Producing for Latin America
The growing international reach of British programme makers is nowhere better illustrated than in a Spanish language documentary series made specifically for Latin American audiences called Misterios de la Fe – which is produced in London by UK indie Wag TV.
Commissioned by Discovery Latin America, Misterios de La Fe is a kind of Miracle CSI. The 8×1-hour series follows a Mexican Jesuit priest and female journalist as they investigate the truth behind some of Latin America's most intriguing miracles.
So why is a British indie, rather than a Latin American outfit, making such a series? The show's exec producer, Jon Stephens (pictured), says: "The reason they came to us was because we have a reptuation internationally for factual programmes and great storytelling."
Stephens adds that Latin America is a fast growing, highly competitive market with lots of channels fighting for an audience. "So they need their shows to have compelling stories and formats that stand out and keep viewers hooked."
Citing Wag's long-running Discovery series How Did They Do It?, Stephens points out that the indie also has plenty of experience of producing shows for global audiences. Wag could refer to this international reach when it pitched the idea for Misterios to Discovery Latin America, based in Miami.
Discovery liked the concept, so Wag set about casting for the series in Latin America. After a long search, two Mexican lead presenters were found and flown over to the UK for a week of workshops. "Investing early on in the presenters paid dividends in the long term," says Stephens.
Wag then sourced key crew – APs, producers and directors – in the UK. But they had to be able to speak Spanish, and Discovery insisted on checking that they could. Recruiting a Spanish speaking crew was one of the hardest tasks making the show, says Stephens. "I think I've met every Spanish speaking director in the UK."
The British crew were then paired with local production teams to shoot the stories in Mexico, Argentina, Columbia and Brazil. All the rushes came back to the UK, where they were cut by Spanish speaking editors in Wag's London office.
A single Mexican cameraman worked on the series, to give it a unifying, aspirational visual style. A key lesson, says Stephens, is that one of the last things Latin American audiences want to see is the "aesthetic of distress" so beloved by Western travellers. "That is not how Latin Americans see themselves – in fact, they are arguably more aspirational than people in the West." Since Misterios, Wag continues to make content for Latin America.

Using Instagram Ads for Higher Education: A How-to for Schools
Date posted: July 11, 2018
As of June 2018, Instagram has over 1 billion monthly active users. In the last year alone, over 300 million people have joined, close to the total numbers of close rivals Snapchat and Twitter. For a site that is less than 10 years old, the social network's growth has been simply phenomenal.
What's more, Instagram's user base is young, international, and often very willing to engage with brands online, making it ideal for education institutions looking to increase online visibility. In addition to maintaining a regular presence on the site, advertising on the platform can be an extremely effective way to reach this highly coveted online audience.
While Instagram ads can be created in conjunction with Facebook campaigns through Facebook Ads Manager, it can be worth considering your campaign strategy on the site in isolation from its parent company. Here's a quick overview of the unique aspects of advertising on Instagram.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Instagram Ads for Higher Education
It's important to note that as Instagram's popularity has grown, its audience has become more diverse. While the vast majority of the site's visitors are still under 35, around 28 percent now fall into older age brackets, with healthy numbers across several age groups:
Source: Statista
This means that even schools targeting older students can get plenty of joy through Instagram ads, while the site's fairly even male/female split means that you will be likely to find an audience for whatever specific programs you are looking to promote.
Instagram also enjoys excellent penetration across a number of different markets and regions across the world, including top education hubs like the UK, Australia, and the USA, and key international student markets like Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Turkey:
Statistics have also suggested that Instagram audiences are very brand-friendly. The site's own research claims that ad recall among its users is an average of 2.8 times higher than other social media platforms, while an independent study conducted by marketing company Zine found that 80% of respondents considered Instagram to be the primary social platform they used for brand collaboration:
Source: Zine
On the downside, Instagram's growth has been something of a double-edged sword for schools. While early adopters found great success on the site, its increasing popularity has created a lot more competition for user attention and engagement. While your ads might be shown to the audience you want, the sheer volume of other posts competing for their attention can make it easy to get lost in the shuffle.
Another negative about Instagram ads for higher education is their cost. Schools will notice that the average bid required to place an ad on Instagram is generally significantly higher than on Facebook, and institutions with restrictive budgets may need to limit their placement on the site to ensure their campaigns are cost-effective.
Instagram Feed Ads: What Formats are Available for Schools?
Schools looking to advertise in Instagram feeds can do so in four different formats, all of which can be created through Facebook Ads Manager. While the ad types supported on Instagram are also all available on Facebook, there are a number of differences in the technical specifications allowed on each site which you should be mindful of, particularly if you are looking to run the same ad set on both platforms. Here's a brief overview of what is available on Instagram, and how the formats differ from Facebook:
Single Image and Video Ads
The most straightforward options offered on Instagram, these ads contain either an image, video or gif file. While the image specs are the same for both Facebook and Instagram, the maximum length of videos on the latter is much shorter – videos can be no more than 60 seconds long on Instagram, whereas Facebook allows up to 120 minutes.
Both image and video ads are capable of achieving great results on Instagram depending on which is a more suitable option for your needs. Schools looking to create videos should work to ensure that their clips are professional and high quality, as Instagram users are accustomed to visually appealing work. It may also be worth including captions in your videos, as many users will view ads on the site with the sound turned off.
Example: A sample snapshot of a video ad for Geneva Business School.
Both image and video ads can include a CTA linking to your website, a landing page, or a social media page, and you can choose from a list of predetermined options, including Apply Now, Contact Us, and Call Now, all of which could be useful for your school's objectives. It should be noted, however, that image ads support a few more options than videos, including a Get Directions CTA, which might be useful for an institution looking to target local prospects or advertise an event like an open house or tour.
Carousel and Slideshow Ads
If you're looking to really make your ads stand out, the mixed media formats Instagram offers might be your best bet. The popular Carousel format allows you to select two or more different images or videos and assemble them into a scrollable slideshow within the same ad. Each video can be up to 60 seconds in length, and it is possible to combine photos and video within the same carousel.
This format can be especially useful for schools looking to promote multiple course options in a single ad, or just showcase different sides of their school. Keep in mind though, that you can only select one CTA which will appear on each card.
Example: This sample Carousel Ad was developed by the University of Rhode Island for its fall recruitment campaign in 2016. Note how they strive to make each slide different, offering something new for prospective students every time.
Source: URI Today
Slideshow Ads, meanwhile, allow you to combine up to 10 images into a video montage, and set it to music. Keep in mind, though, that you must have the necessary rights to use any copyrighted material, although Facebook Ads Manager does provide a selection of licensed background music you can use. A slideshow can be also incorporated into a Carousel Ad as a single video, giving your school even more creative possibilities.
All Instagram ad formats offer the option of including text under your image or video. This can be up to 2,200 characters long, although it's worth bearing in mind that the limit for Facebook ads is only 125 characters, meaning you will need to keep within that if you want the option of running the same ad on both sites.
It's also important to remember that the Headline and Link Description text which appear in Facebook ads do not apply to Instagram. Even though you will be prompted to fill them in when creating your ad, they will not be displayed on the site, meaning it's important to ensure your description text includes all the necessary information you want to convey.
Example: A Facebook Ad for Discovery Community College with the headline and link description highlighted. These elements do not appear in Instagram ads.
Why Stories Ads Should be a Part of Your School's Instagram Marketing Strategy
Since its introduction in mid-2016, the Stories feature has become an integral part of many higher education Instagram marketing strategies. The bite-sized, ephemeral highlight reels of photo, video, and text content now command the attention of over 400 million daily users, playing a huge role in the site's growth.
However, while many schools make use of Stories, the potential for Stories Ads, which were introduced in March 2017, is still somewhat unexplored in the sector. Stories Ads play in between ordinary Stories when they are being viewed, and are available in both video and photo formats. Videos can last up to 15 seconds, while images will appear on screen for up to 5 seconds. Both formats can include a CTA. Here is an example of what a video Stories Ad looks like:
Source: Instagram
Recently, the site also introduced its Carousel format to the feature. Carousel ads allow for up to 3 cards, which can be either images or video. Each card will play for 5 to 15 seconds depending on its format. Like ordinary Carousel Ads, only one CTA can be used throughout the entire ad.
When creating Stories ads, it's important to try and match the aesthetic users have come to expect from the feature. Ordinary Instagram Stories tend to be more candid and less polished than other posts on the site, and use images that often incorporate text, filters and graphics. Since your ad will be playing in between other Stories, it's best to make sure it blends in. If you're already using the feature for posts, adapting some of your more successful Stories into ads might be a good place to start.
Example: This Story from Duke University promoting summer dance classes is the kind of content that could serve as a good basis for a Stories Ad.
Having said that, it should be noted that the text, filter and effect options available for ordinary Instagram Stories are not accessible through Ads Manager, so you will need to put them in place manually prior to uploading your ad file.
The unique advantage offered by advertising through Instagram Stories over the site's other options is how immersive the format is. When played, a Stories Ad occupies the full screen of a device, with no other distractions to divert the user's attention away from your offer.
This has the potential to drastically increase your chances of enticing prospects to convert. An independent experiment conducted by social media marketing company Agora Pulse showed that stories ads had a 23% higher conversion rate than the site's Feed ads:
Source: Agora Pulse
Surprisingly, Stories Ads were also shown to be somewhat cheaper, and reached 44% more users. These kind of metrics show that the format has plenty of promise for schools.
The downside is that the ads can be skipped by users, meaning schools need to work hard to capture and retain their attention. A Stories Ad also cannot be retrieved or recalled after it has been played, which means that prospective students do not have the option to return to your ad and convert later.
How much value Stories ads have for your school will depend largely on the audience it serves. More than half of Instagram Stories users are in the 18-29 age range, meaning schools targeting younger audiences are more likely to see good results. Users are also 68% female, which may have an impact on your targeting efforts.
Choosing the Right Targeting and Campaign Options for Your Ads
One of the biggest advantages of Instagram being owned by Facebook is that it means advertisers on the platform have access to Facebook Ads Manager's full range of targeting options, which are arguably the most comprehensive on the web. Using the vast amounts of information gathered about users on both platforms, Ads Manager allows you to accurately target campaigns based on:
Location (by region, country, state, city, postal code or address)
Demographics (including education, employment, and lifestyle)
Interests (based on activities on Facebook and Instagram)
Behaviours (including device usage, purchasing habits, and travel)
You can also use the Custom Audiences tool to create remarketing campaigns on the platform, and Lookalike Audiences to replicate the success of previous campaigns. Your Instagram ads can also be used for a wide range of different objectives, including lead generation and conversions, as well as more awareness-focused campaigns to increase reach, brand awareness, web traffic, social engagement and video views. It should be noted, however, that advertisers using Stories Ads have a slightly more limited range of objectives to choose from, with only five currently available – Reach, Traffic, Conversions, Video Views, and App Installs.
When selecting where your ads will be shown, you can choose either to select their placement manually, or to have Ads Manager automatically select your placement:
Source: AdEspresso
The automatic placement option will show your ads where Facebook estimates they are likely to perform best, including Instagram, Facebook, and other apps such as Messenger. This may be less than optimal if you are specifically looking to increase your visibility on Instagram, but has been shown to get very good results. Dividing your ads across platforms can also help to mitigate the slightly higher cost of advertising on Instagram, allowing you to make more of your budget. However, it is not an option for Stories Ads, which need to be selected manually.
Measuring the Success of Your School's Instagram Ad Campaigns
Like all of your paid advertising initiatives, the key to achieving success with Instagram ads is to continuously monitor your campaigns and optimize them for maximum performance. Facebook Ads Manager's reporting tools offer a range of helpful metrics that will give you actionable insights for this process, including data on your ad cost, reach, and performance in relation to your targeted objectives for individual ads, ad sets, and overall campaigns. Using these KPIs, you can work to continuously adjust your budget, placements, and creative in order to improve performance.
With the platform's user base increasing and organic reach harder and harder to achieve, advertising is becoming an increasingly essential component of Instagram marketing strategies for higher education. By following the guidelines set out in this piece, and keeping in mind the unique needs of your school and its online audience, your school will be on the right track to doing it properly.

Four Sisters
Across America, approximately 80% of people or 260.6 million people have at least one brother or sister. Nearly 65 million males have at least one sister. Having four sisters is a divine blessing, and through each of them, my perspective in the cannabis world becomes individually unique.
I've smoked them up, "gifted" them, and I will continue to do so until we grow old. They've influenced my path towards pursuing this marijuana venture! Keeping the family tradition alive, now is the time to take action on investing in the family. How can we invest in our families' future? A short answer, real estate, and entrepreneurship.
This summer, I met a millionaire investor who specializes in the analysis of profit margins, and he carries this skill into property development and construction trades. We will refer to my millionaire investor plug as Gavin for this post. Gavin started his professional career as an entrepreneur, starting and selling a software company in his 20s. Gavin and his sister own and manage over 100 million dollars worth of property on the campus of an Ivy League College in New England. Construction and Multi-Million dollar property is his side hustle. Gavin is still working fulltime in the tech market as an executive, reviewing company profit margins and structuring deals.
A few weeks before meeting Gavin, my youngest sister asked for a couple of hundred bucks to start an eyelash extension business. More recently, my sister texts me, "I want to get more money to open a beauty bar." I'm happy to say her business is profitable, and she has the opportunity to run the business fulltime from our parent's basement. Shout out to Lash Trap by Faith!
Not long after desegregation laws took place in the 1970s, President Richard Nixon introduced harsh drug laws that target young men of color that have a residual impact today.
My father was six-years-old, living in the south when Nixon took office. Nine years later, from 1980-1990, my father had an epic decade run at life. At 15, he had my oldest sister in 1980, followed by two more sisters in 1984 and 1986 and the only boy in 1988. In a decade, he had four children by three different women and developed a cocaine habit, which wasn't uncommon in the black community during the war on drugs.
After my birth, he kicked the drug habit, got married to my mom, started a job with the union, and found his faith in God. Although two of my older sisters are half-sisters, sharing the same father, he raised us all with love and support, plus we all similar facial features! During those ten years, from age 15-to-25, my father became a man.
Today, he is a charismatic man that has a love for my sisters and me (and grandkids), my mother, his work, and the church, which he heads. While in his 30s, my father started a business and became an ordained preacher and fathered my youngest sister. Although he is a preacher, he was never overly demanding with religion norms in our household. I think it is because his life was heading in a much different direction compared to his children. At age-17, my dad was running the streets with cocaine, moving from the South to up North. And me at age-17 I was switching states, on my way to college with a few ounces of marijuana, smoking weed in driveways with my sisters and friends.
My four sisters have made me a better person. For any organization, women in leadership roles are more powerful than ever. Major Bloom's, co-founder, Laury Lucien, is the oldest of four sisters.
Every moment of having four sisters has helped guide me towards starting Major Bloom with such an influential person. Laury and I have the same values when it comes to family. Our goals are to improve communities impacted by the war on drugs. Born in Boston, MA, but raised in Hati, her community extends towards a global perspective. She is a community leader, a lawyer, a martial arts instructor, and an educator. After business, Laury has an aspiration to get into politics, and it's my will to support her to get there.
I want to support Laury in politics the same way, I want to support my little sister's beauty expansion. In my professional career, I've worked for and alongside some spectacular women. Still, nothing compares to building a marijuana business with an individual who has the potential to become President of the United States. Our current president is a real estate mogul, with a brash mainstream media persona. I can imagine a tech or marijuana mogul running for President in the upcoming years. Our tech or cannabis inclined president has a large likelihood of having a sibling.
Did their siblings know back when they were hotboxing in the driveway, that the same activity which was once frowned upon in society, now catapulted influence and social change? Family time, smoking weed with your siblings is like a family therapy session giving you all perspectives on what's going in the world.

Illegal Guns to Include ALL Guns!
So, although the title may reflect the aims of the group, it hides the fact that they intend to move the goalposts. "Illegal guns", if Bloomberg gets his way, will include ALL guns. Just as happened in Australia, where citizen guns were confiscated, they want to repeat the same exercise in the US.
Armed with this knowledge can we expect to see white smoke rising from the top of City Hall in Sunbury, to herald the announcement of a new policy for Persing – that he will respect the rights of Sunbury citizens by joining the growing exodus from this discredited organization?
If Persing does not immediately resign from "Mayors Against Illegal Guns", we can only presume that he enthusiastically supports Bloomberg's hidden agenda and that of President Obama – to trample on the Second Amendment and remove from Americans in general and Sunburians in particular their rights to gun ownership, their only real defense against future tyranny.
People of Sunbury, you have been warned!

"But really, what would that prove?" Good investigations are always about asking the right question and that is one of the best, Cameron. Another part is knowing the players, in this case, very public officials under a great deal of stress. Let me offer, on a not so dramatic scale but applicable nonetheless, a modern day reference point since many would agree that, fundamentally, we are not that different over the thousands of years. Having worked in public service for over two decades and having participated in numerous high profile events there have been a number of instances of authority figures making such random and even nonsensical requests, orders, and demands that what was asked of Pilate makes sense seen in that light. Many times have I seen people tasked with pointless tasks because someone just doesn't seem to feel a situation is handled until they order something, no matter how pointless or irrelevant to the task. It was usually under the thought of "…just in case…" but no one could ever answer in case of what? Is it possible that the authority figures, understanding the basic authority of a seal, attributed a power to it unwarranted by the facts but emphasized by their stress and desperate need to continue to control the situation so much that, at the moment of panic, it seemed like the perfect idea to resolve the matter once and for all. And, as you noted, it backfired. Oh, yeah, in modern day, those panicky ideas always did, as well. What we may have recorded is panic with the only calm person being the Roman administrator, a known ruthless man, who I always thought was just trying to ride out the situation and may even have been impressed by the gravitas of the crucified man.
Imagine that…the Bible could actually give us an example of unthinking bureaucracy! Their idea of "securing" the tomb never burst the boundaries of their own procedures manual. But yes, if nothing else, it can give us the illusion of control.
Good observation, and as you concluded: God had a say in the matter. In so doing, He validated and helped preserve the integrity of this story for the historical record.

Today, the recruitment process has changed and created changes in employee engagement. Employee engagement in onboarding is very important to retain the employees and keep them enthusiastic. If the employees work progress is high, there will be a great profit in the businesses. The companies must be able to satisfy the needs of the future generation with the adoption of changes in employee engagement. Onboarding programs can last up to one year for a new employee.
New employees are always excited to get started and quickly intend to show their value and don't want to be distracted by administrative tasks. All these tasks simplification must be planned earlier by the organization. The demonstration of the workflow must be given to the new employees by guiding them where they need to invest their time and focus. They get clear, personalized information through new announcements about the work. The company should ensure that the employees are aligned with the culture, mission, and values of an organization from day one.
Assigning a mentor for new employees is a necessary task for the management. Mentors are beneficial to help the new employees to understand the organization's culture and standards quickly, and act according to the nature of the job. A mentor can help an employee become more conventional and active in his current role.
The transition from a candidate to an employee can be made easier if the company has planned the complete employee engagement process earlier. The company must start the engagement process after the employee receives the offer letter. Also, the company must conduct interactive onboarding activities that encourage feedback and make them comfortable with their team members.
The manager-employee relationship plays an important role in the growth of the company. The employees must be informed about never having to wait to reach out to their manager in regards to new ideas. The consistent feedback to the employees by the mentors can also enhance the skills of the employees. A proper onboarding program may lead to creating a successful employee experience. Organizations that provide a structured onboarding process with mentoring support avoid losing their greatest assets.


Set back from the main shopping street, this centrally located holiday rental is ideal for those looking to be within walking distance of everything. Well-equipped throughout, it's the perfect base for a relaxing break.
1st floor of a traditional Niҫois building with lift. The lift can fit two people, however we do not think it will fit most unfolded pushchairs and wheelchairs. There are 26 steps up to the apartment. Please note that there is a step between each of the rooms in this apartment.
Rue Russie is just behind the cinema on Avenue Jean Médecin. There is a very large supermarket and plenty of shops and restaurants within a few minutes' walk. A bakery is less than a minute away, as is the tram.
The train station and Old Town can be reached in under five minutes on the tram or in 10 minutes on foot. An easy stroll of 15 minutes will also get you to the beach and Promenade. This really is a great apartment as a base to explore the Côte d'Azur using the excellent public transport network.
The open plan living area is light and airy thanks to a floor-to-ceiling window at one end of the room. There is attractive wooden flooring throughout, and the red and black colour scheme adds real warmth.
The sofa and armchair will provide a welcome place to relax after days spent out and about in Nice, and for entertainment there is a 32" LCD screen as well as a DVD player. The dining table, with its high-back chairs, offers plenty of space for four to dine in.
The kitchen, with its light wood units and granite worktop, is fantastically well-equipped. It comprises a four-ring ceramic hob, oven, fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine, and comes with all the utensils guests could need to cook with the tasty local produce.
The bedrooms are delightfully quiet as they are at the back of the property. Similar in size, one bedroom is equipped with a king size bed and the other a double bed. The king size bedroom has bedside tables with reading lamps, and both bedrooms have cupboards for storing all your belongings. They also feature more of the apartment's tasteful wooden flooring.
We are afraid you will struggle to put a baby cot in the bedroom, although the living room has ample room.
The bathroom is fully-tiled and comes complete with a large walk-in shower, wash basin with mirror, heated towel rail.
There is a separate WC beside the bedrooms.
Taxi ranks are easily found at all terminals and once inside will take around 25 minutes to reach your apartment in Nice Muscien's area. The 99 express Airport shuttle bus is easy, cheap and convenient and just 6€. It runs every half hour during the day, with less frequent service in the evenings and early mornings. Buses operate until 9pm (21:00). If you take the bus, we will meet you at the bus stop Gare SNCF, just North of the Musicien's area. It is then a 10 minute walk to your apartment. Visit our transport page for more information, routes and timetables. If you are coming to Nice from somewhere else in France, we recommend you take an SNCF train to Gare Nice Ville. From there, the tram provides a cheap, convenient way to get to your apartment. When you leave the Gare, turn left and follow Avenue Thiers, until you come to Avenue Jean Medecin. The trams come every five minutes and tickets cost 1.50€. Take the tram just one stop down the tram line, less than a two minute journey, and get off at Jean Medecin. We can meet you at the tram stop or outside the apartment building, as you prefer. There is no need for a taxi – we doubt a driver would be willing to accept the fare for such a short trip. See our transport page for more info. Driving in Nice can be a challenge. We strongly advise GPS or a very good map. A nearby car park in the Musiciens area is Parking Nice Etoile on Rue Deudon which is approximately a five minute walk away from the Sienne apartment. Parking Louvre at 20 Boulevard Victor Hugo is another option for parking near to the apartment and requires a walk of about four minutes. We will send you a GPS reference and full address with your arrival details. Unfortunately, you can expect to pay up to 30€ a day for parking in central locations. We can meet you at the car park or outside the apartment as you prefer.

Q: MVVM binding enum values : lots of proxy properties I'm writing a ViewModel library which works with my WPF Custom Controls.
My problem is that my DomainModel has a large amount of Data Types:
Cd,Pens,Gadgets,Books,ecc.
All these Data Types are enumerated with an enum (I have more or less 1 hundred DataTypes), and each data Type corresponds to a DB table.
So the idea is to have a ViewModel library which exposes one property for each data type, thus my UI controls can directly bind the properties of my viewModel. The viewModel for each property return an ObservableCollection.
For instance, if I'd like to have my combo box populated with the "Gadgets" data, in my XAML I 'll have something like :
<my:XCombo ItemsSource="{Binding Gadgets}" .... />

and in my ViewModel I'll have :
public ObservableCollection<Gadgets> Gadgets
{
    get
    {
        //get gadgets data from my domain model
        return _model.GetData(DataEnum.Gadgets);
    }
}

Now, in order to do that, I need in my ViewModel one property for each enumeration value, but I'd like to avoid to put 1 hundred property accessors. I'm lazy and this can be very error prone.
I know, in c#4 we have dynamic properties, so in this way I can avoid to write 100 property accessors, but I MUST use .net 3.5 which has no dynamic properties, i cannot use .net 4 ;(
Is there anyone who has already had this problem or any suggestion?
Thanks a lot in advance.

A: You could try to use an indexer property which returns the respective data
public IList this[DataEnum type]
{
     return _model.GetData(type);
}

Then bind it using that:
ItemsSource="{Binding [Gadgets]}"

Q: Optimal solutions for the practices about data structures from the Algorithm Design Manual This question is from the book The Algorithm Design Manual, 3-28.
The question is:

You have an unordered array X of n integers. Find the array M containing n elements where M_i is the product of all integers in X except for X_i. You may not use division and can use extra memory. (Hint: There exists solution faster than O(n^2).

Anybody has some great ideas?

A: O(n) solution:

*

*Compute array A such that A_i is the product of X_1..X_i

*Compute array B such that B_i is the product of X_i..X_n (in reverse, i.e. from array index n)

*Then compute M as M_i = A_(i-1)*B_(i+1)

Steps 1 and 2 can be computed in O(n) by using the subproducts computed in previous iterations.
[Of course, handle corner cases where the indices escape array bounds!]
Edit: I'm providing the complete solution below for clarity

*

*Compute array A as: A_1 = X_1; for i in (2..N): A_i = A_(i-1)*X_i

*Compute array B as: B_n = X_n; for i in (N..2): B_i = B_(i+1)*X_i

*Compute array M as: M_1 = B_2; M_n = A_(n-1); for i in (2..(N-1)): M_i = A_(i-1)*B_(i+1)

A: Just use one array and two loops, one loop is from front to end, the other loop is from back to end.
b[0] =      a[1]*a[2]*a[3]*a[4]
b[1] = a[0]*     a[2]*a[3]*a[4]
b[2] = a[0]*a[1]*     a[3]*a[4]
b[3] = a[0]*a[1]*a[2]*     a[4]
b[4] = a[0]*a[1]*a[2]*a[3]

Here are the codes:
void solve(int arr[], int len){
    int index = 0;

    // loop from begin to end
    arr_b[0] = 1;
    for (index = 1; index < len; ++index){
        arr_b[index] = arr_b[index - 1]*arr_a[index - 1];
    }

    // loop from end to begin
    for (index = len-2; index > 0; --index){
        arr_b[0] *= arr_a[index + 1];
        arr_b[index] *= arr_b[0];
    }
    arr_b[0] *= arr_a[1];
}


Scientists discover the key to tackling tuberculosis lies in starving the enemy.
Tuberculosis kills 1.4 million people per year. It's a growing problem: strains of the TB bacillus are becoming more resistant to existing drugs and the bacterium is very difficult to treat, often due to the long periods of time required to sustain long-term drug and treatment programmes.
But scientists at the University of Surrey have been conducting research into tuberculosis which could address these issues, and result in quicker treatment for sufferers.
Johnjoe McFadden, Professor of Molecular Genetics, and Dr Dany Beste, Lecturer in Microbial Metabolomics, are lead investigators on a Wellcome Trust-funded project, which examines what the bacterium 'eats' when it grows inside its host cell, a type of white blood cell called a macrophage.
Through infecting labelled white blood cells with the bacteria, the project team discovered that the TB bacterium attacks the host cells and eats fatty acids, amino acids and some other unknown compounds. It also captures dissolved carbon dioxide and turns it into its own biomass. The team can now use this greater understanding of what the bacterium feeds on to find vulnerabilities that could be targeted with new drugs.
The study was recently published in the journal Cell Chemistry and Biology.


Is buttermilk good for diabetes?
Buttermilk can be consumed betweeen and just after meals (for better digestion) by a diabetic.Diabetics need to enjoy food in small amounts and frequently. Buttermilk is a good mid meal snack. Also enjoy khakhras, lentils salad/bhel, fruits and vegetables in snacks.
Can Lantus be diluted or mixed with any other insulin or solution?
No, Lantus should not be diluted or mixed with other insulin or solution. If mixed, the solution can turn cloudy. The time to peak and onset of action can also be altered in an unpredictable manner when mixed with other insulin or solution. Hypoglycemia is the most common side-effect observed with Lantus and hence precautions should be taken to inject it as prescribed.
Is it normal to have a blood sugar level 111 without eating for 7 hours?
Actually a fasting blood sugar test is done when you haven't eaten anything for at least 8 to 10 hours. And yet I am inclined to say that even after 7 hours of fasting if your blood glucose is 111 mg/dl, you need to take it as a warning sign and start making changes to your lifestyle. To be sure, I'd advise you to take a fasting blood sugar test for 3–4 consecutive test. If all the readings are above 100, it means that you are very likely prediabetic.

Some more things before the late night returns from the Minnesota and Colorado caucuses and the Missouri primary:
ShePAC – a SuperPAC for conservative female candidates. (h/t TexasGrizzlette) When do middle aged male bloggers who are as good once as they ever were get a SuperPAC?
Israeli hackers take down Hamas website.
Adolf Hitler wants Scott Walker recalled.
Team Mitt still confident.
Jennifer Rubin to Endorse Santorum, Reject Romney? Nah.
"A stronger disgust with President Obama would likely send Tea Partiers to the polls to vote for whoever the GOP nominee is, … but would not translate to the kind of shape-shifting energy the Tea Party delivered in 2010."
Another phony anti-Israeli photo, this time from the MSM.
Dear T-Paw, stop now while you still have some dignity left.
Israel discovers even more offshore gas reserves, while Turkey has supply problems. Hah!
Romney consultant: "This year, the excitement is different: This isn't about going to Disneyworld; it's about paying your mortgage." How wrong you are. People still want the dream, more than ever. When we give that up, we've given up.
Say_What | February 7, 2012 at 5:14 pm
So Hitler's alive and resides at "66 Hell" in Wisconsin? I think he forgot the third six in his effort to be amusing, but then nobody ever said Hitler was very bright, just evil.
Milwaukee | February 7, 2012 at 7:45 pm
I am disappointed. I was hoping for one of the Hitler-in-bomb-shelter-with-his-aides videos. Y'know, the ones where he screams, and takes his glasses off and all that.
That's the best they could do? What about the guy who forged his brothers name several times?
Joy | February 7, 2012 at 5:32 pm
Three cheers for the IDF Team!
radiofreeca | February 7, 2012 at 6:41 pm
So, if Hitler wants Scott removed, he must want a union-supported Democrat in the office?
janitor | February 7, 2012 at 6:46 pm
I couldn't be more disgusted with Obama. I was gagging before he was elected. I am still not going to vote for Romney.
Valerie | February 7, 2012 at 7:11 pm
Me, either. But look for a TEAnami in the House and Senate races.
StrangernFiction | February 7, 2012 at 8:05 pm
A commenter at Ace of Spades nailed it (not an endorsement of AoS, as his view is derided there): Obama can't betray you.
The average voter doesn't make a distinction between Republican and conservative. Romney, whether we like it or not, will be the chief representative of conservatism. His actions being progressive won't change this reality.
McCoy2k | February 7, 2012 at 7:29 pm
Who does T-Paw think he is? McCain passed him up for Veep in 2008, there's no way Romney is going to pick him for Veep in 2012. Two boring guys on the same ticket? The establishment would have a come-to-Jesus moment with Romney if Pawlenty was at the top of the Veep choices again. Romney and the establishment knows there will have to be some red meat for the party grassroots in the Vice Presidential selection.
Has T-Paw decided whether he is going to run for the Senate seat against Amy Klobuchar?
DINORightMarie | February 7, 2012 at 7:36 pm
"This year, the excitement is different: This isn't about going to Disneyworld; it's about paying your mortgage." How wrong you are. People still want the dream, more than ever. When we give that up, we've given up.
Wow. That says clearly that Romney wants to manage the decline, not lead and provide vision to a nation at a crossroads.
If Romney wins the nomination, we will have some hard work to keep him from being the Obama lite so many think he is. And, that "consultant" should be the one Romney fires!
I'm still ABO, but hoping Newt (or Santorum) will prevail.
janitor | February 7, 2012 at 11:03 pm
Some people made a lot of money in the Great Depression. Now, I don't want any corporate raider scavenging the U.S. with his cronies for good deals.
Hope Change | February 7, 2012 at 11:03 pm
As to Newt, yes. Big yes.
A campaign about big ideas, big solutions. Involves the genius, heart and soul of the American people.
I guess some would call that a trip to Disneyworld? What an utter, cynical lack of spirit and imagination.
Count me in the Disneyworld camp. Walt Disney, so I've read, was TURNED DOWN BY 50 BANKS when he was first starting Disney Studios.
Those who will not use their imaginations are exactly the kind of people who got us into this mess. Sarah Palin said, "'status quo' — that's Latin for 'the mess we're in'." I have no time for the colorless souls.
Every good thing starts as a dream. Where did the iPhone come from? The Mona Lisa? Claire de Lune? The drapes, the snow blower, the space shuttle, teflon, post-its, the contours of your new car, the shape of the silverware in the kitchen. Someone had to think of it first. Braces on teeth. Eyeglasses.
There is nothing humans have invented that didn't start as a dream, an insight, an idea.
Lincoln campaigned on building a railroad across the prairie when he had never seen a train, but only read about them.
"If you want to build a boat … arouse in people a longing for the endless immensity of the sea." Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
There is no future without dreams. Americans are always dreamers, doers, innovators, improvisers. Jazz and basketball.
Don't tell me not to want Disneyworld.
A British general in WWII said that with British and other allied troops, you gave orders. But with Americans, you had to tell them WHY.
Rommel, steeped in centuries of military lore, said that the Americans, having no traditions, were not on the same level as the European troops, but that it was astonishing how fast the Americans ADAPTED.
In Washington's Crossing, I learned that George Washington, perhaps partly out of out of necessity, because the Americans who showed up to fight with him were all so independent, but also, as I recall, out of preference, adopted a leadership style in which everyone was given a chance to voice an opinion. Even the person of low military rank might presumably be of great experience. This is our tradition.
Something better, something worth having, is being offered to us this election.
I hope you will find out what it is. It's the chance of a lifetime. A fighting chance to restore our country. These solutions are particularly suited for the American spirit, which is, and is meant to be, a radiant thing.
There is simply no need whatsoever to be discouraged. And frankly, it's a little unseemly in a free people.
Together, we are an unstoppable force for restoration of our country.
RightKlik | February 7, 2012 at 7:48 pm
"This year, the excitement is different: This isn't about going to Disneyworld; it's about paying your mortgage."
Wait a minute… when did we have that "disneyworld" election? This has been serious business for most of us. What planet has team romney been on?
Mars, of course, which is what inspired this.

The Natural Gas – always glad to see international issues on the blog.
Detecting reserves & being able to exploit them are 2 different propositions.
They require massive capital inflow in stable zones – Unfortunately Israeli operations would need 24/7 perpetual military defense.
The oil wars were so last century. Natural gas is the ticket for 2020 +.

Who Owns Sports Coverage?
The NY Times covers the growing tension between professional sports teams and bloggers. I covered the issue in a column last summer.
"Three Strikes and You're Out" Policy Strikes Out
The new baseball season is in full swing, yet in recent months the phrase "three strikes and you're out" has taken on an entirely different meaning on the Internet. My new technology law column (Toronto Star version, homepage version) reports on how, prodded by content lobby groups, a handful of governments have moved toward requiring Internet service providers to terminate subscribers if they engage in file sharing activities on three occasions. The policy – occasionally referred to as "graduated response" – received support last fall from French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who pressured the private sector to negotiate an agreement to implement the three strikes system. The policy soon attracted global attention as the United Kingdom, Japan, and Australia all announced that they were contemplating a similar approach.
In recent weeks, however, it would appear that governments are beginning to have sober second thoughts. After a Swedish judge recommended adopting the three strikes policy, that country's Ministers of Justice and Culture wrote a public opinion piece setting out their forthcoming policy that explicitly excluded the three strikes model.
Earlier this month, the European Parliament delivered an even stronger rejection.

Taking Stock: No More Peanut Shells at the Cowboy Bar
First Look: Fort Greene Opens Tomorrow in Globeville
Mark Antonation
Mark Antonation | April 23, 2015 | 12:00pm
The building at 321 East 45th Avenue in Globeville has been home to many businesses over the years: the Portulaca Cafe, the White Owl, Crash 45. In the 1930s, it served as a meeting hall for Slovenian residents of the neighborhood. But tomorrow it begins a new life as Fort Greene, a bar and grill conceived and executed by owner and chef Bretton Scott, whose brother Aaron purchased the building in 2008.
Bretton Scott, a Wisconsin native, had been living in Brooklyn for the past several years, visiting his brother regularly in Denver and getting to know the neighborhood where he lived. When Crash 45 closed, Aaron told Bretton that he needed someone to take over the bar; Bretton saw it as an opportunity to bring something new to the north Denver neighborhood that was once thriving and residential before Interstates 25 and 70 cut Globeville into quarters and ushered in industrial encroachment. Scott has transformed the space from its previous steampunk-ish, industrial motif to a cozy neighborhood bar and grill that will serve Wisconsin-style bar food along with "specials and surprises" from the kitchen.
"The underlying theme is Wisconsin," Scott explains, "but not a sports bar — more like Wisconsin before the '60s and '70s." Scott's roots are Polish, German and Italian, but he explains that Wisconsin was originally settled by the French, so subtle French influences can still be found in the food. Along with a Sheboygan-style burger served on a semmel roll — "with plenty of butter," Scott notes — bar snacks could include "everything" fried cheese curds (in a nod to the everything bagels of Brooklyn), pickled-onion rings and housemade pate.
Scott is still tinkering with ideas for the menu and for weekly specials, which could include fish fries on Fridays, beer and housemade-bratwurst specials, and prime-rib Saturdays. "I call it continental comfort cuisine," he adds, noting that modern diners aren't confused by eclectic menus that might include Southeast Asian dumplings on the same list as those butter burgers.
Crash 45 Hits the Wall, Will Close After Saturday
Three Things to Do for Free in Denver June 22-25, 2015
Four draft beers, a small but carefully selected list of wines and a short list of house cocktails — like the Joan Collins, made with gin, sweet vermouth, mint and lemon — round out the bar.
Scott also wants Fort Greene (named for a neighborhood in Brooklyn) to be a cafe, since there aren't any nearby places to get good coffee and pastries (which he'll also be making) in the morning. For now, he'll open the bar from 4:45 p.m. to midnight Tuesday through Thursday and 4 p.m. to 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, but he hopes to extend the morning hours in the coming weeks.
Fun historical note: In a subtle nod to the building's history, the bar is listed as Fort Greene Slovenian Hall on Google Maps.

David Bremner
David Bremner (1818-1852)
1842 David Bremner of Wick, Caithness, became a member of the Institution of Civil Engineers.[1]
1853 Obituary [2]
Mr. David Bremner, the second son of Mr. James Bremner, M.Inst.C.E., was born at Wick, Caithness-shire, on the 14th February 1818.
Whilst at school he exhibited great steadiness and assiduity, and a decided inclination for the studies most necessary for the profession he subsequently adopted. He then devoted himself to the acquisition of the theory and practice of surveying, and among his first mechanical efforts were some ingenious improvements in cranes used in harbour-works.
Upon one of these works, the completion of the harbour of Keiss, Caithness (in 1833), for which his father had the contract, David Bremner may be said to have commenced his active career.
In 1834 he was transferred to the works at Sarclett, four miles south of Wick, another contract taken by his father, where the proprietor, aided by the Fisheries Board, had vainly attempted to raise a structure for sheltering the fishing-craft; but the violence of the waves had baffled all the constructive skill and power, of those who preceded Mr. Bremner.
By the united skill and perseverance of the father and son, the work was brought to a satisfactory termination, and in 1835, David Bremner, still acting under his father, was chiefly intrusted by him with the execution of the works, designed by Him, for the new harbour of Lossiemouth, the port of Elgin, in Morayshire. Here he was very successful, in the methods of damming out the water from the excavations in the rocks, whilst in progress, in spite of the furious onslaught of the waves of the North Sea, to which the works were fully exposed. His coolness in difficulty, his ingenuity in devising means for executing the work, together with his perseverance and determination, impressed all, with whom he was brought into contact, with very favourable opinions of his qualifications.
With the object of giving him experience in other branches of the profession, he was then placed under the late Mr. John Gibb (M.Inst.C.E.), of Aberdeen, and was by him employed at the erection of the Victoria Viaduct, over the Weare, at Beddick, Durham.
Thence he removed, in 1839-40, to Granton, Edinburgh, where, at the new pier, he enjoyed the advantage of the experience and instructions of Mr. Howkins (Assoc.Inst.C.E.), by whom he was engaged as Assistant, and at the end of 1840, Walker and Burges, the Engineers-in-chief for those works, kindly admitted him into their office in London, where he remained until his father required his aid, in 1842, in the construction of the harbour at Pittulie, in Aberdeenshire.
In 1844 he was intrusted by Mr. Simpson (V.P.Inst.C.E.), with the direction of the new Harbour and Dock-works at West Hartlepool, Durham, where he remained, until a vacancy occurred, under the Trustees of the River Clyde and Harbour of Glasgow, when he was elected, in a flattering manner, to the position of Resident Engineer, and, aided by his brother Alexander, performed the duties with great credit, until his premature decease, on the 14th March 1852, in the thirty-third year of his age, generally regretted as a promising engineer, who, if he had been spared, would have attained a good position in the profession.
He joined the Institution, as an Associate, in 1842, and became a Member, by transfer, in 1851. During his residence in London he attended the meetings very regularly, and the part he took in the discussions indicated the practical nature of his professional education.

The January New Moon Will Be A Wakeup Call For These 4 Zodiac Signs
"Big developments can happen quickly."
by Brittany Beringer
Westend61/Westend61/Getty Images
Move over, boss babe era — Capricorn season has passed. It's time to revel in a more free-spirited vibe à la the January 2023 new moon. Arriving on Jan. 21 in quirky Aquarius, the first new moon of 2023 is inspiring the collective to embrace their uniqueness, break traditions, and let their freak flag fly. For the zodiac signs most affected by the January 2023 new moon, the optimistic lunation's impact will push them to make major decisions in order to actualize their biggest hopes and dreams — even if they're a little unconventional.
In astrology, new moons herald fresh starts and new opportunities. With la luna ingressing in visionary Aquarius — the air sign that's ruled by the 11th house of friendship and hope — this moment is all about innovation. That can be on an individual scale, like debuting a different style or introducing new rituals, but it can also be reimagining how we show up for our friendships. The zodiac signs most impacted by this forward-thinking vibe will be prompted to see the bigger picture when it comes to their goals, face their emotions, and learn how they can nurture a functional and progressive community.
"While the overall tone of the new moon is positive, we need to watch out for biting off more than we can chew with Mercury in Capricorn squaring Jupiter in Aries," Tamerri Ater, astrologer and founder of the wellness brand Gift Of The Nile tells Bustle. "Big developments can happen quickly, especially with all planets direct, but stay practical and grounded."
Curious to know if you'll be hit the hardest by this lunation? Keep reading to find out if you're one of the zodiac signs most affected by the January 2023 new moon.
Aries Zodiac Signs (March 21 - April 19)
Margaret Flatley/Bustle
With the new moon lighting up your social sector, this time is all about nurturing your friendships, Aries. Are you repeating bad habits? If so, it's time to strengthen your platonic connections. Lucky Jupiter is smiling down on you in your home sign, so it's a powerful moment to create new traditions with your friend group or grow your inner circle. Who you brush elbows with now may prove to be fruitful later. "Networking can help you achieve your long-term goals," explains Ater.
Taurus Zodiac Signs (April 20 - May 20)
It's time to bring your unorthodox ideas to the office, Taurus. The new moon is firing up your house of career, inspiring you to get a little unconventional at work, especially when it comes to networking and problem-solving. On the other hand, a new professional opportunity may find its way to you, according to Ater. "You're being pushed towards your destiny and a new way of showing up in the world," she says.
Leo Zodiac Signs (July 23 - Aug. 22)
Things are shaking up in your relationships right now, Leo — but rest assured it's for the best. If you've been emotionally distant, this could be a wake-up call to pencil in quality time with your partner or pay more attention to your love life. If you're single, a new relationship could blossom, but you'll have to reflect on how to show up as an authentic partner first. Ater says a fresh start in your personal relationships is on the horizon. "You could meet someone new who will be influential to your future."
Aquarius Zodiac Signs (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)
Talk about a total regeneration, Aquarius. This new moon in your native sign is a loving push to embrace your authentic self while taking creative risks in all kinds of ways: aesthetically, mentally, and emotionally. What cycles do you need to break and which habits will help you progress forward? This lunation is pushing you to make major moves so you can be the main character you wish to be. "This is like pressing a personal reset button. It's a great time to redefine your goals, make a plan and collaborate with others to achieve them," explains Ater.

Giants and Washington not fighting for playoffs this year
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP)Ron Rivera and Joe Judge exceeded expectations last season in their first year running their new clubs.
Rivera got Washington to the playoffs for the first time in five years, overcoming injuries and a pandemic to win the NFC East with a 7-9 record. Judge and the Giants were in the race until the final night of the season, finishing second with a 6-10 mark.
While many expected more, this season has been a disappointment for both Washington (6-10) and the Giants (4-12), especially on the injury front.
The teams will meet Sunday at MetLife Stadium with little or nothing on the line. The following day, they will pack up and head home for the offseason, leaving frustrated fans unhappy.
Rivera said Washington was fortunate to win the division last year. They played hard, got hot at the right time and things fell their way.
"I think this year is a bit more of what I expected," he said. "I didn't expect to win the division right away, and I didn't expect to win at 7-9, to be honest, but we won. Expectations here rose more than it should have. I think we have developed our football team and the things that we've done, I think we're kind of heading the direction. Obviously, you love a better record."
Rivera is in good position for next season. Judge has to hope Giants co-owners John Mara and Steve Tisch believe he has built a foundation that will deliver a first postseason berth since 2016 – SOON.
Judge seemed to make an impassioned 11-minute plea after last weekend's loss to the Bears, telling reporter and everyone who would read their stories or see his video clip that the Giants have laid a foundation to end what is now five straight years of double-digit losing seasons.
Whether he gets the chance remains to be seen.
FROMM II
With starter Daniel Jones (neck) and backup Mike Glennon (wrist) out for the season, second-year pro Jake Fromm will get his second start.
The Georgia product got his first the day after Christmas and was 6 of 17 for 25 yards before being replaced by Glennon in a 34-10 loss to the playoff-bound Eagles.
"You can't change the past, so you just learn from it. You move on and try to do better next time," Fromm said this week.
Practice squad quarterback Brian Lewerke, who has never taken a snap in an NFL game, is expected to be the backup.
FINAL GAME AS WFT
With Washington set to reveal its new name Feb. 2, this will be the final game the team is known as the Washington Football Team.
The temporary name lasted two seasons. The team dropped its old name in the summer of 2020 after decades of criticism it was offensive to Native Americans and after pressure mounted from sponsors in the midst of a national reckoning on race in the U.S.
"It's the Washington Redskins to me because I've been watching them since I was little," said rookie running back Jaret Patterson, who grew up in the area. "In my heart, they will always be the Redskins to me. But it's kind of cool getting a new name. I kind of like just going into a new era."
NON PRODUCTION
This has been a miserable season for the Giants' wide receivers. The group has caught four touchdown passes in 16 games. The last was a 5-yard catch by Dante Pettis against Carolina on Oct. 24.
The other three TD catches by the receivers were by Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton and John Ross. Of the team's 14 TD catches, tight end Evan Engram has a team-high three.
Kenny Gollaway, who signed a $72 million contract to make big plays, does not have a TD catch. That puts him one behind left tackle Andrew Thomas.
HEINICKE'S LAST STAND?
When Taylor Heinicke was out of football and taking college classes online in the fall of 2020, he never expected a deal as Washington's quarantine quarterback to turn into this. He started Washington's playoff game against Tampa Bay, earned a two-year contract and replaced injured veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick in the season opener this year.
The Giants game is expected to be his 17th NFL start. His first was with Carolina in 2018 under Rivera, and the rest have come since in Washington.
Heinicke has thrown for 3,299 yards, 20 touchdowns and 15 interceptions this season. He and backup Kyle Allen are likely competing for a spot next season, even if Washington takes a QB prospect high in the draft.
YOUNG LBS
Giants linebackers Azeez Ojulari and Lorenzo Carter have been the key playmakers on the defense.
A second-round draft pick in late April, Ojulari ranks third among rookies with eight sacks.
Carter, who has battled a number of injuries in his four seasons with New York, has finally started to flash his talent lately. He has sacks in three straight games, along with two forced fumbles and three passes defended.
"I told him yesterday, I'm going to start calling him Mr. Carter," defensive coordinator Pat Graham said Thuesday. "Mr. Carter showed up. Who knows the exact reason? I know he works hard; he works really hard during the week and I'm happy for him that it's starting to come together, having some success."

Last night one of Mandelson's favourites, Tristram Hunt, won a questionable selection contest to take the Labour candidacy in Stoke Central.
The selection panel did not allow any local contenders on the shortlist.
Fed up of being pushed around by the national party Stoke Central constituency Labour party secretary Gary Elsby has just said he'll stand against Hunt as an independent.
I've no doubt that some of the people that opted for Hunt would have voted for a local candidate if they'd have had the chance.
But the news has raised the possibility of a more significant situation.
The battle between Elsby and Hunt will split the Labour vote meaning a challenge from the BNP will carry a higher chance of success.
The nationalists have a sturdy following in Stoke and a strong presence on the city council.
It's not a coincidence that the BNP deputy party leader Simon Darby is their candidate for the seat.
People have been watching Nick Griffin in Barking up until now as the main threat from the BNP, now there are two fronts.
Another factor to take into account is the former BNP councillor Albie Walker also standing as an independent.
From what I've read a lot of the BNP's popularity in Stoke is due to their local work which may favour Walker. Could be just as big a split as amongst Labour voters.
I note with glee Mandy P's touch is getting ever more reflective of his natural ability to screw up. This fragrant perfumed parachute ain't going to cut it in Stoke!!
Risky business from Labour, this could go catastrophically wrong.

LTR's July showcast focuses on ALBANIA, the once celebrated Roman province of Illyria. Bordered by the Adriatic and Ionian seas to the west and southwest, to the northeast by Yugoslavia and Greece on the southeast, the country is known for its rugged terrain and independent people. Now a democratic republic after four decades of Communist rule, and with a population of less than 3.5 million people, it is mineral rich with a promising future, and is ripe for tour and travel discovery. Its culture is unique, both Moslem and Christian, where theatre, fashion, music, and food predominate.

"The proximity to the great lakes has allowed me to join a women's sailboat racing league which I look forward to each summer. Moving to Buffalo has also let me be closer to my family."
My research was focused on the development of more effective vaccines against commensal bacteria with a focus on Streptococcus pneumoniae. To do this, I worked in conjunction with the startup company, Abcombi Biosciences, on vaccine delivery technology that overcomes the manufacturing limitations of current solutions. I focused on a biofilm model that allows for the expression of the virulent biofilm released phase, which could lead to the discovery of new protective antigens. It is my hope that the research and entrepreneurial experience I have gained through these projects will lead to a successful career in the pharmaceutical industry.
Streptococcus pneumoniae, the focus of my research, is the common cause of pneumonia and results in the most antibiotic prescriptions. Globally, it is also a leading cause of death in children under 5 years old. A more efficacious vaccine against this bacteria could greatly improve the quality of life throughout the world. In my professional career, I hope to continue the development of vaccines and therapeutics so as to make a positive impact on the world.

Q: How to run a method from a different class - JAVA I am trying to call the toh method from my main class(Driver). When I make the call it gives me a null pointer exception. How can I call the toh method in Hanoi from the driver class? When I combine the classes into one it works fine but I need them to be two separate classes. Also, I included the global variables I am using in both classes is that necessary? Any help is welcome. Thanks!
public class Hanoi {

 public static int N;
 public static int cycle = 0;
 /* Creating Stack array  */
 public static Stack<Integer>[] tower = new Stack[4];
 public static void toh(int n)
 {
     for (int d = n; d > 0; d--)
         tower[1].push(d);
     display();
     move(n, 1, 2, 3);
 }
 /* Recursive Function to move disks */
 public static void move(int n, int a, int b, int c)
 {
     if (n > 0)
     {
         move(n-1, a, c, b);
         int d = tower[a].pop();
         tower[c].push(d);
         display();
         move(n-1, b, a, c);
     }
 }
 /*  Function to display */
 public static void display()
 {

     System.out.println("T"+cycle + "  Pillar 1  |  Pillar 2  |  Pillar 3");
     System.out.println("-------------------------------------");
     for(int i = N - 1; i >= 0; i--)
     {

         String d1 = " ", d2 = " ", d3 = " ";
         try
         {
             d1 = String.valueOf(tower[1].get(i));
         }
         catch (Exception e){
         }
         try
         {
             d2 = String.valueOf(tower[2].get(i));
         }
         catch(Exception e){
         }
         try
         {
             d3 = String.valueOf(tower[3].get(i));
         }
         catch (Exception e){
         }

         System.out.println("  "+d1+"         |  "+d2+"         |    "+d3);
     }
     System.out.println("\n");
     cycle++;
 }
}

Main class(driver):
public class Driver{
 public static int N;
 public static int cycle = 0;
 /* Creating Stack array  */
 public static Stack<Integer>[] tower = new Stack[4];
 public static void main(String[] args)
 {
   int num = 0;
     Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
     tower[1] = new Stack<>();
     tower[2] = new Stack<>();
     tower[3] = new Stack<>();
     /* Accepting number of disks */

     while(num <=0){
         System.out.println("Enter number of disks(greater than 0):");
         num = scan.nextInt();
     }
     N = num;
     Hanoi.toh(num);
  }
 }

A: Try to initialize the tower array, something like this:
public static Stack<Integer>[] tower;

public static void toh( int n )
{
    tower = new Stack[n];
    for ( int d = 0 ; d < n ; d++ )
    {
        tower[d]=new Stack<>();
    }

A: You are initializing your tower array inside your Driver class, however, you have not initialized it in your Hanoi class.
As I said in my comment, please do not write global variables twice, in different classes. This is because the different classes DO NOT share the same global variables. (when we say global variable, we mean that they are global to the Driver class only. To access those variables, use the dot operator)
For example, get rid of the N cycle and tower declarations from your Hanoi class
Then access those variables using the dot operator.
tower would become Driver.tower and N would become Driver.N and so forth.
Note: this only works if your Driver class is static, otherwise you would need to access it as an object attribute.

A: delete duplicated static values in a class (either Driver or Hanoi)
then in the class that no longer has the static values and add that class to the beginning of all the missing classes.
Ex:
class A{
    public static int MyVar;
    public int aMethod(){
        return MyVar-2;
    }
}
class B{
    public static int MyVar;
    public void bMethod(){
        ++MyVar;
    }
}

↓ to ↓
class A{
    public static int MyVar;
    public int aMethod(){
        return MyVar-2;
    }
}
class B{
    public void bMethod(){
        ++A.MyVar;
    }
}

Brian Flores once again says Tua Tagovailoa "is our quarterback"

Another wave of Deshaun Watson reports, another press conference, another opportunity for Dolphins coach Brian Flores to make an obvious statement carefully confined to the present tense.
Tua Tagovailoa "is our quarterback," Flores told reporters on Friday. Flores said the exact same thing on September 1, at a time when rumors and reports were pointing toward a potential Watson trade to Miami.
Yes, Tua "is" the Miami quarterback. Will he be the Miami quarterback as of 4:01 p.m. ET on Tuesday, November 2? That's when the window will have closed on the 2021 trade period — and when the Dolphins either will or won't have traded for Watson.
John McClain of the Houston Chronicle recently reported that the Texans "could" trade Watson to the Dolphins by the end of the week. Frankly, that seems like an effort by Houston G.M. Nick Caserio to ring the dinner bell for any other teams that may want to make an offer.
Regardless, until a trade happens, Tua "is" the Miami quarterback. Until Flores provides a broader, more definitive statement regarding the future (for example, "will be"), the possibility of a trade will linger.
Tua has a way to end the chatter. Play, and play well. Also, try not to lose to a team that has lost 20 games in a row.
