Why iPhone App Developers Are the Wealthiest App developers
theadmin June 1, 2012 Coding No Comments
There have been many speculations as to why iphone apps developers are the richest app developers and it seems like these speculations may not go away in the near future. Therefore journalists and other scholars have decided to delve into this matter so that they can come up with the actual truth about this reality. Research reveals that iphone development has increasingly become one of the most lucrative fields in the world. Some people argue that this success can be attributed to the heavy demand for their services and products. This forces the developers to burn their midnight oil trying to establish the right innovation that will satisfy the needs of their customers. If you want to read more about the iPhone, please read iPhone Reviews here
It is also believed that the biggest motivation for iphone developers is the need to solve a given problem and make the world better than it was found. As they solve one problem, people begin to trust their products and services and there is a stiffer push to find more solutions to the prevailing problems. Someone once said that the profit for iphone apps developers is as big as there are problems to solve. For example, there is heavy traffic in the iTunes because people would like to download different apps for use.
The other possible reason why iphone apps developers are doing exceptionally well is the fact that they have minimal leadership wrangles. Are you aware that most iphone developers work individually? It is estimated that an individual iphone developer is capable of earning $10,000 on average. The other thing that makes them leaders in this industry is that they usually employ creative workers who quite often have programming graphics skills. Nonetheless, there are others who develop interest in creating very innovative apps yet they have no qualification in programming. Due to the love they have for their art, they are able to produce the best app on the market.

Q: Renaming files that have specific format like text.* I have a folder containing 1000 coordination files with this pattern: coord.* (* is timestep that is starting from 0 and increased by 10000 each time (coord.0 , coord.10000 , ...). I want to rename all of them to coordN.* (keeping the timestamp, only adding letter N). Any suggestion on how I should do that on python?

A: You can use glob for get all files with pattern coord.* in your path and rename them with os.rename.
import os
import glob

path = 'Files/'

for file in glob.glob(path+'coord.*'):
    f,s = file.split('.',1)
    file_new = f+'N.'+s
    os.rename(file, file_new)

First filenames:
coord.1.txt
coord.1.png

After renaming:
coordN.1.txt
coordN.1.png

Paving the way for Genomic Medicine
11/26/2021 11:55:00 PM | Inspire
The article is contributed/written by
Genomic Medicine is a relatively new area of expertise, providing new perspectives when it comes to tackling diseases.
Many human diseases, including cancer and heart disease, can be traced back to genetic abnormalities or mutations that can be inherited. Genomic Medicine is opening up a whole new frontier in the way clinicians can care for their patients. As explained by Dr Saumya Jamuar, Head and Senior Consultant of the SingHealth Duke-NUS Genomic Medicine Centre (SDGMC), it is an interdisciplinary medical specialty that integrates an individual's genomic information as part of the overall clinical care.
"The use of Genomic Medicine enables the tailoring of clinical care to the individual's unique genomic information, enabling care to be more precise and, to some degree, personalised, leading to improved healthcare outcomes," explained Dr Jamuar.
"Currently, Genomic Medicine is making an impact in medical specialties such as rare diseases, oncology, and pharmacogenetics (the understanding of how genetic variability influences drug treatment outcomes), enabling improved diagnostics and more precise and effective therapeutics. Beyond these specialties, there is a global effort to use genomic information to predict and prevent common complex genetic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases."
In 2019, SDGMC was launched to break down disease boundaries and investigate clinical challenges through the use of Genomic Medicine and research across all SingHealth institutions. The Centre has enabled the setup of multi-disciplinary genomic medicine clinics across the SingHealth cluster, which provide seamless care for patients with genetic disorders through standardised management guidelines.
SDGMC currently has collaborations with A*STAR and tertiary institutions such as the National University of Singapore and Nanyang Technological University. The Centre also collaborates with international research institutes such as the National Institutes of Health, Undiagnosed Disease Network International and the World Health Organisation. These partnerships and collaborative efforts are important as Genomic Medicine research takes place over the whole spectrum, from basic science to clinical, bioethics, and translational research.
Complementing traditional clinical practices
Genomic Medicine augments the conventional treatment regime with a deeper understanding of the basis of disease and how it affects individuals based on their genomic makeup. Because everyone inherits their genomic information from their parents, identifying one individual with a specific, sometimes rare, condition can enable clinicians to screen other asymptomatic family members for the same disease and proactively start intervention at an earlier stage. This potentially reduces long-term complications.
"For example, a proportion of individuals with breast cancer have a genetic predisposition to developing breast and ovarian cancer due to mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene. Understanding this genetic risk allows not only for more targeted treatment of breast cancer, but it also pre-empts other cancers such as ovarian cancer through early screening. In addition, it helps identify other at-risk family members, so that we can screen them proactively before they develop cancer," shared Dr Jamuar, who is also a Senior Consultant in KK Women's and Children's Hospital's (KKH) Genetics Service.
Reducing wait-time for identifying rare diseases
One of the important uses of Genomic Medicine is in the area of rare diseases. These are defined as conditions that affect less than one person in every 2,000 individuals. In the past, patients with rare diseases had to undergo a long and arduous diagnostic journey. This included an extensive battery of tests, some of which were invasive, and required appointments with multiple specialists.
"For such patients, it took an average of seven years for them to get a correct diagnosis. With the help of Genomic Medicine today, we are able to identify these diseases in a much shorter time. The BRIDGES (Bringing Research Innovations in Diagnosis of Genetic Diseases in Singapore) programme, which was launched by KKH in 2014, has helped significantly increase the percentage of patients receiving the correct diagnosis from under 10% to 37% and reduced the diagnostic odyssey for these patients. For one in three of patients with rare diseases, the diagnosis led to a direct change in clinical care."
"The final confirmed diagnosis finally brought us hope and the future no longer looked uncertain. We believe there are still many families out there with kids whose genetics diagnoses are still unknown and that they will be equally be able to benefit from such a research programme," shared by a parent whose child has benefitted from the BRIDGES programme.
Dr Jamuar and his team are currently working on quantifying the reduction in healthcare resources utilisation through this programme.
Meeting the needs of Genomic Medicine
Because Genomic Medicine is a relatively new field of medicine, Dr Jamuar sees two critical areas for advancement. The first need is the need to nurture a pipeline of expertise skilled in different aspects of Genomic Medicine.
"Given the complexity around genomic information, the Ministry of Health has promulgated guidelines on standards for the practice of Genomic Medicine. Currently, there is a shortage of trained professionals and we are running a quarterly workshop in SingHealth aimed at equipping healthcare professionals with the necessary skills and knowledge to support the breadth and scope of work that needs to be done. In addition, we offer in-house fellowships to enthusiastic junior doctors to provide practical training in Genomic Medicine," Dr Jamuar explained.
"The second critical area is to build up the reference genomic data from our local population. As our genomic information is unique and is specific to our ancestral and ethnic background, using reference data from external populations poses the risk of misdiagnosis and consequently, inappropriate treatment. The global genomic databases are heavily biased for Northern European populations, which comprise 78% of the data. This is a gap that Precision Health Research, Singapore (PRECISE), aims to close with plans to sequence 100,000 Singaporeans, and we plan to leverage that resource when it becomes available."
Bolstering Genomic Medicine through philanthropy
"Philanthropic funding from like-minded individuals and organisations have been integral in enabling some of the Centre's initiatives and we are very grateful for their support," says Dr Jamuar. "One of the funds, the SWIFT (Supporting Whole Exome Sequencing In Family Testing) Fund has enabled us to offer rapid genetic testing (RapidSeq) to critically ill children to optimise patient management. This life saving support is able to deliver genetic testing results in under two weeks, whereas conventional genetic testing takes 8-12 weeks."
Philanthropic funds have allowed SDGMC to pursue research activities to further understand the mechanism of disease and to identify targets that can be used to treat those individuals. SDGMC has built collaborations with researchers across Singapore and recently set up the Singapore Rare Disease Models and Mechanisms Network. The ultimate goal of the network is to identify therapeutic interventions that will benefit patients with rare diseases.
Further, philanthropic support has enabled SDGMC to augment their education workshops by offering scholarships and building a digital platform to improve accessibility to the workshops.
"We still have to a long way to go in realising the potential of Genomic Medicine. My hope is that, through the work of SDGMC, our patients will be able to receive tailored treatments targeting specific genetic variants, and that families will be able to better understand recurrent risks of diseases. This would make all the difference in the world for our patients and their families as it will give them closure and clarity where there was none before."
Genomic Medicine is one of the six MedSG200 fundraising priorities. Your philanthropic partnership enables us to continue to push the frontiers of Medicine and discover newer genetic insights that improve diagnosis and pioneer novel treatments, ultimately creating a healthier future for our next generation.

Social media has completely changed the marketing landscape, allowing brands to reach large global audiences relatively easily through pay-per-click or PPC advertising. Social media advertising means that businesses can reap the benefits of incredible digital exposure. However, with that comes higher competition, creating a competitive landscape that makes PPC and digital advertising a strategic art form. Effective digital campaigns require intelligent, tactical strategies, designed with a deep understanding of relevant digital audiences and online consumer behaviour.
A lot of brands focus solely on Facebook advertising due to its vast global audience and marketing intelligence which allows brands to target audience demographics, behaviours and interests. However, if you're looking to get your product or service in front of business professionals, then LinkedIn is a crucial market that you need to consider. No other network is better geared for B2B companies than LinkedIn. With over 400 million users, LinkedIn allows you to accurately target people in specific industries and with particular job titles, job functions, seniority levels and more. If you're offering a product or service relevant to one particular sector or looking to boost B2B sales, then LinkedIn is a goldmine of opportunity if you know how to best leverage its capabilities.
Being able to hone in specifically on your preferred professional audience is critical to the success of your brand. Never before has it been easier to target decision makers in large organisations and drive traffic from a highly engaged, relevant and professional audience. LinkedIn advertising not only allows you to increase conversions through PPC advertising but also allows you to grow your audience through social updates, company pages and more. Audiences trust brands and companies if they have a substantial LinkedIn presence and follower base of like-minded professionals. We work with many brands, building successful LinkedIn campaigns and pages that build audiences and drive sales.
Delivering effective advertisements to relevant audiences that drive conversions is not a simple task. LinkedIn advertising can be costly if it's not managed correctly. While networks such as LinkedIn provide a potential audience base, it still takes smart strategy and a deep understanding of digital behaviours to efficiently leverage sites like LinkedIn through tailored advertising that builds audiences, grows brand and creates online communities. We are experts in LinkedIn advertising and use a multi-layered approach to create tailored campaigns that are specific to the individual needs of your brand.
At OneEgg, we live and breathe digital advertising and social. We combine our PPC advertising with our in-depth knowledge of social media and a solid understanding of consumer behaviour. We will partner with you to not only design a complete LinkedIn campaign that works but, also create a model where you'll have full visibility in terms of measurable performance throughout the process. Sit back and watch your brand exposure grow as we leverage our expertise to get the most out of LinkedIn's professional network.

Queen Defects to Liberals
After the Belinda Stronach shocker, the Liberal Government got yet another boost today as Her Royal Highness, Queen Elizabeth II, announced that she too has defected to the Liberal party.
"I have always been a capital 'L' Liberal at heart," proclaimed her Majesty, immediately after her plane touched down in Regina to celebrate Saskatchewan and Alberta's centennial anniversary in confederation. "I strongly believe in Paul Martin's vision for Canada."
The Queen, who, as...Queen, has traditionally steered clear of partisan politics (a notable exception being when she ran unsuccessfully for the Welsh nationalist Plaid Cymru party in the 1983 British general election), insisted that she wasn't made any offers of a cabinet position by the Prime Minister, nor was she expecting to be named to the Martin cabinet.
"The Prime Minister made no promises," said the 79-year-old head of state. "There's a lot of talent in the Liberal cabinet, and I don't want to bump out anyone more deserving who has more seniority and experience than I do.
"I am simply following my convictions. I'm just thrilled to be part of the Liberal team."
Prime Minister Paul Martin, who flew abruptly to Saskatchewan for the Queen's stunning announcement, was visibly jubilant about his abrupt reversal of fortunes.
Exclaimed the Prime Minister: "Christ, am I on a roll or what?"
A shell-shocked Stephen Harper refused comment.

Dusit Thani Bangkok, an iconic legendary 5-star luxury hotel has close to 9 dining outlets and given a choice, I would definitely choose the Thai restaurant since I'm in Thailand. Moreover, the Thai restaurants always bring me surprises despite having tasted so many Thai foods. Benjarong is no exception.
Benjarong offers authentic Royal Thai cuisine in a contemporary flavour. Headed by Chef Morten Boejstrup Nielsen, he specialises in combining modern techniques with traditional flavour profiles to produce contemporary dishes that are distinctly Thai at heart.
You will definitely feel like a royalty in this restaurant.
This is such a beautiful view for dining. Do you agree?
While waiting for the dishes to be ready, here's a fruity mocktail.
Tom Yum Popcorn is complimentary. When you first put into your mouth, it's sweet and it slowly turns sour and spicy thereafter. Unique!
Po-Pia Goong [280฿] – The mega prawn spring roll is served with Sriracha mayo. It's sure different to the normal spring roll that we are used to.
Yum Pla Duk Foo Deconstructed [390฿] – This is a must-order! It is basically a deconstructed version of crispy catfish salad and green mango with crabmeat and tom yum custard. 3-in-1?
So, you just have to pour the green mango into the tom yum custard, mix it all together and eat it. What a burst of flavours and textures all at once. In fact, one serving is a little too little.
Since you are already eating Tom Yum which is something spicy, it is good to go along with their special Tom Yum [360฿], (deconstructed) as well.
The tom yum soup is poured right in front of you so that you can appreciate and pure smell of it. The grilled prawns also give this dish an additional grilled flavour, which is delicious.
Pla Yang Samunprai [470฿] – This grilled fish is wrapped in banana leaves filled with aromatic herbs. I felt that this dish could be better with more flavour.
Pad Thai [470฿] – Pad Thai is one of the best-sellers at Benjarong. This dish can't go wrong, especially at such a posh restaurant. At such a price point, it had to be better than good and thankfully it was.
Kang Phed Ped Ob [450฿] – Red Curry with Roasted Duck and Lychee. What a combination. In fact, the lychee makes this dish even more unique with the sweetness of the lychee. You have to eat this with Thai rice, so good!
Mango and Sticky Rice [260฿] – This is probably the most interesting mango sticky rice I have ever seen. Using nitrogen for the ice, it makes use of modern techniques but yet able to retain all the original flavours of mango sticky rice. I'm impressed. You have to try it!
Basil Ice Cream with Fresh Pineapple & Salty Meringue [210฿] – Feeling adventurous? Basil Ice Cream? In fact, this is a combination well thought of because the fresh pineapple is able to cover the strong flavour of the basil. The basil flavour is not overpowering but eating too much of the ice cream can be a little too much. Thankfully the pineapple and salty meringue is able to perform their magic.
Benjarong will be relocated when Dusit Thani Bangkok cease operations in April 2018. At the same time, pillars such as this will be preserved and brought over to their new premises in 2022.
If you are looking for real good fine Royal Thai cuisine, check out Benjarong for some surprises.

Kevin Mac Donnell
At first blush, this work by Mark Twain seems an unlikely candidate for an audio book narration. It's stagy, and the complicated heavy plotting sags under its own weight (it was salvaged out of a failed play, after all). It comprises a sort of distant sequel to Twain's first novel, The Gilded Age, itself one of Twain's weaker works of art (not all the fault of his co-author, Charles Dudley Warner). But it's also freighted with more dialogue than any other novel by Twain, and when that dialogue is brought to life by a seasoned stage actor like Richard Henzel, this otherwise forgettable tale springs to life.
Richard Henzel is probably best-known for his voice-overs as the two radio DJs in the movie "Groundhog Day" where he woke up Bill Murray over and over with "Rise and shine, campers!" But he's been performing as a Mark Twain impersonator since 1967, performing that role more than a thousand times, and he has more than one hundred television, stage, and film credits. Henzel has previously produced audio books of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, and other Mark Twain stories. The characters and situations in this novel require even more versatility than these previous audios and Henzel is perfectly matched to the task at hand.
Dialogue comprises more than 50% of the text of The American Claimant, more than any other Twain novel with the possible exception of The Gilded Age (Twain's chapters are more than 50% dialogue; Warner's are less). Twain's other novels contain far less dialogue, ranging from 28% A Connecticut Yankee) to 41% (Tom Sawyer Abroad).* So, while it's important that Henzel's narrative voice is a pleasant Twainian timbre without actually trying to be a Twain impersonation, it is his handling of the dialogue which becomes even more important as the listener prepares for more than seven hours of listening. Lucky listener. Henzel's accents for the English characters are spot on, old boy, I must say. An' by golly I do declayah that sweet Sally sounds fluttery, and swoony, and oh so-suth'run. The assortment of boarders around the table at the boarding house sound like boarders babbling at a dinner table. Colonel Mulberry Sellers sounds just as loopy as any reader might ever have imagined him, and Hawkins's voice is so distinctive and reeking with earnest cluelessness that the listener looks forward to appearances in the story by this simpering fool, no matter what he happens to be saying.
All of this combines to make this novel a better listening experience than a reading experience. The very funny moments in the text that read best blossom into hilariously funny scenes when heard aloud. These better moments are usually a result of the confused identities that are sprinkled into the plot. Colonel Sellers mistakenly thinks that Berkeley (the son of the real Earl who comes to America to renounce his father's title and live as a commoner by his wits alone) was killed in a hotel fire and has collected what he thinks are Berkeley's ashes. At one point in the story Sellers considers sending back Berkeley's ashes to his father in several parcels over a period of time--so as to break the news gently. Read this if you wish, but hearing Sellers carefully thinking out his plans on what to do with those ashes is grand. When Sellers and Hawkins decide to materialize the dead to create a work-force of zombies (I did mention the plot is complicated) the real confusions begin and almost every scene from that point on involving Sellers or Hawkins or Berkeley becomes grist for the humor mill, and all of these scenes are more fun to hear than to read.
Finally, this audio book raises an intriguing question. Twain was always trying out new inventions and contrivances, and with this novel may have become the first writer to use voice recordings to dictate a novel. Accounts vary, but Twain recorded as few as three dozen or as many as one hundred wax cylinders with his dictations, and this perhaps accounts for why there is so much dialogue. At the time Twain was dictating this work wax cylinders held about two minutes of sound (four minute cylinders did not appear until later) and an estimate that he produced one to three hours of recordings seems reasonable. Reading the text does not readily disclose which portions of this work might have been dictated, and I'm sad to report that listening to this audio book provides no clues either. This may simply reflect the fact that Twain wrote as well as he spoke (and vice versa), or it may be that he discarded his recordings and started over writing everything out without them, or perhaps a listener with a better ear for such things might make a discovery.
Twain's experiments with dictation did not begin and end with The American Claimant. He later dictated letters and portions of his autobiography, but he gave up using wax cylinders. His recordings of The American Claimant are long gone, but this lively reincarnation is surely the next best thing.
*The reviewer is indebted to Kent Rasmussen for his statistical report on the percentages of dialogue in Twain's novels. For those interested, the approximate breakdowns for the other novels are Adventures of Tom Sawyer (31%), The Prince and the Pauper (35%), Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (40%), and The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson (40%).


The Middlebury Institute community is mourning the loss of one of its longtime members, Dr. Raymond A. Zilinskas, who passed away last week after a brief illness. Zilinskas was one of the world's foremost experts on chemical and biological weapons. He directed the Chemical and Biological Weapons Program at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS) and taught courses on the subject since joining the Institute in 1998.
Working as a clinical microbiologist, Zilinskas became interested in "the area where microbiological science meets policy and ethics," as he recounted in a 2016 interview in Communiqué. He went on to earn his PhD from the University of Southern California addressing policy issues generated by recombinant DNA research, including genetic engineering techniques for military and terrorist purposes. Before moving to Monterey, he worked for various U.S. and international organizations, including twice serving as a biological weapons inspector in Iraq.
Much of what is now known about the Soviet biological weapons program from its inception in the 1920s comes from the 11 years of research Zilinskas and Milton Leitenberg conducted for their book The Soviet Biological Weapons Program: A History (Harvard University Press, 2012). Inspired by what in 2012 seemed "puzzling activities related to the biosciences" in Russia, including the closing their military biological and anti-plague institutions to the outside world, Zilinskas began researching what had become of the Soviet biological weapons program. Biosecurity in Putin's Russia, co-authored by his former student Philippe Mauger MANPTS '16, was published in February of this year (Lynne Rienner, 2018).
Ray invested countless hours into teaching and advising me, and many other students at MIIS, encouraging us to pursue alongside him his extensive research on biological and chemical arms control.
"Ray was my mentor and a dear friend," shared Mauger. "Ray invested countless hours into teaching and advising me, and many other students at MIIS, encouraging us to pursue alongside him his extensive research on biological and chemical arms control. I will remember him for his meticulous working style and dedication to his convictions, for his frankness, and as someone who always seized opportunities to help others. One anecdote that shows just how dedicated he was to his work, colleagues, and juniors: he was willing to schedule a meeting with British colleagues on Boxing Day. It was my privilege to work with Ray. I will sorely miss him."
When the show-runners for the critically acclaimed and popular FX show The Americans decided to introduce bioweapons into the storyline, they called Zilinskas, who provided technical advice for the scriptwriters working on the show's fourth season in 2016. The show, set in Cold War era Washington D.C., featured a seemingly ordinary suburban couple who are actually Soviet spies. Zilinskas enjoyed working with the team behind the show, in particular discussing plausible plot lines with the writers. He shared historical information about biological weapons programs in the Soviet Union and the U.S., as well as technical advice about how to steal different pathogens and transport them. He visited the set and met with the director and leading lady Keri Russell. He was particularly impressed with the amount of attention paid to detail, plausibility, and getting important facts right. The writers kept calling Zilinskas who happily obliged with advice on such things as how best to transport an infected mouse in order to preserve the pathogen it is carrying.

The family emigrated to the United States when Zilinskas was 12 years old but he kept his connection with Sweden, including earning his Master's degree in organic chemistry from the University of Stockholm.
Zilinskas's career as a researcher, writer, and teacher leaves a remarkable legacy of scholarship and mentorship that will live on through the work of his students and colleagues.

Gazela dorkas (Gazella dorcas) je malá, poměrně běžná gazela. Žije především v Severní Africe a místy i na Blízkém východě (Izrael, Jordánsko).

Popis
V kohoutku měří 55–65 cm, délka těla je 90–110 cm a hmotnost dosahuje 15–23 kg. Rohy měří 15 až 25 cm u samic a 25 až 38 cm u samců, přičemž rohy samců jsou výrazně tlustší, zahnutější a s výraznějšími prstenci. Zbarvení je béžové či načervenalé na bocích a horní polovině těla, břicho bývá světlé.

Ekologie a chování
Umí přežít v suchém prostředí pouští a polopouští s minimálními nároky na vodu, pokud je potřeba, obejde se bez vody úplně a tekutiny získává z rostlinné stravy. Vyskytuje se rovněž na savanách. Žije v párech nebo malých stádech, tvořených jedním dominantním samcem, samicemi a jejich mláďaty. Výjimečně mohou stáda čítat až 100 jedinců.

Živí se listy akácií a různých křovin, když má možnost, spásá trávu a jiné rostliny.

Jejími predátory jsou jakékoliv střední a větší šelmy od šakalů, karakalů a vlků, přes psy hyenovité, hyeny, až po gepardy, levharty a lvy. Mohou se stát i kořistí krajt a orlů. Zdravá gazela je většinou schopna útočníkům uniknout, neboť dosahuje rychlosti až 80 km/h a umí výborně kličkovat.

Rozmnožování
Doba březosti se pohybuje od 164 do 180 dnů. Samice rodí jedno nebo výjimečně dvě mláďata. Ta jsou kojena do 2 až 3 měsíců. Pohlavní zralosti dosahují v 9 (samci) až 18 měsících (samice). Doba dožití v divočině se pohybuje okolo 10 let, maximálně pak 12,5 roku.

Populace, hrozby
Celková populace je odhadována na několik desítek tisíc jedinců, přičemž nejvíc jich žije v Čadu, Nigeru a zemích afrického rohu, populační trend je pokles. Hlavní hrozbou pro gazelu dorkas je člověk a jeho aktivity, především nadměrný lov a extenzivní chov domácích zvířat, která jsou schopna spást lokálně veškerou vegetaci.

Zajímavost
Vyhynulá gazela dlouhorohá byla dříve považovaná za poddruh gazely dorkas, ale genetické zkoumání zjistilo, že jde o rozdílné druhy.

The teams received a set of 3 subjects that need an innovative solution. Each team had to develop a hardware or software project that fits one of the given themes: Forge4Fun, Tech4Teaching, Sim4Safety.
Codespring sponsored the event in order to foster creative solutions and to challenge students to get involved in more real-life related projects.
Codespring also had a representative in the jury team – our CTO, dr. Barabás László who is also actively involved in the Codespring Mentoring program and all academia cooperation related initiatives.
Our colleague Mátis Szilard – Software Developer at Codespring by Softech presented the session "Sensor monitoring using InfluxDB and Grafana" topic, an IoT related topic about how can we use the Influx database and the Grafana dashboard platform to monitor sensor information in real time.
"The Kolozsvári Műszakis Klub is a young team which organized the second edition of the HacKMK . They seemed good at it. With a friendly attitude, they managed to create a cool event even if they are still students! Well done!" – declared Mátis Szilard, software developer at Codespring.
Thank you everyone for the involvement in the event and watch our news feed for more cool events and programs!


The clothing retailer's stock jumped 8% as profits for the fiscal third-quarter beat the Street's expectations. The company said increased margins and higher same-store sales boosted results. Still, the company's forecast came in slightly below analysts' numbers.
The biotech company's shares jumped 10%, reaching a 52-week intraday high, on news of its $1.3 billion licensing deal with Swiss giant Novartis (NVS). The deal will allow Incyte and Novartis to jointly develop two of the former's hematology drug candidates.
The communications equipment maker's stock was up 4% after Citigroup analyst Kevin Dennean initiated coverage on the company with a Buy rating and a $9.50 price target. Dennean noted that the company's higher-margin test and measurement segment now accounts for half of all sales, and the division should see continued growth.

It really isn't even that slow though. I assume because it was early in the morning and the train was empty that the ride valleyed.
I was told by the ops that it was weather related. Went from mid-70 degrees on friday to the 30's on saturday morning, just didnt have the oomph to get into the brakes. Props to them however, they got the train transferred off and opened the ride at about 7pm yesterday, and both trains are running today!

Well that's not ****ing good
Oh no! That's not good at all! Was the transfer stuck or something, or is this a worker videotaping it while it's closed? No matter what it is I sure hope it's fixed by the week after Memorial Day!
Reactions: Matt N and Lofty
That's the second time I've seen maintenance do that to the track. They start to move the transfer table and it grinds to a halt cause it rubs on the other rail. I just find it hilarious that their best option is to break out the biggest saw they have and literally cut off the problematic part of the rail
Maybe the ride was assembled in cold weather, and thermal expansion set in when spring/summer arrived? Not sure if a coaster is big enough to be significantly affected, but apparently it's a real concern for railroad tracks.

If that was true however, it's difficult to see how RMC's built in far colder winter climates have not seen same same problems.

Screamscape reported today one train operation over the weekend, as possible precaution related to SV's bump. However, at the same time, multi-train operation has been reported from Cedar Point. So... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2011 HHoF: The Case for Pavel Bure
On Monday, November 8th, the Hockey Hall of Fame inducted five new members. The committee ended up selecting only one NHL player, Dino Ciccarelli, who scored over 600 goals in his career, but never won a Stanley Cup or an individual award. In addition to Ciccarelli, the committee inducted long-time Detroit executive Jim Devellano and Daryl 'Doc' Seaman, the latter playing an integral part in moving the Flames from Atlanta to Calgary. The Hall also inducted its first female members, finally selecting Cammi Granato and Angela James, which was long overdue.
I am not a fan of Ciccarelli's induction to the Hall of Fame. Sure, he scored a ton of goals, but most occurred during the 1980s when goaltenders seemingly forgot how to play their position. By 1980 the 50 goal plateau had only been reached 24 times, yet during the 1980s it was reached an astonishing 76 times. The feat was even met by nobodies like Jacques Richard, who exploded for 52 goals in 1980-1981, while never breaking 30 goals or 50 points at any other point in his career. The 80s was full of these guys! Goals were free and Dino cashed in.
Ciccarelli is a good player (you can't score over 600 goals and 1200 points and be bad), but he isn't Hall of Fame great. He only led his team in scoring in three seasons. He never won a major award and he never even made the NHL First or Second All-Star team. Furthermore, he never won a Stanley Cup, although he did make the Final twice (with Minnesota in 1981 and Detroit in 1995). I don't consider this a major failing considering a player could be stuck with bad teams most of his career, but I reserve that clause for the best players of their era – Dino does not fit this distinction.
Over the next few posts I'm going to outline who I believe should make the Hall of Fame in 2011. I already presented the case for Eric Lindros this summer, which, as expected, drew considerable opposition. The following candidate might draw some of the same criticisms that Lindros did, but he wasn't generally regarded as a dick, so the discussion should at least be civil.
Pavel Bure, known as the Russian Rocket for his blazing speed, is the first in a three-part series of posts (since we'll count the Lindros post) examining which players the Hockey Hall of Fame needs to assemble for their 2011 induction class.
In Bure's rookie year he captured the Calder Trophy, beating out Niklas Lidstrom, which was a harbinger for things to come. He scored 34 goals and added 26 assists in 60 games that season, before adding another 6 goals and 4 assists in 13 playoff games (the only playoffs he ever scored less than a point-per-game).
He's one of only 19 players to ever score 60 goals in a season, which he did in back-to-back seasons, becoming only the 8th player at the time to do so. What's more impressive is that only six other players scored 60 goals or more in the 1990s (Brett Hull, Alexander Mogilny, Teemu Selanne, Mario Lemieux, Luc Robitaille, Jaromir Jagr).
Bure's 59 goals in 2000-2001 was the third most goals scored during the Dead Puck Era (as defined between the Devils' 1995 Stanley Cup and the 2004-2005 lockout), trailing only Mario Lemieux's 69 goals and Jaromir Jagr's 62 goals in 1995-1996. This was an era where the league's leading goal scorer sometimes did not even break 50 goals and yet Bure pushed 60 on multiple occasions. His 58 goals in 1999-2000 were a whopping 14 more than the league's second leading scorer (Owen Nolan with 44).
In case you need more proof of Bure's goal scoring prowess you need look no further than the NHL's goals-per-game list. Bure ranks sixth all-time with 0.623 GPG. The only player with a higher average not in the Hall of Fame is Alex Ovechkin. If you only look at the league's 100 highest goal scorers, Bure's GPG ranks third all-time, behind only Mike Bossy and Mario Lemieux.
If you think Bure was a one-dimensional player you might find it interesting to know he spent a considerable amount of time killing penalties. He was an absolute terror on the penalty kill. He holds the Vancouver Canucks team record for the most short-handed goals with 24. His 34 career short-handed goals are tied for 11th all-time.
Bure was one of the best players in the league during his career, as evidenced by his NHL First All-Star team selection in 1994 and NHL Second All-Star team selections in 2000 and 2001. Not only was he one of the best, but he was one of the most exciting. People paid to see Pavel Bure play. The same can't be said for other Hall of Fame hopefuls like Adam Oates.
Considering the preceding paragraphs why would there be any controversy about Bure's Hall of Fame selection? Injuries. He only played 702 games and had to retire when he was only 34 due to serious knee problems – although he played his last game when he was only 31. Bure only managed to play in three full seasons out of his 12 year career, and only topped 70 games another two times.
Bure is only 39-years-old now. It isn't inconceivable to think he could still be playing. As hockey fans, we have to endure watching Bill Guerin trot his plodding carcass out on the ice well into his 40s, but are denied the joys of watching Pavel Bure fly down the ice well before he's 35. Although it's possible that Bure's shortened career maintains my memory of him. Since I didn't have to watch him age and see his skills erode by the cruel forces of time, my memory isn't of a fading superstar holding on for one too many seasons – I remember him as this.
It's true he never won a Stanley Cup, but he did lead the Canucks to the Final in 1994 as a 23-year-old, scoring 16 goals and adding 15 assists in 31 games. Furthermore, his career playoff stats are pretty good. He's scored 70 points in 64 career playoff games. However, after making the Stanley Cup Final with the Canucks in 1994, Bure only played in the post-season two other times, losing in the second round in 1995 with the Canucks and being swept in 2000 with the Panthers (the last time Florida actually made the playoffs).
Bure had transcendental skill and was able to bring fans out of their seats every time he rushed the puck up ice. His career is nothing like Dino Ciccarelli's, who was good for a long period of time, but never dominant like Bure was. Ultimately, Bure's career totals don't add up to many current Hall of Famers because injuries cut his career short. Bure didn't score 500 goals and he didn't score 1000 points, but he was one of the best and most exciting players during an era where pure goal scorers were rare and excitement was fleeting. Plus, check out his hockey card below!

Do you want to know how to write your best article? I am glad you ask. Because, when most writers learn their articles must meet SEO guidelines, they tend to balk. And they usually respond with something like – SEO is for websites. So, why do you want me to use SEO guidelines for an article. Well, in a word. Google.
First of all, writing for a digital publication is much different from writing for a print publication. Second, is that Google reads your website. Moreover, it wants to make sure it will be interesting for their users. Obviously, this is important to you. Since you want to have your article found among the billions of other articles, you want Google to like it. Accordingly, when Google likes it, they index it. Where it falls in their index depends on how well you wrote it. And, that is the basis for Google's algorithms.
Google's algorithms test your website or article to make sure it meets two basic rules.
Within those two rules, Google bots also makes sure your website and your writing is mobile friendly.
of your story. Yet, for you it is a planning mechanism. As a result, it helps you to build a well structured article. Most importantly, it teaches you how to write your best article. So, do the math with my 5W+H formula. You will write better!
Your article structure includes your headings and subheadings and logically placed. As well, Google wants to see that your website or your article meets their structural analysis. Yet, these structural tests are different for websites than they are for your writing. So, we deal with the structural aspects of writing here.
First of all, carefully thinking about the way you want your article to flow will help you define your structure. Second, this will help you give a structure that your readers will want to follow. Think of it like creating an itinerary for taking a river cruise. There are certain points of interest you want to see in between point A and point Z. So, you want to chart attractions you want to see along the way. You would not want to see them out-of-order. You do not want to go to C then back to B then E and back to D and so forth. because you would simply go back and forth in confusion. Likewise, your readers do not want confusion either. As a result, they do not want to go up and down your page to find the logical order to your article.
Moreover, using the correct headings and subheadings, in the correct order, makes for a readable article. And this makes your writing flow smoothly. Hence you guide your reader through your story like taking them on a journey. And, it helps you write an exciting and informed article. Especially, an article that readers like and will tell others about. That is what Google looks for. So how to write your best article is about writing to make your reader happy. And that makes Google happy!
Basically, transition words help you in planning the itinerary for your reader. Just as on your river cruise, when you finish visiting one destination, your host prepares you for the next stop in the journey, In writing your article, you make this happen through transition words. Transition words help guide the reader from one idea to the next, or from one paragraph to the next.
A great resource to keep at your fingertips for writing is an article by Marieke van de Rakt's in the Yoast SEO blog called "Practical Tips To Set Up A Clear Text Structure".
Included in her article is a table to keep handy as a reference. Table 2: examples of transition words.
Since your writing must have a logical and readable structure, you must use transition words. Most importantly, transition words help your reader connect the dots so to speak. They help your reader connect sentences and paragraphs. Therefore, you should use plenty of transition words.
First, structural elements of SEO deal with how smoothly your writing flows. Second, readability measures whether what you said makes sense. While your cruise boat may be heading in the correct direction, it would not be any fun if it were also spinning around in circles. Readability deals with how well you steer the ship as it goes from point to point.
Moreover, text that does not make sense will turn your reader off. And, just like your cruise, spinning the ship around between stops will make people get off the first chance they get. Most likely, they will not return. So for a business, that means you just lost a customer. And because people do talk to each other, probably more than one.
Some have suggested reading your text out loud. I do this. If you are trying to read your text aloud. and you keep stumbling over your words, it is a good sign that something needs to be smoothed out.
In the Yoast SEO blog, Marieke van de Rakt mentions this question from Google in her article "Does Readability Rank"?
Keyword stuffing causes that spinning motion. Now, Google's Hummingbird update forces the captain of the ship to keep the ship heading straight from point to the point. And as the author, you are the captain of the ship! So you are responsible for smooth sailing. Or, smooth reading. So, does readability rank? Absolutely!

Writing for a digital publication is different from writing for a print magazine. The reason is that digital writing is for online consumption. Just as libraries have a system for making sure everything is found in a logical way, so must search engines. Both need a structure that helps with readability. If you cannot find it, you cannot read it.

Sunday 27 November 2022 06:14 PM Elderly Arizona couple get married in grocery store where they first met trends now
world news (dailymail) Sunday 27th November 2022 06:14 PM
An elderly couple in Arizona got married last month in the grocery store where they first met after bonding over condiments during the COVID-19 pandemic.
On November 19, Brenda Williams, 72, and Dennis Delgado, 78, tied the knot in aisle eight of the Fry's Food and Drug Store in Cada Grande, where they had initially met in August 2021.
At the time, Brenda was searching for Miracle Whip - a mayonnaise manufactured by Heinz - when Dennis suddenly started talking to her.
'We both had masks on, and I say to her ''you know the best thing about wearing a mask?''' Dennis told Fox 13. '''You could pass these [people] not wearing a mask, and curse them out under your breath, they don't hear a word you're saying,'' and she started laughing.''
The interaction lasted half-an-hour, with both individuals exchanging phone numbers after realizing they had been blocking the aisle for quite some time.

Q: how to work out a very confusing integral i am learning fourier series and i am stuck on an integral.
So i am looking for $$a_n={1\over\pi}\int_0^{2\pi} f(x)\cos(nx)\ dx ={1\over\pi}\int_0^{2\pi} \frac{( \pi-x)^2}{4}\cos(nx)\ dx$$
$$={1\over4\pi}\int_0^{2\pi} ( \pi-x)^2\cos(nx)\ dx$$
I know that the answer is $ \frac{1}{n^2}$ but would really like someone to show me and explain a simple way of working this out as i am going to have exam questions like this and so assuming there must be a simple way of working this out..
Many thanks

A: We have an integral of a product of a polynomial and a sine/cosine. That is something we can fruitfully apply integration by parts to, the trigonometric functions switch between sine and cosine, and differentiating reduces the degree of the polynomial, until after finitely many steps, we reach a constant and are left with a pure integral over a sine or cosine. Let's ignore the constant factor, and just integrate:
$$\begin{align}
\int_0^{2\pi} (x-\pi)^2\cos (nx)\,dx &= \left[(x-\pi)^2\frac{\sin (nx)}{n} \right]_0^{2\pi} - \frac2n \int_0^{2\pi} (x-\pi)\sin (nx)\,dx\\
&= \frac2n \int_0^{2\pi} (x-\pi)(-\sin (nx))\,dx\\
&= 2\left[(x-\pi)\frac{\cos (nx)}{n^2}\right]_0^{2\pi} - \frac{2}{n^2}\int_0^{2\pi} \cos (nx)\,dx\\
&= 2\left[\pi\frac{\cos (2n\pi)}{n^2} - (-\pi)\frac{\cos 0}{n^2}\right]
- \frac{2}{n^2}\int_0^{2\pi} \cos (nx)\,dx\\
&= \frac{4\pi}{n^2} - \frac{2}{n^2}\int_0^{2\pi}\cos (nx)\,dx\\
&= \frac{4\pi}{n^2} - \left[\frac{2}{n^3}\sin (nx)\right]_0^{2\pi}\\
&= \frac{4\pi}{n^2}.
\end{align}$$

A: You can observe that
$$
\int x\cos x\,dx=x\sin x-\int \sin x\,dx=x\sin x+\cos x
$$
(integrating by parts).
Similarly
\begin{align}
\int x^2\cos x\,dx &= x^2\sin x-\int 2x\sin x\,dx\\
&=x^2\sin x+2x\cos x-2\int\cos x\,dx\\
&=x^2\sin x+2x\cos x-2\sin x
\end{align}
Now
$$
\int(\pi-x^2)\cos(nx)\,dx=
\pi^2\int\cos(nx)\,dx-2\pi\int x\cos(nx)\,dx+\int x^2\cos(nx)\,dx
$$
and the integrals are computable with the simple substitution $t=nx$.

Share an Out of Gravity Experience with Your Kids.
This summer the Science Museum of Minnesota is showcasing an awesome and most enlightening exhibition about space travel, space living and space in relationship to our future. It's a WOW! in Earth terms.
A gigantic spaceman beckons earthlings to Space: An Out of Gravity Experience at the Science Museum of Minnesota in St. Paul.
The Minnesota Science Museum has always been on my list of must see museums but until last week I had never stepped inside. Six hours later with two snack breaks, much needed to quell mind overload, I know one visit is not enough. The place is amazing at every turn.
Space: An Out-of-Gravity Experience is one reason to make plans to be in St. Paul with your kids. It is an eye opener. A gargantuan spaceman guards the entrance hall of the Museum beckoning earthlings to get in line to see really cool stuff about the future of travel in space. The presence of the three-story giant is exciting no matter what your age and from the third floor landing it's possible to see your own surreal reflection in the spaceman's mask.
Science Museum of Minnesota space station playhouse for miniature astronauts attracts kids of all ages to engage in imaginative travel with a mission.
Space poses the question, what does the future hold for earthlings and space travel? It does not cover historic moments or status quo thinking but instead focuses on possibilities. I was enthralled at every turn. The experience begins with a well-scripted cinematic introduction which describes in easy to understand terms the huge challenges facing future explorers and shows how preparations are being made to solve the situations.
Every means of engaging visitors is used to convey concepts which are still on the edges of comprehension for most of us. Interactive stations simulate robotic tasks and consoles allow users to engage in mission planning simulating tasks essential to survival in outer space. Stacking blocks is not as easy as it seems when the task must be completed using a robotic arm. It's possible to board a life-sized rotating space pod simulating the International Space Station, slightly dizzying but intriguing.
If you are anywhere near St. Paul Minnesota, this is the summer to have an out of gravity experience with your kids and while you are there sample the gelato for an out of this world taste treat.

Taking on the Top Ediscovery Challenges for In-house Legal Teams
October 6, 2022 by Zapproved - Legal Operations
The world of in-house legal teams has shifted dramatically in just the last two years. Profound changes to the meaning of work and the way we conduct business, a greater awareness of important social issues, the explosion of digital capability, and a global health crisis have made evolution a constant and a necessity.
This evolution has also wrought a host of new challenges for Legal. The ever-changing legal landscape challenges every organization in unique ways, but while no legal department's transformation journey is exactly the same, there are some common trends:
Increasing amounts of data: The volume of data that existed in 2020 will have quadrupled by 2025. Access to data is critical for measuring success and making better decisions, but such vast quantities can be difficult to parse for genuine insights. Legal teams also often struggle to isolate the right KPIs in this sea of information.
More data sources: Legal is also challenged by the proliferation of data sources, which can make defensible ediscovery even more complex. While email is still the primary source of electronically stored information (ESI), the widespread use of collaboration and messaging tools can lead to major expenditures of time and resources during discovery.
Cyber threats: Legal teams are always attuned to potential risks, and few are as serious as increasing cyber attacks. The number of ransomware and supply chain attacks rose sharply in the last two years, while distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks will total 15.4 million by 2023. And vulnerabilities are more costly than ever—a recent IBM study estimates that in the United States, a data breach costs on average $4.24M per incident.
Data privacy: Regulations like California's CPRA and CCPA or the EU's GDPR underscore the growing importance of data privacy. These regulations are also continually evolving in ways that will impact ediscovery teams. For example, provisions in the CPRA create new rules for data retention and minimization, and compliance will fall on Legal's shoulders.
Corporate investigations: A confluence of social and economic changes in the wake of the pandemic have accelerated an ongoing trend of increased investigation. And legal teams are under greater scrutiny than ever before to conduct these investigations with full transparency.
Budget Pressure: While demand on legal teams continues to rise, many companies are cutting budgets. This places even more pressure on teams to create efficiencies designed to control cost, decrease spending on outside counsel where possible, and manage risks effectively.
2 Ways to Tackle Ediscovery Challenges
It's clear that the context and complexity in which corporate legal teams function is changing rapidly and constantly. The pressure to control costs, mitigate risk, embrace digital transformation, and do more with less demands a fundamental shift in the way in-house legal teams operate. Teams that meet these challenges head on share two common approaches to their own transformations.
1. Embrace a legal ops approach
A 2021 study conducted by the Thomson Reuters Institute found that greater oversight was the top priority for corporate legal teams. This is no surprise, given the litany of challenges we've already discussed, but many in-house teams have discovered they lack the core competencies to better control processes. That's why as many as 81% of last year's hires in Legal were in legal operations (legal ops).
Even if your company is not adding headcount with a dedicated legal ops team, it's beneficial to take on a legal ops approach to the way your team functions. A legal ops approach allows you to take on the biggest challenges facing in-house legal through:
FInancial and project management to control costs and optimize process
Management of regulatory compliance in areas like privacy and cybersecurity
Technology investment and adoption
Opportunities to automate manual tasks
Clear risk-management objectives
2. Empower your ediscovery team with the right tools
Ediscovery once primarily supported litigation, but as the scope of corporate legal grows, the role of your ediscovery team should also expand. Ediscovery is now used in areas like information governance, document retention and defensible deletion, data-privacy compliance, regulatory responses, and corporate investigations.
To get the most out of ediscovery, it's important that you empower your team with the right tools to succeed. A recent Deloitte survey of legal ops professionals found that 76% were currently in need of new, streamlined technology to better execute against strategic goals. Ediscovery software not only gives your team more control, it also supports the primary value propositions of legal ops:
Creating cross-functional alignment: Even though they are increasingly partnering with outside business units like HR, Finance, and (especially) IT, legal departments are often siloed in their day-to-day operations. Ediscovery software, in concert with organization-wide information governance standards, helps to bridge this divide by creating a central system of record and reporting across teams. It can also help to automate tasks for other departments.
Producing better metrics and analytics: When processes fail or costs balloon, it's often because your teams don't have the metrics they need to track performance or the true data insight necessary to make the best decisions. In fact, 74% of respondents to the Deloitte survey reported that they didn't have clear or accurate metrics on the work they performed. A robust ediscovery platform can help your legal team isolate, track, and report against the most business-critical metrics.
Better technology utilization: There is more technology than ever across the enterprise, but your legal team still spends so much time on rote, manual tasks. That means you aren't getting the most out of your technology investment. The best ediscovery platforms are easy to learn and easy to use, driving greater rates of adoptions. They also focus on automation, which frees up your talent to focus on more meaningful work. Ediscovery tools can also scale quickly when spikes in litigation occur.
Optimizing resources: Corporate legal teams dealing with tightened budgets can use ediscovery technology to internalize and automate expensive data processing and review tasks. Subscription-based ediscovery solutions also make these costs more stable and predictable.
The pace of change and transformation for in-house legal teams will only increase. To meet these challenges, your team has to evolve so they continue to manage and minimize new risks and control costs as budgets tighten. Legal ops and ediscovery teams bring clear value and help you tackle these challenges if they are supported by the right tools and resources. Ediscovery software can be a smart way to do more with less, better integrate with other departments, and achieve your strategic goals—now and in the future.

Since LogicInvoice is a super script in this industry, I've not found any serious problem while operating it!
However, while the Mail function depends on the server it lies on, the best choice is SMTP.
I've setup Google SMTP with port 465 but seems like there's no option to choose it to use SSL or TLS so it doesn't work. Whenever I create new invoice, it stopped at a blank page and no email sent out.
