Q: Java 8: Iterate over a list and add to a map based on condition I have a List, which I'm iterating over, and on some condition of each element, I am adding each element of the List to a data structure in a specific position, Following is the code in Java 7.
The data structure where I am adding each element from the list is,
/* The data structure has two slots, one for parents and another for children */
MenuBar menuBar = new MenuBar();

Now the code snippet is,
MenuBar menuBar = new MenuBar();
for (Menu menu : menuList) {
    if (isParentMenu(menu.getId())) {
        menuBar.addMenu(menu);
    } else {
        Menu parent = getMenuById(menu.getParentId());
        menuBar.addChildMenu(parent, menu);
    }
}

Now I am struggling to create a Java 8 code equivalent to the same, Following is what I am trying on,
// The following code is not complete , just trying
   menuList.stream().filter(menu -> isParentMenu(menu.getId()))
   .map(menu -> menuBar.addMenu(menu))

A: I don't think your code needs to be changed , to be honest. As it is now, it is clear enough. Changing it to streams might even add some overheads, making it less performant than a loop.
A really simple streams solution would be:
MenuBar menuBar = new MenuBar();
menuList.stream().forEach(x -> {
    if (isParentMenu(x.getId())) {
        menuBar.addMenu(x);
    } else {
        Menu parent = getMenuById(x.getParentId());
        menuBar.addChildMenu(parent, x);
    }
});

Alternatively, you can use partitioningBy:
Map<Boolean, List<Menu>> map = menuList.stream().collect(Collectors.partitioningBy(x -> isParentMenu(x.getId())));
map.get(true).stream().forEach(menuBar::addMenu);
map.get(false).stream().forEach(x -> {
    Menu parent = getMenuById(x.getParentId());
    menuBar.addChildMenu(parent, x);
});

A: You you want to use filter you need to run forEach twice, or you write if-else inside single forEach. Something like this:
menuList.stream().forEach(
                    menu -> {
                        if(isParentMenu(menu.getId()) {
                            menuBar.addMenu(menu);
                        } else {
                            Menu parent = getMenuById(menu.getParentId());
                            menuBar.addChildMenu(parent, menu);
                        }
                    }
            );


Make your trip run a little smoother with Yakima's ratcheting Bow-Stern Tie-down.
Easily secure the bow and stern of any boat with Yakima's ratcheting Bow/Stern Tie-down. Spend more time in your boat and less time securing and removing from your car—the ratcheting mechanism lets you easily and quickly adjust the Tie-down's tension. The Tie-down's corrosion resistant stainless steel and coated zinc hooks and hardware attach away from your boat to prevent abrasion. The Bow/Stern Tie-down is sold in pairs.
These tie-downs do exactly what they should-- secure your boat-- and that immediately makes them worth the money.
All the components are good. The "quick ratchet" works great and tightens in a flash. The ropes and straps are solid; this kit even comes with two rope "sleeves" (oddly not pictured or mentioned here) to prevent the ropes from getting friction wear by rubbing against your car. My only negative is a repeat of an earlier reviewer that the hooks are fairly short. While I have not had any problem with them coming unhooked I would like a little extra length on the hook or a more aggressive hook angle.
Combined with the straps included with the Yakima gunwale brackets my wife and I can load and secure our canoe on my car in less than 5 minutes. Not only do these straps attach quickly they provide invaluable peace of mind when carrying your craft.
Excellent investment. Very secure and yet simple to use. I would highly recommend these bow/stern tie downs. I purchased one set for myself, to 'try them out.' Immediately I bought two more sets, one for myself and one for another kayaking friend. The tie downs snug up very quickly and easily (be careful not to pull too tight!). There is a quick release when it's time to get the boat down and into the water.
These bow/stern tie-downs really make it easy and quick to [re]secure your kayak to your vehicle. High-quality and sturdy materials - definitely recommend for quick set-up/tear-down.
I love these tie downs because if I am going far with my boats I feel more secure about having them on the roof with these bow/stern tie downs on there. You always get a little lift when you have kayaks on top of your roof but when I crank these down it really cuts that out. Love em.
Quick and easy to use. Another great Yakima product.
I bought the tie-down system from Yakima. It is easy and looks pretty but the hooks are not long enough. When the kayak bounces (which happens because the Yakima saddles have a lot of play) the hooks undo themselves. A helpful modification would be for Yakima to use a hook with a longer curved part at the head.
I use the tie downs I purchased here to accompany the Yakima Kayak Stacker. The tie down works great. It was easy to set up and adds to the safety of the kayak during transportation. I highly recommend using this to accompany the kayak stacker.

Escape games are fun and all, but don't you think they're best when they have the constant threat of painful demise? Kotorinosu is back for more with The Dangerous GEN-KAN 2, which, just like the original game, is packed with death everywhere you look, but don't worry... if you explode, fall to your doom, or otherwise become dearly departed, you can always just hit retry and be booted back to before your little... accident. See, you're locked in a place filled with danger both obvious, and, eh, trial-and-error, and finding a way out means figuring out what puzzles you need to solve, and what's just a big fat lethal red herring... when used incorrectly. Just click to navigate and interact, click an item in your inventory to highlight it for use, or an item's question mark to view it up close.
The Dangerous GEN-KAN 2 is less about your typical "use screwdriver yonder" point-and-click puzzling, and more about deciphering clues and the proper order in which to approach things, while at the same time trying not to be electrocuted. There's no changing cursor to mark interactive zones, but at the same time, the incredibly smooth and clean presentation usually means you won't encounter any sort of pixel hunting if you have an eye for detail and remember to check under and around everything. In any ordinary escape game, being stuck on a puzzle might sting enough without it repeatedly killing you for your trouble, so some players may find it extra frustrating. There are a lot of items and perspectives tucked in places you might not instinctively think to look, and some of the item uses are a little clunky. At the same time, however, The Dangerous GEN-KAN 2's gleefully malicious puzzle design tends to be tricky in the best possible way in most cases, and the spark of satisfaction you'll feel as you work to progress and figure things out makes the game stand out from the pack. It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye, but where The Dangerous GEN-KAN 2 is concerned, even a little loss of limb counts for a good time.
Thanks to Omonom for sending this one in!
The Dangerous GEN-KAN 2 Walkthrough now available!
Note that most of the codes in this game are randomly generated, so the walkthrough can't give you all the answers.
I'm going to assume you know enough to take stock of your surroundings before you start, so I won't be telling you things like "turn right twice" - I expect you to know where the fan view is without being told.
Get the S from under the book on the side table. Note that the bottom drawer needs a key, and the top drawer is secured with a screw on the side. Look at the book for a clue that doesn't make any sense yet.
Look under the couch cushions. There's a button with a letter written around it four times. (Which letter it is changes from game to game.) This is the first of the six letter buttons you need to find.
Above the couch, there's a compass rose with shapes. AFAIK, this clue doesn't change game to game: North = circle, East = diamond, South = square, West = X.
Look at the hand on the right. It needs a thin poky thing to open it. Look at the hand on the left: you have one of the missing buttons. Put it in place and press it. Get the note that was wrapped around the index finger.
Look at the box on the coffee table. Compare it to the note you just got and the picture above the couch. Set the dials according to the clue you got (it will be different each game). If your note has a combination of shapes - say, an X in a circle - then point that dial at the direction in between those two shapes - in our example, northwest.
If you did it right, you'll get a part of a key. If you did it wrong, you'll blow up.
Turn around until you see the vertical bars. Look in the bottom right corner of the barred doorway and get the big metal plate. Look at the button in the middle of the bars and note the letter.
Turn back to the couch view and click to the left of the couch. Put the metal plate on the trapdoor, then look in the nook on the wall to get the blue gloves.
Turn to the fan view. Look at the big plug below the fan. Using the gloves, pick up the plug and get the metal piece. Then, click the socket on the left to plug in the fan.
Combine the metal piece with the key part to get a complete key. Use it to open the wall cabinet to the left of the couch. Get the lollipop and the red handle. Note the letter button behind the books on the lower shelf. Look at the hint in the red book on the upper shelf.
Turn back to the fan view. After double-checking that the fan is on, look at the poison canister. Put the red handle in the top and turn it. Get the lighter.
Use the lighter on the lollipop (this was one of the hints in the red book in the wall cabinet). Use the resulting screwdriver to open the top drawer of the side table. Get the soda bottle and the P.
Use the P on the hand to the left. Get the ring. Examine it and remove the stone. Look at the trapdoor nook again and pull down the chain. Use the ring-sans-stone to secure it to the loop in the floor.
Put the stone into the wall plate above the poison canister to turn off the lasers. Go look at the plant. Get the fork.
Go back to the fan and unplug it (don't forget to use the gloves). Look at the fan and find the four little holes on the right of the frame. Use the fork to open the grating. Get the faucet knob.
Manually turn the fan blade until you match up the numbers. (Clue will change each game.) Note the numbers and their locations.
Look at the cabinet under the sink. Press the buttons in the order indicated by the fan, then press the middle button. Note the letter button on the right. Pull the chain on the left.
Look at the trapdoor nook again. Get the baseball. Go towards the plant until you can see the dark hole in the ceiling. Click it to see something glinting up there. Throw the baseball at it, then get the heck out of the way. Retrieve the baseball and the hex wrench.
Use the wrench to remove the door to the right of the vertical bars. (Don't leave the bottom nut for last, because the door will fall on you and crush you.) Note the letter on the fallen panel.
Put the nuts from the door panel into the leaky pipe under the wall cabinet. Tighten them with the wrench.
Go to the sink. Put the faucet knob in place. Turn on the water and fill the soda bottle. Turn off the water and empty the soda bottle into the sink. Get the key from the bottle.
Use the key you got from the soda bottle to open the bottom drawer of the side table. Pull the handle down.
The handle caused the compass-rose picture to fall off the wall and reveal a scary face. Retrieve the picture from behind the couch and look at its back. Get the thin poky thing.
Use the thin poky thing to open the hand on the right. Press the P button to cause it to drop the pencil. Use the pencil on the Memo page of the green book on the side table; click the page you just scribbled over to tear it out.
Look at the page you tore out of the book. Note the hand positions, and note which hand it is (by looking at the thumbs). Press the corresponding buttons of the corresponding hands, in order from left to right.
Look at the scary face and press the button below it. If you pressed the buttons right, you get a knife. If you got the buttons wrong, you get eaten.
Use the knife on the baseball. Get the red key.
Use the red key to open the safe (where the screwed-in panel was). Note the letter button on its door. Quickly go around the room and press the buttons to spell SAFETY, in that order.
Enter the door that opened where the "SAFETY" sign used to be. Wait for the explosion. (If you've got your sound turned off, the screen will go white when the explosion happens.) Click the door to open it, then go towards the sliver of light until you leave the wreckage.
Click to enter the room.
Click the table on the right. Lift the book. Take the "S" button.
Click the hand on the left. Place the "S" button in it's place. Click it. Take the piece of paper wrapped around the index finger.
Look at the red painting on the wall. Note the locations of each shape.
Using the paper and the red painting, open the box on the coffee table. It's randomized every game. When there are 2 shapes, choose the direction that is between them.
Turn around and look through the bars. Take the metal grating.
Turn back around and put the grating over the trap door left of the couch. Take the gloves from the hole.
Turn right. Use the gloves to lift the plug. Take the other key half and connect the plug to the receptacle. This will turn the fan on.
Turn around. Connect the 2 key halves. Use the key on the wall cabinet. Take the lollipop and handle. Note that the red book explains a couple of obvious things.
Turn around. Use the handle on the purple poison container. The fan will dissipate the poison. Take the lighter.
Turn left. Use the lighter on the lollipop. Use this stick on the side of the table where the arrow under the book points. Open the top drawer. Take the "P" button and the bottle.
Click the left hand. Place the "P" button in it's place. Click it. Take the ring, examine it, and separate the stone from the ring.
Click on the hole left of the couch. Use the ring to attach the chain to the latch.
Turn right. Use the stone from the ring in the panel on the wall. This will deactivate the lasers.
Click the plant. Take the fork.
Back out. Unplug the electricity (don't forget the gloves). Use the fork to open the fan cover. Take the sink handle. Rotate the fan until you can read the 5 numbers. Note their positions.
Go to the sink. Click the cabinet. Press the buttons in the order indicated by the fan. Pull the chain down.
Back all the way out and turn left. Go to the hole left of the couch. Take the baseball.
Turn right. Enter the doorway. Look up at a hole in the ceiling. Throw the baseball, then quickly step back. The ball and a wrench will hit the ground. Take them both.
Back out and turn right. Use the wrench to remove the bolts on the door.
Turn right. Use the bolts on the pipe below the cabinet. Use the wrench to secure them both.
Turn around. Go to the sink. Use the handle on it and turn on the water. Fill the bottle, then turn off the water and empty it. Take the key.
Back out and turn left. Use the key on the bottom drawer of the side table. Flip the switch.
Take the red painting behind the couch. Examine it, flip it over, and take the pin.
Click on the right hand. Use the pin on the left corner. Press the "P" button to open the hand. Take the pencil.
Click the side table. Click the book to lift it, then click it again. Note the left side to identify which hand position corresponds to rock, paper and scissors. Use the pencil on the right side to reveal a clue. Click the page to tear it out.
Follow the clue on the page, click the buttons on the corresponding hands. Take note of the thumb positions to determine which hand is which. The code is randomized each game. Once you have entered the correct code, click the button below the giant face. It's mouth will open and it will drop a knife.
Use the knife on the baseball and get a key.
TUrn around. use the key on the small door.
Press the buttons in order, spelling out S-A-F-E-T-Y.
Upon pressing the last button, all the buttons will glow. A door will appear where the green "safety" alcove was. Enter this door, let it close behind you, and wait for the bomb to go off. Enter the room.
Exit the room through the doorway where the light is shining. You're out!

Being in the room when the timer on the bomb reaches 0.
I have a pair of gloves (already used on the electrical thing) and a lollipop (already tried to eat it, did not go well). I've opened the box on the glass table and the cabinet on the wall, and now I'm stuck. I can't seem to find the P for the rock, paper, scissors thing. I found the handle for the container of poison but I can't open it because it's full of, you know, poison.
have no idea what to do with the baseball or bottle with the red cube in it.
using that item on the 3 keyholes,without sucess.I also tried using it on those holes in the vent.No sucess.
I was stuck there for a while. There was one item I missed when looking about the room.
the platform to the lower right of the door you came in.
You need to combine the tooth part of the key with something else before you can use it.
the gloves do nothing to protect me from the purple poison.
Oh, wait, I got it now!
I didn't realize I could plug the electric thing in to turn on the fan.
I assume I should have died to the poison jar,but I didn't.I had the handle on its place,but I didn't used the gloves.They were on my inventory,and I could get the item inside.Now I have the P square.
Anyone figured out what to do with the grey face on the wall and its button?
So,I managed to do some few stuff.
You can turn the fan off.And mannualy rotate it.If you do it,you will discover something...interesting.
using the baseball on the roof hole?
I'm horrible at this. I have a piece of paper with the shapes on it...any help?
use it on the box on the glass table.
Look at those shapes.They aren't familiar to you?
Try looking on your surroundings.
Maybe somewhere on the wall?
That red painting in the wall is related with the paper and the box on the table.Try finding the pattern between them.
Wow! Out but not even going to attempt a walkthrough.
That cube is dissolved by water,so you really need to fill the bottle.
However if you turn the water on,after acquiring the handle,the room will flood.
Maybe because that pipe is broken.You should fix it before filling the box with the water.
I always look forward to new games from Kotorinosu, and this one did not disappoint. It had just the right amount of difficulty, and a perfect balance between puzzles and use of found objects. I've been feeling lately like the escape game genre has been a little lacking, but this game was a breath of fresh air.
Objects: baseball,handle(screwdriver?I'm foreigner,dunno what is the name of it),paper of the rock-paper-scissors and the knife.I miss the button with "S",so I can leave pressing them in order.Any help?
There seems to be no place to use one of those.
predated, if I press the button, where the picture on the wall was.
A little help would be very appreciated, thanks!
Did you pay attention to the way the hands in the clue were oriented? In particular, watch the thumbs.
Look at book you tore the page out of. The example ones are all from the same hand. Once your done, you need and enter button.
tear the page out of the book? To begin with, which book are we talking about - the one in the wall cabinet, or the one on the side table?
I did a double take myself when I first noticed this review. This one is titled "The Dangerous GEN-KAN 2" and the other one is titled "Dangerous GEN-KAN 2." The difference is in the article, I guess.
Okay, I got it working. I changed my Flash settings to allow it however much memory it wanted.
And both walk-throughs indicate this is no big deal. What am I doing wrong?
It is not under the sink. It is somewhere else and you have likely already seen it.
I liked how it all came together in the final puzzle, but not so much looking for a corners and areas of the room when everything's generally monochrome. If your monitor isn't bright enough, it's easy to miss.
The explosion sound was fun.
I gave up on the left and right RPS scissors clues.
Those drawings need to be MUCH bigger and MUCH clearer.
After all that I can't finish it :/ I can't click all green buttons in under a minute.
kotorinosu are 'for me' one of the best at room escapes presently, as Nerdypants pointed out, recent games have been a little stale from everyone else.
...oh yes and anyone who says no deaths on their first run is talking nonsense.
and a half dozen other incidents I could mention.
Yes "ecru" I'm looking squarely at you when I say that.
most intuitive death. Makes sense to me, since rubber doesn't conduct electricity and the electrical device had one of those danger symbols on it.
on the ring you have to click about 4 times to get the stone.
And there aren't any red herring items or places to click (except the ones that kill you, but those have specific ways of dealing with them later), which are truly annoying. I love this game!
threw the baseball and got out of the way. It just stopped. I can pick up the baseball and the wrench nor can I move to another scene.
I CAN'T pick up the baseball and wrench.
Definitely a bug. I reloaded and didn't have the baseball. So I got again and I tried to use it again and the same thing happens. It just stops. I can't pick up anything nor move to another scene.
it breaks. No picking up anything no changing scenes just nothing.
Only got to playing this now, but I escaped!
(after I found some items with the help of the walkthrough).
Did you try the game in a different browser? I played it in Firefox just fine.
If you unfasten the bottom screw on the door last, you get crushed by it when it falls.
i apologize ahead of time about this, as it does pertain to a kotorinisou game but it's the Mirror game. lately it seems to have been configured so the inventory is hidden, as i can no longer access it. Does anyone have this issue? it does this in both Google and IE web browsers. Please help. Maybe there's a better alternate link i can use.
I see exactly the same thing, Paul. (I posted a comment to that effect on the actual Mirror Escape thread.) The only thing I can suggest is to go to Kotorinosu's website directly, and find the game there.
For some reason, I can't turn on the tap in the sink. I've already..
..secured the bolts on the leaky water pipe and put the handle on the faucet.
but nothing happens when I click on the tap handle. Help!

UK Government 'is not doing a good job in securing a post-Brexit deal for financial services sector'
A Brexit Wealth Index 2018 released by EISA says a majority of investors fear their wealth creation opportunities and abilities to invest in SMEs will suffer when UK leaves the EU
The Brexit Wealth Index 2018 outlines wealth creation opportunities available to investors post-Brexit
Nearly two in three investors do not think the UK Government is doing a good job in securing a Brexit deal for the country's financial services sector, a new survey has claimed.
The figure has emerged in The Brexit Wealth Index 2018, launched by the Enterprise Investment Scheme Association (EISA), a not for profit organisation which aids the provision of capital to SMEs through the Enterprise Investment Scheme.
UK Government to publish no-deal Brexit advice to business
The data outlines wealth creation opportunities available to investors post-Brexit.
And the research makes for grim reading if the UK leaves the European Union without a deal.
Three in 10 investors - 8.75 million - said securing a good deal with the EU would be crucial to their continuing investments into UK SMEs.
Around 43 per cent - 12.5 million - believe the UK Goernment's actions affect their investment decisions more than ever before.
And 13 million investors say Brexit will not make them wealthier.
Meanwhile half of investors - 14.5 million - believe their wealth has not increased since the referendum decision in June 2016.
Overwhelmingly 17 million do not think the UK Government is doing a good job.
In 2016 17.41 million people actually voted for Brexit.
However, four in 10 - 39 per cent - say there will be more opportunity for wealth creation and entrepreneurship post-Brexit compared to 32 per cent - 9.5 million - who do not.
And 10 million British investors believe there will be more opportunities to invest into SMEs in a post-Brexit Britain - with seven million disagreeing.
Mark Brownridge, director general of the Enterprise Investment Scheme Association (EISA), said: "It is clear from this research that British investors feel that Brexit has not made them wealthier to date, and they do not believe that it will in the future either.
"Moreover, they feel that our Government does not have their back, and in fact, is contributing to the negative sentiment surrounding Brexit. The fact that so many investors feel this way is going to have a knock-on impact on the rest of the country and the economy.
"However, there is some positivity, with many feeling that there will be great opportunities for wealth creation, entrepreneurship, and investment into SMEs in a post-Brexit Britain.
CBI calls for new post-Brexit immigration policy
"We must remain optimistic yet cautious, we need to ensure that investors have the confidence to continue to look to UK SMEs as a viable investment, and also ensure that there is enough capital for investors to reinvest back into UK businesses."
The survey was released as Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab gave a speech outlining how the Government would take "unilateral action" to maintain continuity if negotiations break down.

Chambers ready to take on skipper
Fri 12 Feb 2016, 01:11 PM
Will Chambers has loved every minute of playing alongside Cameron Smith during his seven seasons with Melbourne but come Saturday night it will be a different story.
The Storm, Maroon and Kangaroo teammates will find themselves on opposing sides during the NRL All Stars match at Suncorp Stadium.
While the Storm centre is looking forward to representing the Indigenous All-Stars he admitted to being a touch apprehensive about going up against his club skipper.
"I'm nervous, he is a special footballer who I have had a lot to do with over my career and I've looked up to," Chambers said with a smile.
"He has really helped me with my footy and I probably wouldn't be the footballer I am without him."
It will be the second year in a row that Chambers will be representing the Indigenous All-Stars.
The future of the exhibition game has been cast into doubt during the week following the withdrawal of several key players.
However as far as Chambers is concerned, he remains as proud as ever to be a part of the showpiece event.
"It means a lot to myself and a lot to our people," he said.
"It is something I always look forward to and I can't wait to get out there on Saturday night and be a part of it again."

                            "document.getElementById('id_result').value = id_result;"+"console.log(\"change the box value\");";

                    try {

What I'm trying exactly to do is that when the payment is finished, this function is called in other methods in this class to get the result of the payment and it is printed in a box in the main html.

A: use this code
import javax.script.*;

public class InvokeScriptFunction {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        ScriptEngineManager manager = new ScriptEngineManager();
        ScriptEngine engine = manager.getEngineByName("JavaScript");

        // JavaScript code in a String
        String script = "function hello(name) { print('Hello, ' + name); }";
        // evaluate script
        engine.eval(script);

        // javax.script.Invocable is an optional interface.
        // Check whether your script engine implements or not!
        // Note that the JavaScript engine implements Invocable interface.
        Invocable inv = (Invocable) engine;

        // invoke the global function named "hello"
        inv.invokeFunction("hello", "Scripting!!" );
    }
}

good luck

A:  ScriptEngine engine = manager.getEngineByName("JavaScript");

Does this work?

A: You can do something like this
super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html", 20000);
super.loadUrl("javascript: { var pageFlag = '" + flag + "';}"); // Your Javascript function here

Shilpa's son shares Ganesh Chaturthi celebration pic in 1st post after Kundra's bail
By Priyanka Verma
Actor Shilpa Shetty's son, Viaan Raj Kundra, shared a picture from the family's Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations earlier this month. His post comes just hours after his father, businessman Raj Kundra, was granted bail in a porn case on a surety of ₹50,000.
The picture shared by Viaan showed him posing with Shilpa and his younger sister Samisha in front of a large idol of Lord Ganesha. The three of them wore matching white ethnic outfits with a floral design.
"Life as long as Lord Ganesha's trunk, Trouble as small as his mouse, Moments as sweet as modaks. Ganpati Bappa Morya!" the post read.
Raj was arrested in July for allegedly being the 'key conspirator' in a porn racket. He has been accused of being involved in the production of adult films and streaming them through his Hotshots app. On Monday, a Mumbai court granted bail to him in the case.
Shilpa released a statement on Raj's arrest last month and said that it was a 'challenging' time for her family but that she has full faith in the Mumbai police and judicial system. She also urged everyone to respect her family's privacy for the sake of Viaan and Samisha, and maintained that she is a 'proud law-abiding Indian citizen'. "We don't deserve a media trial. Please let the law take its course," she said.
After Raj got bail in the porn case, Shilpa took to Instagram Stories to share a cryptic quote on 'beautiful things' after a 'bad storm'. "Rainbows exist to prove that beautiful things can happen after a bad storm," the quote, which was attributed to Roger Lee, read.
Currently, Shilpa is seen as a judge on Super Dancer 4, alongside Geeta Kapur and Anurag Basu. She returned to the show last month after taking a few weeks off due to Raj's arrest.


It is widely recognised hamstring strain injury risk is multi-factorial in nature (Thorborg, 2014). It is then only a small and logical step to take to identify hamstring risk factor management also requires an equally multi-interventional and multi-disciplinary approach to safeguard clients from both initial and recurrent problems.
The last few years has seen injury reduction strategies focussed upon eccentric strength development, with the Nordic hamstring exercise playing a central but opinion dividing role upon both the social media and academic literature stage. As this approach is seen to elicit desirable change in both strength and muscle architectural properties related to reducing risk (Timmins et al., 2016), clinicians and S&C practitioners must strongly consider this exercises' inclusion within their return to play or hamstring health maintenance protocols (Oakely et al., 2017). Yet, numerous, long-standing risk factors such as hip musculature extensibility (Witrouw et al., 2003), fatigue (Small et al., 2010) and dynamic alignment of the lumbo-pelvic region (Chumanov et al.,2006) remain unchecked if eccentric strength remains our only tool of assessment and injury risk mitigation.
Within the past 12 months, three key papers, authored by a research group from Ghent University, have placed the inter-muscular recruitment relationships between the hip extensor synergists (hamstrings and gluteus maximus) and the dynamic alignment of trunk back in the spotlight with regards to injury risk.
A 2017 publication by the group, considering a prone hip extension test, revealed footballers were eight times more likely to experience a first-time hamstring injury if their hamstring musculature activated after their contra-lateral erector spinae but prior to their gluteus maximus. Yet, as the majority of hamstring injuries occur during sprinting (Opar et al., 2012), the recruitment patterns of the hamstrings and their synergists during this activity are of interest. Schuermans' 2016 paper identified footballers who demonstrated a higher level of gluteus maximus recruitment during the front swing phase of sprinting were at a lower risk of hamstring injury, another finding highlighting the importance of these hip extensor synergists in the overall maintenance of hamstring health. In support of these neuromuscular measures, a 2017 publication by this same group, identified footballers who displayed what the team described as higher levels of anterior pelvic tilting and thoracic side bend during the airborne phase of sprinting, were at increased risk of a first-time hamstring injury.
Reading movement to safeguard synergists?
Taken as a whole, and supplying an alternative to just eccentric strength, kinematic and neuromuscular markers observed during both high velocity and static contractions, may successfully inform on injury risk. However, within both clinical practice and performance focussed environments, the ability to identify altered patterns of recruitment and risk associated kinematics is no trivial matter. Due to the technology and time typically required to both gather and process the data for any one athlete, such measures often remain solely within the pages of academic journals.
The realities of the clinic will typically require clinicians to rely upon skills of observation and interpretation alone, a task heightened in complexity once confronted with multi-joint activity, performed at speed. In light of this, the above literature focussing upon sprint kinematics certainly raises questions with regards to how movement is to be evaluated and whether emphasis should focus upon the weight-bearing or swing leg.
If attention is centred upon the open kinetic chain, swing leg, the deviation in sagittal plane pelvic alignment associated to increased hamstring risk may indeed be an 'excessive' amplitude of anterior pelvic compared to controls. Alternatively, for the stance leg, the same positioning may be assessed as a trunk forward lean or a closed kinetic chain hip flexion. As the debate still continues as to the exact moment of hamstring injury (late swing or early stance - Liu et al., 2017), both interpretations possess clinical relevance. Additionally, the rapidly loaded stance leg soon becomes the swing limb. This constant interaction between eccentric closed and open chain demand, may mean both movement patterns can be filed as 'high risk', requiring scrutiny of both weight bearing and non-bearing challenges within any risk identification protocol.
From a Movement Performance Solutions perspective, the work of this research group highlights not only the need to assess the interactions of the hamstrings and their synergists but also to identify and clearly label risk associated movement patterns such as sidebend, anterior pelvic tilt and/or hip flexion. Through the use of site, direction and threshold, (site = hip, direction = flexion, threshold = high or low threshold of muscle recruitment), movement can be observed, questioned and evaluated within the clinic environment so as to inform on risk associated movement and recruitment patterns in the absence of costly kit.
An a cademic research-backed movement evaluation and training system enhancing and maintaining the health of movement for performance and wellbeing. A contemporary approach enabling clinics, centres and individuals to the apply science of movement into their practice.

TEHRAN, Feb. 14 (MNA) – Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif said it is no coincidence that last night's terrorist attack in southeastern Sistan and Baluchistan province occurred on the same day that 'Warsaw Circus' began.
"Is it no coincidence that Iran is hit by terror on the very day that #WarsawCircus begins? Especially when cohorts of same terrorists cheer it from Warsaw streets & support it with twitter bots? US seems to always make the same wrong choices, but expect different results," wrote Iranian Foreing Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in a tweet Wednesday night, minutes after a terrorist attack in Sistan and Baluchistan province claimed the lives of 27 people and injured dozens of others in southeastern Iran.
The suicide attack targeted a bus carrying Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps personnel. The so-called Jaish ul-Adl terror group, which is based across the border in Pakistan and is responsible for kidnapping Iranian border guards and carrying out other terrorist attacks of this kind in Zahedan over the past years, has claimed responsibility for the Wednesday night's terrorist attack on social media.
"We've always known Netanyahu's illusions. Now, the world - and those attending #WarsawCircus - know, too," wrote Zarif in his tweet, which had a screenshot of the Israeli PM's tweet attached to it.
Netanyahu's tweet was removed from his page a few hours after it was posted.

Gong Por Tai Village is located in the mountains of northern Thailand, about 6 hours south-west from Chiang Mai (population 1,640,479), the second largest city in Thailand. In the highlands of the mountains, less than 100 km from the Myanmar border, this village consists of ethnic Karen. This community was established approximately 100 years ago and the villagers are primarily involved in farming and animal husbandry. While water is abundant throughout the year, access is by dirt road and the largest town (population 58,377) is still 2 hours away. Getting certain types of supplies is a challenge. For Gong Por Tai village, the population numbers roughly 300 people, made up of 78 families with an average income of about $200-$230 USD (6,000-7,000 Thai Baht) per year.
Gong Por Tai School was established in September 1992 and is the primary educational facility for children under 13 years old in the Gong Por Tai Village. After 14 years old, they begin attending a larger school located 40 km away. They currently have only one building and about 30 students ranging in the age from 3 years old to 13 years old with 2 teachers.
Since its inception, Gong Por Tai School has received periodic funding and support from individuals and institutions for construction and renovations, but it still struggles to meet all of its day-to-day needs due to its relative isolation and limited funding.
Although we are not an NGO, nor have aspirations to be, we recognize that our success is derived from our interactions with people, and we'd like to give back to the community. We have therefore decided that we can have the most impact in a tangible and immediate way for Gong Por Tai School. Below is a list of the items that they have requested and that we hope to provide through setting aside part of the sales made through this website.
We hope to continue these types of charitable projects, rotating the project every 6 months. At the end of each 6-month period, when the donations are made, we will update this page with photos of the items as they are donated.
Thank you again to everyone who, intentionally or otherwise, has contributed to this project! We appreciate your continued business and we look forward to serving you for many years to come!

\section{Introduction and Lattice Setup}
The calculations of the QCD phase diagram and bulk
thermodynamic quantities from first principle give input for Heavy Ion
Phenomenology, Cosmology and Astrophysics. In particular, it is mandatory to
improve estimates on the critical temperature ($T_c$) to make contact with HIC
Phenomenology. Since for the critical energy density ($\varepsilon_c$) we have
$\varepsilon_c \sim T_c^4$, a small error on $T_c$ is important. Moreover, an
interesting question is whether or not the freeze-out temperature in HICs is
connected to $T_c$.

The grand canonical QCD partition function on the lattice is given by the
integral
\begin{equation}
Z_{GC}(am_q, am_s, N_s, N_t, \beta)=\int {\cal D}U\;
\left[\det M(U,m_q)\right]^2\left[\det M(U,m_s)\right]\exp\{-\beta
S_G[U]\}\quad ,
\end{equation}
where $a$ is the lattice spacing, $am_q$ and $am_s$ are the light and strange
quark masses respectively (given in lattice units), $N_s$ and $N_t$ are the
number of lattice points in spacial and temporal direction. $M$ is the fermion
matrix and $U$ are the gauge fields, located on the links between the lattice
points. $S_G$ is the gauge part of the action and $\beta$ is the coupling which
controls the lattice spacing. The lattice action we use is especially designed
for finite temperature QCD Simulations, where the lattice spacing is
usually rather large. In the gauge sector we use a $(2\times1)$-Symanzik
improvement scheme which eliminates all cut-off effects of order ${\cal
  O}(a^2)$. For the fermions we use the staggered fermion formulation. On top
of that we add an improvement term which
restores the rotational symmetry of the free quark propagator on the lattice up
to order ${\cal O}(p^4)$ in the momentum \cite{Heller:1999xz}. In order to
improve the flavor symmetry, which is violated in the staggered fermion
formulation, we smear each link of the gauge field which is used in the
standard part of the fermion action by its surrounding three link staples
(p4fat3). The p4fat3 action was used for thermodynamical calculation earlier
\cite{Karsch:2000ps,Karsch:2000kv}, reports of the ongoing project
have been given by C.~Jung \cite{p4fat7_1} and M.~Cheng \cite{p4fat7_2}

We perform simulations with 2 light and one heavy quark flavor. The strange
quark mass is always fixed to the physical value, whereas the light quark mass
is varied in the range of $m_q=0.05m_s-0.4m_s$. The lattices have temporal extent
$N_t=4,6$, which corresponds at the critical temperature ($T_c$) to a lattice
spacing of $a\approx0.13$~fm and $0.22$~fm respectively. The lattice extent in
spacial direction is $N_s=8,16,32$. To determine the scale, we perform zero
temperature simulations on $16^3\times 32$ lattices. These calculations are
being performed on the QCDOC  computers at BNL and the APEnext
installation at the University of Bielefeld.

\section{Order Parameters and Susceptibilities}
Connected to chiral symmetry breaking is the chiral condensate. In the staggered
formulation of lattice QCD it is given by
\begin{eqnarray}
\left<\bar q q\right> &\equiv& \left.
\frac{{\rm}d}{{\rm d}m}\ln Z_{GC}(am, am_s, N_s, N_t, \beta)
\right|_{m=m_q}=N_s^{-3}N_t^{-1}\frac{1}{2}\left<{\rm Tr}M_{KS}^{-1}(m_q)\right> \quad ,\\
\left<\bar s s\right> &\equiv& \left.
\frac{{\rm}d}{{\rm d}m}\ln Z_{GC}(am_q, am, N_s, N_t, \beta)
\right|_{m=m_s}=N_s^{-3}N_t^{-1}\frac{1}{4}\left<{\rm Tr} M_{KS}^{-1}(m_s)\right> \quad ,
\end{eqnarray}
where $M_{KS}$ is the staggered fermion matrix. In the limit of vanishing quark
masses the chiral condensate is an exact order parameter of the spontaneous
chiral symmetry breaking. Its expectation value is non-zero below the critical
temperature ($T_c$) and zero above. At finite quark masses where the chiral
symmetry is explicitly broken, the chiral condensate still signals the
transition by a rapid change. In Fig.~\ref{fig:chiral} we show the expectation
value of the light quark chiral condensate ($\left<\bar q q \right>$) and
strange quark chiral condensate ($\left<\bar s s \right>$) as function of the
coupling $\beta$ (left) and its susceptibility
(right) on $N_t=4$ lattices.

\caption{The light quark and strange quark chiral condensate at (left)
  and its susceptibility (right) as a function of the
  coupling. The strange quark chiral condensate was multiplied with a factor 2
  for better visibility. Calculation have performed with various values of the
  light quark mass but fixed strange quark mass. Lattice sizes are
  $8^3\times 4$ and $16^3\times 4$.}\label{fig:chiral}
\end{figure}
Results on the chiral susceptibility on $N_t=6$ lattices are shown in
Fig.~\ref{fig:pot}(left). The results have been interpolated in the
coupling $\beta$ by using the multi-histogram re-weighting
technique \cite{Ferrenberg:1988yz}. Since the coupling controls the lattice
spacing $a$ it thus also controls the temperature, which is given by
$T=1/N_ta$. Large couplings $\beta$ corresponds to large temperatures $T$ and
small couplings to small temperatures. At the
coupling where the condensate shows the most drastic change, the
corresponding susceptibility peaks. We define the critical coupling
$\beta_c$ by the peak position of the chiral susceptibility. In
Fig.~\ref{fig:chiral}, we
compare results for different quark masses. The calculation with
$m_q=0.05m_s$ is roughly at the physical point. A clear
dependence of the critical coupling (critical temperature) on the quark
mass can be observed. The peak positions of
the light quark and strange quark susceptibilities do however coincide
within our statistical accuracy. Which indicates that chiral symmetry
restoration for light and strange quark occurs at the same
temperature. The strength of the transition
decreases with increasing quark masses, this is reflected in a
decreasing peak height of the susceptibilities.

In Fig.~\ref{fig:chiral} we also compare results form $8^3\times 4$ and
$16^3\times 4$ lattices. Since we see almost no volume dependence the
results suggest that the transition is in fact not a true phase
transition in the thermodynamic sense but a rapid crossover.

\section{Scale Setting and the Static Quark Potential}
On $16^3\times 32$ lattices we calculate the zero temperature static
quark potential for all quark mass values at their corresponding
critical couplings. The Sommer scale $r_0$ is defined as the distance
where the derivative of the potential take a certain value, to be
precise it is defined as
\begin{equation}
\left. r^2\frac{{\rm d}V}{{\rm d}r}\right|_{r=r_0}=1.65\quad .
\end{equation}
The Sommer scale is often used to set the scale in lattice
calculations, a phenomenological value is $r_0=0.5$~fm. In
Fig.~\ref{fig:pot} (right), we plot the static quark potential for
different quark masses and lattice spacing in units of the Sommer
\begin{figure}
\begin{minipage}{.48\textwidth}
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=.99\textwidth]{pbpsus_nt6_sewm_bw.eps}
\end{center}
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}{.48\textwidth}
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[height=.67\textwidth, width=.99\textwidth]{r0_scaled2p1.eps}
\end{center}
\end{minipage}
\caption{The light quark chiral susceptibility as a function of the
  coupling measured on $16^3\times 6$ lattices with three
  different light quark masses (left). The zero temperature static
  quark potential in units of the Sommer scale. Results for different
  light quark masses and lattice spacings are plotted seem to fall on one
  universal curve.}\label{fig:pot}
\end{figure}
since all results seem to fall on a universal curve, the static quark
potential shows almost no quark mass or cutoff dependence.
In order to remove short range lattice artifacts, we have used improved
distances $r_{imp}$ in the Coulombic part of the potential. For our choice of
the lattice action $r_{imp}$ is given by
\begin{equation}
\frac{1}{4\pi r_{imp}}\equiv \int\frac{d^3k}{(2\pi)^3}
\frac{e^{ikr}}{4\sum_i(\sin^2{\frac{k_i}{2}})
+\frac{1}{3}\sin^4{\frac{k_i}{2}}}\quad .
\end{equation}
To estimate the systematic uncertainties of our potential fits, we perform
various types of fits, e.g. different fit-ranges in r or different
fit-forms (3 \& 4 params. fits). In our future analysis, of the critical
temperature we will use the Sommer scale to convert our results form lattice
units to physical units.

\section{The Critical Temperature}
In Fig.~\ref{fig:tc} (left) we plot the critical coupling  as function
of the light quark mass. We find that $\Delta
\beta\equiv\beta_c(N_t=6)-\beta_c(N_t=4)=0.13-0.14$ is almost quark
mass independent. This independence if the cut-off effect from quark masses
holds in leading order also for the critical Temperature as can be seen in
Fig.~\ref{fig:tc} (right).

Here we show $T_c$ in units of the Sommer scale
as function of the pion mass $m_{PS}$ (also in units of the Sommer scale).
We perform a combined chiral and continuum extrapolation of $T_c$ by
using the ansatz
\begin{equation}
T_c r_0= \left[T_cr_0\right]^{\rm chiral}_{\rm cont}+b_1(m_\pi r_0)+b_2/N_t^2
\quad ,
\end{equation}
where $b_1$ and $b_2$ are free fit parameters. This extrapolation leads to
critical temperature in the chiral and continuum limit of $T_c\approx
185$~MeV. The linear extrapolation in quark mass is on the one hand suggested
by the data, on the other hand it is validated by the fact that one expects a
critical point in the chiral limit which is in the $O(4)$-universality class.
The leading order in the scaling behavior of the transition temperature is then
given by $T_c\sim (m_{PS})^{1.1}$, which is sufficiently close to a
linear scaling behavior.

Born in Columbus, Ohio, to Taiwanese American parents, Joey (IanJoe) Chang's early exposure to piano came from his older sister. He was soon drawn to the piano's sound for its "texture, color, and possibility." Featured as the solo artist at the second international festival of the Well Prepared Pianist Institute in 2006, Mr. Chang garnered awards as a solo pianist and as part of a piano team ensemble from local and international piano competitions, including Arizona Musicfest, Arizona Young Artists, Bradshaw & Buono International Piano Competition, and the Gina Bachauer Piano Team Competition.
Mr. Chang's passion for music further expands to composition appearing as a junior original composer in the U.S. National Concert of the Yamaha Education System at age 7. He has written music for solo piano and small ensembles. Mr. Chang is 13-years old and will enter the 9th grade at Peggy Payne Academy in Tempe, Arizona this fall. The Symphony Gala will mark Mr. Chang's first concerto performance.
Yinfei Wang, born in Shanghai, began his musical training at the age of four, and took top prizes at several national competitions at age seven. At seven, he gave his first public performance at the Shanghai Concert Hall. Mr. Wang won third prize in the 2005 Sandner Cross-Taiwan Straight Piano Competition, and the special award in the 2007 Shanghai Conservatory Piano Competition. He holds a Bachelor's degree from the Shanghai Conservatory of Music.

The United States President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) handed nutrition equipment valued at N$1 million to the Ministry of Health and Social Services at Windhoek's Maxuilili Clinic.
The equipment, which consists of 100 body weighing scales, 100 height-measuring boards, 50 food scales and 15,000 special measuring tapes to identify malnutrition were procured by USAID's Global Health Supply Chain Programme and will be distributed to health facilities.
The equipment will particularly benefit children, pregnant women and people living with HIV, including those who are co-infected with Tuberculosis.
About one year ago, local health facilities received through the programme a donation of therapeutic and supplementary food equivalent to about 6,000 patient-months of treatment, as well as support to integrate therapeutic and supplementary food in the country's pharmaceutical supply system.
PEPFAR is the largest commitment ever by a single nation toward an international health initiative – a comprehensive approach to combating HIV/AIDS around the world.
PEPFAR employs the most diverse prevention, treatment, and care strategy in the world, with an emphasis on transparency and accountability.
In the country PEPFAR is led by the U.S. Ambassador and programmed by an inter-agency management team chaired by the PEPFAR Coordinator that includes USAID, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and Peace Corps.

Q: Infinite sum with factorial I am learning about Poisson Random Variable and came across a problem with this infinite sum:
$\sum^{∞}_{n=2}\frac{e^{-2}(2)^i}{i!}$
The first step I do is move the constant $e^{-2}$ out.
$e^{-2} * (\sum^{∞}_{n=2}\frac{(2)^i}{i!})$
But I don't know what is the next step after this, I am trying to use this formula: $\frac{a}{1-r}$
I looked through my notes from class, but I can only find basic example that cover $\sum^{∞}_{n=1} 2x$. In the this case, what would be the ratio?

A: It will certainly help to know that
$$ e^x=\sum_{i=0}^\infty \frac{x^i}{i!}$$
Just fill in $x=2$ and work from there!
The equality I use is called the taylor series at $0$ or the maclaurin series of $e^x$. It's not hard to derive.

A: Using the series expansion for the exponential function,
$$e^{x} = \sum_{r=0}^{\infty} \frac{x^{r}}{r!},$$
then by subtracting the first two terms from both sides:
$$\sum_{r=2}^{\infty} \frac{x^{r}}{r!} = e^{x} - 1 - x.$$
Now,
\begin{align}
\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \frac{e^{-2} \, 2^{n}}{n!} &= e^{-2} \, \left(e^{2} - 1 - 2 \right) \\
&= 1 - 3 \, e^{-2}.
\end{align}


I hope we all are thankful today. Every one of us, no matter our circumstances, should have something to be thankful for. Family, friends, career, or just being alive…we should be thankful. I've often heard it said that we should have an attitude of gratitude, and I believe that to be true. Grousing about what you don't have or haven't gotten only means that you are overlooking the things that you do have and enjoy.
For me, I am thankful for my family-for their love, their prayers, their concern over my well-being. I am blessed and thankful to have you looking out for me. Those that are here with me now and those that helped me along to get where I am. If you don't know, I aim to let you know how much you mean to me.
I am thankful for my friends-those in the flesh and those in the digital space-for the laughter, for the entertainment, for the statements that make me think. Since I started blogging in 2007, I have met so many interesting people in and around the internet and through social media. And my friends here locally have been a big source of encouragement and support through the ups and downs of life.
I am thankful for my job and my co-workers-working together makes it happen. It also helps when you all get along. There has been some upheaval and rocky times through my time at the day job, but we keep grinding day after day. We strive to provide excellent customer service to the taxpayers of our county, and to our fellow employees in other departments, and we succeed more often than not.
I am thankful for the soldiers who are giving their lives and serving so that we can enjoy our freedom. And for the veterans who performed their service so that we have arrived where we are. I know we have Veterans Day and Memorial Day, but every day we should remember those who serve. To my nephew serving in the U.S. Navy, thank you for your service, and hope to see you soon.
I am thankful for sports-the real life reality show. You never know what you're gonna get, but win or lose often it is a source of joy. Whether it be baseball, basketball, football or soccer, I enjoy them all. I am also happy to see many women get more opportunities to talk about the games that they love, rather than just existing as sideline reporters. There's still a ways to go, and some Neanderthal commentary from those trolls with keyboard courage probably makes the job a little harder, but keep fighting ladies.
I am thankful for music-for the feelings, the memories, the emotions. Even on my worst day, I can always find a song or songs to bring me up. There isn't a day that goes by that I'm not listening to some music, somewhere. Whether it be satellite radio, a streaming service, or an old CD I put on to reminisce to, it is always a source of joy, as is finding new music to create new memories with.
I am thankful that we live in a time where technology has advanced so much, seemingly within the blink of an eye. From my high school days learning on old Apple II computers with the large floppy disks, to personal portable laptops, workbooks and tablets, to smartphones that can do just about anything a computer could do not all that long ago, technology has advanced rapidly. If the saying is "may you live in interesting times," technological advances over the last 20-30 years have made these years one heck of an interesting time.
I am thankful for our Lord, who watches over me and mine. Thankful that although I haven't always been as good to Him as I should be, he has always been good to me.
If you should happen to read this, put your name here ___________________ and accept my thanks to you. Thanks again to those of you who read, comment and enjoy the tunes and my writing here.

The possession of marijuana has long been a criminal offense across the country. But on January 1, 2018, California legalized the possession (by those over 21) and sale of up to one ounce of marijuana for recreational purposes. However, this legalization of marijuana has no effect on the state's laws regarding driving a vehicle while impaired by marijuana — or, as it is often called, "driving under the influence of marijuana", "driving with a marijuana high" or "driving stoned".
Driving under the influence of any drug is a crime. This includes not only illegal narcotics, but also prescription medication, prescribed marijuana, and on some occasions, even over the counter medications. The crime is often referred to as DUI drugs, DUID, drugged driving, driving under the influence of marijuana or any combination of drugs.
Driving both under the influence of drugs and driving under the influence of alcohol are very similar. It affects your nervous system in a way where you are impaired and you are in an altered state of consciousness. However, there are significant differences between the two offenses when being charged.
California Vehicle Code section 23152(a) & (b) state that it is illegal to drive under the influence of alcohol, and to drive with a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or more. California law does not specifically prescribe a prohibition on the amount of a given drug. Whether it be a prescription medication, marijuana, or controlled substance, California law does not actually prohibit a certain amount of a given drug in a person's system. Rather, the law simply prohibits a person from "driving under the influence" of a drug. In order for a person to be considered "driving under the influence" of a drug, it must have such an effect on a person so that their mental or physical abilities are so impaired that he or she is no longer able to drive a vehicle with the caution of a sober person, using ordinary care, under similar circumstances.
Often times individuals who are suspected of DUID are put through the same or similar tests as are driver's suspected of alcohol DUI. On most occasions, however, a "drug recognition expert" known as a "DRE" is usually called into the case when drugs are involved to examine the individual in question. A DRE is supposed to have special training related to identifying the symptomology of different types of drug use, and he/she can testify to the symptoms and effects of drugs or marijuana, and determine if the person is impaired in their opinion.
Important: A driver can be using marijuana or medication legally with a physician prescription, and yet if he or she is legally impaired, they can be charged with driving under the influence drugs according to CVC 23152(f). In fact, there are circumstances where sometimes over the counter products and medications, such as Benadryl or Nyquil, can be alleged to have caused a person to be "driving under the influence of a drug".
The chemical testing between DUI drugs and alcohol-related DUI also has some differences. Whereas law enforcement has the capability of testing for a person's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) through the use of a breath test, such a test will not show the presence of marijuana or drugs (at this point – although technology and laws are quickly advancing). Consequently, testing for drugs has to be administered by taking a blood test.
Driving is usually proven through the testimony of the officer who observed the driving. However, in cases where the officer was not present, such as where there has been an accident or the car is parked, the driving element may be established through the testimony of passengers, witnesses, statements of the defendant, or — in some cases — through circumstantial evidence. This circumstantial evidence of driving under the influence of marijuana can consist of testimony that, for example, the defendant was seen behind the wheel of the parked car, the engine was warm, the keys were in the defendant's pocket, etc. Circumstantial evidence is, of course, usually more susceptible to reasonable doubt in court than is direct evidence.
The second element in a marijuana DUI case — the defendant was under the influence of marijuana while he was driving — requires proof of impairment, This is legally defined as being impaired to such an extent that he lacked the "ability to drive with the caution characteristic of a sober person of ordinary prudence under the same or similar circumstances." This is, of course, a notoriously vague and subjective standard of proof.
Does marijuana in fact cause impairment of driving ability? There is substantial evidence that it does not. A review conducted in 2002 of seven separate studies of over 7,000 drivers involved in auto accidents concluded that, "Crash culpability studies have failed to demonstrate that drivers with cannabinoids in the blood are significantly more likely than drug-free drivers to be culpable in road crashes".
Two separate studies conducted by the U.S. Department of Transportation have reached similar conclusions. In one, researchers concluded that "although alcohol was found consistently and significantly to cause impairment, marijuana had only an occasional effect". In the other study, researchers found that "THC is not a profoundly impairing drug…It apparently affects controlled information processing in a variety of laboratory tests, but not to the extent which is beyond the individual's ability to control when he is motivated and permitted to so so in driving." See "Does Marijuana Affect Driving Ability?"
The usual means of poving the required degree of impairment in a DUI marijuana case is through (1) such observations by the investigating officer as erratic driving, physical appearance, mental acuity, field sobriety tests, the presence of marijuana or paraphernalia in the car, and incriminating statements, and (2) analysis of the driver's blood for THC (Tetrahedroncannabinol).
An increasingly common practice in DUI marijuana investigations is to call in a "drug recognition expert", also called a "drug recognition evaluator" (DRE) — at the scene of the investigation or later at the police station or medical facility. This is an officer who has gone through a training program, originally created by the Los Angeles Police Department in the 1970s and later adopted by state and federal law enforecment agencies nationwide. The program involves the use of a standardized DRE drug impairment protocol of observations and tests for the recognition of drug influence and impairment, including impariment caused by marijuana. The protocols have, however, been the subject of criticism, and the training, skills and abilities of individual DREs vary widely. In the end, the test is necessarily somewhat subjective and dependent upon the training, experience and accuracy of the officer.
A driver who is arrested for driving under the influence is required by law to submit to breath or blood testing; refusal to do so can be punished by an increased jail term and a longer license suspension. Since marijuana cannot be detected on a breathalyzer, drivers suspected of DUI marijuana are required to submit to having a sample of blood drawn. The blood is then later tested by a laboratory for the presence of THC.
There are, however, periodic attempts to develop and use roadside tests for marijuana, just as hand-held breath alcohol tests were developed in recent years. The most recent of these DUI marijuana roadside tests have involved the investigating officer taking a swab of saliva from the driver's mouth, and then using a device at the scene of the investigation to analyze the saliva for THC. And there are recurrent attempts to enact legislation in Sacramento to authorize this procedure. To date, these attempts have been unsuccessful. See, for example, "Roadside Oral Swab Tests Coming?"
The problem with testing the blood for marijuana or saliva, however, is simple: analysis can only determine the presence of THC in the blood — it cannot determine either (1) when it was consumed, or (2) whether the amount would have caused any impairment. Inactive elements of marijuana can stay in a person's blood for days, even weeks — long past when it could have any effects on the driver. And it has never been conclusively clearly established how much marijuana can cause driving impairment — if it causes any impairment at all.
In other words, it is difficult to establish any connection between the THC in the blood sample and the degree of driving impairment (if any).
The defendant was not driving.
The defendant did not use marijuana.
The defendant used marijuana but was not impaired at the time of driving.


Since years, the policy of TranzCom has been to work in rigorous respect for the environmental norms, and to minimize the impact of our activities on the environment. This policy has been translated in a proactive approach with measures like waste recycling, providing season tickets to employers using Public Transport, and taking in account carbon emissions in the choice of company vehicles.
At present, we decided to structure those measures in a plan for reduction of our carbon emissions within the frame of the "Carbon Performance Scale" certification.
This certification allows to objectively measure the progress made, and will be a useful instrument attesting the responsibility we want to take in this matter.
The declaration of the Management setting the objectives for carbon reduction is enclosed in attachment. The goal is to reduce the carbon emission with 35%, taking 2012 as reference year.
Each employer of the company is invited to contribute actively to this carbon reduction plan by submitting regularly new ideas and propositions making it possible to reach the objectives. TranzCom also wishes to involve her suppliers and partners, urging them to act likewise.
Finally, TranzCom is committed to bring this theme forward in the working groups and corporations where she's represented (Agoria, BECI, VOKA, UWE,…) in order to contribute with the whole sector to a substantial reduction of carbon emissions.


A temporal and spatial study of malaria transmission in a suburban area of Maputo, Mozambique with a mean population density of 2,737/km2 was made from December 1992 to June 1995. A steep but continuous gradient was observed in the Plasmodium falciparum prevalence from 59.0% adjacent to the breeding sites to 5.4% only a few hundred meters distant. The entomologic inoculation rate ranged from a number too low to be determined in some districts to 20 infectious bites per person per year in the others. The risk of malaria was 6.2 times higher for individuals living less than 200 meters from the breeding sites than for individuals living 500 meters or more away from the breeding sites. In areas of high human density, mosquito and parasite dispersion is very limited, and therefore malaria control strategies could be more specifically targeted.

Q: Using project() for dependent CMake subdirectories I have several projects consisting of a few libraries, each living in its own subdirectory, knitted together by the topmost CMakeLists.txt file. I am in the habit of using project(<DIRNAME>) at the top of each CMakeLists.txt file and I try to structure the subprojects in such a way that they could be compiled separately from the top project. However, while this might make sense for standalone, core libraries, it cannot work for the libraries that depend on them because I need to do stuff like
target_link_libraries(gui core)

And core will nor be defined if I am trying to compile gui as a standalone project.
Is it wrong to use project() in this context, or am I missing something?

A: A Matter of Taste
This is in my opinion mainly a matter of taste. I don't think multiple project() commands itself are a problem, its more that projects I have seen using this approach tend to repeat itself in other parts and sometimes are running into problems with global cached variables.
Depending Libraries
The more relevant fact is, that the depending libraries will also add an include dependencies.
For standalone static library targets - not executable or shared library targets who really link the library - the simple target_link_libraries() command could be ignored with something like:
if (TARGET core)
    target_link_libraries(gui core)
endif()

But the header files include dependency remains.
Standalone Projects in CMake
For me a (sub-)project to be really standalone needs not only the project() command, but it should also have a export(TARGETS ...) command. Then you could e.g. use find_package() commands to resolve any open dependencies with something like:
if (NOT TARGET core)
    find_package(core REQUIRED)
endif()
target_link_libraries(gui core)

What is GEF?
Milton Chen
Senior Fellow, The George Lucas Educational Foundation
Dr. Chen is executive director of The George Lucas Educational Foundation (GLEF), a nonprofit operating foundation that utilizes media, especially its multimedia website Edutopia.org, award-winning magazine, Edutopia: The New World of Learning, and documentary films, to communicate a new vision for 21st century schools. Prior to joining GLEF in 1998, Milton was the founding director of the KQED Center for Education (PBS) in San Francisco, managing KQED's TV programming, web content, and outreach services for schools and families.
He has been a director of research at Sesame Workshop, working on Sesame Street, The Electric Company, and 3-2-1 Contact, and an assistant professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. He chairs the advisory council for the Fred Rogers Center for Early Learning and Children's Media at St. Vincent College in Pennsylvania and is a trustee of the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, devoted to environmental stewardship.
His work has been honored by the Congressional Black Caucus, and he has received the Elmo Award from Sesame Workshop and the Fred Rogers Award from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. In 2007-08, he joined a group of 35 Fulbright New Century Scholars working on innovation, access, and diversity issues in education, spending three months in the United Kingdom at University of Edinburgh. Milton received an A.B. in Social Studies from Harvard College and a Ph.D. in Communication Research from Stanford University. Perhaps most importantly, on his 50th birthday, he was named a Jedi Master by George Lucas.
