Q: Algorithm for doing many substring reversals? Suppose I have a string S of length N, and I want to perform M of the following operations:

*

*choose 1 <= L,R <= N and reverse the substring S[L..R]

I am interested in what the final string looks like after all M operations.  The obvious approach is to do the actual swapping, which leads to O(MN) worst-case behavior.  Is there a faster way? I'm trying to just keep track of where an index ends up, but I cannot find a way to reduce the running time (though I have a gut feeling O(M lg N + N) -- for the operations and the final reading -- is possible).

A: Yeah, it's possible. Make a binary tree structure like
struct node {
    struct node *child[2];
    struct node *parent;
    char label;
    bool subtree_flipped;
};

Then you can have a logical getter/setter for left/right child:
struct node *get_child(struct node *u, bool right) {
    return u->child[u->subtree_flipped ^ right];
}

void set_child(struct node *u, bool right, struct node *c) {
    u->child[u->subtree_flipped ^ right] = c;
    if (c != NULL) { c->parent = u; }
}

Rotations have to preserve flipped bits:
struct node *detach(struct node *u, bool right) {
    struct node *c = get_child(u, right);
    if (c != NULL) { c->subtree_flipped ^= u->subtree_flipped; }
    return c;
}

void attach(struct node *u, bool right, struct node *c) {
    set_child(u, right, c);
    if (c != NULL) { c->subtree_flipped ^= u->subtree_flipped; }
}

// rotates one of |p|'s child up.
// does not fix up the pointer to |p|.
void rotate(struct node *p, bool right) {
    struct node *u = detach(p, right);
    struct node *c = detach(u, !right);
    attach(p, right, c);
    attach(u, !right, p);
}

Implement splay with rotations. It should take a "guard" pointer that is treated as a NULL parent for the purpose of splaying, so that you can splay one node to the root and another to its right child. Do this and then you can splay both endpoints of the flipped region and then toggle the flip bits for the root and the two subtrees corresponding to segments left unaffected.
Traversal looks like this.
void traverse(struct node *u, bool flipped) {
    if (u == NULL) { return; }
    flipped ^= u->subtree_flipped;
    traverse(u->child[flipped], flipped);
    visit(u);
    traverse(u->child[!flipped], flipped);
}

A: Splay tree may help you, it supports reverse operation in an array, with total complexity O(mlogn)

A: @F. Ju is right, splay trees are one of the best data structures to achieve your goal.
However, if you don't want to implement them, or a solution in O((N + M) * sqrt(M)) is good enough, you can do the following:
We will perform sqrt(M) consecutive queries and then rebuilt the array from the scratch in O(N) time.
In order to do that, for each query, we will store the information that the queried segment [a, b] is reversed or not (if you reverse some range of elements twice, they become unreversed).
The key here is to maintain the information for disjoint segments here. Notice that since we are performing at most sqrt(M) queries before rebuilding the array, we will have at most sqrt(M) disjoint segments and we can perform query operation on sqrt(M) segments in sqrt(M) time. Let me know if you need a detailed explanation on how to "reverse" these disjoint segments.
This trick is very useful while solving problems like that and it is worth to know it.
UPDATE:
I solved the problem exactly corresponding to yours on HackerRank, during their contest, using the method I described.
Here is the problem
Here is my solution in C++.
Here is the discussion about the problem and a brief description of my method, please check my 3rd message there.

A:
I'm trying to just keep track of where an index ends up

If you're just trying to follow one entry of the starting array, it's easy to do that in O(M) time.
I was going to just write pseudocode, but no hand-waving was needed so I ended up with what's probably valid C++.
// untested C++, but it does compile to code that looks right.
struct swap {
    int l, r;
    // or make these non-member functions for C
    bool covers(int pos) { return l <= pos && pos <= r; }
    int apply_if_covering(int pos) {
        // startpos - l = r - endpos;
        // endpos = l - startpos + r
        if(covers(pos))
            pos = l - pos + r;
        return pos;
    }
};

int follow_swaps (int pos, int len, struct swap swaps[], int num_swaps)
{
    // pos = starting position of the element we want to track
    // return value = where it will be after all the swaps
    for (int i = 0 ; i < num_swaps ; i++) {
        pos = swaps[i].apply_if_covering(pos);
    }
    return pos;
}

This compiles to very efficient-looking code.

Is the Eucharist Really Christ's Body and Blood?
A letter written by Archbishop Sheehan in response the results of a Gallup poll that was taken on Catholic attitudes toward Holy Communion.
Recently, a Gallup poll was taken on Catholic attitudes toward Holy Communion. The poll showed serious confusion among Catholics about one of the most basic beliefs of the Church.
Only 30 percent of those surveyed believe they are actually receiving the Body and Blood, soul and divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ under the appearance of bread and wine.
29 percent think they are receiving bread and wine which symbolize the spirit and teachings of Jesus and, in so doing, are expressing their attachment to His person and words.
10 percent understand their action to be receiving bread and wine in which Jesus is present.
and 23 percent hold that they are receiving what has become the Body and Blood of Christ because of their personal belief.
Any well-informed Catholic will recognize that only the first option, chosen by the 30 percent, is true Catholic teaching. The other options represent various forms of Protestant belief.
As Archbishop, I am deeply concerned about the inaccurate and distorted views of the Eucharist apparently held by many of our people. I believe it is important to clearly understand the correct doctrine; then, to live according to that doctrine.
Our Catholic teaching that the Eucharist is the Body and Blood of Jesus, not bread and wine, is clearly taught in the Bible and throughout the 2,000-year tradition of the Church.
The teaching of Jesus in the sixth chapter of John's Gospel is very clear: "Amen, amen I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood you do not have life within you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life and I will raise him up on the last day. For My flesh is true food and My blood is true drink. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me and I in him" (John 6:53-56).
John goes on to say that, even though many disciples would not accept this teaching and went away, Jesus did not attempt to bring them back by saying He was only speaking symbolically.
The early Church took this teaching seriously. In his first letter to the Corinthians, Saint Paul says, "Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will have to answer for the Body and Blood of the Lord... for anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body, eats and drinks judgement on himself." (1 Corinthians 11:27, 29) Paul's statement makes sense only if the bread and wine have become the real Body and Blood of Christ.
How does this change take place? It happens during the eucharistic prayer of the Mass.
At that time, the bread and wine are changed into the Body and Blood of Christ, as the Church has always taught. Although they still look like bread and wine, they have, by divine power, actually changed into His Body and Blood. How can we know this? It requires faith. It is a mystery which, like love, we will never fully understand. The Trinity, the divinity of Jesus, His death and Resurrection are other mysteries which, along with the Eucharist, we will never fully comprehend in this life.
Catholic teaching on the Eucharist gives great inspiration and strength to believers. Jesus is really present and, under the appearance of food, nourishes us for our journey through life.
Our Protestant friends speak often and correctly of the need for a personal relationship with the Lord. What more personal relationship is there than to be nourished by the Body and Blood of Jesus, than receiving Him with love and devotion? And, since the Eucharist takes place in the context of a community meal, we are also united with our brothers and sisters of the faith. To make the presence of Jesus only a "symbolic" one is, therefore, to strip the eucharistic celebration of its true meaning.
A sound belief in the Eucharist moves us to some important practical conclusions. Since the bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Jesus, Catholics must have the utmost respect and reverence for these precious gifts.
We should not receive Communion if we are conscious that we are in a state of serious sin. Saint Paul makes it clear in the text from 1 Corinthians 11:27, 29 quoted above —that we must not receive the Lord unworthily. Other than in crisis situations, where a perfect act of contrition can suffice, anyone who is aware of serious sin must receive the sacrament of penance before going to Communion.
Priests and catechists must not hesitate to teach this clearly to the people on a regular basis.
In a recent article, Bishop William Weigand of Sacramento notes a lack of respect for the Eucharist in recent years. I believe he is correct. We must not allow the simplification of the rites of the Mass, such as the reception of Holy Communion in the hand or while standing, to breed an informality that erodes our belief in the Real Presence. We must be careful to genuflect reverently when entering the church where the Blessed Sacrament is kept; or, at least to make a deep bow of respect. We have let sloppy language lead to a disrespect of the Eucharist. I call on all Catholics in our archdiocese to stop referring to Holy Communion as the "bread" or the "wine" rather than as "the Body of Christ" and the "the Blood of Christ."
Respect for the Eucharist also means fasting for an hour before Communion, arriving on time for Mass, and not leaving early.
Respect for the Eucharist likewise means there should be no more than subdued conversation before and after Mass in the church. Even though many enjoy socializing, others are there to pray in the presence of the Eucharist and their rights should be respected.
Respect for the Eucharist means we will attempt to make visits to the church to pray before the Blessed Sacrament; pastors should make every effort to ensure that churches or Blessed Sacrament chapels are open for visitation. One of the most fruitful forms of prayer for a Catholic is that of praying before the Lord who is present in the tabernacle.
Respect for the Eucharist means that priests, deacons, and eucharistic ministers will treat the Body and Blood of Christ with utmost respect; and purify the Communion vessels reverently.
I also encourage more frequent use of the rite of Benediction and eucharistic devotions such as perpetual adoration with the exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. I ask that vocations to the priesthood and religious life be a particular intention for such Eucharistic prayer.
I call upon pastors and teachers to review basic Catholic teaching on the Eucharist with their people. I urge Catholic parents to teach the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist to their children. We must recapture a well-deserved sense of the holy, an awareness of mystery as it relates to the Eucharist which has always been a part of our Catholic tradition.


It's A Hoot Racing was founded in 1998 to serve the growing need for two guys to hang out and have a couple of beers.
Met ole Tim one day riding his new Harley. I had just bought a Springer and he had a Dyna Wide Glide. Never in my wildest dreams could I believe this would be the most expense person to hang around I would ever meet. After all, we already had these expensive Harley's.
Tim is a fun sort of guy and loves to laugh, so we hit it off pretty well. I knew we'd get along just fine when I found out he liked to have a beer (at the drop of a hat).
Well anyway, we rode our motorcycles most every weekend and got to know each other pretty well. This lasted for about 3 years until Tim just plain wanted to get out of the motorcycle riding business. Over the years, I learned he used to race up north (yea there's a little Yankee dripping off him, but not too much as he's been here for some 25 years).
One day Tim says, "We ought to get into race cars." Of course being the fool that I am and not one timid try new things, said, "Yea!" This is where it starts getting expensive. Tim says will only cost about $9,000 race.
Tim knew Joe, a famous and sometimes infamous race car builder, and David, a famous and sometimes infamous race car driver (Maybe that's why Joe and David get along so well?). Well anyway, we go over to David's and find out that he know's a guy that has an older race car. Tim and I go look at the car and decide it's worth working on. The next Monday, David gets us all together to talk price, etc. The guy that owns the car is a skinny guy nicknamed PH. His real name is John. He won't tell me what PH stands for, but I think I know.
We talk a bit and buy the car. This would be the cheapest part of the deal.
We get the car and take it to Joe's. I didn't know Joe that well even though I had met him a couple of years ago riding motorcycles with Tim. Joe's a pretty good guy and yes he qualifies as a friend of mine as he's a fun guy and likes to drink a beer every once in a while.
Joe does his fabricating thing to the car and of course we buy an assortment of necessary parts from him. Wheels, tires, quick change, bell housing, starter, etc. Cost more than the car but well worth it. The thing will TURN LEFT!
More to come................... got to fix the car again!!!!


Two really stand out in my mind: reading and relationship. I am passionate about reading great works of literature with the aim of observing how the human condition is portrayed, noting where humanity has got it right, and where it has got it wrong. The likes of Aeschylus, Euripides, Homer, Sophocles, and others display this fallen human condition through all kinds of genre — tragedy, history, comedy, poetry. In the Word of God, there really is only one hero, our Lord Jesus Christ; though many illustrate the occasional right response, all exhibit some particular flaw and, thus, our need of a savior.
If I had the time, I would learn about two dozen languages. I really like Greek, Latin, and Irish. I majored in Classics in college. Consequently, I am greatly interested in Socrates and his motivation, Homer's influence on western civilization, and the role of the chorus in ancient Greek tragedy. I recently submitted a research proposal as a part of my application to the PhD program in Classics at the University of Birmingham in England.
Thirteen years teaching New Testament Greek; the occasional research methods and exegetical principles class.
In August 2015 my wife, Alison, and I will celebrate 17 years of marriage. We have four wonderful children – twin daughters, Katie and Megan, 13; daughter, Emma, 8; and a son, Aidan, 3.

Sr. Mar y Pia Malaborbor, OSC, at midday prayer.PHOTOS BY TONI CASHNELLIFor what shall we pray?
• Couples yearning for a child.
• Wives abused by their husbands.
• Men who fear they will never find a job.
Their commonality is the need for prayers. And it is the gift and mission of the Clares to pray for them.
It's been 25 years since Srs. Anna Marie Covely, Mary Doris Gerke and Dianne Short moved to Cincinnati, determined to build a community around the simplest and most personal act of faith – our need to connect with a higher power. Doris credits "the work of the Spirit and the support of the friars and the Bishop" for their continued presence. "In some ways it seems miraculous" that the Clares have survived and thrived, says Dianne. "God blessed us with new people," says Anna Marie.
Those uplifted by the Clares can attest to the power of prayer. They call, write or e-mail from around the world: The U.S., Canada and more than 15 other countries including Hungary, Sri Lanka, Nigeria, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Russia and Ukraine. Their requests are accepted and acknowledged by Sr. Luisa Bayate, OSC. "She answers every one individually and forwards them to us," says Dianne. Each response is personalized. "I do not want a 'robo-tized' relationship with people," says Luisa.
Comfort for many, prayer is a lifeline for others. "One woman would pray for her husband not to drink," says Vickie. "Reading between the lines, I believe he was abusive." A Hospice nurse sends Luisa intentions for the dying. "Thank you for a peaceful death," she will write in gratitude.
There are stories that end happily. "A young couple from Nigeria from the beginning [of their marriage] had been praying for a child," says Vickie. When they were blessed with a baby, "We asked them to please send a photo, and they did." There have been more babies, and more photos.
Morning Mass is open to the public and, "We've got this little community expressing their intentions," says Dianne. A St. Clare Circle started last summer encourages benefactors to join the sisters in praying for the intentions of others. "I like to say, 'We're praying with you, not just for you,'" says Anna Marie.
The Poor Clares invite you to help them observe their 25th anniversary in Cincinnati with a celebratory Mass at 10:30 a.m. this Saturday, June 27, at St. Clement Church in St. Bernard.
I am grateful we have John as our patron; Presenter Michael Blastic at the retreat in Indianapolis.PHOTO BY FRANK JASPER, OFMhe has so much to teach us, and it fits well with our Franciscan charism -- about evangelization and pointing out the Lamb of God, inviting others to follow Him; about ethical living and justice and being willing to share what we have, about courage, and being willing to speak up; about humility, and knowing who we really are; about minority, knowing that He must increase even as we decrease. Sometimes at interprovincial meetings I attend, I might be referred to by our province name, or speak about our province using our patron's name, e.g., what does John the Baptist think about that? Or, John the Baptist is willing to participate, etc.
Brothers, I am and we are John the Baptist today, and we are privileged and challenged to be a Voice acknowledging God's presence among us. I look forward to seeing the friars who can come to the feast day prayer and dinner at St. Francis Seraph this Sunday.
Mercy Community, the former seminary, site of this year's reunion.
This year's Franciscan Alumni Reunion returns to familiar territory, the grounds of the former St. Francis Seminary in Cincinnati. Mass is at 5 p.m. Saturday, June 27, in the Peace Garden or chapel, depending on the weather. The Study Hall is the site for the group meeting, dinner, an awards ceremony and remembrance service starting at 6:30 p.m. Saturday. The schedule of activities (beginning tonight) is on the Alumni Association's website at: http://franciscan-alumni.org/reunions/2015-reunion.
Writing from the Holy Land, Fr. Greg Friedman describes the celebration of the Feast of St. John the Baptist. Find it on our Province Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/Franciscanfriars.
Here's one way to welcome the Pope: According to Daniel O'Shea of Catholic News Service, "Chicago-based Catholic Extension is helping to build excitement and support for Pope Francis' upcoming trip to the United States by creating Flat Francis. The project takes some inspiration from 'The Flat Stanley Project', which centers on a paper cutout of Flat Stanley, a cartoon drawing based on books of the same name, being photographed with people in numerous locations." The idea: Print out a cartoon drawing of the pope posted on the Catholic Extension website at http://www.flatfrancis.org/, hold it close and snap a selfie to share on social media.

Комутативната алгебра е дял на математиката изучаващ комутативни пръстени и алгебри, както и свързаните с тях идеали и модули. Началата на комутативната алгебра се търсят в други две алгебрически науки - алгебричната геометрия и алгебричната теория на числата. В съвременната математика комутативната алгебра дава пълния набор локални инструменти нужни за изучаването на агебричната геометрия.

История
В началото, позната като теория на идеалите, комутативната алгебра възниква в работите на Леополд Кронекер, Ернст Кумер, Рихард Дедекинд и Давид Хилберт. Еми Ньотер, базирайки се на споменатите автори, изгражда абстракто-аксиоматичния подход към предмета. На нея се приписва и съвременният подход към предмета, използващ теория на модулите, въпреки че наченки може да се открият още в трудовете на Кронекер. Емануел Ласкер въвежда централното, за предмета, понятие прост идеал, което предствавлява удобно обобщение на понятието просто число от теория на числата и точка от геометрията.

Voice Quality Matters: Quarter of Employees Working From Home Still Experiencing Regular Connectivity Issues
linker 5
-Survey of 1007 SMEs in the UK by Spitfire Network Services Ltd reveals pain points for employees working from home-
-27% experience frequent or occasional connectivity disruptions despite working remotely since March-
-Only 4% of employees working from home have a dedicated Internet connection for work-related purposes-
Spitfire Network Services Ltd, a provider of telecoms and IP engineering solutions to UK businesses, today revealed data that showed more than a quarter of employees experience regular issues with connectivity whilst working from home. The 'Voice Quality Matters' survey found that 27% of employees faced connectivity challenges such as drop-outs or lags during the course of their working day, causing frequent disruption and impacting on productivity. With the majority of voice (video) communications hosted via the Internet, the importance of ensuring your voice can be heard has never mattered more.
The survey revealed that only 4% of employees working from home had their own dedicated internet connection for work purposes. Instead, employees are relying on their home broadband for connectivity. When asked, 57% of employees revealed that they had between 3-10 devices connected to their home broadband at any one time.
Employees were also asked about the time of the day that most of the issues occurred, 4pm-6pm was revealed to be the problem hours. With kids returning from school and using personal devices, the strain on the network resulted in connectivity problems arising.
Dominic Norton, Sales Director, Spitfire Network Services Ltd, commented on the findings: "We were unsurprised to discover that more than one in four employees are facing connectivity challenges whilst they work from home. When you consider that remote working can no longer be classed as the supposed 'new normal' with this shift happening over 9-months ago, it shows that businesses have been slow to act. Connectivity is critical for employees to mirror the experience of the office from home – critical for delivering a service to customers and ensuring their workforce is as productive as possible. My message to businesses would be to act now and really consider the damage that may be being caused to both productivity and reputation."
In total, 1007 respondents were surveyed throughout November 2020 as part of the Voice Quality Matters survey conducted by Spitfire Network Services Ltd.

How can we benefit from mandated e-invoicing?
By Mark Stephens, the CEO of Blackstar Capital
Electronic invoicing is at a tipping point. On the one hand, only a small minority of invoices that are sent globally are e-invoices. It is estimated that 75% of the world invoices are still transacted on paper, and those that rely on email instead experience similar inefficiencies. On the other, a recent trend of B2G mandates from governments around the world could potentially serve as a catalyst for a new wave of public and private sector e-invoicing adoption.
In India, for example, the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs has regulated that e-invoicing will be mandatorily adopted by all companies with a turnover exceeding INR 500 crore. The decision follows many countries in Latin America, most notably Brazil and Mexico, where electronic invoices have been mandated as the only acceptable standard for all significant public and private commercial transactions.
In Latin America, these systems are largely being used as a tool to improve the government's fiscal control and recapture lost tax revenue from economies with high rates of cash transactions. Brazil, Chile and Mexico have all adopted a 'clearance model,' where before invoices are sent, they are cleared by a government portal. Documents are therefore tax-compliant in real-time, reducing delays and fines, while significantly reducing tax leakage. India's model is broadly similar to this, and the EU is also looking towards adopting something similar to the clearance model.
In 2019, all VAT-registered businesses in Italy started issuing invoices electronically using the country's online exchange system. The decision in Italy, like many others, was again driven by tax efficiency. While these mandated government decisions can help achieve this, experts say the benefits of e-invoicing actually go well beyond this and it is time the arguments for mandating e-invoicing include the benefits for small, medium and global businesses too. The EU has been clear: mandated e-invoicing has the potential to not only save government processing costs, but also provide the stimulus for private sector adoption that can drive the environmental, cost, and efficiency benefits.
For businesses, the potential benefits are huge. Companies on average able to save between 50-70% of processing costs and 65% of invoice processing time. E-invoicing reduces errors, fraud and human intervention. A Wax Digital study found about 25% of time handling paper invoices is spent on resolving problems related to data entry and processing. As there are roughly 16 billion B2B invoices processed each year in Europe alone, Deutsche Bank projected that full adoption could lead to an annual saving of at least €260 billion. Organisations already using e-invoicing have been motivated to do so because of this huge cost efficiency aspect.
In the most recent Spring Statement, the Chancellor of the Exchequer described late payments as a 'scourge' and according to Siemens Financial Services, SMEs in the UK are missing out on over £250bn of working capital cash flow due to late payments. Xero found that businesses which use online tools get paid 33% faster than those which use paper invoices. Faster approval cycles result in better cash flow, which can be passed down the supply chain in cost and time savings. Finally, a mandated move from paper to paperless could have a huge impact on the global carbon footprint.
In addition to the impact that the reduction of late payments can have on the working capital of businesses globally, e-invoicing can provide a more efficient avenue for the funding of invoices. Invoice financing is not new, but the level of transparency and depth of data accessible via modern e-invoicing platforms enable direct access for financiers to provide faster, efficient, de-risked, and innovative funding solutions in relation to the financing of such invoices. There is a growing belief that this will have a fundamental, evolutionary impact on the invoice financing space.
Public sector mandated e-invoicing therefore can be expected to drive private sector e-invoicing adoption and provide the gateway for the digitisation of many business processes. The blueprint for adoption was Denmark's pioneering 2005 legislation that allowed vendors to submit invoices online, free of charge, using a SaaS service. The Danish were focused on the economic benefits of e-invoicing and decided the best way to influence behaviour would be to keep the barriers to entry as low as possible. By offering a free and open service, Denmark was able to voluntarily achieve the long-term commercial adoption of B2B e-invoicing in the private sector after mandating public sector B2G e-invoicing.
Now with the challenges of Covid-19, global governments will be more focused than ever on cost efficiencies and the need to guarantee tax revenues. Mandating e-invoicing, however, can also have huge knock-on benefits for the wider B2B business market. With a higher adoption rate across the private sector, mandating e-invoicing will provide huge cost and efficiency savings for businesses at a time when public and private finances are under significant pressure.
How fintech companies can facilitate continued growth
By Jackson Lee, VP Corporate Development from Colt Data Centre Services
The fintech industry is rapidly growing and, in the first half of 2020, fintechs have secured more than $25 billion in investment globally, despite the huge uncertainty caused by COVID-19. As fintechs and their customer base expand, it is important to recognise that the success of these companies is predicated on the ability to use data effectively in providing a personalised experience to their customers.
To ensure these companies do not become victim of their own success, they must ensure they have the ability to scale up their operations and data storage as quickly and cost-efficiently as possible, especially in these challenging times.
So what must fintech companies do if they are to facilitate this growth without bursting at the seams?
Big fish in a small pond
Fintech companies are growing exponentially, and for many, even the current uncertainty around the pandemic has not decelerated the pace of their growth. However, having started small – with only having access to limited tools at the beginning of their journey, many fintech companies can't keep up with their own rapid growth. When it comes to data infrastructures, they are facing a real risk of becoming a big fish in a small pond.
In order to achieve widespread innovation, and to keep their advantage over traditional financial institutions, fintech companies need the necessary playground space to experiment in.
When the pandemic and its consequent disruptions started to take hold, most businesses weren't prepared for the types of challenges that they would have to face. Although the suggestion of investing in data infrastructure might seem counter intuitive at the moment, a lifeline for fintech companies going forward will be flexibility and the ability to scale.
Risky business?
As the uncertainty around the pandemic continues, fintech companies, like other industries are finding it difficult to commit to long-term business plans. Despite their continued growth, fintech companies continue to be cautious to invest in expanding their operations during an unpredictable economic climate, especially when they are doing well enough as it is.
Even before the pandemic, fintech companies exhibited slower rates of the adoption of digitalisation and advanced IT infrastructures than other industries. It's clear the future is digital and for fintechs to effectively compete in today's volatile market, they need to be proactive and invest in the value of data and digital transformation.
One area that fintech companies must be proactive in is their IT infrastructure, especially their data storage and connectivity, in order to allow them to act faster than big, established competitors.
Limitless scalability
Due to the continuous growth of fintech companies, with no sign for it to slow down, these companies will have to continually scale their operations up to manage increased demand. Ordinarily, this would have very high costs as they would have to continually alter their IT infrastructure and solutions.
When it comes to flexibility, data is a crucial aspect for fintechs. In today's world, companies store masses of data, and its amount is growing fast. This makes the storing of the data a juggling act, and the costs keep growing with it. In periods of economic uncertainty, such as the one we are experiencing now, this constant increase in data can quickly turn into a challenge. Therefore, fintechs must ensure that scalability is at the heart of everything they do. When it comes to scalability, however, the key factor is not just growth or the ability to scale up. A vital, but often overlooked opportunity in scalability lies in scaling down, when needed. For fintechs aiming at this level of scalability, hyperscale is the only way forward.
The answer is hyperscale
Hyperscale data centres provide businesses with a one-stop shop for all their data and capacity requirements. These centres, which are built in a campus-style design, allow companies to build out further data centres quickly within the same location, or if needed, downsize. In an environment of ever-fluctuating demand, hyperscale enables scalability of data and storage swiftly. This presents many benefits. The sheer size of these facilities allows for large-scale cloud adoption, which is more streamlined, flexible and cost-effective than ever before. This will help fintechs to get a better handle on their data and reduce costs as much as possible.
With this level of scalability, companies can operate like an elastic band, expanding or retracting when necessary and at a moment's notice. For example, imagine this year's Christmas. With the uncertainty of the pandemic and constantly changing restrictions, people's online activity will be even higher than in previous years. Fintechs will have to scale up their operations to cope with the high demand of online services. Meanwhile, when demand goes down in January, it might be beneficial to scale down and reduce costs until demand increases again.
Hyperscale will also help fintech companies to future-proof their operations, which has become a key consideration as the economy looks to recover from the pandemic. By having the level of flexibility that hyperscale provides, businesses will always have the ability to lean or expand. Being able to adjust quickly within the hyperscale environment, with no added costs, makes fintechs more resilient and flexible to disruptions.
While cutting costs will continue to be a priority in today's business environment, it is important that fintech companies look beyond this and focus on innovation and technology. The issues that the pandemic unearthed already existed and needed to be addressed by businesses. Therefore, they need to take the current situation as an opportunity to reconsider and improve their business models. Flexibility, scalability and cost efficiency must be top priorities in this new era. Hyperscale can provide this trinity of success.

     Mosaic v0.11
     https://github.com/tin-cat/jquery-mosaic
     A jquery plugin by Tin.cat to build beautifully arranged and responsive mosaics of html elements maintaining their original aspect ratio. Works wonderfully with images by creating a visually ordered and pleasant mosaic (much like mosaics on Flickr, 500px and Google+) without gaps between elements, but at the same time respecting aspect ratios. Reacts to window resizes and adapts responsively to any screen size. See it working on https://skinography.net

Tired of WhatsApp running slowly, or are your incoming messages delayed?
WhatsApp continues to be one of the hottest messaging apps for both iOS and Android devices. But, many users are tired of experiencing delayed messages and slow WhatsApp connections. Videos sometimes take too long to upload or stream. Sometimes messages don't get sent for long periods of time.
What Causes Slow WhatsApp Connections?
Many times when WhatsApp is running slow for you, it has nothing to do with the app, and everything to do with your connection. All iOS and Android phones are setup to have all data traffic be sent through a single connection. When you are running WhatsApp and trying to stream a video or send a message, all that data is either going through the Wi-Fi Internet connection or the mobile data Internet connection.
If your signal strength is fluctuating because you are moving or because the signal strength is spotty in your location, you will experience a lag while using WhatsApp. You just aren't able to send and receive the data fast enough.
Are you experiencing slow WhatsApp? Do you use it a lot while commuting or on the move? See below how to quickly and easily fix this issue.
Speedify changes the way your phone handles data transmission. Instead of focusing everything into either Wi-Fi or cellular data, Speedify unlocks your device's full capabilities and uses both connections simultaneously for data transmission.

Adelaide based trio Attonbitus have been shaking up the South Australian music scene since their genesis back in 2012, so we think it's pretty safe to say their debut album, David Street is something you'll want to pay attention to.
The debut David Street release from Attonbitus combines prog, reggae, and slam poetry elements to create a unique expression of absurd inner dialogue and agitated self reflection.
Attonbitus are renowned for consistently providing entertaining live shows that slowly, but surely become a totally unhinged narrative of communicating one's inner dialogue. The result is both raw, hysteric and strangely therapeutic.
David Street explores a very personalised series of high and lows, each track taking on a unique synthesis of contrasting musical genres to tell its own story. The entirety of the album is something that will grab you from beginning to end, it is refreshingly honest, relatable and completely mesmerising.
Every track on the debut album is an expressive and honest testament to Michael's unique take on composing. He intertwines his personal experiences in a way that sets itself apart from anything else you've heard before.
Check out the full David Street album below!

Majority of cardinals-designate
expected to attend consistory
By Carol Glatz, Catholic News Service / November 19, 2020
Archbishop Jose F. Advincula of Capiz, Philippines, pictured in a June 17, 2019, photo, is one of 13 new cardinals named by Pope Francis Oct. 25. As the consistory to create 13 new cardinals approaches, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced Cardinal-designate Advincula to cancel his trip to Rome. (CNS photo/courtesy Archdiocese of Capiz)
VATICAN — Despite quickly shifting travel restrictions in place during the global pandemic, the majority of cardinals-designate were planning to attend the Vatican ceremony to receive their red hats and cardinal's rings.
Several have had to plan ahead to prepare for the big day; for example, Cardinal-designate Wilton D. Gregory of Washington arrived in Rome early so he could quarantine 10 days before the Nov. 28 ceremony.
Cardinal-designate Celestino Aos Braco, the 75-year-old archbishop of Santiago, Chile, was also quarantining as a precautionary measure, staying at the Domus Sanctae Marthae, the residence where Pope Francis lives.
Others had to plan other ceremonies as well, planning to be ordained a bishop — normally a prerequisite for priests before they are elevated to the rank of cardinal.
For example, 80-year-old Cardinal-designate Enrico Feroci, who spent 56 years as a priest in Rome, received his episcopal ordination Nov. 15 — the World Day of the Poor, a date he found significant because of his many years serving the poor through his parishes and as a former director of Rome's Caritas.
Cardinal-designate Mauro Gambetti, a 55-year-old Conventual Franciscan and former custos of the Sacred Convent of Assisi, was to have his episcopal ordination Nov. 22 in the Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi.
The one priest who requested and received a dispensation from the pope to not be ordained a bishop was Cardinal-designate Raniero Cantalamessa, the 86-year-old preacher of the papal household.
The Capuchin priest said he wanted to shun all signs of a higher office, preferring to be laid to rest upon his death in the robes of a Franciscan, he told the Diocese of Rieti's website, ChiesaDiRieti.it.
The office of a bishop, he said, "is to be a shepherd and a fisherman. At my age, there is little I can do as a 'shepherd' but, on the other hand, what I can do as a fisherman is to keep proclaiming the word of God."
He said the pope asked him once more to deliver this year's Advent meditations, which were to be held in the Vatican's Paul VI audience hall, so attendees — Pope Francis and top Vatican officials — could maintain the required distancing.
Seven of the 13 newly named cardinals live in Italy or work in the Roman Curia, so getting to Rome is less complicated, even despite the advanced age of some, like 80-year-old Cardinal-designate Silvano M. Tomasi, a former nuncio Pope Francis recently named as his special delegate to the Sovereign Military Order of Malta.
Other Italians include Cardinals-designate Marcello Semeraro, 72, prefect of the Congregation for Saints' Causes and 56-year-old Paolo Lojudice, Archbishop of Siena.
Cardinal-designate Mario Grech, who is Maltese, is secretary-general of the Synod of Bishops.
The 63-year-old former Bishop of Gozo leads the list of new cardinals, and he told Gozo News that he would be making a speech on behalf of all the new cardinals at the ceremony.
He said they may visit retired Pope Benedict XVI at his residence in the Vatican gardens, and Pope Francis would celebrate Mass with the new cardinals the day after the consistory for the first Sunday of Advent, Nov. 29, in St. Peter's Basilica.
As of Nov. 19, the Vatican had not released detailed information about the weekend events, but some cardinals-designate confirmed they were allowed to invite a maximum of 10 people to the Nov. 28 event. It was expected the traditional meet-and-greet gatherings for new cardinals and well-wishers at the Paul VI hall or the Apostolic Palace would not be held.
According to canon law, cardinals are created by the pope's decree and church law does not insist that the new cardinal be present, although traditionally the consistory includes a public profession of faith by the new cardinals.
Of the 13 new cardinals, only two told news outlets ahead of time that they would not be coming. The cardinals-designate were given the option to not make the trip and instead receive their insignia in their home country.
Although they wanted to attend the ceremony, Cardinals-designate Jose F. Advincula of Capiz, Philippines, 68, and Cornelius Sim, apostolic vicar of Brunei, 69, both canceled their trips to Rome due to the pandemic.
Once the consistory is held in late November, there will be 128 cardinals under the age of 80 and eligible to vote in a conclave. Pope Francis will have created just over 57% of them. Sixteen of the cardinals created by St. John Paul II will still be under 80 as will 39 of the cardinals created by Pope Benedict XVI; Pope Francis will have created 73 of the electors.

On start up, this module builds a mapping of the legal Controller
requests based on the actually files with names ending in '_controller'
in the src directory. For example, if you created two controllers:

'feed_controller' and 'login_controller'

the mapping:

feed -> feed_controller

login -> login_controller

  is created.  This prevents creating an atom() for every incoming
  request which could lead to a potential DoS attack by filling the global
  atom() table.

Questions Abound for the Blue Jays as Spring Training Opens
February 14, 2017 February 14, 2017 Jay Blue
Signing autographs at Florida Auto Exchange Stadium
Pitchers and catchers have reported to spring training and, aside from the "Best Shape of His Life" articles and tweets that we've already started to get (like this one about Pablo Sandoval and this one about Noah Syndergaard), the other trope of baseball writing is that we get this time of year is the "Questions" article.
It seems that it's a job requirement for every baseball writer to come up with a series of questions that they have for their team to answer over spring training and the season. Richard Griffin gave us five of them, Scott MacArthur gave us a video, Gregor Chisholm got lazy and gave us three questions (just kidding, Gregor, we love you) and Shi Davidi appears that he hasn't gotten around to this year's questions yet but he publishes one annually (like the four "issues" he identified in 2015 while he had only "very few" in 2016).
Here at Blue Jays from Away, we've had our own questions that we've wanted the Blue Jays to answer as the winter rolls into spring.
1. Bullpen
With all the talk of Joe Biagini moving to the starting rotation at some point, the bullpen isn't really settled, but when is it at this point in spring training? Last year we were talking about the Blue Jays' bullpen being among the club's strengths after the Jays traded for Drew Storen. Biagini was the question mark (the Rule 5 guy), but the rest of the pen? That was locked down. Oops. So, like most years, the club will head into spring training with a bullpen that will likely be a work in progress as Opening Day approaches (and is passed). I won't expect the real identity of the club's bullpen to emerge until May or June.
At least to start the year, we'll have Roberto Osuna, Joe Smith, Jason Grilli, J.P. Howell, and Aaron Loup. Joe Biagini is probably there. That gives us six out of a potential eight (the Jays have shown that they're not afraid to carry an extra reliever in the past).
Out of options are Mike Bolsinger and Bo Schultz, both righties. I can't see the Jays carrying both of these guys. On the bubble but with options remaining are righties Ryan Tepera, Chris Smith, Danny Barnes and Dominic Leone. Tepera has the inside track of these guys and if two of these guys make the club, I put Danny Barnes second. Glenn Sparkman is a special case because he's this year's "Rule 5 Guy." Matt Dermody and Ryan Borucki are lefties with options remaining (neither is likely to make the big league club).
Among non-roster invitees, righty Gavin Floyd is the likeliest to earn a job while lefty Brett Oberholtzer has big league experience, as does Jeff Beliveau and Leonel Campos.
As is the case every year, the back of the bullpen will depend on health, contract status and performance.
2. Left field
I know, it's been talked about to death. Who's going to play left field? Probably a combination of Melvin Upton, Jr. and Ezequiel Carrera. You're probably shouting "But what about Dalton Pompey?" (hi, Val!) I think Dalton's time is coming but it won't be the start of the year. If he does make the club it'll be as a fifth outfielder/pinch runner but he could see playing increase if Upton and/or Carrera aren't producing and Steven Pearce looks like he isn't playing outfield well, but people have said that the Jays still want Pompey to play every day and, since he's still only 24, he should be getting every day at bats somewhere.
3. First base
Who plays? Well, again, performance will work things out for us. Smoak, Pearce, Bautista? All three could spend an equal amount of time at the position. Bautista will only play a lot of first base if Pompey emerges and performs so well that the club needs to get his bat into the lineup while Smoak and/or Pearce are letting the offense down. This is a question that won't likely be answered in spring training though.
4. Back up catcher
With A.J. Jimenez released, it's down to three contenders (for now . . . minor league free agent signings are still ahead of us). Jarrod Saltalamacchia is the front runner despite only being signed to a minor league contract. He hasn't hit much in the past few years but is a respected "leader" on the field and in the clubhouse. Still, the Jays do have Juan Graterol on the 40-man, claimed off waivers this winter. Graterol won't give you much, but hey, neither did Josh Thole. The final wild card in this hand is Reese McGuire. McGuire is a former top prospect whose defense has been ready for a while but his bat hasn't developed as hoped. If he can hit a little bit, he might find his way to a job but since he doesn't have to be on the 40-man roster until after this season, he might be a year away from that role.
The Jays have two other players invited to spring training but neither is really expected to stick at the big league level. Alex Monsalve has been an inconsistent bat but decent glove in the minors but has only played one game at the Triple-a level in his career while Mike Ohlman is known more for his bat than his glove and, while he's been at the Double-A level for parts of three seasons, he only has 54 Triple-A games under his belt.
5. Who overreaches and who underperforms?
This is the going to be the biggest question to answer for the 2017 season and, ultimately, will make or break the Toronto Blue Jays' playoff hopes. Are the Blue Jays able to generate enough offense without Edwin Encarnacion? That will entail strong years from Kendrys Morales and the Justin Smoak/Steven Pearce tandem. Which Troy Tulowitzki do we see? The one from the beginning of last year, or the one from the second half? Can Aaron Loup step up and deliver? Can Jason Grilli keep up his excellent pitching from Toronto for another year? Is Russell Martin on the decline? Can Devon Travis stay healthy? Can Josh Donaldson keep performing like an MVP? Can Kevin Pillar continue to be Superman without dragging the offense down? And the big question. Is Jose Bautista going to return to form and stay healthy? Can Francisco Liriano pitch at the same level he pitched at in Toronto or is he going to give us what he gave Pittsburgh last year?
I know that question #5 is a big one that encompasses more individual questions but those are the ones that really drive the team's chances for 2017, much more than the left field/backup catcher ones. The guys who are getting the big money need to play like they're getting big money.
Notice that I haven't written much about the Blue Jays' starting rotation. I think we've seen that these guys are the real deal and, while of course there is plenty of room for decline (because how much room for improvement is there really, particularly with Aaron Sanchez), this group, particularly the top four of Sanchez, Marcus Stroman, Marco Estrada and J.A. Happ, have all shown that they can compete at a very high level.
So those are my questions. How about yours?

Q: Release build debugging issue I have a fairly standard C++/QT app that works fine in debug and release on my development PC. When trying out the release version on a clean PC it runs but part of the functionality (showing video via a USB connection) just doesn't run. Well, seen this before and my standard technique is to add debug information to the release build, setup remote debugging and have a look. Much to my surprise, it runs fine as a release build with debug info (.pdb)
I have never seen this before.
using dependency walker shows no problems with any dependencies. Using the profiler that is a part of Dependency Walker and it also runs perfectly.
I have run out of debugging techniques and the only thing I can think of is to add message boxes at various places which in a multi threaded application does not seem a good idea.
Is there a debugging technique that could help me find this problem? We're using VS2008 and Qt 4.7.1.

A: I think logging is your friend. If you have multiple threads you may want to log each thread to different log file.

A: Refine your message boxes - use a log file.
From your description, it seems to me that there may be some sort of race condition/timing issue that gets solved when some thread or other gets slowed down by being observed by something. Or by adding debug info to the binary.
Using a log file with timestamps, you should be able to keep track of when things happen.

The rearranging continues! Yesterday, I reoriented the bed so that it faces the doorway. I love walking into a bedroom and seeing the front of the bed rather than the side, but with a small off-center window on the far wall, I didn't think it could work for our room.
Here's the "before" view walking into the room - the side of the bed. I've wanted to turn the bed for a while, but especially without a headboard, positioning a bed partially in front of a window with full length curtains can be tricky.
But it works! Even though the window is off-center, the height of the mirror and dresser on the opposite side of the bed helps to balance the room.
And I love, love, love that all of the layers of linens on the bed take center stage in the room now. And even though summer is fast approaching, I can't bring myself to put away the down-filled comforter with linen duvet cover. It's just too pretty... so it stays on the bed all year long!
I can now also put my antique trencher bowl at the foot of the bed... something I've always wanted to do, but never before had the space to do it.
One side of the bed gets a traditional bedside table with a lamp.
On the other side of the bed, the antique white dresser stands in place of a table. It makes for one less piece of furniture than before, which in a small room makes a big difference in space.
An antique full-lenth mirror and topiary sit on a chippy white bench right inside the door.
And after sleeping on it for one night, I declare the new bedroom layout a success!
I don't know what you do when you're bored, but I rearrange furniture. A few weeks ago, on a lazy Sunday evening, I coerced my sweet husband into helping me rearrange the couches in the living room. (Which was better than this past weekend, when I coerced him into helping me unload the huge bookcases and move them across the room, only to decided I didn't like it, and have him move them back... Oops.) But this change worked out nicely.
The couches used to face each other, but we moved the brown leather couch in front of the window instead, which really opened up the room. That couch also now faces the TV, which is an added bonus. I am not really in love with either of our couches... they are a mismatched pair, each one held over from our single days (mine was the white slipcovered, his was the brown leather). After almost 3 years of marriage, I'm looking forward to buying our first couch together someday soon. I've been gathering ideas here.
With the new arrangement, my husband's computer table now "floats" in the room, rather than butting up to the back of the couch. I've since replaced his desk chair with the cane back french dining chair, instead of having it sit separately beside the desk - much more stylish and comfortable, and it leaves more room for walking.
It found a new home in the bedroom. During the day, it holds a simple pair of red striped grain sack pillows (one antique, one from TJ Maxx).

Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann says his late equaliser against Arsenal in Europa League semifinal first leg is a result of Diego Simeone's work.
Atletico Madrid have told Barcelona "enough is enough" following further reports that the Catalan club will pay Antoine Griezmann's release clause this summer.
Cadena Cope claimed on Tuesday that Barca have already told Atletico of their plans to pay the €100 million fee which would allow them to bring the France forward to Camp Nou.
However, a high-ranking Barcelona source told ESPN FC they "can't possibly believe that is true" at this moment in time.
The latest development comes just days after Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu and striker Luis Suarez spoke openly about the La Liga champion's interest in Griezmann.
Suarez, talking as if the deal was already done, said that Griezmann will be "welcome" at Barca and Bartomeu confirmed that he met with the Atletico player's agent last October.
It's all been too much for Atletico, who responded late on Tuesday in the form of a furious statement attributed to their CEO Miguel Angel Gil Marin.
"We're fed up with Barcelona's attitude," Gil Marin said. "That a president and a player speak the way they've done about the future of a player with an existing contract -- and just a few days before disputing a European final -- shows an absolute lack of respect towards Atletico Madrid and the club's fans.
"Atletico's stance is very clear and has been made public on numerous occasions. Not once have we negotiated for Griezmann, nor do we have any intention to do so. A few months ago, I personally expressed to [Bartomeu] that our player isn't for sale nor are we going to sell him.
"At the same time, I let him know that his inappropriate conduct was against the integrity of the competition, especially since we've been competing for the league title throughout the season and Barcelona have been continuously pressuring one of the most important players."
However, should Barca pay Griezmann's buyout clause at the end of the season, there's little Atletico can do in theory to stand in the way of a transfer -- a situation they themselves benefitted from when they signed Vitolo from Sevilla last summer.
Gil Marin, though, says the Rojiblancos will not let the matter go easily and suggested they will take action.
He added: "I also told [Bartomeu] that in the chance the player exercises his right to nullify his contract due to their pressure throughout the season, that Atletico Madrid would demand Barcelona compensation for their inappropriate behaviour.
"Enough is enough. I hope this statement serves its purpose and that us Atletico fans can enjoy this moment and prepare ourselves for a final like we should."
The transfer saga has been rumbling on for months, with Barca already forced to release a statement in January denying they had held talks with Griezmann's family following some clumsy comments from director Guillermo Amor.
Griezmann looked set to leave Atletico for Manchester United last summer until he performed a U-turn, deciding to stay put out of loyalty after the club had their transfer ban upheld.
He's left his future beyond this season up in the air, though, and said last week that he's waiting on the result of talks with Atletico before deciding his future amid the constant speculation.
Earlier this season, he revealed that he expects everything to be cleared up, one way or another, before he heads off to the World Cup with France this summer.


Dovetail's platform leverages mobile cloud-based technology to streamline practice management.
MONTREAL – Gaargle Solutions Inc. today announced the launch of Dovetail, a cloud-based-mobile EMR and practice management software, built to streamline and facilitate the work of dental professionals. The solution was envisioned by Dr. Pietro Di Battista, a Montreal-based periodontist, who became frustrated with the broken processes imposed by existing software platforms.
For too long, dental professionals have relied on cumbersome systems to manage patient data and administrative tasks, said Dr. Di Battista. Dovetail enables them to focus on what's important — their patients and clinical practice.
Dovetail provides an easy and intuitive way of accessing and entering patient information, completing exams, developing treatment plans and producing progress notes, whether in the clinic or on the go. This new cloud-based-mobile platform facilitates collaboration between professionals regarding treatments, as well as the seamless, secure sharing of information.
This EMR and office management software provides all the necessary tools to efficiently run a practice. These include analytics that allow users to run multiple reports, including treatments, referrals and financial transactions. Dovetail also provides intelligent scheduling that can send patients automatic reminders and allow them to confirm appointments via email or text message. The software allows users to submit electronic insurance claims and process credit card transactions. All these tools are accessible from mobile tablets or any computer.
Dovetail offers different pricing packages to meet the needs of individual practitioners, as well as large clinics. A free thirty-day trial is available to new users. To take advantage of this offer, please visit www.dovetail.co/try-it-for-free.

Gary Snyder joined his old friend, novelist Jim Harrison, to discuss their loves & lives & what has become of them throughout the years. Set amidst the natural beauty of the Santa Lucia Mountains, their conversations—harnessing their ideas of all that is wild, sacred & intimate in this world—move from the admission that Snyder's mother was a devout atheist to his personal accounts of his initiation into Zen Buddhist culture, being literally dangled by the ankles over a cliff. After years of living in Japan, Snyder returns to the States to build a farmhouse in the remote foothills of the Sierras, a homestead he calls Kitkitdizze.
For all of the depth in these conversations, Jim Harrison & Gary Snyder are humorous & friendly, & with the artfully interspersed dialogue from old friends & loves like Scott Slovic, Michael McClure, Jack Shoemaker, & Joanne Kyger, the discussion reaches a level of not only the personal, but the global, redefining our idea of the Beat Generation & challenging the future directions of the environmental movement & its association with "Deep Ecology."
The Etiquette of Freedom is an all-encompassing companion to the film The Practice of the Wild. A DVD is included which contains the film together with more than an hour of out-takes & expanded interviews, as well as an extended reading by Gary Snyder. The whole offers a rare glimpse of their extended discussion of life & what it means to be wild & alive.
