Q: haskell - nested empty lists Hello Haskellers and Haskellettes,
when reading http://learnyouahaskell.com/ a friend of mine came up with a problem:
Is it possible in Haskell to write a recursive function that gives True if all sub-sub-_-sublists are empty. My first guess was - should be - but i have a big problem just writing the type annotation.
he tried something like
nullRec l = if null l
               then True
               else if [] `elem` l
                    then nullRec (head [l]) && nullRec (tail l)
                    else False

which is - not working - :-)
i came up with something like

*

*folding with concat - to get a a single long list
(giving me problems implementing)

*or making an infinite treelike datatype - and making this from the list
(haven't implemented yet)

but the latter sound a bit like overkill for this problem.
what is your ideas - on a sunny sunday like this ;-)
Thanks in advance

as a reaction to all the comments - this being bad style i'd like to add
this is just an experiment!
DO not try this at home! ;-)

A: How about a typeclass?
{-# LANGUAGE FlexibleInstances, OverlappingInstances #-}

class NullRec a where
  nullRec :: a -> Bool

instance NullRec a => NullRec [a] where
  nullRec [] = True
  nullRec ls = all nullRec ls

instance NullRec a where
  nullRec _  = False

main = print . nullRec $ ([[[[()]]]] :: [[[[()]]]])

A: This is not possible using parametric polymorphism only, because of the following.
Consider these values:
x = [8] :: [Int]
y = [3.0] :: [Double]
z = [[]] :: [[Int]]

Obviously, you want your function to work with both x and y, thus its type must be null1 :: [a] -> Bool. (Can someone help me make this argument look formal? How can I show that this is the unique most specific context-less type unifiable with [Int] -> Bool and [Double] -> Bool? Is there a name for that relation between types?)
Now, if you have this type, then null1 z will be equal to null1 x because they differ only in values of the list elements, which are abstracted away from. (Not even close to formal proof again :()
What you want for z is null2 :: [[a]] -> Bool, which will differ in behaviour, and thus giving null1 and null2 the same name will require overloading. (see the FUZxxl's answer)

Teach the speeders a lesson!
Nothing is more annoying than seeing a speeding motorist whiz by, not being pulled over. With radar gun and digital camera technology there could be an integrated device to document a speeder and photograph the car. I think this is already done in Britain and some other places, with automatic cameras.
But why let the robots have all the fun? I think hunting licenses should be sold to allow citizen speeder hunters to check out the speed gun and go shoot some speeders. Imagine the fun of constructing a blind by a likely road then shooting the speed gun at passing speeders. The speedhunters could lay in wait for a particular speeder or shoot at each passing car, as he or she saw fit. The gun would register gathered information for documentation at the cop shop and the speeders would later get a ticket in the mail, together with a code corresponding with the speedhunter who busted them. Speedhunters would get pseudomilitary type medals to document the number of speeders successfully ticketed.
This idea has many beautiful aspects: 1: Capture more revenue from speeders. 2: Capture revenue from speedhunter licenses. 3: Give grumpy self-righteous old guys a good hobby / power trip. 4: Safer roads - Big Brother is watching you!
Mixed. Creating a posse of pseudo-deputized power-tripping para-police is a scary idea.
On the other hand, better enforcement can mean safer roads. If the robotics aren't as efficient as humans at identifying which cars are speeding, then speed blinds could be manned by a new class of lower-cost traffic officers, like meter maids.
I'm sure there are some things more annoying, if you really think about it. Anyway, bad way to start your idea, presuming everyone shares that view. Have to give you a (-) on this one, as I am apt to be the motorist in question.
Come on you guys! Speedhunters! Think: hunting culture hybridized with civic duty! Some love for the speedhunters, please!
I'm afraid that pleading with the masses won't help your collection of aquatic carcasses.
Before this gets stupid, let me just check that you're hunting motorists with a portable speed camera, right? Not a shotgun? Good.
Anyway, what waugsqueke said. I've just finished a very satisfying drive into work, speeding most of the way. It was 6:30 am and the country roads I used were mostly deserted. Where they were not, or there was a danger of side exits or pedestrians, I slowed to UNDER - yes UNDER the speed limit. It is not speed that kills, but irresponsible driving.
I worry about the attitude that spawns this kind of idea. When the aim of law enforcement is to catch people breaking a law, rather than to keep society working, there's something gravely amiss. A cop is trained in their job and has a range of options to remedy a situation, from a slapped wrist to removing someone for a period. A hunter, on the other hand, aims to find people breaking the rules. That's a different mentality, one similar to car-park attendant's or traffic wardens who are given a quota for the number of tickets they need to give out in a period. Use strict rules and you're nabbed, not for causing trouble, but for breaking a rule. Please keep judgement involved, don't rely just on rules. As a programmer I write hundreds of rules a day, and I know the frailty of having strict, machine type enforcement - things get chewed up. In computers, that's just data, in society, that's peoples lives. No-one should be given the job of enforcing a rule in its strict sense without the ability to use judgement to override it.
BTW [Rcomian], traffic wardens (or parking attendants, as they are called in C London) do not have a "quota" of tickets to issue. They _are_ judged on their performance, but a far more appropriate way of doing this is to measure the number of customers who pay tickets issued by each Parking Attendant. Any numbskull can write a ticket, but only a well trained Attendant can issue a ticket that is legally enforceable.
Borough Councils have absolutely no interest in issuing dodgy tickets, as they cause more customer appeals (each appeal costs the council in the region of £25-£70 to investigate and process) and signify lost opportunities (the Attendant could be issuing a valid ticket to another vehicle instead of wasting their time issuing dodgy tickets).
Also, Councils have no interest in "persecuting" any individual. Councils take discrimination very seriously and one of their strong points is that they treat each individual in the same way. No customer is favoured or unfairly disadvantaged. This is why the tabloids have so much fun slating Council's actions in particular cases. A recent legal case in London detailed a Greek landlord who evicted his racist tenant but didn't follow the lawful eviction process. The council then prosecuted him on behalf of the tenant. Unfair?...Possibly, but within the law and processed without discrimination against the tenant or landlord.
If individuals were to enforce laws (speeding) how would discrimination or vendettas be avoided?
Yayyy, Blissmiss in da house. Give up ya love!
" Nothing is more annoying than seeing a speeding motorist whiz by, not being pulled over "
That's it? That's the most annoying thing you have in your life? I must be doing something wrong.

Grieving from New York City : Ensemble presents Joan Didion's play about death

Here are the facts: One day in 2003, author Joan Didion sat down for dinner with her husband, writer John Gregory Dunne. After some small talk he keeled over dead from a heart attack. This happened while their daughter, Quintana, was in the hospital in a coma from septic shock. Two years later, she too died.
More facts: Ms. Didion's memoir of that time, "The Year of Magical Thinking," was released to great critical acclaim, placing it in the company of other noted writing on grief. After her daughter passed away, she adapted, lengthened, and changed the book into a one-woman show for Broadway, where it starred Vanessa Redgrave. And now Ensemble Theater Company, with Linda Purl starring and Jenny Sullivan directing, opened this last weekend.

Director Jenny Sullivan, left, and Linda Purl
When Joan Didion's book "The Year of Magical Thinking" debuted in 2005, it gained accolades as one of the finest contemporary books about the grieving process. Written in 88 days, Ms. Didion took on a time of double tragedy: the sudden death of her husband John Gregory Dunne from cardiac arrest, and the long illness of their daughter, who passed away just as Ms. Didion finished the manuscript.
Two years later, with David Hare directing and Vanessa Redgrave starring, "The Year of Magical Thinking" made its way to Broadway with Ms. Didion's own adaptation of the book into a play. Five years and many accolades later, our Ensemble Theater Company, with Jenny Sullivan directing and Linda Purl starring, bring Ms. Didion's one-woman play to Santa Barbara.

CINCINNATI (AP) —
Macy's plans to hire about 86,000 seasonal holiday workers nationwide to bolster its stores, call centers and distribution hubs. That number represents a 3.6 percent increase from a year ago.
The department store chain, which also operates Bloomingdale's, said Monday that the growth is being fueled by its expanding online business. This year, about 10,000 of the total 86,000 seasonal workers will be based in eight distribution center across the country. Last year, that figure was 7,000, the company said.
Hot seasonal hiring shows improving Tri-State economy
A store's hiring plans can indicate its expectations for the holiday shopping season, which accounts for 20 percent of the retail industry's annual sales, according to the National Retail Federation.
The hiring plans by retailers so far this year suggests rising optimism about the holiday season.
A string of retailers as well as the shipping companies UPS and FedEx have said they plan to boost holiday hiring this year.
UPS was caught off guard last year by spiking online orders, particularly from Amazon.com.
After announcing plans to hire 55,000 seasonal workers, UPS hired 30,000 more. The company this year said it would be hiring 95,000 people to handle the load. FedEx plans to hire more than 50,000 seasonal workers, or 10,000 more than last year.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the nation's largest private employer, plans to hire 60,000 temporary workers, nearly a 10 percent increase over last year.
Kohl's plans to hire more than 67,000 seasonal workers, a 15 percent increase over last year. It expects to hire an average of 50 associates per store, up 25 percent from a year ago.
Still, some merchants say they'll keep their holiday hiring steady with last year's level.
Target Corp. said it will hire 70,000 seasonal workers, even with 2013.

Latinos Want Their News in English
Increasingly, Hispanics are getting their news in English. What is sparking this new media trend? Hispanic Executive takes an inside look at what media companies are doing with this market from blogging to broadcast
By	Melissa French
From media corporations to start-up news websites, the push to deliver culturally relevant news to 52 million people—17 percent of the nation's population—has become more than just a trend; it's become the norm.
Hispanic media long had been told by the voice of Spanish television, newspapers, radio, and Internet outlets. Recently, big names such as NBC, Univision, Fox News, ABC, and CNN have launched Hispanic-focused news in English relevant to the Hispanic community.
Leading networks, traditionally English speaking, are not only delivering their news outfitted to the Latino culture, but they are dedicating Hispanic-centric channels to the trend.
The move has hit every major news platform from mobile to the big screen, cable television, and social media—and the move makes sense with some 74 percent of third-generation Hispanics born in this country consuming their news in English, which according to a 2012 survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, is growing as the dominant language for a large percentage of Hispanics.
News outlets young and old have been scrambling to appropriate content in such a way that appeals the new audiences of our time—people want information, quick, readily available, accurate, and tailored to their interests.
The preeminent outlets carrying the new Hispanic voice are run and managed by Hispanic natives, first and second-generation immigrants.
Finding the right tone, a successful business model and the right outlet to distribute content, emerging media outlets like VOXXI, whose name is a mix of VOX meaning "voice" and XXI meaning "21st," are setting the stage to deliver Hispanics 100 percent original content.
"We seek to do away with stereotypes and discrimination by providing a level playing field where Latinos are informed and united," says Emilio C. Sanchez, president and editor-in-chief of VOXXI.
Sanchez has more than 20 years of experience working in the media industry spanning from reporting jobs in Spain to Belgium to Washington and Miami. The Spanish native knew immediately that he had to create something new—and soon, VOXXI was born. "VOXXI is digital, new and fresh, and reaches new audiences in way that other media outlets left out," Sanchez says.
"We focus on areas where the mainstream media is lacking or where information tailored to Hispanics is missing," says Sanchez, adding the outlet hones in on politics and immigration, an extremely important issue for VOXXI. "We are constantly striving to give immigrants a voice, to dispel any misconceptions about our population."
Several newspapers, including The Tribune Co., and media bodies in New York and Arizona moved towards cross-cultural sharing among ethnic newspapers three years ago focusing on immigration. Many news companies followed suit with new brands popping up quickly with a their own strong voice, content, and audience base, including VOXXI, Hispanicize, Mex in the City, and Guanabee.
Looking at the statistics from the latest US Census, the nation's Latino population grew to more than 50 million, which is up 46.3 percent from 10 years prior; more than double its size from 1990.
Many big names began to yield their news to these statistics. Tribune Co. for example, launched Hoy Chicago, a free newspaper that increased the company's circulation by 40 percent in 2010, according to this year's Annual State of the Media News Report. Based on Hoy's success, Tribune Co. decided to publish several other Hispanic weeklies.
NBC News also looked at this gapping hole and jumped on the opportunity to figure out how they can fit in. In 2012, the news organization launched NBC Latino.com, "a new voice of American Hispanics" which touts itself on taking Hispanic news beyond the usual conversation.
Chris Peña, executive director of NBC Latino describes the news outlet as a digital start-up within a legacy media company, the function of term he calls "interim entrepreneurship." He adds, "There's an ecosystem in place here that is mutually beneficial. We provide culturally developed content, not just on our site, but also throughout the rest of the news organization [NBC News]."
NBC Latino wants to be where the fish are—they want to be on tablets, mobile phones, laptops, and computers. "You have to be in all of those places," Peña says.
"In almost two decades, I've gotten a wide-range of experience and immersion in the media," Peña says. "I've seen it evolve." Peña has been deeply engaged in television news since his senior year of college. He's been a television photographer, editor, director, and executive producer working in Spanish language media and English language news and sports.
Peña careens his personal experience with his professional role in the news organization. He oversees the sites content, which is geared for the target demographic of 25- to 49-year-old Latinos.
A native of the Dominican Republic, Peña came west at the age of seven only speaking Spanish. "That type of aspiration component of the immigrant experience is what we try to convey at NBC Latino. Nobody chooses to leave their homeland because they believe it's going to be worse on the other side where they're going. It's about wanting a better life."
Embracing social media without question
Peña doesn't let his team of nationwide reporters rely on users having a singular URL experience, he wants his reporters and writers to find content through the side door be it on a user's Facebook or Twitter feed. "We need to make sure that our stories are easy to share, that we are engaging our users, we are having real conversations with users," Peña says.
VOXXI has, too, found its way through the digital shift. The outlet has found its strongest voices through social media. "We embrace the changes and opportunities the digital sphere brings us," he says. The independent media company aims to bridge the information gap, connect Hispanics to their culture and relate connections to South America, Central America, and the Caribbean, Sanchez says.
For more than 16 years, the Sofrito Media Group has managed and produced branded projects that appeal to the Latino culture in America, including, but not limited to: web properties, live events, social-media campaigns, Internet radio production, content development, and consulting services. The company's flagship website, Sofrito For Your Soul, is considered one of first Pan-Latino blogs before blogs became a part of mainstream media.
"It's been interesting as this company and the services we offer have been created in a very organic way," says George Torres, founder and CEO of the Sofrito Media Group. "Everything we have done has been to fill a void that existed."
As one of the first players in the Latino stage, Torres says just because you're first, doesn't mean you're doing it right. You personally are your brand, the passion, and the vogue of the Latino culture—a common fashion throughout Hispanic media.
"Social media is important to us because traditional media does not get us," Torres says. "It allows us to share stories that would normally not spread past our immediate circle of influencers offline. It allows us to build relationships that lead to collaborations that build real business opportunity."
For many Hispanic outlets social media is the crux for balancing power of strong cultural influence online; creating a robust digital presence is important because it spreads like wildfire. Whether you're on the corporate c-level or a small start-up, the budget allocated for social media is vast as it drives significant traffic, but you must know whom you are targeting. "It [the Hispanic/Latino audience] is not a monolith; there is homework to be done to successfully capture this audience," Torres says.
Creating a vibrant meeting place
With the Hispanic population quickly embracing new media and utilizing the tools of digital journalism, the emerging market of Hispanic media needed a meeting point to collaborate and celebrate the growing population. Enter Hispanicize, an annual conference for the Latino marketing and blogging industry, which draws comparisons to SXSW, for its tech and media offerings.
Hispanicize was conceived four years ago to fill a void in the Hispanic community. "No event or conference had ever gathered the industries we chose to bring together like we did: social media, marketing, journalism, film, and music. We've given these industries a stronger, united voice," says Manny Ruiz, founder and creative director of the event. Ruiz also is founder of sister companies Hispanicize Wire and Hispanicize digital.
"What unites everyone about the Hispanicize event are three things: everyone attending the event is in some way or another a content creator; a shared interest in the US-Hispanic experience; an intense interest in how digital and social media is impacting all industries. When you put these people together as we have—the energy level and the creativity of Hispanicize is off the charts," Ruiz says.
Cultural parenting gets social
Latina Mom Bloggers brings together 400 Latina bloggers that write about a plethora of topics including parenting, crafting, cooking, cuisine, fashion, lifestyle, and health in both English and Spanish. "Latinas are taking the blogging world by storm," says Cristy Clavijo-Kish, CEO, partner at Hispanicize digital and co-CEO, partner at Latina Mom Bloggers.
The blogging platform along with Hispanicize digital were developed to connect the growing number of bloggers with brands that want to work together under one all-encompassing umbrella platform. "They're creating unique content that connects their cultural heritage to their daily lives and blogging about everything in between," Calvijo-Kish says.
A fervent Hispanic brand builder, Clavijo-Kish was having trouble finding digital content that resonated with Latina mothers from a cultural perspective. There was little content out there to help mothers as their children age into the challenging tween and teenage years. "So much is at stake with the foundation that you lay for your children from school success to self-esteem, socialization, being proud of your cultural heritage, building empathy for others, and more," she says.
The more she searched, the less she found. So she created Los Tweens & Teens, a growing blog resource platform that gives these issues and topics voice. In the fall, Clavijo-Kish is launching My.LosTweens.com, a site that will allow kids and teens together with their parents to create their own content to share with the Hispanic and multicultural community.
Building a new business platform
"To grow quickly, we established a strategy to partner with different companies to give us a strong base and the capability to expand our business," Sanchez says. "We don't use our access to the US-Latino market as the way to improve the relationship with the Hispanic community. We are the community."
"We filter our content at NBC Latino through our mission statement and in the mission statement the very last sentence says take Hispanic views beyond the usual conversation, to something more empowering, more inspiring and more energizing. Our content has to fit within that rubric. I make sure the site stays on track, that we are interfacing well with the larger organization," Peña says.
Covering topics from people and food to education and politics, NBC Latino continues its impassioned search for relevant content. The outlet produces some 4,000 stories per year of original content and reporting. "For me it's all about looking at the landscape for opportunities in which to better our audience with relevant content—grow audiences, grow revenue," Peña says.
VOXXI measures success through awareness, says Sanchez. "We have metrics that we keep, of course, but our most valuable indicator is engagement with our readers and knowing that we are covering information that's important and culturally relevant."
Looking ahead, there's only exponential growth for Hispanic media outlets. The 2011 US population map shows steady growth in traditionally Hispanic areas. New growth is emerging in areas where Hispanics were recently unknown, according the Nielson Company. Outlets have poured the concrete in which the Hispanic community with continue to mold and remodel to fit their ever-changing needs.
The Latino population will continue to swell albeit any immigration impediment. language, culture, and who owns what greatly influence technology and media in the Hispanic market, according to a 2012 Nielson study, which affirms what the market has known for more than a decade: this is a bolstering, rich segment of our society that media outlets nationwide should continue to evolve and embrace. It's no longer a sign of things to come—it is the face of today.

Q: How to put multiple items in one column? I am new to designing websites and I had a question. I am designing the webpage to have 3 columns (fluid layout), and I was wondering how to make it so I can have multiple items in each column? What I am trying to accomplish with this webpage is to embed 9 youtube videos on this webpage, and I want 3 rows, so I need to be able to put 3 stacked over each other in each column. And I'm trying to figure out how to center each video in the columns without using the deprecated center  tag.
Thanks
Heres the coding:
http://jsfiddle.net/5Ajt8/
it looks messed up in the preview on that site so if you copy and paste it out and look in the browser it should look normal

A: Put a table inside one of the columns.

A: You can try either text-align:center; on the container for each column.
You can also wrap each video in its own div and give that div a margin:0 auto

A: By declaring margin-left and margin-right as auto you can center
a block element within it's container.

Q: Spark application gets KILLED abruptly in EMR after 1 hour and livy session expires.What is the cause& solution? I am using JupyterHub on AWS EMR cluster. I am using EMR version 5.16
I submitted a spark application using a pyspark3 notebook.
My application is trying to write 1TB data to s3.
I am using autoscaling feature of the EMR to scale us the task node.
Hardware configurations:
1.Master node:32 GB RAM with 16 cores
2.Core node:32 GB RAM with 16 cores
3.Task node:16 GB with 8 cores each. (Task nodes scales up 15)
I have observed that Spark application gets killed after running for 50 to 60 minutes.
I tried debugging:
1. My cluster still had scope for scaling up. So it is not an issue with a shortage of resources.
2. Livy session also gets killed.
3. In the job log, I saw error message RECVD TERM SIGNAL "Shutdown hook
received"
Please note:
1. I have kept :spark.dynamicAllocation.enabled=true"
2. I am using the yarn fair scheduler with user impersonation in Jupiter hub
Can you please help me in understanding the problem and solution for it?

A: I think that I faced the same problem and I found the solution thanks to this answer.
The issue comes from the Livy configuration parameter livy.server.session.timeout, which sets the timeout for a session by default to 1 hour.
You should set it by adding the following line into the configurations of the EMR cluster.
[{'classification': 'livy-conf','Properties': {'livy.server.session.timeout':'5h'}}]

This solved the issue for me.

Commemoration and Cult of the Fallen (Canada)
By Jonathan F. Vance
Some 70,000 Canadians died while in military service during the First World War, a loss that made commemoration imperative. The memory that emerged stressed the values for which the war had been fought and the new sense of national identity that emerged in its wake. This determination to see the war as a positive, nation-building experience and to provide consolation to grieving families persisted through the Second World War and has been restated in recent decades.
2 The Return to Peace
3 Commemoration in the Interwar Era
4 The Second World War and Beyond
In 1914 Canada was a young nation, founded as a self-governing dominion in 1867 by the union of four colonies of British North America. It was independent in some matters but not others. There was no Canadian citizenship and no power to act independently in foreign policy, a state of affairs that did not trouble the largely pro-British population – although it did rankle some important elements of the French-Canadian minority. Nor was there a strong tradition of a professional military. Instead, from the earliest days of the European presence in North America, Canada relied on the citizen-soldier, the volunteer militiaman who would come forward for service when duty called. That was how Canada entered the war in August 1914 – with a tiny Permanent Force and a Non-Permanent Active Militia of part-time soldiers that was more impressive on paper than in fact. By the time the war ended, the nation of around 7 million people had put roughly 700,000 men and women in uniform, 100,000 of whom were conscripts, called up after voluntarism had run out of steam; some 70,000 never came home. That level of loss for such a young country demanded commemoration, but it also demanded explanation: what had it been for?
The Return to Peace↑
Canada's soldiers returned to heroes' welcomes in 1919 – cheering crowds, brass bands, parades, thanksgiving banquets. The nation would do right by them, politicians had promised; veterans would enjoy the fruits of their sacrifices in a land fit for heroes. As Prime Minister Robert Borden (1854-1937) had told them two years earlier:
You need have no fear that the Government and the Country will fail to show just appreciation of your service to the Country and Empire ... no man, whether he goes back or whether he remains in Flanders, will have just cause to reproach the Government for having broken with the men who won and the men who died.[1]
Many soldiers were impressed by Borden's pledge and confident that a grateful nation would discharge its debt to those who had served, the survivors and the fallen.
Civilians were just as hopeful. Canada's war effort had been about self-sacrifice, cooperation, and unity in a common cause. The same unity and sense of purpose that helped transform the Canadian Corps into the shock troops of the British Empire would be brought home to build a finer nation – more united, more egalitarian, more open-minded. Canadians would not allow the country to slip back into the old ways of suspicion, competition and self-interest. Commemoration in postwar Canada was a direct response to this challenge: to remember the war and to use that memory as a force for good at home.
That sense of optimism was one of the first casualties of the post-war era. The great homecoming coincided with a year of unprecedented labour strife, as striking workers downed tools and took to the streets. Politics became more divisive, with fringe and special-interest parties splintering the political spectrum. Inflation jumped as unemployment rose; ex-soldiers, tagged as unreliable workers by a public that no longer seemed so grateful, were particularly hard hit. The wounded veteran benefited from a new healthcare system built on the Military Hospitals Commission, but there was less for the able-bodied man. Once the parades and banquets had finished, the new veteran was left with his uniform and tin hat, a $35 clothing allowance, and a negligible War Service Gratuity. For everything else, he was on his own. It was not long before the returned man realized what that meant. Pensions were niggardly and tough to chisel out of the government. A soldier settlement scheme put veterans on inferior land and saddled them with excessive costs. Retraining programs were effective, but only a tiny minority of veterans could qualify. Much had been promised, but little was delivered. Rhetoric that made good patriotic sense in 1917 made bad economic sense in 1919, and the government felt less inclined to show its appreciation for ex-soldiers in the chilly economic climate of the postwar depression and with a war debt of well over $2 billion hanging over its head. The nation was willing to help veterans to their feet, but would not do much to ensure that they stayed there.
But if the sacrifice of four years of war had not built a better country, what had it been for? Because there were so few tangible gains from the Great War that people could point to – daylight savings time hardly seemed a sufficient gain – commemoration focused on intangibles, on the timeless values that had been at the heart of Allied propaganda since 1914. For civilians, this meant liberty, democracy, Christianity, freedom, justice, western civilization – in a word, Right. The moral understanding of the war as a simple struggle between good and evil was restated, while the more tawdry geopolitical motives that emerged from post-war memoirs and government publications were pushed aside. For ex-soldiers, the gift of comradeship was the great compensation; whatever they had endured at the front, they had done so in the company of true friends who constituted the brotherhood of the trenches. And for all Canadians, there was the certainty that a new and vibrant national identity had emerged from the sacrifices of war and the cooperative spirit that had enabled the Canadian Corps to achieve such great victories.
In this mythology, the fallen soldier encapsulated all of these intangibles. He was a modern Christian knight, defending the faith against the infidel. He was the idealist who fought not for gain but to preserve values. He was the nation-builder, the incarnation of a country maturing on the world stage and heir to generations of Canadian soldiers through history. And he was the common man, the Canadian boy shaped by frontier and farm. Healthy and vigorous, the citizen-soldier's stubborn individuality stood in sharp contrast to the automatons of European militarism and the inhuman mechanization of war. His youthful vitality hinted at immense potential. He was the nation's past, present and future, the embodiment of its aspirations and promise.
Commemoration in the Interwar Era↑
The fallen soldier was at the heart of a commemorative impulse in post-Armistice Canada that was intense and immediate. The overwhelming emotions throughout society must have been relief and exhaustion, but there was no evident desire to turn the page on the war. There was no unspoken agreement that the previous four years should not be discussed, no decade-long moratoria on anything to do with the Western Front. The war had been a great national experience that was simply too important to be pushed aside. To commemorate it was a public duty.
That was how many communities saw the erection of a war memorial: as a public duty. Canada lacked a strong tradition of public art before 1914, although a few important monuments had been erected to commemorate the fallen of the War of 1812, the Crimean War, the South African War, and other conflicts. In 1915, the soldier and artist Alexander Young Jackson (1882-1974) had predicted sourly that war memorials would soon "disfigure every town and village in the country." [2] He was right to foresee their omnipresence but wrong to imagine that they would become eyesores. In fact, they are some of the most poignant and powerful testaments to the nation's history.
War memorials were erected in astonishing numbers, perhaps as many as 10,000, but even more striking than the quantity is the sheer variety. They fall generally into two types: the aesthetic, whose sole purpose is to commemorate, and the utilitarian, which perform some other function beyond the commemorative. Within these categories, Canadians were remarkably ingenious in devising meaningful forms. A cairn built of local stone allowed all members of a community to make a tangible contribution to the monument. A captured German artillery piece celebrated the victory of Canadian soldiers on the battlefield. A stand of trees reminded observers of the power of the regenerative process. A war memorial school ensured that children were constantly reminded of those who died to preserve their way of life. Canada certainly has its share of mass-marketed marble soldiers, but there are many other inspired memorials, including neo-Gothic bell towers, stately cenotaphs (many patterned on the Whitehall cenotaph in London), scholarships, art collections, libraries, and monuments that defy both sense and taste. Walter Allward's (1876-1955) memorial at Vimy Ridge, a piece of high ground that the Canadian Corps captured over the Easter weekend in 1917, Frederick Clemesha's (1876-1958) Brooding Soldier at Saint Julien, Belgium, where the 1st Canadian Division withstood German gas attacks during the Second Battle of Ypres in April 1915, and Vernon March's (1891-1930) National War Memorial in Ottawa are among the nation's finest, but charming and equally evocative memorials can be found across the country: a tin-hatted infantryman in Wolfville, Nova Scotia; a dignified obelisk in Kamsack, Saskatchewan; a marble infant at play in Chesley, Ontario.
Commemoration took other forms as well. It was understood that the history of the war should be recorded as part of any commemorative effort, and so Canadian publishers and printers churned out war histories of military units, towns, churches, schools and businesses, not to mention memorial volumes commissioned by grieving families. There was an avalanche of war literature – novels, short stories, poems, plays – that had an underlying commemorative element, although it was not always immediately obvious. One of the most popular acts in the post-war era was The Dumbells (the name comes from their divisional insignia within the Canadian Corps), a vaudeville troupe that parlayed its popularity with the soldiers it entertained at the front into a thriving post-war career that included cross-Canada tours and even a sold-out run on Broadway. Veterans groups were implicitly commemorative in nature as well. Ex-soldiers had started organizing as early as 1916; after the units of the Canadian Expeditionary Force came home in 1919, the vast majority of them organized clubs of former soldiers. These were in addition to the larger veterans groups, such as the Great War Veterans Association, many of which would eventually amalgamate into the Canadian Legion of the British Empire Service League in 1925. The Legion stated as one of its primary goals "to perpetuate the memory and deeds of those who have fallen," an aim that underpinned almost everything that veterans organizations did.[3] In their reunions, their publications, their political lobbying and their public statements, they upheld the idealized version of the fallen soldier and the sanctity of the ideals for which he died.
As the interwar years passed, commemoration became less intense, not necessarily because of a desire to put the experience into the past but because so much had already been done – towns had their memorials, veterans had their associations, units had their histories. An example of this more sober and reflective turn came in 1931, when an act of Canada's Parliament changed the name of Armistice Day to Remembrance Day. There were many motives behind the legislation, but the overarching concern was that Armistice Day was too closely linked to a particular historical event. When it was first observed, Armistice Day had been about victory (the 1921 legislation referred specifically to the day "in which the Great War was triumphantly concluded"), but a decade later Canadians no longer had the same need to celebrate the day when Germany had admitted defeat.[4] Much more fitting for the time was the name Remembrance Day, which was directed at a general spirit of commemoration.
But the tenets of Remembrance Day, and of commemoration more broadly, scarcely changed through this settling process. Indeed the first attempt to standardize the observance, mounted by a citizens' group called the Armistice Ceremonial Committee, accepted as a given that the ceremony should be built around the same elements that had been in use for the previous decade: the anthem "Chant for Dead Heroes" and the hymn "O God Our Help in Ages Past," the Last Post and Reveille, "God Save the King," the moment of silence.[5] Through the 1930s, as the Great Depression ravaged the country and idled as much as a third of the working population, there were fewer memorials unveiled and fewer histories and memoirs published but, like Remembrance Day services, they tended to follow the established patterns. Anti-war sentiment existed, but pacifism remained a fringe ideology and its adherents' attempts to recast the memory of the First World War fell on deaf ears. As the dictators tightened their grip on Europe and another war seemed more imminent, the most common argument in the public discourse was that events were affirming not the arguments of pacifists and isolationists on the evils of militarism and state violence, but the notion of war as a vital and honourable defence of sacred principles – one of which was peace. Musings on the state of the world in the late 1930s were often tinged by this apparent contradiction: the First World War had taught, at the same time, the importance of peace and the illogic of pacifism.
The Second World War and Beyond↑
The course of the Second World War had the same impact. It verified that the cause of 1914-1918 had been right and good; it had not been The War to End War, but that conflict would come if the world remained vigilant in defence of the values embodied by the fallen soldier of the Great War. At every opportunity, connections were drawn between the memory of the First World War and the reality of the Second. Poets were fond of observing that the soldier of 1939 was following in the footsteps of the soldier of 1914: "The sons shall sleep beneath the soil that holds their fathers' dust," wrote one Ontario poet.[6] Remembrance Day services in the early 1940s differed very little from those that had been held in the 1920s and 1930s, and scarcely mentioned the war that was in progress. And no poem written during the Second World War was able to unseat John McCrae's (1872-1918) "In Flanders Fields" as the verse most often used for commemorative purposes.
Through the 1950s, the memory of the First World War continued to overshadow that of the Second. After 1945, Canada did indeed become a land fit for heroes, for the tangible gains of the war were everywhere: full employment, a robust and growing GNP, generous veterans benefits, industrial expansion, rising rates of home ownership, a baby boom, a vibrant consumer economy. The generation of people who fought the Second World War had no need to take refuge in the glories of its war; they were too busy enjoying the fruits of victory. And so the Great War continued to dominate many of the conduits of memory. Veterans' organizations were run by soldiers of the Great War well into the 1960s. A decade after the end of the Second World War, fully two-thirds of the Canadian Legion's membership still consisted of veterans of the First World War, and its magazine, The Legionary, was still dominated by articles and photographs relating to that war. To write their official histories, military units tended to turn to senior historians or veterans of the Great War – such as Kim Beattie (1900–1963), Will R. Bird (1891-1984), Robert Collier Fetherstonhaugh (1892-1949), G. R. Stevens (1892–1975), the very same men who had written such volumes in the interwar era. Communities, rather than building another war memorial, simply added more names and dates to the Great War memorial. Inevitably, such additions were off to one side or along the bottom, a spatial recognition of the different weight placed on the wars in the public memory.
Since then, the memory of the First World War has waxed and waned. When in the early 1960s Britain took an anti-war turn in remembering 1914-1918, Canada followed. In 1964, a documentary produced by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation selectively used oral history interviews to tell the story of mud, blood, and poppycock that had been popularized in the stage play Oh! What a Lovely War and books such as Leon Wolff's (1914–1991) In Flanders Fields and Alan Clark's (1928-1999) The Donkeys – even though the raw transcripts revealed no such interpretation. Most of the veterans interviewed did not raise those notions on their own but were pushed in that direction by interviewers. Veterans who attempted to disagree with their questioners were brushed off or dismissed as having lapses in memory.
More recently, the Battle of Vimy Ridge in April 1917 has been enshrined as the centrepiece of Canada's memory of the First World War, for it was there that the four divisions of the Canadian Corps first fought together as a unit, capturing a feature that the British and French had failed to take. Novelists and journalists rhapsodize over it, schoolchildren study it, and politicians make pilgrimages to the site of the memorial in France. That memorial even adorns the new Canadian $20 bill. Vimy as the cradle of the Canadian nation has become an article of faith in Canada's collective memory; in a typical phrase, Veterans Affairs Canada refers to Vimy Ridge as "a key turning point in shaping Canada as a nation."[7] This is in spite of the fact that the battle was a single bright spot in the disappointing Allied offensive in Artois in the spring of 1917 and had no discernible impact on the outcome of the war. Sir Arthur Currie (1875-1933), commander of the Canadian Corps and the nation's most distinguished general, had predicted this privileging of Vimy decades earlier, when the Canadian Battlefield Memorials Commission was beginning its work. "I do not want to have the impression left," he told the Commission in 1920, "that Vimy was our greatest battlefield." Other successes, such as the breaking of the Drocourt-Quéant switch line or the crossing of the Canal du Nord, were far more decisive in contributing to the eventual Allied victory, but Currie had to admit that they lacked the emotional appeal of Vimy.[8] Modern critics who argue that the emphasis on Vimy as a militaristic symbol of unity and cooperation is misguided have had to concede the same point as Currie.
Conclusion↑
In the immediate aftermath of the Armistice of 1918, Canada's memory of the First World War was primarily directed at finding consolation in loss. Through the Depression, the Second World War and the post-1945 boom, it served to validate the losses of 1914-1918 as a worthwhile sacrifice. Although the anti-war sentiment of the Vietnam era called these assumptions into question, the traditional memory of the First World War re-emerged in the 2000s, in a form that Canadians of a century earlier would have found very familiar. Canada has always remembered the First World War that it needed, not necessarily the war that had actually occurred.

Abuhimed Alsheikh Alhagbani Law Firm (AS&H) in co-operation with Clifford Chance has advised the Saudi Investment Bank (SAIB) on the "First of its Kind" transaction for the sale of treasury shares (through a rights issue mechanism) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
A total of 9.75 million treasury shares of the SAIB were sold directly by SAIB for just under SAR 152 million (USD 40.5 million approximately) with coverage reaching 648% by the end of the offering. The transaction process followed the rights issue mechanism implemented by Tadawul, whereby SAIB's shareholders were granted rights of priority over the treasury shares (in proportion to their shareholdings), entitling them to trade those rights in the market during the trading period, with the rights holders (being those shareholders holding the rights or new investors who have purchased the rights in the market) being entitled to purchase the shares at the end of the subscription period (as would be the case in a traditional rights issue). Specific regulatory waivers and non-objections were required for this transaction, considering its novelty in KSA.
The team was led by partner and Head of Capital Markets and Financial Regulatory - Mansoor Alhagbani, with support from Senior Associate Sultan F. Al-Fayez.
AS&H acted as transaction counsel and advised on all aspects of this transaction, including in respect of the regulatory approvals and waivers needed, the offering document to be presented to the shareholders (including drafting thereof), announcements to be made in respect of the transaction and other pertinent matters.
AS&H was previously involved in aspects of the transaction relating to the purchase of the treasury shares by SAIB.
This transaction further solidifies AS&H's unrivalled record of advising on "First of a Kind" deals in Saudi Arabia and confirms the Firm's repute as the "Go-To" firm for innovative and ground-breaking deals in the Kingdom.

Q: Through two given points on a circle, construct two parallel chords with a given sum. The problem is from Kiselev's Geometry exercise 317.

Through two given points on a circle, construct two parallel chords with a given sum.

Here is what I have tried so far:
Mark the two points by $A$ and $C$ respectively. If we have constructed such two chords and marked the two other points by $B$ and $D$, the quadrilateral $ABCD$ is an isosceles trapezoid where $AC$ is a diagonal and (without loss of generality) $AB$ and $CD$ are parallel. The midline of the bases measures half of the given sum, and it passes through the midpoint of the diagonal $AC$.
Unfortunately, I could not progress any further from here; I think I should utilize the fact that the 4 points are concyclic and $ABCD$ is an isosceles trapezoid, but I could not find usage of the fact.
Any help would be much appreciated.

A: Consider the picture:

Let $A$ and $B$ be the two points, and $AC$ and $BD$ be the desired chords; let $AC+BD=a$. Assume first that the situation is like on the picture, i.e. $C$ and $D$ are on the same side with respect to $AB$. Consider central symmetry with respect to $S$, $\mathcal S_S$, where $S$ is the midpoint of $AB$; so $\mathcal S_S(A)=B$ and $\mathcal S_S(B)=A$. Let $\mathcal S_S(C)=C'$ and $\mathcal S_S(D)=D'$. Then $AD'=BD$ and $AD'\parallel BD$, so $A$, $D'$ and $C$ are colinear and $CD'=a$. Also $\angle BCA=\angle BD'A=:\alpha$ as these are inscribed angles over $AB$ in congruent circles. Thus $BC=BD'$.
Note that a triangle congruent to $\triangle BCD'$ can be constructed: $CD'=a$ is known, as well as $\alpha$ (inscribed angle over $AB$ in the given circle). Thus the measure of $BC$ can be constructed, so $C$ can be constructed as well. Finally, $D$ can be trivially constructed.
The case when $C$ and $D$ are on the opposite sides with respect to $AB$ is similar, just one has to consider the translation $\mathcal T_{\overrightarrow{AB}}$ rather than $\mathcal S_S$.

A:
Let Q, R be the given points. QRBA the given circle. Partition the line segment of summed length QP at A.
Draw a parallel through B and parallelly transfer AP to BR. The point R must lie on the circle because $\alpha,\beta$  are opposite supplementary angles in a cyclic quadrilateral.
Likewise transfer AQ to BS. Draw congruent circle PABS. Let the diameter of circles be $d$. The geometric construction is anti-symmetric with respect to mid-point of AB.
First I approached in the way you suggested.But partitioning into AP, AT instead of AT, AQ led me into errors.
Fwiw found the following relation by Sine Rule relevant to the construction involving a side, diagonal ( of isosceles trapezium AQRB ) and distance between given parallel lines $h$.
$$ r_1\cdot r_2= h\cdot d  $$

Nature vs Nurture: How Social and Behavioral Data is Helping Reshape the Healthcare Landscape
The acclaimed 2018 documentary, Three Identical Strangers, recounts the true story of three identical triplets, Eddy Galland, David Kellman, and Robert Shafran, who were separated and put up for adoption at birth. Each grew up without ever knowing that they had a sibling, let alone two. Years later, they were reunited: spurring plenty of discussion about nature vs. nurture.
The debate surrounding nature vs. nurture -- meaning the extent to which human behavior is determined by our environment vs. our genetics -- has been ongoing for many, many years. But how does this apply not just to behavior, but also our health?
The answer is: Probably a whole lot more than we might think. Factors like genetic predisposition to certain diseases are well known. However, our societal factors have a big part to play as well, often far more than our genetics.
The factors that go into health outcomes
According to a McKinsey report, social and behavioral determinants of health -- meaning the non-medical factors influencing health outcomes, such as where a person works or lives, social policies and more -- far outweigh any other factor when it comes to overall health outcomes. While nonmodifiable factors like genetics represent 25% of health outcome results, and clinical care represents 15%, social determinants account for an incredible 40% and health behaviors 20% of overall health outcomes. That's 60% between them. Take a second to let that sink in.
For years, however, these social and behavioral determinants have been severely downplayed in terms of importance. There's a good reason for it, too. For the longest time, this data has been in short supply meaning that, even if patients and physicians were aware of it, they weren't necessarily in a position to act on it.
But things are changing -- and fast. The same McKinsey report notes that, over a patient's lifetime, just 0.4 terabytes of clinical data is typically gathered. However, during that same time period, health behaviors and the social determinants of health -- the two areas we can most proactively affect as individuals -- generate an enormous 1,000 terabytes of data. In other words, the typical individual will generate 2,750x more data that relates to social and environmental influences than they will from clinical factors. While this must've always been true to an extent, thanks to advances in technology, the amount of data we're able to gather about our behaviors and surroundings is increasing all the time as well.
The holy grail of health outcomes
Tapping these rich veins of data can make truly individualized healthcare, the holy grail of health outcomes, a reality. Personalized healthcare that treats every patient as an individual isn't just a buzzword referring to good customer service, but rather the revolutionary idea that patients should be treated as singular individuals rather than being lumped in with an anonymous group of others who just happen to share their diagnosis.
The push toward personalized healthcare can be seen throughout the cutting edge of medicine and healthcare research. For example, drug researchers are working to create personalized therapies, including use of patients' unique cells or delivering specially targeted genetic materials that can treat diseases more effectively. In cancer management, nonspecific chemotherapy for cancer treatment exposes patients to significant adverse effects, but is suboptimal in its results. However, by utilizing large scale sequencing, more personalized therapies -- with better patient outcomes -- can be developed.
On the horizon there is even the possibility of 3D bioprinting technology being used to create custom-printed organs or "organoids" for testing treatment courses on or, eventually, implanting into patients. The societal benefit is improved precision medicine tailored to the individual.
Alike is focused on personalizing healthcare by bringing together the massive amounts of data now available about patients and using AI algorithms to connect patients to others who share a high measure of similarity, going way beyond the basics of a simple diagnosis. The goal is to create proactive models built around personalized healthcare instead of simply population-based reactive models.
The Alike revolution
Alike uses your de-identified electronic medical record and other socio-demographic data to "compare" you to every other person in the Alike system. You are then given an "Alikeness" score for each other patient: the higher the score, the more you have in common.
What makes Alike so powerful is that similarities run much deeper than simply sharing a medical diagnosis. Instead, the people you match closest to (your "Alikes") might also be of a similar age to you, take the same medication, or have undergone the same surgical procedure, and more.
Connecting with your Alikes lets you develop meaningful relationships with other people who are sharing the same (and often life-changing) journey as yourself. Patients can share medical experiences, health tips, and gain personalized insights from each other that help to manage not only the burden of disease, but the disease progression itself.
Now is your chance to be part of the biggest paradigm shift seen in healthcare for decades. We no longer need to accept second-rate, generalized, healthcare that prioritizes insurance premiums over patient outcomes.

Terroir and Grand Cru: a Vertical of Clos des Lambrays
Posted on April 16, 2014 by Benjamin Lewin
A vertical tasting of Clos des Lambrays led me to wonder about the whole basis for classification in Burgundy. "Clos des Lambrays is very heterogeneous. There is 60 m difference in elevation between the top and bottom, the largest in any appellation except for Corton. There is strong diurnal variation with more cooling at the bottom, which is in a valley," says winemaker Thierry Brouin, introducing a vertical tasting of Clos des Lambrays.
So why is Clos des Lambrays a single appellation if it's so varied? Its 9 ha are the largest clos in Burgundy under (almost) single ownership; Domaine des Lambrays owns all except for a tiny plot owned by Taupenot-Merme at the bottom. The clos has three separate microclimates: a large block at the center (Les Larrets), 2 ha at the northern end (Les Bouchots), and 1 ha at the southeast corner (Meix Rentier). Lots of limestone produces elegance in the wine.
References to Cloux des Lambrey go back to 1365. It was divided between 74 owners after the Revolution, but reunited in 1868. Clos des Lambrays was classified as a premier cru because the owner of the time could not be bothered to submit the paperwork for submission as a grand cru in 1936. In any case, the estate was somewhat neglected until a change of ownership in 1979, when Thierry came as winemaker. It changed hands again in 1996, and now has just been purchased by LVMH.
Clos des Lambrays was promoted to Grand Cru in 1981. This is definitely a curiosity. Changes in appellation status are extremely rare, and bespeak political influence as well (hopefully) as a detailed reconsideration of terroir. Surely in Burgundy of all places we expect a Cru to describe a single type of terroir: how else to justify all those tiny, tiny appellations? The major exception is Clos Vougeot, well known to have been made a single grand cru because of the history of its enclosure into a single vineyard (although the monks in fact made multiple cuvées from its different parts: supposedly the bottom part was for the monks, the middle part for higher churchmen, and the top for princes). As everyone acknowledges that Clos Vougeot can range from communal level to grand cru level, why is Clos des Lambrays different?
"People often say to me, Thierry, why don't you make a cuvée from the best two or three plots, but we don't want to do that, Lambrays is not the best two or three cuvées, it is the assemblage of its different terroirs," says Thierry. In fact, Thierry regards the sale to LVMH as potentially saving the clos from being seized by SAFER (a French government body that redistributes vineyards), in which case it very likely would have been broken up into many different plots, and the history lost once again. Fair enough: but this makes the point that the appellation is not in fact a construct of geography, or at least not entirely so, but in reality owes more to history. This is a dangerous precedent for consistency in the system.
In addition to Clos des Lambrays, Domaine des Lambrays also produces two other red cuvées: Les Loups comes from declassified young vines of the clos together with two premier cru sites (La Riotte and Le Village), and there is a communal Morey St. Denis. There are also whites from tiny plots in two Puligny Montrachet premier crus (Caillerets and Folatières). Occasionally there is a rosé. In fact, the tasting started with the 2013 rosé, and very fine it was too, with the grand cru quality of the grapes bringing a wonderful fragrance. "The rosé is made on the sorting table, when grapes that are not completely ripe are selected out. Direct pressurage is followed by fermentation in stainless steel. We don't like to make it too often because the appellation is only Bourgogne," Thierry explains.
Well what about the wines of Clos des Lambrays? Winemaking is quite traditional, with fermentation of whole bunches irrespective of vintage. This may be one reason why the wines remain moderate in alcohol and are not excessively colored. "Pinot Noir is the least black grape in the world – it is red – even Gamay in Beaujolais has more color. When you see a black Pinot Noir, it's too extracted," is Thierry's view.
The vertical extended from 2012 to 1999 and the style certainly showed through. Some people describe Clos des Lambrays as showing blue fruits: I wouldn't quite use that term, but I would describe the style as upright. Younger vintages can seem tight, and older vintages – at least in the span of this tasting – soften slowly, with fruits moving from cherries more towards strawberries, but not yet evolving in a savory or tertiary direction. As a result, vintage character shows through really clearly, from the softest 2002 (you should drink this now, says Thierry), the rich 2005, 2009, and 2012, to the leaner 2006 and 2008 (showing great precision). A fair summary is that the style focuses on purity of fruit. Running counter to the modern trend, these are definitely not wines for instant gratification: it remains to be seen how that will play under the aegis of LVMH.
