Lippi: 'I was an idiot to quit Italy'
Italy coach Marcello Lippi has admitted that he regretted quitting the job after the 2006 World Cup.
Lippi returned to his old position last month after replacing Roberto Donadoni, who left following Italy's quarter-final defeat to Spain at Euro 2008.
"I immediately regretted leaving the national side. So many times I said to myself 'what an imbecile I have been'," Lippi said ahead of Wednesday's friendly with Austria.
"This time round it is even more fantastic."
Lippi also admitted that players from the 2006 World Cup triumph would not be automatic choices.
"The world champions are not here because of who they are, even if I'll have feelings for them all my life. Those in the national squad are here because they deserve it," he said.

By Greg Aragon I love a scenic, Sunday drive. And when it includes things like snow, giant wind turbines and great food, then I know it's a winner. Such was the case this past weekend when a couple friends and I drove to the small town of Tehachapi, about 115 miles north of Los Angeles….


With over 10 years experience working with small products and jewellery, I use the latest Phase One camera system. Advanced focus stacking allows any product to appear completely in focus. Small product photography requires a specialist knowledge and experience of Macro photography to ensure a perfect level of detail. Microscopic detail including surface texture and hallmarks can be captured and accurately presented within photography, servicing all industries—suitable for both websites and print.
Unlike many other jewellery photographers, I create realistic high resolution jewellery photos in full focus. This includes composition photographs with branding, props etc. within the photograph. For product and commission photographs, I retain natural shadow—without adding unrealistic unnatural reflections seen in most jewellery photography.
I specialise in small item photography including white background shots, multiple views and branded lifestyle shots. Please contact me for more information on services available.
Many e-commerce applications require white background photography. My photography service includes accurate removal of white backgrounds. Retained shadows and reflections will give your final image a more natural composition accurately colour balanced as part of our editing process.
My photographic service is operated from within commercial premises and includes insurance for all items within our care. All items of value are returned to clients fully insured using Royal Mail Special Delivery. Since most of my work involves jewellery, I have an expert working knowledge of the jewellery industry and many years experience photographing high value items.
My work involves creating full focus high resolution photography. Each photograph taken is colour balanced, fully focused and edited to remove unsightly dust, marks and lighting is adjusted to create a bright. Product images are painstakingly edited to retain all detail whilst removing background to leave a beautiful product image on a white background ready to be added to your website.


The Archie-Brown Springboard Awards help outstanding African American youth get to their next level of personal development. Each year, with the assistance of family and community members in Oakland, California and Winston-Salem, North Carolina, we select two awardees to receive cash or sponsorships. Past award recipients have enrolled in photography classes, attended tennis camp, traveled and conducted research, and bought art supplies and computer hardware. Read more about our awardees here.
The fund is inspired by our family father and grandfather, Charles G. Archie.
My name is Cedric Brown. I was born and raised in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and now live in Oakland, California. For almost 25 years I've been a community investor, educator, and artist.
This award was inspired by a conversation with my grandfather, Charles G. Archie, when I was a college freshman. He wondered aloud what he might have become had he been able to attend college instead of working in a tobacco factory after he graduated from a segregated high school back in 1932. He was a loving and respected father of nine and grandfather of 33. We use his high school photo as a logo to salute his hard work, great integrity, and the need for potential to be realized.
My family's hope is that – as its name indicates – the Springboard Award will propel the recipients to greater achievements and fulfillment of their promise.
Join us in helping talented youth get to their next level!

31-28 win over UTEP keeps TU in hunt for division championship
The University of Tulsa Golden Hurricane kept hopes alive for the Conference USA West Division championship, holding on to defeat the UTEP Miners 31-28 Saturday afternoon before 16,547 fans at H.A. Chapman Stadium. The win improved TU to 8-3 overall and 5-2 in C-USA play, keeping them on pace with SMU (6-5, 5-2) at the top of the West Division standings. The win was their fifth straight dating back to a 52-24 win over Tulane on October 16.
Damaris Johnson became the NCAA's all-time leader in kickoff return yardage as he finished the game with 280 all-purpose yards. His 62-yard kickoff return in the third quarter set up the Hurricane for what proved to be the game-winning touchdown run by Alex Singleton.
It took Tulsa a little longer than usual to put points on the board. After UTEP found the endzone on a 28-yard run by Joe Banyard with 2:44 left in the first, Tulsa finally struck with 0:07 when G.J. Kinne found WIllie Carter on the right side of the endzone for a 19-yard score. The touchdown capped an eight play, 53-yard drive that took 2:33 of time off the clock.
UTEP answered the Hurricane score quickly when Banyard went 66-yards for his second rushing score just 46-seconds later to put the Miners on top 14-7. Tulsa responded mid-way through the second quarter to tie the game on a 6-yard touchdown run by Johnson, only to see UTEP's Marlon McClure return the ensuing kickoff 73-yards to give the Miners a 21-14 lead. Kinne managed to square things up before half time, as he led the Hurricane offense down field 63-yards in seven plays, completing a 12-yard touchdown pass to Charles Clay with just 33-seconds left in the second.
Tulsa took the lead for the first time in the third quarter when Kevin Fitzpatrick booted a 23-yard field goal to capitalize a 13-play, 69-yard drive to open the third quarter. Banyard's five-yard touchdown run less than five minutes later gave the Miners a 28-24 lead with 5:20 remaining in the third before Singleton's score put Tulsa ahead for good. On second and goal from the one yard-line, Singleton took the hand-off from Kinne and ran through a gap on the left side of the line and into the endzone to give Tulsa the three-point lead.
The Hurricane defense came up big when it mattered most, holding UTEP scoreless in the fourth quarter. Tulsa forced two punts in the final stanza, before turning the ball over on downs to UTEP at the Miners' 30 yard-line. UTEP then mounted a six-play, 34-yard drive before Dexter McCoil hauled in an interception at Tulsa's 43 yard-line with 1:40 remaining. The offense managed to gain a first down which enabled them to run out the clock and secure the win.
"Good teams, even when they don't play well, find a way to win," said TU Head Coach Todd Graham. "It was one of those days for us."
Tulsa now looks ahead to Friday's home finale against Southern Miss while they look to get a little help from a familiar foe. SMU, who handed the Hurricane their most recent loss, holds the tie breaker in the division title race, so in order for the Hurricane to move into the C-USA title game they must win Friday and see East Carolina defeat SMU in Greenville, North Carolina. East Carolina defeated Tulsa in the season opener on a hail-Mary pass with no time remaining, but on Friday the Hurricane faithful will be cheering for the purple-clad Pirates to give them a helping hand.
SMU and East Carolina will kick-off at 1 p.m. on CBS College Sports, while the Hurricane and Golden Eagles contest will follow on the same network at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are still available for Friday's game and may be purchased at tulsahurricane.com or by calling 918-631-GOTU (4688).

The Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service has revealed that they are unable to have the CEO of the defunct Menzgold Company Limited, Nana Appiah Mensah, also known as NAM1, extradited to Ghana even though he is on bail.
The extradition cannot be done until the completion of his trial in the United Arab Emirates.
The embattled CEO of the gold dealership firm is being held for a misdemeanour charge over a US$23-million deal gone bad.
"On the 4th of March, NAM1 was granted bail and there were some conditions for his bail. On 25th of March, he was able to execute the bail and his lawyers obtained the letter for his release. Due to the red alert notice on him, he was rearrested on the instructions of Interpol. The Dubai police have gone ahead to obtain a local warrant of arrest based on the Interpol red notice. He is currently in the custody at a Dubai Police station and that case, even though he is on bail, hasn't ended; they will continue to produce him before the court until that case is over before he is handed over to Ghana. We are in touch with the Dubai Police and everything is on course," CID Director-General DCOP Maame Tiwaa Addo Danquah, said at a press conference on Tuesday, 2 April 2019.
Thousands of customers of the defunct company are demanding the arrest and prosecution of NAM1 for his failure to pay their locked-up investments.
The customers have embarked on a series of protests and demanded to be part of the committee set up to oversee the liquidation of assets belonging to the company and NAM1.
The customers have also called on the government to publish in the media, all the assets of NAM1 and the company which the state has so far confiscated to defray the debt owed its customers.
According to the disgruntled customers, their intelligence suggests that the committee may not be truthful with the sale of the property.
The customers said these when they picketed the premises of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) and the Attorney General's office today, Tuesday, 2 April 2019 over what they describe as government's feet-dragging attitude towards their plight.
The customers said the picketing is part of the measures they have at their disposal to pile pressure on the government and state agencies to help them retrieve their locked-up funds.

Triple rolls, have a "T" in the number and are 90 square feet.
Because each strip of paper has a match, there is some loss in repeat.
We estimate most patterns will match at 50 square feet per double roll.
EXAMPLE: If you have 100 square feet of wall, you will need 2 double rolls. Measure ceiling height and width of wall to find the dimensions. An 8" ceiling X 10" wide wall + 80 square feet. Some papers have a very small repeat, those will have almost the full 60 square feet.


The Knights of Castle Kimbark: Is the Internet Killing "Real" Chess?
From the northern suburbs of New York City, the epicenter of American chess, comes a cri de coeur from veteran tournament player Polly Wright, who laments the decline of two local chess clubs in her area. According to Polly, the culprit is the Internet, which has made it so easy to play online that fewer people are venturing out to chess clubs.
It's not the first time the Internet has been linked to the downfall of over-the-board (OTB) chess. Glenn Panner sees the trend here in the Chicago area, Jack Le Moine raised the issue in a forum on Susan Polgar's blog, and someone named The Parrot claimed as long ago as 2004 that the Net had killed adult OTB chess. Two summers ago I chatted with some of the regulars at the North Avenue Chess Pavilion about this. These were players who had been going there for years, and some of them were convinced that the Internet was hurting attendance at the popular lakefront chess venue.
I too have mixed feelings. The Internet is a great boon to chess. It enables anyone with online access to play anytime of the day or night, something that would have been impossible in the past. I play at several Web sites, and I enjoy it.
Yet as seems to happen with so many technologies that improve our lives in certain respects, the Internet also "bites back," as it were, triggering unintended adverse consequences that make things worse in other respects. The problem isn't limited to chess: We humans are simply better at developing new technologies than we are at controlling those technologies and making sure they serve our conscious and considered human needs. No one wants the Internet to hurt traditional chess, yet it may be doing just that, and our prospects for reversing the trend don't look good at the moment.
What do you think? Feel free to leave comments below.
Postscript I. I haven't been following the World Youth Chess Championships in Turkey, where a number of American kids are competing and holding their own. Fortunately, Chessdad64 is covering it, so I don't have to.
Postscript II: The whole world is watching as Garry Kasparov remains in custody in Moscow. In an unusual twist that has his wife and mother extremely worried, his jailers have not allowed anyone to visit him.
To paraphrase Tom Lehrer: Garry's family gets worried, I get worried. See our previous post about how to contact the Russian consulate in New York to lodge a protest. The Other Russia and Mig Greengard's blog seem to be the places to go for updates.
My comment toward those anti-Internet proponents may be a bit rough, but here it goes: "DEAL WITH IT!"
Seriously though, there are so many who complain about technology hurting business. I just pre-ordered an ebook reader called the Amazon Kindle (I wrote a bit on my blog about it) and some of the commenters on Amazon's review site is astonishing. One reader said that he loved the feel, texture, and the smell of books and hates the idea of ebooks. Smell? Really?
Remember when we all lamented email? "Oh no. I like sending/receiving REAL mail, seeing REAL ink, etc." Now look at all of us. The same can be said for many other advances.
So I go back to my first statement: "DEAL WITH IT!" If chess clubs want to stay in business, invest in technology for your club. Have an Internet cafe of sorts in your club, 5-10 or more computers that are networked, and allow people to play that way. Charge for the convenience to get back some of the cost. Invest in electronic move recorders. Get a website for your club. Take video and put it on Youtube or other services. Invest in a projector and put some puzzles on the screen to be solved.
I guess my point is that businesses must keep current. We can't use the same structure that worked 10, 20, or even 50 years ago, especially for chess. The Internet and tech in general isn't going anywhere, and businesses must either adapt, or die.


Have you ever wondered how bakeries make those perfect pretty swirls on top of their cupcakes? Or how the swirls look so unique and different from each other? Well we've baked up a big batch of cupcakes and set out to find our favorite swirls. See our picks for our favorite pastry tips below!
We found that the large open star tip makes the classic cupcake swirl. It almost looks like the top to an ice cream cone! If you're feeling adventurous, the smaller open star tips can be used to create delicate star and shell borders on cakes and confections.
This is a great tip to use for a smooth and elegant swirl. We also use an open round tip for border dots and decorations.
This fun tip makes a flowery and whimsical swirl on top of a cupcake, almost like a flower petal. The smaller tips are used to make different flowers borders and intricate blooms on cakes.
This tip has more tines than the open star tip, and the tines arch in towards the center. It creates a more sophisticated swirl with deeper, exaggerated grooves and ridges. The smaller tips can be used for intricate rosette borders.
Now that you know which pastry tips to use, here are some more tips on making that perfect swirl!
The "Classic Cupcake Swirl" starts with a nice steady even pressure. Pipe from 12 o'clock all the way around to 11 o'clock before you go up a tier and pipe again all the way around. After a few turns you'll create a tiered tower of frosting. Pull up once you reach the top for that pretty finishing touch. The bigger the tip, the easier it is for a beginner.
While cream cheese icings are easy and delicious, they are not great for piping. We preferred a basic butter cream.
Be sure to completely cool your cupcakes before frosting. If not, the residual heat will melt the frosting.
Pick out some cute cupcake liners to bake the cupcakes in. They add that little something extra.
We like to use gel food coloring in the frosting for the most vibrant colors. Luckily, they're available in most groceries stores.
You'll need a piping bag. You can either buy them at your craft store or you can use a large plastic zip top bag if in a pinch by cutting a small hole in the corner of the bag.
To fill the pastry bag, place your tip inside the pastry bag and drop through to the opening and secure. Place the pastry bag inside a tall glass to hold it steady. Fold down the bag over the glass then spoon in your frosting. Unfold the bag and twist the top and press the frosting firmly down to the tip. This ensures that no air bubbles will be trapped and ruin your swirl.
Now get going and start frostings! Decorating is so much fun that eating the sweet treats is just icing on the cupcake.
So tell us, which swirl is your favorite?


If you are trying to have more effective team communications, you are probably looking at products or services that go by names like "social CRMs" or "team engagement tracking apps." Regardless of what they are called, these apps can connect to a variety of social networks and email accounts and make it easier to manage your communications, track what your team has posted, understand what other team members are working on and improve workflows and productivity by avoiding interruptions or massive amounts of email.
I tried out two of these tools, Peak (shown above) and Tibbr. Both are browser-based: Tibbr also has mobile and desktop clients. You can read my review in Computerworld here.

How 5G Technology Will Reshape Key Industries: Use Cases and Business Advantages
May 08, 2019 | Telecom | Infopulse
Consumers are driving the demand for a better mobile broadband experience. However, it is the business who really commands the real use cases for 5G. In 2020, connected devices will be installed worldwide. In four years, that number is expected to double and reach 62.12 billion. New connectivity standards will be required to support the rapidly growing IoT ecosystem. 5G is the technology most organizations bank on.
What is 5G Technology?
5G is the next generation of mobile wireless communications, poised to replace the current 4G LTE connection in the upcoming years. 5G wireless connection assumes faster download/upload speeds, lower latency and increased capacity.
For instance, 5G internet speed will be approximately faster than 4G, with the minimum download speed capped at 20 GB/s (while 4G can muster only 4 GB/s). Data transfer speed will be accelerated as well from approx. 10 100 Mbps to 10 Gbps and beyond – a massive shift towards more seamless and effective connectivity.
Overall this will translate into the following benefits for businesses and consumers:
Shorter delays: 5G will accommodate larger data transfers and minimize the lag in time from when data is sent/received. This will enable real-time connectivity for IoT data exchanges, connected cars and other "smart" objects plugged to the network.
Increased connectivity: 5G mobile network architecture will significantly increase the capacity for resources provisioning. More people and devices will be able to communicate at the same time without overloading the network.
Faster speed: As mentioned already, 5G speed will trump 4G, and likely become comparable (or even faster) to fiber optic wired networks.
Mobility: 5G enables base stations to support movement from 0 to 310 mph, meaning sustainable operations on-the-go (e.g., on a high-speed train).
Improved connection density: 5G is expected to accommodate connected devices more than LTE and support up to 1 million connected objects per square kilometer. That's significant considering the growth of IoT devices.
But when is 5G coming to town? According to , by 2022, 5G connections will comprise 3% of the total mobile connections (equal to 422 million 5G devices and M2M connections around the world). By the same time, the average 5G connection will generate about 3X more traffic than the average 4G connection (8 GB/month). A also indicates that 66% of businesses plan to deploy 5G by 2020. Clearly, the race is on!
5G networks will rely on a higher frequency band of the wireless spectrum (28 GHz and 60 GHz), compared to 4G, as well as leverage the underused lower range frequencies such as the 3.5 GHz.
In short, 5G mobile technology will operate on three different spectrum bands to take the better of both worlds:
Low-band spectrum (sub 1 GHz) is now primarily used by telecom companies in the US. Hence, it's rapidly becoming depleted. Yet, it still offers the best coverage area and penetration. The major con is that peak data speeds are maxed out at 100Mbps.
Mid-band spectrum comes with faster coverage and lower latency, however, it often fails to penetrate buildings. The peak speeds are capped at 1 GB.
High-band spectrum can accelerate peak speeds up to 10 Gbps while ensuring very low latency. The disadvantage, however, is that currently it has low coverage area and building penetration is sub-par. But there's a lot of bandwidth available to users.
Telecom players are tackling the 5G connectivity issue in somewhat different ways. T-Mobile decided to capitalize on the underutilized low-band spectrum and picked up a significant amount of in 2017 to build their network.
Sprint decided to secure a large fraction of the unused mid-band spectrum and (Multiple-input multiple-output) technology to improve building penetration and coverage. MIMO enables transmission and retrieval of more than one data signal at the same time and frequency. Massive MIMO setups can include tens or even hundreds of antennas to maximize the signal quality. For instance, deployed a pilot MIMO system containing 96 to 128 antennas.
Apart from MIMO, Sprint also plans to use beamforming to improve 5G performance even further. Beamforming is a system for cellular base stations that assists with the identification of the most effective data-delivery route to a particular user. At MIMO base stations, the algorithms can dispatch individual data packets in multiple directions, efficiently bypassing buildings and other objects in a choreographed pattern. This way, the system allows exchanging more data at once, while reducing the interference for nearby users. The newer MIMO arrays are also more energy-efficient, offering an additional cost reduction for telecoms. For instance, Nokia's Reef Shark chipset allows cutting the MIMO antenna size in half and .
Additionally, beamforming can be used to address several problems with 5G service delivered on the high-frequency spectrum:
Improve penetration and coverage by focusing the signal in a concentrated beam that points only in the direction of a user.
Reduce the interference for other network participants.
Strengthen the signal's chances of arriving intact.
plan to provide 5G telecom services on a high-band spectrum. They intend to supplement it by the LTE and other frequencies while rolling out nationwide networks, powered by small cells.
Small cells are micro, low-power base stations (picocells, microcells, femtocells) that aid connectivity. They cover small geographic areas and aid with signal transmission:
Increase data capacity;
Eliminate the need to install expensive rooftop or other systems;
Improve smartphone performance. When phones are positioned closer to small cell stations, they transmit at lower power levels, thus substantially increasing the battery life.
How Will 5G Transform Telecommunications and Other Industries?
Both consumers and businesses are surging the demand for 5G standard. According to , network slicing – a new type of virtual networking architecture that enables delivery of unique sets of optimized resources and network topology, tailored to specific use cases – can generate approximately US$66 billion in additional value for the telecom companies.
The demand for 5G mobile and wireless communications technology will be majorly driven by increasing digital, cloud, and security requirements of multiple industries including automotive, logistics, retail, entertainment and manufacturing among others.
Specifically, 5G release will speed up tech advancements in the following business areas:
Connected cars, autonomous driving and self-driving.
AR, VR and MR, including 3D video and UHD screens.
Industry 4.0 – industrial IoT and increased automation.
Smart Cities – transport, infrastructure, logistics.
Connected Healthcare – robotics, wearable telemetry, transmission of HD images, and blockchain use cases in healthcare.
Smart Home ecosystems.
In essence, all 5G use cases can be grouped into the following categories:
Fixed wireless. 5G wireless network will enable the new type of Internet accesses that do not rely on fixed lines, and yet offer great speed, low latency and top capacity. This will enable a wider range of connectivity use cases.
Enhanced Mobile Broadband. By leveraging mmWave antennas, the 5G standard will propel mobile computing performance to the entirely new level, enabling high-speed immersive and cloud-connected experiences with real-time responsiveness. The boldest projections state that 5G can handle up to 20 Gb/s peak throughput and 1 Gbps throughput in high mobility.
Massive machine-type communications (mMTC). Further advancements in 5G development will allow seamless connection of embedded sensors in any object, rapidly advancing the adoption of IoT by different industries. In particular, 5G will play a huge role in supporting the smart cities/smart homes; improving asset tracking and logistics; revolutionizing the industrial manufacturing and maintenance processes, as well as transforming other industries ready to adopt IoT.
Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC). Several emerging applications, such as self-driving cars, robotics and drones, require a new type of data communications featuring ultra-high reliability and deadline-based low latency requirements. URLLC can potentially make 5G more competitive than satellite, with some telcos now exploring the possibility of 5G replacing GPS for geolocation.
5G Technology Use Cases for Businesses, Plus Key Benefits
Within the next decade, the 5th generation technology is expected to become the backbone of autonomous cars, VR applications and industrial IoT, enabling seamless connectivity at breakneck speed. For businesses, this translates into multiple lucrative use cases worth exploring.
1. Improved Industrial Internet of Things Communication.
Per , the majority of enterprises (57%) state that 5G will drive Internet of Things communication and they plan to adopt it within their organization. This should come as no surprise, considering the potential revenue gains – that are currently deploying industrial IoT projects will experience double-digit growth in the next 5 years and one in five companies also expects a 20% increase in sales.
In the manufacturing industry, several millions of connected devices will be soon present on the floors. 5G communications can create better connectivity among those gadgets. 5G architecture paired with machine learning algorithms and big data analytics will enable better control of a lot of processes that are performed manually today. Several profitable use cases emerge as a result:
Wireless industrial control. 5G will enable wireless industrial control in new areas that have been previously inaccessible due to limits in latency required for smooth operations. The costly wear and tear of cables stops being a problem. Connected assembly line can be created with non-hardwired, mobile robots operating alongside with human teams. Additionally, the previously closed-loop systems that require super-fast cycle-time ranges can be made wireless.
Smart factories. Creating interconnected, efficient and semi-automatic smart factories is impossible without a strong communications architecture in place. IoT devices, robots and human personnel should be able to exchange data to collaborate effectively. With the arrival of 5G, those gadgets will no longer need to be wired to gain access to a low-latency, high-speed, high-capacity network.
Wearable technology communication. Smart helmets, glasses and other wearables are becoming more present on the manufacturing floors and in the training facilities. With 5G mobile data, the wearables become capable of delivering seamless service continuity while being away from the phone range. 5G also accelerates the speed of compute/storage delivering, meaning that all sorts of smart gadgets can go from being companion devices to robust standalone gadgets.
Ultimately, 5G will be most suited for a subset of IoT use cases requiring a combination of high data exchange rates and very low latency. New use cases will also emerge post-2020, as 5G will become more adjusted to support massive machine-type communications or ultra-reliable and low-latency communications.
2. Smart Grids.
The global demand for electricity is growing at an enormous pace. To manage the demand, new technological solutions such as smart grids and virtual power plants have emerged. Virtual Power Plants (VPP) are connected entities, aimed at optimizing the energy flow through the entire network. VPPs help owners gain maximum profit while keeping the balance of the electric network at the lowest cost available. Typically, they combine several types of resources such as solar panels, wind turbines, microgrids and energy storing installations, equipped with sensors.
5G will allow assets owners to monitor and balance the precise generation and delivery of energy in real-time, match the resources with the demand levels and create fewer emissions due to the increased efficiency. The particular advantage here is that all the transmission transactions can be instantaneous.
Furthermore, companies and individuals producing an energy surplus could create second revenue streams by accumulating and trading that energy using smart contracts and blockchain.
3. Improved Car Connectivity.
Fully autonomous, self-driving cars may not be a reality just yet. But semi-autonomous vehicles with intelligent driving systems installed by default will be present on the highways in 2021. And by 2022, shipped by OEMs will come equipped with smart telematics and other connectivity systems.
The greater state of connectivity results in multiple new technological innovations and business models including new fleet management solutions, in-car payments and connected commerce, remote diagnostics and OTA updates, predictive maintenance, usage-based auto insurance and more. However, all of these use cases require a greater volume of data exchanges, expected to be fulfilled by 5G:
5G will have life-changing impacts on the automotive industry, manifesting itself in the following manner:
Next-gen infotainment systems. OEMs will receive a new advanced medium for connecting with the drivers on the go. 5G-powered infotainment systems will move on from being sat-nav music control panels towards becoming remote offices, full-fledged entertainment systems and new advertising systems.
Today, manufacturers such as Mercedes are already experimenting with "In-Car Office" functionality. While GM is working on establishing new partnerships with hotels and food chains to expand their "commerce on the go" services suit. 5G will be the technological backbone for delivering high-speed services and top-quality infotainment on the go, as well as over-the-air (OTA) updates to the vehicles' software and firmware.
Advanced asset and fleet management. Fleet managers and logistics companies are under increased pressure to maximize SLAs and reduce downtime. However, keeping track of all the "moving" assets/inventory requires a lot of manpower.
Smart telematics systems, sensors and connected driving systems are gradually overtaking that chore from the human teams. The emerging 5G network features will allow fleet managers to connect even more devices and ensure truly real-time connectivity and remote control over all assets.
Autonomous driving. Fully autonomous level 5 vehicles (the car requires no input from a human to drive) are at least a decade from going mainstream:
However, to benefit from this innovation of tomorrow, savvy organization are already heavily investing in support of autonomous cars ecosystem. After all, self-driving cars will act as movable computing platforms and transmit enormous volumes of data – approx. . This data will need to be rapidly uploaded to a cloud platform, operationalized by AI algorithms and transmitted back to the vehicle in form of driving instructions. These exchanges will need to happen within milliseconds to ensure smooth and safe driving. The features of 5G technology described previously can make such rapid data exchanges a reality.
5G will also serve as a backbone for the new peer-to-peer wireless technology called C-V2X – a connectivity protocol that would enable better information exchanges between different objects in the environment, such as other self-driving cars, smart street lights, toll booths, construction signs, and other roadside infrastructure.
has already announced its intention to integrate C-V2X modules into the new range of cars. Audi, Honda, BMW, Daimler, Nissan, Hyundai, and Volvo have also expressed their support of the technology and are active members of the (5GAA), a consortium of automotive companies that helps develop C-V2X and advocates for its use.
4. Smart Cities.
With urban population density growing at a rapid pace, governments all over the world are looking into digital solutions for the common citizens' problems such as traffic congestion, better public transport and more effective public services delivery.
5G will bring a greater state of connectivity to all the distributed sensors participating in the smart city ecosystem and enable rapid data exchanges between them, bringing more technical solutions into existence. Smart city systems applied to the traffic management and electrical grids alone can generate approximately in benefits and savings for municipalities.
Ultimately, it is estimated that 5G could help create additional 2.2 million jobs, and approximately $420 billion in annual GDP, spread across small-to-large-size communities in the U.S.
What kind of solutions 5G can enable in cities?
Smart street lights. A connected system that will manage the schedule of the street lights, combined with using LED lights can decrease energy costs by and generate a positive ROI in four years.
Connected CCTV systems can streamline more data in real-time to ensure better monitoring of traffic conditions, and public safety. For example, smart streetlights equipped with a video camera and/or gunshot detection sensor can deliver real-time information to officials so that they can respond faster.
Intelligent parking. Smart parking stations can send 5G data about the free parking spots and pricing straight to the driver's onboard vehicle system. Such solutions can , and generate $93,70 in monthly revenue per parking space.
Connected traffic lights. New real-time traffic management systems can emerge and deliver a more granular level of control over the flow of traffic through the cities in response to specific demand levels. The integration of 5G will allow to create and deploy traffic strategies in response to real-time conditions (rush hour, congestions in specific areas, etc.). City managers could also exercise other strategies for giving priority to public transport and optimizing the overall traffic flow to reduce the stop-start driving, which leads to higher pollution.
5. Smart Homes.
Lack of seamless interoperability, plus limited connectivity have been two major roadblocks to wider smart home adoption. As a result, own smart devices, leaving a huge segment of the market untouched.
mMTC, powered by 5G, can bring a vast range of new IoT features to the smart homeowners:
Deliver a more immersive viewing and gaming experience, when coupled with VR and AR.
Simplify connectivity as users will be able to install smart home solutions on their own, while diagnostics and maintenance can be performed remotely.
Ensure greater flexibility when it comes to connecting multiple devices ranging from an array of smart appliances (thermostats, TV, fridges) to building controls (lighting, heating), sensors and security cameras.
Moreover, 5G, when coupled with IPv6, has a strong potential to create a home environment where no LAN is needed to enable a wireless connection.
6. Connected Healthcare.
Healthcare is another industry ripe for 5G disruption. EHR/EMR systems adoption and digitalization of medical data/records are just the first few steps towards more modern and effective healthcare. 5G will allow patients to receive more timely care and monitoring, whereas healthcare providers will benefit from faster and more inclusive access to medical data.
Faster medical image transmission. Speedy delivery of test results can be crucial for successful patient outcomes. However, MRIs and other image machines typically generate enormous files. For instance, at the , the PET scanner generates up to 1 GB of information per patient per study. Transmitting those files on low bandwidth is highly cumbersome. Adding a 5G network to the hospital architecture can speed up the data transfer and improve both access and the quality of provided care.
. More and more healthcare providers have telemedicine programs underway, backed by government initiatives. So far, the results of such initiatives were overwhelmingly positive:
Hospital readmissions decreased at Veterans Health Administration post-telemedicine adoption.
Patients enrolled in a telemedicine program were to be readmitted within 30 days. Additionally, 21% of patients say that the quality of the telemedicine services was similar to or higher than an in-person visit.
Beyond that, telemedicine can improve access to healthcare in the rural locations and remote locations (such as oil rigs) where no access to medical staff is readily available. With the adoption of 5G, the quality of telemedicine appointments can largely increase due to faster data exchanges and better video streaming quality. Medical professionals will also become capable of controlling medical equipment in the patient's vicinity in real time and conduct more complex checkups remotely.
Emergency service bio-connectivity. Patient survival during prehospital time is utmost important. 5G can enable better connectivity on-the-go and allow paramedics to dispatch critical patient's data, such as high-resolution images, high-quality video, to the hospital before their arrival.
Ambulance personnel can also hold real-time video conferencing with the hospital staff, as well as enable communication between the ambulance equipment and telemedicine tools at hospitals. All of this will result in better prehospital care.
Real-time bio connectivity through wearables. Different wearables and remote monitoring IoT devices can be given to patients to improve treatment plans and deliver preventive care. The usage of wearable health tech is expected to decrease hospital costs .
At-home monitoring devices can be also deployed to monitor the patient's' vitals and schedule treatment at an optimal time (e.g., when the blood count is high enough). This would eliminate unnecessary trips to the hospital for patients. As well, medical wearables
and at-home bio-connectivity devices can be used to collect the essential health data remotely and eliminate the need for regular check-ups.
At present, however, remote monitoring technology usage is limited due to insufficient speed of data transmission and unreliable connections. 5G can change that, enabling doctors to make faster healthcare decisions and catch life-threatening health conditions earlier, even from a distance.
The Main 5G Technology Adoption Challenges
The described 5G use cases hold great promise for multiple industries and different cohorts of users. And though 5G services are being gradually rolled out by telecom providers in the US, there's still a long road ahead to widespread usage. Here's what holding 5G aback:
1. Spectrum availability.
As mentioned at the beginning of this post, spectrum bands will be crucial to delivering 5G services across the different use cases. Specifically, telecom providers will need to work out the optimal combination of available options and secure enough bandwidth. Before that happens, 5G services quality may remain lower than anticipated.
2. The cost factor.
As carriers have cumulatively invested over $300 billion in the development of 5G infrastructure and services, the cost of 5G initially will be steep. Businesses now considering the usage of 5G will have to build a strong business case for it, to ensure that their investment will bring in a positive ROI in the long run.
3. Privacy.
Consumers' concerns over privacy are mounting as 5G will simplify access to their location data. Many people fear that businesses will resell, or otherwise transfer, that data to brokers and advertisers. These valid concerns will need to be proactively addressed by service providers. All the data collection will need to take place in line with the local regulations.
4. Security.
5G will enable wider usage of the new cloud/virtualization technologies such as software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV). Both of them are highly flexible and programmable in nature, meaning they are more vulnerable to security threats. For instance, an SDN network element, such as the management interface, could be used to gain access to the SDN controller and bring down the entire system as a result.
Thus, finding the right approach to 5G security will be paramount for businesses. Several mechanisms are worth considering:
Authentication and Key Agreement (AKA);
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)-based secondary authentication.
Additionally, companies who plan to use or produce Radio Access Network (RAN)-side 5G devices should also mind the increased Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) threat.

7th Annual Monster Piano Concert
7th Annual Monster Piano Concert is a monster fundraiser for Nicholls State School of Music
Thibodaux, LA (PRWEB) October 14, 2014
A Monday night sellout? The Mary M. Danos Theater was near capacity on Monday, September 15, 2014 for the Seventh Annual Monster Piano Concert which was presented by the Nicholls State University Foundation and the Nicholls Department of Music. Doors opened at 6:45 p.m., and the performance began at 7 p.m. Light hors d'oeuvres and an open bar were available for patrons during intermission.
This year's concert featured 37 performers — including Nicholls faculty, alumni, friends of the university, and local high school students — performing on seven of the Department of Music's Steinway grand pianos. Dr. Luciana Soares, Professor of Piano at Nicholls State, was largely responsible for coordinating the music and heavy practice schedules required to succeed with a concert of this scope.
The Nicholls Department of Music is the only public music school in the state of Louisiana that has earned the designation of being an "All-Steinway School" and exclusively uses elite Steinway pianos for performances and music education. The Monster Concert serves as a major fund raiser for piano maintenance and scholarships. Through the past 7 years, it has engaged the students, staff and community in the All-Steinway School experience.
Steve Kinchen, one of the performers and co-owner of South Louisiana's premier Steinway & Sons dealer, Hall Piano Company, said, "This year's highlight for me was to see the number of High School age students from the Nicholls Academy that participated. The Academy serves as a feeder program for college prep. What an opportunity for these young musicians to experience this high level of concert performance!"
"While the music was certainly as entertaining as it has been in the past, the evening was also memorable for the university," said Dr. David Boudreaux, executive director of the Nicholls Foundation. "Sometime after the fall semester 2014 concludes, the university will close down the theater to begin the long-awaited renovation project. When we reopen the new theater, we will have a state-of-the art venue in which we can all take pride."

Posted byJosef Ralt	 June 25, 2015 June 25, 2015 1 Comment on What's the point ?
Asking this question in the context of doing art has two meanings.
One, is the simple visible point of focus around which the composition is built. In the art of painting, it can be a simple object that has an intrinsic balance that gives us a sense of beauty that pleases the eye.
A rose, beautiful landscape, an interesting face, a general feeling of a place that can lead to some abstract forms or even a pattern that gives a sense of a meaning like the musical rhythm patterns of Kandinsky or the intricate abstract patterns of an Arabesque.
They all have a sense of a built-in reason for their own existence and require no further explanation.
In Chan Buddhism it is referred to as Tathatā. The inherent suchness of things.It is the seemingly mundane appearances of simple forms that given the right point of focus and right perspective, allow us a glimpse into the more elevated and perhaps a spiritual reality of everyday objects that surround us.
There are of course countless examples of great works of Art and great artists troughout the history if Art who knew intuitively what is Tathata and in many ways the art of painting could be viewed entirely from this focal point.
Many of the contemporary philosophies of Art that try to explain what art is get into superfluous explanations that miss the whole point of visual expression and the main reason why the human eye is craving to look at beauty.
Much can be said about muchness , Tathata and the God of the simple things revealed to anyone who can listen with their eyes but I will touch on this in another post related to the concept of the Pardes taken from Kabbala mystical way of life.
The second focal point , which i would like to touch and in my opinion is the more important question in the realm of Art making, it is the why of the work of art. The raison d'être.
This can be of course a very tricky question in the sense that much of a good work of art is not done on a conscious level. It would be a very awkward process if an artist or for that reason any creative practitioner had to think about the deep hidden reasons of why they are drawn to express themselves in the that particular way and it would undoubtedly hinder the whole process of creativity.
There is of course countless attempts to explain what constitutes a work of art and why a certain work is a masterpiece while others are mediocre repetition of something trite. The verbiage of artsy talk has been a subject of many of the anecdotical talks in post gallery visits in Woody Allen's films that intuitively draws laughter from the audience. It makes us laugh, precisely because of the ridiculous pomposity of the words used only by the few initiates of the inner conclave of the world of Art.
What I would like to discuss here is something that is rarely thought in art schools in spite of much talking done in the famous crits of the more prestigious schools of art.
This point is the individual perspective that combines the particular with the universal. It is where according to Carl Gustav Jung , the archetypal world of our dreams converge with the specifics of our individuality, creating a unique patterns that constitute the creative dance of our life.
Putting it all back into an individual perspective,in my own personal art, in the theme of the cafe I am trying to combine the specifics of observations of a given scene with some kind of unexpected element that has a deeper quality.
I is a specific state of mind that allows the subconscious, dreamy quality, to interlace with a more mysterious aspect of reality, usually hidden from a casual glance and requires a deeper, more dynamic and more contemplative looking.

Q: write pandas data frame to a json file I have a small data frame and want to convert to json file. I want the json file to be in a nice format (with indents etc). Also, I want one of the columns of the data frame to be the key to the json data. Here is an example:
input dataframe:
    start_date  Nums  ID     tag
51 2016-03-13 00:00:00       3110            2  787623
55 2016-03-17 00:00:00     676754            1  787623

Desired output format of json: [note: the indices 51 and 55 are gone, the tag value 78723 has become the 'key']. The below desired
{
          "787623": [{
              "start_date": "2016-03-13",
              "Nums": "3110",
              "ID": "2"
           }, {
              "start_date": "2016-03-17",
              "Nums": "676754",
              "ID": "1"
           }]
}

Currently, I am doing a simple df.to_json(jsonFile, date_format = 'iso', orient = 'records') which yields a more compact json file like this:
[{"start_date":"2016-03-13T00:00:00.000Z","Nums":3110,"ID":2,"tag":787623},{"start_date":"2016-03-17T00:00:00.000Z","Nums":676754,"ID":1,"tag":787623}]

But, I like the nicely formatted style.
any help is appreciated.

A: The DataFrame.to_dict() method has a lot of options for how the dictionary is laid out. Then you can use the indent option in the json module functions to create the nicely formatted string.
Example:
d={}
for tag,group in df.set_index('tag').groupby(level='tag'):
    d[str(tag)]=group.to_dict(orient='records')
print(json.dumps(d,indent=1))

If you didn't have duplicate entries in the tag field, a one-liner would work.

A: This should do it:
df.groupby('tag').apply(lambda df: df.to_dict(orient='records')).to_json(date_format='iso')

{"787623":[{"ID":2,"tag":787623,"start_date":"2016-03-13","Nums":3110},{"ID":1,"tag":787623,"start_date":"2016-03-17","Nums":676754}]}

Q: LocaDate/LocalDateTime issue while using Generics I want to have method that would accept 2 arguments which are Comparable, compare and return result. This is the method:
def test[T <: Comparable[T]](a1: T, a2: T): Int = a1.compareTo(a2)

But there is an issue while using it with LocalDate as LocalDate is not comparable with other LocalDate, it's comparable with ChronoLocalDate. And when I try to call like this:
test(LocalDate.of(2017,1,2), LocalDate.of(2017, 2, 2))

I get error
type arguments [java.time.LocalDate] do not conform to method test's type parameter bounds [T <: Comparable[T]] test[LocalDate](a1, a2)

I understand the problem, but I don't understand how to solve it.

A: def test[T <: Comparable[U], U >: T](a1: T, a2: T): Int = a1.compareTo(a2)

Then
test[LocalDate,  chrono.ChronoLocalDate](
  LocalDate.of(2017,1,2),
  LocalDate.of(2017, 2, 2)
)

A shame you need the type parameters to be provided explicitly here

A: Say "T must be comparable with some supertype of T":
def test[T <: Comparable[_ >: T]](a1: T, a2: T): Int = a1.compareTo(a2)

'Remain in Mexico' policy's impact in Nogales, Sonora
The migrant protection protocols expanded to Nogales in January 2020. TWEET SHARE
Since January — when the Department of Homeland Security expanded the Trump administration's Migrant Protection Protocols to include Nogales, Arizona — about 160 people seeking asylum have been returned across the border to wait for their court dates. Arizona Republic reporter Rafael Carranza discussed the program's impact so far.
"A lot of the nonprofits that help migrants in Nogales, Sonora, are concerned about what the future looks like because there are already thousands of migrants waiting to claim asylum," Carranza said.
Migrants sent to Nogales have court in El Paso. They have to cross in Juarez, which is almost 300 miles away. "You have to go through some frankly very dangerous territory. Especially in the mountainous areas between Sonora and Chihuahua," Carranza said.
Since January 2019, more than 56,000 migrants have been returned to Mexico to await their immigration hearings in the U.S. Seven ports of entry across the southern border currently implement the program.
Arizona 360 airs Fridays at 8:30 p.m. on PBS 6 and Saturdays at 8 p.m. on PBS 6 PLUS. See more from Arizona 360.

Michelangelo Antonioni's "Blow-Up" opened in America two months before I became a film critic, and colored my first years on the job with its lingering influence. It was the opening salvo of the emerging "film generation," which quickly lined up outside "Bonnie and Clyde," "Weekend" (1968), "The Battle of Algiers," "Easy Rider" and "Five Easy Pieces." It was the highest-grossing art film to date, was picked as the best film of 1967 by the National Society of Film Critics, and got Oscar nominations for screenplay and direction. Today, you rarely hear it mentioned.
Young audiences aren't interested any more in a movie about a "trendy" London photographer who may or may not have witnessed a murder, who lives a life of cynicism and ennui, and who ends up in a park at dawn, watching college kids play tennis with an imaginary ball. The twentysomethings who bought tickets for "Blow-Up" are now focused on ironic, self-referential slasher movies.

Drains clog, it's a fact of life. Sometimes that clog is simple and localized to one sink or a toilet. Other times, the clogged drain is more widespread, like the main sewer line in your home or business. Andrews Plumbing takes an escalating approach to unclog your drains and keep water from backing up into your home, basement, or business.
Sometimes the clog is small and localized. Homeowners have been cleaning these clogged and slow drains for years with relatively inexpensive tools that get the job done. Other times, the cause of the clog can be tree roots, grease, old pipes and sewer lines, or things that should not have gone down the drain in the first place. In those cases, it's best to call in a plumber.
Professional plumbers like Andrews Plumbing bring in heavy duty equipment like a power snake or auger to clear the drain, and keep waste water moving away from your home or business. Some homes benefit from a scheduled drain cleaning to keep waste water flowing and preventing an emergency call.
Sewer trap clogged with tree roots can be cleaned with an auger or water jetting.
Sometimes a slow or clogged drain will make strange sounds before water ever begins to back up. If you hear gurgling or bubbling coming from your drain, call us before it becomes an emergency situation!
When clogs reappear and drains continue to drain slowly, we can snake a camera down your drain to see the problem in the exact location. The ability to see what is going on in your plumbing takes the guess work out of the solution and enables the right fix to keep your drains clear and running quickly. These cameras come in handy and save thousands of dollars in digging when big problems, such as collapsed sewer lines need repair.
If your toilet clogs or you find your tub or sink running slowly, give us a call. Many times the solution can be found with simple drain 'snaking'. If that does not clear up the problem, we can run a camera through your plumbing to see what is happening. When we take a look we can say with great certainty that you have a big problem or a small problem. It's best to know what you're dealing with and to repair what is truly needed rather than guessing about the water and waste flow through your home or business.
The toughest of clogs cannot win against Hot Water Jetting. Andrews Plumbing is the only plumber in Northeast Indiana that offers this service. Grease, extensive tree roots, and scale are quickly cleared and your pipes are as close to new as they will ever be.

Two-Minute Drill: Chris Holtmann, Seniors Preview Illinois
March 4, 2020 by Tony Gerdeman
COLUMBUS — Ohio State men's basketball coach Chris Holtmann met with reporters on Wednesday to preview Thursday's home game against Illinois.
Also speaking with the media were seniors Andre Wesson and Danny Hummber. Senior night will take place Thursday and both players talked about what the emotions will be like for each of them.
Videos will be added shortly.
Chris Holtmann
+ This is a big week for the Buckeyes with games against Illinois and Michigan State.
+ What wins in this league is veteran guys and tough-minded teams. That shows up on the road.
+ Thursday is a special night. It's senior night with Andre Wesson and Danny Hummer. The 1960 national champs will also be honored and several will be in attendance.
+ Kyle Young is still day to day. His improvement has been incremental. He is anxious to get back which is why his doctor prescribed this delta 8 gummy help in pain relief and stress, but it was a significant sprain. He would add a lot of value against Illinois and Michigan State, but they have to weigh that with the long-term needs of the team this season.
+ EJ Liddell has responded well in the absence of Kyle Young. This is currently the shortest rotation Holtmann has ever had in his career.
+ Alonzo Gaffney is still out with an illness. "I can't get into specifics on that." He is still a part of the program.
+ Ibrahima Diallo could see time this week.
+ Ohio State is playing two of the better teams in the country this week. "There is never a break." There will be no breaks in the postseason either. That's the reality. You accept that and you embrace it.
+ Senior night festivities will take place after the game where players will address the crowd.
+ Playing against two teams vying for a conference crown means they have to match the opposing intensity. You also want to be playing as well as you can at the end of the season. "Our deal is to continue to try to build the momentum." These are the games you want to be in.
+ CJ Walker has taken a step up in leadership and ownership. "He's a tremendous kid. He's going to be a really good coach." He has settled into his role right now. Holtmann maybe understood some of the transition that was going to take place for Walker and how difficult it actually was.
+ Kaleb Wesson isn't happy with how he is finishing, but Holtmann stressed how well he is playing defensively and his shooting outside has been effective as well.
+ Look at Andre Wesson's stats over the years and you'll see a guy who has worked hard to become a complete and efficient wing. When Holtmann recruited him at Butler, his hope was that he would end up being the player he's become.
+ He's enjoyed interacting with the members of the 1960 national championship team. "It's been what you'd expect." The stories are great. They are the lone national champs here, so he is trying to glean what he can. He hasn't had any interactions with Bobby Knight in the past five or so years.
+ When Holtmann got the job at OSU, he showed Andre Wesson several of the texts that Wesson never responded to when Butler was recruiting him.
+ As a coach, you always feel bad for not being able to play walk-ons because those are some of the most passionate guys in the entire program.
+ Illinois is much different defensively than last year, but very similar on offense. They were unique defensively in the past, but they have changed to a more conventional defensive style. They have good defensive players with length. They protect the rim and they don't foul.
+ Duane Washington's defense is "getting there." He has taken ownership of improving and they have seen that happen. This is going to be a big week for him to continue that improvement.
+ Illinois is a very good road team. Tough minded. They went through a lot last year and they are mostly all back.
Andre Wesson
+ He hopes he doesn't cry tomorrow night.
+ It's going to be bittersweet on Senior Night. His journey here is coming to an end. "It's going to be special for sure."
+ Have to push the emotions to the side and focus on getting a win that the team needs.
+ "I've definitely grown a lot over these four years. I'm always trying to get better." That has been instilled in him since he was young.
+ "I've been through a lot these four years, not just injuries."
+ It's a dream come true to have been able to be a Buckeye and have his dad at his games. "To make my dad proud is probably my greatest accomplishment."
+ Playing with Kaleb has been something he'll never forget. The last game with Kaleb will be even more special than Senior Night.
+ He got scared when Holtmann showed him all of the unanswered texts because that was his coach now.
Danny Hummer
+ It's been a long road. Tomorrow night's game is important and it will be special to be out there with everyone who helped get him here.
+ Could he get the start? Maybe.
+ "I appreciate everything. My role is to come in every day with the same mentality."
+ He doesn't look for his shot when he gets into the game because that's not his personality and he has the respect of his teammates and he knows he can play, so he doesn't feel the need to fire shots up when he gets on the court.

Any player, starter or walk on, who sticks it out to the end of his senior year as a Buckeye has my respect. Congratulations!

Do Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag From 'The Hills' Still Hate Each Other?
by Lauren Weiler linkedin | More Articles: TV
It's been nearly a decade since The Hills ended, an MTV series that chronicled the lives of several young women as they navigated Los Angeles together. We got to get a glimpse into their personal and professional lives as many of them went from Laguna Beach, California, to big city life. And, of course, viewers were captured by the drama along the way.
Now, The Hills is slated for a reboot coming in 2019 — and it has fans recalling one iconic feud that seemingly ruined a friendship. While Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag were close for multiple seasons of the show, their relationship came to a screeching halt thanks to one huge rumor. Do they still hate each other? Here's what we gathered.
First, Lauren never approved of Heidi's relationship with Spencer
A post shared by heidimontag (@heidimontag)
When The Hills first began, we remember how tight Lauren and Heidi's friendship was. Broadly reminds us the two roomed together in West Hollywood and were practically inseparable. Unfortunately, their friendship was tested when Heidi started dating Spencer Pratt. Spencer and Lauren never got along, and Lauren never liked the idea of him dating her best friend. She even went so far as to tell Heidi that she shouldn't date him, but by the end of Season 2, Heidi was moving in with Spencer — and thus was the beginning of the end of the Lauren-Heidi friendship.
Nowadays, we know Heidi and Spencer are married and even have a child together. And Spencer threw major shade at Lauren multiple times after The Hills finished filming, proving their feud is far from over.
A rumor spread that Lauren and her ex, Jason Wahler, made a sex tape
A post shared by Lauren Conrad (@laurenconrad)
We saw Heidi and Lauren's friendship tested at the end of the second season of The Hills, but things really blew up a week before the Season 3 premiere. E! News reports in 2007, tabloids reported that Lauren made a sex tape with her ex from Laguna Beach, Jason Wahler. Lauren immediately denied the rumors on her website. "Jason and I are both shocked and hurt that people would say such horrible things about us. I can't believe that somebody would go to such great lengths to try to damage my reputation," she wrote.
Lauren then went on to say that she was shocked a close friend of hers — who we all believe is Heidi — didn't call or text her after the rumors circulated. And once the Season 3 premiere of the show aired, we saw the whole situation escalate dramatically. Lauren blamed the rumors on Heidi and Spencer and infamously shouted, "You know what you did!" at Heidi while they were both at a club.
Spencer allegedly admitted to spreading the lies
https://www.instagram.com/p/BelnDkLAzgx/
Heidi seemed shocked that Lauren would accuse her of spreading rumors, but it appears that Lauren may not have been too far off with her accusations. E! News reports back in 2009, Lauren led a panel where the question of the sex tape rumor was brought up once again. Lauren reaffirmed that Spencer spread the lies, stating, "We actually have it on tape. [Spencer] takes responsibility and apologizes for it."
Not only that, but E! News explains Spencer admitted himself that he was the one who leaked the information about the tape, which he has said multiple times actually does exist. But he's not afraid to defend himself, either. "She tried to destroy us," he said. "If you want to throw missiles, I'm throwing a nuke. This is how I operate."
Lauren and Heidi still don't talk
Are Lauren and Heidi past their feud? It seems highly unlikely that they are. While Lauren did attend Spencer and Heidi's wedding, they reportedly haven't talked much since. As Heidi told Buzzfeed back in 2016, "The last time I spoke to Lauren was a few years ago. Like two or so. We kind of were talking a little and then we both were kind of like, 'We're not friends.' It's kind of awkward."
Heidi would be willing to reconcile further with Lauren, however. She told People, "I'd be willing to move forward and put things behind us. We would never be the way that we were again, but it would be fun to maybe catch up one day and be mature and be like, 'Hey that was crazy, I wish you the best,' type-of-thing." Unfortunately, Heidi doesn't think that will ever actually happen. "But I don't think she would be ever ready for that," she added. So far, Lauren has made no comment.

Q: Defining Handler Functions in a Prototye I am trying to create a JavaScript prototype that will allow me to handle the outcome of a process in a similar way to the jQuery ajax call works. For example:
var request = $.ajax({
    //params here
})
.done(function(data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
    //action here
})
.fail(function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
    //action here
});

How do I declare my prototype to have the done and fail events (if that is even the correct term to use) and make sure that they are fired under a condition from within the prototype logic?
My desired call would be something like this:
var o = myObj({
    parma1: 'a',
    param2: 'b'
})
.done(function() {
    //action here
});
.fail(function() {
    //action here
});

I hope this makes sense as I do not know what the correct terminologies are for this process :(
I am using jQuery so if there is a better solution using jQuery then that is fine.

A: I suppose you want to use this for an asyncrhonous task. Here is a somewhat similar solution:
var o = {
    parma1: 'a',
    param2: 'b',
    doAsyncStuff: function(complete, error){

        var someData = 0;

        setTimeout(function(){
            someData = 1;
            complete(someData);
        }, 500);

        //or if something went wrong:
        //error(someErrorData);
    }
}

o.doAsyncStuff(function(data){
    console.log('complete', data);
}, function(data){
    console.log('error', data);
});

As requested, an updated version using deferred objects. I took myself the freedom to include progress as well, in case you might need it:
var task = (function($){

    var dfd = $.Deferred(),
        cls = function(){

            console.log('param passed:', arguments);

            for(var i = 0; i < 5; i++){

                var count = 0;

                setTimeout(function(){

                    count++;

                    dfd.notify({ msg: 'interation ' + count + ' complete' });

                    if(count === 5)
                        dfd.resolve({ something: 1 });

                    //if anything goes wrong,
                    //you can always reject the deferred:
                    //dfd.reject(args);

                }, 1000 * i);

            }
        };

    cls.prototype = {
        done: dfd.promise().done,
        fail: dfd.promise().fail,
        always: dfd.promise().always,
        progress: dfd.promise().progress
    };

    return cls;

})(jQuery);

var t = new task({ foo: 'bar' }, 123, 'baz');

t.progress(function(data){
    console.log('progress:', data);
}).done(function(){
    console.log('done');
}).fail(function(){
    console.log('fail');
}).always(function(){
    console.log('always');
});

It's not very well known around these parts, but I am somewhat of an amateur astronomer. I have a few telescopes, (and one camera lens that might as well be a telescope), and have spent many an hour outside gazing at the stars.
So, it should be known that in the coming days there is a chance to see something truly unique, a comet that so far has lived up to its hype.
Comet ISON, was discovered over a year ago and is making it's first (and probably only) trip into our solar system. The ~2 mile wide body of rock and ice will get to around 700,000 miles away from the Sun's surface, at which point no one knows what will happen to it. The comet is so small, and it's getting so close that it could evaporate, disintegrate, or continue on like a boss.
It's currently on it's way to the sun, and will get there Nov. 28, 2013, if it survives, it could become amazing. But you don't need to wait till next week to go see it, you can see it now. It's even a naked eye object if you have sufficiently dark skies. If not, a simple pair of binoculors, and the knowing where to look is all you need. Oh, and you have to get up at around 4:30am.
Unless you have a serious telescope, and you know how to use it, don't expect to see something like that.
Anyway, you should go outside and look for this comet.
I tried the other day, but clouds were in the way. But I'll keep trying this is a once in a forever chance.
