When the Geospatial Data Act was first reintroduced to Congress in May of 2017, it received enormous pushback from the geospatial industry. Many working in GIS and other related fields were vocal about the perceived detriment to the GIS industry if the Act passed as it was originally worded (see: Be Aware of the Proposed Geospatial Data Act (GDA) of 2017). On GIS Day (November 15, 2017), an updated version of the Geospatial Data Act of 2017 was released to both the House (H.R.4395) and Senate (S.2128). The revised Act addressed many of the concerns which Anthony Calamito, Chief Geospatial Officer of Boundless, outlined in his article, "Is the Newly Revised Geospatial Data Act Worth Supporting?" The Act was passed by both chambers on October 3 and on October 5, 2018, the Geospatial Data Act of 2018 (GDA) was signed into law by the President as part of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Reauthorization Act (H.R. 302) Subtitle F of Title VII.
The reaction to the Act's passage by various leading GIS companies and organizations has been positive. Here are some of the statements produced in response to the passage.
After considering input from a variety of stakeholders, including the AAG, House and Senate committees finally settled on a streamlined bill stripped of the damaging provisions that would have limited federal procurement of geospatial data and services to a small segment of the geospatial community. AAG is proud to have taken the lead on helping to forge a balanced approach for the GDA, resulting in a bill which is inclusive of the broader geography and geospatial communities. We commend the bipartisan efforts of the bill's cosponsors, Senators Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and Mark Warner (D-VA) and Congressmen Bruce Westerman (R-AR) and Seth Moulton (D-MA), and look forward to following progress of its implementation.
This legislation will save U.S. taxpayers millions of dollars as it allows government agencies to better coordinate with one another, to prevent duplication, and to procure geospatial expertise, technology, services, and data from across the full range of the dynamic and rapidly growing U.S. geographic and geospatial community. The GDA also establishes procedures and guidance for two critical federal organizations, the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) and the National Geospatial Advisory Committee (NGAC), of which AAG Executive Director Doug Richardson is a member.
With the recent passing of the Geospatial Data Act, the government finally recognizes and acknowledges the importance of geospatial technology and data by codifying the existence of the Federal Geographic Data Committee. Their work over the years has been extremely important across all levels of government – federal, state and local. While it remains to be seen how effective the current FDGC will be in practice, I hope, as the Act stipulates, that it will leverage shared resources among federal agencies and foster cost-effectiveness. Equally as important, GeoPlatform.gov should become a model for data marketplaces everywhere and expose more of the vast data library within the federal government.
The Act appears to empower NGAC (https://www.fgdc.gov/ngac/ngac-membership.pdf) and we would want to ensure that the voice of the industry as a whole is being heard in that regard.
Agreeing to a common vision will make it easier for federal, state, and local agencies to integrate location data into widespread practice, no matter their size. The passage of this bill presents new and exciting opportunities for the public and private sectors, universities, organizational stakeholders, and the public to strengthen the geoplatform and ensure geospatial data is made more widely available to support government programs.
NSGIC celebrates the passage of the Geospatial Data Act to address an issue the GIS community has been working on for decades – coordinating at the national level the acquisition and access of geospatial data for the public good. A true shared national spatial data infrastructure must be built and maintained by multiple levels of government, academia, nonprofits, and the private sector. The Geospatial Data Act authorizes the collaborative governance structure to provide decision-making and development direction together.
The wide support for the GDA reflects growing recognition of the essential role of geospatial data and technology and highlights the need to support their continuing development as critical infrastructure. Collaborative relationships and partnerships are fundamental components of the GDA and the National Spatial Data Infrastructure, and we look forward to continued engagement with our partner organizations as we address the requirements of the Act.
In the coming weeks and months, we will be working with FGDC agencies and with partners to develop thoughtful implementation strategies for the GDA. The GDA includes new responsibilities and processes, and will change the way that we manage geospatial programs across government. We are committed to working collaboratively to implement the GDA in an effective manner. We will continue to keep you informed as we work through the implementation process. We have set up a new page on the FGDC website, www.fgdc.gov/geospatial-data-act, where we will post updates and information about the implementation of the Act.

Teaching children to be resilient could be key to their future mental health

Poor mental health among young people is on the rise in the UK, while access to support and treatment remains patchy. There is now a pressing need to build resilience in young people to minimise their risk of poor mental health later on, as our latest report argues.
There are 12.5m young people in England, and one in ten will experience poor mental health. Half of all lifelong mental health problems start before the age of 14, but only one in four young people uses mental health services. An extra 23,800 staff, at a cost of £1.77 billion, is needed so that every young person who needs mental health support can get it. In the short term, though, this is unrealistic.
Image: Birmingham University
Treatment gap
To address this treatment gap, we need to invest in building young people's resilience in order to minimise their risk of developing poor mental health in the first place. A recent study from Wales showed that people with high resilience in childhood are less than half as likely to develop a mental health condition, compared with those who have low resilience during childhood. The early years, before the age of 18, are the best time to build resilience as it provides lifelong mental health benefits.
Resilience is the ability to deal with life's challenges and stresses in a healthy and positive way. This involves drawing on personal resources, such as the ability to manage anxiety and negative thoughts, as well as social resources, such as having positive relationships with family, friends and adults, including teachers.
Social and economic circumstances also affect a child's ability to develop resilience. Children from low-income families are much more likely to experience poor mental health, compared with children from high-income families.

Preventing poor mental health in childhood and in later life needs a two-pronged approach. First, parents need support so they can provide a secure home for their children. Alongside this, parents, schools and youth organisations need to help children develop positive relationships and teach them how to deal with relationship problems and other difficulties in life.
Second, we need to minimise the risk to children's mental health. These risks include all forms of abuse, poverty and other negative experiences during childhood, such as being bullied. Positive relationships with family members, friends, teachers and other adults can act as a buffer against these negative experiences.
Investing in prevention would save the government, the NHS, education, the criminal justice system and employers money in the long run, so investing in the resilience of children should be everybody's business.
While there have been repeated calls for action over the past ten years, progress has been sluggish. Many areas lack a strategy, and investment in preventative activity is often short term.
Planning for a resilient generation requires public health to work with health, education, parents, young people and other partners. Together they need to identify the actions they can take for the whole population as well as for those groups that are particularly at risk. And they will need to prioritise what to invest in. There is good evidence for specific interventions that will improve mental health and deliver an early payback on the investment. For example, providing social and emotional learning in schools can achieve a saving of £5 for every £1 invested over a three-year period.
Local government also needs to take action to ensure that vulnerable families and young people have a secure income, housing and access to health, education and employment. This includes a concerted effort to reduce the harm caused by negative childhood experiences, such as abuse, and by focusing on young people who are particularly at risk of poor mental health, as is the case with young people who have been in care.
Even with a robust resilience programme, there will always be young people who experience poor mental health, so it's still important to respond quickly to the first signs of distress. This has implications for all of us in knowing how to respond well and how to access the right support.

Why early childhood education is a good start
Mental health services for young people have long waiting lists and we need to develop accessible and friendly one-stop-shop services that can better meet their needs, such as the Australian organisation, Headspace, a national youth mental health service, designed with input from young people.
Building resilience, minimising risks to mental health and ensuring effective support is available has the potential to halve the number of children experiencing poor mental health within a generation. The benefits of this will be realised not only by young people and their families but also by wider society and the economy.
Investing in the resilience of young people is everybody's business. It is time for the hand-wringing about the poor mental health of children and young people to stop and for action to be taken. A first step is for investment in the resilience of children and young people to be a clear priority for government and public services.

MixedBag is another development studio gearing up for its Nintendo eShop debut, having announced its intentions in early 2014. One of its planned releases is the intriguing forma.8, but first up will be Futuridium EP Deluxe, which is increasingly close to its Wii U arrival.
The studio also followed up on queries around the New 3DS version, which will utilise the upgraded portable's Unity support - it's progressing well but needs a little longer in development.
Are you looking forward to trying this one?
Looks a bit like SpeedX3D or whatever it's called. Is there a multiplayer mode?
Might check it out when it comes to 3DS.
It's got my interest. Reminds me of games from 1993 like cybermorph (jaguar), starfighter (3DO) silpheed (Sega CD) annnnnd - what's the other one??? - oh right! Star fox! Back when polygons were all the craze.
Looks like something tailor made for me. Looking forward to it.
Kinda reminds me of the look/style of the original Star Fox on SNES.
I can still imagine what a modern version of SNES Star Fox could look like running in 1080p, 60fps, with a near infinite draw distance (or basically no visible popup/pop-in), and a really high poly count on the models (like actually fully 3D modelling the windows and stuff on the buildings on Corneria for example), but still mostly all flat-shaded and basically everything else the same from a design and gameplay point of view.
I think it could look visually stunning (striking), and I'd honestly rather play that than the new Star Fox Zero, based on what I've seen.
Now THAT would get me excited about a new Star Fox game.
This game has a lot of promise, especially with a physical release on PS4 and Vita on the horizon!
May get Wii U version but I'm mostly interested in the new 3DS version ,this is the one of those titles that will look awesome in 3D looking forward to it.., hopefully there are online leaderboards for replay value, fingers crossed.
I love Uridium, but this doesn't look much like it. Still looking forward.
@elric257 this is on the vita then why I need the new 3ds version or get both.
Is this going to release in North America? I don't believe a North American release has been reported anywhere so I'm a bit curious.
There was a game on philips CDi similar to this.
I'll wait for the 3DS version. Want to see this in 3D.
Looks good. I'll get this at launch to support the dev as well.
This looks like the old 1982 Star Wars Arcade Game.
Wait, so it's only for New 3DS? Too bad. It looked fun to me, but I guess I can't get it until my regular 3DS needs replacing.
@ReshiramZekrom It's not really a New 3DS exclusive though as it'll be releasing on the Wii U as well.
When is Lifespeed coming for New 3DS?
Super interested in playing this game in 3D. Count me in!
@Nintendian check Weeman studio's website.


Squash v2 divides a given quantum circuit into a number of quantum modules—each module is divided into k parts such that each part will run on one of k available cores. Then it maps the modules to a multi-core reconfigurable quantum processor architecture, called Requp, which supports a hierarchical approach to mapping a quantum algorithm and ancilla sharing. Each core is capable of performing any quantum instruction.
You may download Squash v2 from here or from my github.
If you intend to use any version of Gurobi other than 6.0.5, you must replace src/libs/gurobi.jar with the one provided in the version you have (located in the "lib" directory) and recompile the project.
Squash v2 can be run on MacOS X, Windows, or Linux. The only restriction is that 64-bit versions of these OSes are supported.
Note: If you intend to use any version of Gurobi other than 6.0.5, you must replace src/libs/gurobi.jar with the one provided in the version you have (located in the "lib" directory) and recompile the project.
Run the following command to perform the mapping.
Note: Make sure to use -Xss100m in order to allocate more stack to Squash.

The Sentimental Citizen
Emotion in Democratic Politics
George E. Marcus
"George Marcus deserves thanks and praise for reminding us that emotional communication and arousal are the lifeblood of politics. Leaders who ignore the primacy of voters' feelings are doomed to failure. Voters and political scientists who imagine that politics is a question of purely 'rational choice' are bound to be astonished by what actually happens. To gain a better understanding of how our emotions shape contemporary politics, this volume is must reading." —Roger D. Masters, Dartmouth College
Winner of a 2003 Choice Award for an Outstanding Academic Title Winner of a 2003 AAUP Book, Jacket and Journal Show for Jacket Design.
This book challenges the conventional wisdom that improving democratic politics requires keeping emotion out of it. Marcus advances the provocative claim that the tradition in democratic theory of treating emotion and reason as hostile opposites is misguided and leads contemporary theorists to misdiagnose the current state of American democracy. Instead of viewing the presence of emotion in politics as a failure of rationality and therefore as a failure of citizenship, Marcus argues, democratic theorists need to understand that emotions are in fact a prerequisite for the exercise of reason and thus essential for rational democratic deliberation and political judgment. Attempts to purge emotion from public life not only are destined to fail, but ultimately would rob democracies of a key source of revitalization and change.
Drawing on recent research in neuroscience, Marcus shows how emotion functions generally and what role it plays in politics. In contrast to the traditional view of emotion as a form of agitation associated with belief, neuroscience reveals it to be generated by brain systems that operate largely outside of awareness. Two of these systems, "disposition" and "surveillance," are especially important in enabling emotions to produce habits, which often serve a positive function in democratic societies. But anxiety, also a preconscious emotion, is crucial to democratic politics as well because it can inhibit or disable habits and thus clear a space for the conscious use of reason and deliberation. If we acknowledge how emotion facilitates reason and is "cooperatively entangled" with it, Marcus concludes, then we should recognize sentimental citizens as the only citizens really capable of exercising political judgment and of putting their decisions into action.
"Why use a neuro-scientific account to explain something as contextual and multifaceted as political judgment? As Marcus persuasively argues, doing so allows us to examine the domain of perceptual existence that isn't fully conscious, yet is present in a way that meaningfully influences our thinking and our actions. His analysis of what this means for democratic politics is careful and intriguing. This nuanced account of how preconscious emotions play a role in creating and sustaining the conditions for reason should be read by all political scientists skeptical of citizen judgment." —Susan Bickford, University of North Carolina
"This book is a must-read for all involved in the study of human political behavior." —P. Kriese, Choice
"This last point may serve to illuminate one of the greatest strengths of this book, namely, that The Sentimental Citizen offers us a powerful-indeed nearly irresistible-metaphor for who and what we are.
Indeed Marcus's book can be seen as engaging in some elegant rhetorical maneuvers: it is not only a straightforward statement of a neuroscientific thesis: its action upon the reader illustrates the author's own proposition. That is, the reader becomes, like the mind described in the book, a helpless witness to the emotional systems that surround him or her." —James Martel, Political Theory

GTD Colloquium: 'Between Rootedness and Rootlessness: Liberia, Migration and Dual Citizenship'
February 6, 2019 · by macimide · in
Grote Gracht 80-82, Spiegelzaal (Soiron Building) Maastricht
Grote Gracht 90-92 - Maastricht
Topic: 'Between Rootedness and Rootlessness: Liberia, Migration and Dual Citizenship'
Participant: Robtel Pailey (University of Oxford)
Abstract:Within the last decade alone, large-scale emigration has emboldened approximately half of all African states to adopt constitutional reforms granting dual citizenship, with some provisions more limited than others. Given Liberia's post-war prominence in the African Union (AU), Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and Mano River Union (MRU), it remains an important case study on the challenges of consolidating extraterritorial citizenship because of mounting pressure to harmonize its citizenship laws with regional institutions. In this article, I argue that historical and contemporary migration to/from Liberia configured and reconfigured the country's citizenship norms, thereby generating roots for some, routes for others, and a transnational impasse on dual citizenship. Further, I demonstrate that ordinary Liberians' notions of rootedness and rootlessness have simultaneously facilitated the introduction and postponement in the passage of a contested dual citizenship bill. While the proposed bill is an attempt to reconcile the (forced) migration of hundreds of thousands before, during, and after intermittent armed conflict in Liberia, it has been postponed because, for some, naturalization abroad signifies a rejection of the fundamental tenets of 'Liberian citizenship' as being rooted in a singular national identity. Using empirical evidence based on interviews with over 200 Liberians in urban centres in West Africa, North America and Europe, I discuss how the divergent citizenship status choices of respondents represent a continuum of nomadic and sedentarist metaphysical thinking thereby simultaneously strengthening and challenging claims for dual citizenship.:

The Potential for Distributed Generation in Japanese Prototype Buildings: A DER-CAM Analysis of Policy, Tariff Design, Building Energy Use, and Technology Development
Zhou, Nan, Chris Marnay, Ryan M. Firestone, Weijun Gao, Masaru Nishida
The August 2003 blackout of the northeastern U.S. and CANADA caused great economic losses and inconvenience to New York City and other affected areas. The blackout was a warning to the rest of the world that the ability of conventional power systems to meet growing electricity demand is questionable. Failure of large power systems can lead to serious emergencies. Introduction of on-site generation, renewable energy such as solar and wind power and the effective utilization of exhaust heat is needed, to meet the growing energy demands of the residential and commercial sectors. Additional benefit can be achieved by integrating these distributed technologies into distributed energy resource (DER) systems. This work demonstrates a method for choosing and designing economically optimal DER systems. An additional purpose of this research is to establish a database of energy tariffs, DER technology cost and performance characteristics, and building energy consumption for Japan. This research builds on prior DER studies at the Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and with their associates in the Consortium for Electric Reliability Technology Solutions (CERTS) and operation, including the development of the microgrid concept, and the DER selection optimization program, the Distributed Energy Resources Customer Adoption Model (DER-CAM). DER-CAM is a tool designed to find the optimal combination of installed equipment and an idealized operating schedule to minimize a site's energy bills, given performance and cost data on available DER technologies, utility tariffs, and site electrical and thermal loads over a test period, usually an historic year. Since hourly electric and thermal energy data are rarely available, they are typically developed by building simulation for each of six end use loads used to model the building: electric-only loads, space heating, space cooling, refrigeration, water heating, and natural-gas-only loads. DER-CAM provides a global optimization, albeit idealized, that shows how the necessary useful energy loads can be provided for at minimum cost by selection and operation of on-site generation, heat recovery, cooling, and efficiency improvements.

HP today announced the imminent release of webOS 2.0 and Palm Pre 2. webOS 2.0 is both the first major update to the webOS smartphone platform, and the first major webOS release by HP since the company bought Palm in April this year. Like the original Palm Pre, the Palm Pre 2 will be a CDMA phone. Unlike the first model, which was exclusive to Sprint, the new Phone will launch on Verizon.
The new operating system features are evolutionary rather than revolutionary, and webOS 2.0 will build on the strengths of webOS 1. webOS offered full multitasking; webOS 2.0 improves management of multiple running applications by allowing related tasks to be grouped together. webOS provided a unified view of contacts whether they were from Exchange, Facebook, LinkedIn or various other services; webOS 2.0 makes this system pluggable, so that any web service can integrate seamlessly. The unified messaging client will be able to speak to more messaging services, adding Yahoo! Messenger support.
webOS 2.0 will also include beta support for Flash 10.1, and improved programmability through integration of the popular node.js JavaScript-based runtime environment.
The post-Pre Pre
Hardware-wise, the Palm Pre 2 is an evolved version of the Palm Pre. The processor speed has been boosted to 1 GHz and the design is a little sleeker, but it's a clear derivative of the existing Pre, and retains the vertical slider keyboard design. Two versions will be sold, a CDMA version and a UMTS version. The UMTS model will be on sale in France this Friday. The CDMA version will be exclusive to Verizon, with a release date in the coming months. This model will also be available in Canada, though no carrier details or release date are available at this time. Verizon customers will also have an exclusive Skype Mobile application, allowing Skype calls and messaging.
The UMTS model will also be available in the US as an unlocked developer handset. Pricing still hasn't been announced yet, but this will allow developers to buy a device for testing their applications without having to buy a corresponding phone contract.
The Palm Pre 2 will ship with webOS 2.0. HP says that existing users of webOS devices will receive an over-the-air update to the new version in the coming months.
A ray of hope
For those webOS fans out there, on the whole this announcement is good news. webOS's future as a smartphone platform is still not entirely clear, and talk of webOS printers soon after the acquisition didn't inspire confidence. Updated hardware, updated software, and new relationships with carriers should assuage many fears. webOS 2.0 and the Palm Pre 2 both appear to be solid upgrades; not radical, but nonetheless worthy. The introduction of a developer handset is also encouraging. Palm struggled to get developers on board, and one thing that can stand in the way of dabbling in a new phone platform is the need to take out an expensive contract for each test handset. Offering unlocked, contract-free hardware solves that problem.
A little less encouraging is HP's reticence on pricing and availability. The new phone and operating system will be shipping in just a few days in France, so the lack of specific availability information for both the new phone and the software upgrade for existing customers is a little disappointing. There may also be some disquiet among current Sprint (Palm Pre) and AT&T (Palm Pre Plus) users with the announcement that the new handset will be available on Verizon—it means that anyone who likes webOS and wants to upgrade will have to switch carriers, which is perhaps not the best way to reward those who have already committed to the platform.

Jury finds Ghislaine Maxwell guilty of sex trafficking a minor for Jeffrey Epstein and four other charges
Posted: Dec 29, 2021 9:21 AM EST
Updated: Dec 29, 2021 8:20 PM EST
The jury in Ghislaine Maxwell's sex trafficking case will resume deliberations on December 29.
By Lauren del Valle, Steve Almasy and Ray Sanchez, CNN
(CNN) -- A jury in a New York federal court has found Ghislaine Maxwell guilty on five of six counts related to her role in Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse of minor girls between 1994 and 2004.
Maxwell, 60, was found guilty of five federal charges: sex trafficking of a minor, transporting a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity and three related counts of conspiracy.
She was acquitted on the charge of enticing a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts.
Maxwell, who now faces up to 65 years in prison, showed no reaction when the verdicts were read. Judge Alison Nathan did not set a sentencing date.

"The road to justice has been far too long. But, today, justice has been done," US Attorney Damian Williams said in a statement. "I want to commend the bravery of the girls -- now grown women -- who stepped out of the shadows and into the courtroom. Their courage and willingness to face their abuser made this case, and today's result, possible."
The jury, which was made up of six women and six men, deliberated for about 40 hours across parts of six days.
Prosecutors argued Maxwell and Epstein conspired to set up a scheme to lure young girls into sexual relationships with Epstein from 1994 to 2004 in New York, Florida, New Mexico and the US Virgin Islands. Four women testified during the trial that Epstein abused them and that Maxwell facilitated the abuse and sometimes participated in it as well.
Her defense, meanwhile, said she was a "scapegoat" for Epstein's actions and attacked the memories and motivations of the women who say they were sexually abused.
Maxwell's lawyers are working on an appeal, attorney Bobbi C. Sternheim said.
"We firmly believe in Ghislaine's innocence. Obviously, we are very disappointed with the verdict," Sternheim said, adding her team believes Maxwell still will be vindicated.
The trial, which began November 29, alternated between disturbing testimony from sexual abuse victims and illuminating testimony about some of Epstein's connections to some high-profile celebrities.
Annie Farmer, one of four accusers who testified, said Wednesday she hopes the verdicts bring solace to the victims.
"I am so relieved and grateful that the jury recognized the pattern of predatory behavior that Maxwell engaged in for years and found her guilty of these crimes," she said. "She has caused hurt to many more women than the few of us who had the chance to testify in the courtroom."
Epstein, who pleaded guilty in 2008 to state prostitution charges, was indicted on federal sex trafficking charges in July 2019 but died by suicide in prison a month later. Maxwell, his confidante and former girlfriend, was arrested a year afterward and has been held in jail since.
It remains to be seen whether others will be prosecuted. CNN legal analyst Elie Honig, a former prosecutor in the district where Maxwell was tried, said this was not a two-person operation.
He pointed to civil lawsuits that link others to the abuse.
"I think prosecutors have a real obligation to dig all the way down to the bottom, and bring anyone else who may have been part of this to justice," he said.
Maxwell also faces two pending perjury charges related to a 2016 civil deposition.
What happened at the trial
The prosecution's case rested primarily on four women with personal stories of Maxwell's role facilitating Epstein's abuse.
Jane, testifying under a pseudonym, said Maxwell organized sexual massages with Epstein and sometimes joined in the abuse. The charges of enticing -- on which Maxwell was acquitted -- and transporting relate to testimony solely from her.
Carolyn testified that when she was 14, Maxwell touched her breasts, hips and buttocks and told her she "had a great body for Epstein and his friends." The child sex trafficking count -- the most serious of all the charges -- relates to her testimony.
"Kate" testified Maxwell invited her over and directed her how to give Epstein a sexual massage. She said Maxwell spoke often of sexual topics with her and asked Kate to invite other young girls for Epstein's sexual desires.
The jury was instructed it could not convict Maxwell on any of the counts based solely on testimony from Kate as she was over the age of consent at the time of the events.
Jurors could consider Kate's allegations in addition to testimony from Jane, Carolyn and Farmer.
Farmer, the only accuser to testify by her full name, said that she was 16 when Maxwell massaged her naked chest at Epstein's New Mexico ranch in 1996.
Prosecutors sought to closely link Maxwell and Epstein and said her actions normalizing sexual massages were crucial to his international abuse scheme at his properties in New York, Florida, New Mexico and the US Virgin Islands.

Q: The generality of "neusis plus" Consider the following progression of facts relating to geometric construction with a limited set of tools:

*

*With only a compass and unmarked straightedge, we can only construct numbers that lie in a tower of degree-$2$ field extensions of the rational numbers. We can only take square roots, and we cannot construct the heptagon.

*If we place two marks separated by a distance of $1$ on the straightedge, we obtain neusis. If we only place the marks on straight lines, the tower of extensions can now include degree-$3$ extensions. We can take cube roots, trisect the angle and construct the heptagon, but not the hendecagon.

*If we now allow placing the marks on a line and a circle or on two circles, degree-$5$ and $6$ extensions are available. We can construct the hendecagon.
And so this question is about the logical next step in the progression.

Suppose we can now transfer the distance between any two constructed points back onto the straightedge. Using this "neusis plus" system, can we construct all algebraic numbers? If not, what degrees of field extensions can we achieve?

To illustrate the process of making new marks on the straightedge, suppose you have constructed two points separated by $\sqrt2$. You can place the straightedge against those two points and, with a fine pencil, draw short lines from the points onto your straightedge. These marks are separated by exactly $\sqrt2$ and can be used for later neusis steps.

A: We do not have a complete answer because we do not know the full range of neusis itself.  However, based on the question it appears that the "plus" will have only limited capability to extend the constructibility domain.

*

*For the case of verging between two straight lines, you can construct a length ratio iff this ratio is in a 2,3-tower over the rationals.  If we record such length ratios on the ruler then we can construct ratios in a 2,3-tower over the recorded lengths.  But this is the same as the original 2,3-tower over the rationals.  So the extra marks have no effect on the constructible domain.

*When verging to one or two circles is allowed, all constructible ratios with neusis alone lie in a 5-6-tower over the rationals.  (This includes quintic solutions, since a quintic equation may be solved in terms of a resolvent sextic, as well as 2,3-towers where 2 and 3 are factors of 6.)  By an argument similar to the above, neusis plus with verging to circles allowed can again construct only ratios on a 5-6-tower over the rationals.  However, in this case we do not know whether neusis alone covers all 5-6-towers, so possibly the "plus" could fill in the "gaps" within the 5-6-towers.
And that's all.  Irreducible equations of prime degree 7 or more remain out of reach.  Example of such inaccessible cases include the regular 23-gon (requiring an 11th-degree solution) and inscribing an irregular pentagon in a circle given its side lengths (7th-degree).

J-Perk, born Jeremy Perkins on January 22nd 1983, prides himself on not being your typical southern rapper. He strives to be a well-rounded musician instead. It's clearly evident in his music that he has more to offer than just a basic one dimensional style also. Born in Louisiana, and raised in Florida, J-Perk definitely has the south in his blood. "When I was growing up, I was listening to everything from Michael Jackson and Earth, Wind and Fire, to the Winans." I have always had a love for music; I never thought that I would ever be dedicating my life to this though." It wasn't until high school that he discovered this hidden talent for writing, both poetry and songs.
Ever since those days of writing lines on occasion, this has slowly grown into a way of life. "This is the only thing I know. I feel as if I'm too close to stop now." Having started to really pursue his music full forth in 2002, this has been a long walk full of gains and losses, that has developed him into a very driven artist. J-Perk has been featured on several OC Records mixtapes over the years starting with "Volume 47" and then going on to be featured on the "Mixtape Murder" Series, "Shut up and Take It" and most recently the "Commence Good Music" mixtape series. He has also begun to branch out on solo ventures by releasing, "The Beginning", and "Bigger-Faster-Stronger", his 2nd solo mixtape which was released in late June 2006. Since this time, he has gone forward and released yet another solo mixtape entitled, "The County Is Mine". Despite having done very little work to date on original music to date, J-Perk has put out several very successful songs from the mixtapes he has been featured on such as, "954 Ya Dig" and "I'm From Lauderdale". Adding to the list of accomplishments that have been achieved relatively early in his career, J-Perk was given a feature spot on Dj Laz's latest album release, " Category 6".


We got engaged at the end of October 2013, after finishing our first marathon. We were sweaty. I was cranky. He almost proposed in front of a row of porta-potties. You can read that story here.
At Christmas, my dear friend Susan gifted us our first tree ornament: a circular medallion that reads, Kelly & Jason, marathon finishers. "You're about to begin the longest marathon of your life, so I thought this would be appropriate!" she wrote.
I thank my God every time I remember Jason. In all my prayers for Jason, I always pray with joy because of his partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in Jason will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
It is right for me to feel this way about Jason, since I have Jason in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, Jason shares in God's grace with me. God can testify how I long for Jason with the affection of Christ Jesus.
And this is my prayer: that Jason's love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that Jason may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Christ Jesus – to the glory and praise of God.
I have my my husband in my heart, and that is right.
He shares in the same grace I do, the same grace I would fall flat on my face (daily) without.
My husband is a partner in the gospel, in God's great story. Not a bystander — a partner. God is working in him, and will complete His work no matter if it takes until kingdom come.
This powerful prayer reminds me that no matter the dirty dishes still in the sink, the disagreements about money, or the lack of Insta-worthy flowers delivered, I'm still thankful for him. He sees my worth when I don't. He tolerates my nagging and my outbursts, and takes me in his arms with an "I love you" when we've run out of mean things to say to each other for the moment. He loves me so well — and not in a Facebook humble brag, re-tweetable, best-Instagram-post-ever way, but in a way that is genuine, compassionate and deeply selfless.
Try this passage out on someone you love. Speak out their name — say it aloud; it's more powerful that way. Thank God that He has given you such a wonderful name to speak out loud, as often as you'd like.
Then get back in your marathon with your beloved.

Thanksgiving makes me giddy. A month before the big day, I sit down with my recipes and plan the most decadent meal.
What's the item I strive ever year to improve? My turkey.
Each year, I try to make a more flavorful and moist bird than the last. Here is my tried and true recipe.
A few years ago, I was watching the food channel and saw one of the chefs talking about brining a bird. The main philosophy here is that you actually seal the outside with a concoction of sugar, salt and water, sealing in the moisture.
When you decide to brine a turkey, make sure you have a large enough pot to fully submerge your bird. One year I didn't have room for a large pot in my refrigerator so I actually put the turkey in a garbage bag, filled the bag with brine, put the entire bag in the roasting pot, and tied it to the top shelf of my fridge so the fowl was fully submerged.
You should keep the carcass in the brine for about 24 hours.
Mix the ingredients together until dissolved.
Although these staples are the key ingredients to making effective brine, for a tastier recipe, I usually add several cloves of crushed garlic, whole peppercorns, a few chopped onions, and seasonings like rosemary, sage, and thyme. Adjust your brine according to your personal tastes.
Before adding to the brine, rinse your bird off in cold water and remove the innards. You can set these aside for later preparation (in a tasty gravy, for example) or throw them away.
Pat the body dry. Put the bird in the pot and pour the mixture over top of it, ensuring that the whole body is submerged.
When you remove the turkey from the brine before cooking, throw away the solution. It's tempting to avoid wasting it, but it will be very salty.
Rinse off your bird again in cold water. Don't worry – you won't wash away the flavor. Pat it dry.
Are you working with pieces instead of a whole turkey? Check out the video above where Rod Grey brines chicken pieces with a Foodsaver.
Another technique exists for this process that removes the water from the process; it is called dry brining.
I always cover the entire carcass in a garlic butter mixture first. I melt about a cup of butter and add garlic, pepper, thyme, basil, and rosemary. Rub inside and out with this flavorful concoction.
Since I cook my turkey slowly at a lower temperature, I do not fill it with stuffing. Low and slow cooking often doesn't reach high enough temperatures to kill harmful bacteria, so the juices that have dripped into your delicious dressing may not be cooked all the way through.
Instead I usually chop up an onion, a few cloves of garlic, and a few carrots, and stuff the center with fresh rosemary, thyme, sage, basil, and parsley. This creates an amazing aroma.
Tie the legs of your bird tightly together with kitchen string or twine, and place it in your roaster. I usually put a half-cup of water in the bottom of the pan so it moistens the bird throughout roasting, and add more as needed.
Roasting is a matter of personal taste. My method involves putting my turkey in an extremely hot oven at about 500°F for about ten minutes to sear the outside of the bird. I leave it uncovered at this time, so the skin turns a light brown color.
After about 10-15 minutes I turn the heat down to about 200°F and cover the turkey tightly with aluminum foil. If you are roasting a smaller turkey or a another form of fowl, one of the better counter-top convention ovens such as the Breville Smart Oven would do a fantastic job with this method (and would speed up the cook time as well).
Since the skin is seared and the brine keeps the moisture in, I don't have to baste the fowl frequently throughout the day. Not only does this give me time to concentrate on other dishes, but I can also keep the tinfoil wrapped tightly around the turkey, preventing moisture from escaping each time I would open the oven to baste.
This method takes a little longer to cook, but you will be left with a moist and flavorful bird. Since I first started slow cooking and brining, I've never been left with a dry turkey.
When the meat is done (180°F in the thigh or dark meat and 165°F in the white meat or breast) pull it out of the oven. Let it sit for about 20 minutes in the foil, preferably on a cutting board with a channel around the edge to catch any juices that leak out. This will give the meat time to reabsorb the moisture.
Any moisture that has escaped is very flavorful because of the brine mixture, the buttery garlic rub, and the fresh herbs inside the bird. To make delectable gravy, simply add a little flour and cook until it is at the thickness that you desire.
Last but not least – enjoy!
I live in Canada and we recently just had Thanksgiving about two weeks ago. Turkey was certainly one of the choices prepared for the food menu. This method using a mixture of water, sugar and salt to keep in the moisture is quite new to me though. Usually I just make sure the turkey is accompanied by all the gravy from the seasoning in its pot and frequently keep it moist with the liquid. Always turns out moist and great tasting.
Any new recipes to make more delicious turkey is definitely welcome in my book, eating the same old turkey every year does get boring. I for one will try to brine my turkey (and maybe some ham as well) for this year's feast!
I have only brined a turkey once but it turned out really well. I will do it again this year. I like adding herbs to my brines as well. The only thing I don't like about it is the space it takes up while brining. That's alright though. I can't wait for Thanksgiving. It is a favorite holiday!
Down here in the south we deep fry our turkeys every year…but last year our good friend had a really serious fire/explosion while frying a turkey and we decided to swear away from that and try making it the old-fashioned way. I'll admit I've never actually cooked a turkey myself but I've been put in charge of the Thanksgiving meal this year. I'm torn between doing it this way or just basting it every so often…and I think this way sounds more convenient. Thanks for the ideas!
I wanted to give a quick update since this comment I made….I recently purchased a turkey to try to do a "practice run" because I am in charge of the meal this year and I've never made turkey before. I was terrified. My father taught me how to clean out the bird and then I followed this guide. The bird brined for about 27 hours. When all was said and done, it came out marvelously! I did over-season it just a tad so I know to cut back on that for the real thing..I'm just so glad I saw this article because now I know that I can make delicious turkey to feed my family this Thanksgiving.
That sound really awesome. Don't suppose you have any pictures that you could post? You can attached them down towards the bottom.
This sounds like a really great idea. I've always been scared to deep fry a turkey because of the horror stories of fires/explosions, and knowing my luck I shouldn't test it. We usually just baste it, but I feel like it's still not very flavorful. I definitely want to try brining it this year, thank you for this suggestion!
I am with mimsee on this one. As a Texan, if I am going to trick up a turkey, I am deep frying it in peanut oil.
This looks like it would probably taste great, but it seems like a lot of work. My goal to upgrade my Thanksgiving presentation this year is to try out a fancy vegetable side dish.
Thank goodness for this recipe!!! Thanksgiving is now less than a month away. And I'm already starting to sweat. My turkey always comes out dry and chewy. And so I promised everyone this holiday season, I'd cook a good one. So, I can't wait to try your recipe. Thanks again.
We don't have Thanksgiving here in the UK but Christmas is fast approaching and I will be ordering a turkey soon for Christmas.
I will pretty much follow most of your tips here this year, we have some traditions of our own but I can definitely use your tips.
If you haven't tried brining your turkey before you cook it you definitely should. We have a recipe that we use every year for Thanksgiving but I don't think it called for sugar. Does the sugar give it a sweet taste when it is cooked?
Hmmm bird! Brining is great — I did not know about moisture, but I remember reading that the flavour your meat is gonna absorb is mostly salt, whereas marinades will not penetrate as much. It also gives a nice crispy skin! Yumm!
I'm so glad I spotted this article, because for the first time in about 15 years, I will be cooking a turkey for a very special family get together we have every year in mid-January. I was feeling a bit worried about how to keep the turkey from drying out, and brining seems to be the best option I've researched. Your brine recipe and instructions will be perfect for me, and I'm feeling much more confident about tackling the job now.
I am also a fan of slow cooking things as I feel this not only gives better flavour, but I am usually able to choose cheaper cuts of meat that are much tastier anyway. Slow cooking gives amazing results, and I will definitely be slow cooking this turkey next week.
I had no idea that soaking the bird in a salt solution could produce results like this. I have always just used roasting bags in the past. I would assume you would need a pretty big pan to soak the turkey in though!
Today I was shopping for Easter dinner & I noticed they had a package of turkey with a brine already inside & I thought to myself, 'This seems like a lot of waste'. How difficult is it really to make your own brine? Is it just the word itself that detours people or sheer laziness? Seemed ridiculous.
It's that time of year again! O.k., maybe not quite yet, but if you have a freezer, are in the U.S., and plan on having a Thanksgiving turkey, maybe it's time to buy one or two, and drop them in the deep freeze, since some predict price increases and shortages, due to the Avian Flu outbreak in at least 4 states.
I watched a television chef brine a turkey one time, which was helpful, but I also need information in front of me that I can read as I go through the process. I love the little tips y'all put in your articles, because they make the process easier, so this will be very helpful if I choose to prepare my turkey this way in the fall.
This has always been on my "must try" list.
Never really found the motivation to get it done the day before.
Now I must! I love all the positive comments this must be a better way forward.
While "brine" isn't the best sounding word, I'm sure this bird will taste delicious! I'll keep this one bookmarked just in case of special occasions. Turkey may not be my favourite, but perhaps I just haven't been making it right!
I know brining does wonders for bnls/sknls chicken breasts too, and it absolutely necessary if you are going to grill them.
A few years ago, a friend of mine told me about brining a turkey. I had never tried it before, so I decided to go out on a limb. LOL I got a huge plastic bucket, and some Italian herbs. I added them to the bucket with salt and garlic. The end result was absolutely delicious! We've done a variation of seasonings every year since.
I'd be prepared to bet that the one he had wasn't cooked this way. Thank you so much – I shall try it your way.
Turkey is one of my all time favorite meat dishes. I can't wait for Thanksgiving. I'm even one of those people who enjoys the leftovers.
We are planning to fry ours. I wonder if brining would still be a good choice even with frying. I've heard it does wonders, so I've always wanted to try it out. I'm just not sure about doing it before cooking it this way. Oh, well, I guess I'll just have to make another one soon, so I can try this method out. Any excuse is a good one for me.
Brining is not the easiest thing to do, I've seen people do it too much or too little, you have to find the sweetspot.
This is a good post. Has anyone ever tried brining a turkey in wine? That time a few years ago when Hanukkah fell on the same day as Thanksgiving, I heard about brining a turkey in Manischewitz. The author said that it gave it a bit of a sweet, unique flavor. The meat obviously came out with a dark red tinge from the wine, but it sounded good. Has anyone ever tried this?

No comments Forgotten Heroes of Indian History, Indian History
The powerful Vijayanagara Empire was founded by two brothers named Harihara (Harihara 1) and Bukka Raya. They were taken as prisoners by Mohammad bin Tughlaq and were converted to Islam. Later they were sent to establish the rule Delhi Sultanate over south India.
But the two brothers had different ambitions and under the influence of a sage named Vidyaranya, they renounced Islam and bring themselves back to Sanatan Dharma which led to the foundation of a powerful Hindu kingdom of Vijayanagara.
King Krishnadevaraya of Vijayanagara Empire
At that the time of its formation, the Vijayanagara Empire was surrounded by powerful Sultanates. But under the visionary leadership of their kings, the Empire resisted all the attacks from neighboring kingdoms and emerged as a powerful empire not only of south Indian but also of whole India.
In this article, we will cover the story of a great king who throughout his reign remained undefeated and took the Vijayanagar Empire to new heights. This is the story of Krishnadevaraya (Krishnadeva Raya)
Rise of Krishnadevaraya
Conquests of Krishnadevaraya
The reign of the great Hindu king i.e. Krishnadeva Raya is full of unstoppable conquests over different sultanates.
Born of 1471 CE Krishnadeva Raya was the son of Tuluva Narasa Nayaka and Nagala Devi.
With the accession of Vira Narasimha, the period of the Tuluva Dynasty begins. After the death of Vira Narasimha (1505-1509) his brother i.e. Krishnadevaraya ascended the powerful throne of the Vijayanagara Empire on 8 August 1509 CE.
He was married to Tirumala Devi and Chinnama Devi. To safeguard his empire he initially took the objective of bringing all the chieftains of the Tungabhadra region under his sway.
He was a patron of art and literature too. He was known as Andhra Bhoja and gave patronage to many scholars, artists, philosophers, etc. Amukta-malyada a famous poem in Telugu is also written by him.
Raya built numerous temples like the famous Krishnaswamy temple, Hazara Ramaswamy temple, Vittalaswami temple. He also built huge irrigation reservoirs, tanks, and canals for the peasants.
The Bahmani Kingdom & Vijayanagara Empire
The sultan of the Bahmani Sultanate i.e. Mahmud Shah decided to invade the kingdom of Krishnadeva Raya around 1509 CE. The Bahmani Sultan declared Jihad on the people of Vijayanagara.
He augmented a huge army with the help of several neighboring warlords. The invading army reached Dony and here their path was blocked by the army of the Vijayanagara Empire.
The forces of the Vijayanagara Empire badly defeated the invaders. In this encounter, the leader of the Bahmani army i.e. Sultan Mahmud Shah got injured and retreated back to his dominion after the battle.

But the Krishnadeva Raya was far from satisfied from this victory and he decided to chase the retreating army and another battle was fought when the Bahmani army reached Kovelakonda.
The result of this battle was again comes out in the favour of Krishnadeva Raya. In this second battle, Yusuf Adil Khan of Bijapur was killed. This was a heavy blow to the Bijapur Sultanate and due to this Ismail Adil Shah became the next sultan of this dynasty.
Due to the death of Yusuf Adil Khan, the state of Bijapur became vulnerable, and immediately the king of Vijayanagara decided to march against them.
He captured Raichur (in modern-day Karnataka) in 1512 and also took the fort of Gulbarga.
Ummattur & Vijayanagara Empire
Next, he launched an assault on the Palaigar of Ummattur. This campaign on Ummattur lasted for two years and captured Sivanasamudram.
Gajapati & Vijayanagara Empire
After settling the dispute with most of the neighboring kingdom of the South the charismatic leader of Vijayanagara marched against the Gajapati of Orissa. The main motivation behind this campaign was to recover the territories of the Vijayanagara Empire which were conquered by the Gajapati kingdom.
At this time the ruler of the Gajapati kingdom was Prataparudra.
This was a long campaign in which the powerful Gajapati fought bravely but in the end, they were defeated by Raya.
He attacked the fort of Udayagiri in the year 1513 CE. The garrison defended the fort audaciously. It was due to the military leadership of Raya which made the Vijayanagara's victory possible.
Later he captured Kondavidu and even took many people including young prince Virabhadra and one of his queens as a prisoner. Later peace was settled by a treaty in which the king of Gajapati gave his daughter in marriage to Raya in return the latter gave the territories from the north of the Krishna to the former.
Quli Qutub Shah of Golconda & Vijayanagara Empire
But the borders of the Krishnadevaraya Empire were far from secure. This time the Qutub Shahis of Golconda decided to march against the undefeated Krishnadevaraya. Quli Qutub shah conquered the forts of Pangal and Guntur when Krishnadeva was busy in the Orissa campaign.
Quli Qutub Shah after capturing several territories of the Vijayanagara Empire marched towards Kondavidu (now in Andhra Pradesh) and laid a siege on the fort.
At this time Nadindla Gopa was in charge of the fort. Quli Qutub Shah's charge was very vehement and the defender i.e. Nadindla was unable to stop this charge from the invaders. But with the arrival of Krishandeva, he dispatches Saluva Timma with an army of 200,000 men to finish the invaders at Kondavidu.
Saluva Timma defeated the Qutub Shahis and took their commander Madar ul Mulk as a prisoner of war.
Bijapur & Vijayanagara Empire
Ismail Adil Khan reconquered the fort of Raichur and the doab region of Krishna Tungabhadra. In the year 1520 Saluva Timma took a large army to face the tide of Ismail Khan. A fierce battle took place at the village of Gobbur in which the invaders were badly defeated. Many perished while retreating. Many were drowned in the river.
Krishnadevaraya then captured the fort of Raichur whose garrison defended strongly after the flight of the Bijapur army. But with the aid of Portuguese allies (mainly skilled musketeers), the Vijayanagara army won the battle.
But this war didn't end here and later several battles were fought between Bijapur and Vijayanagara Empire. In which the result remained unchanged and Krishnadeva Raya emerged as a powerful king of South India.
The famous poet Muku Timmana gave Krishnadevaraya the title of "The Destroyer of the Turks". This shows the military prowess of this great Hindu king.
The glory of this undefeated Hindu king often gets hindered due to his contemporary rulers of northern India (Rana Sanga and Babur). Krishnadeva Raya was a brilliant military tactician and strategist. He always led from the front and always came out victorious in every battle he fought.
After every battle, he immediately makes medical arrangements for the wounded soldiers. Due to this, the soldiers were always prepared to follow his command at any cost.
Furthermore, he was a brilliant leader and diplomat. He established friendly relations with the Portuguese which provided horses for his army. These horses played a vital role in the battles against the powerful sultanates like Bijapur and Bahmani.
All in all Krishnadeva Raya took Vijayanagara Empire to new heights both politically and culturally. He saved the region of South India from repeated onslaughts of the powerful sultanates and defeated them in every battle.
But sadly the story of this great king who was a brilliant military strategist and patron of art and literature remains unheard in modern India.

If you are struggling to increase sales revenue, you may think the answer is just to get more sales, or maybe the answer is to sell more. However, as a sales consultant and coach, I can tell you that getting more sales isn't always the answer. Most of the time sales are the focus of declining profits, but it is important to be able to identify when the problem really is sales – and when it isn't.
Let me share with you a story about a client. Recently, this client and I sat down and looked at his business. It was going well, but not great. It seemed like every time he would turn the sales corner, something would push him back. It didn't take long to see that it wasn't his sales efforts that were impeding his success; it was his team's inability to deliver his company's services. He had some employees who were very nice people, but who were just not for the right fit to provide his company's type of service. When we fixed that part of his business, we could more readily focus on the business of his sales. His company has grown more than 30 percent in the last year. Needless to say, he's ecstatic.
So how do you know when you've got a legitimate sales problem or when your problem might be somewhere else? There are some tell-tell signs you can look for.
Any or all of these can indicate that something is amiss somewhere else in the customer delivery system. Like it or not, if you are in sales, you are also in the business of customer service. After all, if your customer doesn't come back because they aren't happy with the customer service, it's the sales person that usually ends up paying the price.
One way you can keep a pulse on customer satisfaction is to build a 'checkup' into your sales system with new customers. You might check in with the new customer at 30 days and again at 120 days and see if they are satisfied with their entire experience with your company. Don't let too much time pass between you and your hard-earned customer. It's you they trust so be sure to cultivate that relationship.
Entrepreneurs who wear both a sales hat and customer service hat will understand that there's more than signing contracts. The signed contract is when the real work begins of keeping that client for life!
