You'd think that spotting a category 5 hurricane would never be difficult. But when the hurricane is in a global climate model that spans several decades, it becomes a fleeting wisp among mountains of data.
That's a problem. As scientists develop ever-more sophisticated computer models to predict the effects of climate change, one of the things they'll look for are changes in the frequency of extreme weather events such as hurricanes and heavy precipitation. The more data generated by models, however, the more difficult it is to quantify these rare but potent events.
What's needed is an automated way to quickly comb through a climate simulation's huge dataset and tally the weather events that spell big trouble. A team of researchers that includes scientists from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) are developing techniques to do just that.
The research is led by fellow Berkeley Lab scientists Wes Bethel, Bill Collins and Michael Wehner, and includes scientists from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and the University of California at Berkeley. Prabhat is presenting examples of their work Thursday morning (Dec. 8) at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco (8:30 a.m., room 102).
In one example, the scientists began with a recent run of the Community Atmospheric Model (CAM5), which is the latest in a series of global atmosphere models developed primarily at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. The high-resolution simulation spanned from 1979 to 2005 and is being used to demonstrate how well the model reproduces observed tropical cyclones. It was conducted on Hopper, a Cray XE6 supercomputer at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC), which is located at Berkeley Lab.
Some typical atmospheric river events detected by the new method from the observational dataset. Shown is total column integrated precipitable water in millimeters. Note that data irregularities in the satellite measurements (such as the abrupt discontinuities in the 2007-12-04 event) do not have an adverse effect on the detection procedure.
The 27-year simulation generated 100 terabytes of data. In comparison, as of September 2011, the Library of Congress has collected about 254 terabytes of data.
To detect the hurricanes and cyclones in this simulation, the scientists used code from a model that tracks the intensity of hurricanes and cyclones, and adapted it to run in parallel on large datasets. In this case, the technique churned through the CAM5 simulation in two hours using 7000 cores at NERSC. It successfully quantified the hurricanes that appear in the simulation. The same process would have taken 583 days on a conventional desktop computer.
In another example, the scientists developed a pattern-detection algorithm that sifts through large datasets for a weather phenomenon called an atmospheric river. These are narrow corridors of water vapor that occur at mid-latitudes around the world. People who live on the Pacific coast of North America may know the phenomenon as a pineapple express, which channels moisture from the Hawaiian Islands to the west coast. These powerful storms can bring torrential rain, floods, and damaging wind.
The scientists used techniques from image processing and topological analysis to extract the telltale features of atmospheric rivers from satellite images and climate models. They then implemented these techniques in a massively parallel fashion on a supercomputer platform to automatically detect these events in large datasets.
They applied this software to satellite images from 2002 to 2010 and atmospheric modeling data from 1979 to 1993, representing 640 gigabytes of data in all. The software processed this data in about three seconds using 8500 cores on the NERSC Hopper system, and detected 92 percent of the atmospheric rivers that made landfall. The same process would have taken several hours on a conventional desktop computer.

Martin Laird Shooting For First PGA Tour Win in Florida
- By Dorian Netolicky on March 27, 2011 17:05 GMT
Martin Laird shot 70 in the third round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Florida to take a two shot lead over Spencer Levin as he looks to get his first career PGA Tour victory.
The Scotsman had a decent round on Saturday to hold the lead after he shot 65 on Friday vaulting him to the top of the leaderboard. Laird had it to 12-under early in the back nine on Saturday, but struggled a bit down the stretch finishing his round at 11-under.
Laird now has his third quality chance of 2011 to get his first win after contending most recently in Tampa at the Transitions Championship and before that at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.
Putting him at (5-6) may be wishful thinking, but one would think Laird is going to break through one of these days, and that could come very soon, as he's had a number of chances recently and it's only a matter of time before he learns how to win.
Spencer Levin, at (9-2), sits alone in second and he'll have to bounce back after a rocky finish to his third round where he bogeyed the par-4 15th and then made a mess of the par-5 16th for his second straight bogey after dumping his third shot in the water.
Levin is three shots over par on the final six holes over the last two rounds and it could be the closing stretch is getting in his head which could hamper his chances in a close finish.
Bubba Watson, currently sitting at (13-2), is four off the lead in a tie for third with Steve Marino at 7-under and he's got some work ahead of him if he wants to snag his second victory of the season.
With Laird playing relatively tidy golf, Watson will need to keep his considerable length in the fairway if he wants to make the kind of run it's probably going to take to catch the leader as he hit just 57% of the fairways in round three.
Marino, meanwhile, was able to find the fairway regularly in the third round, but it was his ball striking that went awry as he only managed a 71 on Saturday hitting just 10 of 18 greens. Even though he's tied for third, Marino has garnered little support heading to the final round at (12-1).

Q: CMS For College Let's say you need to rewrite a university website, the key feature being the ability to give certain users permission to edit certain parts of the site, and the editing would all have to happen in-browser.
I've been searching around, looking at various CMSs that fit the build here, but I'm wondering what your opinions are.
So, if you were to have to rewrite the system i described above, what CMS would you use? If none fit the build, would you suggest rolling your own instead?

A: My immediate reaction was: WordPress. It's currently at 3.1.2 and is a far cry from the simple blogging software it started as. Starting with V3 it took a strong step toward being a CMS. Its multisite feature supports multiple-sub-websites (e.g. for different departments), and it has reasonable support for role-based ACL. It has built-in WYSIWYG editing, and something over 12,000 extensions to had various types of functionality.
Something to remember is that many college sites are being supported by "whoever hasn't graduated yet." This makes long-term maintainability of the core code an important consideration. This is another check in the Win column for WP.
One word of warning: only consider themes that are strongly oriented toward V3+. Also note that themes are more than just a paint job -- they can add major chunks of task-specific functionality. Once you commit to using a theme you may find it challenging to switch to another without a certain amount of local customization.
WordPress is not perfect, but it may be everything you need. Check it out. It's free, extensible, and you clan play with it over a weekend and get a feel for how well it solves your problem.

A: Your stated requirement is surely available in almost any CMS you care to mention.

Q: db4o and OSGi - empty database after restart I'm using db4o 6.4.54 in OSGi environment as a model storage. Every time I restart OSGi framework, the database appears to be empty, although the file is there and not empty definitely.
I have the following configuration:
A core bundle, which depends on the standard db4o_osgi bundle provided by db4o. An UI bundle, which depends on the core plugin, from where it gets the model.
The core bundle creates in-memory server via openServer(String, 0) method and then create separate clients for each request/thread.
The problem is that, every time the db4o server is created, queries returns no result.
I tried to use the service, but it also didn't work.
The next step in my testing was to include the db4o directly into my bundle and it worked (the effect was that db4o classes are loaded by the same classloader as the model object, which I stored into the database). There is one post in the db4o forum [1], but it fails to explain why this problem exists and how it should be solved (correctly). I'll continue my investigations, but I wonder whether anyone else have tuckle this problem before me?

A: Did you commit the changes and close the client connection up on shutting down the osgi bundle?
E.g.: sth like
ObjectContainer client;

public void start(BundleContext context) throws Exception {
   client = Db4oClientServer.openClient(...);
}

public void stop(BundleContext context) throws Exception {
   if (!client.ext().isClosed())
      client.close();
}

Or look into my standalone Db4oServer which could recieve a message 'STOP' from a client to be stopped.

AHA Sues HHS Over RACs: Reaction Swift, Unambiguous
As is to be expected, reaction to the news that the American Hospital Association (AHA) had filed suit against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HSS) on Thursday was swift and unambiguous.
Four hospital systems, including those in Michigan, Missouri, and Pennsylvania, joined in the suit that accuses HHS of refusing to reimburse hospitals for what it described as "reasonable and necessary care" when the recovery auditors believed that inpatient care should have been provided in an outpatient setting.
"The lawsuit by the AHA challenges CMS' policy of refusing to reimburse hospitals full Part B reimbursement for short-stay cases that are denied as being provided in the wrong setting—inpatient as opposed to outpatient," explained healthcare attorney Andrew Wachler, managing partner of Wachler & Associates, in a written statement to RACmonitor. Wachler has been a longtime advocate of full reimbursement for Part B claims.
"After several years of trying to work cooperatively with CMS to ensure that hospitals receive full Part B reimbursement for medically necessary services provided to hospital patients, the AHA has filed a lawsuit in an effort to obtain relief for its hospital members."
The issue of recovery auditors retrospectively challenging medical decisions made by physicians was another hot-button issue addressed by the AHA in its suit against the government.
"Doctors and nurses provide the best care possible using their medical judgment and training," said Rich Umbdenstock, president and CEO of the AHA, in a news release issued Thursday and posted on the AHA's website. "Allowing government auditors to second-guess these difficult medical decisions about where to best treat a patient years later based on a cold record and then refuse to pay for that care is indefensible."
Providers speaking with RACmonitor were quick to concur with the AHA on what has long been a contentious issue of having claims reviewed by the RACs long after medical services had been provided.
"The Recovery Audit Contractor program should not be permitted to overrule a professional provider's decision years after the care has been rendered, based solely on a 'cold paper record,'" Taryn Schraad, RHIT, the audit and appeals specialist for Lawrence Memorial Hospital in Lawrence, Kansas, told RACmonitor in a written statement. "Recouping earned and deserved payment from providers for delivered care and services is unacceptable," Schraad argued. "Not only does this process cause organizational hardship and burden, but it ultimately deprives hospitals and communities of financial resources necessary for improvements in healthcare facilities and services."
Retrospective reviews drew the ire of Mike Jamrog, the compliance and privacy officer for McLaren Bay Region in Michigan.
"The concept of coming back in three or four years and reviewing a select group of high-paying procedures and saying they don't meet inpatient criteria, and taking back full reimbursement, is criminal," said Jamrog in a written statement to RACmonitor. "CMS wants things both ways," he argued. "That's why the administrative Law Judges (ALJ) have been causing CMS such problems by granting Part B reimbursement including observation services."
The Part A versus Part B issue has been smoldering for quite some time and continues to be a dilemma for providers, prompting this reaction from Wachler:
"It is unclear what CMS' formal policy really is. In the most recent RAC Statement of Work, the RAC is only supposed to collect the difference between the Part A and Part B reimbursement and is only entitled to a contingency payment on this differential."
Wachler goes on to note that ALJs, in his words, "regularly award full Part B payment to hospitals that appeal Part A denials as the wrong setting."
"Additionally," argues Wachler, "the complaint cites four Medicare Appeals Council cases that support full Part B reimbursement when Part A reimbursement is denied as the wrong setting."
Wachler notes a memo from CMS dated July 13, 2012: "CMS instructs contractors to honor ALJ orders that require the payment of full Part B reimbursement and has adopted a procedure for hospitals to obtain payment following a favorable ALJ ruling."
"The lawsuit correctly states that there are no statutes or regulations that would support CMS' position and there is no binding authority that would contravene the Medicare Act's requirement to pay for medically necessary hospital services," said Wachler. "In fact, such a policy would contravene the requirements of the Federal Administrative Procedures Act as any such policy would have to go through formal rulemaking requiring notice and comment before it could be effective. CMS has consistently failed to provide any legal rationale for not reimbursing hospitals full Part B reimbursement when the Part A claim is denied as the wrong setting."

Tensile membrane structures are unusual in that the stresses in the membrane are determined by the membrane shape, and vice versa. So the shape of the structure has to follow the stress path, and this leads to a shape that is often aesthetically pleasing, where form follows function. Tensile membrane structures are used as shades, awnings and roofs as they can economically span large areas.
Although tensile structures can be designed using physical scale model simulations, the use of computer algorithms for finding the shape (form finding) and developing the flat panels to create that shape (patterning) is now commonplace, and allows designers more freedom to try different designs, and more confidence in the results.
We at super Tech design shapes that are not one huge single piece but try to brake them into number of small units that can be assembled together . This also reduces our labor needed at the time of service .The designs come with gutter sections for the easy flow of rain water .There are jacks on all pillar to adjust the level and flow of water .
The units are assembled and pre-tested before being installed at site . These designs come with all electric connections ,wiring lights etc.

I am not a perfect parent! I lose my temper. I get impatient. I get worn down. I say things sometimes that I know are coming from complete exhaustion. I get in mama survival mode, meaning I become less than respectful of the kids' needs. One of the things I love about the practice of nonviolent communication is that it gives me compassionate language to use when I have taken some time to empathize with myself and get clarity on what I need. Once that break happens, I can think about what my kids are needing too. I have the opportunity to tell my kids how I wished I would have handled the situation.
as I wish I'd been. I can see now that you want to be heard....or you want help....." With that opening, they usually let me know more about their feelings and needs and we can get the clarity and respect we both value that makes us all feel more connected, heard, and understood. I get the opportunity to contribute to their needs or help them find strategies to get their own needs met. This is what I've heard NVC trainer Bren Hardt call the broom and dustpan approach. It is an opportunity for me to clean up the mess and practice NVC. I believe this "after the fact practice" helps me find the words and ways to pause and be mindful and patient so I can have more moments I am being the parent I want to be. It also allows me to model how we learn from our mistakes. If I can be honest, humble, and sincere in wanting to have deep, compassionate connection with them even in the middle of a regretful situation, then I am modeling for them a healthy, healing way to learn from regrets (what I try not to call failures). This also models for them that our own needs are as important as others' needs. They can see first hand that it is difficult to care for others when we do not care for ourselves adequately. I am finding that since I started catching myself and having these types of cleanup discussions after I've lost my cool, the kids are more and more understanding with me when I am tired or frustrated which also helps me catch myself before I explode. Isn't it wonderful that our kids can begin modeling compassion even when we are not doing as well as we'd like? This is why when recently asked for a tagline for my parenting work I answered, "given that we learn from our mistakes, I'm an expert."I never thought learning from regrets (mistakes) could feel so good but thanks to the basis of connection with our kids using NVC, it is very important and fulfilling for this mama.

Teen Allegedly Encouraged to Kill Himself Went to 'Wrong Person' for Help, Friend Says
As his pickup filled with carbon monoxide and Conrad Roy got out, Michelle Carter told him to "get back in," police say
By Jeff Truesdell Updated March 06, 2015 01:35 PM
Credit: Courtesy Michelle Carter/Facebook; Courtesy Conrad Roy/Facebook
Those who were closest to Conrad Roy III knew the funny, flirty 18-year-old struggled with depression and had tried in the past to kill himself. Now, they are struggling with the revelation that one friend may have urged the Massachusetts teen to go through with it.
"Conrad spoke to that one wrong person," his former classmate Louie Pina tells PEOPLE. On Feb. 6, authorities charged Michelle Carter, also 18, with involuntary manslaughter for allegedly encouraging Roy to take his own life last July.
Carter's parents and attorney defend her against the charge. Says the Carter family's lawyer Joe Cataldo: "She did not know what to do when she heard that he wanted to kill himself. This is a tragedy, but it is not a crime."
Police tell a different story.
After poring though more than 1,000 messages that Carter and Roy exchanged in the week before Roy was found dead in his pickup truck from carbon monoxide poisoning, Detective Scott Gordon of the Fairhaven, Massachusetts, police wrote, "Michelle Carter not only encouraged Conrad Roy to take his own life, she questioned him repeatedly as to when and why he hadn't done it."
Afterward, Carter wrote to a friend about her exchanges with Conrad in his last moments, saying he was scared and didn't want to abandon his family: "His death was my fault he got out of the car, and I told him to get back in because I knew he would do it all over again the next day."
For more on Conrad Roy and the allegations against Michelle Carter, pick up the latest issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday

Rosemary Jenks is the Director of Government Relations for NumbersUSA. In this role, Jenks serves as a primary link between the anti-immigrant movement's grassroots base and lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
Prior to joining NumbersUSA in 2001, Jenks worked as a senior fellow and legislative analyst for the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS).
In her roles at CIS and NumbersUSA, Jenks worked alongside a number of key anti-immigrant figures, including Roy Beck, Mark Krikorian, Jessica Vaughan and Steven Camarota.
Jenks is not shy about her ties to former Representative Tom Tancredo (R-CO), who previously received support from white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups. At a lobbying event in Washington, which former Rep. Tancredo attended, Jenks announced that if anyone was looking for her, they could find her in the offices of Representative Tancredo, where she and Linda Purdue (who has long worked with Tanton) were "virtual staffers."
In 2006, Jeff Sessions participated in a CIS event featuring Jenks.
Jenks is a close associate of anti-Muslim conspiracy theorist Frank Gaffney. Since 2010, Jenks has been a guest on Gaffney's radio program multiple times. Jenks also contributed to Gaffney's 2013 book, "War Footing: 10 Steps America Must Take to Prevail in the War for the Free World" and has spoken at multiple events organized by Gaffney's Center for Security Policy.
During a 2010 anti-immigrant rally in Phoenix, Arizona, Jenks lauded former State Sen. Russell Pearce for his efforts to pass Arizona's bigoted SB 1070. In 2008, she spoke at the Social Contract Press's Annual Writers Workshop. The Social Contract Press (TSCP) was founded in 1990 by John Tanton, who served as editor for its journal known for featuring white nationalist writers, and most infamously in 1994 republished an English translation of the openly racist novel The Camp of the Saints.
Jenks works closely with key anti-immigrant representatives in the House, including Rep. Steve King, Rep. Louie Gohmert, and former Rep. Lamar Smith, and serves as one of NumbersUSA's main contacts with the U.S. Congress and state legislative officials.
In addition to spending millions of dollars on radio and television ads, from 2001-2018 Jenks's employer spent over $7M in lobbying dollars, and from May 2018 to August 2019 the group spent nearly $900,000 on Facebook ads attacking immigrants.
NumbersUSA has an unprecedented amount of power and influence over President Trump's immigration policy, and the results have been disastrous. Perhaps most notably is NumbersUSA's work to end DACA and derail permanent protections for undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. at a young age. In addition to publicly pressuring President Trump to end the program, NumbersUSA spent over a million dollars working to derail bipartisan talks on protections for these immigrants.
Ahead of a vote on H.R. 6, the Dream and Promise Act, NumbersUSA urged their supporters and members of Congress, including some Democrats to vote against the measure. The group placed Facebook ads targeting a number of moderate Democratic representatives including some freshman members.
In 2012, NumbersUSA coordinated with former IRLI lawyer Kris Kobach on the Crane v. Napolitano case, the suit that pitted ICE against President Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and set the stage for United States v. Texas, and the subsequent legal attacks the program has faced. The same day Kobach filed the lawsuit on behalf of the ten Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, NumbersUSA announced that it would financially support the legal effort against DACA. In a blog post that read more as a fundraising appeal than an announcement, Beck said the ICE agents' legal team would be "funded entirely by NumbersUSA member contributions."
The group has used its grassroots network to drive calls and send faxes to lawmakers under both the Obama and Trump Administrations, urging representatives to support policies and amendments attached to must-pass bills offered by anti-immigrant Representatives in the House and Senate. Policy proposals have ranged from removing work authorization from DACA recipients to forbidding undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. at a young age from serving in the military, rescinding the program altogether and deporting DACA recipients to harsh interior enforcement policies such as mandatory e-verify. They have also stridently supported ending birthright citizenship, dramatic cuts to legal immigration, including ending family based immigration, and increased border wall funding.

Born and raised in Florida and the Seminoles were the first real American Indians that I had ever seen. Happy to recycle this information a friend on Google Plus shared with me as part of the November celebration for Native American Heritage Month.
An abandoned British fort from the war of 1812 was once occupied by a group of escaped slaves who found refuge and acceptance among the local tribes. The fort and the Spanish control of Florida offered some defense but the U.S. government sent an expeditionary military raid to terminate the outlaw colony. In the summer of 1816, the fort on the Apalachicola River was destroyed and nearly all its inhabitants.


Special bar quality (SBQ) steels represents a wide variety of higher quality carbon and alloy steels. Although there is no single definition, special bar quality steel can be defined as steel that moves (rotates, twists or bends) rather than stays still whilst in use. The term is used to describe steel long products for more demanding processing or end-use applications which cannot be met by merchant quality grades. The term "Special Bar Quality" is a predominantly a North American term. In Europe, special bar quality steels are commonly known as "engineering steels". Both these terms refer to steel types as well as to bar products, and as they are often associated with the steel grades, they refer to billet and slab as well as bar.
SBQ steels are at the higher end of the quality spectrum in both metallurgical consistency and dimensional accuracy. Some end uses of these steels may require superior surface quality, or special chemical restrictions, metallurgical characteristics, heat treatment or surface finishes. The internal quality of these steels is very important since machining and bending activities are involved during the processing of these steels in subsequent stages. In order to achieve metallurgical quality, the steel has to be particularly clean. This makes the production route of these steels a bit complex. Steel cleanliness can be achieved through the integrated route or through an additional refining step and cleaner iron bearing inputs into an EAF in a mini mill. Internal metallurgical quality and consistency is also achieved by a meaningful reduction during the rolling process. These steels are produced both in cut lengths and coils.
The specification of SBQ steels may range from plain carbon and carbon manganese steels to alloy and stainless steels containing different percentages of aluminum, nickel, chrome and other alloying elements. The chemistry of these steels is more complex than merchant quality steels. These steels may have many grades. Special bar quality steel may have products of shapes which can be classified into round, square and hexagonal bars. The products may also include hot rolled steel bars, cold finished steel bars. These steels are produced with more precise dimensions and chemistry. These steels have superior mechanical properties and defect free surface. The products from the special bar quality steel line adapt to the customer's specific requirements, including those related to chemical composition, malleability, hardness, ductility and steel surface condition.These steels are generally machined, forged or cold drawn during subsequent processing.
ASTM standard A 576 -90 b covers specification for plain carbon special quality bar steels for applications which includes forging, heat treating, cold drawing, machining and many structural uses. This specification has got 53 grades under the category of non-resulfurized steels, 15 grades under the category of resulfurized steels and 5 grades under rephosphorized and resulfurized category. The range of carbon content in these steels varies from grade to grade with minimum of 0.08 % and a maximum of 0.76 % while the manganese content in these steels ranges from a minimum of 0.30 % to a maximum of 1.65 %. Sulphur content in the 15 grades of the resulfurized steels also have different ranges of sulfur with a minimum of 0.08 % to a maximum of 0.33%. Similar is the case of resulfurized and rephosphorized steels.
SBQ steels are used in safety critical applications. Most producers see ties to the automotive industry as the key drivers of the SBQ steel grades. The main application area for special bar quality steels is the automotive industry for engine, transmission, steering, suspension and hydraulic components (Fig 1 ). SBQ steels are used for bolts, springs, cable wires, chains, tyre beads and many similar applications in automotive industry. These steels are also used for a wide range of industrial applications. The petroleum industry uses them to produce valves and pipeline couplings for oil extraction. In the hand tools sector, they are used for hammers, screwdrivers and wrenches, among others. SBQ steels are used for wind turbine components, bearings and seamless tubes.

Warner Music Closes Roadrunner Records UK Offices, Huge Cuts Elsewhere
Jamie Giberti
It seems that when it comes to the rock & metal world, almost all the big stories of 2012 have been sad ones, such as the news of Jim Marshalls passing or the cancellation of Sonisphere Knebworth 2012. This news however really takes the proverbial biscuit, as the incredibly sad news has reached us this afternoon that Roadrunner Records' UK offices are to close in a few weeks time, with cutbacks being reported across the label worldwide. At the time of writing this there have been rumours that the German and Canadian Roadrunner offices are also set to close, and we will confirm or correct this as soon as we can get confirmation one way or the other.
Update – We can confirm that the Canadian offices are also being shut down, and we think all the offices apart from the US office have been scheduled to close down, again further updates when we can confirm this.
Rocksins' have worked with the team at Roadrunner UK almost from day one of the site starting and they've always been nothing but friendly and hugely helpful to us so we would like to send our love and sympathy to the entire team, safe in the knowledge that they are among the very best in the business at what they do so hopefully they'll all move to success elsewhere.
Needless to say, this is a huge blow for the rock & metal industry across all of Europe. More news on this subject as soon as we get it here at Rocksins.
Second Update – Billboard.biz are reporting that Roadrunner UK will actually continue to exist in some form, as will the Canadian office. The only office to be closed entirely is the Dutch office in the Netherlands. Whether this is accurate or not remains to be seen, as everyone Rocksins' knows in the UK office has been made redundant, and the head of Roadrunner Canada Rose Slanic earlier tweeted saying today was her last day in the job after seven years. Various members of the US team have also been laid off, but this does not including their digital director Jeremy Rosen (who runs the US Roadrunner twitter account at @rrusa) as we have confirmed with him first hand via twitter that he's still employed). We're pleased Jeremy still has a job, we just wish a few of his British colleagues did too. We will of course continue to update this story as new developments become available.

Khalid – Love Lies Ft. Normani | Lyrics Meaning Explained
by Adam McDonald · December 20, 2021
"Love Lies" is a collaborative effort by Khalid and Normani for the soundtrack of the movie 'Love, Simon' from 2018. The song marked these two artists' first work together and was Normani's first release since her departure from the girl group Fifth Harmony.
"Love Lies" was released on February 14, 2018, as the second single from the soundtrack of the romantic-comedy movie 'Love, Simon.' The song peaked at #9 on Billboard Hot 100 Chart, #12 in the UK Singles Chart, and broke the top 10 in several other countries. The song has also been certified 5x Platinum by RIAA for selling over 5 million copies in the US alone.
At a glance, one thinks that the song title refers to the deceits in love — how love can be misleading at times. However, the title (and the song) is about questioning where each other love is at. Is it still towards each other? Or does it wander around?
Listen to "Love Lies" by Khalid and Normani
Khalid "Love Lies" Lyrics Meaning and Song Review
Khalid starts off the song by saying that he has been off lately, that he is not in the right frame of mind. Certain things keep bothering him and keeping him up at night.
I need a lover to trust, tell me you're on my side
This tells us that Khalid and his girl have been at it for a while only to see some dynamics change recently. He notices this. When you have been relying on one person for some time, it is a scary thought to see them go. Khalid questions where their love lies? Is it still within their boundaries, within grasp? Or is it fleeing away?
Khalid wants to know the truth. It is better to be alone than to live a fake love life. He invites his partner to tell him if they are still with it. Are they still ride or die? Khalid sees the other person getting more and more independent every day, and this scares him. A relationship thrives on a little dependency. It is nice to be needed. It is nice to give and receive.
Khalid and Normani both scream the same question.
So baby, tell me where your love lies
The lyrics that follow suggest that the couple has been in a rut recently. They spend the night awake, restless, and doubting. Then they waste the daylight busy on their own agendas. Is their love slipping away?
In the second verse of the song, Normani has a response for Khalid, but it is shrouded in mystery. She admits that she is still into him — it is not easy to forget years of history and memories between them.
When it feels so good, but it's bad for you
The above lyric suggests that what Normani enjoys doing or being actually is starting to hurt the relationship. This might be the same feeling of independence that Khalid talked about in the pre-chorus of the song.
But she is conflicted. She is not ready to give up on this relationship so fast, either. She craves the warmth that they had some time ago. But she can feel something slipping from their grasps.
In these lyrics, both Khalid and Normani sing their resolutions to fix whatever is going on between them. The cornerstone of this fix is communication (as should be in any relationship). They want to express their feelings to each other and get to the bottom of their issue.
But can a dying love be reignited?
Let us hear what you think about this song in the comments below. Check out the complete lyrics on Genius.

Q: How the space complexity of this algorithm is O(1) I found an algorithm here to remove duplicate characters from string with O(1) space complexity (SC). Here we see that the algorithm converts string to character array which is not constant, it will change depending on input size. They claim that it will run in SC of O(1). How?
// Function to remove duplicates
static string removeDuplicatesFromString(string string1)
{

    // keeps track of visited characters
    int counter = 0;
    char[] str = string1.ToCharArray();
    int i = 0;
    int size = str.Length;

    // gets character value
    int x;

    // keeps track of length of resultant String
    int length = 0;

    while (i < size) {
        x = str[i] - 97;

        // check if Xth bit of counter is unset
        if ((counter & (1 << x)) == 0) {

            str[length] = (char)('a' + x);

            // mark current character as visited
            counter = counter | (1 << x);

            length++;
        }
        i++;
    }

    return (new string(str)).Substring(0, length);
}

It seems that I don't understand Space Complexity.

A:
I found an algorithm here to remove duplicate characters from string with O(1) space complexity (SC). Here we see that the algorithm converts string to character array which is not constant, it will change depending on input size. They claim that it will run in SC of O(1). How?

It does not.
The algorithm takes as its input an arbitrary sized string consisting only of 26 characters, and therefore the output is only ever 26 characters or fewer, so the output array need not be of the size of the input.
You are correct to point out that the implementation given on the site allocates O(n) extra space unnecessarily for the char array.
Exercise: Can you fix the char array problem?
Harder Exercise: Can you describe and implement a string data structure that implements the contract of a string efficiently but allows this algorithm to be implemented actually using only O(1) extra space for arbitrary strings?
Better exercise: The fact that we are restricted to an alphabet of 26 characters is what enables the cheesy "let's just use an int as a set of flags" solution. Instead of saying that n is the size of the input string, what if we allow arbitrary sequences of arbitrary values that have an equality relation; can you come up with a solution to this problem that is O(n) in the size of the output sequence, not the input sequence?
That is, can you implement public static IEnumerable<T> Distinct<T>(this IEnumerable<T> t) such that the output is deduplicated but otherwise in the same order as the input, using O(n) storage where n is the size of the output sequence?
This is a better exercise because this function is actually implemented in the base class library. It's useful, unlike the toy problem.
I note also that the problem statement assumes that there is only one relevant alphabet with lowercase characters, and that there are 26 of them. This assumption is false.


BTW, are you part of the google group on anthea floors?
Finally, booked 373 sq yds (1711 sq ft) first floor flat at 99.9 today. Got 2.5% discount from Unitech and 1.5 from broker.
How have they adjusted this discount...all in BSP or some portion as credit note?
I think the response to CV will also be good.
1. Unitech is a decent brand and the location of the project is equally good in main gurgaon area.
2. The pricing is much better than over hyped IREO which is yet to deliver and even the location is not good.
3. CEO saab is out of the jail and the credibility issues no longer haunt them like past.
If not hot cakes, it will still be sold in due course but for 2BHK's I doubt if they will be available after the official launch. One of my friend in marketing team in Unitech told me that "log line lagakar unitech ke projects mein invest karte hain, jaise rashaan bat raha ho"
made my 2nd payment today. 3rd is in a month or so. any idea when the work is expected to start?

Western States 2003

The Western States 100 is only two weeks away. Unfortunately I will be on the road that weekend so there will be no progress reports like last year. But this should be an interesting race with two very big questions.
Can Scott Jurek make it 5 wins in a row?
Is this the year for someone to beat Ann Trason?
So far this year Jurek has been racing well and he is still in his prime. So he is the king until someone knocks him off. There are some good candidates entered though. Scott Peterson is the winner of last years Leadville 100 so count on him to be a strong runner on the elevations and trails. Serge England-Arbonna is a fast 100 miler who has run some impressive times on easier courses. He and Eric Clifton, Joe Kulak and Scott Eppleman ran 100 in under 15 hours last year but that was on courses without the hills and elevation. Another interesting entrant is Mark Godale who has 133 miles in a 24 hour and 50 miles in 5:56:06 to his credit last year. He has speed and endurance but not a lot of experience on the type of course that WS offers. And of course, Tim Twietmeyer, a 5 time winner will be back. But Tim is 43 so does he have one more win in him? Dark horses include Jorge Pacheco and Chad Rickfels.
Trason faded badly at the end last year and Emma Davies almost caught her. Davies is 5 years younger and has to be very hungry for the win. Plus she has the knowledge that Trason dropped out of the Rocky Racoon 100 earlier this year with ankle problems. Anthea Schmidt ran 3 very impressive races last year including a time at the Leadville 100 that is second only to Trason. Jenny Capel of Nevada has run a lot of good races on the Sierra Nevada trails and has the potential to be a surprise. Sue Johnston is another in that category of fast 100 mile times on an easier course with her 16:51 at Vermont last year. Jennifer Devine-Pfeifer had the fastest 50 miler among women last year with a 6:45:12 but can she carry that intensity all the way through 100? Dark horses for the women would have to include WS veteran Luann Park, Janice Anderson and east coast up and comer Francesca Conte.
The bottom line though is that Jurek is at the peak of conditioning and in his prime. Trason is the legend that has yet to be beat. So I would not bet against either of them this year.
Looking forward to a great race
"Find the level of intolerance you can tolerate and stay there." David Horton
Unfortunately I will be on the road that weekend so there will be no progress reports like last year.
Is that a darkhorse way of saying that you'll be running in the race?
With the amount of ultra-pounding Trason's body has taken over the years, fading at the end of races and leg injuries have to be at least somewhat of a concern...
Posted: Sat Jun 14, 2003 11:15 am Post subject:
I wish I was running WS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, that is the weekend I drive to Quantico.
Trason is an animal. One year (1998 I think) she won the 56 mile Comrades in South Africa and two weeks later won Western States....with a torn hamstring that was almost detached from the bone. I know it sounds incredible but it is the truth and not just legend.
On paper she appears to be vulnerable this year....but like I said....she is still the Queen until someone beats her.
Posted: Fri Jun 27, 2003 7:55 pm Post subject:
My opinion is Trason gets beat this year, but I don't think it will be Emma Davies.
Starts tomorrow at 5AM PDT. Here's the webcast link. For those who follow it, it really is pretty cool.
http://www.ws100.com/webcast/
I'm not leaving until tommorow so I will try to give some updates as I pack today. The only significant name on the did not start list is Francesca Conte.
First reports in. Jurek is behind the leader by 8 minutes but that is no big deal. All the contenders for the men are there except Twietmeyer, but again that is no big deal. He is known for coming on strong as the race progresses.
Way past the 70 mile mark now, and both Jurek and Trason have decent leads. Unless he falls and hurts himself, I don't see Jurek losing. Trason ran into trouble last year after this point. With about ten miles to go each runner gets a pacer. In another hour and a half it will be dark.
Posted: Sat Jun 28, 2003 10:42 pm Post subject:
Jurek wins it. Finished at 21:01 PDT. This means he ran it in 16:01, 18 minutes faster than his 16:19:10 last year.
Wow, I must have let that last post sit for almost 2 hours before submitting it.
Trason finishes at 23:36 PDT about 20 minutes slower than last year. Again, she really slowed down in the last segment, covering 6.7 miles in 97 minutes.
Was that good enough for the win for Trason?
Yes, by a wider margin than last year. Emma Davies was 2nd again, 56 minutes back. Luanne Park was 3rd again, 38 minutes behind Davies.
Hey guys, first chance to get back on line since getting to Quantico.
So where to start? Jurek is still the king and Trason is still the queen. I should have known better than to speculate this might be the year for someone to beat Trason. Ward's Worthless Prediction, Trason will get beat somewhere else before anyone beats her at WS. She simply owns that course. And she was in the top 10 overall again!
Dean Karnazes had a great race in 4th. That is his highest ever. Twietmeyer is still in the top 5 and Davies and Park held off the two women that I thought might make noise this year...Schmidt and Capel.
I haven't had time to study the split times to see how things unfolded but it looks like Jurek will be the man for a long time and who knows just how long Trason can go.

Q: Shell job control For my school project I am implementing a shell and I need help with job control.
If we type a command, say cat &, then because of the & it should run in background, but it's not working. I have this code:
{
  int pid;
  int status;
  pid = fork();
  if (pid == 0) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Child Job pid = %d\n", getpid());
    execvp(arg1, arg2);
  }
  pid=getpid();
  fprintf(stderr, "Child Job pid is = %d\n", getpid());
  waitpid(pid, &status, 0);
}

A: Rather than just going straight to waiting, you should set up a signal handler for the SIGCHLD signal.  SIGCHLD is sent whenever a child process stops or is terminated.  Check out the GNU description of process completion.
The end of this article has a sample handler (which I've more or less copied and pasted below).  Try modeling your code off of it.
 void sigchld_handler (int signum) {
     int pid, status, serrno;
     serrno = errno;
     while (1) {
         pid = waitpid(WAIT_ANY, &status, WNOHANG);
         if (pid < 0) {
             perror("waitpid");
             break;
         }
         if (pid == 0)
           break;
         /* customize here.
            notice_termination is in this case some function you would provide
            that would report back to your shell.
         */
         notice_termination (pid, status);
     }
     errno = serrno;
 }

Another good source of information on this subject is Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment, chapters 8 and 10.

A: The parent process is calling waitpid on the child, which will block until the child process changes state (i.e. terminates).

If Greece doesn't get another rescue package, it will be in default by mid-July. With two-year Greek bonds fetching yields of 26%, markets are telling the Greeks that bankruptcy is precisely what they expect, never mind whether the euphemism to be used is "restructuring" or "reprofiling."
Like previous rescues, the next one—and the one after that—will merely postpone Judgment Day. Ultimately there are three possible outcomes to Greece's current predicament: 1) Europe bleeds forever, treating Greece as a permanent welfare case; 2) The EU swallows Greece's default, or "reprofiles" the Greek debt—the international equivalent of Chapter 11 bankruptcy; 3) Greece abandons the euro.
Which is the least-bad option? Forget the dole. Aching under their own spending cuts, Europe's richer nations won't keep paying for Greece sine die. "Why should we scrounge, while others squander?" is the sentiment driving voters into the arms of populist parties from France to Finland. Even if keeping Greece on the bailout drip were economically feasible, it has become a political impossibility.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel seems to prefer option two, a reprofiling that would buy some more time for Greece to get its finances in order. As the U.S. experience with Chapter 11 shows, protecting borrowers from creditors sometimes works. If a company no longer needs to hemorrhage cash in order to service its debt, it can pump revenues into productive investments and regain profitability. At a minimum, it gets a reprieve and a chance to bring its costs in line with income.
But that scenario seems unlikely in Greece's case. This is an economy that grew nicely after it joined the euro—faster, at any rate, than the euro zone as a whole. Yet as in Europe's other problem countries, the gift of the euro came with a poison pill: When it ditched the drachma for the euro, Greece was suddenly able to borrow at low interest rates. And it did—lots. Why save if you can sponge? Why bring an economy rife with cronyism, protectionism, tax evasion and corruption into the globalized world when money is so cheap? Today, Athens owes its creditors in Europe and beyond more than €300 billion.
Greece's problem is not just liquidity, which could be solved by injections from abroad. Rather, Greece's debt crisis is rooted in its economic fundamentals, and nothing short of fundamental reform could improve its long-term prospects under the euro. Here are some telling numbers: While unit-labor costs in Greece have shot up 15 percentage points since 2005, they rose by only five points in Germany. To restore their lost competitiveness, Greeks and their government would have to agree on a new social contract between them, one that demolishes market barriers and privileges, and in particular those that coddle a bloated public sector that makes up 25% of the work force.
But how many societies could bear such a revolution, especially one ordered by foreigners? Last year, facing the prospect of even modest reforms, the Greeks answered with bloody riots to protest the demands of their supposed tormentors abroad. This year, Greeks are doubling down on their bet against their own ability to change, and are cleaning out their bank accounts and dispatching their euros to Switzerland and Britain—or to their own bedrooms, underneath their mattress.
Which brings us to option three, which sees Greece absconding from the euro, flanked by default and devaluation. This represents the unthinkable for most good Europeans, who worry that Greece's departure from the euro could well mean the end of the European project. Meanwhile, across the Continent, banks and insurance companies would falter; pension funds would go belly-up, and—given a likely haircut of €0.50 per euro of Greek debt—Europe's taxpayers would have to pump up the asset side of banks' balance sheets. At the same time, Greece would sink ever-deeper into its hole, having to pay back euro-denominated debt with drastically shrunken drachmas.
But if the Greeks stay in the euro, they are also facing a default-cum-haircut. That, too, would wreak havoc on the balance sheets of European banks and insurers. How bad would it be? That depends on who holds how much, which creditors are otherwise in strong positions, and how many financial institutions would need (more) public funds to survive a Greek restructuring. This author does not pretend to know the answers to these questions, but Argentina offers at least one historical example suggesting that in the end, abandoning the euro and devaluing the drachma would leave Greece better off than another rescue package that would merely postpone bankruptcy.
At the beginning of the last decade, Argentina resembled Greece in many ways. It had entered a kind of monetary union with the U.S. by chaining its peso to the dollar one-to-one. It then used the resulting low interest rates to dramatically increase its foreign debts, and its external deficits exploded. Eventually, the International Monetary Fund arrived on scene with a series of financial rescue packages that failed to stave off disaster. Riots erupted, governments fell, cash left the country by the suitcase. In the end, Argentina's creditors had to accept haircuts anyway, losing $0.65 cents per dollar of their loans to Argentina. Unchained from the greenback, the Argentinian peso plummeted to $0.28.
But: Devaluation worked just as the textbooks said it should. Imports fell, exports rose. For a while, nobody wanted to lend Argentina a penny. But soon investors returned, and today Argentina boasts 9% annual growth, an external trade surplus worth 3% of GDP and a public-debt ratio of only 41% of GDP.
Greece won't have such a happy ending, complete with restored competitiveness and external balances, if it remains a member of a currency whose parity the central bank can't affect. If it stays in the euro, Greece faces default and stagnation. If it scraps the euro, it still faces default, but also devaluation and a chance for growth. This is a horrifying predicament. But what is better—going the Argentinian way, or staying in the euro?

An invaluable device for each private investigator and private detective is this landline telephone recorder which will allow them to record crucial evidence from both conversations in an investigation, when connected to a landline socket. It's perfect for long term surveillance of telephone calls, recording as much as 280 hours of conversation, or to back up a private investigator's or private detective's own calls. A separate battery pack is also offered.
A truly valuable feature of the device is that it only records the sounds from the telephone line and not random sounds in the room. This ensures that the recordings are of top quality, which is important to any investigation a private investigator or private detective undertakes, as evidence needs to be clear without background noise to prevent confusion. The landline telephone recorder also comes with an added external microphone, having a lead a metre in length, so the device may be deployed in a range of circumstances. To play back the recordings, earphones could be plugged in to listen to the evidence, that are supplied using the device, or a private investigator or private detective can listen via a PC with out the require for software program, as a personal computer will recognise it as a flash drive USB.

Countersink is a conical hole that cuts into a manufactured object or cutter can be used to cut a hole. The most common use is to allow the head of a countersunk screw or bolt when placing it in the hole in order to sit and flush with the surface of the surrounding material. The comparison of a counter bore makes a flat bottomed hole that might be used with a hex headed cap screw.
A countersink can also be used to remove the burr left from tapping or drilling operation thereby improving the finish of the product as well as removing hazardous sharp edges.
The basic geometry of a countersink cutter can be applied to the plunging applications described above axial feed only and to other milling applications such as sideways traversal therefore the countersinks can overlap in function, form and sometimes name with chamfering end mills with angled tips. Furthermore, the cutter of the surface can be generated by the plunging applications or a beveled corner of the intersection of two planes.
There are many tools that are needed when working with wood. The system is to measure the wood will be needed for most projects and use a regular tape to measure. Once measured, use a chalk or pencil to mark the wood for cutting. After marking and measuring it, cut the wood with an electric saw. Some rough edges might need to be sanded down by using sandpaper. Sandpaper can be found and bought cheap at any stores that sell home improvement items. However, there are electric sanders and are very efficient but they are also more expensive.
Once everything is placed together, this is where screws and nails will come in and this will make the difference between a usable piece and starting over again. Using the countersink drill bit can help the piece to look better and make the surface smoother. However, when driving screws into hardwood it is advisable to drill pilot holes into the boards before driving the screw. There is another step that should take not before driving the screw is the woodworking tip, learn all about a countersink is and when should be use.
Countersink can be used in many tools which include drill presses, drills, lathes and milling machines. The cross-hole countersink is a cone shaped tool with the cutting edge that can provide a hold to go through the side of cone.
The only intersection of the hole and cone can form the cutting edge on a tool. Cone is not symmetrical as it is essential for the cone to retreat from the cutting edge when the tool rotates. However, if this does not occur the cutting edge can lack of clearance and rub as well as bite into the material. Clearance is referred to cutting relief.
Some tools are best for using as deburring tool where the burr of a previous machine operation needs to be removed from the safety and cosmetic reasons but some may be used in softer materials such as plastic or wood to create a countersunk hole for the screw.
Form countersinking is also another type of countersink which is known as dimpling. It is formed into a sheet metal to increase the strength of the structure with the multiple pieces of countersinks nest together. The two processes for producing countersinks are formed into modified radius and coin dimpling.
These dimples are thick sheet and can be tapped to yield a threaded hard point on the sheet without having any expense to weld a nut to a sheet. This is often seen in the modern household appliance design as it can allow the product to lower the price as well as the quality will be still as good as the sheet is think enough.


The HNIC Pick The Wrong Card!
It's the credit card that is the problem!
The HNIC - Michael Steele... Soon to be Unemployed?
Michael Steele partly spoke the truth Monday, yet it probably further hurt his chances to continue leading the Republican National Committee.
Steele defended what he's done to raise money for the organization, even while he has been on widely criticized spending sprees.
Then he played the race card: Being black, Steele said, is a problem for him with his GOP critics.
With those words, Steele probably irritated a lot of GOP members who just a year ago were all to happy to have a black face on top of the RNC organizational chart.
See, we don't see color. We even let a black lead us.
But in recent months Steele has been a lightning rod for controversy, and it hasn't had a lot to do with his race.
They include last week's revelation that the national committee paid for a night out at a Hollywood night club to Steele's use of private jets to his writing a book that surprised some in his own group.
So now top Republicans are publicly contemplating Steele's future even as the GOP has to raise a lot of money to be successful in the 2010 elections.
Some conservatives have started their own fundraising for candidates. Other groups are telling their followers to stop contributing to the RNC and go elsewhere — including directly to the candidates they want to support.
In other words Steele — whether he's black, white or polka-dotted — is on thin ice right now.
Oh, and you know Democrats love seeing the turmoil at the RNC.

Delhi: Two kidney failure patients get new lease of life
Hospitals & Diagnostics, Latest News, State News
February 8, 2016	State : New Delhi
New Delhi: Two kidney failure patients got a fresh lease of life on Sunday, thanks to the noble deed of a family in donating organs of a brain-dead patient and some timely help from Delhi Police.
A 38-km 'green corridor' was created to transport the harvested kidneys from the Max Super Speciality Hospital in Shalimar Bagh to its Vasant Kunj branch where the two end-stage kidney failure patients were admitted, the hospital said in a statement here.
While it took only 37 minutes and 45 seconds for a team of experts and police to deliver the organs harvested from a 62-year-old brain-haemorrhaged woman patient, a team of doctors – Dr Sonal Gupta, Dr Waheed Zaman and Dr Vikas Aggarwal – worked for more than eight hours to ensure a smooth harvesting and transplanting procedure.
"The team worked tirelessly to ensure that the two kidney transplants are carried out successfully. The noble decision of the donor's family has given a new lease of life to two people. We are proud to be a part of such a brave act. We hope millions of others take inspiration from the family of the 62-year old lady," Dr Zaman said.
On January 7, a 32-km green corridor from the same hospital in Shalimar Bagh to its Saket branch facilitated transportation of the heart of a 17-year-old road accident victim in 45 minutes 27 seconds. The heart was transplanted into a 46-year-old woman with dilated cardiomyopathy and suffering from end-stage heart failure.
According to the hospital, an estimated 500,000 people await organ donation in India but only 5 percent of them receive a second lease of life.

Q: HttpClient client-side message handlers The HttpClient custom Client Message Handlers insert themselves in the client-side pipeline when making web api calls. This info is from this article
The author says that these message handlers go into action as the request is being sent out and also when the response is received back from the server.
I understand these client message handler's role as request is being sent out from client to the Server because the sendAsync method provides the request object. One can add custom request headers, etc.
I do not understand the usefulness of these message handlers AFTER the response is received from the server because the sendAsync method does not provide access to the response object. So, I am not sure how these client side message handlers are useful on the return journey of the request.
I am obviously missing something here.

A: Actually you do get access to the response message inside the message handler. For example, in the following handler, I am logging outgoing request and incoming response. Now as long as I use this instance of HttpClient, all calls made through it write traces of requests and response.
HttpClient client = new HttpClient(new LoggingHandler(new HttpClientHandler()));

public class LoggingHandler : DelegatingHandler
{
    public LoggingHandler(HttpMessageHandler innerHandler)
        : base(innerHandler)
    {
    }

    protected override async Task<HttpResponseMessage> SendAsync(HttpRequestMessage request, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Request:");
        Console.WriteLine(request.ToString());
        if (request.Content != null)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(await request.Content.ReadAsStringAsync());
        }
        Console.WriteLine();

        HttpResponseMessage response = await base.SendAsync(request, cancellationToken);

        Console.WriteLine("Response:");
        Console.WriteLine(response.ToString());
        if (response.Content != null)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync());
        }
        Console.WriteLine();

        return response;
    }
}
