Q: How to use php sprintf to append positve values with "+" but ignore null values I have a php page displaying some data from a mysql database.  I want to prefix the positive values with "+" so I have used sprintf:
<?php echo sprintf ("%+4.2f",$data_row); ?>

The problem is that for a null value in the database the php displays +0.00
How do I get it to ignore null values and display nothing?
Thanks

A: Why not use
<? echo ($data_row<>null) ? sprintf ("%+4.2f",$data_row) : null; ?>


Sometimes in a day I download a few albums, some bands I know and some I don't. Sometimes I forget what I download and it shows up months later while I'm listening to my library on shuffle. That's the case with Bobby Birdman's, "Only for a While". Bobby Birdman is the stage name for musician Rob Kieswetter who lives in L.A.
Although "Only for a While" is from his 'New Moods' album (2009), I somehow missed the boat on that one! Kieswetter is a member of YACHT's backing band called 'The Straight Gaze' which as of last year YACHT changed their name to Yacht and the Straight Gaze. His discography goes back to 2001 having released on various labels such as Fryk Beat and State Rights Records. He has played on albums by Bonnie Prince Billy, The Microphones, YACHT, Little Wings, Golden Shoulders, and VVRSNN. As Bobby Birdman he has toured with Hot Chip, Ratatat, and YACHT.
I'm really digging the sound of his 1950's-1960's doo-wop vocal flair combined with his electronic pop sound and am looking forward to new material to come out!


The change from school to university is a major life transition to which many students experience considerable difficulty in adjusting. This process of adjustment is multidimensional requiring that students develop effective strategies for adapting to a host of new demands (Baker & Siryk, 1989) including those found in the academic, social and emotional spheres of development. Yet, in addition to factors relating to individual developmental or background variables, the interactive effects of student demographics and institutional environment may also influence a student's ability to cope effectively with adjustment to university. This may be the case particularly for students of disadvantaged or minority backgrounds, of which, the literature suggests, black African students in South Africa are a likely instance.

Making Career Information Stick
By Kim Matteson
Too many times a presentation may begin to turn off individuals and they slowly stop paying attention. How can presenters keep their audience engaged? How can they ensure their audience remembers the information presented? Simple - by applying some of the principles in the book, "Made to Stick." by Chip and Dan Heath. According to the Heath brothers, information given during presentations should be unexpected, credible, concrete, and simple. Using résumé writing as an example topic for a presentation to a group of students, follow the advice below to understand how applying some of the concepts in "Made to Stick" will grab the audience's attention and help them remember the concepts presented.
Unexpected: During the résumé writing presentation, give participants a copy of a client's résumé that does a poor job of highlighting the candidate's strongest qualifications. Ask participants to look at the résumé for six seconds. The audience will be shocked at how quickly the time goes by when slowly counting to six. What do they remember? What grabbed their attention? What stood out and got noticed?
Talk about the employment position the client was seeking and ask the audience if they believe the employer noticed the most important information in the résumé. If the résumé was not written well, the audience may not notice or remember important credentials or key words that the candidate would want to stand out. Inform the audience that according to an eye-tracking study released in 2012 by TheLadders, an online job-matching service, recruiters spent an average of 6 seconds reviewing an individual résumé. This emphasizes how important it is for the writer to highlight the strongest qualifications for the target position. The audience's unexpected realization that the strong qualifications were unnoticed may help them in their own future resume-writing.
Credible: Accessible statistics, according to the Heath brothers, allow concepts to stick. In the example above, the presenter could have only told the audience that employers review résumés for an average of six seconds, but instead the audience was also put in the employer's role, scanning the résumé in those same six seconds for qualifications that stood out.
Another way to enhance credibility would be by presenting a well-written résumé sample that resulted in an interview. Tell the audience that this résumé was written to be sent to only one employer. In addition to enhancing credibility, this tactic allows the audience to review a well-written résumé in follow-up to the poorly written one as used above.
Concrete: Examples in presentations that are based on real people and their stories give the audience a specific subject and typically allows them to easily remember the information. Using an actual person's résumé (with permission, of course) and the client's story throughout the presentation conveys the importance and aids in the discussion of why certain items on the résumé are highlighted and where they are placed.
The presenter might also try telling the client's actual story to the audience and having them decide what the client should highlight on the résumé. Afterward, show them what items were highlighted by the client and explain why those items were important.
Simple: Decide what one, single concept is most important in the résumé and make this the entire focus of the presentation. For example, when the presentation is on résumé writing, the presenter could choose to focus on how to target the résumé for a specific employment opportunity within a specific organization.
The focus is accomplished simply by teaching the audience to highlight relevant information in bullet points and to emphasize key words and phrases that aid in reflecting their skills in relation to the job they are pursuing. A different presentation could choose to focus on other topics such as résumé formatting basics or writing good descriptions of work experience.
I used these concepts in a university classroom presentation lasting 75 minutes and I am happy to report the entire class was engaged, even the ones at the back of the class who often do not pay attention. Hopefully, integrating information that is unexpected, credible, concrete, and simple will help audience members to remember career-related information and to stay engaged. Try putting these principles into action during your next presentation.

I like how you applied the information from the reference material to career development.

Excellent suggestions! Thank you.

I have been using all of these techniques in my veteran-focused Resume Writing Workshops for years and I can testify that they really do work. However, instead of providing a sample, I have each participant pass their resume to the person next to them. This encourages the audience to interact with each other and provides a small networking opportunity. By the end of the class, most are exchanging contact information.
I also focus on two things instead of one; research and relevancy. After all, one can't know what will be relevant to each employer without doing the research.

Pentreffest Noz is a monthly evening of music and dance – currently featuring traditional music and dance from France and Brittany (Breton) with a sprinkling of music and dance from Sweden and other European regions. It is a very friendly event, whether you are a musician, dancer or someone who just wants to listen and watch. No experience is needed and you don't need to bring a partner as there are always experienced dancers and musicians there and everyone is encouraged and supported during the evening.
Pentreffest Noz usually takes place on the first Friday of each month (except August). The evening starts with separate workshops for dancers and musicians. Each month something new will be taught, with revision of dances and tunes learnt in previous months. Doors open at 19:15, with the workshops starting at 19:30. The bal [dance] starts at 21:00 and goes on until 23:00-ish.
This is open to musicians of all abilities and any instrument. Learning by ear is encouraged, but notation is provided. Musicians are taught tunes for dancing and they will have an opportunity to play for dances later in the evening. It is an aim to build up a repertoire of music for dancing.
Dancers of all abilities are welcome and during the evening there will be many experienced dancers to help beginners. Again, it is an aim to build up a repertoire of dances. The dances from Brittany do not usually require a partner as they are performed in lines or circles. The dances from other parts of France are usually danced in couples or larger sets. Do not worry if you want to come to the event on your own as there will be others there who will dance with you. Some of the dances we teach are 'mixers' so you will get a chance to dance with other people any way.
After a short break for tea or coffee and biscuits, the evening continues with the bal – dancing to live music. A wide range of dances will be enjoyed during the evening. This part of the evening begins with the House Band – featuring all those who play in the music workshop. These musicians have the chance to play the tunes they have just been taught in the workshop, along with other tunes they have learned in previous Pentreffest workshops. After this, other musicians and groups have the chance to play. There will normally be one advertised group performing, but opportunity is there for others to play as well. Check the calendar each month to see information about Pentreffest Noz and other events.


Creating recruitment videos is an important part of every successful talent acquisition strategy. Even if you have no budget and no previous experience, in this blog post you'll learn useful tips that will help you create a perfect recruiting video!
Video dominates social media, and soon it will take over recruitment too. Leading companies are already creating recruitment videos and using them to achieve their talent acquisition goals. Using videos in recruitment is definitely one of the recruiting trends you should implement in 2019.
Download our List of 15 recruiting trends to implement in 2019!
If you're recruiting for a big company, you need to start creating recruitment videos in order to keep up with your competitors. If you're recruiting for a smaller company, creating a recruitment video is your chance to differentiate your company from its competitors in a war for talent.
How to create a perfect recruitment video?
Creating a perfect recruitment video doesn't have to a long, complicated and costly endeavor. Contrary to popular belief, you don't need a big budget, fancy equipment and a full crew to create a perfect recruitment video.
Avoid the boring corporate business language and shabby buzzwords. Make your recruitment video fun - both for your employees and your potential job candidates. Start with your employees. It is important that your employees have fun while making your recruiting video. Their energy will shine through and captivate your potential candidates with its authenticity and good vibes. Don't be afraid to use humor!
Keep your recruitment videos short. Recruitment videos should be no longer than 3 minutes. Even if you create a great, captivating recruitment video, the chances are that most candidates won't watch the whole thing if it is longer than 5 minutes. SkillScout analyzed 450+ job and company videos across YouTube and Vimeo channels and found out that the average amount of time candidates spend watching recruitment videos is 1 minute and 36 seconds.
Why did you join [insert your company's name]?
What do you love about working at [insert your company's name]?
How would you characterize your fellow employees?
Describe [insert your company's name]'s workplace in three words?
Describe your regular working day.
Tell us about an exciting project you are working on.
Why do you stay at [insert your company's name]?
Ask questions and record your employees' unrehearsed answers. You can cut and edit them later!
Besides your employee's testimonials, use your recruitment video to showcase your company culture. Your potential candidates want to see the faces of people they'd be spending most of their days, but also a place where they would work. Let them see your organization and workplace! Give them a glimpse into your workplace atmosphere and everyday life at your office.
Make sure you use your recruitment video to communicate what's important to job seekers. They want to know what it is like to work at your company and they want to see the faces of people they might be working with. However, they might also have some specific questions depending on candidate journey stage they are in. Create useful video recruitment content or every step of the candidate journey!
My final tip for creating a perfect recruitment video is to include a call to action. Tell your potential candidates exactly what you want them to do after they finish watching your recruitment video. Do you want them to check out your open job positions? Read your career blog? Visit your career site? Join your talent network? Make it clear by presenting a strong call to action at the end of your recruiting video.
Most companies don't have an in-house camera crew or a production studio at their disposal to help them create their recruitment video.
If you have a certain budget for recording a recruitment video, you can hire professionals to help you. Think about hiring an external freelancer or video production agency.
Use what you've got. Yes, that's right. You don't need fancy cameras, tripods or microphones. Any recent smartphone will do.
Make sure you have enough light in your recording space. When it comes to lightning, make sure that the light is on the objects you film. If the light comes behind your object, you will only the silhouettes.
Sound matters! The terrible sound is actually more annoying than terrible video. Try to film your videos in a place where you can actually hear people your interview. When interviewing your employees, make sure you are in a quiet surrounding. A quiet office is probably a better choice than an office cafeteria.
If you still hesitate about creating your own recruiting video, there are cool tools to help you.
For example, check out Moovly which offers templates for creating recruitment videos. It is an easy, professional, and cost-effective way to create your recruitment videos, including video job descriptions, employee testimonials and company culture videos.
Once you've created a great recruitment video, you need to get it out there for the world to see it! Promote your recruiting video throughout as many candidate journey touchpoints as you can.
Promote your recruitment video on social media networks such as your LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and don't forget about Instagram!
Ask your employees to share your recruitment video on their own, private social media profiles.
Make sure to feature your recruitment video on your career site. Recruitment videos are also a great content idea for your company's career blog.
Upload your recruitment video on video platforms such as Youtube and Vimeo.
Using a recruitment video will help you enhance your employer brand on the company's review sites such as Glassdoor.
Send your recruitment video via your company's newsletter to keep the candidates from your talent pool up to date and engaged.
A recruitment video should be a part of your job descriptions and job ads!
Play your recruitment videos on your recruitment events such as job fairs and campus events.

Who John was (first appeared in InfoWorld)
By: Bob Lewis|In: Career Management|Last Updated: August 25, 1997
John's worst career mistake happened after a reorganization. His new manager, part of the new executive leadership team, had asked his opinion on several issues.
John cheerfully complied. Big mistake.
Executives are smart to learn as much about each new area of responsibility as they can. That means taking their direct reports to lunch, asking questions, and listening carefully. John's new manager did exactly what she was supposed to do.
John achieved his goals in this conversation. He demonstrated his encyclopedic grasp of technology, his extensive knowledge of how to run IS, and his philosophy of leadership — which was based in large part on a management "initiative" that had been extolled as the Next Big Thing by the previous CEO. He figured he'd done a great job of impressing his new boss.
And he had. He'd impressed her with his insights, his range, and his leadership potential — and with his lack of interest in her insights, range, leadership, plans, and goals. Even worse, he demonstrated loyalty to the old regime. In short, he'd established himself as a potential troublemaker but not as a likely source of support.
So John went into "special projects," wondering what had gone wrong and feeling bitter about his enforced change of career direction.
Served him right.
Executives get a lot of flak for bringing in management fads — panaceas that will make the company a great place to work, increase market share, generate awesome shareholder value, and cure the common cold. The flak is largely undeserved. Although these fads rarely accomplish anything, they're the inevitable result of people doing exactly what they're supposed to do. If you want to avoid John's fate, you need to understand the dynamics of management fads.
Most fads fall into one of two categories. The first, Humoring a Promising Subordinate (HAPS) happens when the CEO wants to provide an opportunity for a protege. The protege reads about a promising new something and voila! HAPS happens.
You can recognize HAPS by the lack of CEO commitment. You'll hear lip service, and you'll probably attend a training session, but you'll find the CEO's attention focused on more pressing matters, such as new product development, a change in market focus, or improving the company's key ratios.
Follow the leader. Give the HAPS lip service and whatever attention you think it deserves based on its intrinsic merits. HAPS can offer very good ideas. It just doesn't represent the company's strategic direction.
The more dangerous fads are Strategic Company Directions (SCDs) sponsored directly by the CEO and leadership team. They are major change initiatives, intended to transform the organization. Typically, SCDs won't pay off for several years — three years is the minimum for total quality management, for example — and they can't succeed unless the whole company gets behind them.
CEOs don't get three years. Unless short-term results are strong, the board will find a new CEO. Since the board doesn't hire a new CEO to implement ideas that didn't work, that big SCD is yesterday's news — a fad.
When faced with an SCD, commit to it. Do everything you can to make it succeed. If and when the company leadership changes, make it clear that you're an implementer, not an advocate, and that you'll work just as hard to implement the new team's strategic direction. In other words, listen before you opine.
There are no bad guys here. Shareholders invest wanting prices to rise immediately, not three years from now. Boards of directors serve shareholders. The CEO answers to the board — no leeway there — and the rest of management follows along. Remarkably, the long-term health of the company isn't anyone's top priority — except, perhaps, employees'. And many companies, by their actions, discourage employee loyalty.
Sure, there are some executives who move from fad to fad like a butterfly flitting from flower to flower. They're the exception. Most are doing what they're paid to do. They're trying to define, articulate, and create the future company according to their vision, not someone else's.
I know. I was John.

Silly's Ballads
Xiao He
SKU: FDMM0037-BO-00 Category: Catalog
It's been 2 years since Xiaohe's bizarre double CD "The Performance Of identity" (2010) was released. As one of the most important avant-garde artists in China, his astonishing creativity doesn't change or vanish with the passing of time, instead he becomes more distinctive and interesting. He keeps on playing his solo symphonies and "universal experimental folk", which has gained him much appreciation and a glowing reputation. Xiaohe and his songs have been to dozens of countries and whilst performing last autumn he jumped off the stage and broke his feet! This album, Silly's Ballad, was created while he was instructed to rest at home by doctors, with his feet set in heavy casts. Xiaohe wrote all 12 songs with an acoustic guitar, he even recorded them while in bed and on the couch. The album overflows with beautiful melodies and classic folk arias. He writes of the album, "While I was recording [the songs], cicadas were tweeting, and sometimes even a plane passed by. I tried to record without any external sounds before by thickening the walls of my studio, but at the same time I was isolating beautiful things outside." So, when Xiaohe returned to write love songs again, he was inspired by diverse colors and sounds. Besides the self-deprecating title, natural feelings hide in every sentence of the lyrics, reflecting Xiaohe's wisdom and philosophy. The use of narrative poems throughout the album helps Xiaohe express his mystical world in sounds and words. Silly's Ballad released in a very special and limited format: not on CD, tape or vinyl, but as a 'musical artbook'. It is perhaps the first of it's kind. This multimedia truly enables Xiaohe's creativity better expression. The artbook contains 12 different pictures of leaves, drawn by Xiaohe in Zurich in 2010. Those leaves lay scattered on the mountain road Xiaohe walked along every morning to exercise. The 12 songs correspond to 12 different leaves. High-end headphone brand 233621 has generously provided specialized custom-made headphones for this 'album'. Furthermore, this musical artbook also includes three music videos which were commissioned to three up-and-coming and very talented directors: Yu Liwei, Yang Jin and Zhang Yuedong. Xiaohe expressed his wishes for the artbook: "I hope this album will become the glorious road along which a silly person is looking for another silly person."
Released: Sept 24, 2011
Formats: Book + MP3
Tracks: 12 songs

Purpose Statement for Resumes – To Keep or otherwise to Keep?
This concern turns up a whole lot. Is an unbiased declaration vital? Is it a waste of space? If you do include it, what should it claim? To begin, yes, an objective declaration is important. The above concerns are important, but what is crucial for you is to very first realize what your purpose actually is. As a job specialist, I get even more inquiries concerning the layout of the resume than what kind of web content needs to be included. So, allow's back up.
In order to create a solid resume, you have to initially recognize what you are trying to find. If you are simply grabbing anything that will place loan in your pocket, you are mosting likely to have a tough time finding a work. You need to have a solid idea of your target, and afterwards create a resume that speaks with that target. For instance, if you know you intend to be an advertising supervisor, however aren't certain what sector you want to operate in, you should create a resume that targets marketing skills without being too certain regarding the sector experience. If you aren't certain what kind of placement you want, yet you know you want to work in the retail sector, you will focus all of your abilities so they relate to your retail experience and accomplishments.
Your objective declaration will be a reflection of what you are aiming for as well as what the business is searching for. Going back to my last examples, if you wish to be a marketing director and also you find a task publishing looking for somebody with skills similar to your own, your unbiased statement will claim "Experienced marketing professional with skills in ____, ____, as well as ____, seeking vibrant advertising and marketing supervisor setting". The spaces will certainly be loaded with experience directly associating with what was published in the task summary. This objective statement establishes the phase for the task, and also is particularly vital if your cover letter is separated from the resume, as well as ends up on someone else's desk at your target company.
Creating a clear and succinct unbiased statement is essential, but shouldn't occupy the initial 1/3 of your resume. Maintain it short and to the point. It's simply an intro to what you're seeking. While your objective statement might only end up being one to two sentences long, it is still an important part of your resume, and also need to be evaluated as well as revised for each job you make an application for.


Early in the twenty‐first century, neuroscience has developed into a major research field that is rapidly spawning new academic disciplines. One of these is neuroethics, which has been described as an "unexplored continent lying between the two populated shores of ethics and of neuroscience" and "a new area of intellectual and social discourse" (Roskies, 2002). However, neuroethics is not a new research area: for a long time, ethicists have dealt with problems arising from advances in neuroscience, although not necessarily under the label of neuroethics.
So far, neuroethicists have focused mainly on applied neuroethics, such as the ethical issues associated with neuroimaging techniques, cognitive enhancement and neuropharmacology (Illes, 2006). A less prevalent focus is fundamental neuroethics, which investigates how knowledge of the functional architecture of the brain and its evolution can increase our understanding of personal identity, consciousness and intentionality, including the development of moral thought and judgement. Fundamental neuroethics therefore provides applied neuroethics with the theoretical foundations needed to address ethical problems of applying neurological science.
The relevance of neuroscience to fundamental neuroethics depends on which theoretical model of the brain is used to understand complex human behaviour. A naive reductionist model—which postulates that, as consciousness is the product of neuronal activity in the brain, we only have to wait for neuroscience to become sufficiently sophisticated to be able to explain all that there is to know about it (Crick, 1994; Bickle, 2003)—is no longer acceptable.
Neuroethics articles continue to speak of "the astonishing hypothesis" that "the mind is the brain" (Illes & Racine, 2005), but this is either trivial or absurd. The insight that mind and brain are not dual entities might have been astonishing when it was first realized, but it is now common scientific knowledge. However, this does not imply that objective knowledge about neuronal activities in the brain can tell us all that there is to know about consciousness without referring to subjective accounts that are based on self‐reflection. No objective third‐person description can fully capture the first‐person view from its own perspective; it needs to be experienced first‐hand to be known, and to live the experience of another is a logical impossibility. Fundamental neuroethics must therefore acknowledge both the embodiment of consciousness and the irreducible subjective perspective. Moreover, as the subjective experience of the brain mobilizes emotions that constitute an essential feature of moral judgement, fundamental neuroethics must also take into account the role of emotions and values.
Here, I suggest a model of the brain that might provide a theoretical framework for neuroethics: informed materialism. It has a high explanatory value with regard to the evolution and nature of moral judgement, notably under the aspects of subjective evaluation, free will and personal or public responsibility. The concept of informed materialism was originally used in chemistry (Bachelard, 1953), but has been used in neuroscience to oppose both dualism and naive reductionism (Changeux, 2004). It is founded in the notion that all elementary processes of the brain are based on physicochemical mechanisms, and adopts an evolutionary view of consciousness as a biological function of neuronal activities. However, this model also describes the brain as an autonomously active, projective and variable system, in which emotions and values are incorporated as necessary constraints. Owing to the way in which our brains acquire knowledge of ourselves and the world, informed materialism acknowledges that adequate understanding of our subjective experience must take into account self‐reflective information, physiological observations and physical measurements (Dehaene et al, 2003; Changeux, 2004).
In this model, emotions have an important role; some researchers propose that they mark the dawn of consciousness (Denton, 2005), motivation, planning and volition, and increase the capacity of an organism to exert control over itself (LeDoux, 1996). Current hypotheses of knowledge acquisition posit that spontaneously arising pre‐presentations are selected by reward signals, and are stabilized as representations after confirmation by both external experience and internal evaluation processes (Dehaene & Changeux, 1991). Such models of the world are stabilized through cognitive games as permanent features of a developing cognitive apparatus (Dehaene et al, 1998; Changeux, 2004). The anticipation of a reward creates a delay between the elaboration of tacit plans and the actual interaction with the world, which is an additional component of cognitive learning and a building block for the neural basis of morality (Schultz, 2006; Schultz et al, 1997).
A non‐emotional system, by contrast, would be passive and incapable of self‐organization, evaluation or anticipation, and hence learning; without any values, a system cannot learn or remember (Edelman, 1992). The complex behaviour of humans might not have evolved without the basic feature of consciousness, and consciousness could not have evolved without emotions. From the perspective of an informed materialist, dynamic processes of evaluation and the emotional systems that are involved in their generation are basic properties of our brains: we are neurobiologically predisposed to develop complex and diverse systems of moral and other values that allow us to establish appropriate relationships in our social, cultural and physical environments.
The notion of free will is a fundamental moral concept that is central to human experience. Having the freedom to choose is, as a rule, regarded as a necessary condition for moral agency and personal responsibility, around which all societies are built. With reference to neuroscience, our experience of having free will has been considered illusory by virtue of being a useful but fictional brain construct (Smith Churchland, 2002) that is causally determined (Blakemore, 1988) or non‐consciously initiated (Libet, 1999). According to the model suggested here, neither view is valid: an act of will can be 'free' in the sense of being 'voluntary', even if it is a brain construct that is causally determined or influenced by non‐conscious neuronal processes.
The brain might generate illusions under certain conditions, but the fact that an experience is a brain construct does not make it illusory. The ability to distinguish between the illusory and the real is necessary for the survival of the organism, and neuronal causation cannot be a token of the illusory, lest all we experience is an illusion.
To the extent that our choices are not causally determined or, on the contrary, causally predetermined, our experience of voluntary decision‐making might seem illusory: in the first case, we are generators of chance; in the second, we live on autopilot. Informed materialism rejects both theories. The brain is not a causal system that functions with conditional necessity; it admits random events and variable outcomes. This contradicts the naive picture of the brain as a rigid automaton the operation of which is strictly predetermined (Blakemore, 1988)—a model that would have low explanatory value with respect to morality, as automatons are not moral agents.
The brain is, consciously and non‐consciously, a volitional organ (Libet et al, 1999; Ingvar, 1999), which is distinguished by its plasticity, and by the general capacity of the neuron and its synapses to change properties as a function of their state of activity. The brain is a gigantic network of neurons, the distribution of which is largely limited by genetics, but is simultaneously dependent on random variations that allow the network to react to physical, social and cultural inputs (Changeux, 1985). This variability implies a form of plastic determinism in which causal antecedents can produce variable outcomes.
The variability theorem states that distinct learning inputs can produce varying connective organizations and neuronal abilities, but similar behavioural abilities (Changeux et al, 1973; Changeux, 2004). This is a consequence of the 'synapse selection' in which new combinatory patterns are continually produced and tested as a neural embodiment of creative activity. This happens whenever the brain produces communicable representations of the world despite phenotypic variance of its synaptic connectivity. The ability of epigenesis—by selectively stabilizing neurons and synapses during development—to take variability into account is one of its main outcomes (Changeux, 1985). An additional advantage is that free will reappears; plastic determinism restores an element of voluntary influence that can act as a basis for personal responsibility.
The nature of this influence might be largely non‐conscious. From a neurophysiological point of view, consciousness is only the tip of a mental iceberg (LeDoux, 1996; Dehaene et al, 2006), which, by virtue of its limited capacity, continuously needs to liberate space, such as by developing routine non‐conscious behaviour. It has been argued that we have no control over, and therefore are not responsible for, non‐consciously motivated acts, which might be volitional but not voluntary and hence not free (Libet, 1999). These assumptions are questionable. Admittedly, we cannot be held responsible for an act that is not the result of conscious deliberation; however, a distinction between voluntary and non‐voluntary can be drawn in both the conscious and the non‐conscious mental realms. Underlying our conscious experiences are brain mechanisms of which we are unaware—notably, non‐conscious emotions, cognitive programmes and stored memories—but our conscious neuronal workspace and processes are not causally disconnected from these mechanisms. The causal influence between the conscious and the non‐conscious is not unilateral but instead mutual, although asymmetrical. The possibility of consciously influencing non‐conscious mental mechanisms is a crucial assumption in any programme of education, self‐improvement or therapy, and must be taken into account to determine the role of consciousness in producing actions. If their influence is mutual, non‐conscious mechanisms might pose a challenge to, and sometimes reduce, conscious control without excluding it in principle.
Under the model of informed materialism, it is not reasonable to maintain that only conscious decisions can properly be described as free. The brain, in its social and cultural context, exhibits will through the capacity to desire, and free will through the capacity to strive for the satisfaction of this desire. Free will would therefore be the capacity to acquire causal power coupled with the capacity to influence the use of that power. This power creates responsibility. To the extent that we might influence our non‐conscious, we can be personally responsible for behaviour resulting from these non‐conscious influences. Given a certain level of maturity, the brain—functioning in a given social and cultural environment—can accordingly be regarded as a 'responsible organ'. In this model, humans act as free and responsible agents, while being contingently causally determined and influenced by non‐conscious processes that are not beyond conscious control. Rather than posing a new threat to the morally fundamental notions of free will and personal responsibility, neuroscience can offer them empirical support.
This implies that evolution and natural selection have created an evaluative cerebral architecture with a propensity for performing free and responsible moral choices, and that morality is a biologically conditioned social phenomenon that has evolved genetically and epigenetically through the communication and interaction of self‐aware organisms. Self‐awareness—the capacity to identify oneself as a subject of experience—is typically accompanied by self‐interest, which is an innate preference that creates an urge to control the immediate environment.
In social creatures, self‐awareness also inspires interest in others, primarily those to whom the self can relate and with whom it identifies, such as the next of kin (Singer et al, 2006). In intelligent social species, the interest in the self—already active in the newborn—is extended to endorse close family members and then the social group, but distinctions are soon drawn between 'we' and 'they' (Decety, 2007). We typically extended sympathy and aid to others depending on their closeness to us in terms of innate dispositions (Hart et al, 2000), but also in relation to epigenetically acquired differences in culture, ideology and so forth. This is where the field of ethics arises. In distinguishing the self from others, and drawing lines between 'we' and 'they', a hierarchy becomes established at the social level, and moral theory becomes a wealth of analyses and proposals regarding the relationships between these different levels (Ricoeur, 1992). Conflicts within a society or community, or between individuals, are related mostly to group distinctions and to the distribution of privileges (Changeux & Ricoeur, 2000).
The genetic control over the development of the brain is therefore not absolute: the epigenetic model of neuronal development postulates that the connections between neurons are not pre‐specified in the genes, but instead that learning and experience influence the development of the brain within the boundaries of a 'genetic envelope'.
The formation of synapses takes place both prenatally and postnatally; it is far from complete at birth, and the postnatal development of the human brain lasts considerably longer than in any other mammalian species (Bourgeois, 1997). The most intense development occurs during the first two years, but the process continues long after puberty; in fact, the highest executive functions determined by the frontal lobe are not fully mature until the age of around 20 years. The environment is important for this process. If neural networks do not stay active they vanish, possibly irreversibly (Katz & Shatz, 1996). The socio‐cultural structures of the group and the neuronal functions of the individual therefore develop symbiotically. The architecture of our brains contributes to our social behaviour and the types of society that we create, which in turn influence the development of the brain. The neuronal features that develop as a result of learning and experience can therefore be passed on through generations.
This normative relevance of neuroscience should not be understood in the naive sense of describing facts that entail or constitute norms. It is commonly accepted that normative judgements, moral or otherwise, cannot logically be derived from descriptive statements—committing what in philosophy is known as "the naturalistic fallacy" (Moore, 1903). This fallacy has different versions; the one that is relevant here consists of deriving an 'ought to be' from an 'is', which is a conceptual mistake that informed materialism does not make.
Mere factual descriptions of the functional architecture of the brain are not tantamount to making recommendations or assertions of norms; nevertheless, there are important empirical, notably causal, connections between biological facts, norms and moral values. Norms are brain constructs that are biologically, as well as culturally, embedded in and constrained by socio‐cultural structures. A major responsibility of fundamental neuroethics is to decipher this network of causal connections between the neurobiological, socio‐cultural and contingent historical perspectives that gave rise to moral norms at a given moment in human history, and to evaluate their 'universal' character as pre‐specified in our genome and shared by members of the human species. The 'fallacy' of the naturalistic approach therefore becomes inverted into a responsibility.
Neuroscientific knowledge can deepen our understanding of who we are, and of how we function as neurobiological and social creatures. It can help to explain the mechanisms of normative judgement and how morality has evolved. This knowledge might allow us to solve social problems, improve our mental, physical and social health, refine our education systems and develop our societies (Evers, 2005). By contrast, it can also be put to civilian or military misuse, and neuroethics must maintain a high level of vigilance in this regard (Evers, 2007). As scientific responsibility cannot arise in the absence of scientific adequacy, applied neuroethics needs plausible theoretical frameworks developed by fundamental neuroethics. An informed materialist view of the brain might provide a scientifically adequate and philosophically fruitful start to develop such frameworks and a philosophy for neuroethics.

BODMER, Karl (1809-1893)
Mássika, Saki Indian. Wakusáee, Musquake Indian
[Tab. 3] Paris, Coblenz and London: [1839-1842]. Hand-coloured aquatint engraving by Hürlimann after Bodmer, blindstamp. Sheet size: 17 3/4 x 24 7/16 inches. Plate mark: 15 5/8 x 19 1/4 inches.
A fine double portrait of these warriors from the Sauk (or Sac) and Fox (Mesquaki, Muskake or Muskwaki) Tribes. Both men are shown half length and were apparently sketched by Bodmer on 27 and 28 March 1833 in St. Louis, Missouri, during the two week period when final arrangements were made for the travelers' journey up the Missouri River. Mássika (`Turtle') was one of a number of Sauk and Fox who came to St. Louis to try to arrange the release of Black Hawk, a Sauk chief, who had engaged in a series of running battles with the US Army before being defeated and captured on 3 August 1832.
Karl Bodmer's images show great versatility and technical virtuosity and give us a uniquely accomplished and detailed picture of a previously little understood (and soon to vanish) way of life. Swiss-born Bodmer was engaged by Prince Maximilian zu Wied-Neuwied (1782-1867) specifically to provide a record of his travels in North America, principally among the Plains Indians. In the company of David Dreidoppel (Prince Maximilian's servant and hunting companion), their travels in North America were to last from 1832 to 1834. Well-armed with information and advice, the party finally left St.Louis, on the most important stage of their travels, aboard the steamer Yellow Stone on April 10 1833. They proceeded up the treacherous Missouri River along the line of forts established by the American Fur Company. At Bellevue they encountered their first Indians, then went on to make contact with the Sioux tribe, learning of and recording their little known ceremonial dances and powerful pride and dignity. Transferring from the Yellow Stone to another steamer, the Assiniboin, they continued to Fort Clark, visiting there the Mandan, Mintari and Crow tribes, then the Assiniboins at Fort Union, the main base of the American Fur Company. On a necessarily much smaller vessel they journeyed through the extraordinary geological scenery of that section of the Missouri to Fort Mackenzie in Montana, establishing a cautious friendship with the fearsome Blackfeet. From this, the westernmost point reached, it was considered too dangerous to continue and the return journey downstream began. The winter brought its own difficulties and discomforts, but Bodmer was still able to execute numerous studies of villages, dances and especially the people, who were often both intrigued and delighted by his work. The portraits are particularly notable for their capturing of individual personalities, as well as forming a primary account of what were to become virtually lost cultures.

Hancock tops South Mountain in 9-10 softball district opener
• YOUTH SOFTBALL
BOONSBORO — Hancock defeated South Mountain 24-18 in four innings in the opening game of the District 1 9-10 tournament Monday.
Hancock pitchers Aaliyah Orndorff and Brooklyn McCusker combined for a one-hitter, while South Mountain's Kalyn Lawrence and Mischa Slattery allowed four hits.
Orndorff went 2-for-2 with five RBIs, while McCusker and Alyssa Morris each hit a single and drove in a combined three runs for Hancock.
Salomen Grullon had South Mountain's only hit — a three-run single in the bottom of the first — and Elizabeth Coughran recorded an RBI groundout in the second.
All the other runs were scored on bases-loaded walks or wild pitches.
South Mountain led 6-2 after the first inning, but Hancock tied it up in the top of the second.
South Mountain scored 10 runs in the bottom of the second to make it 16-6, and Hancock answered with a 12-run third.
Hancock tallied six more runs in the top of the fourth, and South Mountain only managed to get two runs in the bottom half before the umpires ended the game due to darkness.
Hancock will host Conococheague on Tuesday at 6 p.m., and the loser of the game will travel to play South Mountain on Wednesday.

Schultz out in Oregon
SUNRIVER, Ore. — Beaver Creek pro Dirk Schultz missed the cut in the PGA Professional Championship at Sunriver Resort following his second round on Monday.
Seeking to reach the 90 low score cutline after Monday's round to move forward in a hunt for a pot in the PGA Championship in August, Schultz carded a second-straight 5-over-par 77 that left him 10 over par, well off the cutline.
Bradshaw tied for 4th at Fuhrer
PITTSBURGH — Harpers Ferry, W.Va., native David Bradshaw completed his 36-hole action Monday in the first day of the Frank B. Fuhrer Jr. Invitational in line to move toward a third straight win.
Bradshaw, the two-time defending champion, shot a pair of 1-over-par 71s at the Pittsburgh Field Club. He was in a tie for fourth place, four strokes off the lead when play was halted late Monday night.
The 40-man field returns Tuesday and will complete the tournament Wednesday.

'Boro ended their four match streak without a win with a deserved 1-0 win away at Eastbourne.
The hosts started brightly, and it was somewhat against the run of play when Matt Ball clipped the ball past the excellent Danny Potter in the Eastbourne goal on 14 minutes.
Both sides created chances in what was an open game, and if not for fine performances by both keepers and some wayward finishing there would have been more goals for the crowd to enjoy.

Q: Publish to all suave websockets How can I broadcast an event to all websocket clients in the below code example:
let echo (ws : WebSocket) =
    fun cx -> socket {
        let loop = ref true
        while !loop do
            let! msg = ws.read();
            match msg with
            | (Text, data, true) ->
                let str = UTF8.toString data
                printfn "****** Received: %s" str
                do! ws.send Text data true
            | (Ping, _, _) ->
                do! ws.send Pong [||] true
            | (Close, _, _) ->
                do! ws.send Close [||] true
                loop := false
            | _ -> ()
    }

let start home port =
    let config =
        { defaultConfig with
            logger = Logging.Loggers.saneDefaultsFor Logging.LogLevel.Verbose
            bindings = [ (if port |> String.IsNullOrEmpty then
                            HttpBinding.mkSimple HTTP "127.0.0.1" 3000
                          else HttpBinding.mkSimple HTTP "0.0.0.0" (int32 port)) ]
            homeFolder = home |> Some }

    let app =
        choose
            [
                path "/echo" >=> handShake echo
                NOT_FOUND "Sorry there is nothing there"
            ]

    startWebServer config app

So, basically, I want to be able to send a message to the server websocket, and have that message echoed to all current websocket clients. The use case is that I have a file watcher that sends a message to the server websocket and a websocket client in the browser that will refresh the browser if a message is received.
I think I need to keep a list of clients, but I am not sure what the best approach would be using suave.
As an example, using express this is simple:
(function () {
    var debug = require('debug')('app:server');
    var app = require('express')();
    var ws = require('express-ws')(app);

    var PORT = process.env.PORT || 1337;

    // enable cors
    app.use(function (req, res, next) {
        res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
        res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers",
            "Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept");
        return next();
    });

    app.get('/', function (req, res, next) {
        debug('get route');
        res.send('hello');

Tina Brooks - True Blue
COLOR VINYL: BLACK VINYL LIMITED EDITION BLUE VINYL [Add $15.00]
Tina Brooks' passionate full sound and forward-looking style, along with his exceptional compositional gifts, made him a powerful force during his prime years. Brooks' star burned with intense brightness for a brief period before disappearing in the same tragic manner of too many other young bop players of the time. Even many of the most dedicated jazz fans missed Brooks' recordings, the best of which were simply extraordinary.
A soulful hard bop tenor-saxophonist with an original sound and fresh ideas of his own, Brooks (1932-74) had a brief life. He started out playing with Amos Milburn and Lionel Hampton. The prime of his career was during 1958-61 when he recorded four albums for Blue Note, including his most significant recording, True Blue. True Blue has long been one of the most sought-after Blue Notes of all time.
Recorded in June, 1960, True Blue showcases Brooks along with the young firebrand trumpeter Freddie Hubbard (in one of his earliest sessions), pianist Duke Jordan, bassist Sam Jones and drummer Art Taylor in a set of highly inventive originals. True Blue gives listeners plenty of proof of Tina Brooks' majestic sound and soulful writing prowess. For many aficionados of the Blue Note label, True Blue is the very essence of the Blue Note sound and feel.

"WILMINGTON, DE—Charles M. Oberly, III, United States Attorney for the District of Delaware, announced today that a superseding indictment was handed down yesterday by the federal grand jury charging Donald L. Dutton, Sr. and Vicki R. Dutton, of Ellendale, Delaware, with one count of conspiracy to defraud the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) by failing to file individual and corporate tax returns (18 U.S.C. § 371) and four counts of willful failure to file tax returns (26 U.S.C. § 7203). The federal grand jury had previously charged the defendants on September 6, 2011 with one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1349) and five counts of mail fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1341).
According to the superseding indictment, the defendants conspired to defraud the IRS by failing to report approximately $1.8 million in taxable income that they earned between 2005 and 2008 as the owners and operators of trucking companies in Georgetown, Delaware called Little D. Trucking Co. Inc. and D. Dutton Trucking Co. Inc. In particular, the defendants' allegedly filed no individual tax returns (Form 1040s) and no corporate tax returns (Form 1120s) on behalf of Little D. Trucking Co. Inc. with the federal government during this timeframe.
To conceal the income generated by the trucking companies, the defendants allegedly directed office staff to prepare false spreadsheets that inflated their business deductions. For example, the superseding indictment lists personal expenses such as jewelry, clothing, and child support, which the defendants categorized as business expenses on these spreadsheets. The defendants allegedly presented these spreadsheets to their accountant for tax preparation purposes.
The superseding indictment further charges that, between 2005 and 2009, the defendants failed to report to the Internal Revenue Service wages paid to the 15-22 truck drivers and office staff employed by their trucking companies.
The superseding indictment added the tax-related charges to prior allegations of mail fraud conspiracy and mail fraud, which involved a $1.3 million scheme to defraud Allens Family Foods (Allens). Allens was a poultry processing company based in Seaford and Harbeson, Delaware that declared bankruptcy this past June due to financial woes largely unrelated to the alleged scheme. Dutton Trucking hauled loads for Allens as an outside vendor. The superseding indictment alleges that the defendants billed Allens for trucking loads that were not actually hauled by Dutton Trucking. The Duttons allegedly paid a former Allens dispatch clerk a substantial cash kickback for her assistance in the fraud.
If convicted of the pending charges, the defendants face up to 20 years in prison on each count of mail fraud and mail fraud conspiracy and up to five years in prison for the conspiracy to defraud the IRS, in addition to possible fines and restitution. The four counts of willful failure to file tax returns are misdemeanors, each punishable by up to one year in prison.
The case is the result of an investigation conducted by the Seaford, Delaware Police Department; the Federal Bureau of Investigation; and Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation. The prosecution is being handled by Assistant United States Attorneys Ilana Eisenstein and Jamie McCall, District of Delaware. For further information, please contact AUSA Eisenstein at 302-573-6082 or AUSA McCall at 302-573-6079.

Q: address value of character pointers //if the code is
char str[]="hello";
char *sptr=&str[2];
cout<<sptr;

//the output is not a hexadecimal value but llo
....why?
//also consider the following code
char array[]="hello world";
char array1[11];
int i=0;
while(array[i]!='\0')
{array1[i]=array[i];
 i++;}

//if we print array1,it  is printed as hello world, but it should have stopped when the space between hello and world is encountered.

A: The operator<< overload used by output streams is overloaded for const char* so that you can output string literals and C strings more naturally.
If you want to print the address, you can cast the pointer to const void*:
std::cout << static_cast<const void*>(sptr);

In your second problem, \0 is the null terminator character:  it is used to terminate the string.  array actually contains "hello world\0", so the loop doesn't stop until it reaches the end of the string.  The character between hello and world is the space character (presumably):  ' '.

A: *

*When you print a char*, it's printed as a string.

*'\0' is not ' '

A: Regarding your first question:
By default, a char is interpreted as its textual representation trough a call to std::cout.
If you want to output the hexadecimal representation of your character, use the following code:
std::cout << std::hex << static_cast<int>(c);

Where c is your character.
In your code:
cout<<sptr;

sptr is a pointer to a char, not a char so std::cout displays it as a C-string.
Regarding your second question:
A space is the ASCII character 32, not 0. Thus your test just checks for the ending null character for its copy.

A: With regards to cout, there is a special overload for writing const char * (and char *) to streams that will print the contents rather than the pointer.
With regards to array1, actually there is nothing wrong with making it size 11 as you do not copy the null byte into it. The issue comes though when you try printing it, as it will try to print until it finds a 0 byte and that means reading off the end of the array.
As it stands the compiler may well pad out a few bytes because the next thing that follows is an int so it is likely to align it. What is actually in that one byte of padding could be anything though, not necessarily a zero character.
The next few characters it is likely to meet will be the int itself, and depending on the endian-ness the zero byte will be either the first or second.
It is technically undefined behaviour though.
