dvije godine življenja u neznanju, ali zabrinutosti zbog konstantne iscrpljenosti.
Godine 1995. objavljuje jedan od najboljih, ali zanemarenih albuma svoje karijere, "It's A Man's World" na kojem se nalazi i uspješna obrada Mark Cohen-ove pjesme "Walking In Memphis". Sljedeće godine se pojavljuje u filmu "Faithful" koji ne postiže uspjeh ali iste godine ostvaruje svoj režiserki debi u filmu "If These Walls Could Talk".
Godine 1998. objavljuje do danas najuspješniji singl svoje karijere "Believe" te istoimeni album. Iduće godine kreće na rasprodanu svjetsku turneju naziva "Do You Believe? Tour" te joj spomenuti album donosi prvu Grammy nagradu u karijeri. Iste godine se pojavljuje u filmu "Tea With Mussolini".
2000. godine objavljuje autorski album "Not.Com.mercial" na internetu koji je nastao na konvenciji autora 1994. godine u Francuskoj. Većinu materijala na albumu piše sama te obrađuje mračniju stranu života. Nakon uspješne turneje, 2001. godine objavljuje album "Living Proof" koji ne ostvaruje jednaki uspjeh kao prethodnik te objavljuje da kreće na posljednju turneju karijere pod nazivom "Living proof: The Farewell Tour" koja će trajati od 2002. – 2005. godine i postat će najuspješnija karijera samostalne glazbenice u povijesti. 2003. pojavljuje se u filmu "Stuck On You" u kojem ismijava svoju poziciju u showbusinessu te još jednom dokazuje kako dobro joj leže uloge u komedijama.
Od 2008. – 2011. godine nastupa u Las Vegasu u showu naziva "Cher At The Colosseum". Godine 2010. glumi uz Christinu Aguileru u filmu "Burlesque" u kojem se pojavljuje pjesma "You Haven't Seen The Last Of Me" za koju osvaja Golden Globe nagradu.
2013. godine se nakon jedanaestogodišnje pauze vraća na glazbenu scenu s albumom "Closer to the Truth" te ipak odlučuje još jednom počastiti svoje obožavatelje s turnejom za koju tvrdi da je sigurno posljednja, barem zasad. Turneja nosi naziv "Dressed To Kill Tour" kao jedna od pjesama s posljednjeg albuma.

Even as the disastrous Yosemite Rim Fire was getting snuffed out, I was thinking of the interesting photographic opportunities that could 'rise out of the ashes'. I hoped to wander the burnt forest with a silent blanket of snow. Stark, high-contrast black & white compositions with no sign of life. Perhaps with threatening, looming clouds to add to the drama. But the west side is a long way from Mammoth once Tioga Pass is closed, and those image were never realized.
Early this spring I went searching for the juxtaposition of emerging spring growth and burnt forest. I was greeted by interesting moss and tiny plants clinging to the rich dark dirt. Mushroom clung to the north side of blacken trees and the smallest pine seedlings were emerging. I took note to return to see the forest develop.
Yesterday's thunderstorm were clearing as I drove east up Highway 120. A scenic overlook surveyed the vast area burnt landscape, yet a lush blanket of green covered the the mountainsides. I took the road toward Hetch-Hetchy to revisit the burn area I explored months before.
In a few miles, I rounded a corner to brilliant fields of fresh grass and flowers. What was once a scene of dark muted tones was now a spectacular palette of color. (Well, almost..) The fresh rain darken the earth and refreshed the vibrancy of the spring flora. Patches of Lupine and little yellow flowers lay in harmony with the rust and orange. Meadows of grass blended into ferns at the edge of the forest. Everything covered with tiny droplet of rain water. The colorful carpet of life amongst the pillars of blacken pine forest provided an excellent photographic adventure. But the fading evening light limited time to compose. I'll be visiting this location again.


UC Davis MAE senior design teams at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. Left to right: Katherine Robertson, Christian Zavala, Salim Hasin, Cathy Le, Kyle Eggen, Vincent Ng, Robert Spharler, Francisco de la Cruz, Adriana Henriquez, Bruno Matsui, Robert Woo, Lucas Ang, Christophe Hiltebrandt-McIntosh, Mengsu Yang, Kilian Ginnell, Professor Case van Dam.
NASA's "Ultra Efficient Commercial Transport Challenge" design competition asked students to develop an innovative, efficient design proposal for long-haul commercial air transportation vehicles that reduces energy consumption by at least 60 percent.
These designs are the culmination of two quarters' worth of work, which began in winter quarter 2018 and were submitted to NASA in June. Teams chose a baseline aircraft considered among the best and most efficient and recorded parameters such as weight, takeoff and landing performance, energy consumption, speed and maximum payload weight for comparison. The goal was to design a new aircraft with parameters that are identical or better to a 2005 model while drastically reducing energy consumption.
"What I really appreciate and think is so much fun is to see these students pull together all the knowledge they gained in various courses and use it in the design of this aircraft," said Professor Case van Dam, who acted as a consultant to the design teams.
The teams created 3D concept drawings and wrote proposals explaining their design choices, discussing cost and operation requirements and identifying key technologies that will likely be available by 2045 to fulfill the design. Since it takes years to develop new aeronautical systems, 2045 is a reasonable target date for the design to be put into production.
2045 is also line with NASA's long-term strategic plan to reduce energy consumption in air and spacecraft by 80 percent and transition to alternative propulsion and energy. These goals are projected to meet societal demands for safer and more efficient, flexible and environmentally stable air transportation with the same or better payload capacity, speed and range as what is available today. The competition is a way for NASA to both see what ideas are out there and stimulate interest in aeronautical design.
The honors build upon UC Davis' success in NASA's University Design Challenge. Teams placed first and second in 2015 and two teams tied for second in 2017. Teams from the University of Virginia tied UC Davis for first and third place in 2018.

When is the Proper Time to File for Patent, Trademark, Copyright Protection? »
What is the Difference Between Protection Under the Patent, Trademark and Copyright Statutes?
Often, the three terms are heard interchangeably in casual conversation. However, each of the three statutes has different functions, protections and symbols.
A trademark can be a word, name, symbol or device that is used in commerce to indicate the source of the goods and to distinguish them from the goods of others. Names, phrases or slogans, the way a word is presented, logos and packaging details can all function as trademarks. The purpose of trademark protection is to inform consumers of the source of goods or services. The source becomes synonymous with the quality and characteristics of the goods or services. In this way, a trademark becomes a shortcut for consumers in selecting between products or services. Trademark rights can be used to prevent others from using a confusingly similar mark which could potentially create a likelihood of confusion with the original mark. In the United States, trademark rights are generated by the actual use of marks in commerce. Wherever actual use occurs, the first user of the mark develops common law rights within the geographic scope of use. Common law rights are denoted by either a TM for trademarks or an SM for service marks. These marks show claim, but not official USPTO registration. Common law rights can be extended and enhanced by registering a trademark, either in a particular state or on a national level. A registered trademark enjoys the use of the encircled R.
Something that is original, creative, artistic or literary can be copyrighted. Copyrights protect "original works of authorship." A copyright provides protection for the original and creative expression of an idea that is embodied in a tangible medium. In this instance, originality means that the work has "more than a de minimus level of creativity." Copyright owners can prevent others from doing the following: reproducing the work, preparing derivative works, distributing copies, performing the work publicly, displaying the work publicly, and digitally transmitting the audio of the sound recordings. Registration is not required to acquire copyright; it exists upon the moment of creation. However, in order to pursue a copyright infringement action in court, the owner must have a federal copyright registration. Federal copyright registration is prima facia evidence of the author's ownership of the copyrighted material. The fact that a work is subject to copyright protection is evidenced by the encircled C. Full notice includes three components: the encircled C, the year of publication and the author's name.
Utility patent protection applies to machines, methods, processes, articles of manufacture or composition of matter, and/or improvements thereto, ornamental designs for articles of manufacture. In order to ascertain patent protection, an invention or method of use, at minimum, must be novel, useful and not obvious. In this instance, not obvious refers to what existed previously, and if a skilled professional in the specific field would not have found the invention or method of use an obvious extension or combination. The proper notice for a patent is the word "patent," or, the abbreviation "pat." combined with the number of the patent. If the notice cannot be put on the article, the word "patent" or the combination of "pat." and the patent number can be affixed to the owner's packaging or other advertising materials; such as labels if the package contains more than one article. The words "patent pending" serve as fair notice that a patent registration has been applied for. Once the registration has been approved, the word "Patent" shows full ownership.

EP review: Cold Blue Kid - 'Mimic'
By Sasha Geffen
It must require some courage, I'd imagine, to take the tight, propulsive pop songs you've written and drop them in a vat of reverb and late-'80s synth glaze. When you're working with hooks, it more often than not serves your interests to keep them clean, sharp, ready to slice through the less interesting noise and dig into the skulls of your listeners. Occasionally, though, it's more interesting to start with pop skeletons and wash them out to the point where they're almost unrecognizable.
If you recorded Elizabeth Fraser serenading the Antarctic wastes, the result would be less spacey than Cold Blue Kid's Mimic EP. The Chicago quintet, fronted by songsmith Alex Longoria, scopes expansive, glacial terrain throughout their sophomore release. You almost get dizzy trying to parse the edges of each song. They're all full of so much space that it becomes easy to miss the Echo & the Bunnymen-style pop structures nestled at their cores. But they're there, churning up the froth around them, sneaking through in shrouds of steam. Without them, all that haze would collapse into a puddle of ambiance. Thanks to Longoria's subtle scaffolding, it stays upright.
Like the Cocteau Twins before them, Cold Blue Kid manage to suspend their moodiness in an ethereal timbre. There are points of darkness here, to be sure, but they're hanging in shafts of light. The melancholy remains absolutely weightless. It's not easy to float sadness into the upper atmosphere, but that's exactly what Cold Blue Kid does best of all.
The EP does exhibit a few perplexing tonal choices that disrupt the dream it's trying to seal itself in. The saw wave synth pads and post-punk vox on opener "Hearts of Steel" clash peculiarly with its jangly alt-country guitar leads, and the band swaps out its vocal styles--and vocalists--so frequently that it becomes somewhat difficult to follow a unified emotional narrative. But the moments when every element balances and coalesces into an unbroken mirage make the EP an engaging, transportive endeavor. Mimic could be a Freddy Rupert project sapped of its bite and weight, but it's mostly a dreamy assembly of all the sounds of the '80s that were never once subject to gravity.
Stream the single "Maybe Town" below. If you like what you hear, you can catch Cold Blue Kid live at Schubas tonight at 9pm.

Hello friends I hope they are well known are many seeds such as sunflower, papaya, pumpkin and others that bring many benefits to our body, but you knew that watermelon seeds are also part of the seeds with benefits , the main component of the shell of the seeds of watermelon is the fiber, and the seed that is in its interior stands out for its richness in nutrient.
These seeds are a particularly useful ingredient for the treatment of diseases of the kidneys and the urinary tract. The use of fresh watermelon or tea seeds will remove stones and sand in the kidneys.

WBO number one junior middleweight contender Dennis 'Hurricane' Hogan 28-1-1 (7) will get his long awaited world shot in the coming months after the WBO ordered their champion Jaime Munguia 32-0 (26) to begin negotiations for a mandatory title defence.
The Puerto Rico-based sanctioning body issued a letter dated January 31 to Munguia's promoters Golden Boy Promotions and Zanfer Promotions, as well as Hogan's promoter DDP Sports. All parties have 30 days to negotiate terms and reach an agreement for the fight.
The 22-year-old Munguia has openly discussed his desire to unify his championship belt with the two other recognised titleholders in his division, WBA and IBF boss Jarrett Hurd and newly-minted WBC kingpin Tony Harrison, before moving up to the marquee middleweight division.
Australian-based Irishman Hogan, 33, plans to throw a spanner in the works.
There has been talk of Munguia's next fight taking place on the undercard of Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez versus Daniel Jacobs on May 4 in Las Vegas, Nevada, but Munguia recently revealed his team is looking at an earlier fight date of April 13 in Monterrey, Mexico. This would place the fight on the opposite side of the country to Munguia's hometown of Tijuana.
This doesn't sit well with Paul Keegan of DDP Sports, who says he will do everything in his power to bring the world championship fight to Brisbane, Australia.
"We have no interest in going to Mexico but as stated we have until the end of February to lock in a fight," Keegan said.
The minimum acceptable bid for a WBO junior middleweight title fight is $200,000.
Munguia successfully defended the title for the third time last month in what many observers and pundits believed was a subpar performance when largely unheralded Japanese boxer Takeshi Inoue 13-1-1 (7) extended him the 12-round championship distance in a competitive fight.
Hogan is coming off a 12-round points win over Jamie Weetch 12-3 (5) last December.

DeLano will contest Newman's 1 vote lead in District 50 Senate race
LIVE REPORT: Newman pulls ahead of Delano in Senate District 50 race vote count
By WLOX Staff | August 7, 2019 at 5:19 PM CDT - Updated August 8 at 5:14 PM
BILOXI, Miss. (WLOX) - Scott DeLano plans to contest the results of the District 50 Senate race after a missing thumb drive created a one-vote lead for his opponent Dixie Newman.
During Wednesday's affidavit ballot count, the Biloxi councilwoman pulled ahead of her opponent. The tables turned when a thumb drive, one of two from the the North Bay Precinct, turned up and it was determined it had not been counted. When the votes on that drive were counted, Newman pulled ahead by one vote.
Three affidavit ballots were not opened during that count because the voters did not have proper ID on election day. But WLOX News Now has learned that the votes were not in the district for that state senate seat, meaning even if the proper identification was presented and the votes were counted, they wouldn't impact the District 50 Senate race.
DeLano told WLOX New Now on Thursday he will be asking for a "physical count of all the ballots and election day materials." State law allows for a candidate a "full examination of the ballot box(es) and their contents."
DeLano said his team is drafting the required notification letter to the GOP Executive Committee, the circuit clerk and Newman.
"These elections are not for the candidate, they are for the voters," DeLano said. "We are going to ensure that each vote is counted properly."
WLOX spoke with Newman, and she said she is confident the result of the election will remain the same.
"If the shoe was on the other foot I would also be asking for a recount, so it's within his right to do so. We're just going to be hoping for a positive outcome and we ask our supporters to continue to pray for us," she said. "Regardless those numbers would have shown up eventually compared to the books. We're going to hit the ground running for now, if the results change, then they change, but we're going to stay positive."
Circuit Clerk Connie Ladner said this is the first election the county put more than one ballot scanner at some precincts. Each of Harrison County's 53 voting precincts always have one ballot scanner, the machine voters feed their ballot into after marking their choices. This election in an effort "to alleviate some of the long lines, we put two machines at some of the busiest precincts," Ladner said.
Ten precincts throughout the county had two ballot scanning machines. The information from each scanner ends up on a thumb drive, and that info is read off the drive to get the master vote total election night.
Though the bags that carry all of the election materials from the precincts to the courthouse for tallying were marked if they had two thumb drives, someone failed to remove one of the two North Bay precinct drives from the bag Tuesday night. That mistake was discovered Wednesday afternoon as the election commission verified the affidavits and reconciled the election books and other materials. Once they confirmed those votes on the second North Bay drive were not in the Tuesday tally, they were added to the count along with the handful of affidavit ballots.
The District 50 seat is vacant after Tommy Gollott announced his retirement in February. Gollot was the longest serving state lawmaker in Mississippi history at the end of the 2019 legislative session.

Plymouth City Centre
The four giant 'pineapples' on Charles Church are getting a £100,000 makeover
The council says it's vital the site continues to be preserved
Millicent Cooke
The council is replacing four giant pineapples at the top of Charles Church with exact replicas as part of a £100,000 renovation project.
The crumbling pineapples, which each weigh a tonne, are being taken down from the top of the church so that workmen can make moulds and produce brand new copies of the originals.
Workers are on site now to repair stonework and protect the structure of the Grade I listed building.
Team leader Gordon Kinvig emphasised the importance of the renovations.
He said: "It may be a ruin, but we still need to make sure that the structure is safe.
The renovation work will cost around £100,000
"Its position on a roundabout means that some of the more fine stonework is affected by vibration from the heavy traffic over a long period of time."
Gordon added: "We believe the pineapples were post-war and made of a mixture of cement bound stone.
The damp and drab Barne Barton estate which is being torn down and rebuilt
"Unfortunately they are crumbling – causing safety concerns for anyone who visits the monument."
Charles Church was built in 1641 and named in honour of King Charles I. It was destroyed in 1941 as a result of incendiary bombing.
After the bombings, it was left as a ruin to honour the 1,200 civilians who lost their lives in Plymouth.
The council says it has to make sure Charles Church continues to be preserved
When the war ended, it was decided that Charles Church would not be rebuilt but left as a permanent memorial.
Cabinet Member for Finance and Assets, Councillor Ian Darcy said: "This monument is very important to the people of Plymouth.
"It has been deliberately left as a ruin as a lasting reminder of the Blitz, but we have to look after it and make sure it does not deteriorate further."
Hopes remain the public will be able to have access to the bombed out site
Further works include re-texturing or scabbling the flagstone walkways to form a non-slip surface around the outside of the church, removing foliage that harms the structure of the church and repointing stonework to stabilise the walls.
The tracery, which is the stonework within the window frames, will also be repaired as they are beginning to fall apart.
What it's really like to live in Ernesettle - by the people who live there
As reported by The Herald, dreams of opening up the iconic Charles Church to the public could hang in the balance as a £3million shake-up of the roundabout looms.
For years city councillors, along with Plymouth's newest MP Luke Pollard, have dreamed of making the bomb-out church – left as a memorial to the 1,200 civilians killed in the Blitz – more accessible.
Local councillor, Chris Penberthy and Labour's Luke Pollard
And it was the hope of some that the huge £40million redevelopment of Bretonside would help these plans come to fruition.
Latest designs for pedestrian crossings and road layouts at the multiplex development make no mention of a route to the iconic landmark, Plymouth Labour MP Pollard said there is still scope for the council to draw up separate plans to make the vision a reality.

Q: User's Exchange 2010 emails disappearing I've encountered a very strange user issue with regards to Microsoft Exchange Server 2010. Emails seem to be vanishing, it could be one or many at a time. It's very infrequent and has only been happening to one user in this company.
For example, it was reported yesterday that an entire day's worth of emails disappeared shortly after it was viewed by the user. The account is linked to multiple devices. The company mainly works on a Terminal Server, but the issue has not occurred with any other user.
Search-MailboxAuditLog has been used to track down any strange or deliberate activity of the specific user.
Unfortunately that has not returned any usable information on the issue. The only thing that's seen around the times audited are "Partially Succeeded" Operation Results relating to MoveToDeletedItems initiated from an Android device. And those were not related to the ones that were missing as per the user. User's Outlook client has also been checked for Recover Deleted Items, Deleted Items Folder and any other folder the emails could have been moved to, but still none of the items were found. Honestly its very difficult to pinpoint a specific cause.
If anyone is able to help it would be greatly appreciated, and help me solving issues that could pop up in the future.
Exchange Server 2010, Version 14.03.0361.001 is being used along with Outlook 2010, Version 14.0.7181.5000(32 bit).
Thanks again

When she discovers his secret, will she attempt to stand in the way of his childhood dreams? Or will he unwittingly become the new target when her past ultimately catches up with her?
Kerri: Danny, welcome and thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to chat with us today.
Danny: Oh, well…anything for you.
Kerri: Ah, you flatter me. Now, knock that off or everyone will think that what they say about hockey players is indeed true.
Danny: Oh yeah, and what do they say about hockey players?
Kerri: That they are players, of course. And I don't mean just players of hockey but players in the field of women as well.
Danny: That's definitely the case with some guys. I just don't happen to be one of them.
Kerri: That's good to hear. Now, I guess we should get started with your interview.
Danny: If we must. I would really much rather hear about you instead.
Kerri: Me? Why is that? Your life is far more interesting. What with the professional hockey, your quest to make the Olympic Team and all the drama that you recently went through with Jana.
Danny: I can't really talk about that.
Danny: No, I can't really talk about Jana right now.
Kerri: Hmm…well I was hoping you could tell the readers more about how you met and that sort of thing.
Danny: I'd really rather not. I'd really rather talk about the author who brought us to life. I mean we wouldn't even be here if it weren't for you.
Kerri (blushing): Really, it was just something that I needed to do. Your story simply needed to be told.
Danny: I have to say that I'm glad that you did. I mean, there were parts of the book that I would have rather avoided. Of course, I can't go into that now but let's just say that all's well that ends well. Ya know?
Kerri: Yes, well…I guess it is tricky to talk about a book where there's murder and kidnapping and all sorts of other action involved without giving away too much about the story for those who haven't read it.
Danny: Exactly. I, personally, love surprises and I want all your readers to enjoy the story unblemished and unspoiled.
Kerri: Fair enough. So, how about if you just tell everyone if Perrot managed to get his teeth repaired?
Danny (laughing): Sadly, no. Even though the epilogue doesn't cover that tidbit, I can safely tell you that he's still the same toothless aggravation that he was in the book.
Danny: Excuse me, do you mind if I take this…it may be important?
Danny has a brief conversation and then snaps the phone shut.
Danny: I hate to cut our conversation short but I'm going to have to run. Steele is going to need my help.
Kerri: Oooh, would that be the same Steele who appears in my bestselling debut novel entitled Miss Taken (now available from Whispers Publishing)?
Danny (grinning ear to ear): You know the answer to that but I appreciate you taking the opportunity to plug one of your other books while we are here discussing mine.
Kerri: Always looking for the next sale, Danny. Just like you're always looking for the next goal.
Danny (standing and bowing slightly): Touché.

OxyContin Withdrawal
Home » Drug and Alcohol Withdrawal » OxyContin Withdrawal
What Are the Opiate Withdrawal Symptoms?
What Are the Stages of the OxyContin Withdrawal Timeline?
The opioid crisis is more than likely a disaster that you've either heard of or experienced firsthand. Never has there been a crisis in the United States that has claimed as many lives as the opioid overdose crisis. The epidemic continues to grow direr by the day, and an estimated 130 people in the United States lose their lives every day after overdosing on opioids.
Prescription opiates like OxyContin have contributed significantly to this crisis since its inception in the 1990s. OxyContin, which contains the active ingredient known as oxycodone, is a drug that is commonly referred to as hillbilly heroin. It is sometimes seen as a gateway to more potent substances like heroin or fentanyl.
The World Health Organization recently released a report that showed a significant decrease in life expectancy in the United States because of opioid abuse.
"The opioid epidemic plays a large role in the continuing decline," the researchers noted. With such a significant part of our population addicted to drugs like OxyContin, heroin, or fentanyl, it's no wonder that we have been experiencing such travesties in our nation. If there is any silver lining, however, it's that access to treatment has become much easier. With President Donald Trump declaring the opioid crisis a national public health emergency in 2017, it has funneled funding to help those addicted to opioids like OxyContin into treatment.
Opioid drugs are potent substances that can create dependence that is followed by addiction. Once someone has become addicted to a drug like OxyContin, they may find it increasingly difficult to abstain from the substance without help. OxyContin withdrawal symptoms are not inherently dangerous when compared to alcohol or benzodiazepines, but they do contain other risks.
Someone going through OxyContin withdrawal may try to stop on their own and realize it is too harsh a task to overcome alone, turn back to drugs, and overdose because their tolerance has decreased significantly. Let's take an in-depth look at what someone can expect while going through OxyContin withdrawal.
Opioid withdrawal symptoms come in two phases. The first will be similar to what you'd expect from the common cold whereas the second phase will take on more flu-like symptoms.
Physical symptoms aside, OxyContin withdrawal can also come with intense emotional and psychological symptoms. Anxiety and agitation may be a part of the first phase and depression can occur in the second phase. In many cases, depression can cause suicidal thoughts. Because of this, it is crucial to seek help from an addiction specialist to treat your addiction.
The initial phases of OxyContin withdrawal symptoms include:
Increased tearing
Hot and cold flashes
During the second phase, symptoms will peak and become even more uncomfortable. These include:
Cramping
Pupil dilation
Strong drug cravings are often correlated with symptoms of withdrawal, and when that is added to the other uncomfortable symptoms, it can be nearly impossible to deal with OxyContin withdrawal alone.
While OxyContin is not as dangerous as you'd expect from alcohol or benzodiazepines, it is a challenge to get through. Opiate withdrawal is hard to withstand, and those who attempt to stop alone often relapse. Medical detox is the most efficient and safest method to get out of active OxyContin addiction.
OxyContin withdrawals are going to vary based on the level of chemical dependency. These symptoms can range from moderate to severe based on the length of time the drug was used, how much was used, and the dosage in which you are tolerant. The amount of the last dose will also play a role in what to expect.
The most common OxyContin withdrawal is a severe craving for the substance. In some cases, it will be almost irresistible to stop using the substance, and this can lead to drug-seeking behavior such as looking for alternative opioids like heroin.
Drug cravings can also include withdrawal symptoms that start as mild but increase with intensity over time. Longer-acting opioids such as OxyContin can take up to 24 hours before the initial withdrawal symptoms begin.
The early cold-like symptoms will start first and last a few days. Around the 72-hour point, the symptoms will begin to peak and mimic the flu. After 72 hours, however, the symptoms will start to increase in their intensity. Most symptoms will dissipate in a week, but fatigue, depression, anxiety, and insomnia could persist for as long as a month or more.
If the symptoms persist longer than a month, you must speak with an addiction specialist. These symptoms can indicate post-acute withdrawal symptoms (PAWS), which could last months or even years after abstaining from use.
If you are serious about sobriety and want to achieve long-term abstinence, the short answer is yes, you should commit to medical detox. Quitting cold turkey can have severe effects on the body and mind. Abrupt cessation of OxyContin is risky when you have been engaging in high doses of the drug for an extended period. The higher the tolerance to OxyContin, the more intense the withdrawals and comedown will be.
Opioid withdrawal is not something to try and manage at home. You are susceptible to overdosing, as your sensitivity for the drug's effects will increase, and your tolerance to the effects will decrease.
If you begin to experience these terrible drug cravings, it may be impossible to resist the urge to use again. If this occurs, you would have to start all over again and experience these effects.Detoxing from OxyContin should not be done at home. Dehydration can present itself in the first stage of withdrawal when you begin to sweat. If you experience confusion, diarrhea, vomiting, or extreme fatigue, it can cause a dire situation. Dehydration can produce its own set of symptoms that can lead to medical complications.
During a stint in medical detoxification, licensed professionals and experienced clinicians will help wean you off OxyContin safely. The treatment program can also offer medications that eradicate some of the more severe symptoms that may be experienced. The emotional side effects of withdrawal while foregoing this process alone can be dangerous and exacerbate psychological symptoms. It is always wise to have help along the way and can be a vital step in a successful detox.
Lastly, medical detox can also hold you accountable to your commitment to sobriety. Detoxing alone often results in falling right back into the trap of addiction when attempting on your own. The clinicians can often empathize with your position and help keep you on track.
Addiction recovery is not over once you complete detox. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) suggests that staying in addiction treatment for the proper length of time is essential to a successful recovery. The research shows that you need at least three months of treatment to endure what it takes for lasting recovery. Committing yourself to the continuum of treatment is essential.
The continuum of treatment refers to addiction recovery that starts at an intensive level of care (detox) and decreases in intensity to residential or outpatient treatment. During addiction treatment, the program should offer a combination of therapies that support your current needs.
You also must be involved in some addiction support group long-term. The continual commitment is the best way to ensure lifelong sobriety and a healthy life abstaining from OxyContin.

According to nlcafe.hu, building companies while being faithful to traditions can be very successful. This is best shown by historic Hungarian brands, which have been in the hands of the same families since their foundation and which pass on the tradition from generation to generation.
Hungary is rich in famous and successful dynasties in the field of art, business, politics and science. Even though the careers of these families are very different, there's one similarity: their success is not only owed to their inherited talent, but also the preservation of family traditions.
Zsolnay family
Miklós Zsolnay, the founder of one of the most famous Hungarian brands, was a talented, creative and quite innovative artisan. He didn't only start a successful factory in his pottery manufacture found in Lukafa in 1853, but also a brand that has been passed on from generation to generation. Both of his sons (Ignác and Vilmos) followed in his track, and their children (Vilmos's two daughters and Ignác's one son), were also tied to the factory.

Legend has it that the fourth generation basically grew up in the factory, because their parents made a lot of effort to perfect their artistic talent – which generally characterised the family members and which made the Zsolnay brand unique and matchless – while teaching them the tricks and secrets of production and business.

Zwack family
227 years have passed since Dr Zwack first presented his famous beverage to Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Hungary. It is believed that it was the emperor who named the liquor-like drink, which was served as a cure to help digestion.
After tasting it, he called it "ein Unicum", in other words: a unique specialty.

Even though József Zwack only founded the first Zwack factory fifty years later, he didn't forget the words of the king and named the beverage Unicum. The tradition has been the unquestionable base of the Unicum brand and the Zwack family since then. All five generations had some kind of connection with the famous factory.

Auguszt family
The most famous Hungarian confectioner dynasty has been pampering guests with the most delicious desserts for five generations. Since the opening of the confectionery in 1870, the business has always been led by the family. Even though there were children in all generations who wanted to follow different paths, they all ended up in the confectionery sooner or later.

For instance, the son of the founder Elek Auguszt, József, wanted to be an artist, but he respected his family so much that he ended up not only learning his father's profession, but also developing it. Moreover, he opened new shops in Krisztinaváros and on the Hidegkúti Road.
József also stepped out of the frameworks of a simple confectionery, and he became the army's first official chocolate subcontractor during WWI.
If you visit the Auguszt Confectionery found in Fény Street, you're guaranteed to find fifth generation offsprings behind the counter and in the kitchen.

As my NAS (network attached storage) drives are getting full from RAW photos, I need to offload the files onto multiple external drives for safe storage. I purchased a few Seagate Expansion drives in 2TB and 4TB variants for different backups, making two copies each for redundancy. The first decision when getting the new drives was how to format them. I decided to use exFAT table for maximum compatibility for read and write on Windows and Mac systems. The default NTFS table is read-only for Macs. The second decision was harder, what file allocation unit size? Most searches on Google just recommended the default size, which would be 4096kb on the 4TB drive. That was a bad idea and a waste of valuable disk space. I was able to recover a lot more with a simple calculation.

Painel é um lugar pouco populoso localizado na freguesia portuguesa de Seiça, no concelho de Ourémhttp://digitarq.adstr.arquivos.pt/details?id=1005121, sendo grande parte dos seus poucos moradores descendentes de Salustiano Faria. É neste lugar que está edificada a Adega Cooperativa de Ourém e localizado um local de oração famoso e bem conhecido pelos fregueses da zona, cujo nome era Painel.

Painel, o local de oração

No final do século XIX, Salustiano Faria pretendeu adquirir um pinheiro de grande porte que se encontrava no limite da Quinta do Casal dos Frades com a Estrada Nacional 356. Ao contactar o dono da Quinta, este não se mostrou interessado em vender o referido pinheiro porque a árvore era diferente das outras, visto que tinha cravada uma cruz.

Acabaram por chegar a acordo da venda do pinheiro, mas, em contrapartida, Salustiano Faria tinha de construir um pequeno local de oração que substituísse a referida cruz. Este local de oração passou a chamar-se Painel. Na época, como não havia muitos meios de transporte, a maioria das pessoas deslocavam-se a pé e sempre que passavam em frente do Painel benziam-se e colocavam lá a sua esmola. Com esse dinheiro eram mandadas celebrar missas pelas almas do Purgatório.

Ainda hoje se continua a guardar o dinheiro das esmolas para as almas do Purgatório, estando essa tarefa a cargo da senhora Ermelinda(neta de Salustiano Faria), que vive no lugar do Painel.

A tripod censer in a blend of tradition and art-deco by Ito Tozan II. Ribs extend from the legs up the sides, adding a sculptural quality to the otherwise traditional form. It features a brass lid pierced with geometric designs accentuating the sense of modernity. Stamped on the base, it is 13 cm (5 inches) diameter and in excellent condition. It comes enclosed in the original signed wooden box.
Ito Tozan I (1846-1920) began as a painter in the Maruyama school studying under Koizumi Togaku. In 1862 he became a pupil of Kameya Kyokutei, as well as studying under Takahashi Dohachi III and Kanzan Denshichi (who made the dishes for the imperial table). In 1867, with the fall of the Edo government, he opened his kiln in Eastern Kyoto. Much prized at home, he was also recognized abroad at the Amsterdam, Paris and Chicago World Expositions. With an emphasis on Awata and Asahi wares of Kyoto, he began to use the name Tozan around 1895. In 1917 he was named a member of the Imperial Art Academy, one of only five potters ever given that title, and like his teacher Denshichi, created the dishes from which the Imperial family would eat. He worked very closely with his adopted son, Ito Tozan II (1871-1937). He too began life as a painter, but his talent was seen by Tozan I, who adopted him and converted him to pottery, where he both succeeded and excelled as a member of one of Kyotos most well known pottery families. Although Tozan I was most well known for earthenware, Tozan II expanded the family name to become quite popular in porcelain. With only 17 years of production, works signed by him are rare. He was succeeded by his son Tozan III (1901-1970).

Q: Product Rule and Distributions Suppose $f,g$ are smooth functions and $\phi$ is a test function.
the product rule for distributions has that:
$$[fg]'\{\phi\}=[fg]\{-\phi'\}=[f'g]\{\phi\}+[fg']\{\phi\} $$
I would like to multiply the derivative $[fg]'\{\phi\}$ by $\frac{1}{g(x)}$. Concretely, suppose everything is defined on $(0,\infty)$ and $g(x)=e^{-x}$. Is is correct that:
$$[fg]'\{\phi\}=\int_0^\infty [f(x)'e^{-x}\phi(x) - f(x)e^{-x}\phi(x)]dx$$
and so
$$\frac{1}{g(x)}([fg]'\{\phi\})=\int_0^\infty [f(x)'\phi(x) - f(x)\phi(x)]dx$$

A: Assume that $f,g,\phi$ are supported on $(0,\infty).$ Then,
$$
[fg]′\{ϕ\}
= -[fg]\{ϕ′\}
= -\int_0^\infty f(x)\,g(x)\,\phi'(x)\,dx
= \int_0^\infty (fg)'(x)\,\phi(x)\,dx
.
$$
With $g(x)=e^{-x}$ this becomes
$$
\int_0^\infty (fe^{-\bullet})'(x)\,\phi(x)\,dx
= \int_0^\infty (f'e^{-\bullet}-fe^{-\bullet})(x)\,\phi(x)\,dx
= \int_0^\infty (f'(x)e^{-x}-f(x)e^{-x})\,\phi(x)\,dx
.
$$


There is a reason why nobody is ever able to correctly predict the March Madness "bracket" every year.
Without fail, top-seeded teams fall, leaving teams like Auburn and Texas Tech to play for all of the glory. Top teams like Duke, Gonzaga and others bowed out early in the tournament, leaving Auburn, Virginia, Texas Tech and Michigan State to battle for all of the glory.
Nobody would argue that Virginia and Michigan State aren't the two best teams remaining in the tournament. In a normal world, the finals of the NCAA tournament would be those two teams squaring off against each other.
This is "March Madness", however, where absolutely anything can happen.
Of the two semi-final match-ups, Virginia is the biggest favourite, as they have a six point edge over Auburn.
Virginia finished the season as the #2 team in the nation behind Duke, as Virginia managed to finish with a record of 33-3, including a very impressive 10-1 record on the road. Virginia knows how to win when they are not at home.
Michigan State, on the other hand, finished as the #5 team in the nation, compiling a record of 32-6 in the regular season. Michigan State was not nearly as good on the road, as they finished the year with an away record of 8-4, though they were one of college basketball's hottest teams at the end of the season. In basketball, momentum is everything, and Michigan State has it right now, to be sure.
Texas Tech finished the regular season as the #9 team in the nation, while Auburn was the #14 team.

Here are 5 strategies and tips for promoting your videos on YouTube. You can use this as a quick guide and checklist.
First, have great content. Be helpful, creative or entertaining, or better yet, all three. Answer a question. Solve a problem. People tend to share videos that are useful and makes their life easier (ie. Life Hacks). Videos that are funny, entertaining and short also tend to be very popular. Here are some ideas for you to get started: You can respond to a recent trend, or play on the cute or emotional factor to connect with your audience. People have also combined two elements together to create entertaining videos (ie. dancing while playing the violin at the same time) You can also make a series of videos and create hype and suspense for a long term campaign. The key thing is great content is the foundation of a strong video marketing campaign.
2. Have strong Keywords to be found easily.
Make sure you fill in all of YouTube's title forms and descriptions with relevant Keywords. Every form box is a chance for you to optimise your video and make it more visible. If you have a website, create individual pages for your videos and make sure to add a short summary and description too. You can also use Google Adwords for a budget friendly option that boosts the exposure of your YouTube videos. This is a powerful tool that you should utilise. All these SEO efforts will help in making your video more visible on the Internet.
3. Make sure your video is easy to share.
Make it convenient for your viewers to share. This means making sure privacy settings are set to public, and that your videos have the embed option enabled. By hosting your video on social video sharing websites like YouTube, you make it easier for viewers to share with their followers and friends with just one click. Word of mouth is a powerful action and it is also how many videos became viral. Also make sure to include strong call to actions inside your video- you can encourage viewers to share, like or subscribe.
You can also pay YouTube to get your video out there. Pick from banner ads, overlay in-video ads, skippable TrueView ads before a video, non-skippable ads inserted before a video, or TrueView display ads that appear as 'suggestions' at the side. All these have different functions and varying results. You also do not pay until someone choose to watch your ad, eliminating the chance that you pay for the ad even when someone is not interested (depending on the type and plan you choose). You will also see what works or not with YouTube's analytic tools.
5. Launch it with your other Online Marketing Tools.
To maximise target audience reach, your video can be part of an online marketing campaign that involves Facebook, your website and other social platforms. Utilise your Facebook Page and Facebook Paid Advertising to boost engagement posts. Work consistently across the platforms- this will help create hype and spread the word in different online spheres.
