Q: Why is the output of this programm garbage? I am wondering why the output is garbage? And how can I solve this problem?
#include<stdio.h>

char *Func(void);
int main()
{
    char *string1;

    string1 = Func();
    puts(string1);

    return 0;
}

char *Func(void)
{
    char string2[10]="medo";
    return string2;
}

A: Because string2 is only valid in the scope of Func.
An array decays into a pointer when assigning it to a pointer, passing it to a function or when used with return in a function returning a pointer.
An array decaying into a pointer means that it is converted to a pointer and the pointer points to the first element of the array.
With an array like this:
int arr[] = { 1, 2, 3 };

These are equivalent:
int *p1 = arr;
int *p2 = &arr[0];

The problem with Func is that it is returning a pointer that points to a memory location that is only valid while Func is running. Once Func returns, it is no longer valid and the program flow might replace these values immediately.
In your main function you pass this pointer to printf and because the location where string1 is pointing to isn't valid in main (it was only valid in Func), you get garbage. Actually that is undefined behaviour, and medo could have been printed as well.
How to fix it: declare an array in main, pass it to Func, let Func use the
passed array and return:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>

Func(char* string2);
int main()
{
    char string1[20];

    Func(string1);
    puts(string1);

    return 0;
}

void Func(char *string2)
{
    strcpy(string2, "medo");
}

A: Because the lifetime of the string has already ended by the time you print it.
Local variables, such as string2 in Func, are often stored in the stack, which is a very dynamic structure that changes every time a function is called or returned. (The actual behavior of the program stack is a bit too complex to elaborate here, but keep in mind that stuff in the stack doesn't survive the function that puts it there.)
By the time the function returns, string2 is no longer necessary, and thus it might be overwritten with garbage data. Nevertheless, Func returns a pointer to string2 (remember that the name of an array is a pointer to its contents) — thus returning a pointer to the stack-allocated string that is being overwritten with garbage data. Printing the data referenced by this pointer (in main, via string1) just prints that garbage.
There are two ways of solving this issue. One is to let the caller handle memory allocation, and pass the allocated area to the callee, like so:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

void Func(char *);

int main (void) {
  char string[10];
  Func(string);
  puts(string);
  return 0;
}

void Func (char * string) {
  strcpy(string, "test");
}

...and another way is to let the callee handle the allocation, but remembering that the caller must free it, like so:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

char * Func(void);

int main (void) {
  char * string = Func();
  puts(string);
  free(string);
  return 0;
}

char * Func (void) {
  char * string = malloc(10);
  strcpy(string, "test");
  return string;
}

Either way would solve your issue, and which one you choose is a matter of design.

Mort Kondracke is an old friend, and so is James Glassman. Mort was once a senior editor at TNR; Jim was once its publisher. Sterling journalists and honest people. They've moved a bit (too far) right for my tastes since they worked here. But I read what they write and I listen to what they say. So do many other folk.
And Glassman has been the "public diplomacy" person at the Department of State for maybe half a year. He was no one's tool. Moreover, he was not at all Karen Hughes' successor. She was...well, over her head. Let's leave it at that.
I don't want to take a job away from a deserving Democrat. But Glassman is an ideal successor to himself. He is not an ideologue.
But he is a man of ideas, of democratic ideas. And he believes still in the power of the America message. No one in our politics dislikes him. That's not because he's soft. It's because he is straightforward and honest. He doesn't laugh at people with whom he disagrees.
Keep Gates! I support Mort's suggestion: Keep Glassman, too.


If you've heard the soundtrack that plays companion to the movie, you know how really great it is. For those of you that don't, I must state that it's probably one of my favourite CD's (perfect to listen to while writing). Unfortunately, there were some problems with the record label, and because of this, it's only available in Germany (lovely country!). For those of us that don't live in Germany, we can buy it online at places like Amazon.com, which is where I got my copy.
Where do winged horses fly?
That's it! The rest is all beautiful background music.


1. "I am ignoring you, Human, and going to my mental happy place until this treachery is finished."
2. "WHAT. IS. HAPPENING. TO. MY. BEAUTIFUL. FUR."
3. "0/10, would not bathe again."
4. "OK, Human, that was a conniving trick you pulled ... "
5. "You have dipped me in water. I don't get it. I don't like it."
6. "My god, you aren't going to actually use SOAP, are you?"
7. "Hey, so ... how about we DON'T bathe me and say we DID?"
8. "You have stripped me of my magical cat spit powers, you swine."
9. "What, is this measly TOWEL supposed to make me feel better after what you just did?"
10. "I utterly hated that bath, Human. But I kind of like my new cloak."


This week, we're featuring one of our favorite summer dresses, the Sydney Dress. We wanted to design a piece that was both professional and fun for summer. We started with a vintage tribal print that we both fell in love with and decided to print it in Italy on our favorite wrinkle-free ponte.
The Sydney is one of those great dresses that you can pair with a stiletto sandal, a Birkenstock or even just a flip flop by the pool. And instead of flimsy, gauzy fabrics that show every lump and bump or make you look bigger than you are, the Sydney has a slim but comfortable shape and is made of an ultra-flattering and very high-end fabric. Per usual, fit and fabric are everything to us.
Let us know if you have any questions about the Sydney, or any of our dresses. At $178, it might be more of an investment than an imported jersey maxidress, but we think it's a piece you'll reach for again and again, and use for summers to come. Jess just wore it to a Memorial Day barbecue and said she felt like she was wearing pajamas but still felt totally put together and chic.

1. A Groupon sales rep talks a merchant into a Groupon deal. This could be a toy store or a cafe, or a service like house cleaning or educational courses.
2. A typical deal is to give customers a coupon for 50% discount (sometimes more!). A customer pays say $20 to Groupon to receive a coupon and later can use the coupon at merchant to purchase up to $40 of goods or services.
3. Groupon typically takes 50% from the coupon sales and pays 50% to the merchant. This means that the merchant is paid $10 for something that they would typically receive $40 for.
4. Coupons are valid for a limited but prolonged time, like 6-12 months. The 50% off the coupon sales are paid to the merchant using the following schedule: 1/3 of the amount in 5 days, another 1/3 within 30 days, and the remaining 1/3 within 60 days. So this scheme may look like a loan to a business: Groupon gives a business money now to serve a bunch of customers for a year.
5. There is no way to exchange a coupon for money, and if a coupon is not used, the customer doesn't receive her money back.
The benefits of this deal to the customers are obvious – they enjoys huge discounts. What about the merchants? The promise is that it's a great marketing: you have an effective way to issue coupons and bring new customers, growing your business. Well, a lot of things may go wrong.
1. Many of the customers who walk in the door are your existing customers. It is a terrible idea to give a 50% discount to your customers (unless you are into fake pricing) alone, but you don't even get to receive the remaining 50% – you receive only 25% after Groupon takes its share. There are evidences where total up to 90% of Groupon visitors were existing customers of the merchant.
2. Many of the customers don't spend more than their coupon's value is. Consider this: a guy buys a $20 coupon for $10, goes to a shop with the coupon to grab something for $10 and receive $10 in change. So, the merchant just gave away a product priced at $10, also gave away very real $10 – all this for a $5 received from Groupon. If it sounds like the merchant was screwed, it's so because it just was.
3. A lot of customers demonstrate abusive behavior, like they tip off discounted check or don't tip at all, they try to repeatedly use the same coupon several times, and they threat to write derogatory reviews on Yelp if anything is not to their liking.
No wonder some merchants find that a Groupon deal brings them a loss of $10,000 or more.

UN Women and the governments of Iceland and Norway. The Gender, Children and Social Welfare Ministry launched the NAP. The NAP includes priority actions to be implemented by state institutions, civil society and cooperation partners in the context of women's participation in conflict management and resolution, assistance for displaced and refugee women, the prevention of violence and sexual abuse, and post-conflict reconstruction. By including an overall allocated budget and breaking down the budget by priority section, the Mozambique government and other entities acknowledge the importance of resources in implementation.
Mozambique gained its Independence from Portugal in 1975, after ten years of liberation efforts. Women played an important role in these efforts as they took on various tasks to achieve independence for Mozambique. After sixteen years of a destabilisation war, which ended in 1992 with the General Peace Accord in Rome, Italy, the negative social and economic impacts remained. Women have participated in the promoting of peace by assisting war victims during the armed conflict.
The NAP keeps women and girl's human rights in conflict and post-conflict at the forefront of their focus. As a nation, Mozambique aims to integrate a gender perspective in all actions and strategies on conflict prevention and management, expand efforts for the security, physical and mental health dignity of women and girls and secure the rights of women and girls in conflict and post-conflict situations. Lastly, disarmament is not included besides a brief definition of disarmament.
WILPF was not involved in the development of this National Action Plan.
There is no mention of civil society forming part of the creation of the NAP.
Civil society will have access to the indicators of the NAP for the implementation and will submit and analytical report every year. They will also participate in the joint annual meeting.
Civil society is also responsible for monitoring the NAP and will require access to the indicators to do so. This access is important because civil society are equally as responsible as the government for monitoring the NAP. Based on annual reports from civil society and governmental bodies, there will be a final report with both perspectives included. This will turn into one final report through a Monitoring and Evaluation Committee.
The NAP was launched by the Gender, Children and Social Welfare Ministry in partnership with UNWomen and the Governments of Iceland and Norway and was created along with the 2015-2019 five-year Government Programme that aims to improve the well-being of Mozambicans, consolidate national unity, peace and sovereignty.
Multiple Government bodies are responsible for the implementation of the NAP such as the Gender, Children and Social Welfare Ministry, and Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Ministry of Interior, among others.
A final report will be created based on input from civil society and governmental bodies. Both perspectives will be taken into account as they will present their individual reports which will be merged into one final report, through a Monitoring and Evaluation Committee.
Reinforcing the fight against all forms of violence against women and girls in armed and non-armed conflict contexts.
Ratifying, domesticating and implementing legislation on women, peace and security.
The implementation period for the Mozambican National Plan of Action is five years (2018-2022).
Number of UNSC resolutions and other legislation on women, peace and security ratified and implemented in the country.
The NAP has an allocated budget with a total of 116, 835, 00 MZM. Each priority section of the NAP has an allocated budget as well as the entities responsible for the action.
The monitoring and evaluation framework incorporates an annual report based on the indicators outlined. This was was developed after careful consultations with civil society, non-governmental and governmental actors. Monitoring will be done from the perspectives of civil society and government bodies, through a Monitoring and Evaluation Committee. The committee should present two annual reports, one from civil society and one from governmental bodies, and hold two alignment and extraordinary semi-annual meetings. The final report will include both perspectives.
Mozambique's NAP does not discuss disarmament issues.


You can see the actual percentages for Census years 2011 and 2016 on our main Census Postcode page. This post shows how the Baby Boomer population is rapidly changing in the face of overall massive increases in the entire population.
In NSW and the ACT, very few postcode areas show any increase in Boomer numbers when expressed as a percentage of overall population. The red areas in the ACT most likely the result of newly opened retirement village developments. The same applies for the area around Iluka on the north coast.
For the Sydney area, Boomers have been either dying off very rapidly – smoking was very common when they were younger – or are simply being swamped by the huge growth in immigration rates. For the area shown below, the total population has increased by 17.6% since the 2006 Census. Breaking that down further, population in the area shown increased 6.7% between 2006 and 2011, and almost doubled again between 2011 and 2016 by a further 414,515 people. That translates to an additional 227 people per day, over and above those lost to mortality. All need a place to live, with an average number of persons per dwelling of 3 (Census 2016 postcode data) in this area, that means an additional 75 homes must be completed for new occupation every single day. More resources consumed, more waste generated. Surely this cannot be sustained, but with most politicians meekly adhering to "growth" as a substitute for reason, Australia's once livable major centres seem destined to slavishly follow so much of the rest of the world into overcrowding and all that accompanies it.
Tasmania hasn't seen the same unsustainable rate of immigration and so this picture shows a more reasonable "background" Boomer percent pattern, still declining as we'd expect of any ageing cohort, but at significantly lower rates owing to relatively subdued rate of migrant resettlement there.

Thomas Malthus penned his terrifying vision for the future of mankind more than two centuries ago, but it still haunts us today. He believed that we could never overcome two basic laws of nature – man's ability to procreate would always outstrip our planet's ability to feed everybody. His view is one of perpetual poverty and misery, of a society that could never alleviate man's suffering. (He must have been a ton of laughs at a party.) It's a compelling argument, and to a certain extent, Malthus has proven prescient. There are 925 million people who go hungry every day, despite the amazing economic prosperity we've enjoyed over the past 60 years. And twice in the past three years we've suffered through destabilizing spikes in the cost of food that have trapped tens of millions in poverty. Today, prices are nearly at historic highs.
So was Malthus right? That's the subject of my latest story in TIME magazine. The answer: He might be, if we don't get our act together.
The reason we've avoided a Malthusian nightmare over the past two centuries is that we've been able to outsmart nature. Malthus misjudged man's ability to develop the necessary technologies to use the land, water and other limited resources of our planet more efficiently. Food production has more or less kept up with population growth. Yes, hundreds of millions are malnourished, but that's not because the planet can't produce enough for everyone. It's because the food we do produce either gets wasted, or doesn't get to the people who need it. The problem of hunger is made by man, not Mother Nature.
So are the roots of our current food crisis. As demand for food has continually increased, not just due to population growth, but also to expanding wealth, the productivity of our farms has waned. Annual yield growth has fallen precipitously from the gains we achieved during the 1950s and 1960s. .You'd think just the opposite would be true – in a world in which technology is advancing by the second, it would make sense to think the same is happening in agriculture. But the reality is that we've taken our hand off the plough – policymakers simply haven't devoted the funds to agriculture that are needed to make our farms more productive. We haven't been investing enough in R&D to achieve important technologically breakthroughs or in rural infrastructure (irrigation systems, roads, storage facilities) to help farmers grow more food and get it to the consumer more easily. Nor have we been utilizing the technology that is already out there to improve yields.
We're seriously paying for the neglect of the world's farms. Reserves of grain have been on the decline (relative to demand) – which means our food safety net has shrunk. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, we consumed more grain than we produced in the 2010/11 marketing season. Even if prices come off their current high, food is still expected to cost significantly more over the next decade than the previous one. And as our population continues to expand, while our land and water resources do not, the strain on food markets is only going to get worse. Yes, this all sounds scary. I'm not predicting a Malthusian crisis, or widespread food shortages and famines. But making sure we have enough food – and not just enough, but at levels where prices come down to the point where poor people can afford proper diets – is really one of the biggest issues facing the global community.
What's the solution? A contemporary of Malthus – Adam Smith – might have the answer. Smith believed that free markets solve problems. Scarcity implies profits, and profits attract investment and spur innovation. There are already signs that farmers, responding to high prices, are planting more crops, as U.S. corn farmers have done this year. The answer to the food crisis might well be making markets work better – improving the physical infrastructure in rural areas so farmers can get their produce to cities; increasing the level of information about global food availability; breaking down regulatory hurdles that impede the introduction of new technologies. The only way to solve our food problem is to make sure more money, technology and resources get directed at agriculture in ways that improve production and efficiency.
We're really not close to where we need to be at this point. The FAO says that investment in agriculture in the developing world has to increase about 50% from current levels if we're going to meet the needs of an expanding population. If we don't pay more attention to our farmers, Malthus might come back to haunt us.

Defying hierarchy, bishop urges change
Sex abuse stand inspires liberals
Email|Print|Single Page| Text size – + By Michael Paulson
Globe Staff / May 31, 2008
DEDHAM - He is an unlikely hero for the Catholic left: a retired Australian bishop who served for years as an aide to the very conservative cardinal-archbishop of Sydney.
But now Bishop Geoffrey Robinson is under investigation by the Australian bishops conference, and multiple American bishops are trying to ban him from their dioceses after he published a book suggesting the Catholic Church examine the roles that power and sex played in the clergy abuse crisis.
The Catholic left - whose weakened influence was captured in a Time magazine essay this month headlined "Is liberal Catholicism dead?" - has rallied to this little-known bishop, packing his speaking appearances and driving up sales of his book.
On Thursday night, Robinson drew a crowd of about 550 to St. Susanna Church in Dedham, which he said was the largest audience he has drawn on a US speaking tour that began earlier this month. On Wednesday night, 110 showed up to hear him speak at the Paulist Center in Boston.
"If we are ever to look to the future with a clear conscience there must first be profound change within the church," Robinson told a rapt audience in Dedham at the start of a 60-minute talk, in which he questioned the extent of papal infallibility and the rationale for mandatory priestly celibacy. Perhaps most daringly, given the adulation directed toward Pope John Paul II since his death, Robinson repeatedly criticized the late pontiff for not taking enough action against clergy sexual abuse.
To those who despair of change within the church, he said, "Communism changed. Apartheid changed. It just may be the church might, too."
Some people traveled to Dedham from New Hampshire three hours early to make sure they could get a seat, and the event had to be moved from the basement to the church nave to accommodate the crowd. Every copy of Robinson's book sold out.
"The fact that this event attracted many hundreds of Catholics, large numbers of whom traveled many miles to attend, indicates to me that there is still significant dissatisfaction among the laity with the church's response to the sex and cover-up crisis to date," said Deacon Larry Bloom of the Dedham parish.
Robinson is one of the first bishops since the abuse crisis to break ranks publicly and call for a discussion of the most sensitive issues in the Catholic Church. And the hierarchy responded swiftly. The Australian Bishops Conference issued a statement declaring "doctrinal difficulties" with Robinson, in particular what it described as his "questioning of the authority of the Catholic Church to teach the truth definitively." A top Vatican official and several American bishops asked him to cancel his trip to this country.
"Canon 763 makes it clear that the Diocesan Bishop must safeguard the preaching of God's Word and the teachings of the church in his own Diocese," Cardinal Roger M. Mahony, the archbishop of Los Angeles, wrote in a letter to Robinson. "Under the provisions of Canon 763, I hereby deny you permission to speak in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles."
But where Robinson was denied Catholic venues, he found others.
On Long Island in New York, he spoke at a Unitarian Universalist parish, which waived its rental fee because, he said, the congregation viewed the bishop and his audience as "an oppressed minority." In New Jersey he spoke at a Lutheran church; in southern California he is speaking at a university, a community center, and a hotel.
In New England, the bishops have been quieter. Robinson spoke at Fairfield University, a Catholic college in southern Connecticut, as well as at St. Susanna Church and the Paulist Center. Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley has declined several requests for comment.
At the same time, Voice of the Faithful, the reform organization founded in Wellesley, last week gave Robinson its top honor as a "priest of integrity."
And Liturgical Press, the Catholic publishing house that is printing Robinson's book, "Confronting Power and Sex in the Catholic Church," said it sold out its first run, of 3,000 copies, and is rushing a second run into print.
"What's significant here is that you've got a bishop who, once retired, decided he'd speak his own mind for a change - that rather than being part of the orchestra, he decided he wanted to do a solo," said the Rev. Thomas J. Reese, a senior fellow at the Woodstock Theological Center at Georgetown University. "It's clear there's a real thirst among the laity and some priests for a more open discussion of issues in the church, and this is the kind of thing he's trying to stimulate. But it's not the kind of thing the Vatican or the majority of bishops want to see happen."
The sympathetic crowds coming to hear Robinson are clearly heartened by his outspokenness. In Dedham, he was given two standing ovations.
"He understands that the crux of the Roman Catholic problem lies squarely with the Stalinist-style power structure of the institutional church," said Peter Hartzel, a parishioner who lives in Dedham. "He honestly broached the 'hot' sexual issues with which the bureaucracy is unable to broach in a realistic manner."
Robinson, 70, has spent a considerable amount of time thinking about the abuse crisis and meeting with victims.
In 1994, he was named to a committee charged with coordinating the response of the Australian Catholic Church to clergy sexual abuse, and from 1997 until 2003 he was the committee cochairman. Robinson said he is also a victim of childhood sexual abuse, although not by a priest.
Of his work with victims he said, "It was an experience that changed me in so many ways that even if I wanted to I could not now go back to being the person that I was before."
Robinson said it is incumbent on Catholics to examine "institutional factors" that contributed to the abuse, as well as "the inadequate response to the abuse," which, he said, "created at least as much scandal as the abuse itself."
Robinson said that in an effort to prevent debate over mandatory celibacy, the Vatican had blamed gay priests for the abuse crisis.
"The scapegoat they found was priests whose sexual orientation was homosexual," he said. He called that argument "mistaken" and said, "Homosexuals are no more likely to offend than anybody else," and, "It's an avoidance of the truth in order to protect papal authority."
Robinson did not spell out solutions, but called for Catholics to use the moral force of the abuse issue to push for greater conversation about the church's teachings regarding power and sex.
"All church leaders have at the very least been through a profound humiliation and embarrassment over this issue," he said. "Deep within themselves they know that the popes have not given them the leadership they would have hoped for. However much they might pretend to the opposite, they also know that we still have a vast amount to do before we can look to the future with a clear conscience."
He praised Benedict XVI for his statements about abuse during his recent trip to the United States, but called on Benedict to make a public apology to victims from St. Peter's Basilica, surrounded by the cardinals.
And he called for the pope to commission a study of ways in which church teachings, including mandatory celibacy, may have contributed to the abuse, and for an investigation of institutional factors that contributed to the moving of abusive priests from one parish to another by bishops.
"He is living proof that bishops are not as united as they might be thought to be," said Paul Lakeland, a professor of Catholic Studies at Fairfield. "They try to paint him as a lone dissenter, a good man who has gone slightly off the rails, but I think there are lots of other bishops quietly cheering him on from the sidelines."

Housing Construction Drops Off in June
Housing starts slumped in June as a large drop in multi-family construction overshadowed a modest decline in single-family construction according to the latest data released by the Census Bureau.
The large jump in new construction for multi-family dwellings in May was wiped out by the near 27 percent drop in June. Building permits for multi-family housing also suffered a large decline.
Housing Starts:
Privately owned housing starts fell by 9.9 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 836,000 in June down from a revised estimate of 928,000 in May. Housing starts were still 10.4 percent higher than in June 2012 which had an estimated 757,000 seasonally adjusted annual starts.
Single-family housing starts in June were off slightly from May with starts at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 591,000, down a modest 0.8 percent from a revised estimate of 596,000 starts in May but were still 11.5 percent higher than in June of last year when an estimated 530,000 starts were reported.
Housing starts for multi-family dwellings fell by 26.7 percent from a revised rate of 322,000 starts in May to a seasonally adjusted rate of 236,000 starts in June. Housing starts for multi-family dwellings were 7.8 percent higher than a year ago when an estimated 219,000 starts were recorded.
On an unadjusted basis, housing starts decreased by 8.7 percent falling from 88,100 starts in May to 80,400 starts in June.
Regionally, monthly housing starts declined in all four regions with the Northeast posting the largest decline of 12.1 percent closely followed by the South with a 12.0 percent decline. The Midwest posted a decline of 7.4 percent while the West saw starts decline by 5.4 percent.

The West recorded the only annual decline of 9.9 percent.
Building Permits:
The number of building permits issued in June fell to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 911,000, down 7.5 percent from a revised estimate of 985,000 permits in May. Authorized building permits were 16.1 percent higher than the June 2012 estimate of 785,000.
Single-family building permit authorizations were 0.6 percent higher in June than May with 624,000 permits authorized in June compared to a revised 620,000 in May. Building permit authorizations for single-family homes were 24.6 percent higher than in June of last year which had an estimated 501,000 permits issued.
Multi-family dwelling permits declined for a second month in June, falling to 261,000 authorizations from a revised total of 338,000 in May, a decrease of 22.8 percent. Authorizations for multi-family dwellings were still 0.4 percent higher than in June of last year which had an estimated 260,000 authorizations.
Building permit authorizations declined in three of the four regions in June. In the South, authorizations fell by 11.2 percent followed by the West where authorizations declined by 7.2 percent while in the Midwest, permits declined by 4.6 percent. Only the Northeast posted an increase, rising by 5.9 percent.
Year-over-year, building permit authorizations increased in all four regions with the Northeast posting the largest increase of 32.1 percent, followed by the Midwest which posted a 19.7 percent increase and the South and the West saw gains of 13.3 and 12.6 percent, respectively.
Housing Completions:
The number of homes that were completed during the month increased by 6.3 percent from May to June with a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 755,000 completions reported in June compared to May's revised estimate of 710,000 completions. Housing completions were 20.2 percent higher than in June of last year when an estimated 628,000 annual completions were reported.
Single-family completions in June were at an annual rate of 554,000 units, which was 1.1 percent lower than May's revised rate of 560,000 and 15.4 percent above last year's rate of 480,000 units. Multi-family completions in June were at a rate of 188,000 units, 34.3 percent higher than the rate of 140,000 units completed in May and 43.5 percent higher than the 131,000 completions in June of last year.
On an unadjusted basis, housing completions in 2013 have so far been 21.8 percent higher than in 2012.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets review
July 21, 2017 Jeffrey Lyles	0 Comments	Cara Delevingne, Clive Owen, Dane DeHaan, Luc Besson, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
Summer 2017 has been filled with one pleasantly surprising blockbuster after another it almost felt like the good times weren't going to end until Labor Day. And then comes Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, the would-be sci-fi franchise starter that proves on multiple levels that looks aren't everything.
There's no doubt Luc Besson is a talented filmmaker. The man behind The Professional, The Transporter series and Taken knows how to make good movies. It's his pedigree that made Valerian so intriguing.
From a visual standpoint, Besson makes terrific use of the estimated $210 million budget. Valerian is a beautifully realized world with a terrific variety of settings. From a sun-drenched beach with crystal clear water to a murky river with giant fish or a virtual shopping district no two locations look remotely similar. The various aliens are imaginative and are well animated. On the aesthetic front, Valerian is one of the year's best looking films.
But then there's the not so small matter of a plot and the actors. By the 28th century, various species have united to a form Alpha, a constantly expanding hub of planets. Alpha's inhabitants share their knowledge and cultures.
To keep the peace on the human side, Special agents Valerian (Dane DeHaan) and Laureline (Cara Delevingne) are part of a unit tasked with maintaining peace in the human areas. On one such assignment, Valerian and Laureline start to unravel a mystery that could doom all of Alpha if they don't stop it in time. Clive Owen, Herbie Hancock, Ethan Hawke slum it up to make cameo appearances. To the film's credit, this is one of the rare 2017 films with Asian actors have significant screen time.
Besson's screenplay is probably the biggest misstep. The plot is overly complicated with even worse dialogue. Besson erroneously assumes everyone is familiar with the comic book series by Pierre Christin and Jean-Claude Mézières.
There's too many instances of quick information dumps where the audience isn't allowed time to process agendas and what's happening. Not that the film needed a true origin, but Besson shows the characters fully formed in hopes that the audience will get invested in them.
Besson also throws in some clumsy allegories to contemporary political times like the alien race with a wall stating no foreigners. Besson has enough trouble with the basic setup of the film to try and make some grand statement on politics.
The Valerian/Laureline romance seems completely disingenuous. DeHaan has a tough time making the awful dialogue work in these scenes. His chemistry with Delevingne is non-existent and even with the plot racing them together; DeHaan isn't able to sell any interest in his co-star or a heroic demeanor in general. It'd be one thing if DeHaan were going more for a poor man's Han Solo, but he fails to make the main character likable.
Delevingne has an undeniable presence. She carries herself with a cool girl 'over it' attitude and has 'the look.' She struggles whenever scenes call for her to display other emotions. Delevingne's line reading is also problematic and she too often inflects the wrong word.
The characters frequently behave in an idiotic manner for the sake of stretching the film along. In one scene, Valerian has to stop Laureline from being captured. Instead of shooting her captor and a handful of guards, he concocts an overblown plan to infiltrate the base with a chameleon only to end up in a shootout with far more guards.
Valerian also has a wildly inconsistent tone. Some scenes are written so goofily that they seem catered to younger viewers. Then there's bumbling Young Adult romance drama geared for teens. Then the next scene is decidedly more adult oriented with Rihanna in a prolonged strip routine in nurse, maid and dominatrix outfits.
It's not hard to appreciate the effort that went into creating this amazing spectacle. If only the same amount of attention and care was put toward the plot and the acting, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets could have been the start of a franchise.

Donald Torrey: Easthampton City Council better at spending than saving
Published: 12/27/2020 7:40:46 PM
Turning down tax revenue
I feel sad that the City council seems to have changed its once all-in attitude for making Easthampton the cannabis capital of western Massachusetts to one of indecision.
They recently voted to reject a $45 million cannabis growing center (I believe it was to be an FDA-approved facility) or medical-grade facility on Northampton Street at the former Tasty Top location.
In my opinion this facility would have been a perfect fit. High tax return with minimal traffic impact. Stop & Shop that was finally approved would have seen an influx of thousands of cars. There were to be 135 new jobs at this facility. Much of the high-quality cannabis would be shipped out of the city and nationwide with very little added traffic.
I emailed the city assessor trying to find out what the potential loss of tax revenue would be, but have not heard back, not even an acknowledgement that she received my email. Current property tax is $17.76 per $1,000 of valuation. If the facility were valued at $45 million, that would mean the tax revenue could be as high as $799,000, but I am not sure how the assessor determines the value.
The saddest part of the loss is it comes at a time when many businesses have closed due to the pandemic. The city, unlike the private sector, has seen little or no impact except cost savings in utilities and supplies. The mayor and City Council go about the people's business from remote locations. The council has even recommended a $9,000 raise for the mayor who has simply locked the schools and City Hall down.
I laugh when elected officials say we are all on this together. In reality they are not. They will have a steady income and even pay raises. No worries when it comes to paying their property tax or water/sewer/storm drain fees.
The City Council even voted to take care of landlords who have delinquent tenants by using surplus CPA funds collected from homeowners, many of them seniors, to go directly to the landlords. No thought was given to return the surplus to the property tax payers, that would help them keep their homes or even suspending the tax all together during these trying times.
I am told the City Council made the CPA tax in such a way that it can't be repealed except by them. They like to protect their revenue stream once they get the unsuspecting voter to vote for it through the lie that the state matches it 100%. The current state match is only 17.7%. Imagine it can't be put on the ballot any other way than by them. Doesn't sound like the American way.
It would be interesting to see a government that spent as much time at saving taxpayers' money as this group does at spending it.

Pragmatic Play Launches A Christmas Carol Megaways
Pragmatic Play has announced new slot called, A Christmas Carol Megaways. The developer took inspiration from Dicken's story and old curmudgeon, Ebenezer Scrooge, who was visited on Christmas by the ghost of his former business partner. Scrooge eventually turns into a nicer and more tolerant person.
More on the Game:
This is a high-volatility game, which means that it is made for experienced and patient players who should bet wisely to survive in the long run. However, the RTP of 96.48% is above the average which is pretty good. Players can bet between $0.2 and $100 per spin, and this is a better betting range than many other megaways games. The maximum potential win is pretty high and it stands at 20,000 the bet.
Media Comments:
Pragmatic Play's Vice President Lena Yasir said: "Christmas lights and Christmas trees are starting to go up in households all over the world and we can't wait for one of the most magical times of the year, so we're inviting you to join in with Christmas Carol Megaways. With a widely recognisable and a potentially lucrative Bonus Round, our Christmas hit will have players hoping the magic of the season never ends."
More on the Provider:
Pragmatic Play, the company formerly called Extreme Live Gaming, was founded in 2013 and the developer's products quickly spread to over 100 well-known gambling sites around the globe. An important part of their success was joining the Novomatic group a year later, as well as providing access to their portfolio through third-party operators such as Greentube.
The company provides more than 150 slots with different and innovative themes and all of them are backed up by HTML 5 technology. All the games from the provider are available on various platforms and different devices, which means that their games are adaptable for Android, iOS and Windows devices. The most popular titles are Hot Safari, Wild Sevens, Magic Crystals, The Catfather and Mighty Kong. Today they operate under licenses issued by the Malta Gambling Authority and the United Kingdom Gambling Commission.
A Christmas Carol Megaways


Lori Biddle: what day is it?
Like many of you I'm sure, I have to keep looking at the calendar to even know what day it is! I suspect that could mean we are all way too busy!
I have a very small space of calm this morning. It will disappear the minute my foot lands outside my door.
I plan to use it wisely.
You may be thinking - she's about to get all spiritual on us and describe in detail her Jesus meeting of the morning.
Although I plan to move to that next, I've basically been standing here eating Chex and thinking and staring - just trying to grab a little perspective on the day and the balance of the week.
Perspective is allusive. A loss of it throws everything out of balance and all becomes unobtainable.
There are some facts only known to me right now, regarding the Christmas services, our families' plans and many, many undeveloped ideas. The trick is to communicate my perspective on these areas so it can be moved to completion. Therein lies the dilemma. Ideas and dreams and plans are needed in order for anything to happen or change. But, communicating what only you see or know, that takes work.
This is the best explanation I can think of this morning regarding where my head is right now. Just trying to gain perspective, or at the very least - remember what day it is without looking at my phone.
Labels: busy, Chex, perspective, staring, what day is it?

Development Bank to address long-term funding and productive sectors of the economy.
DBG to address long term financing
in Business News, World
The Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, has clarified the operations of the yet to be created Development Bank of Ghana (DBG). According to him, this will not be a deposit taking institution to mobilize funds from individuals and business consumers but will rather be made to lend to institutions, providing support for key sectors of the economy, particularly agricultural and real estate.
Addressing the media at a short briefing in Accra following the recent loan agreement of 170 million euros between the government and the European Investment Bank, Mr. Ofori-Atta said DBG is a key pillar in the country's efforts to quickly recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and quickly resume its economic transformation path as articulated in the Ghana CARES/Obantanpa Programme.
Explaining further, the Finance minister said DBG is a key pillar in Ghana's efforts to quickly recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and quicly resume the country's economic transformation path as articulated in the Ghana CARES/Obantanpa Programme. The new bank is intended to be a model institution that supports the financial system to play its role in supporting the private sector to expand and create jobs. DBG will help address two important constraints in our financial system, namely the lack of long-term funding, and the lack of adequate funding to the productive sectors of the economy.
Currently less than 15% of loans given out by banks are for 5 years or longer, making investment in long gestation project very difficult for our private sector. Agriculture and manufacturing sector receive around 4% and 8% respectively of banks loans compared to their shares in GDP and employment and potential for driving economic transformation.
Primary Focus Areas of DBG will be:
Agribusiness, with a focus on off-farm value-chain activities
ICT, software, and allied services, including Business-Process Outsourcing, and Tourism
Boosting home ownership through affordable and longer tenure Mortgage Finance
DBG is not similar to the existing commercial banks that we have in the country. It is a non-deposit taking Wholesale bank. DBG will neither give retail nor direct business loans, like the former Bank for Housing and Construction, NIB, ADB, and the like. It will rather provide funds to the existing commercial banks and other qualifying financial institutions to provide long-term lending and other innovative products that are presently lacking in the system. The bank will therefore complement and strengthen the operations of existing financial institutions.
It is important to state that since independence, this is the first time we are establishing a bank of this nature. It is a model along the lines of the German Development Bank – KfW, which played a pivotal role in the post-World War II reconstruction and transformation of the German economy. Through DBG, Government will be able to further strengthen its support to the private sector to spearhead economic growth and transformation. DBG is an instrument to ensure long term finance to the private sector on a sustainable basis.
Government therefore expects DBG to be a financially sustainable institution that is able to raise long term funds from the domestic and international capital markets and from international financial institutions, based on its own balance sheet. To this end, Government is taking pains to ensure that DBG has a strong governance structure with professional and independent Board and Management. A process to select the Board and Management on a competitive basis is currently underway.

1. Prepare equipment for encasing.
2. Please study how to wear a casing by yourself before buying a casing.
3. According to encasing, a sheet of rubber (thickness 0.2 cm/2 mm) must be inserted between the amulet and the casing in order to fix the amulet with the casing. Therefore, before choosing the right casing you should follow these steps to prevent choosing a wrong size.
3.1. Put a real amulet on a paper and draw a shape.
3.2. Then measure a width and a length. **Remember that you have to add the size of a rubber sheet to your amulet and you will get the correct size for a casing.
Example: Your amulet is 2.4 wide and 3.5 long. Then you add 0.4 cm (2 sides) to the width of amulet and add 0.4 (2 sides) to the length of amulet.
So, the correct size for a casing is 2.8 x 3.9 cm.
See-Liam Shape (Square) is a unique of Phra Somdej and Phra Phong. We have 2 types of quality casings: with pattern and no pattern.
We present standard patterned stainless casing looking good in Thai style that is popular among young amulet collectors. We provide casings at a low price that customers can afford for their favorite amulets. There are 33 available items in different sizes.
We present standard simple stainless casing that is popular among general amulet collectors. We provide casings at a low price that customers can afford for their favorite amulets. There are 33 available items in different sizes.
If you have own design of casing and want to make it, feel free and email us at https://www.billionmore.com/spaw/luangpu@billionmore.com.

Q: Contour integration of cosine of a complex number I am trying to find the value of
$$ -\frac{1}{\pi}\int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2} \cos\left(be^{i\theta}\right) \mathrm{d}\theta,$$
where $b$ is a real number.
Any helps will be appreciated!

A: Let $F(b)$ denote your integral. Then by differentiating under the $\int$ sign,
$$ F'(b) = \frac1\pi \int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2}e^{i\theta}\sin(be^{i\theta}){\rm d}\theta $$
The integrand is the derivative of $(1-\cos(be^{i\theta}))/(ib)$ wrt. $\theta$ (that's understood to be $0$ if $b=0$), so that
$$ F'(b) = \frac{1}{\pi}\Big[\frac{1-\cos(be^{i\theta})}{ib}\Big]_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2} = 0 $$
because $\cos$ is even, which gives you $F(b) = F(0)=-1$.

A: Yet another elementary solution:
$$
-\frac{1}{\pi}\int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2} \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{(be^{i\theta})^{2n}}{(2n)!}d\theta = -\frac{1}{\pi}\sum_{n=0}^\infty \left[\frac{b^{2n}}{(2n)!}\int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2} e^{i2n\theta}d\theta\right] = -\frac{1}{\pi} \frac{b^0}{0!}\pi  + 0= -1.
$$

A: Using the Substitution $z=e^{i \theta}$ our intergral can be rewritten as
$$
-\pi I(b)=\frac{1}{i}\int_{SC_{-i\rightarrow i}}\frac{\cos(bz)}{z}dy
$$
$SC_{-i\rightarrow i}$ denotes the arc of a semicircle connecting $-i$ and $i$.
By Cauchy integral theorem we can conclude that
$$
-\pi I(b)=\frac{1}{i}P\int_{-i}^i\frac{\cos(by)}{y}dz
$$
By choosing the standardbranch of the Logartihm, the above integral can be shown to be $\pi $. Therfore we conclude that
$$
I(b)=\frac{1}{-\pi}\times\pi=-1
$$
Which is, independent of $b$, which is (at least for me) by no means obvious from the original integral.
This is result is confirmed by some numerical test in Mathematica.

A: Because cosine is an even function you may write the integral as
$$-\frac1{2 \pi} \int_{-\pi/2}^{3 \pi/2} d\theta \, \cos{\left ( b e^{i \theta} \right )} = -\frac{1}{i 2 \pi} \oint_{|z|=1} dz \frac{\cos{b z}}{z} $$
which, by the residue theorem or Cauchy's theorem, is
$$-\frac{1}{i 2 \pi} i 2 \pi \cos{0} = -1$$

A: $$\cos(be^{i\theta})=\cos(b\cos\theta+ib\sin\theta)=-\cos (b\cos \theta)\cosh(b\sin \theta)+i\sin(b\cos\theta)\sinh(b\sin \theta)$$ Thus your integral reduces to $$I=\frac{2}{\pi}\int_{0}^{\pi/2}\cos (b\cos \theta)\cosh(b\sin \theta)d\theta$$ I think you have to use  Bessel's function hereon to simplify this, though I am not quite sure.
