Garmin Nuvifone G60 Review: GPS Enabled Smartphone
GPS Navigation Systems, Electronics
Robust Body and Wide Screen
Operation and Salient Specs
Downsides
Pay More for Extra Services
Is it Worth Your Buck?
When you consider Garmin's extensive experience in manufacturing top class GPS devices, the G60 was expected to be a grand success. But, at the same time, it was Garmin's first attempt to market a smartphone and so it's no wonder they couldn't exceed customers' expectations in this regard.
Even after two years of wait, the Garmin Nuvifone G60 looked as though it had been rolled out in a hurry, lacking several important features, which were greatly expected from an electronics giant like Garmin.
The Garmin Nuvifone G60 comes with a robust build factor, a design which can easily survive a few tumbles and steep falls and it weighs about 4.8 oz. Measuring about 4.4 inches in height, 2.3 inches in width, and 0.5inches in thickness, the Nuvifone G60 is definitely one of the more slim and trendy pocket-friendly devices, though definitely caters to the need of car navigation pretty well (something slimmer would have been better of course).
Garmin Nuvifone comes with preloaded maps and voice-guided directions by default, eliminating the need to subscribe to any location-based services.
The phone is a Linux-based smartphone offering exceptional navigational capabilities of a high-end navigation device and the basics of a smartphone such as e-mail, document viewing, calendar, wireless connectivity and HTML Web browser. However, several system and UI issues have been reported by users and the reviewers.
The display resolution isn't that great, nevertheless it is clear and bright enough to view maps with great ease even on the move (if you're trying to use the Nuvifone as a navigator).
The operation of the Garmin Nuvifone G60 is pretty much based on similar lines of Garmin's countless PND devices.
But, there isn't much to the Nuvifone design, as it doesn't come with too many extra physical keys, apart from the power button that can be found on top of the device, along with the volume rocker and camera activation/capture buttons, which are located on the right side of the phone.
The G60 has a 3.5-inch, 65,000-color touch screen. It also has a decent screen resolution of 272x480 pixels, though it is definitely not one of the sharpest displays that you'll find.
The smarpthones also comes with a 3.2MP camera with auto-focus functionality, and decent music-playback capabilities. But, there are several pitfalls and downsides to the Nuvifone too. So, let us move on to the major cons of the Garmin Nuvifone G60.
At first, the Nuvifone looks quite smooth in operation and straightforward enough, but you'll slowly discover its downsides as you use it for a little while.
First up, the on-screen text and images don't look quite as smooth as you'd expect. Secondly, you'll come across a number of navigation problems and inconsistencies that result in a bad user experience.
For instance, the Nuvifone badly lacks a dedicated home key. As a result, if you go deep into the phones sub-menus, you'll have a hard time coming out of them, needing to tap relentlessly on the 'Back' button.
Another weird thing about the Nuvifone is that the QWERTY keyboard format works just in landscape mode so you have to use the ABC keyboard format in portrait mode. This will definitely give you a feeling that Garmin did not give it enough time to test the phone and improve on it before rolling it out into the market.
Even as far as the pricing goes, at $299.99 users may be better off buying any other GPS-enabled smartphone and using the TeleNav Navigator services, not to mention the two-year contract.
Lastly, I became more disappointment because you'll find only the wal charger and no car charger inside the box! (yeah that could be some serious disappointment, if you picked the Nuvifone and set out on a long trip).
The Nuvifone ships with a vehicle mount (dash and wind-shield, but disappointingly, there's no car charger included in the box as mentioned earlier. It comes loaded with a database of over a million Points of interest (POI) giving category-wise listings of lodges, restaurants, hotels, shopping malls, big landmarks and major entertainment venues in the users location.
What's more, Garmin and AT&T do provide value-added connected services, like Yellowpages.com for carrying out business searches on-the-fly, and to check Flight Status along with vital details like arrival and departure times, gate numbers, and more.
The Nuvifone also supports Ciao, Garmin's location-based social networking app.
The Garmin Nuvifone G60 is capable of getting real-time traffic updates, weather information, fuel prices, and the like, but you'll have to pay $5.99 per month for the privilege. However, some good news is that you can try a 30-day complimentary trial to these premium connected services, then decide if the cost per month is worth the use you get out of the services.
The answer to the above question totally depends upon what you really expect to get out of the Nuvifone G60. If you're planning to make a few calls, use WiFi to browse the net and use the Nuvifone as a navigator, then you may not find much to complain about and it may definitely be worth your money, but if you're an advanced user and expect a lot from a high-end smartphone, you may be a bit disappointed with some of its aspects.
As a whole, the Garmin Nuvifone G60 is a decent option in its segment for sure!
Note: Rather than spending $300 on the Nuvifone, you may also consider buying one of AT&T's GPS-enabled smartphones and adding the TeleNav Navigator service to it.

The problem is that we have got from the ISP a single public IP, and we need to host our own public webservers (more than one) in our LAN. How to do this?
The first thing to be done is to use port forwarding (also called Destination NAT or DNAT) to forward the tcp ports 80 and 443 from the gateway (MikroTik in out case) to an internal webserver on our LAN. Then we could use the name-based virtual hosting of apache2 to host several domains/subdomains on the same webserver and everything would be fine.
However the issue is a little bit more complicated than this, because sometimes it is not possible (or suitable, or convenient) to host two different websites on the same server. For example our website is built on Joomla, and it has some modules that do not work well with the latest version of PHP (5.3), and it depends on PHP-5.2. Also, sometimes it can be suitable/convenient to use appliancies from TurnKey Linux (http://www.turnkeylinux.org/), for easy installation and maintenance, but they need to have their own server. What to do in this case?
In this case, the Reverse Proxy module of apache2 comes to rescue. The idea is that the main webserver forwards the http requests to the other webservers, behaving like a kind of http gateway or hub.
Let's see how to do the configuration. Suppose that we have the subdomains www.cit.edu.al, www-test.cit.edu.al, moodle.cit.edu.al and ocw.cit.edu.al. The first two domains will be hosted on the same webserver, and moodle and ocw will have their own webserver each.
Don't forget to modify the serial number, and then restart the service with service bind9 restart.
Enable SSL Name-Based virtual hosting.
Enable SSL Name-Based virtual hosting (as described previously).
Place the files of the websites on the directories /var/www/cit/ and /var/www/cit-test/.
Do the same thing for the other webservers as well.

Cleopatra Hospital to Acquire Alameda Health's Egypt Assets
Dinesh Nair and Mirette Magdy
(Bloomberg) -- Cleopatra Hospital Group, the biggest Egyptian private hospital operator by number of beds, agreed to buy Alameda Healthcare Group's assets in the country in one of the largest African health-care transactions this year.
The board of Cleopatra has approved the planned purchase, according to a statement Sunday, which confirmed an earlier Bloomberg News report. Cleopatra plans to partially fund the deal by issuing convertible loan notes to Alameda controlling shareholder Fahad Khater.
The deal could value Alameda at about $450 million to $500 million including debt, according to a person familiar with the matter. Khater, Alameda's founder, will become the second-largest shareholder in the combined group with an expected stake of about 25% after the transaction, the person said, asking not to be identified because the information is private.
Cleopatra said the new shares will have a lock-up period of 12 months from the conversion date. After the deal closes, Khater will become a "key and strategic shareholder" in Cleopatra and will take the title of vice chairman of the Egyptian company, in addition to his role as chairman of the Alameda hospitals.
The deal would combine two of Egypt's biggest private medical providers at a time when the coronavirus pandemic has raised the importance of specialized care. Investor appetite for health-care assets in the Middle East and Africa has grown in recent years due to the region's increasing population and a shortage of public services.
More Dealmaking
Saudi pediatrician Sulaiman Abdulaziz Al-Habib raised 2.63 billion riyals ($701 million) through an initial public offering of his eponymous company earlier this year. Meanwhile, two of the Middle East's largest sovereign wealth funds are weighing a joint purchase of Bausch Health Cos.'s Cairo-based drug unit, Bloomberg News reported in November.
Cleopatra, which has a market value of about $481 million, has grown through acquisitions since it was set up in 2014. The company operates six hospitals with nearly 800 beds in total, according to its website.
After the deal closes, the combined bed capacity would climb to around 1,450, representing 15% of the total in Greater Cairo and around 4% nationwide, Ahmed Badreldin, Cleopatra's chairman, said in a statement.
Alameda's network includes tertiary care hospitals in Cairo, as well as diagnostic centers, outpatient clinics and specialist care facilities.
EFG Hermes is acting as financial adviser while Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and Zulficar & Partners are acting as legal counsels to Cleopatra. White & Case and Matouk Bassiouny & Hennawy, ALC Alieldean, Weshahi & Partners and Dechert LLP are acting as legal counsel to Alameda Healthcare Group and CI Capital is acting as their financial advisers.

La Calle Ranganathan (en tamil: இரங்கநாதன் தெரு ) es una calle en T. Nagar, Chennai, en la India. Se encuentra en los alrededores a la estación de tren Mambalam. Muchos establecimientos comerciales se pueden encontrar en Ranganathan. Se trata de una de las calles más transitada en una ciudad a lo largo de la India.

Lo que actualmente se conoce como la calle Ranganathan debería haber sido la calle Rangaswamy Iyengar en honor de la primera residente de esa calle. Era la práctica habitual nombrar las calles en recuerdo del primer residente, independientemente de su clase, casta o contribución.

Top 10 Comic Book Movies
According to a non-fan over at MSN, these are the "Top 10"
Galactus | 4/30/2003
Filed Under: "Other" Source: MSN Entertainment
From superheros to super-geeks, MSN recalls the best comic book/strip films ever made.
Though immensely popular through decades, the comic book/strip has not been adaptive fodder for cinema's finest films. In the world of movies, there's been a less-than-serious look at the pulpy art form. But as comic geeks age into our new century, there's a heightened respect for the artistry and layered themes in the characters of Marvel, DC, Manga (Japanese comic books which deserve their own list of best films) and more independent graphic novelists.
With that, the comic book has been crawling out of geekdom with the full acceptance of critics and audiences alike. Hence, the big star treatment of Ben Affleck in the red suit as Daredevil, the dark Marvel comic created by Stan Lee and later made even darker by Frank Miller. Also coming up is The Hulk, from critics' darling Ang Lee, and Bryan Singer's X-Men 2, while director Brett Ratner searches for his Clark Kent. And with the nonstop talk of new projects, there are even more comics in the pipeline.
So, as we wait for more superheroes slugging out bad guys, we re-visit some of the best comic book/strip movies ever made. It's a tough task, but someone's got to do it:
10. Flash Gordon (1980)
The ultra-campy Flash Gordon remains terrible fun. Sure, it's partially the reason comic-book films weren't taken very seriously, but then what other film has a fantastic score by Queen? Made with an insane amount of color and detail, the film is a bizarre delight (disco planets, freaky trees and a green egg are just some high points). The plot? Flash Gordon must fight the evil of Ming the Merciless (yep, that's Max von Sydow) while getting the girl (a gorgeous Melody Anderson) and saving the universe. Check your brain and enjoy the show.
9. Dick Tracy (1990)
Warren Beatty (as producer, director and star) adapted Chester Gould's popular comic strip into this beautiful film with a primary palette shot in only seven colors. The cast is as impressively eye-popping, including Dustin Hoffman as Mumbles and Al Pacino as an inspired Big Boy Caprice. Remarkably, Madonna was also decent as Breathless Mahoney singing the lovely Stephen Sondheim Oscar-winning tune, "Sooner or Later."
8. Popeye (1980)
You have to be a special kind of person to love Robert Altman's Popeye. Maligned by too many as silly, this cartoonish musical looks exactly like E.C. Segar's comic strip, with Robin Williams and Shelley Duvall perfectly embodying Popeye and Olive Oyl, respectively (Duvall was born to play the string bean). And kudos to Paul Thomas Anderson who, 22 years later, honored Popeye by using the Harry Nilsson-penned ode "He Needs Me" (sung by Duvall) to punctuate the eccentricity of his romantic Punch-Drunk Love.
7. Superman: The Movie (1978)
Though many argue the second version of the DC Comic legend is better, Richard Donner's first Superman -- despite some dorky moments -- is a solid piece of Americana. Christopher Reeve remains the perfect Superman, Margot Kidder is Lois Lane, the always glorious Gene Hackman has a blast as Lex Luthor, and, in a short scene that suggests Superman may not be as clean-cut as he appears, Marlon Brando shows up as his father.
6. X-Men (2000)
A movie led by a group of mutants (OK, highly evolved mutants) had fans of the comic worried: What's Wolverine going to look like, for example? As it turned out, like a well suited though hairier Hugh Jackman. Less tongue-in-cheek than many comic films, X-Men was introspective and serious, even tackling the Holocaust as back-story for Ian McKellen's deeply pessimistic mutant Magneto. A stirring cast and intriguing story showed that with action and amusement, the comic could be taken seriously.
5. Blade II (2002)
The lesser-known Marvel comic hero -- who is half man, half vampire -- Blade (Wesley Snipes) became something of a cult movie, with legions of fans arguing over which Blade (I or II) is superior. Mexican director and comic-book freak Guillermo del Toro offers a more inspired, gorier and horrifying vision (check out the disgusting "Reaper" vampires that drink both human and vampire blood insatiably). Splendidly made and somehow more personal, del Toro got things right ... and threw a lot of blood around in the process. More directors should follow his R-rated lead in making some of these films for adults.
4. Barbarella (1968)
Unless you're talking to a die-hard feminist, it's hard to find someone who doesn't enjoy Barbarella. Roger Vadim directed his then-wife Jane Fonda as French comic-strip artist Jean-Claude Forest's sci-fi nymphet who wears skimpy, '60s space-age get-ups and, in the most memorable sequence, insatiably breaks the Orgasmatron. Psychedelic, campy and just plain sexy, this is required viewing for every horny nerd out there ... and it's a lot more fun than Austin Powers.
3. Batman Returns (1992)
Director Tim Burton surpasses his original Batman; this one had Michael Keaton reprising his role as the caped crusader, working against Danny De Vito as the demented yet touching Penguin and a torn Michelle Pfeiffer smoldering as Catwoman. Gorgeously shot, with creative sets and an even darker conception, this brooding, atmospheric work captured the true spirit of the Batman graphic novels.
2. Spider-Man (2002)
Tobey Maguire and Willem Dafoe carrying a super-hero movie? For Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, it worked. Sticking to creator Stan Lee's roots, Raimi kept Spidey a nerd by actually casting a believable young man and gave his arch-nemisis the Green Goblin a tortured sympathy. Terrific action sequences, romantic, poignant and fun -- Spider-Man was a blockbuster with a soul.
1. Ghost World (2001)
Terry Zwigoff (who also directed Crumb, the genius documentary about controversial comic-book artist Robert Crumb) filmed Daniel Clowes' graphic novel as comic-book panels coming to life. With Thora Birch and Scarlett Johansson as oddly likable, cantankerous teenagers and Steve Buscemi at his most touching, this is acerbic hilarity along with pain. It is a film that actually gets the humor, sadness, gross pop culture and drudgery that life slings at us ... and at their best, comics too.

Match Day: Medical students learn their future
Fourth-year UND medical students receive their residency 'match'
Submitted photos courtesy of UND School of Medicine & Health Sciences.
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Friday, March 19, 2021, was the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) "Match Day." Match Day for graduating medical students is one of the most important milestones of their young careers. Each year on this day, medical school seniors across the country find out where they will complete their residency, a period of advanced intensive training in their chosen medical specialty, before embarking on independent practice as a physician. Depending on the medical specialty, medical school graduates complete anywhere from three to seven years of residency training after medical school.
Although the UND School of Medicine & Health Sciences (SMHS) typically holds Match Day events on all four SMHS campuses in North Dakota, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic made celebrations more individual.
This year, the 75 members of the Doctor of Medicine Class of 2021 at the UND SMHS received their match notice via email from the NRMP to share with immediate friends and family.
"I matched into the Altru Health System Family Medicine Residency right here in Grand Forks!" beamed West Fargo, N.D., native Sarah Schaeffer (right). "Prior to application season, I debated between choosing a career in obstetrics and gynecology versus family medicine. I am excited about my match in family medicine, and especially at Altru's program. They have a strong curriculum and great residents and faculty. I have a passion for primary care, as well as women's health, and this specialty provides the perfect balance."
For his part, Fargo-Moorhead product Michael Storandt will be heading south — just a bit.
"I matched at Mayo for internal medicine," added the soon-to-be doctor Storandt, noting how his chosen specialty allows him to connect with a variety of patients face-to-face in a longitudinal way. "I'm very excited and thankful to have the opportunity to continue my training there. I'll have the opportunity to really get to know the people I'm serving and form connections, and that has always been my favorite part about medicine."
Primary caregivers
In total, 61 percent of the MD Class of 2021 matched into primary care specialties of family medicine, internal medicine, obstetrics & gynecology, and pediatrics. A full 17 percent (13 of 75) of the cohort are set to enter family medicine, a figure nearly twice the national average of students matching into family medicine.
Other specialties chosen by this year's class include anesthesiology, radiology (diagnostic and interventional), neurology, emergency medicine, psychiatry, and surgery (neurological, orthopedic, and general).
"I matched to a combined internal medicine and pediatrics program at the University of Nebraska Medical Center," said Elko-New Market, Minn., native Audrey Lane (right). "I feel thrilled! I found out where I matched with my fiancé, parents, and younger sister. Initially it felt surreal and I found myself rechecking my email to make sure I'd read it correctly."
"It's hard to sum up all of my feelings and reactions to matching. Part of it is just surreal; it feels hard to believe that I am nearly done with four years of medical school, that I will have my MD in just a matter of months," said Bismarck native Taylor Crothers, who is also headed to Altru's Family Medicine Residency in Grand Forks. "Another emotion is relief since the match process can be stressful and anxiety-inducing. Knowing where my wife and I will be living for the next three years, and knowing that I have a position for training, is a major relief. Another emotion is just excitement. I could not be more excited to be joining the Altru Family Medicine Residency program."
Match Day is the culmination of work conducted by the NRMP, a private, not-for-profit corporation founded in 1952 at the request of medical students to standardize the residency selection process and establish a uniform date of appointment to positions in graduate medical education (GME) training programs. It is governed by a board of directors that includes representatives from national medical and medical education organizations as well as medical students, resident physicians and GME program directors.
"I am excited to begin my journey as a physician at the Center for Family Medicine in Sioux Falls, and look forward to sharing this experience with my family," said Eagle Butte, S.D., native Arna Mora of her match. "I chose family medicine for the opportunity to support and advocate for patients, and their families."
Results of the Match are closely watched because they can predict future changes in the physician workforce. According to the NRMP, 38,106 total positions were offered via the Match this year, the most ever, and 35,194 post-graduate year one (PGY-1) positions were offered, an increase of 928 (2.7%) over 2020. The growth in positions was supported by continued growth in the number of Match-participating programs.
This year's UND cohort will see UND SMHS graduates entering not only the several residency programs in North Dakota, but those at Boston University Medical Center, Yale University, the Mayo Clinics in Rochester, Minn., and Jacksonville, Fla., Baylor University in Texas, the University of Michigan, and universities in California.
"I am very happy for our fourth-year students," said Jim Porter, Ph.D., associate dean for Student Affairs & Admissions at the SMHS. "This class has matched very well, and everyone should feel extremely satisfied that their hard work has paid off. As you go through the list you'll notice that our students matched in some particularly competitive programs and specialties across the country, including many matches right here in North Dakota. We all should be exceedingly proud of their accomplishments."

Exploring the pathways of our lexicon
Hut! The Story Behind a Football Interjection
By Ben Zimmer
The National Football League kicked into gear this past weekend, accompanied by the usual hoopla from the sports media. In honor of the start of the football season, the television show "NFL Films Presents" put together a segment on the word hut, an interjection shouted by quarterbacks when initiating a play. They asked a number of NFL players and coaches their theories about the origin of hut, and then called upon a linguist to set the record straight. That linguist happened to be me, so I found myself unaccountably sharing air time with the likes of Don Shula and Tom Coughlin.
The short answer, which I gave in the interview, is that the hut of the quarterback's cadence ("hut 1, hut 2, hut 3...") almost certainly comes from military cadences for marching, where hut is used to accent a syllable. The military-style hut has been in use since at least World War II, when drill sergeants also began yelling "Atten-hut!" as a call to attention. By the 1950s, quarterbacks had borrowed this technique to develop their own cadences for calling the snap count. Hut is a short, sharp syllable that can be heard clearly over a distance, so it serves the quarterback just as well as a drill sergeant leading a march.
The long answer actually goes back deep into the pre-football era. For centuries, monosyllables like hip, hup, and hep have been used as interjections to draw attention, particularly for animals. Coachmen called out these words for goading horses, and herders used them for steering their flocks. Hup has been recorded in this usage since the 18th century, and hut from the 19th century. Then in the early 20th century, drill sergeants' rhythmic cadences for marching began to take the form of "hip/hup/hep 2, 3, 4." (I've found military examples of hup from 1919, hip from 1923, and hep from 1928.) As hut (and "atten-hut") became popularized in World War II, the military bark got taken up by drillmasters for marching bands, drum corps, and pep squads. For instance, a 1941 guide to marching band drills reads, "Some substitute 'Hup!' or 'Hut!' for 'one,' to gain accent."
The sport of football, meanwhile, was developing its own interjections. Back in the 1890s, John Heisman — of Heisman Trophy fame — introduced the word hike to football. Originally, the center (who puts the ball into play) used one hand to flip the ball under his legs to the quarterback. To alert the center that he was ready to start, a quarterback would use a touch signal, often scratching the center's leg. When playing as a center for the University of Pennsylvania team in 1890-91, Heisman got tricked by an opposing player who scratched his leg. He flipped the ball back, and the quarterback missed the pass. Heisman's solution was to have the quarterback use the word hike to put the ball into motion so that everyone was clear when the play started. Hike was a good choice, since it can mean "to pull or raise with a sudden motion," and that's what the center does with the ball.
Soon after, as a coach, Heisman introduced the "direct snap," where the ball is "hiked" in the now-familiar way. Previously, the ball would be rolled back along the ground or snapped end over end (a "snapback"). In 1893, when Heisman was the coach at Buchtel College (now the University of Akron), he had a very tall quarterback who had trouble with the ball being rolled to him. So Heisman invented the direct snap to allow the center to toss the ball directly up to the quarterback. Every other college team followed Heisman's lead.
The signal calling of quarterbacks then got more and more complex. By the 1920s, "shift formations" had developed, most famously Knute Rockne's "Notre Dame shift." The quarterback would call the signal and then say hip to indicate that the offensive line should shift to new positions on the line of scrimmage. The whole backfield would move when hip was called. The hip of the Notre Dame quarterback ("1, 2, 3, hip!") had a clear kinship with the military marching cadences of the time ("hip 2, 3, 4"), but for onlookers the shift also evoked the hippity-hop of jumping frogs. Various rule changes were enacted to slow down the shift, and the constant motion punctuated by hip became more subdued after the Knute Rockne era of the '20s.
Unlike the hip of Rockne's teams, the hut of the post-war era (for college and professional teams alike) did not necessarily signal a shift of the offensive line. The quarterback could signal for the center to snap the ball on the first, second, or third hut without any shift being called. One early print example of hut (discovered by word sleuth Barry Popik) comes from the Sporting News of Oct. 20, 1954: "Mitchell snaps into position, starts his call and is ready to give it the 'Hut-two, hut-two.'" The Los Angeles Times of July 9, 1955 explained hut in an article about the streamlined system of signal calling used by the L.A. Rams under the coaching of Sid Gillman: "When the quarterback gives the snap at the line of scrimmage ('Hut-one... hut-two... hut-three,' and so on) he sings it out in a nonrhythmic tempo so that the enemy cannot anticipate the center's snap." Since then, quarterback cadences have evolved even further, though hut has remained a common feature.
Of course, this was far too much history to fit into in a brief television interview. But it was a lot of fun digging through the archives to piece together the elaborate back-story of a powerful little word.

All the years of enjoying football (watching only) and I never thought of that little word!
Of course, there can come the question of how our sport on this side of the pond got the name football when it has so little to do with feet! (oops, don't want to upset anyone! I love both sports -- well, counting rugby, all three!)
Soccer... I've tried to sort that word out. Anyone know its history?
Be nice now, Europeans. We do need that word. (smile)

Jane B. - Your comment about being a football watcher strikes a bell here. I enjoy watching it now because my non-playing husband and two non-playing sons have explained the game to me. In my high school years, attending football games was required because my-then-boyfriend was a sax player in the band. I sat with my sorority sisters whose football knowledge was the same 1000th inch depth as mine. The students on "our side" of the field went crazy hearing our team made a first down. And without ever hearing of it again, the opposing team made a first down. When we had the ball again, our team made another "first down." and in the very next play the game announcer said we had made yet another "first down." Everyone got up and cheered each time, so I got up and cheered my heart out, without ever knowing why. Can't they count? Shouldn't this be either Second or Third down? It's so much more fun to watch a football game with even scant information. I think all the games I saw in high school were really ungames. Or perhaps I was an uncheerer. My computer insists that neither of those is a true word. But when I hit the "Learn" key they will be. Thanks for the memories.

Some vocabulary from (American) football.


"Developing an input-output table of China for detailed agricultural policy analysis"
China is a large country with a rapidly growing economy. Although the share of the agricultural sector in the Chinese economy is declining, agriculture remains an important sector, employing hundreds of millions of people.
Given the sheer size of Chinese agriculture, developments in domestic agriculture have major impacts both in China and also in the rest of the world, with potential for large impacts on global agricultural markets. With the entry of China into the WTO in 2001, and the pursuit of regional and bilateral trade deals both by China and trading partners, the ability to provide an accurate assessment of the potential impact of reforms is imperative.
Due to the key role of agriculture and its linkages with the rest of the Chinese economy, a general equilibrium (GE) approach is frequently chosen for this type of assessment. While this approach is appropriate, the accuracy of the results relies on the validity of the underlying data – especially the input-output (IO) tables. Inaccuracies and misrepresentation in the input-output table can bias the results and lead to misleading or incorrect policy conclusions. For China, the lack of a detailed representation of important agricultural sectors in published input-output tables prevents a more targeted and relevant analysis of agricultural policy change.
In this paper, we build an alternate IO table with representations of important agricultural sectors for China. We then evaluate the IO table by comparing results from a simple economic impact analysis using the new data set and another Chinese IO table from a commonly used global GE database. This evaluation shows that discrepancies in representation of agricultural sector in the IO table can bias the results.

"I was a beekeeper," says Naeem Biviji of his life before he returned home to Nairobi nine years ago with his wife, Bethan Rayner. "I made beehives in Berwick-upon-Tweed."
Biviji, who was born and raised in Kenya, decamped to this rustic northern English town, 90 kilometres southeast of the Scottish capital Edinburgh, to a farm called Chain Bridge Honey, shortly after finishing his architectural studies at the University of Edinburgh in 2004. Biviji's time as a beekeeper in Northumberland is important to understanding the working of Studio Propolis, the two-person workshop he co-founded with his wife in 2005.
The studio, which makes bespoke interior furnishings and works on select small-scale architectural projects, takes its name from the resinous binding agent produced by bees to fix and varnish their honeycombs. Unlike beehives, which have a simple hierarchy – there is a queen bee, male drones for mating purposes and sterile female worker bees – Studio Propolis has no hierarchy. Biviji and his wife do all the work, mostly by hand, in a small workshop in a Nairobi industrial township.
Smallness, along with artisanal values, interpersonal relationships and slowness, is an important value at Studio Propolis. "I don't have any aspirations to build big buildings," says Biviji, who recently visited South Africa to attend the triennial world meeting of the International Union of Architects in Durban.
Making things in a workshop is deeply humbling. You make a chair, live with it, and after six months it fails. It is about slowness, he says.
"You have to live with the objects you make and really understand how they affect people in a space. Something as simple as a chair can give you a whole education."
Biviji's emphasis on artisanal thinking partly owes to his upbringing. He grew up in a family of engineers; his father owns a successful steel fabrication business in Nairobi. He however credits Alasdair Gall, an Edinburgh furniture designer and manufacturer, as his key influence. "He is an amazing craftsman," says Biviji, who learnt not only furniture making while living in the UK, but also agricultural construction techniques.
While much of the studio's output tends to be bespoke in nature, Biviji and his wife have a small product line, mostly chairs. These include the Hidechair, a wood-framed easy chair made from African woods and indigenous Kenyan leather. The chair's trim, mid-century modern design recalls the simple utilitarian lines of the furniture made by Finnish architect Alvar Aalto. Unlike Aalto, whose late career was marked by large-scale architectural projects, Biviji is reluctant to think big just yet – in physical scale at least.
"Working so closely in a studio environment I have increasingly realised that a lot of the games that architects play are formalistic," he offers by way of reflection on his decision to maintain a small-scale studio.
We live in an age where everything has to be different and we have to express ourselves differently. This is all that the architect has power over now: the expression of form, Biviji adds.
Even the components that are key to expressing an architect's individual vision are these days made by someone else, he says. The artisanal craft of making a building has become lost in large-scale architecture. "We've become specifiers."
Words like apprenticeship and materials are important to Biviji. Recently, as a response to the dwindling wood supply, the studio has increasingly incorporated steel into its architectural projects, for example producing its own bespoke window- and door-frames. Biviji does all the welding himself.
Working by hand, whether with wood or metal, keys into another of Studio Propolis's core values.
For me, it is about developing an indigenous material culture and skill base in a country where we don't have such a strong vernacular tradition to fall back on – not like in Mali at least, he says.
One of the studio's current projects involves the design and fabrication of a set of doors, pews and a bishop's chair for a Catholic cathedral in the highlands west of the Kenyan Rift Valley. They may seem like small contributions to the larger architectural project but, as Biviji insists, "working at a small scale" still entails grappling with "big issues" that are not unconnected with his formal training. Studio work, he explains, touches on a host of issues that matter: from the way architects are educated nowadays through to the apprentice system and what it takes to manufacture an architectural feature.
Interpersonal relationships – in particular, the ability to deal directly with end-users and address their specific needs – are important to Studio Propolis. "For us it is about people and relationships," says Biviji. "It is not about making furniture, which you can buy anywhere and for cheaper. For us the reason to make is that very intimate relationship we have with the people we get involved with."

Q: How to find all possible curvatures for any smooth curve in a donut? The question is to find all possible curvature for any smooth curve in a donut. I parametrize the donut as
$$((3+\sin v)\sin u, (3+\sin v)\cos u, \cos v)$$
My thought is, since if we keep shrinking a circle, curvature goes to infinity, we only need to find the minimum curvature of any normal section. But I have trouble finding that...

A: If instead of unit normal curvature we have a different normal curvature of the donut ( produced by tightening a string around the tube meridional section for instance ) then its parameterization would be:
$$ [ (3+ \frac{\sin v}{kn})\sin u, (3+ \frac{\sin v}{kn}  )\cos u, \frac{\cos v}{kn}]$$
Yes, when $ kn \to \infty $ we are  left with a thin circle around the middle of torus.
It is then no more a 2D  surface embedded in 3-space, but just a line in 3-space.

The High Volume Air Sampler is used to acquire samples of airborne particulates. Air is pulled through a filter that rests under a weather cap at an average rate of 650 L/min. To perform the most basic test, in addition to the air sampled and provided filters, you will need a desiccator and an analytical balance (1 mg accuracy).
The simplest test involves quantifying the mass of particulates that adhere to the filter after the pump has been run for a four hour period. A more complex analysis would be to compare the amount of particulates in a sample inside and outside of a building. The Air Sample can also be used to obtain a sample for more involved chemical identification and quantification of each type of particulate. This chemical analysis can be done with chemicals available in most high school chemistry laboratories.
Requirements: The Air Sampler needs to be plugged in to operate. Therefore, outside samples can be acquired in outside locations that have access to electricity. Filter paper must be weighed on an analytical balance (not included).
Weigh the filter paper on the analytical balance.
Place a filter on the supporting screen on top of the sampler. Hold the filter in place with the white cover. This also forces all of the air to pass through the filter.
Place the sampler in the desired location and let it run for four hours.
allowing the sample to inflate a large plastic bag of known volume both before and after the four hour test period. Record the time it takes to fill the bag. Use the average of the two flow rates in your calculations.
After sampling for four hours, remove the filter paper and place iti in a desiccator to remove any moisture.
Weigh the filter paper again to determine the net gain of collected particulate material collected per cubic meter of air sampled.


Fractional laser treatment works by targeting both the epidermis and dermis. It does this by delivering a laser beam that is divided into thousands of tiny but deep columns of treatment into the skin. These are called microthermal treatment zones (MTZs). Within each MTZ old epidermal pigmented cells are expelled and penetration of collagen in the dermis causes a reaction that leads to collagen remodelling and new collagen formation. By using MTZs, the laser targets and treats intensively within the zone whilst surrounding healthy tissue remain intact and unaffected. This fractional treatment results in a faster healing process than if all tissue in the treatment area was exposed to the laser.

Global Cross-border E-commerce Knowledge Service Center
The Cross-Border E-Commerce Case of Hangzhou Is Listed on The List of Chinese Cases in The Third Round of China-EU Regional Policy Cooperation of NDRC
To deepen and expand the mechanism of China-EU regional policy cooperation,expand the space for mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation between the two sides,and promote the stable and healthy development of China-EU relations.After expert review and case regional defense,the study identified the Chinese case area of the third round of China-EU regional policy cooperation,with a cooperation period of 2021/ 2023.Among them,the Hangzhou cross-border e-commerce case was included in the list of Chinese case areas.
According to the interpretation of experts from the National Development and Reform Commission,the new round of Chinese case areas have distinct characteristics,and the Chinese case areas rely on unique resource endowments and have distinct areas of cooperation with Europe.Relying on the first-mover advantage of cross-border e-commerce,Hangzhou has built a cross-border e-commerce comprehensive test zone,cross-border e-commerce payment institutions and cross-border e-commerce logistics system,promoting cross-border e-commerce cooperation between China and Europe.
In recent years,cross-border e-commerce"Hangzhou experience"has been replicated and promoted at home and abroad.Last year,China(Zhejiang)Free Trade pilot Zone was successfully approved,and the world's first eWTP public service platform was completed and put into operation.With the steady progress in the construction of overseas parks,the status of"Belt and Road Initiative"as an important node city has become increasingly prominent.
Hangzhou is the first comprehensive test area for cross-border e-commerce in China.Since its establishment in March 2015,the cross-border e-commerce"Hangzhou experience"with"six systems and two platforms"as the core has been replicated and promoted to 104 other comprehensive test areas across the country.The export scale of cross-border e-commerce in Hangzhou in 2020 is nearly five times higher than that of five years ago,and the import and export of cross-border e-commerce in Hangzhou has maintained a rapid growth trend this year.
Hangzhou local cross-border e-commerce platform Global Express,Alibaba International Station,Wholee,Foreign Trade Express,Jiku and other annual exports of about 245 billion yuan,covering more than 200 countries and regions,serving more than 600000 small and medium-sized enterprises.Among them,AliExpress is not only the largest B2C platform for cross-border e-commerce in China,but also has become a world-famous third-party platform for cross-border e-commerce,ranking first in Russian and Spanish e-commerce websites and among the best e-commerce websites in France,Italy,Poland and other European countries.Hangzhou's well-known cross-border e-commerce platform Wholee,relying on a strong supply chain advantage,ranks first in the number of APP downloads in the UK.

Q: Error when trying to compile code: "C80: Illegal indirection" Currently, I am working on an ancient project, and I am trying to fix some errors in order to compile it successfully. I have basic knowledge with c but not enough to fully understand every error in it.
My current problem is that I get the error "C80: '*' illegal indirection", but I don't know why.
Here is the code:
/*----------------------------------------------------*/
/*    Generating *lpDes("%23,1f")(float)(word/1000)   */
/*----------------------------------------------------*/
/* Example: 321 --> 32,1                              */
/*----------------------------------------------------*/
void _lWord2Str4f1(LPSTR lpDes, word w)
{
byte b100, b10;

  b100 = w/100;   w -= 100*b100;
  b10 = w/10;     w -= 10*b10;

  if(b100 > 9) {
    *lpDes++ = '*';
    *lpDes++ = '*';
    *lpDes++ = '*';
    *lpDes = '*';
  } else {
//Test !!!!!
    *lpDes++ = (b100 ? '0' + b100 : ' ');
//    *lpDes++ = '0' + b100;
    *lpDes++ = '0' + b10;
    *lpDes++ = *GetText(TEXT_136); // "Error C80: '*' illegal indirection
    *lpDes = '0' + w;
  }
}

Defintions
typedef char far*       LPSTR;

I have zero clue what this code does as it is part of an ancient operating system for a 16-bit microprocessor.
I've did a bit of research and some suggested changing the error part from *lpDes++ = *GetText(TEXT_136); to lpDes++ = *GetText(TEXT_136); but I don't know if this is possible or a good idea.
How can I change the code without changing its logic?

A: Looking at the code , this is what I can deduce
There is a function to convert and long integer (also called as a lword) to string.
void _lWord2Str4f1(LPSTR lpDes, word w)

if you input 321 you should store 32,1 //notice ,
You first get teh base 100, base 10 and base 1 (stored in w)
Then just add the ascii value of '0' to b100, b10 and b1 to convert it to a ascii character
so below line should just give yo ascii value of ,
*lpDes++ = *GetText(TEXT_136);

maybe ascii value of 136 is ,.
Update:
Ohh.. The problem seems to be that the assignment discards the "const" qualifier.
This may be okay with some compilers, while some just let go it with a warning.

*

*May be there could some compiler options you can change to get
around. GCC doesn't seem to much care. and gives only a warning if
you assign const pointer to a variable pointer.

*Or try adding explicit casting
*(LPSTR)lpDes++ = *(LPSTR)GetText(TEXT_136);
Here's an example to make this clear (this might be still legal and valid under some compilers like gcc)
This can be better explained with an example:
See below,
int * pointer;
int * const const_pointer = &var;
const int * pointer_to_const;

/* a */
pointer = const_pointer; // OK, no cast (same type)

/* b */
pointer_to_const = pointer; // OK, casting 'int*' to 'const int*'

/* c */
pointer = pointer_to_const; // Illegal, casting 'const int*' to 'int*'

I hope you understood.

Q: JArray. How process Jarray if index may change? I need process JSON file that may contain different number of items in JSON array. Currently I'm using such code:
var obj = JArray.Parse(File.ReadAllText(url));
dfd = (from a in obj
       where
           a["PriceItems"][0]["CityFromID"].Value<string>() == cityfromcode &&
           a["PriceItems"][0]["CityToID"].Value<string>() == citytocode &&
           a["PriceItems"][0]["AirlineCode"].Value<string>() == airlinecode
       select new PricesViewModel.DepartureFlightsData
       {
           DepartureCity = a["PriceItems"][0]["CityFromName"].Value<string>(),
           DepartureAirport = a["PriceItems"][0]["AirportFromCode"].Value<string>(),
           DepartureDate = depDate,
           DepartureTime = a["PriceItems"][0]["DepartureTime"].Value<string>(),
           DepartureAirline = a["PriceItems"][0]["AirlineCode"].Value<string>(),
           DepartureFlight = a["PriceItems"][0]["FlightNumber"].Value<string>(),
           DepartureFlightId = a["PriceItems"][0]["FlightID"].Value<string>(),
           Price = a["PriceItems"][0]["Price"].Value<int>(),
           Currency = a["PriceItems"][0]["Currency"].Value<string>()
       }).FirstOrDefault();

But this code will be valid only for the items at specific index, how should I change this code to be able process items on some specific position, different from [0]?
JSON may change from this:

A: As I understood, you'd like receive first of all "PriceItems" objects.
You can use SelectMany() LINQ extension method. That method will do exactly what you want:
var obj = JArray.Parse(File.ReadAllText(url));
dfd = obj.SelectMany(x => x["PriceItems"])
   .Select(a => new PricesViewModel.DepartureFlightsData {
       DepartureCity = a["CityFromName"].Value<string>(),
       DepartureAirport = a["AirportFromCode"].Value<string>(),
       DepartureDate = depDate,
       DepartureTime = a["DepartureTime"].Value<string>(),
       DepartureAirline = a["AirlineCode"].Value<string>(),
       DepartureFlight = a["FlightNumber"].Value<string>(),
       DepartureFlightId = a["FlightID"].Value<string>(),
       Price = a["Price"].Value<int>(),
       Currency = a["Currency"].Value<string>()
   }).FirstOrDefault();

A: Here is a simpler alternative.
public class VarientItemsPlaceHolder
{
     public string FlightID;
     public string FlightBackID;
}

public class OuterJsonObject
{
      public List<PricesViewModel.DepartureFlightsData> PriceItems;
      public List<VarientItemsPlaceHolder> VarientItems;
      public strint Error;
}

// deserialize the whole thing first
List<OuterJsonObject> everything = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<OuterJsonObject>(File.ReadAllText(url));

// flatten the Lists of PricesViewModel.DepartureFlightsData into one master List<PricesViewModel.DepartureFlightsData>
List<PricesViewModel.DepartureFlightsData> allFlights = everything.SelectMany(x => x.PricedItems).ToList();

// filter the master list using cityfromcode, citytocode, airlinecode
List<PricesViewModel.DepartureFlightsData> filteredFlights = allFlights.Where(x => x.CityFromID == cityfromcode && x.CityToID == citytocode && x.AirlineCode == airlinecode).ToList();

Note that you do not have to break this out as much as I have. The code could be condensed by composing some of these LINQ queries, I just chose to do it step by step because it makes data processing more clear imo.
As someone else pointed out, the key is to use the SelectMany method to aggregate all of the PricedItems from each object containing that list. I personally much prefer to use static types. You're using a JArray as an intermediary, before converting to your Model type, that could be continued and you probably already have the types I've defined here in your models somewhere so don't use my class definitions, I just put them there to be clear about how it all works. The json is equivalent to my OuterJsonObject type, after I've deserialized into that I'm just LINQ query or two away from having the filtered list you want.


police and all the good they do, day in and day out.
Police confront danger so the rest of us don't have to--protecting our lives, our property and our neighborhoods.
So in honor of Police Appreciation Week, our friends at the newly-opened Dulce V frozen treat parlor--at Archer and Austin--are offering a 10 percent discount to all law enforcement officers--now through 10 p.m. Friday, May 20.
Sounds sweet to us! So if you're a Chicago Police officer or an officer in any other jurisdiction--suburban municipalities, Illinois State Police, Cook County Sheriff, etc.--stop in and enjoy some frozen yogurt, custard, gelato and more.

SNMMI Advocates for Access to Diagnostic Radiopharmaceuticals through COVID-19 and Beyond
This week SNMMI and its coalition partners sent a letter imploring Congress to take immediate action to ensure patient access to FDA-approved diagnostic radiopharmaceutical drugs that aid in the detection of cancer, cardiovascular conditions and neurological disorders. Mounting evidence shows that COVID-19 infection damages not only the respiratory system but the heart and other organ systems—and the long-term effects of this disease are still unknown. Patients who survive COVID-19 will need access to the best care available, and nuclear medicine is an essential part of that care.
COVID-19 has imposed an enormous burden on the healthcare system, and the same holds true for the field of nuclear medicine. Imaging departments and practices have seen volume decreases of as much as 70% since the pandemic began. Now, as hospitals begin to reopen for non-emergent elective procedures, they will need to struggle meet the demand to diagnose heart disease, cancer, neurological and other conditions that have gone undiagnosed and untreated over the past few months. In addition, infection control for imaging services will increase overall costs—putting further stress on available resources.
Nuclear medicine was already facing significant reimbursement challenges that hindered patient access to innovative, precision diagnostic drugs and limited the ability of new, more effective diagnostic imaging technologies to penetrate the market. Since 2008, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has been treating diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals as supplies, bundling or "packaging" the drugs with the cost of the procedure. Often the reimbursed rate for the entire bundle is lower than the cost of the innovative diagnostic radiopharmaceutical drug, which results in underpayments to hospitals.
SNMMI and its coalition partners have been working with patient groups to support the "Medicare Diagnostic Radiopharmaceutical Payment Equity Act of 2019" (H.R. 3772), which would safeguard access to the most appropriate diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals and encourage innovation and development of additional imaging drugs that will be used in the future to improve patient care. With the enhanced financial pressure on hospitals from the COVID-19 pandemic, we are concerned hospitals will be reluctant to fully support innovative nuclear medicine services because of inadequate reimbursement due to existing Medicare policy payment methodologies.
More than 20 million Americans benefit annually from nuclear medicine procedures—precision medicine that allows diagnosis and treatment to be tailored to individual patients in order to achieve the best possible outcomes. Therefore, as Congress contemplates additional support for the American healthcare system, they must also ensure that patients continue to have access to the most effective diagnostic drugs available today.

St. Albans Wins Stotesbury Cup
Photo courtesy Julien Blarel
The St. Albans' crew team's men's first varsity eight brought home the prestigious Edward T. Stotesbury Cup from their trip to Philadelphia over the weekend for the 2011 Stotesbury Cup Regatta, one of the largest and oldest high school crew events in the country.
The crew from the upper northwest school, located on the grounds of the National Cathedral, pulled off a stunning upset of two national powerhouse teams, St. Andrews (DE) and St. Joseph's Prep (PA), cruising across the finish line in four minutes, six seconds, almost a full boat length ahead of the second place team. St. Albans also placed second in the men's freshman and second eight races.
The men's final also included a boat from Bethesda-Chevy Chase high school in MD. Other local schools making finals included National Cathedral (women's freshman eight), DeMatha (men's junior four), McLean (men's lightweight eight), Woodbridge (men's lightweight eight), Gonzaga (men's second eight), TC Williams (women's first eight and women's second eight), Thomas Jefferson (women's second eight), and James Madison (men's junior eight, men's lightweight four, women's senior eight, and women's second eight).
The win for the Bulldogs was the first championship for the school, and coach Ted Haley, at the race, which has taken place annually since 1927. The win also brings the Stotesbury Cup back to the DC area for the first time since 2007, when it was won by Thomas Jefferson (VA). As an alumnus of the St. Albans rowing program, it gives me great pleasure to see the team enjoying continued success.
Coach Haley was quoted by the Washington Post as saying:
"Its just a flood of relief," he said. "We've been working real hard over the past four years. A lot of seconds, couple thirds, but we'd never had a gold. Now we have one and its amazing. . . . It's the greatest St. Albans event I've ever been a part of."

Addison H – You neglected to mention James Madison (Vienna, VA) which sent SIX boats to the semis and FOUR boats to the finals – mens jr. 8, mens light 4, womman's 1st 8, and woman's 2nd 8 (SILVER). THAT'S a story!

@Harvey I have updated thepost to reflect that fact – I saw James Madison and assumed Harrisonburg!

Addison, This is a cool web site. Thanks for the kind words about the team. I remember you well. The frosh 8 also won a medal- Silver. I believe that you were a member of the last frosh 8 to get a medal. You went on to row in some pretty good light 4′s.

The jewelry shots look pretty awesome. Nice work with shooting metal, I know it can be a pain.
It's been cool to see the studio come together and great to see the payoff – nice!
Thanks folks :) Ryan, for the sake of that quick portrait, I'm not going to bother, but I ended up needing to do exactly that in my first proper portrait session: http://neil.creek.name/blog/2008/07/28/studio-shoot-with-the-fabulous-baker-girls/.
I need to get the iron's steamer up to that backdrop!


krismulkey.com: Hey, Alice! What's cookin'?
I just saw a piece on CBS Sunday Morning about Alice Waters this past weekend. How cool that Elli gets to be a part of that!
I know! I saw the same thing. I'm so jealous. It's great to teach kids about this stuff. We'll see what they think about the flavors!
