I'm riding the train from Connecticut into New York City. I think that it is so wonderful that I'm reconnecting with Tessa from my Vampire Realm series and beginning to crank out some awesome stuff. I'm not sure why but being on a train threw me into a frenzy of literary proportions but it did. My aunt caught me at a true thinking moment.

Ferran Adrià at Harvard: The Evolution of Culinary Theory

Share All sharing options for: Ferran Adrià at Harvard: The Evolution of Culinary Theory
Harvard University's third annual Science & Cooking public lecture series brings chefs from around the world to lecture on the intersection of science and cooking. And Eater Boston editor Rachel Leah Blumenthal is on the scene. This week: Ferran Adrià.

Harvard's Science & Cooking lecture series continued last night with its penultimate installment for the season: Ferran Adrià spoke on the evolution of culinary theory. Adrià has lots of questions but few answers, and that's partly what drove him the reinvent elBulli, closing the restaurant in order to open the upcoming elBulliFoundation, an interdisciplinary "creativity center," in 2015.
The majority of Adrià's lecture consisted of thought experiments posed through questions, often seemingly simple "yes or no" questions on the nature of the culinary knowledge base. Speaking through a translator, he zeroed in on individuals, triumphantly challenging their assertions and then charging ahead to the next question, digging towards a deeper theoretical level while leaving the answer unclear. Obscuring the line between "yes" and "no" seems to be Adrià's M.O., as interviews with him yield the same results. When he spoke with Eater's Joshua David Stein in 2010, for example, Stein observed: "He also has a tendency to respond by saying either, 'No, no, no' or 'Yes, yes, yes' and they both appear to mean the same thing."
When the elBulli closure was announced in 2010, mixed messages were perpetuated by the media and by Adrià himself, leading to months of confusion about the reasons for the closure, whether it would be permanent, and what would come next. "Is he broke? Is he burned out?" Adrià recounted to Eater in late 2011. "It's a matter of excess information, and also the Bulli phenomenon. There are lots of myths, and no one wants to demystify."
There are thousands of questions, starting with the broad ones: What is cooking? What is cuisine?
Adrià provided background on the closure at the start of last night's lecture, and in the end, it seems that the thesis of the talk was also the driving factor behind elBulli's transformation: culinary theory — the whole knowledge base behind the world of cooking — needs to be explored and classified so that everyone is on the same page. There are thousands of questions, starting with the broad ones: What is cooking? What is cuisine? "One of the reasons why we wanted to stop was to ask ourselves, 'Who are we?'" Adrià said last night. Wylie Dufresne drove home the same point in his lecture three weeks ago, revealing the "dirty little secret of chefs" to be that they don't know what they're doing; he created wd~50 to explore seemingly basic questions, like "What is cooking?"
"If we wanted elBulli not to die, we had to close the restaurant. We closed elBulli to not have to close elBulli," Adrià explained. The idea was to take a sabbatical to explore the essential questions, and this exploration will manifest itself as elBulliFoundation, a "creativity center" that will begin construction next year, and other massive undertakings such as BulliPedia, the "world's first culinary wiki." A few years ago, the foundation was "a crazy thing, a dream," Adrià said last night, but now it is a "reality."
So, the questions. Adrià began with the largest: What is cooking? Or, what is cuisine? Both were posed fairly interchangeably through Adrià's translator at the lecture. "When a monkey peels a banana, is he cooking? Yes or no?" Adrià asked. The audience consensus leaned towards no. "Why no? What if I peel a banana for breakfast?" He continued to push, using examples like an oyster on a plate. Does the act of shucking it mean that you're cooking?
Going further: "When we are eating, are we cooking?" While it may seem that the answer is simply no if the eater is not also the cook, Adrià gave another perspective. Imagine you're served sashimi with ginger and wasabi. If you put the wasabi on the sashimi and then eat the ginger, that's one dish. Your dining companion ate some ginger, then some sashimi, and then the wasabi. That's another dish. You've created different dishes, so are you cooking? And he continued with fondue. Are you the cook or the eater?
His solution is to call it a culinary process instead of simply cuisine.
His solution is to call it a culinary process instead of simply cuisine. There are multiple players involved — the cook, the eater — and the roles can overlap. Taking it another step further, what if beverages are added to the mix? A sommelier comes by to suggest a wine pairing for the fondue. Now it's more than a culinary process; it's a gastronomic process.
Next, Adrià traced a winding timeline through culinary history, making his first stop over a million years ago with Homo habilis, our earliest ancestor in the Homo genus. We know they walked and ate, and there's evidence that they used primitive stone tools. But how do we know what they drank: water? Fruit juices? We don't know, so we have to compile what we do know and reflect on it to make inferences. The same applies to any era. Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics show rabbits, but "I didn't know if they were eating the rabbits or doing magic tricks," said Adrià. By tracing clues throughout history, we can create a more complete picture.
As a corollary to the culinary timeline, Adrià challenged the audience to determine the meaning of "traditional" cuisine. "Do you like traditional cuisine? Of course you do. So, what's traditional cuisine?" How long does it take before something can be considered "traditional," and does it depend on the borders of a country? A different boundary? If McDonald's has been popular in Spain for decades, is McDonald's traditional Spanish food?
"I didn't make a single statement so far," noted Adrià as he reached the final section of his lecture. "I've been asking questions." The line of questioning continued as he drove home his point that no one is on the same page of culinary theory.
Adrià kept pushing for a definition that was not going to materialize.
An easy question, he claimed. "What is fruit?" One audience member defined it as an ovary that you eat. "So you see eggplants next to bananas at the supermarket?" Another audience member noted that the culinary and botanical definitions of fruit are different, but Adrià kept pushing for a definition that was not going to materialize.
Fine, an easier question, he continued. "What's chicken?" Audience: "A bird." Adrià: "But an ostrich is a bird, too." He scrawled a diagram on the board, trying to draw out a conclusion about the difference between male and female chickens, young and old, but the point was obscured partly due to the language barrier regarding the multiple words for chickens of different ages and genders. "If it's any consolation, the best cooks in the world didn't guess what is fruit and what is chicken," he said.
The key point, he explained, is that if we can't agree on definitions for fruit, for chicken, how can we improve? In the culinary world, "we lack classifications altogether," and it's "no laughing matter" that an industry has no clear consensus on thousands of questions like this. There's not enough time for cooks to reflect, read, and learn from history, he explained, and that's where the problems come from. We need to "reset" our mind to find context and clarity. While it's impossible to know everything about everything — there are 3,000 varieties of tomatoes, he exclaimed — we can help technology help us. "So now, humans, we really have to help machines: reflecting, classifying, synthesizing information."

The agitation of Ramponkar turned violent on second day in Panaji with police resorting to lathicharge and arresting leaders of the protesting traditional fishermen.
At Cutbona jetty, ramponkar and trawler owner physically clashed over blocking the entry of trawlers in Sal river from the sea.
The Ramponkar have been demanding that trawlers with LED lights be seized by the fisheries department.
The situation was becoming tense since morning when ramponkar served a deadline to take action on the fishing trawlers by evening.
As the deadline was approaching, somebody threw a stone at the police guarding the fisheries department.
Police Inspector Uday Parab was injured and rushed to the hospital.
The police took this excuse and dispersed the agitators by resorting to lathicharge.
The police also warned the ramponkar to clear River Mandovi of their canoes.
While some of the leaders were pushed into the police buses, the others took their canoes and dispersed from River Mandovi.
The situation also turned violent at Cutbona fishing jetty in South Goa as ramponkar blocked the river mouth of Sal river, blocking all the fishing trawlers from coming in.
They wanted the fisheries department to inspect the trawlers with LED lights and suspend their licences.
As a result, therRamponkar and mechanized fishermen indulged in a fist fight, pushing each other.
The police immediately intervened and separated them.
But the Mamaltdar as well as the deputy collector failed to make peace.
The trawler owners were asking to permit them to supply water and food to the crew members, who were stranded in the sea.
The ramponkar reached a compromise at Cutbona only when the agitating traditional fishermen were beaten up in Panaji by the police.
Velim MLA and trawler owner Bejamin Silva intervened in the evening, after which the ramponkar agreed to allow trawlers to come to the jetty.
The authorities have assured them that not a single trawler with LED lights would be allowed to go in the sea.
Ealier, in the morning, fisheries director Shamila Coutinho tried to pacify the agitators by issuing a show cause notice to all the jetties.
She asked the jetty chairmen to furnish names of the trawler owners carrying LED lights.
But Ramponkar wanted her to act immediately, where government acted in a typical manner of suppressing the agitation.

Clarke told conservative radio host Vicki McKenna during an interview: "I'm both honored and humbled to be appointed to this position by Secretary Kelly, working for the Trump administration". He earned his master's degree in security studies at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California.
The sheriff used almost identical language from sources without properly attributing passages 47 times in his thesis on security, CNN's investigative KFile reported Saturday.
He also reportedly plagiarized words from several other reports including the 9/11 Commission Report, various think tanks like the Pew Research Center, a 2012 report by the Constitution Project, a 2003 report by the US General Accounting Office, and media outlets like a 2013 Washington Post article and former President George W. Bush's book, "Decision Points".
On Saturday night, Clarke denied the plagiarism charges, telling the Journal Sentinel, "only someone with a political agenda would say this is plagiarism". Days later, Politico reported that Crowley also plagiarized multiple sections of her doctoral dissertation in global relations.
Clarke quickly took to Twitter to attack the reporter behind the story, noting the reporter has made similar accusations against other Trump allies in the past.
A vocal Trump advocate since before the election, he is the subject of a CNN KFile investigation which claims to prove that he plagiarized parts of his thesis.
"This @CNN hack @KFILE oppo research MO is to accuse plagiarism". Rand Paul and Monica Crowley.
Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke's alleged instances of plagiarism in his master's thesis from 2014 in security issues, might have cost him a job as an assistant secretary with the Department of Homeland Security, if he was even offered the job in the first place.
"Guy is a sleaze bag", Clarke wrote in a post that linked to a story in which Sen.
Many civil rights groups have accused Clarke of human rights abuses that occurred under his watch as sheriff, with four deaths in his jail since 2016.
He has praised and supported Trump's executive orders on immigration. He has criticized the Black Lives Matter movement, which grew out of protests over a number of police killings of unarmed black men, as "subhuman creeps".

Yesterday the Tax Court issued a long-anticipated opinion on a fully-litigated micro-captive insurance company. Micro-captive insurance companies have long been a popular means of self-insuring for closely-held businesses but recently have come under additional scrutiny by the IRS. This case long preceded the IRS's formal announcement focusing on micro-captive companies and was supported on brief by the Self-Insurance Institute of America, Inc.

Micro-captive insurance companies are specifically provided for under IRC Section 831(b) but, as demonstrated by the Court's opinion, they must meet certain factual criteria to maintain that preferred tax status. In a detailed and precedential division opinion authored by Judge Holmes, the Tax Court found that the insurance company formed by business owners Benyamin and Orna Avrahami was not operated like an insurance company, issued policies with unclear and contradictory terms, and charged wholly unreasonable premiums. Because the company was not an insurance company as required by section 831(b), its election to be treated as a micro-captive insurance company was invalid. As such, the premiums paid to the company by the Avrahamis were not deductible business expenses.
The Avrahamis also owned an entity called Belly Button Center which received funds from their insurance company and made loans to them personally. After its "omphaloskeptical review" the IRS challenged the validity of the loans alleging that they were a sham. The Court declined to reach that conclusion but did treat a little less than $300,000 of the $1.5 million transferred between the related parties as taxable dividends.
Finally, the Court considered whether negligence penalties applied to the Avrahamis. Based in part on the fact that this was a case of first impression with regard to micro-captive insurance, the Court found that the taxpayers had reasonable cause for the position taken on the returns and thus avoided penalties on the disallowed insurance premiums. The Court did, however, impose penalties on the portion of the loan treated as a dividend and another dividend of $200,000 that the taxpayers failed to report on their return.

2000 was a very good year for Mr. Phillips. He won over $50,000 in bowling tournaments. It seemed his pastime might be lucrative enough to become a business. He invested heavily in the bowling venture – to the tune of $30,000 per year. He was not an overnight sensation though. He only won more than $10,000 in a year once more. He nonetheless continued to view bowling as his business.
That brings us to 2008. In 2008, Mr. Philips was working days for the post office and apparently found less time to bowl. Even though he had not won a tournament in three years, he continued to devote substantial resources to his bowling endeavors – or at least he claimed that he did on his 2008 tax return. Mr. Phillips claimed earnings of $67,171 from the postal service and deductions for business expenses of $28,243 related to his bowling endeavors in 2008. (Credit Mr. Phillips' accountant who refused to sign the return.)
The IRS denied Mr. Phillips' business expenses and he challenged the Commissioner's determinations by filing a pro se petition in Tax Court. The Tax Court walked through the nine factors in Treas. Reg. §1.183-2(b), which defines activities not engaged in for profit, concluding that Mr. Phillips satisfied none of them. The Court's conclusion probably had as much to do with Mr. Phillips' failure to produce evidence that he even participated a bowling tournament in 2008 as it did with his failure to show that he carried out his bowling venture in any kind of business-like manner. It seems from the evidence and testimony recounted in the opinion that he did neither.
Mr. Phillips' business expense deductions were denied in full and he found himself subject to an accuracy-related penalty of 20%. Gutter ball.

Q: using loop or temporary table, which one gives better performance? I am just beginner in SQL Server. I have few concern over the performance variance between using a loop or temporary table. And is there any simple way to do
(x+y ) + (x+y ) + (x+y ) /  sum(x)

in a single query.
this is what i have did
select cast(datetime as date) as date,DATEPART(hour,datetime) as hour,sum(product)  as         Total
from temp_aggregated_speed
group by cast(datetime as date), DATEPART(hour,datetime)
 order by cast(datetime as date),DATEPART(hour,datetime);

will store this in a variable and process (one more query there to find sum of x ). Is there any way to do it in a single query?

A: Simplifying your equation with some basic algebra will often improve performance while also making your designs less complex. Your example equation can be rewritten as follows:
  ( (x+y) + (x+y) + (x+y)...) / sum(x)
= ( sum(x+y) ) / sum(x)
= ( sum(x) + sum(y) ) / sum(x)
= sum(x)/sum(x) + sum(y)/sum(x)
= 1 + sum(y)/sum(x)

If X and Y are in the same table, the SQL query is this simple:
select blah, 1 + sum(y)/sum(x) as FinalAnswer
from thetable
group by blah

Be sure your datatypes are compatible, you may have to do some typecasting to get the mathematical part to behave the way you want. For example:
select blah, cast(1.0 as float) + sum(cast(y as float))/sum(cast(x as float)) as FinalAnswer
from thetable
group by blah

The Income Tax department, on Wednesday carried out survey in two private schools of Tricity and found various glaring tax irregularities in the functioning of both the schools. According to sources, in the early hours, two teams of 15 Tax officials started the survey in St Peter's School in Sector 37-B, Chandigarh and Gillco International School, Kharar, Punjab. During the survey, the officials found that both the schools were allegedly not paying Income tax and were found incorrectly claiming to be exempted from the tax. Sources said that it was found that despite being a charitable institution, the St peter's School was using the money generated from school for personal benefits. While using money generated from the school is prohibited under the Income Tax Act. In the St peter's School, officials also found that the school trustees have bought various luxury vehicles for their personal use.
The school record documents also showed that the school is generating huge surplus which is being used in purchase of various residences occupied by the trustees in posh sectors of the Tricity. With this the officials have also recovered other documents including signed blank cheques from the school premises, which clearly showed that school had claimed fake expenses. The officials have seized the documents and are scrutinising as more irregularities are expected. However, in the Gillco International School, it was found that the school had failed to take necessary approvals from the Income Tax Department which is required to get taxation exemptions, though the school was claiming to have them. The school documents showed inflation of expenses which are being verified by the department. The authorities of both the school were not available for comments.
In almost a decade, this is the first time that the tricity private schools have come under the radar of Income tax Department.

Breast cancer: Silencing inflammatory gene may treat aggressive tumors
Written by James Kingsland on June 15, 2020 — Fact checked by Zia Sherrell, MPH
A study in mice has found that scientists can switch off a gene responsible for an aggressive form of breast cancer. Silencing the gene not only shrinks tumors but also prevents their spread around the body.
New breast cancer research turns to gene silencing in search for a better treatment against aggressive tumors.
Around one in eight females in the United States will develop breast cancer, according to the American Cancer Society.
In 2019, doctors diagnosed an estimated 268,600 new cases of invasive breast cancer in females in the U.S., while around 41,760 individuals died from the disease.
Up to a fifth of breast cancers are a more aggressive form known as triple-negative breast cancer that is difficult to treat.
Unlike the majority of breast cancers, estrogen and progesterone do not fuel the growth of triple-negative tumors, so drugs, such as tamoxifen, that block these hormones are ineffective.
A molecule that switches off a particular gene in triple-negative tumors could be a promising alternative treatment, according to research at Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans, LA.
The scientists report their discovery in the Nature journal Scientific Reports.
The effect of gene silencing
The research combined in vitro studies of cells growing in dishes with in vivo studies involving mice.
The team began by working with cultures of a triple-negative cancer cell line that originally came from a patient treated in 1973 at the M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX.
The researchers compared the effects of switching off two known breast cancer genes, one called Rab27a and the other TRAF3IP2.
To deactivate or "silence" the genes, they targeted them with molecules of short hairpin RNAs called lentiviral-TRAF3IP2-shRNA. These are strands of RNA twisted back on themselves like a hairpin that prevent a specific gene from being read or "transcribed" to make a protein.
The researchers discovered that switching off TRAF3IP2 had a more disruptive effect on cancer-associated metabolic pathways in the cells than switching off Rab27a.
They confirmed this by switching off the genes individually in a mouse model of breast cancer.
Switching off Rab27a did slow down tumor growth in the mice, but a very small number of cancer cells spread, or "micrometastasized."
When the researchers switched off TRAF3IP2, however, this not only suppressed new tumor growth but also prevented metastasis for up to 1 year. Better still, the treatment shrank existing tumors until they were undetectable.
"This exciting discovery has revealed that TRAF3IP2 can play a role as a novel therapeutic target in breast cancer treatment," says Dr. Reza Izadpanah, assistant professor of medicine at Tulane University School of Medicine, who led the research.
Future studies 'to further validate' findings
The scientists are now seeking approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to start clinical trials as soon as possible.
They write that, first, they will need to confirm their results by transplanting breast cancer cells from human patients into mice, in a process known as 'xenotransplantation.'
"A limitation of the present study is that we used a single breast cancer cell line to investigate potential roles of silencing Rab27a and TRAF3IP2 on tumor growth. Our future studies will involve the use of patient-derived xenotransplants to further validate these fundamental first in vivo and in vitro results."
– Eckhard U. Alt et al.
Silencing TRAF3IP2 may turn out to be an effective treatment in several cancers and even heart failure.
The gene is known to activate various cellular pathways that promote inflammation, which plays an important role not only in cancer but also in heart failure.
In their breast cancer research, the team at Tulane School of Medicine collaborated with Dr. Chandrasekar Bysani at the University of Missouri School of Medicine in Columbia, who identified the part played by TRAF3IP2 in promoting inflammation in heart failure.
Dr. Bysani also took part in recent research that found that switching off TRAF3IP2 could be an effective strategy for treating glioblastoma, a malignant type of brain cancer.

Q: Issue with bringing a 2d matrix into row echelon form in C using Gaussian Elimination I am attempting to bring a matrix into row echelon form using C. The issue I am having is that occasionally, my code will allow ratio to have 0 as a denominator. The code snippet is as follows.

double **identityMatrix = allocateMatrix(size, size);
double **modifiedMatrix = allocateMatrix(size,size);
identityMatrix = createIdentityMatrix(size);
modifiedMatrix = matrix;
double ratio = 0;
for(int curCol = 0; curCol < size; curCol++) //Bring to row echelon form
{
  for(int curRow = curCol +1; curRow < size; curRow++)
  {
    if(modifiedMatrix[curRow][curCol] != 0)
    {
     int tmp = curRow - 1;
      while(modifiedMatrix[tmp][curCol] == 0)
      {
         tmp--;
      }
      ratio = modifiedMatrix[curRow][curCol]/modifiedMatrix[tmp][curCol];
      modifiedMatrix = subtractRow(modifiedMatrix,curRow, tmp, size, ratio);
      identityMatrix = subtractRow(identityMatrix,curRow, tmp, size, ratio);
   }
  }
}

subtractRow is certainly implemented correctly as well as allocateMatrix. The matrix is always guaranteed to be invertible and square. matrix is passed in as a parameter. The issue is obviously with my 0 check, but I am not sure what is wrong with it. I would greatly appreciate any help.

A: I had been working on matrices lately, and the algorithm for converting a matrix to its row echelon was quite interesting.
You can view my code here!
Happy coding.

Gun sales could sky rocket if Obama is re-elected
Outdoor Life Share
Gun sales increased sharply following President Barack Obama's 2008 election. From Nov. 3-9 — the week Obama was elected — the FBI reported a 48-percent increase in requests for background checks for gun purchases than it received during the same period in 2007. The pattern has persisted through Obama's four years as President with firearms sales increasing steadily over previous comparable time frames. Business has been so good for Smith & Wesson, that the firearms manufacturer reports its net income for fiscal first quarter 2012 approached $19 million, up from $2.3 million a year ago, with sales soaring to a record $136 million, up 48 percent from 2011.

There is no such thing as 'gun-control'
Ammo Land Share
The question of whether or not more gun control is needed to prevent violence is often posed and hotly debated. Advocates both for and against are quick to debate and defend their positions. The question cannot be answered because the term "gun control" holds different definitions for both sides and because refers to a concept that strictly speaking does not exist. Advocates for "gun control" say it will prevent violence. Those opposed say it will serve only to infringe on the rights and liberties of free citizens. More
