Will Second-Ring Suburbs Choose Evolution or Decline?
Second-ring suburbs are at a crossroads, says Nathaniel Hood at Streets.mn. These aren't streetcar suburbs, but those that came after, where every home had a garage, the product of an era when driving was considered a symbol of American prosperity.
With infrastructure maintenance costs rising with age, and no room for more sprawl, these areas must either "build up" or face the possibility of decline, Hood says. But change is difficult. The Minneapolis second-ring suburb of Minnetonka recently had an opportunity to evolve, when presented with a plan for a mixed-use retail center. Instead the town conceded to NIMBY arguments against it, including concerns about parking and traffic.
Here in lies one of the biggest faults of suburbia: it's not designed to change. In mature cities, as land values increased, the intensity of development would follow. That's why downtown Minneapolis, which once had single family homes, now has blocks of towering skyscrapers. This change needs to occur.
Elsewhere on the Network today: Family Friendly Cities ponders why households with children are generally more dependent on cars. And Bike Portland reports the Oregon Department of Transportation has released a new app that will help it gather data on cycling in the state.

Year Walk
In the old days man tried to catch a glimpse of the future in the strangest of ways.
Games $3.99 Simogo AB iPhone, iPad, iPod
Experience the ancient Swedish phenomena of year walking through a different kind of first person adventure that blurs the line between two and three dimensions as well as reality and the supernatural.
Venture out into the dark woods where strange creatures roam, on a vision quest set in 19th century Sweden. Solve cryptic puzzles, touch and listen in your search to foresee the future and finally discover if your loved one will love you back.
Mysteries and clues await everywhere in Year Walk, but to fully understand the events that took place on that cold New Year's Eve, you will have to delve deeper than the adventure and lose yourself between fact and fiction.
For the complete Year Walk experience, or if you're curious about the folk lore on which Year Walk is based, we recommend downloading Year Walk Companion, available for free on the App Store.
"An iOS game like nothing else you've seen on the format to date.
This is a brave and truly original work"
Edge - 9/10
"Elegant and artful, Year Walk is an unmissable piece of work.
You can close the app and put down the phone, but the forest may spread beyond its glassy confines, its spindly, silver-skinned trees taking root in your own home, your own dreams."
Eurogamer - 9/10
"A game this distinctive, this different, this thrillingly new is the best possible demonstration of the format's versatility; indeed, of the narrative power of the interactive medium. Simogo has made something very special here."
The Telegraph - 5/5

I've never played anything quite like it."
Touch Arcade 5/5
"An incredible showcase for the potential of tablet games and will undoubtedly become influential over the next few years."
CVG - 9/10

This game consoles me whenever I play it.
Amazing and touching

Amazing! The combination of horror and mystery made the game all the better, and the puzzles were enjoyable, to say the least. I WOULD give this game a 5/5 star. The only problem I have... Is the length. The length of the game is definitely NOT worth $4. Other then that, good job!
Sound not working on iPhone SE

Interesting game and gorgeous aesthetic, but it's not working right.
I Have Returned
F33LGOODINC
I played this game years ago when it was first released, and just the other day thought about it though I couldn't remember what it was called! I searched through hundreds of my old apps that I had downloaded on the past and FINALLY found it. I vaguely remembered the game and actually couldn't remember how to solve any if the puzzles at all, which was a good thing in that it allowed me to play through the game again while having to really think! I loved it just as much the second time I played through, and I'm excited to read through the companion app. Congratulations on this game, I thoroughly loved it (again).
Instant Favorite—"Year Walk" is Fantastic.
lil skies is amazing
This is a stylistic, smart, beautifully designed horror game that delves deep into Swedish mythology. My only nitpick is that the game is too short, thus when you've gotten the hang of the puzzles and chosen to "walk again," "Year Walk" is easy to solve a second time and, thus, the gameplay is quicker. But these are probably the best $4 I've spent in the App Store. This game deserves a larger following and all the purchases it can. Its premise is original, the controls are smooth, the illustrations stunning, and the myths behind it are intriguing. This is among my favorite games, and my #1 iOs horror game hands down.
So short
felrose439
I give this 2 stars! I'm not very good at puzzle games, and yet, this game was over and done with in one after dinner sitting. There are maybe 4 puzzles to solve. Why would they charge for such a short game?
Good but too short and difficult
Ashely🦋
The game a really good and thought out. I loved the style and music. I think it was so cool to incorperate folklore into this game and I wish there were more games like this but there were a few issues. The game was really short and expensive. I'd understand the price if the game was longer but it's only a hour long, that is if you don't get too confused. And I wish that you could experience it for a little bit longer. The game was also VERY confusing and difficult. I was very stuck on the part when you follow the Huldra into the tree and ended up deleting the game 3-4 times to get a fresh start and make sure I didn't miss anything. I was also stuck on the part where you give the mylings to the kelpie (brook's horse) and ended up spending about an hour trying to get the mylings, and 2 days trying to get out of the tree thing. Although the game was great, it would've been better if it was longer, less expensive, or less difficult.
I would give a 4.8 to be more accurate if I could.

Cons: it's very easy to give into the temptation of looking for cheats when everything is confusing and you don't understand the background lore. This game is definitely hard when you first play it without any background knowledge. I recommend exploring your surroundings and the game thoroughly in your first go around without the sole intention of finishing the game. Pros:This game is beautiful and weaves an interesting narrative. My biggest regret is not trying to explore more and instead rushing towards the end when I initially played it. Every once in a while I download this game again. It's a great game and I 100% recommend it.
Honestly my favorite game ever
papercrispwhiskey
I wasn't lying in the title; this game is my absolute favorite and I will always come back to it. The story telling and the images bring forth a mystery that is accessible to all levels of theorist and game detective and conjures a strange world that I've gotten lost in every time I play. There isn't much replay-ability but even with the same story over and over it's still so much fun. The fact that it's accompanied by a "companion" app and several short stories just shows you how much dedication went into this game. I cant really articulate how much I love this game because I honestly just think it's perfect in its level of creepiness and strange beauty.

Up till quite recently, if you saw someone riding a bike in Christchurch there would have been a pretty good chance they would have been a male, aged 18-45, athletic, and dressed in a special outfit just for riding (lycra, hi-viz). In recent years we've realised that the reason no-one else rides bikes is mainly because they don't feel safe sharing roads with traffic. A big part of what we're doing around Christchurch now is aimed at changing that and building infrastructure that anyone can use. Designing for anyone aged 8-80 has been a goal of the cycleways.
It's purely anecdotal, but I reckon there is a noticeable shift in the types of people riding bikes in Christchurch, indicating that the approach is working. I've put together a selection of photos I've taken around town over the last couple of months.
On the school run I've noticed a lot of kids using the new cycleways. I've also noticed a lot are not on bikes, but on scooters and skateboards. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the new cycleways have more of these devices than they do bicycles using them.
Many are unaccompanied by parents, but plenty are accompanied too.
Parking at the local high school indicates a lot of kids biking and scootering to school.
Even where there are no cycleways kids are still biking/scootering. The recent "walk and wheel to school" promotion got lots of kids out and about – this was a few hundred metres down the road from the local primary school at about 8:45am. It's pretty obvious that we need safer footpaths and crossings in our neighbourhoods than what we have here.
More Mums and Dads are taking primary school kids to school on these chunky e-bikes.
More of these bike trailers are being used to ferry kids to and from the local pre-school.
I have a workmate who drops kids off, then carries on to work on this beast.
Getting away from the schools and closer to town, the demographic changes to this. Note that there's both females and males, a range of ages, and people are mostly just wearing regular clothes, not putting on special outfits for biking.
I see the odd oversized unicycle too (and this isn't even on the "Uni-Cycle" route!) – am interested to see if these catch on in a big way or not, or if we start seeing e-unicycles at all.
Of course there's the Lime scooters which are changing the way people view mobility in the city. People using these are almost always just normal looking people of a variety of ages, sexes and walks of life. No one dresses up in hi-viz or lycra for these.
Purely based on observations, I think the demographic of people riding bikes around Christchurch is changing from a small group of lycra-clad athletes, to now include people of all ages and all walks of life. The rise of scooters as similar travel option to bikes is also noticeable, and again the demographic of people using them is broad.
Have you noticed a change in the type of people riding bikes/scooters around Christchurch?
Two years on from the Papanui Parallel cycleway completion the transport modes mentioned above are very evident on the pathway through the Rutland Reserve, bikes of all descriptions , scooters, walkers. For the half hour prior and post school times there is real congestion as people make their way to the Paparoa Street School. Prior to the cycleway, access to the school from the north required a long walk/bike/scooter on rat-run infested streets, which are to a degree still busy with vehicles. But at least now 100's are choosing the quiet, safe and enjoyable route which means a social journey for all users. A better way to start the school day.
As one of the "lycra clad" that has cycled on a daily basis for the past 10 years, I would say most definitely. The biggest noticeable difference is you now need to thread your way through multiple cyclist if you want a fast getaway at the lights, and even then you are quite often beaten by an electric bike. It's great, more bikes mean less cars trying to take you out.
So, you admit to salmoning ? I find its best to wait your place in line at the lights and move up elsewhere. Commuting is not racing.
That said – chasing down an ebike on a non-ebike is kinda fun.
I am very pleased with the change in demographics in Chch! We organised an e-bike tour around the bays for my in-laws (all 4 over 60 y/o) last year. Now they all have purchased an e-bike and ride regularly for exercise that they otherwise wouldn't get. They make the most of it and ride with friends from Moana to the Marlborough Sounds now. Like elsewhere in the world e-bikes are getting people riding again! But we still need more safe infrastructure in Chch to get them using it regularly.
Anouk, do you mean Moana on Lake Brunner? What route do your in-laws take to get to Marlborough Sounds?

If the bill is signed by Gov. Jay Nixon, once a district becomes unaccredited, the state will have the option of leaving the current school board in charge or replacing it with a new governing structure. Kansas City Public Schools has been unaccredited since Jan. 1, 2012.
For the last two legislative sessions, lawmakers have tried to do away with the waiting period, but House leadership insisted on tying it to a more controversial measure regarding teacher tenure. The logjam finally broke Tuesday when a version of the bill sponsored by Rep. Jay Barnes, a Jefferson City Republican, won approval in the House on a 107-49 vote.
Despite the fact that the bill was originally designed as a response to the Kansas City district becoming unaccredited, the fact that it won't go into effect until Aug. 28 — during the school year — could mean it will have little impact in Kansas City.
In the nearly two years that lawmakers were trying to pass the bill, the Normandy School District in St. Louis County became unaccredited in January.

Q: Why does this for loop return a type 'list' I have the following code that generates all of the set partitions of a list/dictionary.
#partition gen

def partitions(set_):
    if not set_:
        yield []
        return
    for i in range(2**len(set_)//2):
        parts = [set(), set()]
        for item in set_:
            parts[i&1].add(item)
            i >>= 1
        for b in partitions(parts[1]):
            yield [parts[0]]+b

def get_partitions(set_):
    for partition in partitions(set_):
        yield [list(elt) for elt in partition]

What I want to know is why, when this for loop is run it returns a type list instead of  string
def brute_force(cows,limit=10):
    total_weight = 0
    for partition in get_partitions(cows):
        for cow in partition:
            print(type(cow))
brute_force(x)

When run it returns <class 'list'>

A: Method get_partitions yields lists
def get_partitions(set_):
    for partition in partitions(set_):
        yield [list(elt) for elt in partition] # <-- here

So, here cow is a list
def brute_force(cows,limit=10):
    total_weight = 0
    for partition in get_partitions(cows):
        for cow in partition:  # <-- here
            print(type(cow))
brute_force(x)

So, If you want strings, you should convert cow to string
def brute_force(cows,limit=10):
    total_weight = 0
    for partition in get_partitions(cows):
        for cow in partition:
            string_cow = "".join([str(c) for c in cow])
            print(string_cow)
brute_force({"betty":8,"john": 13, "mark":10})

Egypt Population 2023 (Live)
Egypt has a population of about 102 million people. According to current projections, Egypt's population is expected to double by 2078. The population is currently growing at a rate of 1.94%, a rate that adds about 2 million people to the population every year.
Egypt's fertility rate is about 3.3 births per woman, well above the population replacement rate of 2.1 births per woman. Egypt has a relatively young population, where about 60% of the population is under 30 years old.
The rapidly increasing population poses a threat to the Egyptian economy, where one-third of people live below the poverty line and the unemployment rate is around 10%.
Egypt Population Growth
Estimates made in 2012 predicted the population growth rate to be 1.922%, and a fertility rate of 2.94 children born per woman, the latter in line with South Asian and Middle Eastern averages. Besides these factors contributing to growth rate, there has been a general boom in population immigration and medical advances, although the recent political and military conflicts have caused a negative growth rate.
Egypt Population Projections
Egypt's population is generally rising at an extremely progressive rate, which is causing concern within the government, and an increase in expenditure on family planning policies. However, scholars are questioning this move of the government, as they believe that the high fertility rate and population growth are no longer serious concerns. This is true to the extent that, though the fertility rate is high, it has fallen in the previous years. This can be proved by statistics that show a decrease from 7.2 children per woman in the early 1960's to 3.4 children per woman in 1998. This rate has maintained itself even twenty years later, where it stands at 3.47 children per woman in 2018.
There is no doubt about the fact that Egypt's population has been and will keep increasing as stabilization returns to the county, with forecasts predicting a total population of 123.5 million in 2050.

Egypt Area and Population Density
Cairo alone, which is the capital city of Egypt, has a population of around 10.902 million people (according to estimations made in 2009). The population density of Egypt as a whole is 84 people per square kilometer (218/square mile), with Cairo having the heaviest density at 46,349 per kilometer square. Overall, Egypt ranks 126th in the world in terms of population density.
Largest Cities in Egypt
After Nigeria and Ethiopia, Egypt is the most populated country on the African continent. A majority of the population lives near the banks of the Nile River, which amasses an area of 40,000 square kilometers. This area is the only arable land found in the country. The three largest cities of the country are Cairo, Alexandria, and Giza.

Egypt Population Pyramid
Egypt, known officially as the Arab Republic of Egypt, is a transcontinental country which spans the southwest corner of Asia and the northeast corner of Africa. This is made possible through a land bridge formed by the Sinai Peninsula. Most of Egypt is located in North Africa. It is bordered by both land and sea: the Mediterranean is to its North, Israel and the Gaza Strip to the Northeast, the Gulf of Aqaba to its East, the Red Sea to the East and South, Libya to the West and Sudan to the South.
Egypt Demographics
Ethnic Egyptians account for 91% of the total population. The largest ethnic minorities include the Turks, Greeks, Abazas, and Bedouin Arab tribes in the Sinai Peninsula and the deserts to the east, as well as the Siwis in the Siwa Oasis and the Nubian people along the Nile.
The official language is Arabic, while other widely understood and spoken languages by the upper classes include English and French.
Approximately 2.7 million Egyptians are found living abroad, as estimated by the International Organization for Migration. These include the Arab countries, like Saudi Arabia, Libya, Jordan and Kuwait, where 70% of the Egyptian immigrants reside. The rest of the 30% inhabit Europe and North America (90,000 in Italy, 110,000 in Canada and 318,000 in the United States). Constituting 91%, Ethnic Egyptians are the leading group of Egypt's population.
Egypt Religion, Economy and Politics
Life expectancy at birth in Egypt in 2012 was estimated at 72.93 years for the total population, with 70.33 years for the male population, and 75.66 years for the female population. The birth rate was of 24.22 births for 1000 people, and the death rate of 4.8 deaths for 1000 people.
In 2018, the median age of the population reached 23.9 years, with a total life expectancy of 73 years, according to the World Factbook. We can see a slow, but seemingly consistent improvement in this area as time passes.
According to estimates made in 2012, middle-aged people of 25 to 54 years dominate the age structure at 38.1%, with the least being from 65 years and above at 4.7%. Sex ratio in 2011 was calculated as: at birth (1.05 males/females), under 15 years (1.05 males/females), from 15 to 64 years (1.03 males/females) and 65 years and above (0.82 males/females).
As of 2017 estimates, this population age structure is now at 37.6% 25-54 years of age, 4.22% for 65 plus years of age, and a staggering 52.23 % of the population is under the age of 25. That's a slight increase in the working age population and a slight decrease in the elderly population.
Total education expenditures in 2008 constituted 3.8% of GDP, while health expenditures made in 2009 amounted 6.4% of GDP). In 2012, net migration was -0.2 migrants for 1000 people. The literacy rate calculated in 2010 gave a figure of 72% of the total population; 63.5% females and 80.3% males.
In 2010, Egypt's urban population constituted 43.4% of its urban population. Currently, the rate of urbanization is 2.1% at an annual rate of change. 99.6% of the total population's ethnicity was Egyptian, while others amounted to 0.4% in the 2006 census. The dominating religion in the country is that of Islam at 90% (mostly Sunnis); Christianity is at 10% while Judaism is practiced by fewer than 200 people. The Bahai community of fewer than 2000 individuals is not even recognized by the government.
Egypt Population History
From 1970 to 2010, there was a population boom due to advancements in agricultural productivity and medical fields, which were made possible due to [the Green Revolution](https://www.jpost.com/Jerusalem-Report/The-Region/Egypts-other-green-revolution). When Napoleon Bonaparte invaded Egypt in 1798, the country's population amounted to only 3 million. Over the years, the population has increased and decreased, due to erratic fluctuation patterns.
The population growth rate during every five years is given as: 1980 to 1985 was estimated at 2.39%, 1985 to 1990 at 2.30%, 1990 to 1995 at 1.76%, 1995 to 2000 at 1.72%, 2000 to 2005 at 1.85% and during 2005 to 2010 at 1.78%. Life expectancy at birth rose by 14.7 years from the period 1980 to 1985, to the period 2005 to 2010, increasing from 57.6 years to 72.3 years. The infant mortality rate was estimated at 101.1 infant deaths per 1000 live births; however this number has been decreasing as the years have progressed. In 2018, the infant mortality rate is at 19 deaths per 1000 live births.

Landscaping is the home décor part that often pulls at your patience. Everything takes time to grow and become the elaborate picture you have in mind. When you begin working on your lawn, your trees are small and growing.
With time, as the trees increases in length, you notice the grass under the trees deteriorating. You wonder how you can grow grass in the shade. Well, stress no more, here is how you go about it.
Grass needs four hours of sunlight to thrive. When trees are younger, they have no shade allowing the grass its fill on sunshine. However, when the trees develop a shade, the grass under the trees is deprived of the sun.
The key to keeping your trees neat and healthy is pruning. Subsequently, pruning will help the grass growing under the tree. Once you take away the thick branches, sun rays can make their way to the grass providing ample sunlight for growth.
When pruning lawn trees, thin the canopy and "limb up" the tree by removing the lower branches. Don't prune your trees if you don't know how to, speak with an arborist instead.
When it comes to grass, it's not a one size fits all. Not all grass seeds will grow on your lawn. It is essential to get the right seeds that will thrive in your area. Remember, you need to consider how cold or warm your region is before picking grass seeds.
Also, there are grass seeds like St. Augustine grass that will grow in the shade. These seeds adapt to areas with a shade better than open spaces.
Grass needs water to survive, therefore, watering your grass is a sure way of getting good grass on your lawn. However, it is also imperative that you know when to water the grass.
from the soil. With such trees, you need to water more often.
For photosynthesis to take place, grass needs sunlight. Without sunlight under the tree, photosynthesis takes longer which stunts the growth of the grass. To combat this, leave the grass under the tree at least half an inch longer than the grass in open places.
Reason being, the more space on the leaves you allow, the bigger the area on the blade that photosynthesis can occur.
Nutrients are essential for the growth of grass as well as the health. If you want rich, green leaves that are not droopy, you need to fertilize your grass. Sunlight and water are not the only necessities for the growth of your lawn grass.
However, don't over-fertilize your grass either since this kills the roots of the plant.
Aerating your lawn can also improve its overall health by supplying more oxygen, fertilizer, and water to its roots. The aeration process involves removing the thatch, along with small plugs of grass and soil, creating the perfect conditions for growth.
At the same time, your professional lawn aeration contractor will determine if your lawn could benefit from overseeding. A couple of weeks after the aeration, the plugs that have been removed break down, supplying additional nutrients to the soil. Eventually, grass re-grows in these spots and the rest of the lawn flourishes.
The secret behind growing grass in the shade is ensuring that the grass is sufficiently nourished. Therefore, you should pull out any weeds creeping up to steal nutrients and minerals from the grass.
Allow your lawn to grow without having to compete for water, nutrients, and minerals with other weeds.
No one celebrates an uneven lawn with grass patches in some areas. Therefore, take good care of your grass. Adhering to these tips is a sure way to get your lawn to drool-worthy.
If you are looking for commercial building landscaping ideas, be sure to contact the best experts around your locality.

Embracing the complexity of genomic data for personalized medicine.
Numerous recent studies have demonstrated the use of genomic data, particularly gene expression signatures, as clinical prognostic factors in cancer and other complex diseases. Such studies herald the future of genomic medicine and the opportunity for personalized prognosis in a variety of clinical contexts that utilizes genome-scale molecular information. The scale, complexity, and information content of high-throughput gene expression data, as one example of complex genomic information, is often under-appreciated as many analyses continue to focus on defining individual rather than multiplex biomarkers for patient stratification. Indeed, this complexity of genomic data is often--rather paradoxically--viewed as a barrier to its utility. To the contrary, the complexity and scale of global genomic data, as representing the many dimensions of biology, must be embraced for the development of more precise clinical prognostics. The need is for integrated analyses--approaches that embrace the complexity of genomic data, including multiple forms of genomic data, and aim to explore and understand multiple, interacting, and potentially conflicting predictors of risk, rather than continuing on the current and traditional path that oversimplifies and ignores the information content in the complexity. All forms of potentially relevant data should be examined, with particular emphasis on understanding the interactions, complementarities, and possible conflicts among gene expression, genetic, and clinical markers of risk.

The Answer thinks there are still more shots to be taken
By Matt MooreJun 18, 2010, 1:22 PM EDT
Allen Iverson was supposed to be through.
After a season where he had significant trouble finding a willing team to take him on, only to settle with Memphis, then ditch Memphis when things didn't go his way, then headed to Philly where he was largely ineffectual, then leaving the team due to significant health problems with his daughter, the Answer was supposed to have been answered. The game was up, time to move on.
But not ti looks like we may be looking at another season of turnovers and ill-advised jumpshots as we watch his legacy fall further and further into nothingness.
Iverson's personal manager told the AP that he was working out and that he will "absolutely" try to play next year.
This, quite honestly is not a good idea.
Iverson's ability to contribute was always built on ISO scoring sets where he would do something amazing. But age has robbed him of his quickness and speed, and the jumpshot is broken in such an amazing fashion that the rim is actually considering suing him for break of contract. This latest comeback idea is simply not advisable. The fates have directed him to call it a career. And while getting that last ring would put an ample positive stamp on his career, no contending team is going to have a need for an aging undersized shooting guard masquerading as a point guard that can't pass and demands a starting job.
Those just really aren't in high demand. Iverson's drive and will to compete are admirable. But even in a year with so many suitors with loads of cash, you have to wonder if Iverson will end up at the bottom of the bargain pile again.

Q: Why defining a variable inside a struct doesn't cause link errors? struct foo{
   int bar1 = 5;
   const static int bar2 = 6;
};

Sharing foo using a header file among multiple translation units doesn't cause a link error for bar1 and bar2, why is that?
To my knowledge, bar1 doesn't even exist until an instance of foo is created and each instance of bar1 will have unique symbol, so no link errors can happen. bar2 is not even a definition, it's a declaration with initializer and needs to be initialized with const int foo::bar2; in only one file so again no link errors can happen.
Referring to this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/11301299
Is my understanding correct?

A: As long as foo::bar2 is not odr-used, there is nothing wrong with the program. You can even use foo::bar2 in ways that are not odr-uses, and it will be fine. For example:
std::cout << foo::bar2 + 1;  // prints 7

This is because foo::bar2 in this expression can simply be replaced with its compile-time constant value of 6. It is not required to have an address, therefore its definition is not required to exist.
As soon as you odr-use foo::bar2 without having provided a definition, the program becomes ill-formed, no diagnostic required. Usually, this will cause a link error. You can see it for example in code like this:
std::vector<int> v;
v.push_back(foo::bar2);

This is an odr-use of foo::bar2 because push_back takes its argument by reference, necessitating the existence of its address. The program will probably not build unless an out-of-line definition of foo::bar2 is provided somewhere.

A: Violations of The One Definition Rule do not require a diagnostic or a compiler error.
Presuming that bar2 is referenced in some translation unit: some compilers may successfully compile and link the resulting code. Other compilers may not and reject it (presumably at the linking stage). The C++ standard indicates that this is ill-formed, but a formal compiler diagnostic is not mandatory. That's just what the C++ standard says.
The reason why some compilers may let this skate is because they'll inline all the references to the static class member, hence there won't be any unresolved references that produce a failure at the link stage.

Maths cash proves good solution;Briefing;Hot data
By Tes Editorial
THIS autumn there is some good news on teacher-training numbers. The Government and the Teacher Training Agency will be pleased to see increases in applications in several shortage subjects.
The biggest increases, albeit from last year's low numbers, are in maths and sciences. These are the subjects where Department for Education and Employment intervention last November resulted in the re-introduction of cash payments to applicants. These payments supplement the TTA's own support scheme, operated by course providers.
Other subjects where applications are higher than last year include information technology, music and geography. Music has done especially well this year with applications up by nearly 20 per cent. Geography is back to the application levels of 1996, after recruiting poorly last year.
Some subjects are still attracting fewer applications than last year. Foreign language PGCE courses, where the Prime Minister has announced that additional support will be available for students starting in 2000, are some 5 per cent below application levels for this time last year, and the worst for at least six years. Other subjects where applications are still behind last year's include English, history and art.
Apart from art, these subjects still attract enough students to ensure that all places will be filled, fortunately. But one might question a recruitment strategy that places a premium only on certain subjects.

On Monday, Yahoo released an Android personalization app that could strengthen its mobile portfolio. Yahoo Aviate is the result of the company's acquisition of Aviate earlier in January, the Android app allows tweaking the homescreen based on what users are doing.
The version launched is available for Android device owners globally, though it only supports English as of now. Aviate makes use of things like Wi-Fi, GPS, accelerometer, and time to surface such information. Marissa Mayer, the CEO of Yahoo, said Aviate could help Yahoo transfer content in a discerning and more personalized manner.
Yahoo said that the new-and-improved homescreen simplifies everything about the phone. It shows weather and news apps all through the morning, productivity apps while at work, music apps while the user is driving. It has a new interface, with organized apps that offers intelligent information based on user's habits and preferences.
Additionally Aviate can also give weather alerts if the weather is significantly different today than it was yesterday, which would help the user to dress appropriately. It will also enable user's to join conference calls with a single tap or send email to people if they are running late to a meeting. Aviate will also get an estimate of travel times based on traffic and also includes ways to text or call friends and family. A swipe up on the home screen will find icons for people, who the user speaks with frequently on the phone or through texting.
Yahoo has added a lot of new resources to Aviate, and since the acquisition the company has grown from seven to 25 people. Aviate founder Paul Montoy-Wilson and co-founder Mark Daiss want to ensure that the company consolidate content that is best for its users and not necessarily just created by Yahoo.
The Aviate update will be for Android 4.0 and higher and will be available in the Google Play Store. Other additional features include a way to track sleep as well as one-swipe access to routine habits like alarm clock, calendar, and a twice-daily news summary by Yahoo News.
It seems like most of the technology companies including Facebook to Yahoo are racing ahead to figure out ways to dominate the homescreen. Yahoo knows how important it is for the app to be just as dynamic as the home screen, and users can expect many more updates and changes that will be coming soon to Yahoo Aviate.

Taste of Globe was created when a group of friends came up with an idea to collect the most interesting content from all corners of the globe and share it with everyone.
We were always curious to find out what type of food people in other countries and on different continents eat, to learn about places they like to visit or video games they play, and finally to get an insight into their daily lives.
It always takes a lot of time visiting a variety of websites to get the information we wanted, so we started thinking that it had to be a better way.
There had to be a place on the internet where we could find all the things we wanted. As we quickly discovered, there wasn't any.
Some websites came close, but none of them exactly matched the thing we, and other curious people like us, looked for. So we decided to build one by ourselves.
We hope you'll enjoy reading the content on Taste of Globe as much as we enjoy making it. Join us at Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, and help us celebrate the curiosity.

Esteem Medi Spa's Total Facial Rejuvenation (TFR) Program is an education and treatment plan designed for those seeking reliable options to repair, prevent and manage their ageing process and their changing skin.
Esteem Medi Spa provides a thorough consultation and an individualised treatment program outlining a combination of Anti-wrinkle and Dermal Filler injections, Skincare and Skin Treatments.
An initial consultation is necessary to discuss your concerns and the signs of the ageing skin to then develop a treatment plan for your short and long term goals. During this process we will identify the right treatment choice for the patient. We will examine the lines on the skin and decide what anti wrinkle injection dosage would work best and which muscles should be targeted. This will allow you to learn more about what you can expect from dermal fillers to restore lost volume and how the procedure is performed. Patients are welcome to ask any questions during the consultation. The professional will be able to answer any queries, so patients can make an informed decision about proceeding the treatments.
Depending on the "treating areas" a combination of various cosmetic procedures including anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers will be used that will provide a complete rejuvenation. This treatment could potentially be all done at the same time or in stages, as our professional team will advise you. There is minimal downtime associated with all of these procedures and patients are free to return to normal activity. The full results of the procedure can take a few days from the treatment session with some results seen instantly, smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles and restoring lost volume.
Anti-wrinkle injections and Dermal fillers are delivered through a fine needle approach. This will be administered into the overactive muscles or to the area needing more volume. The patient may experience a slight stinging sensation during the treatment. There is minimal downtime associated with treatment, patients may see a slight swelling and redness around the injection site, though this will fade within 24 hours of treatment.
The patient is free to leave the clinic straight away and return to their daily routine when they are ready.
All of Esteem Medi Spa's Doctors, Registered Nurses and Clinicians are trained by our resident Plastic Surgeon Dr Terrence Scamp.

Demi Moore Looks Back at Her 'Painful' Marriage to Bruce Willis
by Simone Torn linkedin | More Articles: Entertainment
Bruce Willis and Demi Moore were once labeled "the hottest couple in Hollywood." But as time passed, things became tumultuous, and their marriage slowly began to fall apart. And according to Moore, while her professional life was soaring, her personal life was "painful." This was all because of her crumbling relationship with the Die Hard actor, who no longer wished to be married to Moore.

Bruce Willis and Demi Moore were once the perfect couple
Before all the trouble arose in their relationship, Willis and Moore had a solid marriage. They couldn't seem to keep their hands off of each other in the beginning stages of their marriage, and whenever Moore was feeling down, Willis would be right there to lift her spirits.

In Moore's memoir, Inside Out, she talks about her struggle with body image and how Willis comforted her during one of her low points.
"One day, we were hanging out by the beach at Bruce's house with his friends, and I took his jet ski out for a spin," she writes. "Someone with a long lens got pictures of me in a bathing suit- looking fat- which then, of course, became a major topic of the tabloids, confirming all my worst fears and stoking the excruciating fire of my eating disorder. I was miserable, but Bruce insisted that he thought everything about me was beautiful: he wrapped my fear and anxiety in his love."

But the honeymoon period in their relationship didn't last for long. As time passed, Willis became unpredictable in their marriage, and Moore began to suspect her husband of cheating.
"When he left to film Hudson Hawk, things were in a very precarious state," she writes. "I went over to visit once, and, frankly, I had the feeling that he had screwed around. It was tense, and it was weird, and there was just stuff that didn't seem kosher."
Another troubling aspect in their marriage was the fact that they had completely different values when it came to raising children. While Willis wanted Moore to stay home and look after the kids, Moore had no intentions of giving up her one true passion: acting.

And during the height of her stardom, her marriage with Willis became almost unbearable.
"My professional life was soaring," she writes. "My personal life was painful…"
She then explains how Willis dropped a bombshell on her, saying, "I don't know if I want to be married."
Demi Moore thinks Bruce Willis began to regret marrying her

Demi Moore Says She's 'More Connected' To Bruce Willis Now Than When They Were Married
According to Moore's memoir, she thinks Willis began to regret his decision to rush into a marriage so quickly with Moore. Although he was the one to push Moore into marrying him, he began to crave a sense of freedom years into their union.
"Bruce and I had met, married, had a baby, and just done a lot, very quickly," she writes. "It was as if he woke up a few years later and thought, whoa, is this what I want? Or do I really want to be free?"
"He was struggling to resolve a conflict within himself," she writes. "He wanted family and grounding, but he also craved excitement and novelty. Basically, he wanted to do whatever the f*ck he wanted."

{"_t":1505366071,"_p":"vertigo@test.com","_n":"added_to_team","account":"1234"}

I'm using Apache Spark in my java application in order to read this json file and save to parquet format.
If I didn't use schema definition then there is no problem with file parsing
There is my code example:
Dataset<Row> dataset = spark.read().json(pathToFile);
dataset.show(100);

And there is my console output:
+-------------+------------------+----------+-------+-------+-----------+
|           _n|                _p|        _t|account|channel|device_type|
+-------------+------------------+----------+-------+-------+-----------+
|   app_loaded| rattenbt@test.com|1480647647|   null|   null|    desktop|
|   app_loaded| rattenbt@test.com|1480647676|   null|   null|    desktop|
|   app_loaded| rattenbt@test.com|1483161958|   null|   null|    desktop|
|   app_loaded| rattenbt@test.com|1483162393|   null|   null|    desktop|
|   app_loaded| rattenbt@test.com|1483499947|   null|   null|    desktop|
|added_to_team|   pfitza@test.com|1505361824|   1234|   null|       null|
|added_to_team|    konit@test.com|1505362047|   1234|   null|       null|
...

When I'm using schema definition like this
StructType schema = new StructType();
schema.add("_n", StringType, true);
schema.add("_p", StringType, true);
schema.add("_t", TimestampType, true);
schema.add("account", StringType, true);
schema.add("channel", StringType, true);
schema.add("device_type", StringType, true);
// Read data from file
Dataset<Row> dataset = spark.read().schema(schema).json(pathToFile);
dataset.show(100);

I got console output :
++
||
++
||
||
||
||
...

What's wrong with schma definition?

A: StrutType is immutable, so just discard all additions. If you print it
schema.printTreeString

you'll see it doesn't contain any field:
root

You should use:
StructType schema = new StructType()
  .add("_n", StringType, true)
  .add("_p", StringType, true)
  .add("_t", TimestampType, true)
  .add("account", StringType, true)
  .add("channel", StringType, true)
  .add("device_type", StringType, true);

After a few nights in Pittsburgh, I returned to the eastern side tonight. Figured a bit of food and a beer or two would be in order. A quick survey of the house and figured TJs would be the more expedient way to a satisfying combo of the two. But, as is usually the way at TJs...a gracious owner, a congenial bartender, and some usual suspects can quickly turn an innocent hour long dinner into a mini-fest. I'm still not quite sure what happened but appreciate all who were involved. Check out the picture below for further evidence from one of the Philly region's best beer bars.

President Ivan Duque.
Duque goes on 'spiritual retreat' as Colombia's ELN rebels continue three-day terror campaign
by Adriaan Alsema February 16, 2020
Colombia's President Ivan Duque will be on a "spiritual retreat" on Sunday as ELN rebels are terrorizing significant parts of the country in their fiercest "armed strike" in years.
On the second day of their three-day attempt to shut down the country, guerrillas injured a bus driver and allegedly killed at least one soldier on Saturday.
The soldier was killed by a sniper allegedly belonging to the ELN in the northeastern Catatumbo region.
According to local media, the bus driver was injured when the rebels began setting fire to the vehicle while he was letting passengers off the bus on the highway connecting the capital Bogota to the Caribbean coast.
The incident took place close to where the ELN rebels injured at least five policemen in a shootout in the Cesar province on Friday.
At least 5 policemen injured in first 24 hours of ELN rebels' 'armed strike'
Locals from Curumani, also in Cesar, reported two explosions behind the local police station in a presumed ELN attack. No injuries were reported.
Attacks on police stations were also reported in Fortul and Arauquita, two towns in Arauca where the guerrilla has a strong presence.
Public life in guerrilla-controlled regions throughout Colombia has come to a halt. Entire cities have turned into ghost towns as nobody dares to defy the guerrilla order to stay inside.

— Mónica Ramos (@RamosMonica8) February 16, 2020
Multiple residents and local media from guerrilla-controlled territories have said that also the police are obeying guerrilla orders not to go out in the street.
Duque announces "spiritual retreat" in midst of guerrilla assault
In a jaw-dropping turn of events, the President's Office told media on Friday that President Ivan Duque will be on a "spiritual retreat" from Sunday until Monday instead of attending the security crisis.
At the presidential holiday home in Hato Grande, Cundinamarca, Duque and some of his ministers "will evaluate the achievements of the first 18 months of management and review the National Government's targets for 2020," according to the president's website.
Duque has avoided the press like the plague since Friday, the first day of the national strike.
Instead of the commander-in-chief, Defense Minister Carlos Holmes Trujillo has been in charge of the security forces' response to the guerrilla assaults from the military headquarters in the capital Bogota.
"May God protect us"
Reliable reports of the ELN's "armed strike" are difficult to obtain as guerrillas have not just threatened transport companies and shops, but also at least one local journalist who was forced to flee from his home town Arauca to Bogota.
National media are largely ignoring the terror campaign that is mainly affecting residents of rural areas that have historically been neglected by the state.
No one is talking about the armed strike in Colombia. The media have said little. In Curumani the tension is terrible. People are locked up. There is a lot of fear here in the village. Armed men ordered all commercial establishments to be closed and informed all the people to lock themselves in and that nobody was allowed outside. About 20 minutes ago there were two loud explosions, they threw two grenades at the police station. Everyone please be very careful. May God protect us in times like this.
Curumani resident
While the president is enjoying his spiritual retreat and security forces seem powerless, residents in ELN-controlled territory will have to endure the guerrilla terror until Monday 6AM when the armed strike is lifted.
