You betcha

I'm going to change my perspective on this team, I guess. I've been looking at this slump all wrong.
Specifically, it's fine to acknowledge that the team has played like absolute garbage for the better part of the entire month now. There was that four-game losing streak to start us off, which coincided nicely with the launch of this site and made us feel like quite the fool.
But since then, they've continued to play poorly and have somehow earned points in a little stretch of six straight games, during which the team has gone 4-0-2. While they've only allowed 15 goals in those six games, that's largely been because Miikka Kiprusoff was playing his ass off, as he did once again last night, making 25 saves.
Let's kick the ballistics here: Calgary, in this run, has allowed 207 shots. That's 34.5 a night. Realistically, you can't continue to allow that many shots and expect to win games. But because Calgary's been doing it, I don't think I can continue to be upset about it.
Because if the team plays this poorly and wins, imagine what it will do if it ever gets on-track again. (Big if!) It can lay the powers of the Western Conference to waste. No problem.
At least, that's what I'll keep telling myself while all these points keep the team warm at night.
A win. While it was only in overtime and thus Calgary conceded a point to a division rival, at least the Wild are far enough back of the Flames (14 points) that, in the end, it likely won't matter. So whatever, I guess.
The fact that the game went to overtime at all is a miracle. Calgary was pretty damn awful for more or less the entirety of the opening 35 minutes, but a goofy happenstance that resulted in the Rene Bourque goal sure was nice to at least give Calgary some breathing room for a little while.
Kipper was very good again. Can't fault him on the goal from Clark Gillies, and I'm still not sure what happened on Danny Fritsche's shortie. But what the hell, right? Guy's been pretty much bulletproof lately.
Dustin Boyd's goal right off the draw was a perfect little set piece that resulted in a goal. Win the faceoff back to the point, big shot, get bodies to the front of the net for the rebound/deflection. Pretty much exactly how you draw that up. Big goal, too.
And obviously, Adrian Aucoin's OT game-winner was fairly important. At least it didn't go to a shootout!
Losing Rene Bourque for "a long time" due to the ankle injury caused by Fritsche's slew foot (and that's exactly what it was) is very upsetting. Keenan noted in the postgame presser that Bourque should have been a Selke nominee, but now he won't get his due consideration. Keenan also seemed on the verge of tears while announcing the injury. While I'm not sure I'm that broken up over this, I'm certainly broken up some. The guy's got as many goals as Jarome Iginla, fer chrissake.
Aucoin's giveaway on the aforementioned Fritsche goal was awful. That's two shorties against in two games, both off terrible turnovers. The Flames seem to have at least one giveaway a night that directly leads to an opponent's goal. It's unbearable.
In fact, and this is obviously related to the first two points here, the entire sequence was just awful for the Flames. Bourque catches a slew foot from Fritsche and is out for a long-ass time, Aucoin loses the puck to the middle of the ice for no real reason, and Fritsche scores shorthanded. Brutal turn of events right there.
Oh hey Jarome Iginla's play was awful once again last night. I knew it was too good to be true.
My "Needless Todd Bertuzzi Penalty" counter is now officially broken.
That power play last night was atrocious. One shot? Come on.

The PP is an abomination right now. There's just not much at all happening with it.
A conspiracy theorist would say Bourque going down was planned because he was going to pass Iggy leaving him third on the team in goals, looking quite foolish, and leaving us all wondering about that 7 mill extension. Im on to you Sutter. Im just joking.
Anyways, thats a terrible loss and calling him a selke candidate is not too far off IMO. He'll be hard to replace until he comes back although I do think hell be back by playoffs. It took Crosby 21 games to overcome a similar injury. I hope thye have someone in the system who can atleast fill in, likely Lundmark.
Even though Bert didnt get the penalty he definitely deserved it on one interference play. Him and another player were coming back to the Flames zone and he bowled him over. Bert them proceeded to look directly at the ref and have that stupid innocent look on his face. This broke the count but the intent to do something stupid and get another needless penalty was there…
Like i've said this past week to friends and people who can't seem to be proud of the way these boys have been playing. Goaltending is strong, depth scoring is there we have the keys and last night was a kick back in to reality every team isn't immune to injuries and some get over it some don't this team can do it and what's a better cure then dealing with the hated Oilers tomorrow night.

Jo Metson Scott
The Shephard and the farmer
/ The Shepherd and the Farmer /
"I'm what they call a 'Doonhamer' - from Mid Dumfries originally," Archie tells us as we bounce across the hilly fields in a 4x4 buggy. "I'm the 'Mad Scotsman' like. But it's only to find work that I've come here."
We'd met Archie the evening before. We had parked up to admire a long-haired highland cow chewing a hedge.
"You like them, do you?" The Scot shouts over to us. "Yea, they're gorgeous," Jo shouts back. "It's quite unusual to see Highland cows this far south, right?" "Aye, it is." Archie says as he walks over to us.
He invites us to come out with him the next morning to see the rest of the herd.
The next morning at 6am we're in the back on his 4x4, dogs around our feet after being shooed off the back seat. Archie works as the general stockman, on an estate near Hexham (Northumberland), for the owner, Julian. But Archie's a shepherd by trade.
We tell Archie what brings us to the area.
"For me, there's no difference" he starts. "But I'm lucky. I'm quite healthy and the house comes with the job. But if I wasn't…well there's more free in Scotland, like, such as prescriptions and even the council tax here is three times what it is in Scotland. But I think if they want to go independent, let them go, aye. Why not? I think they'd be better off if they could make more of their own decisions."
As a Scot living in England, Archie won't get a vote. "I can't understand why. It's a small country and there's English people living in Scotland who have the vote. Why should they be voting? It's not their country, like."
The noise of the engine driving across the fields disrupts the morning's silence. As we near the herd Archie turns the engine off and lets the animals settle before getting out.
The horned beasts' large eyes peek through golden fringes. They're camouflaged in the tall shimmering grass. When Archie steps out, they approach him, in anticipation of food.
Julian joins us later. He is what the locals call a 'gentleman farmer,' a descendent of old landed gentry.
"They're interested in what we think about Scottish Independence," Archie fills Julian in. "We'll all become bootleggers and smugglers," Julian jokes. "But we all hope desperately hope that it isn't going to happen. The Status quo works perfectly well."
Julian has been engaged in conservationism in the last few years. He used to farm intensively but now it's all entirely natural. "We bought the highland cattle because they take all the bad stuff out of the old dead rank grass and chew on it thoughtfully and then the heather grows back naturally. "Aye, they're good for the land," Archie adds. "They know how to graze the hills properly."

Trump Recertifies Iran Deal but Announces New Sanctions
Updated Jul. 17, 2017 11:28PM ET / Published Jul. 17, 2017 11:19PM ET
Carlos Barria
President Trump has agreed to re-certify Iran's compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal and extend sanctions relief, but Tehran will now face a new round of sanctions for non-nuclear activities, the White House said late Monday. The decision on Iran's compliance with the deal—a quarterly requirement for the Trump administration—reportedly came after hours of chaotic discussions between Trump and his top national security advisers. Ultimately, the administration announced it would extend sanctions relief for Tehran but impose new sanctions for non-nuclear activities, including the development of ballistic missiles and supporting terrorism. A top official said both Trump and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson believe Iran "remains one of the most dangerous threats to U.S. interests and to regional stability," according to Reuters. While Tehran may be abiding by the nuclear requirements, the White House said, "the entire administration judge that Iran is unquestionably in default of the spirit" of the 2015 nuclear deal.

Blade height (at heel): 1.77 in.
Description: Bill Burke, who was honored as a journeyman smith in 2003 and a Mastersmith in 2008, makes knives that are as high performance as they can get. Each knife is pre-tested for edge flex and cutting ability before assembly. The heat treat follows the formulas Bill and Ed Fowler developed, which have been proven to create some of the sharpest and most long lasting edges found anywhere.
This camp knife features an 9 1/8" blade with a strong, thick, spine. It was made while Bill was a journeyman smith and is one of only about 12 knives that Bill marked with his "JS" mark. As with all of Bill's camp and hunting knives, the 52100 carbon steel blade has been differentially heat treated, creating resilience at the spine with an edge that won't quit. The handle is formed from natural sheep horn, which does not become slippery when wet and is amazingly durable. A spacer is formed by taking two sheep horn end cuts and aligning them outward. This spacer, which is surrounded by black fiber spacers, allows the handle to adjust to temperature and humidity changes. Excellent fit and finish throughout.

AVI HomeopathyDiseasesCerebral Palsy
It refers to movement disorder which results in immature, damage developing brain of a child. Cerebral palsy generally occurs before the birth of a child.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a broad term used to describe a disorder that affects muscle tone, movement, and motor skills (the ability to move in a coordinated and purposeful way). CP is usually caused by brain damage that occurs before or during a child's birth, or during the first 3 to 5 years of a child's life.
Cerebral palsy is an abnormality of motor function and this abnormality in the motor system is the result of brain damage that is non-progressive. "Non-progressive" means that the lesion does not produce continuing degeneration of the brain. Function of the motor system is to provide the ability to move and also control movements.
The brain damage that leads to cerebral palsy can also lead to other health problems, including vision, hearing, and speech problems, and learning disabilities. However, the symptoms due to the brain damage often change over time -- sometimes getting better and sometimes getting worse.
In most cases, the cause of congenital cerebral palsy is unknown. But evidence supports theories that infections, birth injuries, and poor oxygen supply to the brain before, during, and immediately after birth result are common factors.
Other causes of cerebral palsy include genetic disorders, stroke due to abnormal blood vessels or blood clots. Severe illness (such as meningitis) during the first years of life, physical trauma, and severe dehydration can cause brain injury and result in CP.
Premature birth is a risk factor for cerebral palsy. Children that are born prematurely can also develop serious respiratory distress; this can lead to periods of poor oxygen supply to the brain that might result in cerebral palsy.
Spastic cerebral palsy
Spastic cerebral palsy causes stiffness and movement difficulties in one or more extremities, largely due to the inability to coordinate movements. Mostly the spasticity occurs on one side of the body (hemi paresis), but it can also affect the four limbs (quadriparesis) or be limited to both legs (spastic diplegia).
The degree of spasticity can vary, ranging from mild to severe. If Spasticity not treated properly it can result in contractures, which are permanent limitations in the ability of joint movement. There can also be limitations of speech, chewing, swallowing, and facial and eye movements. Some children will have seizures.
Athetoid or dyskinetic (or Athetoid dyskinetic) cerebral palsy
This is the second most common type of cerebral palsy in which whole body is affected. Muscle tone becomes weak, Intelligence will nearly always be normal. The main feature is the presence of abnormal involuntary movements in the arms, legs and face. The child will have problems in walking, sitting, maintaining posture, and speaking clearly etc.
Ataxic cerebral palsy
The child's balance and depth perception are affected. Ataxic CP is a rare form of CP. The fine motor coordination is much affected, as well as the gait. In these children there is a marked loss of voluntary muscular coordination so that movements are performed with abnormal force, rhythm, and accuracy. Such as difficult to tie his/her shoelaces, difficulties in walking, button up shirts, cut with scissors, and other fine motor skills. Most children with ataxic cerebral palsy are of normal intelligence and have good communication skills.
Hypotonic cerebral palsy
Hypotonia means diminished muscle tone. Muscle problems will appear much earlier. In early infancy, hypotonia can be easily seen by the inability of the infant to gain any head control when pulled by the arms to a sitting position. Some parents have described their child's movements as similar to that of a rag doll. The baby gives only a moderate amount of resistance when an adult tries to move their limbs.
Choreoathetoid cerebral palsy
Choreoathetoid (sometimes referred as athetoid) cerebral palsy is associated with abnormal, involuntary movements of the limbs, trunk and even the face.
Persons with choreoathetoid cerebral palsy have variable muscle tone often with decreased muscle tone (hypotonia). The abnormal movements are activated/or aggravated by stress, normal emotional reactions such as weeping, laughing or any attempt to do voluntary movements such as extending the arm in an attempt to reach an object might result in many involuntary movements in limbs, trunk and even the face. These movements can be quite debilitating and greatly limit the child's ability to perform many motor tasks.
Mixed cerebral palsy
The different types of cerebral palsy described above are rarely seen as pure clinical forms; Most of the children with cerebral palsy have multiple symptoms with combinations of the various forms of cerebral palsy.
The predominant symptoms and signs of cerebral palsy are related to motor difficulties, which are the consequence of the brain damage. The extension and severity of the brain lesion is the leading factor in the magnitude of the motor deficit. Many of the symptoms observed in these children are related to the primary problem that is impaired motor functions. , it is difficult to describe a clinical picture that will satisfy every child with cerebral palsy because some children may be blind, while others may have normal vision; or some children may have severe cognitive delay while others may have normal or near normal cognitive level. Most of the children with cerebral palsy have multiple symptoms with combinations of the various forms of cerebral palsy. Child with cerebral palsy may have some of the following signs and symptoms:
Achieves developmental milestones, such as crawling, walking, or speaking, later than his/her peers
Feeding and respiratory problems
Crawls in an unusual way
Has abnormal muscle tone - the child will slouch while sitting. Muscle tone refers to a person's automatic ability to tighten and relax muscle when required.
Muscles are stiff and contract abnormally (spastic paralysis)
Has difficulty feeding and sucking
Favors one side of the body over the other
Lethargy and coma depending on the severity
Has overdeveloped or underdeveloped muscles (has floppy or stiff movements)
Bad coordination and balance (ataxia)
Involuntary, slow writing movements
Hearing problems
Gastric disorders
Has problems swallowing
Range of movements is limited and etc.
A definitive test for cerebral palsy (CP) does not exist at this time. Doctors diagnose CP by testing the infant's motor skills, looking for characteristic symptoms and considering the child's medical history.
Brain-imaging study can reveal areas of damage or abnormal development in the brain. These tests may include computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to look for abnormalities in the infant's brain. If your child has had seizures, your doctor may advise an electroencephalogram (EEG) to determine if he or she has epilepsy, which often occurs in people with cerebral palsy.
Role of homeopathy in Cerebral Palsy
Homeopathy can help in majority of cases of Cerebral Palsy. Children with mild and moderate damage are the best helped by homeopathy. The improvement in most cases starts within first few months of starting treatment. The earlier the age, the better is the result in cerebral palsy in children.
After starting our treatment, we see good results in delayed milestones of such children if any. Homeopathy improves neuromuscular abilities, so motor milestones start appearing faster. Homeopathy improves in neck holding, sitting and gait of the cerebral palsy children.
Our medicines also improve the mental intelligence of such children. Dr Choudhary strongly recommends Homeopathy for cerebral palsy children as he has got excellent results in treating the Cerebral Palsy children.

Is Valiant Still Aligned with Sony?
With the preeminence of Marvel Studios and to a lesser extent, DC Films, people can perhaps be forgiven for forgetting that Marvel and DC aren't the only players in town.
There's Dark Horse (Time Cop) who's rebooting Hellboy but there's also Valiant Comics, which have been seemingly preparing to make a movie to feature films for awhile.
Valiant were aligned with Sony, though that was under prior management; now they're under control of DMG Entertainment and it's CEO, Dan Mintz.
This is a particularly relevant question, especially considering that Sony seems to be emphasizing Spider-Man (and other Spiderverse characters like Venom, Black Cat and Silver Sable) while they could perhaps be building a cinematic universe of their own, independent of Marvel Studios.

FRIDAY the 13th might be unlucky for some – but animal rescue staff in Edinburgh are hoping to change that this year.
And it's the fortunes of some of their unluckiest residents which the Scottish SPCA is aiming to transform as the charity looks to rehome pets which have been in their care for longer than most.
Among them is Balerno staffie Buster, who has been looked after by the charity for almost two years.
Buster came into the charity's care along with two other dogs, which according to staff "hadn't had the best start in life".
Despite the two other dogs that he came with having been rehomed very quickly, unfortunately Buster wasn't so lucky.
Staff at Balerno said this was "very unusual" for a dog in their care and although Buster has had to have his tail removed after it burst open several times due to excessive wagging, the pooch is said to "adore attention" and is "always looking to play and have a cuddle".
Scottish SPCA superintendent Sharon Comrie urged anyone who thinks they might be able to give Buster a loving new home to get in touch.
She said: "We've got lots of lovely animals looking for their second chance.
But if you're not a dog person it's not just Buster who's on the lookout for a new home, with a number of other animals also in need of help.
Scottish SPCA three years and two months ago as a juvenile corn snake.
His unusual name is not because of Snowflake's colouring – he's actually red and black – but due to the fact he came into the charity's care at Christmas.
For those who favour fluff over scales when it comes to their animals, Pandora the gerbil is another on the hunt for a new owner.
Pandora came to the Scottish SPCA along with 13 other gerbils – most of which have since been rehomed – after they were discovered in a box on a farm.
Ms Comrie added: "She [Pandora] has been with us for nine months which is quite unusual and we know she'd make a great addition to the right family.
Anyone interested should call SPCA's helpline on 03000 999 999.

Utah does not have a minimum contract price threshold for the Little Miller Act to apply. The public payment bond claim laws apply to all projects contracted by any Utah public entity; state, local, municipal, or otherwise.
Additionally, if the public entity fails to require the general contractor to provide a payment bond, certain claimants may make a claim directly against the public entity

https://www.levelset.com/bond-claim/utah-bond-claim-faqs/#faq-item-who-is-protected-under-utahs-public-bond-claim-laws
Who is protected under Utah's public bond claim laws?
In Utah, the parties protected are generally fairly broad, however, it depends on the specific claim made.
Bond claims
For a bond claim, all parties below the general contractor who furnish labor and/or material to the project are protected. Presumably, this means all tiers of subcontractors and suppliers to suppliers are protected.
Claims against the public entity
For a claim against the public body, parties who furnish labor and/or material to the general or a first-tier subcontractor are allowed to make a claim when the public body fails to require the general to secure a payment bond.
https://www.levelset.com/bond-claim/utah-bond-claim-faqs/#faq-item-when-is-the-deadline-to-send-a-utah-bond-claim
When is the deadline to send a Utah bond claim?
Utah does not require any formal bond claim before a lawsuit is filed, however, sending one can initiate the claim process and could help resolve the dispute without litigation. Since this is not required, claimants may want to consider sending the claim within 90 days of the claimant's last date of furnishing labor and/or material to the project.

Notice of the claim against the public entity must be received by the public entity within 90 days from the claimant's last furnishing of labor and/or material to the project.
https://www.levelset.com/bond-claim/utah-bond-claim-faqs/#faq-item-what-information-needs-to-be-included-in-a-utah-bond-claim
What information needs to be included in a Utah bond claim?
Since a formal bond claim isn't required by statute in Utah, providing some general information about the project, the claimant's role and hiring party, and the amount claimed to be due should be sufficient.
A Utah notice of claim against the public entity is governed by Utah Code §14-1-19 and should include the following information:
• Claimant's name & address;
• Property description;
• Amount claimed; &
• Hiring party's name & address.
https://www.levelset.com/bond-claim/utah-bond-claim-faqs/#faq-item-who-should-receive-a-utah-payment-bond-claim
Who should receive a Utah payment bond claim?
If sent, the notice of claim against the payment bond should be provided to the surety and the general contractor who posted the bond.
A Utah claim against the public entity should be sent to the government entity that contracted the construction or improvement.
https://www.levelset.com/bond-claim/utah-bond-claim-faqs/#faq-item-how-must-the-bond-claim-be-sent-in-utah
How must the bond claim be sent in Utah?
Claims against the public entity must be sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid. Since bond claims aren't required by statute, any method of delivery is acceptable; however we recommend sending the claim by certified mail.
https://www.levelset.com/bond-claim/utah-bond-claim-faqs/#faq-item-when-is-the-deadline-to-initiate-suit-or-how-long-is-a-utah-bond-claim-effective
When is the deadline to initiate suit, or, how long is a Utah bond claim effective?
Both bond claims, and claims against the public entity must be initiated more than 90 days, but less than 1 year, after the claimant's last furnishing of labor and/or materials to the project. Note that the lawsuit may not be initiated prior to parties receiving either preliminary notice, or notice of the claim as applicable.

Utah Bond Claim Statutes
When you perform work on a state construction project in Utah, and are not paid, you can file a "lien" against the project pursuant to Utah's Little Miller Act. Since the claim is not against the state or county's actual property, but instead against a posted bond, the claim is not really called a "lien" but is more frequently referred to as a "bond claim" or "little miller act claim." Utah's Little Miller Act is found in Utah Code §§14-1-18 – 14-1-20, and §§63G-6a-11101 – 63G-6a-1105, which are reproduced below. Updated as of 2022.

(2) A person described in Subsection (1):
(a) shall have a direct right of action against the state or the political subdivision in any court having jurisdiction in any county in which the contract was to be performed, upon giving written notice to the state or political subdivision within 90 days from the date on which such person performed the last of the labor or supplied the last of the material for which claim is made;

(a) the person has furnished labor, service, equipment, or material for the work provided for in the contract for which the payment bond is furnished under this section; and

As the MMA world awaits the official confirmation of the great Fedor Emelianenko's opponent for his return bout at New Year Eve's Rizin Fighting Federation (RFF), it appears that the promotion's initial plans have been overruled for the time being.
A report surfaced earlier this year that "The Last Emperor" was surprisingly taking on kickboxer Jaideep Singh, who holds a 2-0 MMA record. Singh was last seen beating Carlos Toyota with a second round TKO at October 17's Deep 73 Impact. Despite winning the vacant megaton title in a fight he took on three days' notice, Rizin officials were not impressed with Singh's performance according to a report from MMA Fighting.
The impromptu fight was booked to make him look impressive so he could face Emelianenko, but apparently they felt Singh looked out of shape in victory. That translated to difficulty in promoting the match to the Japanese MMA fans, something that they obviously have to focus on in the main event of their first-ever show, which features a three-day extravaganza of fighting culminated in Fedor vs. his yet-to-be-named opponent.
And they want to do so with an opponent that is popular with the Japanese fanbase more than anything else, as the 28-year-old Singh was thought to have just that with his half-Japanese background and victory in the K-1 World Grand Prix in Seoul.
However, now names like former UFC heavyweight Shawn Jordan, whose contract expired after his last fight, recently retired UFC vet Soa Palelei, and even long retired UFC legend Randy Couture have been thrown into the mix.
Who do you think Fedor should face in his first bout in over three years?

Boda Boda Madness:
taxi drivers or superstars?
Images 3 years ago Elodie Lenhardt
Jan Hoek takes photographs to create links. The Dutch artist is interested in the unexpected, revealing itself during a shooting. With Boda Boda Madness, he presents surreal portraits of motorcycle-taxi drivers in Nairobi.
One day, following up on an ad to find models, Jan Hoek found himself in the house of a sixty year-old man – a person he would never have met under other circumstances. "This is when I knew I wanted to be a photographer", he tells us. Since then, he has been using his camera to contact people he does not know and try to seize their reality. Far from the traditional photographer/subject approach, the Dutch artist is interested in what happens between his model and him, the result of their expectations. "I find it highly important to collaborate with the people I meet. The start of a project is also based on their desires." Often, the reality of photoshoots are much different to what he had in mind, and the subject then becomes a creator.
Nairobi's coolest motorcycle
Boda Boda Madness started from a common wish he shared with Kenyan-Ugandan fashion designer Bobbin Case. In Nairobi, the Boda Boda (motorcycle-taxi) drivers customise their vehicles to attract clients. The two friends had the idea to create outfits that would match their motorcycles. "All the Boda Boda drivers want to have Nairobi's coolest motorcycle. We wanted to represent them as superstars", Jan explains. As in all good collaborations, the two artists listened to the wishes of all drivers. "The rasta pilot wanted a helmet through which his dreadlocks would still be visible. So we pierced two holes in it". Those portraits form a delicious and unexpected creation, where each detail matters. Reality of fantasy? One may wonder, looking at these superheroes.

Q: Rust, type definition of vector of tuples I am following the excism rust track, and I've hit a problem (I'm very, very new to rust)
This is a function to calculate the pythagorean triples of an integer:
use std::collections::HashSet;
use rayon::prelude::*;

pub fn find(sum: u32) -> HashSet<[u32; 3]> {
    let a_b_plus_c: Vec<(u32; 2)> = (1_u32..(sum / 3_u32)).into_par_iter()
        .filter_map(|a| {
            let b_plus_c: u32 = sum - a;

            let whole_number_check: Option<u32> = (b_plus_c.pow(2) - a.pow(2)).checked_rem(b_plus_c * 2);

            match whole_number_check {
                Some(0) => Some((a, b_plus_c)),
                Some(_) => None,
                None => None,
            }
        }).collect::<Vec<(u32; 2)>>();

    a_b_plus_c.into_par_iter().filter_map(|a, b_plus_c| {
        let b: u32 = (b_plus_c.pow(2) - a.pow(2))/(b_plus_c * 2);
        let c: u32 = b_plus_c - b;

        match b {
            b if b > a => [a, b, c]
            _ => None,
        }}
        ).collect::<HashSet<[u32; 3]>>();

}

Or rather, it would be if it worked...
The current issue is in the line:
let a_b_plus_c: Vec<(u32; 2)> = (1_u32..(sum / 3_u32)).into_par_iter()

It says that it expected one of a number of symbols when parsing the type for a_b_plus_c, but found ;. From everything that I've seen (not much), this is the correct way to define a vector of tuples, each of which has two elements of type u32.
As I said, this is a learning exercise for me, so if anybody could help me out, I would be grateful for verbose and detailed answers :)
For what it's worth, as it might help you to comment on my code, this is the maths:
a + b + c = sum
a² + b² = c²
Rearrange for b:
b = ((b + c)² - a²) / (2(b + c))
So, iterate through a to get b+c, since (b+c) = sum - a
Then solve the above equation to get a, b+c, and b
Confirm that a < b
Then solve for c:
c = (b + c) - b

It should then spit them all out into a HashSet of arrays of a,b,c

A: You should enumerate each tuple's element type in definition. This should work:
let a_b_plus_c: Vec<(u32, u32)> = (1_u32..(sum / 3_u32)).into_par_iter()

"Back-to-school Mac sales once again easily outgrew Windows PCs this year, even though Apple did not offer a free iPod touch and discontinued its education-focused white MacBook this summer," Neil Hughes reports for AppleInsider.
Hey guys. His is good news. Outstanding news. It wasn't long ago when the MS pawn who call themselves journalist were ready to bury Apple on educational purchases. Saying DELL from HELL is killing Apple in educational sales.
These analysts are hilarious! "Consumers are very smart"? Wow! Then how explain the years of putting up with crashing, viruses, etc. And it wasn't because of "best value". Even pro-Microsoft Gartner blew that apart years ago. The element of truth – consumers are, at last, waking up.

Archbishops call for politicians to 'honour the truth' in general election campaigns

The Archbishops of Canterbury and York have issued an appeal to voters and politicians to 'honour the gift of truth' during the general election campaign.
The Most Rev Justin Welby and Dr John Sentamu said everyone had a duty to "speak accurately and challenge falsehoods" when engaging in political debate.
In a joint pastoral letter to the Church of England, they urged people to discuss issues "with humility and in love" while acknowledging those who hold different views "are not our enemies".
The archbishops also drew on the example of Jesus to call for people to put "the vulnerable and those of the edges of society" while calling on all parties to commit to tacking climate change.
At the same time, they called on the parties to make it an "absolute priority" to offer to reassurance to those groups, including in Jewish and Muslim communities, who felt threatened and were in "much anxiety" at the current time.
In the letter, which they hope will be shared in local churches during the campaign, the archbishops stressed the need for issues to be debated "respectfully" and without resorting to personal abuse.
"As followers of Jesus Christ each of us is called to honour the gift of truth, both to speak it and to seek it," they said.
"We all have a responsibility to speak accurately, to challenge falsehoods when we hear them, and to be careful to separate facts from opinion.
"Offering facts and opinions should be done with humility and in love. People who hold different political views are not our enemies.
"Two people can look at the same facts and in good faith interpret them very differently."
They added they wanted to see the politicians "unite rather than divide", rebuilding trust in politics and institutions.
"As Jesus did, through his birth in poverty, his actions and words and his warning of judgment for those who seek only their own well-being, we must put the vulnerable and those on the edges of society first," they said.
The added: "That includes justice for the oppressed, protection for the persecuted, and a commitment to combat climate change and adapt to its effects.
"It also includes a just economic system, open and encouraging to aspiration and ambition, supportive of those who struggle."

The Scarlet Plague
Genre: Science Fiction
A terrifying post-apocalyptic novel by the renowned nineteenth-century American author of The Call of the Wild and White Fang.
Set in 2073, this classic science fiction novel begins sixty years after a devastating epidemic wipes out most of humanity. James Howard Smith, one of the only survivors from the San Francisco area who remembers life before the plague, tries to impart the value of his wisdom to his grandsons as his time on Earth grows ever shorter.
Knowing only the savage world in which they have been raised, the feral boys cannot comprehend the scientific and technological wonders of a time before the Red Death and they mock their grandfather's indecipherable babble. A despairing Smith can only fear for the future of humanity . . .
"Jack London uses a speculative scenario in a world far removed from our own to teach us a lot of things about ourselves and our own lives." —Book Dirt
"A charming pleasure . . . I was left with a feeling of wanting more. . . . As a matter of fact, I enjoyed this one so much that I hope to soon read London's first novel in the field of the fantastic, the pre-history outing Before Adam." —Fantasy Literature

Moroccan attacks on Sultana Khaya: JFA expresses its "deep indignation"
Algiers, 5 December 2021 (SPS) - The Algerian Feminist Journal (JFA) has expressed its "deep indignation" at the inhumane assaults, rapes and violence against Sahrawi human rights activist Sultana Khaya Sid Ibrahim, a victim of sexual assaults with her sisters and mother.
In a statement posted on its official Facebook page, the JFA affirmed that "the crimes against the activist for the Sahrawi people's right to self-determination are unforgivable", calling on "all local and international organisations and institutions to take action and demand the accompaniment of the activist and her family in order to prosecute the attackers".
Condemning "strongly" the violations suffered by Sultana Khaya, the Journal expressed its unconditional solidarity with the victims.
The JFA noted the need for all States to respect their commitments in terms of respect for human rights and individual and collective freedoms, while upholding and respecting the right of peoples to self-determination.
"Rape as a weapon of oppression and war is one of the oldest colonial practices to be combated through all possible mechanisms," wrote the JFA. (SPS)

Vice President Mike Pence went to Newport Beach on Monday afternoon for a Republican congressional fundraiser. So did a group of demonstrators protesting against him.
About 30 people gathered at the base of the entrance road to The Resort at Pelican Hill, where Pence was to appear at the fundraiser, and waved signs and chanted slogans covering a range of issues, from disapproval of U.S. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher and President Trump to gun control, women's rights and fascism. Many signs mentioned kneeling, a reference to Pence's walking out of a San Francisco 49ers-Indianapolis Colts NFL game on Sunday in protest of players taking a knee during the national anthem.

Up the hill, Pence was at a fundraising luncheon that cost guests $2,700 a plate or $10,000 for a photo opportunity.
"We feel like that's the opposite of draining the swamp," Horgan said.
A shirtless man was arrested by Newport Beach police after a heated verbal exchange with the protesters.
Near the Pelican Grill restaurant, there was little evidence that the vice president was on the premises. Most of the visible activity was by people setting up for an unrelated charity function.

Alex Peykoff of Newport Beach said he learned about the high-profile visitor when he asked at the front desk after seeing the protesters. Peykoff, a lifelong Republican, expressed reservations about Trump, preferring Pence.
"I think Pence would be a better choice than the erraticness of our current president," Peykoff said.
Pence previously had planned to make his Newport appearance in September but rescheduled because of hurricane recovery efforts in Texas and Florida.
