\section{Introduction}
Discovered in 1995 at the Tevatron $p\bar{p}$ collider by the CDF and D0 collaborations \cite{CDF,D0}, the top quark is known as the heaviest particle in the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. In the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) \cite{LHC}, top quarks are produced in pairs through the strong interaction and individually through electroweak processes via proton-proton collisions. With a mass around 173 GeV close to the electroweak symmetry breaking scale, measurements of the top quark properties can provide an important tool in terms of tests of the Standard Model. The top quark has an extremely short life time that leads to a decay before hadronization, providing a unique opportunity to study the bare quark properties. Due to the high production rate of the top quark at the LHC, top quark properties measurements are of great importance.

In this context, using data taken at centre-of-mass energies of $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV and 8 TeV, a variety of analyses are carried out by the ATLAS collaboration \cite{ATLAS} where some of the most recently obtained results are discussed here.

\section{Charge asymmetry}
The production rate difference in positive and negative absolute rapidity difference between top quarks and top antiquarks known as charge asymmetry ($A_{C}$), defined as

\begin{equation}
A_{C} = \frac{N(\Delta |y| > 0) - N(\Delta |y| < 0)}{N(\Delta |y| > 0) + N(\Delta |y| < 0)} ,
\label{eq:AC}
\end{equation}
is one of the interesting features of \ensuremath{t\bar{t}\ } production in $p\bar{p}$ collisions. The Standard Model at next-to-leading order (NLO) in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) predicts a charge asymmetry at the level of $A_{C} \sim 1\%$. On the other hand, several processes beyond the Standard Model (BSM) can alter $A_{C}$, either with anomalous vector or axial-vector couplings (e.g. axi-gluons) or via interference with SM processes, predicting different asymmetries.

One of the latest charge asymmetry measurements at ATLAS uses the full $\sqrt{s}$ = 8 TeV data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb$^{-1}$ in the single-lepton final state (where one top quark decays to a leptonically decaying \textit{W} boson and the other top quark decays to a hadronically decaying \textit{W} boson). The result was obtained inclusively and differentially as a function of invariant mass, transverse momentum and longitudinal boost ($\beta_{Z}$) of the \ensuremath{t\bar{t}\ } system, requiring at least four jets, one high $p_{T}$ lepton and missing transverse energy. The events are reconstructed via a kinematic likelihood fit method~\cite{klfitter} and a Bayesian unfolding procedure is applied
to account for distortions due to the acceptance and detector effects, leading to parton-level $A_{C}$ measurements. The inclusive measurement yields a value of $A_{C} =0.009 \pm 0.005$ (stat. + syst.)~\cite{CA}.

In addition, ATLAS performed the charge asymmetry measurement in the boosted topology \cite{CA_boost}, by reconstructing the hadronic hemisphere of the \ensuremath{t\bar{t}\ } event as one large-radius jet with radius parameter $R=1.0$ and $p_{T} > 300$ GeV inclusively and differentially. The boosted topology provides an accurate $A_{C}$ measurement as a function of the \ensuremath{t\bar{t}\ } invariant mass ($m_{\ensuremath{t\bar{t}\ }}$) in the TeV range by a more precise reconstruction of $m_{\ensuremath{t\bar{t}\ }}$ for events with highly boosted top quarks. The inclusive measurement for $m_{\ensuremath{t\bar{t}\ }} > $0.75 TeV and $|\Delta |y|| < 2$ yields $A_{C}=(4.2 \pm 3.2)\% $, that is within one standard deviation of the SM expectation. Furthermore, the differential measurement as function of the invariant mass of the \ensuremath{t\bar{t}\ } system disfavours t-channel W$^{'}$ boson model\cite{AguilarSaavedra:2011hz} in the highest $m_{\ensuremath{t\bar{t}\ }}$ bin.

Figure \ref{fig:AC} shows the differential $A_{C}$ measurement in resolved and boosted topologies as a function of $m_{\ensuremath{t\bar{t}\ }}$. These measurements provide a constraint on extensions of the SM. The results of both measurements agree with the SM prediction.

\section{Rare decays of the top quark}
Within the Standard Model, flavour changing neutral currents (FCNC) are forbidden at tree level and are heavily suppressed via the GIM mechanism \cite{GIM}. In contrast, many BSM models predict significant enhancements at the level of the experimental accessibility, making this top quark property measurements an area of high interest. Within this context, ATLAS performed various searches for FCNC processes such as recent searches for $\mathscr{B}(t \rightarrow qH)$ \cite{FCNC_qH} and $\mathscr{B}(t \rightarrow qZ)$ \cite{FCNC_qZ}, using \ensuremath{t\bar{t}\ } events produced in the full $\sqrt{s}$ = 8 TeV data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb$^{-1}$, with one top quark decaying through the FCNC mode and the other through the SM dominant mode ($t \rightarrow bW$). Only the decays of the Higgs boson to $b\bar{b}$ and the Z boson to charged leptons and leptonic \textit{W} boson decays are considered, respectively. The final state topology of the top decay through the $tqH$ process  is characterised by an isolated high transverse momentum lepton and at least four jets. The final state characteristics of top quark decays through the $tqZ$ process is given by three isolated charged leptons, at least two jets, and missing transverse momentum from the undetected neutrino.

For the $tqH$ process, results from other ATLAS searches with $H \rightarrow \gamma \gamma$ and $H \rightarrow W^{+}W^{-}, \tau^{+}\tau^{-}$ have been combined with $H \rightarrow b\bar{b}$ to obtain the most restrictive direct bounds on $tqH$ interactions measured so far. Figure \ref{fig:FCNC_comined} summarises the best fit for the individual searches as well as their combination.

\begin{figure}[ht]
\begin{center}
		\includegraphics[height=55mm]{figures/FCNC_combined_tHu.png}
		\includegraphics[height=55mm]{figures/FCNC_combined_tHc.png}
	\caption{The best-fit for the individual searches as well as their combination for (top) $\mathscr{B}(t \rightarrow Hu)$, assuming that $\mathscr{B}(t \rightarrow Hc) =0$ and (bottom) $\mathscr{B}(t \rightarrow Hc)$, assuming that $\mathscr{B}(t \rightarrow Hu) =0$ \cite{FCNC_qH}.}
	\label{fig:FCNC_comined}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

No evidence for signal events above the background expectation is found, but the established limits for these FCNC processes are in agreement with the expected theoretical limits.

\section{Spin correlation}
Because of the extreme short lifetime of the top quark, it decays before hadronization and that implies that the spin information of the top quark can be accessed from the angular momentum distributions of its decay products. The degree of correlation between the spin of the top quark and the top anti-quark is sensitive to the production mechanism. However, many scenarios of physics beyond the Standard Model predict different spin correlations, e.g. models including axi-gluons, $W^{'}$ bosons, extra right handed top-quark coupling, etc.

A recent measurement of the correlations between the polar angles of leptons from the decay of top quarks in \ensuremath{t\bar{t}\ } events in the helicity basis carried out at the ATLAS experiment \cite{Spin}. The data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb$^{-1}$ at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV with candidate events selected in the dilepton topology (where both top quarks in the \ensuremath{t\bar{t}\ } event decay to a leptonically decaying \textit{W} boson) with large missing transverse momentum and at least two jets. The angles $\theta_{1}$ and $\theta_{2}$ between the charged leptons and the direction of motion of the parent quarks in the \ensuremath{t\bar{t}\ } system rest frame are sensitive to the spin information, and the distribution of $\cos \theta_{1}.\cos \theta_{2}$ is sensitive to the spin correlation between the top quark and the top anti-quark. The events are reconstructed via the so called topology reconstruction method and the result is unfolded to the parton level using a fully Bayesian unfolding algorithm. The unfolded distribution is in good agreement with the prediction from MC@NLO \cite{MC_NLO} as displayed in Fig. \ref{fig:Spin}.

In terms of $A_{helicity}=(N_{like}-N_{unlike})/(N_{like}+N_{unlike})$, where $N_{like}$ ($N_{unlike}$) is the number of events where the spins of the top quark and top anti-quark are (anti-)parallel with respect to the helicity basis, the result yields a value of $A_{helicity}= 0.315 \pm 0.061(stat.) \pm 0.049(syst.)$, and is in a good agreement with the NLO QCD prediction of   $A_{helicity}= 0.31$ \cite{NLO_correlation}.

	\caption{The unfolded data distribution of $\cos \theta_{1}.\cos \theta_{2}$. The predictions from the SM and the MC@NLO sample without spin correlation are overlaid for comparison. A symmetric distribution around zero would indicate no spin correlation \cite{Spin}.}

\end{center}

\section{Conclusion}
Measuring top quark properties with high precision is a very good probe for the Standard Model and could potentially open a window to beyond Standard Model physics.
A variety of recent measurements of top quark properties at ATLAS are discussed. Inclusive and differential charge asymmetry measurements in resolved and boosted topologies in the single lepton final state at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}$ = 8 TeV are presented. The measurement with boosted topology extended the reach of previous ATLAS and CMS\cite{CMS_CA} measurements to beyond 1 TeV and disfavours a t-channel W$^{'}$ boson model in the highest $m_{\ensuremath{t\bar{t}\ }}$ bin. However, no significant deviation from the SM expectation is observed. Having the data statistics as the limiting factor in these measurements, analysing the LHC Run II data with higher centre-of-mass energy of collision and luminosity will be of great interest.
Furthermore, several searches for the observation of the flavour changing neutral current processes carried out with no significant evidence. An increased amount of data and improved measurement techniques will soon improve the current limits. The measurement of the correlations between the polar angles of leptons from the decay of the pair-produced top quark and top antiquark in the helicity basis in dilepton final state at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV confirms the spin correlation in top quark decay and is in good agreement with the predictions of the Standard Model.

Area lifters had numerous top 10 finishes Saturday at the state powerlifting meet, including a couple of near-state title showings.
Two West Texas athletes -- Reagan County's Tristan Ortiz and Irion County's Caleb Wilson -- returned home with silver medals Saturday from the Texas High School Powerlifting Association Boys State Championships at the Taylor County Expo Center in Abilene.
Ortiz had a total lift of 1,755 pounds, but he finished 15 pounds behind Dublin's Ethan Price for the Division III state championship in the 275-pound class.
It was a similar story for Wilson, whose total lift of 1,570 pounds was just 30 pounds shy of Karnes City's Mitchell Rees.
Wilson was fourth at the state meet last year, while Ortiz was seventh, so each improved in a big way. In fact, Wilson's total lift was 175 pounds heavier than last year. Ortiz managed to stack on 260 pounds more than last year.
Ortiz squatted 820 pounds, which was a full 100 pounds more than anyone else at the meet.
Reagan County's David Carrasco was fifth place in the 114-pound class with a total lift of 915 pounds.
It earned his school an extra point, helping the Owls finish in 13th place in the team standings with six points.
Irion County was 16th with five points.
San Diego won the title with 12 points, edging Falfurrias on a tiebreaker.
Other top finishes for West Texas athletes included Ozona's Steban Flores taking third place in the 181-pound class with a total lift of 1,480 pounds.
Brady's Eli DeHoyos was fourth in the 114-pound class with a total lift of 935 pounds.
Rocksprings' JP Cordova was seventh in the 220-pound class with a total lift of 1,545 pounds. His teammate, Freddie Enriquez, was eighth in the super heavyweight class with a total lift of 1,770 pounds.
Sonora's Juan Baez was ninth in the 181-pound class with a total lift of 1,390 pounds.
Reagan County's Raul Rey was 10th in the 123-pound class with a total lift of 945 pounds. Rocksprings' Johnny Gomez was 10th in the 114-pound class with a total lift of 845 pounds. Irion County's Taylor Elkins was also 10th in the super heavyweight class with a total lift of 1,520 pounds.
Sonora's Christian Ramon was 14th in the 220-pound class with a total lift of 1,375 pounds.
San Angelo Lake View's Cody Coombs and Miguel Arroyo finished in seventh and eighth place, respectively, in the 132-pound class in Division II.
Coombs had a total lift of 1,050 pounds, while Arroyo was right behind with 1,045 pounds.
Bubba Christensen was 17th in the 181-pound class with a total lift of 1,190 pounds.


Moorestown, NJ, May 24, 2017 –Tabula Rasa HealthCare Corporation (NASDAQ: TRHC), a healthcare technology company disrupting the field of medication safety, won its fourth award from the Philadelphia Alliance for Capital and Technologies (PACT) at the 2017 Enterprise Awards held at the Philadelphia Convention Center May 18.
TRHC was one of a record 400 companies competing this year for the Annual Enterprise Awards; each category included three finalists. Tabula Rasa won in the category of Investment Deal of the Year 2016.
In his acceptance remarks, Knowlton thanked his TRHC team as well as law firm Morgan Lewis & Bockius, accounting firm KPMG, and early investors Rittenhouse Ventures, Originate Ventures, and Radius Ventures. He also noted that entrepreneurs and investors want to succeed. "We want the three P's: Power, Prestige and Pecuniary Attributes." However, he went on to share his thoughts that seemed to capture the attention of the over 800-assembled crowd, referencing David Brooks' bestseller, The Road to Character.
"Brooks implores the reader to reflect on the notion of balance," summarized Knowlton. "He invokes balance due to the tension between cultivating our Resume Virtues and our Eulogy Virtues. The risk of "deal" success is that it puts a lot of weight into today's Resume bucket and little in tomorrow's Eulogy bucket. When we are eulogized, other than to evoke a chuckle, do we really want to be remembered as sharks? My hope for each of us is that when we are blessed with some degree of societal, resume success, we keep an eye open and focused on a devotion to altruism-a purposeful cultivation of our "eulogy virtues", where success is measured by caring, giving, mentoring and philanthropy.

Q: What are the correct constraints on UIScrollView from Interface Builder? Pure Autolayout from IB I have been trying to get ScrollView to work for 2 days now, and it doesn't work at all. Most of the suggestions here on SO and other websites say that you need to pin the ScrollView to the root view and then place a ContentView (UIView) inside ScrollView and then pin it to all sides of the ScrollView (so that the scroll size can determine the contentSize... However this does nothing). There's also conflicting information out there, one video says that there needs to be a constraint from the bottom of the ScrollView to the ContentView. Neither solution has worked for me. Here is what I've been doing in most of the combinations I've tried:

*

*UIView -> UIScrollView

*Pin all sides of the UIScrollView to the UIView

*Create a UIView (name it content view) and place it inside UIScrollView

*Pin all sides of the UIView to the UIScrollView
Problem at this point: UIScrollView needs constraints for X or width AND Y or width. The only thing that seems to solve the complaint is setting the UIView inside the scroll view centered horizontally and vertically, but this does nothing to make scrolling work. Another option is setting the UIView equal height and width to scroll view, but again, that does nothing other than remove the complaint.
I don't understand. Isn't pinning the sides, setting the constraints? IB seems to think that this is not the case.
What are the correct constraints needed? All I need is a simple view with stacked controls (to fill out a form) and the screen needs to be able to scroll if the form is longer than the screen.
I'm using iOS for the first time, and building purely from IB for now... minimal code solution would be best.

A: You are half way there. First you need to decide what you are going to display in the scrollview, you have placed a content view, that needs to have an intrinsic size. You can choose to put there static or dynamic views. Static views will have their size defined at design time, and that will resolve the UIScrollView AutoLayout constraints. If instead you are doing it at runtime with dynamic views you will need to choose a default size for your content view, create an IBOutlet for the width and/or height of your views and then resize them at runtime altering the outlet in viewDidLayoutSubviews. The video you linked explains that quite clearly.

Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) endorsed a national campaign on Saturday that seeks to find progressive Democratic candidates to run against incumbent Democrats deemed too conservative or out of touch with their home districts.
Why it matters: It's part of a concerted effort from the Democrats' progressive wing to shift the party further to the left by replicating Ocasio-Cortez's playbook after she shockingly defeated Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-N.Y.), who was viewed as a possible successor to Nancy Pelosi as House Democratic leader.
The big picture: As Politico notes, such a move by an incoming member of Congress just as her party is gaining its first House majority in eight years is highly unusual.
The group reportedly plans to target safe Democratic seats rather than swing districts in 2020.
The campaign wants to replace those safe incumbents with leaders who would reflect the diversity of their constituencies and support liberal policies like "Medicare for All," the "Green New Deal" and a rejection of corporate PAC donations.

Absolutely perfect! I love your bookshelves and your vignettes are lovely, beautifully done!
Pretty. I like how you painted the shelves and added a little bit of distressing. You mentioned a fake cherry reddish wood tone... is this laminate and please, could you tell me what type of paint you used?
These turned out wonderful! I really like the gray backs mixed with the white and all your beach decor looks fabulous!
The bookshelves look wonderful and I too love that birdcage!!
I have that same exact bird cage. My best friend's mom gave it to me. It was originally a gift from her husband so she wanted to make sure that ti got good use and stayed "in the family." I love seeing vintage pieces I own in other people's homes!!
Just found your blog through House of Turquoise and I love it. Thanks for the inspiration.
Nice job on the bookshelves. I too found you via House of Turquoise.


BiblioCrunch and hundreds of writers and book professionals came together at The Sheraton Hotel at Midtown Manhattan for the Self-Publishing Book Expo. Perhaps the most striking part of all this was the date: October 27, just before Hurricane Sandy hit the Northeast. We hope our readers and all who attended the event made it through the storm safely.
Despite that, this new possibility also brings many new questions from those who want to try this new method of exposure. The self-publishing expo provided the perfect outlet for getting answers.
As I went to the panels and spoke with the attendees at the event, a question popped in my mind. Sure, It must be fruitful of consumers to have so many books to choose from in bookstores. But how can someone standout amongst millions of authors with millions of self-published stories?
Authors can also side-step the monetary competition by putting their work online for free. That might sound crazy, and to those who knew author Brittany Geragotelis, it did. "I was told by people in the publishing world that you never give books away for free," Geragotelis said during a panel on self-publishing tips. "But I had six books sitting on my desktop. So I decided to give it a try." She began publishing her story, "Life's a Witch," on WattPad, an online outlet for free ebooks. The book earned 18 million reads in just one year. Fans clamored for a print edition of the story, and Simon & Schuster gave her a six-digit sum for the publishing rights.
Of course, there is the in-between, that moment when you have a manuscript for your story but need to take the next steps before your work is ready for the masses. We spoke with many people at our BiblioCrunch table, some who had plans to publish a book in the future who could use the help of different people in the business. We let them know that our platform can connect them to many experts, be they agents, publishers, cover artists or other professionals. These authors seemed excited about how the BiblioCrunch network could help them see their works meet a standard fit for the mass market. When most of them heard about our database of publishing experts and our consultation services for authors, they were quick to sign up for the service. Lest to say, we welcome the exposure and our new users.


We often hear excuses about the way shops and town centres have (or haven't!) been decorated,especially if they appear less festive than in previous years.
These include traditional Christmas trees being scaled back or replaced with artificial alternatives for 'health and safety' reasons.
A traditional Christmas tree will probably cost a bit more and perhaps that's one of the real reasons behind these decisions - but let's be clear, health and safety laws exist to prevent people being seriously injured or made unwell at work, they are certainly not there to 'cut down' the festive spirit!


Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that is made in your liver and other cells. It's also found in certain foods, such as dairy products, eggs, and meat. Your body needs at least some cholesterol to function properly. The body's cell walls, also known as membranes, need cholesterol to produce hormones, vitamin D, and the bile acids that help you digest fat. But when your body has too much cholesterol, health problems, such as heart disease, may develop.

Invasion of privacy? EU court slams 'gay tests' for persecuted asylum seekers (DEBATE)
People take part in the annual gay pride parade in Budapest, Hungary, July 11, 2015. © Laszlo Balogh © Reuters
The European Court of Justice has ruled it is wrong to question asylum seekers' claims of persecution for their homosexuality. RT guests discuss whether psychological testing is justifiable and what possible alternatives exist.
"An asylum seeker may not be subjected to a psychological test in order to determine his sexual orientation," according to a ruling by the European Court of Justice published on Thursday after a Nigerian man complained of having undergone such testing in Hungary.
"The performance of such a test amounts to a disproportionate interference in the private life of the asylum seeker," the court ruled.
The court's ruling has ignited an ethical debate about the boundaries of the state's interference in one's private life. The court examined the case of an unnamed man from Nigeria, who submitted his asylum application to Hungarian authorities in the city of Szeged in April 2015. At that time Hungary was experiencing a huge influx of asylum seekers from Africa and the Middle East.
Refugees & homosexuality: To what extent should migrants accept European values?
The man claimed he was homosexual and faced persecution in his own country. The authorities decided to subject him to a series of sexual orientation tests to determine if he was telling the truth. The man had to undergo the Rorschach test and Draw-a-Person-in-the-Rain tests along with other examinations.
On the basis of these exams, the Hungarian psychologist concluded in October 2015 that the Nigerian was not a homosexual, prompting the asylum seeker to file an appeal and seek justice in the EU court.
According to the court, the "recourse to a psychologist's expert report" to determine the sexual orientation of the asylum seeker is in fact "an interference with that person's right to respect for his private life."
"The impact of such an expert's report on private life is disproportionate in relation to that objective," the statement added.
Calling the test "completely unnecessary" and "incredibly intrusive," Peter Tatchell, Director of the Peter Tatchell Foundation, praised the court's ruling. He said while it's generally agreed that such tests cannot serve as a sole basis for determining sexuality, the ruling will be "very helpful" to the countries where the human rights standards are not so "rigorous."
Switching gender to become easier as 'intrusive' medical tests to be scrapped
Toni Bugle, Head of Mothers against Radical Islam and Sharia, however, argued that the EU court should not be deciding on the matter in the first place and must allow EU members to act within the scope of their national laws.
"It comes to European human rights coming in and poking and nosing, quite frankly. This is why some people want out of the EU, including myself, because this is a dictatorship," she said. "It should never be the case we undermine experts' opinion."
Speaking about alternative options, Tatchell argued there are more reliable ways of determining sexual orientation, such as interviewing the person in question, his partners, family and friends, examining their love letters and arrest orders issued in their country of origin. Bugle, however, disputed the argument, saying that reading love letters "would be a far greater invasion of privacy." Besides that, it's unlikely that family or friends of an asylum seeker will be eager to testify if homosexuality is punishable by death in their countries, she pointed out.
Although there are no statistics on how many asylum seekers falsely report persecution, Bulge believes "there has to be a percentage of people who lied about being gay in order to access ... certain countries." According to Tatchell, however, the number of people falsely making claims about their sexual orientation must be "very, very tiny."
Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban has long been a harsh critic of migration and mandatory migrant quotas. He once called asylum seekers "a Trojan horse for terrorism" and "Muslim invaders."
In September, Hungary claimed that fences on its borders with Croatia and Serbia had helped to cut the inflow of migrants by more than 99 percent since 2015. The country's border fence has been repeatedly criticized by other EU states, but Budapest has resisted pressure to remove it.

Bosch, the German engineering company, is gearing up for tomorrow. The company showcased breakthrough technologies at CES 2018 along with Bosch connected mobility. The company is producing engineering products since 1886. Bosch is clearly focussing on connected future cities. It is developing the technology focusing on the same.
First of all, in CES 2018, Bosch showcased most innovative mobility solutions. The innovative mobility solutions are divided into three categories. They are - automated mobility, connected mobility and electrified mobility. The electrified mobility also includes powertrain systems.
What is Bosch connected mobility?
Bosch mobility solutions are cloud-based technologies that help the driver to take appropriate decisions on time. Connected mobility systems intelligently connect outside and inside of the vehicle, giving seamless and smart connection.
The connected mobility also features some technologies that help the passengers and drivers alike. The comfortable, economical and safe journeys are only possible due to Bosch connected mobility.
Updates over the air: In upcoming years, it will be very common for cars getting updates over the air (OTA). So, the updates ensure smooth functioning of the car. It keeps the car updated with new functionalities. The wireless internet connectivity is a very handy tool to avoid physical visits to repair shop. Bosch has IoT based redundant and secure cloud. Thus, it ensures timely and secure updates, keeping the car optimized all the time.
Wrong way driver alert system: The cloud-based driver alert system continuously monitors location data in the cloud. Current systems are time-consuming. They are mostly unable to alert the driver in time, while the Bosch systems are based on the cloud. They send an alert within seconds. In addition, it can instantaneously alert the road users in the same vicinity. This position-based system ensures quick reaction time along with user attention.
Community-based connected parking: Bosch has developed a cloud and community-based parking model. This particular model helps to find parking space for drivers in congested cities. The transmitter vehicle collects data of empty spaces and immediately makes it available in the cloud. As a result, the data then becomes available to drivers searching for parking space. Currently, the cars are already having active parking assist. So, it is just one update away from becoming the reality.
Furthermore, Bosch developed technology to ease the daily life problems. This is only possible through smartphones. The company designed various apps that ensure economical, comfortable and safe journeys. Besides, the charging app directly drives the car towards the charging stations. Emergency apps directly transmit current coordinates to the rescue centers; ensuring immediate medical help.
Furthermore, the interaction between car and humans is a very critical aspect of connected mobility. The HMI interface developed by Bosch is interactive assistance, helping you drive safely. Consequently, it can alert you when you are prone to a microsleep. Thus, it will guide you and interact with you in finding obstacles on your way and you name the thing. Finally (HMI) human-machine interface is a virtual assistant, helping you when you need it the most.
In conclusion, Bosch connected mobility solution is taking your connected journey one step ahead.

I used to think it was all about willpower, but when I focused purely on that, I'd burn myself out. Now I think it's a simple decision: based on the available information, am I willing to do what it takes to execute my strategy? If I am, then I get to work. If not, then I save my energy for the next push.
One step back, three steps forward!
I've been there myself, LOL!
Burn out is worse than 'bloc', weird things happen in writing during burn out.
It ends up creating a ton more work for me, and from what I've heard about alpha-minded folk who schedule in a four-day break every few months, it actually increases their productivity.
I guess we all Walk The Walk different ways.
I go stop-start-stop-start etc. My characters like it that way, gives them time to think up new ways to take over the plot.

IPL Betting Scam: Actor Arbaaz Khan summoned by Thane Police
Arbaaz Khan (centre) has been named by suspected bookie Sonu Jalan (right).
Mumbai: Actor-producer Arbaaz Khan has been summoned by the anti-extortion cell of the Thane crime branch in connection with an international IPL betting ring that was busted recently.
According to Abhishek Trimukhe, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Thane crime branch, it is suspected that Arbaaz, younger brother of Salman Khan, had placed bets running into Rs 2.8 crores through bookies in the 11th edition of the IPL and lost heavily. These bets were allegedly placed through a top bookie from Malad, Sonu Jalan, who was arrested on Tuesday. He is known to be connected with underworld gangster Chhota Shakeel.
Jalan ran a software– Bet and Take — which was thriving in national and international betting circuits. He was arrested in 2012, too, by the Mumbai Police for betting on IPL matches. He had then during interrogation told Mumbai crime branch officials that he paid Rs 10 cr to a top Sri Lankan player to fix a match.
According to Pradeep Sharma, Senior Police Inspector, Thane anti-extortion cell, "During investigation, it was found that Arbaaz was being threatened by Jalan as he had lost a huge sum on one of the matches.'' The cops believe that some more prominent Bollywood personalities could be also involved in the racket. They have seized from Jalan a diary with phone numbers of more than 100 bookies and builders. Khan's name was also mentioned in it. Now, these entries are being verified. According to the police, Jalan's annual turnover is around Rs 100 crore.
Another film personality, Vindu Dara Singh, was arrested in 2013 by the Mumbai police for betting on and involvement in spot fixing. He was later released on bail. But the case is just not about betting; in question is also a meeting in Dubai where match-fixing was discussed. It is suspected that Khan was also present at this meeting. ''We are now investigating which match was fixed and who all were involved," Sharma said. Jalan was arrested on Tuesday when he arrived at the Kalyan sessions court to meet his accomplices who were bookies.
On May 16, the anti-extortion cell raided a building at Dombivali, which was found to be the nerve centre of an IPL betting racket. Jalan, along with another city bookie, Prem Taneja, and his business partner 'Junior Calcutta' had fixed a test match between Sri Lanka and Australia in 2016. To fix this match, the three had even gone to Sri Lanka and allegedly bribed the pitch curator. In that match, 21 wickets fell the same day. Taneja was later arrested along with actor Vindu Dara Singh in 2013.

Former Euro Supporter James Dyson Changes Mind, Says Britain Should Leave EU
A.B. Sanderson
Sir James Dyson, previously a strong supporter of Britain adopting the euro currency, has today said that he would vote to leave the EU.
Dyson was one of the chairmen and chief executives of 20 FTSE 100 companies who signed a statement published in the Financical Times in 1998 calling for early membership for Britain in the eurozone.
But in an interview with the BBC Today programme he revealed his change of heart, saying: "I would vote to leave [the EU], I want to keep EFTA (the European Free Trade Agreement), though, but I don't see that we need to be dominated by the Germans."
The engineer and inventor even backed a UKIP style immigration policy, saying that it was important to attract the brightest and the best to study and work in the UK.
Asked if he was worried about the hostility to immigration and the result of the Rochester and Strood by election, Sir James said: "I am in the sense that we need to keep certain people here who come to our universities."
He added: "I think we should change our immigration laws to allow the right sort of people to stay here, the sort of people we desperately need."
His change of heart started over the EU Regulations banning powerful vacuum cleaners. This was not because the rules banning machines over 1600 from being sold by EU retailers because none of his products are over 1400 watts.
He told the Telegraph: "If they are not going to listen to us, we shouldn't be there."
But he went further today with his announcement he would vote to leave, not muddying his answers with talk of 'renegotiation', particularly surprising BBC Presenter John Humphreys who, from his line of questioning, was looking for an answer which was scathing about UKIP only hours after their latest victory.
"I think it's an EU dominated by Germany," he said: "and in our particular field we have these large German companies who dominate 'standard setting and energy reduction' committees and so we get the old guard and the old technology supported and not the new technology."
It was only back in 2000 that he claimed the failure of Britain to join Euro would lead to the destruction of the British manufacturing base. "It does not mean that the jobs will go tomorrow but will drift abroad over a period and the longer-term future of Britain as a manufacturing nation will be blighted. Ministers had better understand that if we delay entry too long there may be nothing left to save," he said.
In February 2000, Dyson threatened to shift focus from his Wiltshire site to a new plant set up in Malaysia over the government's insistence to keep the pound. Only months later, in November, he said: "It's suicidal for the UK not to join the euro."
Following his outburst, former Trade and Industry Secretary Norman Tebbit questioned Dyson's motives and said: "What still puzzles me is why such a euro-enthusiast as Mr Dyson does not intend to establish his new factory in Europe if he can't have it in Britain."

y si voy comentando el codigo o moviendole, los errores solo cambian de sitio pero son muy similares, estoy atento si requieres mas codigo, saludos

A: El error ocurre porque cierras tu función y agregas código luego de cerrada cosa que no se puede agregar directamente en la clase.
Lo que paso es que comentaste el using pero no comentaste la llave que lo cierra por eso salta el error.
Bastaría con comentar una de las llaves despues de tu foreach...
    cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
    }
//}

A: Creo que deberias ser un poco mas prolijo para programar, identar el codigo de forma correcta es el primer paso.
Cuando comentaste la linea
using (MySqlSqlConnection conn = new MySqlSqlConnection(connstring)) {

al usar el bloque /* y */, dejaste una llave } suelta, lo que hace que el if quede invalido.
Si eliminas el codigo comentado seguro se reducen los errores

Never lose a patient to competition again.
In the pursuit of new patient growth, it's far too easy to overlook what you already have. Don't forget the patients you've already won over.
For many medical clinics, the focus of their marketing is firmly on the attainment of new patients. With more new clinics entering the fray every year, the cost of acquiring these new patients is at an all time high.
Far too often, this focus can make clinics forget that 'a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush'. Your existing patients already know who you are, and love you, your clinic, and your team. Marketing to this group is far easier as you already have an existing relationship, and they'll be open to cross-sells, up-sells and repeat sells as a result.
Five Star Clinics can help you and your medical practice to implement a range of strategies which work to consistently nurture and further grow the relationships you already have, priming them to purchase again, refer their friends and family, and ultimately build an unbreakable loyalty to your brand.
Building deeper relationships has never been a more important factor in being Five Star than it is in today's noisy, crowded market.
Meet our Five Star Specialists and see how they can help you to reconnect with your patients, and drive your profits through repeat, cross and upsales.

The Mayhew Animal Home are urging people to "Give a Pet a Chance".
With a staggering 9 million homeless cats and dogs in the UK today, rescue centre and animal welfare organisation, The Mayhew Animal Home, are encouraging people more than ever to consider adopting a pet instead of buying.
This month the home is launching their Give a Pet a Chance campaign in order to promote pet adoption and responsible pet ownership, to try and reduce these worrying figures.
The top two causes of homeless cats and dogs have been found to be puppy and kitten farms plus the large number of unneutered or unspayed pets.
In 2015, 40% of unwanted pets, some of whom ended up at The Mayhew, were originally bought from breeders and pet shops and 23% were rehomed to friends and family. The Mayhew found that 55% of dogs adopted from them were pedigrees, including Staffies, German Shepherds and Huskies. 21% of unwanted pets were bought online, with the highest number of pets found on Gumtree.
One reason why The Mayhew see so many cats and dogs come into their shelter is because many people underestimate the amount of time, money and responsibilities required to properly care for a pet. The PDSA Paw Report 2015 found that a shocking 5 million owners did no research at all before getting a pet.
The Mayhew also want to educate people on responsible pet ownership with their campaign, in order to tackle this problem. They have released a responsible pet ownership checklist which people can use to help them seriously consider the costs and responsibilities involved with looking after a pet over their lifetime.
Caroline Yates, Chief Executive of The Mayhew Animal Home, said: "With the huge volume of homeless cats and dogs that come into our charity every year, it's vitally important that we ensure pet owners understand the responsibilities of owning a pet."
"Most of the unwanted pets have originated either from breeders or were purchased via pet shops or online, or were rehomed with a friend, family or through word of mouth. Owners have then realised that a pet requires significant investment including food, regular exercise, veterinary treatment, pet insurance and holiday care. Taking on a pet needs a lot of thought as it should be a lifelong commitment to that animal."
Are you looking for a new best friend? Why not adopt one instead of buying? Adoption is not only often the cheaper option you will be giving a deserving pet a home.
"We find loving homes for hundreds of dogs and cats every year and we urge those thinking about getting a pet to adopt rather than shop. Your perfect companion is waiting, not only at our facility, but at facilities across the country" says Caroline.
There are an estimated 9 million homeless cats and dogs in the UK who all need a new home.
To adopt a cat or dog visit https://themayhew.org/giveapetachanceadopt/ or call 0208 962 8009.
In 2015 The Mayhew Animal Home has rehomed 416 cats, 90 dogs, reunited 63 dogs with their owners and helped an impressive 1327 animals in the community.


Harmony Could Get More Of This Wednesday!
We all look ahead to check out the weather. Newsflash, this week has been ugly.
Of course, it starts with a nearly 70-degree day across Southeast Minnesota, but later this week the area could see HEAVY snowfall. According to the National Weather Service is expected a winter storm full of rain, snow and possibly sleet to hit the area. As of Monday afternoon, the forecast is calling for 3-5 inches of snow Wednesday night and freezing rain Thursday morning.
Depending on how this system tracks out there could be even more snow on Thursday into Friday.
It got me thinking, could we see more of THIS in Harmony Wednesday after the snowfall hits?
Yes, that is a man skiing behind a horse and buggy just outside of Harmony. Remember that video? You can check it out again for yourself and see what people had to say about it on CBS News Facebook Page. If this forecast keeps up the way it looks it might, we just see this a few more times before the winter "officially" ends. Even though it was supposed to "officially" end a few weeks ago.
I just wish I had the balance myself to do it, looks sorta fun!
Stay up to date with the weather forecast and what could be coming the way of Southeast Minnesota with our app!

A magyar jobbágyság története egy 20. század eleji magyar történelmi mű, amely a magyarországi jobbágyság történetét dolgozta fel, témakörében elsőként, erős kontrasztban mutatva be a magyarországi nemesség történetéhez képest.

Jellemzői

A Budapesten a Politzer-féle Könyvkiadóvállalat gondozásában 1906-ban megjelent munka szerzője a zsidó származású korabeli ismert történész, Acsády Ignác volt, aki kisebb monográfiái mellett szerkesztőségi tagja volt az 1890-es években megjelent Szilágyi Sándor-féle Millenniumi történelemnek és A magyar birodalom története (1903–1904) című nagy szintézisnek is. A A magyar jobbágyság története  a szerző utolsó munkája volt, aki még 1906-ban el is hunyt.

A magyar történészek közül Acsády volt az első, aki részletes, átfogó, és terjedelmes (több mint 500 oldalas) feldolgozást készített a különböző magyarországi paraszti rétegekről a honfoglalás (896) korától az 1848-as jobbágyfelszabadításig. Korábbi műveivel szemben a szerző erősen a történelmi materializmus szemszögéből szemlélte a magyar történelmet, és nagy hangsúlyt fektetett a "feudális kizsákmányolás" kifejtésére. Bár a honfoglalás utáni 200–300 évet – a mai történetírástól eltérően – a parasztság szempontjából pozitívan értékelte, mint amikor a "szabad népesség rendi válaszfalakkal még nem volt különálló érdekcsoportokra felosztva", azt követően viszont "a rendi gőg, a termelő munka s vele a munkások megvetése egyre eltűnőbben kiéleződtek". Acsády ítélete szerint körülbelül a 14. század közepétől kezdve "kétféle, érdekeiben, érzelmeiben, szükségleteiben, törekvéseiben egymástól mindinkább eltávolodó magyar nép élt a haza földjén. Az egyik uralkodott, a másik dolgozott; az egyik parancsolt, a másik engedelmeskedett".

A Dózsa György-féle parasztfelkelés után az 1514-es törvénykönyv és a Werbőczi-féle Hármaskönyv pedig egyenesen "helotizálták, rabszolgaságba döntötték a magyar jobbágyságot". Bár Mária Terézia 1767-es úrbéri rendelete a javulás irányába mutatott, egészen 1848-ig kellett várni a jobbágyság terheinek megszűnésére.

Újabb kiadások
Ugyanakkor 1908-ban, majd 1944-ben ismét megjelent a Faust Imre Könyvkiadó gondozásában. Mivel szemlélete megfelelt az 1945 utáni idők politikai nézeteinek is, 1948-ban negyedik kiadásban is megjelenhetett a Szikra Könyvkiadó jóvoltából. Az 1900-as évek eleji kiadások napjainkban már antikváriumokban is nehezen elérhetőek, az 1940-es évekbeliek esetében erre nagyobb az esély. Új kiadása a műnek azóta nincs, de 2011-ben a Históriaantik Kiadó reprint kiadásban ismét megjelentette az első kiadást.

Napjainkban a mű ingyenes elektronikus formában is olvasható a REAL-EOD honlapjáról.

Kritikák
A művet Erdélyi László Gyula bencés szerzetes részesített kritikában Egyházi földesúr és szolgái a középkorban (Budapest, 1907) című könyvével, majd 1944-ben Wellmann Imre Parasztnépünk múltjának feltárása, II. rész, Hitel, 303–305. o.)

Q: Why PyQt5 give me this TypeError The code:
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
from PyQt5.QtGui import QClipboard, QGuiApplication

text = QClipboard.text(QClipboard.Clipboard)

And error information:
TypeError: arguments did not match any overloaded call:
QClipboard.text(QClipboard.Mode mode=QClipboard.Clipboard): first argument of unbound method must have type 'QClipboard'
QClipboard.text(str, QClipboard.Mode mode=QClipboard.Clipboard) -> (str, str): first argument of unbound method must have type 'QClipboard'

I want to write a program that can manage my OS clipboard's data.
How should I deal with the error?

A: This is a basic python error which has nothing to do with PyQt. The traceback message states:
    first argument of unbound method must have type 'QClipboard'

This is telling you that text() is not a static or class method, and so it is expecting an instance of QClipboard as the first argument (i.e. self). So you can't call any of the methods of QClipboard directly via the class object - you must use an instance.
The documentation for QClipboard makes it clear how it should be used:
   QGuiApplication.clipboard().text()

And note that QGuiApplication.clipboard() is a static method, and so you can call it directly on the class object.

A: Based on the documentation, it seems like the first argument to .text(...) needs to be a unicode object! If you're simply trying to specify the mode, add the (mode=yourmode) keyword to the method call.

Student fees are set to increase from around £3,290 to, maybe, as the Browne report recommended, up to £14,000….
So many people find this appalling, especially those who were educated in Britain for no personal expense (or even paid something by the state) back in the day. But that was then and this is now.
There are several arguments as to why the state SHOULD pay for higher education. One of them is that state funded education leads to a more equal social model, where access across all social classes, regardless of familial income, is dependent only on ability, without any bias towards the rich. There is a fear that introducing higher student fees will basically screw the poor, e.g. less well-off students will be able to afford a higher education regardless of their ability.
However, even in the current supposedly more equal higher education model, poorer students are still at a relative disadvantage. Even though there has been a recent increase in the number of poor students who attend university in the UK, there is still disproportionate number of wealthier students at UK Universities. Such as Oxford and Cambridge, who, according to the Guardian only accepts about 1% of the poorest students. This is due in a large part to the fact that those from poorer backgrounds don't have the same secondary school opportunities as richer public school students. Able students don't always have the opportunity to be educated in an appropriate manner to allow them to even get into university.
In the 1970's a much smaller percentage of students even attended university than do today, a much smaller percentage. The increase in student numbers reflects an increase in opportunity across socio-economic classes but also reflects the lack of opportunity in other available employment. But the bottom line is that with increasing student numbers in higher education, someone has to pay for it and there is a limit to what any government can pay, however socially minded.
1 – higher student fees University could increase the money available to make secondary schools better leading to a better chance for students from poor backgrounds (who tend to live in poor compulsory school districts) to be competitive to attend university.
2 – a fee increase means that Universities have MORE money, and MORE money means (if managed correctly) more places for students. I recently attended a talk in Parliament by Ben Wildavsky of the Kauffman Foundation and author of the book The Great Brain Race who noted that the increase in student fees at University of California, LA (UCLA) has actually led to an increase in the number of students from poor background not a decrease.
As a side note increased 'private' money for Universities leads to a decrease of state control, so that on a whim the state can't decide, as this current government has, to only fund STEM subjects and not the arts. Giving Universities more control of this decision, might redress the problem.
3 – If universities implement a smart financial model NOW, such as using microfinance model similar to Kiva, like the Vittana foundation or using scholarship programs that help those who can't afford Universities easily, there could be more money available for those who need it the most.
I think rather than focusing on the negative effect for the money that the government is definitely NOT going to give to the Universities, we may – if we are careful about our financial models, create hope for the future with a better balance for the most able students attending the best Universities, regardless of their socioeconomic status.


This 6.83 acre park is located in west central Durham. The W.I. Patterson Recreation Center is located on this property and serves as a summer camp location for Durham Parks and Recreation.
Visit the picnic shelter rentals page for complete details on renting the shelter at Crest Street Park.
Visit the athletic rentals page for complete details on renting a field at Crest Street Park.
The location of this park and recreation center has undergone several major changes during its history. It was originally called "Hickstown," named after its owner Hawkins Hicks. In 1922, a three teacher school was built on the property, named Hickstown School, and grew in funding and size for the next five years, being a key attribution to the huge growth in Durham County at the time. This school was demolished in 1956 and replaced with a modern brick structure in the late 1950s that was used for only 10 years. It has now been divided into senior housing and the W.I. Patterson Recreation Center.

BERLIN — Robert Lewandowski's penalty was enough for Bayern Munich to consolidate its Bundesliga lead at the halfway stage of the season with a 1-0 win at Bavarian rival Augsburg on Wednesday. Lewandowski's spot kick in the 13th minute was Bayern's only reward for dominating the first half, while the visitors had to hold on in the second with Augsburg missing a host of chances —including a penalty of its own. Lewandowski scored his 22nd league goal of the season from the spot after a foul from Augsburg midfielder Rani Khedira on Lucas Hernández. Serge Gnabry and Thomas Müller both missed chances before the break, when Khedira made way for Tobias Strobl. The home side improved significantly in the second half but missed a great chance to equalize when Alfred Finnbogason – who had only come on as a substitute a couple of minutes before – smashed his penalty off the left post in the 76th. Benjamin Pavard conceded the spot kick for handball. Another Augsburg substitute, Fredrik Jensen, shot over from another good position shortly afterward. UNION BEATEN Bayern stayed four points clear of Leipzig, which earned a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Union Berlin thanks to Emil Forsberg's 70th-minute strike. Forsberg had come on as a substitute 10 minutes before and capitalized on a rare lapse from Union's defence to turn and score past Andreas Luthe. Leipzig goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi denied Marius Bülter an injury-time equalizer as Union failed to score for the first time in the league this season. Union dropped to sixth place after its first defeat in seven games since losing the Berlin derby 3-1 at Hertha on Dec. 4. BIELEFELD RELIEF Arminia Bielefeld defeated Stuttgart 3-0 at home to stay out of the relegation zone after Cologne's late 2-1 win at last-place Schalke earlier Wednesday. Cologne remained 16th in the 18-team division with Bielefeld two points clear in 15th. Also, Eintracht Frankfurt came back to draw 2-2 at Freiburg. ___ More AP soccer: https://apnews.com/Soccer and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports ___ Ciarán Fahey on Twitter: https://twitter.com/cfaheyAP CiaráN Fahey, The Associated Press


The Emperors of the Earth, the über-parasites.
Without these truly Satanic blood-suckers, you would have never heard either of communism or of WW2 or of most other wars.
WW1 would have ended in 1916 – without Versailles, which partly led to WW2 – and, of course, without the blood-soaked Balfour Declaration, in exchange for which the Rothschilds brought the U.S. into WW1 – and made sure that 'goy' blood flowed through those muddy, rat-infested trenches for two more years.
Except for the Jew-run Soviet Gulags, the trenches of WW1 were the worst concentration camps on Earth. Six decades earlier, the British Tommies were generously sacrificed to the Rothschilds in Crimea for the very same reason that $200 million was loaned by the Rothschilds to Japan towards a brand-new Navy that helped to secure the Japanese victory in the 1904-5 Russo-Japanese War – and for the very same reason that, in 1918, the Jew Trotsky, a principal in one of the largest payroll robberies in Russia, was given $20 million in gold by Jacob Schiff of Kuhn, Loeb & Co, a Rothschild front: the Jew Rothschilds, first, wanted to destroy the hated Christian Russia – and then rob her blind – exterminating in the process not only dissidents, but also all would-be dissidents.
The legitimately elected government of Russia, even though led by Alexander Kerensky, a fellow Freemason, didn't at all suit the Jew Rothschilds' criminal purposes. Those grown up German boy scouts jewdicially lynched at Nuremberg were about as innocent as God's own angels, when compared with the Jew Rothschilds, who, a century ago, set in motion a 'controlled chain reaction' of ongoing wars and heinous mass murders – with the count running into well over two hundred million – and yet to be stopped.
Victor Rothschild, a widely suspected KGB spy, who was known to have been intimately involved with the Cambridge ring of queer Marxist double agents, was never investigated, let alone prosecuted.
