Q: What is/are the canonical notation(s) for multi-particle states? What are they mathematically? I'm trying to refresh things I learned ages ago, and I believe I either never learned the proper mathematical background for multi-particle states or I forgot the details. I intuitively write things like $\newcommand{\ket}[1]{\left|#1\right\rangle}\ket{\uparrow\downarrow}$ and $\ket{n_1,n_2}$ and remember the latter being related to multi-mode Fock states, but sometimes also tensor products $\ket 1\otimes\ket 4$ and maybe even (vectors of Hilbert) vectors $\left(\ket a\atop \ket b\right)$ (or $\ket{\left(a\atop b\right)}$?). But are all those different but equivalent notations for the same mathematical concepts and merely a matter of taste/convenience/legibility, or are there severe differences and something like $\left(\ket{a,2}\atop \ket b \otimes \ket {42}\right)$ actually has a sensible meaning?
While I should sooner or later (re)learn the details including representation theory in (or "of"?) Hilbert spaces etc, for now I'd appreciate pointers into the proper directions.

A: The first two are different notations for the same ket :
$$|\uparrow\downarrow\rangle = |\uparrow \rangle \otimes |\downarrow\rangle \qquad \text{ and }|n_1,n_2\rangle = |n_1\rangle \otimes |n_2\rangle$$
I am not too sure about the last one (the vectors of ket). Mathematically, it would correspond to an element of the direct sum of the two Hilbert spaces, rather than the tensor product. If this is indeed what you mean by $\begin{pmatrix}|a\rangle \\ |b\rangle \end{pmatrix}$, this is not a multi-particle state.

David Warner wants the ICC to clarify its stance on switch-hitting after the umpires in Tuesday night's Twenty20 against West Indies told him he couldn't face up right-handed. The left-handed Warner tried to get in position for a switch-hit against Narsingh Deonarine but the bowler backed out and Warner exchanged words with the umpires Bruce Oxenford and Rod Tucker after the incident.
"It was a funny one - Ox said to me, 'You can't do it because they have to chop and change the field all the time'," Warner told the Sydney Morning Herald. "I told him, 'Well it's not hard and I'll tell them when I'm going to bat right-handed or left-handed so they can change the field'. Whatever. I have to wait for the bowler to change from over the wicket to around the wicket so what's the difference? The umpires told me I have to notify the bowler so I turned around and said, 'OK, I'm going to bat right-handed.'
"Tuck looked at me and goes, 'Nuh'. I let it go. But then I went to the square-leg umpire in the next over and I said, 'Why can't I do it?' He basically said it's too much time and it's not in the spirit of the game. I still went to bat right-handed - but he shook his head again."
A Cricket Australia spokesman said their understanding was that Warner's tactic was not against the rules of cricket and might be an issue the ICC could decide on once and for all. When Kevin Pietersen showed off his left-handed switch-hit in 2008 it was ruled by the MCC, the guardians of the game's laws, that the stroke would not be made illegal.
Warner said he batted right-handed as a child and during most net sessions he bats right-handed for the last five minutes. He does not want to abandon the switch-hit, which he believes gives him the advantage of being able to hit with the turn regardless of whether an offspinner or a legspinner is operating.
"Last year at The Oval, we had a practice out in the middle and Haury [Nathan Hauritz] was bowling," Warner said. "They were turning square and I got sick of it. I couldn't hit a ball, so I batted right-handed and I started putting him into the stands. That's when Tim Nielsen said to me, 'What's going on here?' So I thought I might as well bring it out in a game. If a spinner is working to a plan to me, why can't I try to counteract it?"

National plan unveiled to end need for foodbanks in Scotland
This news post is over 1 year old
by Gareth Jones
Community approach key to ending reliance on foodbanks, government told
24 January 2022 by Niall Christie
The proposals are being supported by the Trussell Trust and Independent Food Aid Network
Proposals to end the need for foodbanks as a primary response to food insecurity have been published.
Views are being sought on the Scottish Government's draft national plan, which is supported by foodbank operators, including the Trussell Trust and Independent Food Aid Network.
The plan follows action during the pandemic to prevent food insecurity through strengthening household incomes and the delivery of cash-first responses to financial hardship.
Social justice secretary Shona Robison said: "We share the same vision as foodbank operators – they are not a long term solution to poverty. Our draft plan sets out what we will do within our powers – including introducing a shopping voucher pilot scheme - to make foodbanks the last port of call.
"Over the last year we have invested around £2.5 billion to support low income households, including nearly £1 billion to directly support children.
"Despite our fixed budget and limited powers we are taking action to support those in poverty, including discussions around establishing a minimum income guarantee for Scotland.
"As part of the right to an adequate standard of living, people need to be able to access food that meets their dietary, social and cultural needs and this plan shows the way forward."
Sabine Goodwin, co-ordinator of the Independent Food Aid Network, which represents more than 500 foodbanks across the UK, said: "As the cut to Universal Credit and cost of living increases exacerbate poverty in Scotland, the publication of the draft national plan to end the need for foodbanks couldn't be more timely.
"With a cash first, collaborative approach to food insecurity as the cornerstone of this plan, a time when foodbanks will no longer be needed to plug the gaps left by financial hardship is within sight."
The consultation can be viewed online, with responses being taken into the new year.

Q: How does animate() in jquery affect the page flow and the overflow property? Hey guys so I just finished reading my first xhtml/css book and am now in the middle of a javascript/html one. I want to make a very simple effect but can't figure it out because I'm unfamiliar with jquery (and javascript for that matter).
So I would like an effect just like this: kk.pcriot.com/websites.html
Where an image moves around but there is a sort of "mask" around it's border so its holder is fixed into place but the image moves (on mouse over). The image should snap back into its original place once the mouse cursor is not hovering over it but that seems simple enough. Right now I'm just trying to figure out how to create that mask.... It's simple enough with a static image and the overflow:hidden property but I think animate() takes the element out of the flow or something because I can't get overflow to work. Maybe it has something to do with the position property as well.
Here is my code:
CSS:
div { width : 100px; height: 100px;
  border: thin solid red;
  overflow:hidden;
  }

img { position:absolute;
height: 200px;
width: 300px;

;}
Script:
    <script src="jquery-1.7.2.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){

$("#clickme").click(function() {
   $("#book").animate({

    left: '+=150',

  }
 });

body:
<div id="clickme">
  Click here
</div>
<image id="book" src="../Images/test.jpg"  (Newbs cant post images so I didnt use IMG)
   />

So... it does animate but the overflow property does not work. And when I take out the script the overflow property does work but obviously the animation doesn't!

A: overflow: hidden

does only work in your case, when the parent has a position of absolute too. Also pay attention to @Sparky672's comment. The image must be inside the div.
I've set up a demo for you:
http://jsfiddle.net/Q4zXd/

A: Updated the jsfiddle to move the image on hover and to clean up the CSS. http://jsfiddle.net/Q4zXd/3/
You need the image to be in a container if you want it to be bigger than the container and for a portion of it to be hidden and then move into view when you hover over the area.
The reason you need to position the container as relative is to make the interior element (img) that is positioned absolute position itself relative to the containing element, not the window.  By default, an element that is positioned absolutely is taken out of the document flow and positioned relative to the window, not the containing element, unless the containing element is positioned relatively (absolute also works, but then that element is no longer in the document flow.)


Change happens. It can be good, it can be bad, but it cannot be ignored if you are to succeed in sales. So you had better arm yourself with a system that recognizes change, accounts for it, and keeps you on the right path.
Subjective probability assessment has never worked well. Estimates made by salespeople are massaged by sales managers to reflect their perspective and then by management to include their opinions.


Sometimes we just need to take time to do a "reality check" in our homes. We have to remind ourselves, "What does the LORD require of me?" Perfection, in this season of life, in our houses, in our homeschools, and in ourselves, is not going to occur!
Some homeschooling moms have this idealistic vision of a Proverbs 31 homeschooling mother who rises while it is yet early and prepares a large, nutritious hot breakfast for her family, (complete with homemade bread, she never buys "store-bought!") then has time to devote an hour to the Lord in prayer and Bible Study (whoops! Make that two hours, an hour for each!) and then has the house all sparkling clean by 8:00 to start homeschool!
Her energy level and sunshiny disposition remains steadfast all day, never letting up for even a second. She runs an "one-room-schoolhouse" atmosphere in her kitchen or family room. She lectures brilliantly, reads entire books in one sitting just for fun, all HER children know all their multiplication tables by the second grade. She teaches them all to copy her flawlessly beautiful old-fashioned penmanship. Her children are enthusiastic learners all the time and never are reluctant to have school, but actually beg for more on the weekends! They are all well advanced in all subjects. They are also finished by noon so that she can devote the rest of her day to other meaningful, important activities.
Lunch is gourmet, and so is dinner. The kitchen literally sparkles, the sink and floor areas in particular. She makes everything from scratch, even her own soap. Yet, she does it all in her "spare" time, so as to not take precious moments away from the time she could be spending with her husband and children.
She is always available to answer the phone and the door, to encourage others and just provide entertaining chitchat to the lonely. She is never more than a load of laundry behind...and all of her family's socks match. She has a policy of mending clothes the second they are brought to her�this is simple, she always has matching thread and materials because she makes all of their clothing, too!
But who is the Proverbs 31 homeschooling mother? One who loves the Lord with all her heart and does her work as unto the Lord...serves her family as she would serve the Lord. She's not perfect, but she has a steadfast love for her family and it shows. She takes time to examine priorities and prayerfully consider what just HAS to be done, so that she can eliminate the unnecessary. She takes time to rest herself and provide for her own needs, too. She understands that this helps her be a better mom and wife and servant of the Lord!
She doesn't carry around a large burden, which the Lord never intended...a burden of �perfection,� as she perceives it. Instead, she lets the Lord carry that burden, and she joyfully yields herself to His Holy Spirit to be lead, used and encouraged in her daily walk with Him. While she admires other godly Christian women, she doesn't constantly compare herself with them. She knows that God has created her uniquely and that there is no one on the face of the earth that will be just like her, nor have her unique gifts and ministry.
When she wakes up in the morning, her first thought is not, "What must I do to be a Proverbs 31 wife and mother and woman today?", but instead she lifts praises up to the Lord, "For this is the day that the Lord has made, and I will be glad and rejoice in it!" She lets the love and joy of the Lord flow through her...those "Living Waters!" It just naturally reaches out to embrace her family and others that she has contact with throughout the day.
Let us all yield ourselves to His Holy Spirit today and allow the Lord to work through us and in us!

A very young man in the combat infantry in World War II, Jay Wenk traveled and fought his way across Germany to Czechoslovakia, and then endured Occupation duty in Germany. His experiences away from combat are as crucial to his life and the lives of others as the actual fighting.
As a green inductee in basic training, he was profoundly moved by the living conditions he encounters among poor Blacks living near the camp in South Carolina. His sense of humor and his feeling for people, some of them German, but not Nazi, is unusual and enlightens all.
In the published works on WWII, this may be the first deep look into the thoughts and feelings of a young and naive boy from Brooklyn armed with a loaded rifle in Germany. His empathy for others and his humor are unique, and the events of 9/11 were crucial to his writing this account.
His life is now involved in anti-war and pro-human rights activities, and he maintains that the evolution of Truth and Reconciliation committees in South Africa represents one of the most important steps forward in human development.

Jimmy Eat World and Open Mike Eagle Join "30 Days 30 Songs"
By Cameron Wade | November 4, 2016 | 4:59pm
Image via 30 Days, 30 Songs Music Video 30 Days, 30 Songs
"30 Days, 30 Songs" has once again expanded its lineup, this time to 50 total tracks, adding 10 more songs to protest the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Jimmy Eat World is the first band in the expanded lineup, with the song "My Enemy." It was originally released as a B-side to their single "Sure and Certain," but the song's lyrics about unchecked fear are extremely appropriate when considered in the context of Trump's campaign. In the band's statement, they talk about how to resist the kind of fear-mongering that Trump employs:
There are dangerous and very real consequences for using fear of "The Other" to motivate a potential electorate. While that's nothing new in politics, what is newly alarming in context of the current presidential campaign, is how seemingly effective that strategy has been for a certain candidate. That candidate used the low-hanging fruit of fearmongering to gain his initial momentum and continues to employ variations of it to sustain his place. The only way to steel yourself against that kind of manipulation is to do the real self-work in discovering and letting go of your own fears. While that pursuit is difficult because it means fighting against your own ego, it remains worth the effort—not just for what it can do for us as individuals but even more for what it can do for our collective society. Are you willing to accept that maybe, just possibly, what you feel as a threat, isn't?
And released late last night was Open Mike Eagle's "How to Be Super Petty to Your Ex," a song that serves as a commentary on Trump's treatment of his ex-wives and his harassment of women in general. In his statement, Open Mike Eagle said:
This election is a bag of burning alley trash. It's burning and it smells. One of the people in it is the worst person ever and he's dangerously close to the most powerful office in the country because he's learned how to trick poor people into thinking he's going to do something nice for them. It's really bad. I feel like we've earned this though. We've known for a while now that there's at least two Americas and we haven't done anything to attempt to bridge the differences in values. So now we have to defend our country from his groping, gross hands.

Squeals of delight can always be heard from eager students attending any of the numerous riparian field trips Arizona Project WET holds every year. Whether empowered with simple collection devices they've created themselves or armed with sophisticated water sampling technology, these intrepid students poke, prod, and ponder the unique mysteries only wetlands hold. In the process, they become keenly aware of the importance of these often overlooked and underappreciated natural areas.
Wetlands serve several important functions. They help improve surface water quality by preventing erosion, stabilizing streambanks, breaking down some types of pollutants and reducing flood damage. They also cool the air by evapotranspiration and help moderate the climate by absorbing atmospheric carbon and converting it into plant tissue. They recharge groundwater and are nature's buffer zone between groundwater and surface water. In essence, they are crucial in helping maintain a balanced ecosystem.
Fourth-grade students from Desert Mirage Elementary School in Glendale, AZ, are taking water chemistry readings.
Unfortunately, wetland loss has been on the rise at an alarming rate. The Arizona Riparian Council estimates that less than 10 percent of Arizona's original riparian areas remain in their natural form.1 Even more daunting, proposed revisions to the Waters of the US Rule (WOTUS), released by the EPA on December 18, 2018, are expected to significantly increase wetland habitat destruction.
Students from Sunset Hills Elementry School in Surprise, AZ, are collecting macroinvertebrate samples at the Hassayampa River Preserve.
Getting Her Feet Wet: A student from Orangewood Elementary School in Phoenix is enjoying an enriching moment in the Hassayampa River.
Kids aren't the only ones who get to explore! These teachers are on a riparian exploration expedition at the Rio Salado Restoration Habitat in Phoenix during the 2018 Teacher Academy.
Just the mere fact that no government agency or other organization has studied or revised the wetland acreage for the state in decades suggests a strong correlation in people's lack of understanding and disregard for these priceless natural areas.

Hate Speech Turkey's pro-LGBT NGOs to file complaint against nationalists over threat
Turkey's pro-LGBT NGOs to file complaint against nationalists over threat
A group of NGOs announced on Wednesday that they plan to file a criminal complaint against the head of the nationalist Alperen Ocakları's İstanbul branch, who on Monday announced that his group would not allow LGBTI members to hold a pride parade in İstanbul on June 25.
At a joint press conference in İstanbul on Wednesday, pro-LGBT KAOSGL website member Yıldız Tar, along with members of the Sexual Identity Policies and Sexual Orientation Studies Foundation (SPOT) and the Pride Week organizing committee, said they would file a criminal complaint over the threat and would stand against people who threaten them.
Kürşat Mican, head of the İstanbul branch of Alperen Ocakları, an offshoot of Turkish nationalist movement the Grey Wolves (Ülkü Ocakları), said at a press conference on Monday that "wherever they walk, we will go there and block the street. They can come there."
Mican stood trial for threats against LGBTI members ahead of the pride parade last year.
In 2016 the İstanbul Governor's Office banned a pre-scheduled LGBTI pride parade to take place in Taksim on June 19 and 26 soon after an attack at a gay nightclub in Orlando, where a gunman killed 49 people and injured more than 50. The governor's office released a statement underlining that the parade had been canceled due to reasons of safety. (turkishminute.com) June 21, 2017

One of the Main Reasons Your Members Attend Conferences and Events? To Learn From Each Other.
Good food isn't enough to get someone to come to your conference. If your attendees can consistently take the information they learn at your event and apply it in a way that results in a promotion on the job or increased sales for their business, you'll never have to worry about attendance again.
In early February, Sentergroup team members escaped the Chicago winter weather to host the 2018 Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, the Academy's largest annual meeting since Sentergroup began management of AACS in 2014.
Every association is different, and it's important to keep those differences in mind when planning conferences and events. If your association is willing to shake things up and be innovative, you can plan meetings that appeal to the unique needs of entrepreneurs and practice owners.

Veterans returning from combat suffering from chronic and, on occasion, debilitating pain, is a topic many in the military do not want to discuss. Much less is written about these veterans than veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). That the topic is not widely covered does not make it any less of a reality.
Continued exposure to powerful blasts may not leave any physical marks in their wake, but what they may leave, however, is a damaged nervous system. That damaged system can lead to other issues, such as headaches and difficulty processing information. The presence of PTSD and TBI will often make conditions causing pain much worse. In turn, treatment for the pain becomes more complicated.
Suffering from physical pain compounds itself into other issues as well. The emotional stress incurred from handling constant pain often manifests itself in crippling and hyper-stressed cognitive issues. The emotional impact on a person can be severe and when that happens, treatment becomes much more intricate; raising multiple issues requiring attention at the same time.
40% of soldiers injured during Vietnam survived their injuries; today that number is closer to 90%. There are more soldiers surviving their injuries and those injuries are much more complex. Because they are more complex, they demand more involved pain management and rehabilitation.
Treating pain aggressively gives patients the best chance for recovery. Treatments can include exposure to addictive pain medication but used correctly, they play a critical role in the overall pain management.


A new fishing season is underway. Some anglers commit themselves to trying new baits and techniques every new season.
Fishing can be like the weather in mid-summer: Both can be very hot. To take part in this potentially fast action, you'll need to do things a little differently than you would at other times of the year. Following are some of those things.
Generally, in the summer when the fish want to bite it works well to use faster moving baits and fish through areas quickly. If the fish are going to bite, they'll let you know right away.
However, if the bite is slow, you might be better off fishing slow and really working an area thoroughly. If you know the body of water well, then concentrate on spots that you know hold fish and work them over.
Let's say were fishing for largemouth bass. Usually in the summer, early and late in the day are when the fish go on a good bite. This is when you'll want to use a fast moving bait, maybe a buzz-bait or a spinnerbait or a crankbait.
When the sun gets up higher and the bite slows down, you might want to go with plastic baits rigged on a jig or weedless. Fish around vegetation, docks, or any other form of cover where bass hang out.
Fish can be very selective when they get finicky. On a recent mid-summer fishing trip, we experienced one of those days when the fish were finicky. We were fishing for largemouth bass. It was an overcast day, so the bite remained pretty good throughout the day. Good that is, if we were using the right bait. My partner and I were both throwing Impulse plastics, trying different shapes, colors, and sizes. We went through a lot of baits, but a Dip-Stick worm in the watermelon-red color was by far most productive. It was noticeable that this was the bait that the bass preferred by a large margin. Color is a consideration whenever you go fishing, but at times it's a huge factor. So is bait shape and size. Give the fish plenty of options until they show you what their preference on that day is.
Much of the time in the summer, the fish will prefer a faster moving bait, and also one that is moving erratically. Along the weedline, when you feel your bait hang up on a weed, give it a sharp rip. When a bass or walleye or pike sees that bait struggling on a weed, then ripping free and appearing to be escaping, a strike will often be triggered.
Mid-summer fishing is heating up. It's fun to be on the water when the sun comes up, catch some fish, then take a mid-day break. Maybe go to town or something, but be back on the water in the early evening. You'll catch fish, and you'll be taking full advantage of all that summer has to offer in the way of fish.

Let's Just Say It: Demi Moore's Character in 'Charlie's Angels' was Bisexual
According to the tabloids, Demi Moore has been up to some pretty gay shit.
The actress is allegedly dating Serbian stylist Masha Mandzuka. The headlines have been extremely homophobic, almost borderline comedic—most refer to the stylist as Moore's "gal pal" or "secret girlfriend." Regardless, my gay heart was set aflutter by these rumors, especially because Demi Moore is an actress that I grew up lusting over—and let's be real, she's done some pretty gay shit. From her MoC bald lewk in G.I. Jane (1997), to playing a promiscuous bisexual in Rough Night (2017), to her days as a Suit Lord in Now & Then (1995), she's never shied away from a queer aesthetic. But there's one Demi Moore movie in particular that sent my teenage self spiraling, and that was Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle—her gayest movie.
The 2003 action-comedy from director McG was a staple of 2000s culture. It was jam-packed with girl power, skin-tight leather pants, and (exploitative) flirtations between some of our favorite actresses from the early aughts. The latter were often instigated by Madison Lee (Moore), who I believe is and has always been canonically bisexual.
Now, just because someone is canonically queer doesn't mean they're, uhh, a progressive and accurate portrayal of a queer person. But as all girls who like girls know, people contain multitudes. So, while I understand that Madison may actually be a harmful trope of a bisexual woman and hasn't necessarily done anything for the community, I can also appreciate her face and her mouth and what she has done for me personally. Yes, it's true: You can be woke and pussy-blind at the same time.
With that being said, Madison fits flawlessly into the trope of the depraved bisexual—without actually being explicitly defined as bisexual. She's deceitful, wicked, hyper-sexualized, and openly predatory. Every single one of those words is meant to be negative, and yet on Demi Moore, it fucking works. Madison is the type of morally compromising depraved bisexual that will make you say, "Why did they make her say that?" but then immediately follow it up with, "I don't know but maybe we should see how this plays out."
In Full Throttle, Madison seemingly has a crush on Natalie (Cameron Diaz). The bubbly blonde and the slithering brunette are foils of each other, which has all the makings of a great on-screen lesbian romance (See: Alex and Piper in OITNB). In numerous scenes, Madison attempts to seduce Natalie—although, admittedly, she uses that surface-level bad guy seduction technique. It's not actually heartfelt. Even though it's sexy, it's about as sensual as Scar from The Lion King talking to Simba—AKA, uncomfortably flirtatious given the circumstances.
When they first meet on the beach, Madison stuffs her surfboard in the sand where Natalie is kneeling, and feigned tension is already bubbling. They exchange a deluge of sexual innuendo before Madison leans in close, just an inch from Natalie's mouth, and whispers sweet nothings into her pores. Later, during their infamous "go to hell" face-off, Madison literally drags her ruby red lips down Natalie's face, pointing the barrel of her gun at Natalie's throat. Again, the sexual tension isn't real and it's all exploitative and male gazey, but look, when you're 12 and questioning, these scenes are tight as hell.
But if the sexual tension between Madison and Natalie wasn't enough, there's also her outfits. Demi Moore loves a pantsuit, and while attending a movie premiere/bad guy summit as a villainous sex fiend, she sports a satin black button-up and matching trousers—perfect for leaping off buildings and ruining all your relationships. Then there's the luscious, floor-length fur coat, the tiny black bikini, the killer stilettos, the golden guns! Madison was basically source material for Blake Lively's character in A Simple Favor.
A few months ago, I ranked every Charlie's Angel, past and present, based on lesbianism, and Madison came in at a fiery number 4 out of 14. Unfortunately, she couldn't be number one, because Kristen Stewart has signed on to play an Angel in the latest iteration of the franchise, plus Drew Barrymore's character is exquisitely dykey, and one of the Angels in the 2011 TV series dies before the first episode is over, which is lesbian as fuck. However, Madison deserves to be ranked highly because of her most lesbian quality: It's not her masculine trousers, or her big lesbian crush on Natalie. No, it's her penchant for revenge.
Once Madison's wronged, she will hang it over your head and let it haunt you until you die—or until she comes for you at the Griffith Park Observatory wielding two goldslicked handguns, and she thinks you and your friends are dead, but as it turns out, you're all wearing bulletproof vests. Us queer women carry our grudges to the grave, so we love a good revenge plot, even if we let it consume us. Madison isn't just evil—she's an avenger, and not the straight Marvel kind.
Demi Moore's former Angel is a queer goddess, and I can't believe we haven't claimed her as our own sooner. But now that the actress has ditched Bruce Willis and Ashton Kutcher and has potentially started dating women, it seems like as good a time as ever to demand a spin-off where Madison is resurrected from the dead and elopes with Natalie to live a life of crime and lesbianism. I look forward to more queer roles in Moore's future, and more hot Serbian girlfriends. A world with a queer Demi Moore is a world I'd like to live in.


The Graphene Flagship's Spotlight series tells the stories behind the research. PhD student Santiago J. Cartamil-Bueno is involved in various graphene-related projects. He tells u about his work and his passion for science.
Santiago J. Cartamil-Bueno is a PhD student working with Herre van der Zant in Delft Technical University, the Netherlands. Currently writing up his PhD thesis, his main work has been on using graphene in sensitive pressure sensors. Alongside this, he has presented graphene-based prototype screens with pixels too small to see, and is preparing for an exciting experiment on using graphene in light sails for spacecraft propulsion.
What is the theme of your PhD research?
My research is focused on exploiting the mechanical properties and impermeable properties of graphene to make highly accurate hermetic pressure sensors, by suspending graphene membranes over cavities in a substrate. I collaborate with Graphenea to make the devices.
I noticed that the suspended graphene changed colour under different pressures because the graphene on top moved in and out of the cavity. We can see them – as they change over time and with pressure. Using this, I developed a technique to characterise these devices in an optical microscope. We have continued this research, and now we can make these measurements on hundreds of devices in parallel, to get statistics on the devices – how porous they are, but also correlated with size. We are showing the way to standardise this type of hermetic devices.
You presented some of this work at Mobile World Congress 2017. How did that go?
After we published the results on the colour changes, I heard about the Graphene Flagship going to Mobile World Congress. I though, technically, what we have are pixels – not normal pixels, but it seemed worth investigating. I found out that mechanical pixels already existed, but now we can do it with graphene – a new application.
We had to use a lot of creativity to show these ultra-small pixels, we needed to use a microscope to show people the colour change. I'm very happy with how it went. We are now looking for a patent on this result, and I'm also thinking about making a start-up company based on these ideas.
Artists impression of the colour-changing graphene mechanical pixels.
You travelled to Boston using a Graphene Flagship Mobility Grant. What did you do there?
We were trying to determine the adhesion energy of graphene on our substrates. I thought that the person to collaborate with would be Scott Bunch at Boston University (MA, USA). In Boston, we used a technique that involves putting the device under a lot of pressure inside the cavity, so that when you take it out, it suddenly inflates and the graphene should delaminate from the edges. Unfortunately, this technique did not work for our samples.
Being in Boston was a great experience. I really loved the group, and I want to keep in contact in the future. If you ask anyone about Boston, they will tell you about business. So, I took the opportunity to visit companies and meet people as well. I also gave a presentation at Harvard on using graphene as a spacecraft sail for space exploration.
What made you interested in science?
I think one of the key differences between humans and other animals is our curiosity. We want to know more – we are innate explorers. For me, research is a bit like that. I want to understand nature better. The other thing, together with curiosity, is intuition. Science is being perceived as extremely rational, but I think some of the great ideas and major advances have come from the fact that someone, at some point, was crazy enough to dare.
How did the Drop Your Thesis! GrapheneX project come about?
I studied physics because I wanted to be an astronaut, like many kids. My passion for space was rekindled seeing the Milky Way for the first time in the mountains in Peru. When I found out about ESA Education's Drop Your Thesis! programme I was inspired to combine my old dream with my research. I formed a team with some colleagues, and we came up with an idea about using graphene in solar sails. Solar sails use light pressure to propel objects in space, and so the sail material needs to be very light.
We are now building an experiment to test graphene sails in a microgravity drop tower. We split tasks between the team and things are working well. We are very ambitious with the quality of the experiments. We really want to do it properly, so we are committed to do real science in this project. I'm really looking forward to doing the experiment in November.

Lahane ist ein Stadtteil der osttimoresischen Landeshauptstadt Dili.

Geographie
Lahane liegt in den Bergen, anderthalb Kilometer südlich des Stadtzentrums von Dili, auf einer Meereshöhe von . Es teilt sich auf in die Sucos Lahane Ocidental (West-Lahane, Verwaltungsamt Vera Cruz) und Lahane Oriental (Ost-Lahane, seit 2004 Verwaltungsamt Nain Feto).

Lahane Ocidental und Mascarenhas sind als urban definiert, Lahane Oriental nicht.

Geschichte

Der portugiesische Gouverneur Afonso de Castro (1859 bis 1861 und 1862 bis 1863) errichtete in Lahane die neue Residenz des Gouverneurs (Palácio de Lahane) und begann 1860 den Bau des Krankenhauses von Lahane (Antigo Hospital Português). Das Krankenhaus in Lahane war in drei Bereiche aufgeteilt: Einer für Europäer für vier Rupien, einer für Chinesen für drei Rupien und einer für Einheimische für zwei Rupien pro Tag. Ein Australier beschreibt 1877 das Krankenhaus als ein großes, luftiges und sauberes Gebäude, in dem den Kranken viel Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt wurde. Außerdem wurden unter Gouverneur José Manuel Pereira de Almeida (1863 bis 1864), eine Missionsschule, die Brücke und die Straße zwischen Dili und Lahane fertiggestellt.

1869 wütete eine Choleraepidemie in Dili. Gouverneur João Clímaco de Carvalho (1870 bis 1871) dachte deswegen zeitweise über eine komplette Verlagerung der Hauptstadt in das klimatisch günstiger und weniger ungesunde Lahane. Doch die Einwohner wollten aufgrund der Wasserversorgung nicht. In Dili hatte fast jedes Haus einen Brunnen, in Lahane musste man das Wasser von einem etwas entfernten Fluss holen. Die Missionsschule für die Söhne einheimischer Herrscher (Liurai) wurde unter Generalvikar António Joaquim de Medeiros 1879 für 16.000 Rupien modernisiert. Sie verfügte nun über Wohngebäude, ein Missionsarchiv und die erste Bücherei auf Timor.

1887 wurde Gouverneur Alfredo de Lacerda Maia von einer Gruppe Moradores in einem Hinterhalt auf der Straße zwischen Dili und Lahane ermordet. Es war der Beginn der Revolte der Moradores.

Bis zum Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts entstanden in Lahane, jenseits des malariaverseuchten Tieflands, mehrere Häuser im Kolonialstil und Regierungsgebäude. 1927 stand in Lahane die Residenz des Gouverneurs.

Im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde Lahane, im Verlauf der Schlacht um Timor, von der australischen Luftwaffe bombardiert.

Am 20. November 1992 wurde Xanana Gusmão, der Führer der osttimoresischen Widerstandsbewegung FALINTIL, bei einer großangelegten Aktion des indonesischen Militärs TNI mit 40.000 Soldaten in einem Haus in Lahane gefangen genommen.

5 glue guys to keep an eye on in 2016-17
Baylor's Ishmail Wainright (24) helps his team with a bevy of heads-up, hustle plays on both sides of the ball.
It's a player a coach doesn't have to ask to make the right decision. It's someone filling whatever role their team needs it on a given night (scoring, rebounding, defense, playmaking, etc.) It's a stat that won't show up in the box score, but you better believe you'll know it when you see it.
The college basketball water cooler topic of the day: glue guys.
Some say the glue guys of college basketball have a knack for being that Johnny-on-the-spot type of a role player. Others say these players play like an extension of their coach on the court. At the end of the day, the reason is the same: These are players with high basketball IQs.
Athleticism, speed and strength still rule the day of course, but a little basketball savvy never hurt anybody, right? As such, NCAA.com takes a look at five guys who help steer the ship for their respective squads.
Amile Jefferson — Duke
Anyone who has been at school as long as Duke's Amile Jefferson has to know how to do everything by now. And not only is he a jack of all trades for head coach Mike Krzyzewski, but he's also been through just about every possible scenario in the postseason (losing in the first round to Mercer in 2014; winning the national championship over Wisconsin in 2015; losing a regional semifinal to Oregon in 2016), which makes his mind just as much of an asset as his 6-foot-9 frame has proven to be.
Duke's Amile Jefferson (21) is an emotional leader while Grayson Allen (3) and others handle the scoring.
Jefferson has turned himself into a double-double machine with four in the team's first eight games — including a massive 17-point, 15-rebound effort against then-No. 21 Rhode Island on Nov. 20 — but defense has been the hallmark for Jefferson through the years. The Philadelphia-bred forward is averaging a career-high two blocks a night so far this year, which has helped hold down the frontcourt despite a bevy of injuries that continue to bedevil the Dukies. Jefferson may not light up the stat sheet every night, but he's the elder statesman on a team that is rife with underclassmen. Wherever Duke team ends up, Jefferson will be right in the middle of things.
Ishmail Wainwright — Baylor
Anyone who watched Baylor's run through the 2016 Battle 4 Atlantis tournament could not have gone more than a few minutes without hearing Wainright's name bellowed by the ESPN broadcasters working the event — mainly Dan Dakich. And with good cause, as Wainwright left his impression on the basketball faitfhul that showed up to take in the tipoff tournament. Ok, Johnathan Motley's weekend in the Bahamas trumps all, but Wainwright is still one of the reasons that Baylor is off and running in the early-season portion of its schedule.
Ishmail Wainwright (24) is one of the oft-overlooked members of a Baylor team that is in the AP Top 25.
There's plenty of praise to heap on Motley and point guard Manu Lecomte (12.4 ppg, 5.3 apg), but Wainwright's role is a bit tougher to define. During his time at Baylor, his statlines have rarely stood out. So how is it that a player averaging 6.6 points, six rebounds and 4.1 assists is having such a major impact? First of all, he makes good, unselfish decisions with the basketball. Mix that with tenacious, hard-nosed defense, and that's one heck of a recipe. Wainwright is normally the first to the floor after every loose ball, he fights for rebounds, battles for extra possessions, and does it all with aplomb. Baylor surely has the flash of a top-25 team, but this senior from Kansas City, Missouri, makes sure the Bears aren't light on substance.
RELATED: 7 teams pleasantly surprising us so far
Thomas Welsh — UCLA
The Bruins have enough wing players and guards to fill out two rosters, but besides freshman forward T.J. Leaf, UCLA is a bit thin up front. Enter junior center Thomas Welsh. For all the attention that UCLA is getting from college basketball pundits, not too many are paying attention to the 7-foot pivot who is averaging a near double-double for the second straight season.
UCLA Bruins center Thomas Welsh (40) patrols and controls the paint for head coach Steve Alford.
The guards may get most of the attention, but the California native is happy to keep cleaning up the glass and protecting the rim for UCLA head coach Steve Alford.
Thomas Welsh Points Rebounds Assists Blocks
2015-16 11.2 8.5 0.5 1.0
The scoring may be down a touch for the Bruins big man, but that department will not be an issue for this club. The leadership and toughness that Welsh brings to the table will be far more important as this UCLA team moves into the meat of its schedule. But don't let that belie the fact that Welsh can be a legitimate scoring threat inside. He's got a back to the basket game that is more that capable and a mid-range jumpshot that will come in handy for all of the Bruins guards operating in the open court. If all goes according to plan, Welsh could be the guy that gets this team to gel on all cylinders.
Northwestern guard Sanjay Lumpkin (34) is hoping to be a part of the school's first NCAA tournament berth.
Sanjay Lumpkin — Northwestern
If the Northwestern Wildcats are going to punch the team's first ticket to the NCAA tournament in school history, a lot has to fall their way. They'll also need plenty of hustle plays from senior forward Sanjay Lumpkin. His numbers are basically the same from a year ago (3.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists a game in 2015-16; 6.3 points, 5.4 boards and 1.9 assists in 2016-17), but the improvements to his free-throw and field-goal percentages have forced the hand of head coach Chris Collins. Lumpkin has a knack for helping extend plays on offense or coming up with timely rebounds, and he has a reputation as an above-average defender. And an improved ability to score the ball when his number is called has placed Lumpkin higher in the rotation come crunchtime. Lumpkin's performance against Wake Forest — 10 points, seven rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block in a 65-58 win — included five of NU's 13 offensive boards.
Tres Tinkle — Oregon State
It may be a bit cliché to include Oregon State head coach Wayne Tinkle's son on this list, but the sophomore forward has earned his spot on this starting five of glue guys. The improvement from his freshman year to his sophomore campaign has been evident, as Tinkle has gone from a supporting member and second-leading scorer on an NCAA tournament team a year ago to the lead man in the 2016-17 campaign.
An injury to Oregon State's Tres Tinkle (3) could be a thorn in the side for the Beavers before Pac-12 play.
Last year he was even one of the team's better options from the 3-point line, albeit in a limited showing (29-of-80, 36.3 percent).
Tres Tinkle Points Rebounds Assists Steals
Granted, the departure of former Beaver Gary Payton II has a lot to do with the change this year, but Tinkle was making a case for some more touches even in the latter stages of last season. A foot injury kept him out of a few Pac-12 tournament games and the team's eventual loss to VCU in the NCAA tournament, but the fire has clearly been lit for the 6-foot-8 southpaw. He has been on a tear this year but will have to wait a while before his next action on the hardwood. Last week, Tinkle broke a bone in his right hand during a loss to Fresno State, but it remains unclear if surgery will be required to mend the injury, according to Danny Moran of OregonLive.com. One thing is for sure, the Beavers will miss Tinkle's playmaking and scoring, as Oregon State ranks second to last in the conference in terms of assist-making (12.1 per game) and last in scoring through eight games (66.4 points).

Xenoblade Chronicles 2's Overview Trailer Shows off a Good Chunk of the Game
Get ready for a satisfying JRPG.

Home » News » Xenoblade Chronicles 2's Overview Trailer Shows off a Good Chunk of the Game
We're not out of the woods just yet when it comes to big video game releases for 2017. We've still got plenty more coming, namely in terms of Xenoblade Chronicles 2, for one, for the Nintendo Switch. Nintendo doesn't want us to forget about the massive role-playing game that's coming down the line either, and thus we have a Japanese trailer that shows off a good clip of what's to come in the game.
The game follows the scavenger Rex and a living weapon known as Pyra, a Blade. You're on your way to find her home while leading a whole group of Blades before the world comes to an end. You'll explore worlds that take place on the back of enormous creatures called Titans as well as get to know a mighty large cast of characters as well. There are several different regions and cultures to get to know nestled throughout the world of Alrest, and it looks like a lot of fun to uncover.
Xenoblade Chronicles is headed to Nintendo Switch on Dec. 1, so you'll have plenty of time to add it to your holiday wish lists.

Valve Considering Hosting Esports Tournaments in New Zealand, Says Gabe Newell
Readers' Choice Game of The Year 2020


When Jacinda Ardern became Prime Minister, New Zealand started to have a lot of reasons to become hopeful about making real progress on gender equality. A year beforehand, we had a Prime Minister who didn't know what feminism was, and a Minister for Women who considered herself a feminist "most days" but not when she was "getting on and being busy". Now we have a Prime Minister who publicly identifies as a feminist, without exception, defends women's rights, and who is taking on the role of PM whilst also becoming a mother. In Julie-Anne Genter we have a "full time" feminist as Minister for Women, one who sees "getting on and being busy" as the Minister for Women as exactly what a feminist does.
Articles flooded newspapers all over the world, praising her accomplishment as the third female PM that New Zealand has elected. Given this, and New Zealand's high rankings in international studies on equality, prosperity, and freedom, it can be easy to fall into a false sense of security about women's equality. We were the first country to gain the right to vote, so surely that gave us a jump start over every other country to gain equality? Evidently not so, as progress has stalled in recent years. Just take a look at the Gender Pay Gap which stubbornly remains around 9.7%. Research by the Ministry for Women found that 80% of this is due to "unexplained" factors, like conscious and unconscious bias which impact negatively on women's recruitment and pay advancement as well as differences in men and women's choices and behaviours.
Whilst Ardern's accomplishment should absolutely be celebrated, we cannot allow our euphoria to overshadow the fact that New Zealand has the worst rate of family and intimate-partner violence in the the developed world. And this is just based on the 20% of incidents that are actually reported; we've barely scratched the surface of the damage that this crime, overwhelmingly perpetrated against women, does to our communities and families. How equal, prosperous and free can our country truly be when one in three New Zealand women experience physical and/or sexual violence by their partner in their lifetime? Not to mention the drain this causes on our economy (estimated at between NZ$4.1 billion to $7 billion) and our justice system (2016 saw police attend over 100,000 domestic violence incidents).
What we need is government wide action to tackle the culture around domestic violence by actively changing women's position in New Zealand. As Dr Ang Jury, the CEO of Women's Refuge, says, "we know what it looks like, we know that it's bad but we don't make a hell of a lot of headway in addressing it." The first thing that needs to change is the thought that it's okay to control women. Having more women visibly in positions of power goes some way to achieving this, but the effects are diminished when women in power are stereotyped into the narrow box of school mistress. Whilst antiquated attitudes of women's roles in society continue to be allowed and perpetuated, women will continue to be victims of men using physical and sexual acts of aggression to control them. Unfortunately, dropping the Women's portfolio from Cabinet was not a first step in this direction.
The Government needs to commit to changing attitudes around domestic violence as a crime. In a 2014 survey by the Ministry of Justice, 41% of female victims of 'violent interpersonal offences' considered the incident 'wrong, but not a crime' and 24% of female victims considered the incident to be 'just something that happens'. Domestic violence is not and should not be something that happens in our culture, and if it does happen it is absolutely a crime. It is this kind of strong message that our Government should be sending in their first days of governing, rather than silence and unfulfilled promises.
The continual failure of successive governments to do something on this cannot be due to lack of awareness of the severity of harm. The tragic story of Sophie Elliott comes back to me every time I hear of another domestic violence case in the media; of how she was just about to start a promising career as an economist, or how her mother heard the murder happen through the door but was unable to get through in time. Ardern herself spoke out about this issue while in opposition, saying "we have the power to do something about this".
Standing up to domestic violence should be one of the top priorities for every Government in New Zealand until it is eradicated. Labour's plans to tackle domestic violence is admirable, including commitments to adequately fund crisis intervention and joining up government agencies and family violence services, but these were relatively far down in their election manifesto and plans to put these into motion were not mentioned in Ardern's first 100 days in office. This is more than just community safety, which brings to mind such indiscretions as graffiti on park benches and parking offences. Domestic violence is not something which can be tidied up after the 'really tough and important matters' of government have been made. This is about men using physical and sexual acts of aggression towards women and children in their homes in order to control them, and governments continuing to fail to protect those women and children.
If Ardern does not use her position of power to defend the third of Kiwi women who will experience this in their lifetime, if another year goes by and another 525,000 incidents of family violence occur, then we should start to question our celebrations of her rise and what it will mean for women.

If you are looking for Jewellery in Mahmutlar why not consider MOISSANITE.
Is a Moissanite Diamond a Real Diamond?
Although a centre stone is typically a diamond, there are other options that can make an special ring more affordable and just as beautiful.
One of these options is moissanite.
Moissanite, is a naturally occurring mineral found in limited quantities in the earth. Originally discovered in 1893 in a meteor crater, by nobel peace price winner Dr. Henri Moissan, the jewel was later named in his honour.
The natural quantities of moissanite are too small to create jewellery. It is a very rare and scarce mineral.
Created moissanite is silicon carbide formed as a single crystal.
It is unlike any other jewel ever seen!
Dr. Henri Moissan discovered minute quantities of a new mineral in an ancient meteorite in Arizona. At its essence was the potential for an absolutely shimmering brilliance, fire, lustre, and incredible hardness.
Unfortunately, the supply of natural moissanite wasn't large enough even to create a pair of earrings. It was only after years of research that a breakthrough discovery enabled the limited production & distribution of moissanite with crystals large enough to act as diamond substitutes. It's production was an uncommon combination of science and art.
Properly cut by master cutters the comparison to fine diamond is unavoidable.
Moissanite has measurably more fire, brilliance and luster at a fraction of the cost of diamond.
These faceted jewels now offer you a variety of choices as they are available near colourless to very slightly tinted are available in round, oval, marquise, pear shape, radiant cut octagon, heart shape, triangle, trillion, princess cut squares, and antique squares.
But is a Moissanite really as good as a Diamond?
The truth is there is a very little to set the two apart and most diamond testers cannot detect whether a gemstone is a real diamond or moissanite gemstone.
The traditional test for a valuable gemstone is hardness. The harder a material, the more difficult it is to scratch.
On the Mohs Scale of Hardness, moissanite is rated as a 9.25, which is a great score that is higher than any gemstone used in jewellery besides diamonds.
Diamonds, which are the hardest known mineral, score a 10.
Brilliance, which refers to the ability to reflect white light, is a good measure for how much a diamond will 'sparkle'.
Moissanite disperses light very well and is actually more brilliant than a diamond.
Additionally, moissanite is less likely to attract grease or dirt than a diamond and should keep the 'sparkle' longer in between cleanings.
Moissanite gemstones are not graded on color.
Classic moissanite is not colourless and many feel that its colour is similar to a GIA-certified K-color diamond.
As with diamonds, the smaller the moissanite, the more colourless it will look.
Overall, moissanite is a fraction of the cost of a diamond.
With moissanite you normally pay more for size rather than cut.
The truth is that the latest handcrafted moissanite can fool even the most sophisticated diamond testers and it is becoming more and more difficult to be sure whether a diamond is a real diamond or actually a manufactured moissanite.
Whether you choose diamonds or the cheaper moissanite you should ensure that you are buying what you are paying for and check certificates and authenticity as a simple diamond tester is no longer sufficient to prove the worth of the gemstone.
On the other hand, the mineral source for MOISSANITE is far more rare than diamonds so if you invest in the cheaper option today you may well find you have a very valuable investment for the future.
CHANGE JEWELLERY, is situated in the centre of Mahmutlar, a couple of doors down from IZZY's Restaurant and Bar.
Emre the owner is an extremely reputable and meticulously honest businessman who is very well informed about MOISSANITE stones, the only jeweller promoting this gemstone in the area. You will find he is happy to give you as much information as you need about the production of moissanite and its comparison with diamond and has a good selection of jewellery to show you.
Think you know your jewellery?
Go and see if you can tell the difference!!!
My money is on you being unable to do anything other than make a lucky guess.
MOISSANITE is really a girl's NEW BEST FRIEND!!!!
I do need to say, however, if you see happen to see me with a large diamond ring on my finger, it is of course a real diamond.
Try a little sparkle on your finger …….

Q: Why does TypeScript allow implicit downcast in method parameters? Here is the example:
interface Vehicle{
    mass:number
}
interface InspectorClass{
    inspect(v:Vehicle):void
}

class Car implements Vehicle{
    mass = 2000
    wheels = 4
}
class Boat implements Vehicle{
    mass = 3000
    sails = 2
}

// with methods it silently fails:

class BoatInspector implements InspectorClass{
    inspect(v:Boat){ // interface contract silently violated!!!
        console.log(v.mass)
        console.log(v.sails)
    }
}

function runInspection(inspector:InspectorClass, vehicle:Vehicle){
    inspector.inspect(vehicle)
}

let myCar = new Car()
let myBoatInspector = new BoatInspector()
runInspection(myBoatInspector, myCar)

// with functions it checks properly:

type InspectorFunction = (v:Vehicle) => void

const inspectCar:InspectorFunction = function(v:Car){ // TypeScript complains as it should
    console.log(v.mass)
    console.log(v.wheels)
}

TypeScript Playground
The contract of the interface states that an inspect method in an InspectorClass instance has to be able to inspect any kind of Vehicle. Why does TypeScript let me implement a class that actually only accepts Boats without complaining? Is this a bug? Or is it by design for some reason? Or can I enable this with some flag?

A: The linked duplicate explains the situation.  For your code above, the fix is probably to use --strictFunctionTypes and write your method signature as a function-valued-property signature:
interface InspectorClass{
    inspect: (v:Vehicle) => void
}

DBS first in Singapore to incorporate hackathons into its talent development programme
New breed of hackathons to encourage further collaboration between organisations and startups; help build the startup ecosystem in Singapore
SINGAPORE,01 April 2015 -
DBS has initiated a brand new approach to hackathons. At the DBS MegaHackathon last week, the bank brought together 150 DBS employees and startups from around the region to tackle business and societal challenges. This makes DBS the first organisation in Singapore to build hackathons into its talent development programme, with employees creating prototypes alongside startups.
This initiative by DBS is driven by a desire to create a more digital mindset among its employees. The hackathon serves as a sandbox for employees to experiment like a startup, utilising lean startup methodology and human-centred design to identify and act on opportunities quickly. It also provides startups with the opportunity to interact with like-minded peers, understand business realities and showcase their capabilities.
Today, technology drives 99% of DBS' interactions with its customers, and with more FinTechs entering the traditional banking space, the digital agenda is a key priority for the bank. In addition to building technology infrastructure to support a more nimble organisation, DBS is also focused on making sure staff embrace innovation.
Said Dave Gledhill, Head of Group Technology & Operations at DBS: "Our industry is seeing an unprecedented pace of change and if we wish to remain relevant to our customers, our employees must embrace a culture of innovation and be intrapreneurs. At events such as the DBS MegaHackathon, our employees and startups can benefit from each other's knowledge and expertise, as well as have a cultural exchange. This fresh approach to hackathons has generated a number of viable working prototypes for the bank. We believe it will also help shape the startup ecosystem in Singapore by creating business opportunities for them."
By making innovation a key focus of its talent development programme, DBS is also equipping its employees with skills and knowledge to shape the future of banking.
Said Lee Yan Hong, Head of Group Human Resources at DBS: "We are committed to providing opportunities for our employees to learn, develop and excel in their careers. As the bank embarks on its digital journey, it is essential for us to innovate and find new ways to groom the next generation of digitally-minded leaders through exposure, education and experiential learning."
The five-day DBS MegaHackathon took place from 23-27 March at Block 79, Ayer Rajah, part of the newly expanded JTC Launchpad @ One-North startup cluster. The event kicked off with a two-day workshop to help DBS employees adopt a digital mindset and an outside-in approach to the customer journey. This was followed by a three-day hackathon where bank staff and startups teamed up to create 19 prototype mobile apps to better engage customers in an increasingly mobile world.
Judges at the DBS MegaHackathon included DBS CEO Piyush Gupta, DBS Chief Innovation Officer Neal Cross, DBS Head of Group Human Resources Lee Yan Hong and Venture Capitalist Jeffrey Paine. The three winning startups walked away with prizes of SGD 8,000, SGD 6,000 and SGD 4,000 respectively, while the rest were awarded SGD 2,000 each. (For details on challenges and winners, please see Appendix A and B)
The bank piloted its first hackathon in Singapore last October and has organised three more, including the DBS MegaHackathon, since then. More than 250 DBS employees and 160 startup members across the region have participated in the hackathons to co-create 50 prototypes.
1) DBS MegaHackathon_Ideation: Participants brainstorm on ideas to tackle business challenges
2) DBS MegaHackathon_Experimentation: Participants experiment with the technology behind mobile apps
3) DBS Hackathon_Collaboration: Participants fostering stronger relationships in a new learning environment
4) DBS MegaHackathon_Interaction: Making learning fun and creating a conducive environment for innovation

Q: Wxpython, Force window size to be bigger than screen size How do I make WXPython disregard monitor sizes, when it resizes?
I want to make a really large window, so I can get a bitmap of all elements within the window. This program is not meant to be interactive in any way. I am using wxpython to set up a poster, using sizers, pictures and text, and then getting a bitmap via the DC.
All I found on this issue was a similar question, asking about the same problem, using the WinAPI.

About 1881 Wales Census
The 1881 British Isles Census was taken on the night of 3 April 1881. The following information was requested:
Name of street, avenue road, etc.
House number or name
Whether or not the house was inhabited
Number of rooms occupied if less than five
Name of each person that had spent the night in that household
Relationship of person enumerated to the head of the family
Each person's marital status
Age at last birthday (sex is indicated by which column the age is recorded in)
Each person's occupation
Person's place of birth
Whether deaf and dumb, blind, imbecile or idiot, or lunatic.
Enumeration forms were distributed to all households a couple of days before census night and the complete forms were collected the next day. All responses were to reflect the individual's status as of 3 April 1881 for all individuals who had spent the night in the house. People who were traveling or living abroad were enumerated at the location where they spent the night on census night. All of the details from the individual forms were later sorted and copied into enumerators' books, which are the records we can view images of today. The original householders schedules from 1841 to 1901 were destroyed.
*Note: If you do not initially find the name on the page that you are linked to, try a few pages forward or backward.
How the census forms are organized:
Census returns were collected according to registration district. These returns were divided into sub-districts and assigned consecutive piece numbers for reference purposes. The piece numbers begin in London with number one and work roughly south to north, followed by the Welsh districts and then the Isle of Man and Channel Islands. You will find the piece number on a paper strip at the bottom of every image, following the PRO class number. There may be hundreds of pieces within a county.
In addition to the piece number, each page of the returns includes a folio number and/or a page number. The folio number was stamped onto every other page before microfilming and is located in the upper right hand corner of the image. Folio numbering usually starts over at the beginning of each piece. The page number is part of the printed form and is found on every page in the upper right hand corner. The page numbers start over at the beginning of every enumeration district. A full reference number for a record in the 1881 census includes the PRO class number (RG11), the piece number, the folio number, and the page number. Keep in mind that you may have to look at several enumeration districts to find the page you want within a given folio since the page numbers start over with every ED.

Street Fighter 5: Arcade Edition adds new V-triggers, Arcade Mode, according to new Amazon listing
Posted By: newzon: October 05, 2017 In: Uncategorized1 Comment
There is going to be an Arcade Edition of Street Fighter 5, because all these retail listings can't be wrong.
A listing for Street Fighter 5: Arcade Edition was spotted earlier today on Amazon US for PlayStation 4. This is not the first time we're hearing about it, either.
A couple of weeks ago, the same version was briefly available on the website of a reputable retailer in the UK. While that listing didn't bring any new information about what's actually in the Arcade Version, today's Amazon page thankfully has.
There's no cover art at present, but we do learn about the new Arcade mode. "Choose from six different paths themed after classic Street Fighter games," the mode's description reads. Playing this mode lets you unlock "hundreds" of illustrations.
Extra battle is another new distraction that tasks players with completing timed challenges and win exclusive costumes.
The biggest news here is that the Arcade Edition is bringing new V-triggers for all characters, upping the number of available V-triggers two for each one. This is a major upgrade, and it'll no doubt change how the game is played when you can pick between different V-triggers. Finally, the Arcade Edition brings with it a UI redesign with "exciting pre-and-post-fight effects."
The Amazon page does not list a release date, but this is looking more and more likely at this point. It's very possible Capcom will release a free update to existing owners to bring everyone under the new Arcade Edition umbrella, while at the same time enjoying a new soft launch for the new retail version.
This is something fans of the series actually asked for, after Capcom botched the game's initial launch. Unlike the many Street Fighter 4 editions, this does not split the community and offers Capcom a fresh start, a win-win.

What does change feel like? Living through societal transformation
The pits are closed and the men are unemployed. Flooding overwhelms a town. Large numbers of strange people move in to a neighbourhood.
What does it feel to live through deep and far reaching processes of societal transformation? How do people in different places respond to forces that they experience as outside their control – de-industrialisation, population change, and climate change? How can communities survive and thrive in the face of disruptions to their environment and destabilizations of established ways of living and being together? Drawing on a fifteen year long study of three places in Yorkshire – Barnsley, Hebden Bridge and inner city Leeds – this lecture will offer a psychosocial, sensory exploration of these questions.
Venue: Herbert Smith Freehills LLP, Exchange House, Primrose Street, London EC2A 2EG

Dan Walters: A game of budget chicken
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says he'll slash wages for as many as 200,000 state employees and lay off 22,000 temporary workers until the state has a budget – but he'd better keep a few lawyers around because he may find himself in an epic legal battle.
Schwarzenegger's melodramatic act, which first surfaced last week and was tentatively scheduled to happen on Monday, now has been postponed.
"The first day of savings will be Thursday," spokesman Aaron McLear said, "so the governor will invoke his executive authority Thursday to ensure the state has enough cash to cover its costs."
Ostensibly, Schwarzenegger's action is to save money because the state is running short, but Controller John Chiang says there's enough to last through September. And the state could borrow to cover its bills even without a budget.
The real reason, it's apparent, is to pressure the Legislature to resolve its deep partisan differences over spending, taxes and Schwarzenegger's demand for a "budget reform" that would include a cap on spending growth. And a three-day delay, one assumes, is to create more anxiety among state workers and more media attention and generate more pressure.
Chiang has vowed to continue writing paychecks for full salaries, rather than the federal minimum wage specified in the draft of Schwarzenegger's executive order, and that's the nub of the looming legal dispute.
The governor's action is based on a 2003 state Supreme Court decision that resulted from a previous budget wrangle. The court declared that "state law contractually guarantees that state employees ultimately will receive their full salary for work performed during a budget impasse, but state law does not authorize the controller to disburse state funds to the employees until an applicable appropriation has been enacted." During an impasse, the court implied, the state must pay workers only the federal minimum wage, now $6.55 per hour.
The Governor's Office is arguing, in essence, that if Chiang issues paychecks without a budget, it would violate that ruling. Chiang maintains that were he not to pay workers full salaries, they could sue.
"I don't want to subject the state of California to legal liability," Chiang said. "Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, if we do not pay full wage, we may be subject to treble damages that would only exacerbate an already difficult financial situation.
"I believe that it is potentially illegal. The court did not decide as to the proper amount to be paid.
"So why would we want to test it when there is very little upside and significant downside at risk?"
The legal picture grew even more muddled when state Sen. Dean Florez, D-Shafter, obtained an opinion from the legislative counsel's office that the governor cannot order Chiang to perform his job in a certain way.
It's a game of legal who-will-blink-first? chicken, but then the whole budget battle falls into that category.
