La cartilagine ialina è il tipo di tessuto cartilagineo più diffuso nell'organismo.
Rappresenta la prima bozza di scheletro nei vertebrati (viene in seguito sostituito dal tessuto osseo ad eccezione che nei pesci cartilaginei); nei mammiferi adulti la cartilagine ialina riveste le superficie delle articolazioni (da non confondere con i menischi, di cartilagine fibrosa), costituisce il tratto che unisce le coste allo sterno (cartilagine costale), parte dello scheletro del naso e della laringe, gli anelli della trachea.

La matrice (o sostanza intercellulare) della cartilagine ialina è amorfa e ricca di fibre di collagene e proteoglicani, che ne costituiscono la sostanza fondamentale; quasi assenti le fibre elastiche.

I condrociti (cellule che compongono la cartilagine) sono isolati nella matrice, accolti in cavità della matrice intercellulare chiamate "lacune" o disposti in piccoli gruppi, originati dalla divisione di una singola cellula, detti gruppi isogeni. In fasi molto intense di proliferazione dei condroblasti (precursori dei condrociti), le lacune possono contenere anche più di un condrocita.

La cartilagine ialina è ricoperta da pericondrio, uno strato di tessuto connettivo fibroso che le fornisce nutrimento. Al di sotto, essa si suddivide in tre zone:

zona tangenziale, costituita da condrociti ovali isolati;
zona intermedia, costituita da condrociti globosi isolati;
zona centrale, costituita da condrociti globosi raccolti in gruppi isogeni.

La crescita della cartilagine può avvenire secondo due differenti modalità:

 accrescimento interstiziale: le cellule figlie derivano dalla divisione di un condroblasto contenuto in una lacuna. Si vengono a formare i gruppi isogeni composti da cellule differenziate terminali, dette condrociti, che producono nuova matrice all'interno della lacuna. La cartilagine aumenta quindi di dimensione all'interno, nella zona centrale.
 accrescimento per apposizione: cellule condroprogenitrici del pericondrio si dividono in due cellule figlie. Una differenzia in un condroblasto ovale, che diventa poi globoso, iniziando a secernere nuova matrice. La crescita avviene quindi a livello della zona tangenziale e del pericondrio che viene spostato verso l'esterno.

Asian markets mixed as oil prices surge
September 16, 2019 - 12:18 am
BEIJING (AP) — Asian stock markets were mixed Monday after crude prices surged following an attack on Saudi Arabia's biggest oil processing facility.
Hong Kong's benchmark tumbled 1% while Seoul advanced and Shanghai and Sydney were little-changed. Japanese markets were closed for a holiday.
The benchmark U.S. crude price jumped $4.36 per barrel following the attack on oil producer Saudi Aramco's Abqaiq facility, for which Yemeni rebels claimed responsibility. Brent crude, the international standard, was up $5.20 after spiking nearly $8 at one point.
The jump in crude prices hurt airline stocks and other businesses with big fuel bills and put upward pressure on inflation expectations. At the same time, higher prices are a boost to oil exporters such as Malaysia and temporarily pushed up share prices for crude producers.
"This is obviously not a good day if you are an oil importer," said Chris Weston of Pepperstone Group in a report.
"This isn't just a question of who or even what actually caused the attacks, but some have questioned whether we will we see further attacks and Saudi infrastructure is vulnerable," said Weston.
The Hang Seng index declined to 27,066.59 points following more weekend anti-government protests. The Hong Kong airport reported passenger traffic fell 12% in August from a year ago, a sign of the economic impact of demonstrations that began three months ago.
"Oil ructions aside, investors would have already been nervous today in Asia as a belligerent China returns from holiday," Jeffrey Halley of Oanda said in a report.
The Shanghai Composite Index was off 2 points at 3,029.46 as trading resumed following a three-day holiday weekend. Sydney's S&P-ASX 200 was up 1 point at 6,670.30.
Seoul's Kospi gained 0.5% to 2,058.65 while India's Sensex lost 0.4% to 37,222.43. Markets in Southeast Asia retreated.
Investor anxiety about the U.S.-Chinese tariff war eased following conciliatory gestures last week by both sides ahead of planned negotiations next month on their conflict over trade and technology.
President Donald Trump postponed planned Oct. 1 tariff hikes to Oct. 15, opening up the possibility they might be put off indefinitely if the talks make progress. Beijing announced Friday it would lift punitive duties on soybeans, China's biggest import from the United States, and some other farm goods.
Despite that, the two sides have given no indication of progress toward resolving the core issues in the sprawling dispute over trade and technology that threatens to chill global economic growth.
On Wall Street, the Standard & Poor's 500 index turned in its three straight weekly gain Friday, even as major U.S. indexes ended the day mostly lower.
A slide in technology stocks, along with losses in consumer-focused and real estate companies, offset solid gains elsewhere in the market, including big Wall Street banks and industrial stocks.
Investors are looking for a possible U.S. interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve this week. The central bank lowered its benchmark interest rate in July by a quarter point, its first cut in a decade, in a bid to help maintain U.S. economic growth.
The S&P 500 index slipped 0.1% to 3,007.39. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.1% to 27,219.52.
The technology heavy Nasdaq fell 0.2% to 8,176.71.
CHINA-AUSTRALIA DAIRY PURCHASE: Bellamy's Australia Ltd., a dairy and producer of infant formula, said it agreed to be acquired by China's Mengniu Dairy Co. for 1.5 billion Australian dollars ($1 billion). The purchase would add to a string of Chinese global acquisitions aimed at capturing more of the profits of serving China's growing market for imported food. Mengniu is one of China's most prominent milk brands and also sells in Singapore, Myanmar and Indonesia.
ENERGY: Benchmark U.S. crude rose $4.40 to $59.25 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract lost 24 cents on Friday to close at $54.85. Brent crude jumped $5.30 or 8.9%, to $66.52 per barrel.
CURRENCY: The dollar declined to 107.92 yen from Friday's 108.09 yen. The euro was little changed at $1.1072.

Q: How to see Job agent creation and deletion date in SQL Server 2014? I created job agent in SQL server 2014 and someone had deleted this without my permission. now my question is that how can I see job agent Creation and deletion date in logs? Is this possible?
thanks

A: The Answer is NO.You cant find any logs for what happened in the past.But if you want to not be in same situation again.Here is the way to do..
--Create a server Audit:
CREATE SERVER AUDIT [SqlAgentObjectAccess_Audit]
       TO APPLICATION_LOG
      WITH
        (QUEUE_DELAY = 1000
          ,ON_FAILURE = CONTINUE
    ,AUDIT_GUID = 'e1f7d882-b26e-4b70-bc03-87af197eb7de'
       )

--Now start the server Audit
ALTER SERVER AUDIT [SqlAgentObjectAccess_Audit] WITH (STATE = ON)

---now you need to turn on audit in MSDB and state which events to be audited
USE [msdb]
go

    CREATE DATABASE AUDIT SPECIFICATION [SqlAgentObjectAccess_Audit_MSDB]
      FOR SERVER AUDIT [SqlAgentObjectAccess_Audit]
      ADD (EXECUTE ON OBJECT::[dbo].[sp_delete_job] BY [dbo]),
      ADD (EXECUTE ON OBJECT::[dbo].[sp_delete_job] BY   [SQLAgentUserRole]),
      ADD (EXECUTE ON OBJECT::[dbo].[sp_add_job] BY [dbo]),
       ADD (EXECUTE ON OBJECT::[dbo].[sp_add_job] BY [SQLAgentUserRole])
      WITH (STATE = ON)
GO

Note:
1.You can even login to some share  and read those files daily into table and send an email

Researchers Demonstrate Ambient Coherent Amplification of THz Radiation in Graphene
Written by AZoNanoSep 8 2020
A team of international researchers has been successful in achieving coherent amplification of terahertz (THz) radiation in graphene at room temperature.
A scanning-electron microscopic top-view image of a fabricated graphene transistor structure under measurement. It features the unique transistor electrode structure called "double-grating gate," where two sets of gate electrodes that have a comb-like grating shape are prepared and arranged in an interdigitated fashion. Image Credit: © Tohoku University.
Led by Taiichi Otsuji, a professor from Tohoku University, the researchers achieved this by using a dry cell battery to electrically induce the radiation.
About 40 years ago, the advent of plasma wave electronics paved the way for a wide range of new opportunities.
Researchers across the world were enthralled with the likelihood that plasma waves could travel faster compared to electrons, implying that the so-called "plasmonic" devices could operate at THz frequencies. But experimental efforts to achieve the development of such emitters or amplifiers have been intangible to date.
Our study explored THz light-plasmon coupling, light absorption, and amplification using a graphene-based system because of its excellent room-temperature electrical and optical properties.

A Guide to Graphene
The team of researchers, including members from Japanese, Russian, French, and Polish institutions, developed a range of monolayer-graphene channel transistor structures. These structures included an original dual-gathering gate that served as a highly efficient antenna that couples the THz radiations with the graphene plasmons.
The use of these devices enabled the research team to demonstrate the absorption of tunable resonant plasmons that, with an increase in current, leads to amplification of the THz radiation.
The gain in amplification of up to 9% was obtained in the monolayer graphene—much more than the well-known benchmark level of 2.3%, which is the maximum available amplification when photons tend to interact directly with electrons without the excitation of graphene plasmons.
The researchers interpreted the study results by using a dissipative plasmonic crystal model, thus capturing the basic physics and main trends of the amplification phenomena. In particular, the model estimates the increase in the dc current of the channel, which pushes the system into an amplification regime.
This shows that the plasma waves might transfer the dc energy into the incoming THz electromagnetic waves in a coherent manner.
Because all results were obtained at room temperature, our experimental results pave the way toward further THz plasmonic technology with a new generation of all-electronic, resonant, and voltage-controlled THz amplifiers.

Google Docs redesign looks great
The new intervace is very usable, and addresses many of the issues people were asking about. Let's talk about each of the improvements individually.
First, you will notice the interface. There isn't just one thing about it that I particularly like — it's all pretty good. It's speedy, AJAXy and makes me want to use it. You can even drag and drop things into folders — I'm sure some Gmail users are hoping the same thing comes to their inbox soon too.
Next, the whole folder structure is brand new. Strangely enough, Google abandoned the "tag" and completely replaced them with folders. Earlier today a friend of mine called me up to ask how to make folders in Google Docs — I'm betting there were a lot of people in that same boat and that's why it was changed.
And last, but not least, the search box now tells you what you are searching for before you finish typing. It has a similar behavior to Google Suggest and the Google Toolbar.
Overall, a great job by the Google Docs team on this one — the only thing missing now is offline functionality and maybe a new look for Writely and Google Spreadsheets to match the new docs list.

BlueTie AJAX Email, Calendar, Collaborator
I don't know how you feel about blue collar, but if you want, need, or simply must have yet another email account, BlueTie is one to check out. BlueTie however, really is much more than just an email account. Not only is it free email with 5GB of storage per user (yes, more than Google so far), but provides unified calendar and other collaborative tools including shared file storage, an "enterprise" user manager, tasks, and a frighteningly Outlook-like calendar. Many features of BlueTie remind me of Outlook's meeting requests, contacts, calendar, and other features in fact. The free account limits you to 20 users, but who's counting? Small business owners and groups will love this app. It is AJAX based and looks good enough that I am considering putting my business on it entirely, since most of the app can be shared with all your people, contacts, calendar, and file storage. Did I mention that you can use your own domain with BlueTie, as well as the fact that it has Virus and Spam protection built in? Oh yeah, it has that too.
An empty but very functional contacts view
The BlueTie calendar, empty too, but still very useful.

Firefox 2.0 to Feature New JavaScript 1.7
Despite some indications to the contrary this week, the Mozilla Foundation did not release its next version of the Firefox browser, which is still being widely, publicly tested under Release Candidate 2. As Mozilla's vice president for engineering, Mike Schroepfer, told BetaNews on Friday, Firefox releases take place on a qualitative basis, not on a deadline or time scale. The organization will release the next production version of the browser when it feels it's ready for prime time.
One of the new browser's key elements, and perhaps the beneficiary of the greatest amount of change, is its new JavaScript interpreter. As more Web sites take advantage of the new benefits of Asynchronous JavaScript — especially as they embed objects or functionality from Google and Microsoft Windows Live — the JavaScript interpreter may play a much more active role, not only in the operation of the browser but in the implementation of Web-based applications.
With many in the original JavaScript development team from Netscape now working with Mozilla — including Brendan Eich, JavaScript's creator and Mozilla's CTO — the developers of Firefox 2.0 see an opportunity to propagate the component that could replace the HTML rendering engine as the Web's most prominent and influential component.
Developers are now starting to formalize additions to the JavaScript language to be rolled out with version 1.7 of the interpreter, which will premiere on the world's Web stage the day Firefox 2.0 is released.
"If you look at Firefox in general, the JavaScript engine is one of the really shining examples of the platform," Schroepfer remarked. "It's one of the reasons why Web developers prefer it, because it's very fast for most operations, it's very compliant, it's one of the most widely used JavaScript engines out there."
As he reminded us, not only does Firefox' JavaScript engine execute embedded scripts in Web pages (including AJAX scripts), but it also executes client-side code for use in Firefox extensions, which are embedded directly into the browser.
For that reason, the upgrade of the interpreter to version 1.7 will be of prime importance, especially as JavaScript begins to take on more of the programming features of newer, compelling scripting languages such as Python and Ruby. "JavaScript 1.7…implements a whole host of new features that were really inspired by the takeoff of other languages that have become popular, like Python and Ruby," stated Schroepfer, "so we take the JavaScript language to that next level."
Python has proven to be perhaps the tightest and most adaptable general purpose scripting language thus far developed, although Perl and PHP continue to have substantial followings. As JavaScript takes on more Python-like features, Firefox developers may be compelled not only to redefine the Web page, but also to build onto the browser itself.
"I think what we focused on in [upgrading] the core platform," Schroepfer said, "was, how do we put the right core primitives in the main platform to make Firefox both a great development platform and a great platform for end users to use, and then how do we leverage the extensibility of that platform through extensions to let developers effectively write their own tools that they need to write, in order to build these vast, distributed Web-based applications?"
On the programming level, one example of the changes JavaScript developers will see is with two new features that other scripting languages have made good use of, called generators and iterators. One example shows the use of a re-iterative loop that generates the first 100 numbers in the famous Fibonacci sequence (which was used as a benchmark back in the days when "microcomputers" were slower).
In typical JavaScript construction, for the loop to report its progress with each iteration, it would have to invoke a callback function that steps execution outside the loop clause, so that it could perform a document.write instruction each time.
With generators and iterators instead, a variable can be declared and assigned the function containing the reiterative loop as its "value." Here, the variable acts more like an object. The loop clause that counts the first numbers in the sequence exists outside the function, so the main body of the program has control over how many times the function is entered.
Execution steps into the function for one round — one iteration — by means of the .next method, which acts as the iterator. The function "knows" it's being used for multiple iterations, even though it doesn't maintain the loop. It gracefully passes execution back to the main body, which has the loop, by means of the all-new yield statement. This is the generator.
As Schroepfer told BetaNews, JavaScript 1.7 is an interim build, a "check point" on the way to finally implementing JavaScript 2.0, which is based on (actually a superset of) the ECMAscript 4.0 proposal that Netscape made to the ECMA standards body in 2003, and which incorporates Macromedia's (now Adobe's) ActionScript 2.0.
"Firefox 2.0, and the release of JavaScript 1.7, [comprise] the first kind of checkpoint along that path, where we're adding things like array comprehension, some Let expressions and iterator expressions that people are used to in the Python syntax, to make it easier to do things like loop over an array of elements and apply something to them – a very common operation on the Web."
Schroepfer added that, just like every other Mozilla project, the production of JavaScript 1.7 and 2.0 are taking place out in the open, in full cooperation with not only the ECMA working group but also with major implementers of JavaScript including Adobe, Google, and Microsoft.
BetaNews will feature more with Mike Schroepfer and more of the new under-the-hood features of Firefox 2.0 as its release approaches.

A Coventry man who founded a Muslim hiking group has said they have received an "overwhelming response of solidarity from the wider community" after racist comments were made on Facebook.
One hiker, who shared photos of the group on a Christmas Day walk, said that they had seen a comment "comparing the walkers to the Serengeti wildebeest migration".
Muslim Hikers, founded by Haroon Mota, from Coventry, led a group of more than 100 people on the Christmas Day hike in the Peak District.

Mr Mota, 36, said his group had chosen December 25 as the area would be quieter than usual.
However, after hikers shared photos of the trip on Facebook, they were accused of damaging the area and not being "proper walkers", while Mr Mota said they were met with racist replies also.
Speaking to the PA news agency he said: "There were some very racist comments being made.
"These type of comments, racist comments, only make it more problematic for those from our community who feel less empowered to get outside."
The group was set up in 2020 by Coventry resident Haroon Mota to champion and encourage diversity in the outdoors. (Image: @ZeynLambat)
He added: "For people who might be joining for the first time, they might think 'oh wow, is this what people actually think?'
"One of the reasons why we set up Muslim Hikers was so that we could stand together and for greater diversity and inclusion.
"We've been working extremely hard to create a culture of confidence in the outdoors."
Salma Mehboob, 43, from Manchester, went on the hike – afterwards she shared her photos of the event to the Facebook group Derbyshire and Peak District Walks, a public group which has more than 90,000 members.
Ms Mehboob, a psychology tutor at Manchester Metropolitan University, said "the sense of entitlement" from some commenters was "absurd".

She told PA: "I have never seen comments made like this about any other groups of people walking in this Facebook group, so why was it picked up when I posted our trek?
"Someone made a comment that it's not racism, just that some people enjoy hating on others.
"Whilst I appreciate there is truth in that, unfortunately, there were some racist comments such as comparing the walkers to the Serengeti wildebeest migration.
"The majority of comments had been wonderfully supportive and I need to stress how heartwarming and reassuring the support has been for the trek, but I noticed early on that there were some quite disparaging and mocking comments."
Ms Mehboob said that she has reported comments to the group's admin, and they had since been removed, while Mr Mota said the group's admin had been in touch to confirm they were blocking and removing comments.
He added that thousands more have followed Muslim Hikers on social media since Christmas Day, while they have received offers of financial support too.
"The majority of people will just find extra motivation and think 'actually, do you know what? Stuff them'," Mr Mota said.
"Some of these comments were very unpleasant. However, after sharing these comments we've had such an overwhelming response in terms of solidarity from the wider community.
"In a positive way, it has given us an opportunity to really call that type of behaviour out."

Inclusive Erotica Featuring People With Disabilities You Can Read, Watch and Enjoy
We already know disability representation is important across all media — and that includes erotica.
People with disabilities are often left out of conversations about sex as well as sexy time resources. But like in all areas of life, it's important for people with disabilities to see themselves represented with sexual agency in erotic works of art, including film, literature, art theater and photography.
"It can be very empowering for a person with a disability to be in erotica and to be seen as sexy AND disabled," Angela Car, a sexual health educator, advocate and Mighty contributor said. "The goal in including people with disabilities should be to make that person feel sexy, not make them feel like they are there because of their disability. It should empower, enrich and make that person feel good about themselves."
Eva Sweeney, sex educator and host of "Cripping Up Sex With Eva," added that erotica portraying disabled people as capable sexual partners is good for everyone — whether you have a disability or not.
"Disabled bodies are often left out of the erotic narrative and when we do see them it is often portrayed as tragedy or fetishized," Sweeney told The Mighty. "Also it helps able-bodied people see disabled people as sexual beings and potential partners."
Both Car and Sweeney said these types of representations for people with disabilities — ones that sidestep fetish and, as Car said, "see[s] people with disabilities as adults with the same sexual needs and desires as everyone else" — are far and few between.
While we need more erotica created by people with disabilities, we found a few potentially satisfying erotic adventures you might want to take a closer look at.
1. Xan West
Xan West — aka Corey Alexander — is an award-winning disabled erotica writer who includes disability, BDSM and queer narratives in their work. They have written a series of essays and books that might be right up your alley if you're looking for an empowering sex-themed read. Most recently, West published "Nine of Swords, Reversed," a dominant/submissive "romance novelette" with "autistic, disabled, chronic pain, PTSD and depression representation."
What to read: You can sample some of West's work by reading their guest post on Sugar Butch and find other work and links to purchase on their website.
2. Penelope Friday
Penelope Friday covers a lot of ground in her erotic writing, including disability. One such story, "Picking the Man," was her first to feature a disabled character, inspired by her own experiences. In an interview with U.K.'s Scope, Friday said she sometimes uses a wheelchair because of myalgic encephalopathy (ME), and this impacts how prospective sexual partners see her. "[I'm] treated like two different people depending on whether I'm in my wheelchair or not," she told Scope.
What to read: You can view all of Friday's published erotica on her website, though you may need to do some extra digging to find disability-specific stories. You can read "Picking the Man" in the erotica collection "Running Free" (warning: NSFW).
3. Lyric Seal
Erotica comes in all forms, and that, of course, includes film. Lyric Seal, who identifies as queer, disabled and is a wheelchair user, is one such porn performer to seek out. In an interview with Queer Porn TV, they describe their style as "grit and glitter." They also said it's empowering to explore both your own and your partner's body through sex. As a bonus, you'll know first-hand just how wonderfully sexual "other" bodies are.

— Jane Way (@janewayxyz) February 12, 2019
Jane Way, who formerly went by Billy Autumn, lives with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS). They are a performer and sex worker on a mission to bring better representation to porn through their production company, Porn's Not Dead. Way also told Sexpress (warning: NSFW) that sex work has been nothing but empowering.
"A lot of sexworkers are disabled, either physically, mentally or both," she said. "This work allows us to take care of ourselves, and for me it totally has helped me reclaim my sexuality as a disabled person."
What to watch: You can keep up with Way's latest projects on her website (warning: very NSFW) and stay tuned for Porn's Not Dead sometime in 2019.
5. Daniel James
Performer Daniel James, who has cerebral palsy, started as an alternative porn performer but his growing reputation and popularity in the porn world have taken him mainstream. He's learned to modify sex positions to accommodate his disability, and he's happy to show others just how far he can go.
"People develop this screwed up notion in their mind that all individuals with disabilities are physically incapable of sex," James told Queerty. "Sex when you're disabled all comes down to the technique and thinking of ingenious ways to use the surroundings to your advantage."
What to watch: James has films on a variety of adult sites across the internet. Search 'Daniel James porn' online to find websites that feature his videos (warning: NSFW).
6. Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha
The intersection between body politics and erotica can be almost non-existent. That's something disabled author Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha has captured in her collection of poems, "Bodymap." It's not erotica in the traditional sense, but Piepzna-Samarasinha's poems explore how queer, disabled people of color navigate the world through "transformative love and desire" and "body stories." Depending on what gets you going, "Bodymap" may be just the erotic read you need.
What to read: You can pick up your copy of "Bodymap" via Small Press Distribution online.
7. Lisa J. Murphy
There's a visual component to erotica and artist Lisa J. Murphy wanted to bring that excitement to those who are blind or have vision loss. Called "Tactile Minds" (warning: NSFW), Murphy created a book of 17 hand-sculpted "tactile photographs" that allow you to run your hands all over the bumps and ridges of the naked human body. The book also includes a Braille description of each image.
What to read: You can inquire about picking up your own copy of "Tactile Minds" via Murphy's website (warning: NSFW).
8. Jocelyn Woods
For many, sensuality and spirituality are closely linked. If that's you, Jocelyn Woods' (warning: NSFW) erotic works of art, theater and performance capture the transcendent nature of sex and body. Woods, who lives with a neuromuscular disease that limits her mobility, began her erotic work with a series of erotic portraits (warning: NSFW) and has since expanded into other mediums.
"My body is on full display as an art medium," Woods writes on her Patreon page. "It is my fervent passion and dedication to push the boundaries of expression beyond current societal paradigms, to catalyze new perceptions regarding disability, sexuality, and the interconnection of the spiritual and physical."
What to see: You can keep up with Woods' projects on her Patreon page (warning: NSFW).
9. Encarna Conde
Encarna Conde advocated for disabled performers to take the spotlight in porn films with Spain's biggest producers. When no one answered the producer's resulting casting call for people with disabilities, Conde decided to step up and do it herself. Conde, a native of Spain, lives with the degenerative nervous system condition ataxia and uses a wheelchair.
She made her porn debut in "Breaking Barriers" at age 45 in 2006 with an empowering message: "Everybody, whether they are disabled or not, has the right to make their own sexual choices,."
What to watch: It's unclear if Conde starred in any films beyond "Breaking Barriers" and it's hard to find the film online.

There is so much advice floating around online, in textbooks, and in classrooms, it's difficult to know what to focus on in your IELTS preparation. So, today, I'll give you the best tips for all four IELTS Listening sections.
Do you feel confident in your strategies to tackle IELTS Listening?
Firstly, you must prepare yourself by knowing what exactly to expect.
Just because Section 1 is the easiest, that doesn't mean that you can relax!
You must begin the Listening test by following the strategies that you have learned, such as listening to the introduction carefully, reading the directions and following them.
By the time you are ready to take the IELTS exam, you should have learned and practiced a clear system of strategies. Start right away using these tips, such as focusing on key words and being an active listener.
In Section 2, although the speaker will probably talk about a familiar topic, it is only one person talking the whole time.
For many students, paying attention to only one person talking is more difficult than keeping track of multiple speakers, especially if the person has an accent!
Therefore, you should really prepare yourself for every possibility on the exam.
Click here to see resources for listening to different accents. It might be hard at first, but, I promise, it will get easier as you practice.
In Section 3, there are usually two people talking about a topic that is a little more complicated. IELTS says it is an "academic" topic, but, really, it could be a variety of topics. The difference between the "academic" and the "general" topics are that the academic ones are not personal and are usually less familiar to the general public.
In order to practice keeping track of multiple speakers while they talk about unfamiliar topics, you should practice by using audioscripts and, as always, follow the strategies for being an active listener.
Sometimes there are more than two people talking. This adds an additional level of difficulty. Listen to this episode to learn an activity for preparing for this situation.
Section 4 is always the most difficult section. It is only one person talking about a (probably) unfamiliar topic.
First, don't panic if you don't understand everything. You probably won't! Focus on key words, and follow along as the person talks.
Secondly, practice with resources that mimic this section, such as TED talks, and the interview show on npr.org called Fresh Air. Although this is an interview show, the guest does talk for long periods while telling stories. The show also has a tapescript that you can read along with while you listen.

Q: Python 2.7.2 IDLE shell not working For some reason the python 2.7.2 IDLE shell is not opening. I get an error that says:
"IDLE can't bind to a TCP/IP port, which is necessary to communicate with its Python execution server. This might be because no networking is installed on this computer. Run IDLE with the -n command line switch to start without a subprocess and refer to HELP/IDLE Help 'Running without a subprocess' for further details."
It was working fine the day before and I can't think of any changes I have made to the computer*(windows 7) that could have caused it to stop working. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but it still has the same problem. I have added it to the exceptions on my firewall but nothing helps it.
Any help is appreciated :)

A: See a similar problem with solution here:-
http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~pconrad/cs8/topics/idle/
If you think port number 8833 might be used by some other process, check that by giving this in command prompt:-
netstat -aon | find "8833"

A: There I see 2 possible problems:

*

*The port is used by other process, how told vaisakh.

*In your case don't show the specific port, can be the network interface is not up. Review your 'interfaces' file and be sure lo is up

Run:
sudo ifconfig

if there isn't lo, then
sudo ifconfig lo up

A: The first thing you need to do is locate your python on your computer by right clicking on it and clicking properties. After that go into your file folder and follow the path that the property finder told you, then find something that looks like this:
C:\Users\DELL\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\Lib\idlelibCidle.pyw
Don't copy this because it's the path to python on my computer, but make sure your line looks similar at the end of my line.  Copy the line that looks similar to the one above and paste it or write in the command prompt and then press space and add the -n to it and hit enter.  Don't add the C: at the beginning if it is already written in the command prompt, but make sure you add the \

Explore a clever, family-friendly home renovation in Sweden
Swedish couple Freda and Niklas transformed their quaint house with stylish play zones inside and out
by Christina Gossmann | February 19, 2018
Ester, Ellen and Oskar play in the garden with their favourite tent and an impressive Wendy house.
'I would describe my style as classically elegant,' says Swedish mum-of-three Frida, who is passionate about interior design and oversaw the redecoration of her family's home in Uppsala after they bought it eight years ago. 'I like décor that feels a little bit luxurious but at the same time it's practical, so everyone – including the children – can use it and feel comfortable.'
The couple's three children, Ester, Ellen and Oskar, love the house with its spacious rooms and large garden with many areas to play in. However, their parents admit that it took quite a bit of work to get the house to its current state. When Frida and Niklas bought the house, which was built in 1967, a lot of renovation work was required to create the bright and airy feel they were looking for.
Today, the interior feels soft and fresh without being overly feminine. Antique furniture and lamps are blended with modern elements and the rooms are held together with pink, blue and brass details. Throughout the house, the white walls and white painted carpentry provides a quiet background accented with pastel colours and a faint clash of traditional and contemporary styles.

'I wanted our home to feel welcoming and cosy with inviting spaces for gatherings with friends and family, as I love to organise big parties and dinners,' explains Frida. 'It's not always sensible to buy expensive interior pieces when you have toddlers, so I focus investments on things that are not too exposed, such as lamps, paintings and vases. We have tried to create a timeless feeling that will last forever.'
The large entrance hall evokes contemporary elegance by juxtaposing a blonde wood floor and painted white boards on the wall with an inherited gilded antique mirror that sits atop a matching marble and gold Rococo table. Ornamental brass insects are a quirky accessory on the table.
It's evident that a lot of thought was put into making the house suitable for every member of the family and the children were certainly considered during the design process. Downstairs, the kitchen/dining room has a view of the play room across the entrance hall, where the children have their own sitting area and space for toys. There's a pretend kitchen, a cosy sofa for reading, a desk by the window for homework, a mirror for dressing up, and discreet storage for their games.
The kitchen includes a family dining area where they enjoy meals and time together when the parents are cooking. While the room continues the white base of the playroom and hallway, the black dining table and chairs stand out to create a distinct dining space.
The downstairs living room has notes of pink and blue, with a beautiful vintage-looking rug and mismatched sofa cushions, while a gold chandelier is an elegant touch set against the rural charm of this room.

Upstairs, a second family room has a similar colour palette with a few darker pieces of furniture, creating a comfortable lounge space. The master bedroom has a feminine scheme of mushroom, grey and white, with rustic French country-chic bedside tables and white drawers. A high-back tufted linen love seat against a wall of black and white photographs of the children creates a feature point and lifts the room. Their daughters Ellen and Ester each have their own bedrooms in pretty pink and floral palettes, with a few touches of blue and green coming through in the wallpaper, rugs and cushions. Their youngest, Oskar, sleeps in his mum and dad's bedroom.
Both the kitchen and the living room open onto the lush garden, with apple trees dotted around giving off a sweet scent when they're in fruit. The garden is a highlight of the property, where the family loves to host summer parties and play with the children, and was certainly a deciding factor when the couple bought the property. Under the pergola, the al fresco dining table is their favourite spot for breakfast and tea, with an abundance of potted plants and sheer curtains gently swaying in the breeze, creating a romantic scene.

A custom-made Wendy house complete with a small fenced veranda is a dream play area for the children, mimicking an authentic mini version of their white house to play home in. They also have hours of fun outside in their tiki tent, which they take inside to play in during the winter. In fact, the family love the winter months just as much as summer, and on cold days they make the interiors as cosy as possible.
In paying close attention to all the details, Frida and Niklas have created a natural and authentic dream home for the whole family to enjoy.
The owner Frida and Niklas have lived in Uppsala, a city 70 kilometres from Stockholm, since 2010 with their three young children, Ester, Ellen and Oskar.
The home The property, which dates from 1967, has been renovated into a picture-postcard, picket-fenced house with lush gardens, three bedrooms, two living rooms (one upstairs and one downstairs), a kitchen/dining room and a kids play room.

Pulmonary fibrosis occurs in a variety of clinical settings, constitutes a major cause of morbidity and mortality, and represents an enormous unmet medical need. However, the disease is heterogeneous, and the failure to accurately discern between forms of fibrosing lung diseases leads to inaccurate treatments. Pulmonary fibrosis occurring in the context of connective tissue diseases is often characterized by a distinct pattern of tissue pathology and may be amenable to immunosuppressive therapies. In contrast, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and lethal form of fibrosing lung disease that is recalcitrant to therapies that target the immune system. Although animal models of fibrosis imperfectly recapitulate IPF, they have yielded numerous targets for therapeutic intervention. Understanding the heterogeneity of these diseases and elucidating the final common pathways of fibrogenesis are critical for the development of efficacious therapies for severe fibrosing lung diseases.

Christie: N.J. Assembly should be working, not campaigning

By Claude Brodesser-Akner | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
TRENTON -- During an address to the New Jersey Commerce and Industry Association earlier this week, Gov. Chris Christie -- who spent three of the last five days out of state campaigning and fundraising for his 2016 presidential bid -- took a moment to complain about what he perceived as a double-standard regarding coverage of his performance.
"It's really interesting, all this attention about the time I'm spending outside the state," began Christie, a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination. "The state Assembly hasn't been to work since June. Not once. Not one day. They haven't worked one day since June. Yet you don't see these breathless accounts in the newspaper about what the next time they're getting to work is."
Service in the New Jersey Legislature is considered to be part-time, and most legislators also hold other employment. Assembly Speaker Vincent Prieto, for example, is the code official for his hometown Secaucus, as well as the construction official in nearby Guttenberg.
Prieto (D-Hudson) was singled out by Christie for special chastisement.
"If the Speaker comes before you, ask him: 'When are you going back to work?'"
With all 80 seats in the lower house of the New Jersey Legislature up for grabs this fall, Christie expressed annoyance that he was held to what he saw as a different standard than the Assembly, which ended its session in June and won't resume work until November.
Christie: Democrats in N.J. Legislature are not your friends
"The fact is: They don't want to interrupt their precious campaign time for a minute," said the governor, noting that in the meanwhile, "I'm sitting down there. I'm the Maytag Repairman. Sit in my office in Trenton, all alone."
Christie, however, has actually spent more time out of state this year than in: He's traveled out of state 145 of the last 247 days -- 53 percent of the calendar year to date -- doing media appearances, fundraisers and campaigning in early voting states like Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, among others.
The governor, however, has repeatedly insisted that he can "walk and chew gum at the same time" governing by iPhone when not in-state.
"I'm working everyday, believe me," the governor told the hundred-odd crowd of Garden State business leaders gathered at the Hanover Marriott for a breakfast meeting. "I'm getting on a plane to Iowa right now...I wish I could throw my phone out the window. I have no such luxury."
Therein lay an unfair double-standard, Christie said.
"The state Assembly is nowhere to be found while they're working on the important business of raising money and campaigning, and criticizing me for campaigning for president," Christie said. "It's ironic. But I'm sure it's something the press will one day get out. It's on their list of things to get to."

Horton is within sight of Eton, which has helped biographers including Anna Beer sight-in Milton's relationship with Eton's Provost Henry Wotton.  When the early Milton Symposium crowd went there, including Stella Revard and her mother, we were allowed to see the entry in the church record for the death of Milton's mother, who is buried in the chancel.  But the town, though pretty and then not overcrowded with commuters or tourists, does not define the word "hortus," that I could see.  I do remember greenhouses with jasmine in them.

Married couple Billy (Aidan Kelly) and Breda (Eileen Walsh) Farrell have two children and live a quiet, routine life in a Dublin suburb. But, with their ten anniversary fast approaching, their lives have become dull and Billy's eye is beginning to wander to the comely, and much younger, Imelda (Sarah Greene). With the milestone event, though, it looks like there is trouble brewing in "Eden."
Breda Farrell (Eileen Walsh, "The Magdalene Sisters") is a housewife with two kids and a husband, Billy (Aidan Kelly), who goes out every night with the boys. She's made an effort to diet back to her wedding weight, but confides to best friend Eilish (Lesley Conroy) that she cannot remember how long it has been since she and Billy have been intimate. With their tenth anniversary a week away, Breda begins to dream that a night out will rejuvenate the marriage, but Billy's become obsessed with Amanda (Leonna Duff), the outgoing daughter of one of his mates, in "Eden." "Eden" was adapted from his own stage play by Eugene O'Brien and director Declan Recks does a good job getting inside the head of Breda and, to a lesser extent, Billy, building up to the climatic date, but once the anniversary rolls around, what has been an intimate character study defined by the small Irish town where it takes place becomes overtly melodramatic. There is a case to be made for trauma kick-starting a relationship, but, as depicted here, this couple would need to leave town to start over. Billy's a telephone line repairman who drives about the countryside all day and hits McKeon's at night. There he listens to the likes of Tony Tyrell (Enda Oates), an older pal with constant tales of female conquest. When Billy gets pulled by a buddy to a table with two young women, he has the chance to relive his glory day of saving a child from drowning in the river that runs through town. He fancies Amanda and her reception to his former heroism along with the ease with which Tony seems to draw younger women becomes a fixed probability in his head. Meanwhile Breda is congratulated at her diet group by Yvonne Egan (Kate O'Toole, "The Dead," "Agnes Browne"), but the older women, whom Breda once confided in, publicly humiliates her by suggesting she'll need more than weight loss to get her husband back into her bed. Breda goes off and gets tipsy with Eilish and tells her about a fantasy where two men in a boat shine a light on twenty women lining the bank, and that she, wearing a purple dress, is the one who is picked. After noting the fashions in a shop window, Breda begins to sew that special dress for her night out with Billy. She also turns in her easily gathered back ponytail for the stylish bob we can see her wearing in her wedding photo. Daughter Edel (Carolyn Murray) draws dad's attention to it that night and he is all compliments. As he is the night of their anniversary when he sees Breda in her new, slinky dress. She engages him in a dance, but he pulls away, promising to complete it when he meets up with her later that evening. Breda suggests that tonight they will be successful with the lovemaking that failed the previous weekend. Breda spends hours with Eilish getting tons of attention from the locals on her new look and Billy does indeed arrive to meet her, but when he tells her he's just off for a few minutes chat with the boys before departing, the lure of a party at the Egans, where Amanda will be present, proves too strong. Recks does a fabulous job of integrating his audience into the small Irish town where his story takes place and cinematographer Owen McPolin gives the film a sharp, polished look belying the film's indie status. Eileen Walsh, who won Best Actress at the Tribeca Film Festival for this role, is the epitome of unfulfilled yearning, the unassuming, supportive wife. Yet we never really know where Kelly is coming from other than middle-aged fantasy-land - the character and the actor who plays him are so one note with his obsession, that despite the truth behind compliments given Breda, we never really know how he feels about her. Taken for granted? Resented? Overlooked? As written, Breda's fantasy comes back to haunt immediately after its telling and again in the aftermath of Billy's betrayal, but the story should tie in with the drowning Billy prevented years before and it doesn't. The cross cutting between Billy's outlandish, drunken behavior and Breda's more understandable reaction builds to a lurid pitch and the final scene between the married couple is unsatisfying. Recks has a talent for getting the feel of an entire community and its topography on screen and has elicited a fine performance from Walsh, but the story of a marriage in crisis goes off the rails in its final act.

Rex to restart Boeing 737 flights on November 15
Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra will see Rex jets back from mid-November, but other cities will have to wait a little longer.
By David Flynn, October 18 2021
Regional Express expects to bring back its fledgling Boeing 737 intercity jet services on November 15, some four months after flights were suspended in the face of city lockdowns and state border closures.
The 'country challenger' to Qantas and Virgin Australia says the first Boeing 737s will be darting between Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra, in line with rising vaccination rates and the gradual easing of travel restrictions.
In a statement released this morning, Rex said its intrastate services in NSW and Victoria would also "be progressively ramped up" from November 15, while it planned to resume Boeing 737 flights to Adelaide and the Gold Coast "once the vaccination rates in these states reach the 80% level."
South Australia is currently on track to hit the 80% double-vaccinated milestone by December 2, with Queensland lagging at December 15.
Rex's services to those states covered Melbourne-Adelaide, Melbourne-Gold Coast and Sydney-Gold Coast.
Before suspending its nascent jet network, Rex announced plans to add four more Boeing 737s to its six-strong fleet this year so that it could expand to new destinations and routes including "other capital cities, large regional centres and popular leisure destinations".
However, Rex deputy chairman John Sharp said in August – when the airline reported a loss of $12.7 million for the 2021 financial year – that the airline had pushed back on the delivery of those aircraft until the middle of 2022.
After a brave start for its Boeing 737 services in March 2021, elbowing its way onto the prime Sydney-Melbourne corridor, Rex added the Gold Coast, Adelaide and Canberra to its Boeing 737 network, with low business class fares quickly matched by Virgin Australia as both airlines positioned themselves as mid-market carriers.

Rare opportunity, despite the naysayers - a fully formed airline laying dormant, with trained crew, slots, aircraft, gates, lounges and a regional network… The odds might be against them statistically, but you'd be a fool to write them off - huge potential. From a consumer perspective, can only wish them well.

Q: Get the pronounciation correctness of two audio files using MFCC and DTW First of all, I really don't have an idea about what am I doing with this code. I simply want to compare two .wav files and check the pronunciation correctness. I have searched the internet and found out that this can be done using MFCC and DWT. I got a sample code and It is working fine. But I want to get the distance between the two sounds as a percentage. Can anyone help me with this, please? And How to read this result, 0.0 means original file and testing file, both are same. That means lower the number is better right?
import librosa
from dtw import dtw
from numpy.linalg import norm

y1, sr1 = librosa.load('original.wav')
y2, sr2 = librosa.load('testing_file.wav')

mfcc1 = librosa.feature.mfcc(y1, sr1)
mfcc2 = librosa.feature.mfcc(y2, sr2)

dist, cost, acc_cost, path = dtw(mfcc1.T, mfcc2.T, dist=lambda x, y: norm(x - y, ord=1))
print ('Normalized distance between the two sounds:', dist)
#Normalized distance between the two sounds: 52367.556983947754


Robo-advisors, including Wealthfront and Betterment, aim to take on traditional financial advisors. So how do they stack up?
There are areas where a robot (or, more accurately, an money management platform backed by a sophisticated algorithm) is a far better money manager than either a DIYer or financial advisor.
Most financial advisors charge upwards of one percent of AUM (assets under management) to handle your investment portfolio. In contrast, robo-advisors' fees range from zero, for WiseBanyan and Schwab Intelligent Portfolios to 0.89 per for benefit-rich Personal Capital. Further, many advisors will require clients to have a large minimum account balance; by contrast, Wealthfront will let you in the door with just $500 and Betterment has no minimum to open an account.
The research suggests that rebalancing your investment portfolio back to its preferred asset allocation periodically improves returns and reduces volatility. Rebalancing is a strategy to keep your percentage invested in stocks, bond and other funds constant and in line with your preferences.
You can do this on your own, or have your investment advisor perform this task, but a robo-advisor does a great job of automating this tedious investment task.
Although market-matching returns don't sound glamorous, most active mutual funds fail to meet those metrics. Vanguard and countless academics have compared returns of active fund managers with the market indexes. They've found that most active fund managers fail to beat the market indexes, and that those who manage to outperform one year rarely continue their market-beating returns.
Despite robo-advisors' advantages, there are tasks best left to a human, especially if you're very wealthy and/or have complicated financial needs. Here's where robo-advisors fall short (most of the time).
If you have a high six- or seven-figure net worth, a robo-advisor likely won't be enough for you. You'll need a trusted financial advisor who can examine your entire financial picture, including estate, tax, trusts, and life insurance considerations. A full service financial advisor with a stable of related advisors might be best for your broad economic concerns.
Some robo-advisors, like Betterment, do offer some human assistance. But there offerings will likely fall short of the hands-on, holistic approach of a financial planning practice.
If you want to invest in peer-to-peer lending, master limited partnerships, closed end funds, individual stock, bonds, currencies, options and more, then a robo-advisor won't work. Most robo-advisors are limited in their types of available investments. In fact, there aren't many robo-advisors that provide access to more than 12-25 funds.
If you're an active stock picker and want to work with a financial advisor in an effort to outperform the markets, a robo-advisor isn't for you. Most automated tools aren't flexible enough for investors who want to pick their own assets.
That said, there are a few robo-like investment advisors with a bit more investment flexibility, such as Motif or M1 Finance. And traditional brokerages like Charles Schwab have begun offering automated advisor services, allowing account holders to use a robo-advisor while also taking advantage of the more traditional investments offered by a brokerage.
Most robo-advisors follow an index fund investing strategy, meaning that they'll closely match market performance—but they won't beat it. Some services, including Hedgeable, Q plum, and Betterment's Smart Beta strategies, have unique strategies that attempt to beat the market. But the performance results are still out.
Sophisticated algorithm or not, your robo-advisor probably won't be able to beat the stock market. But then again, neither will your human advisor.

Good coaching is rooted in compassion, support, respect, rapport, and encouragement. Clients are on a personal journey to discover new pathways in their lives and create new realities. Sometimes the most compassionate and supportive thing for a coach to do is speak the raw truth. And sometimes that honest, unvarnished truth hurts—it can be painful for the client to hear.
So out of our good intentions, we may be reluctant to cause pain. It certainly doesn't feel good, and it might be easier to just let it be. But isn't that what good coaching is sometimes—tough love? We should say what we notice as well as we can discern it, and then it's up to the client to decide how to handle what they hear. It is often in our most challenging situations that we grow the most. Thus, wrapped in compassion and care, a great coach will "call it like it is", even when it hurts. Your client needs you to be honest, forthcoming, and kind. You are their partner. Ask yourself, if I have this instinct, observation, or contribution to make, how well am I serving my client if I refrain from sharing it?
We never want to share anything sensitive in an insensitive way or without permission. Sometimes our clients are not in a place where they can either hear it or handle it. We have to meet them where they are. If your observation could be perceived as critical or harsh, you have to ask permission to share something that you think is important but communicate in a way that clearly demonstrates your motive is caring and transparent.
As our client's partner, we are walking along side them in their journey. Our ability to create a safe space and a trusting relationship will allow us to tackle even the most difficult topics with compassion and grace.
