March 5: lecture by Vivek Chibber 'The Promise and Perils of Postcolonial Theory'
In recent years, postcolonial theory has emerged as the most influential scholarly framework for understanding the Global South. It is known for its criticism of Western theories, especially Marxism, and as not only being inadequate but even complicit in Europe's imperial project. But while the concerns of postcolonial theory are legitimate, its alternatives are not. In fact, under the guise of its critique of Eurocentrism, the theory has resurrected many of the oldest European myths about the East. Through an examination of some key postcolonial thinkers, we show that it fails both as a framework and as political critique. Vivek Chibber is a professor of sociology at New York University. His latest book is Postcolonial Theory and the Specter of Capital. Thursday, March 5, 20.00

Today's Wonder of the Day was inspired by Jessie. Jessie Wonders, "If slavery really ended, when did slavery end?" Thanks for WONDERing with us, Jessie!
How do you celebrate freedom? Do you set off fireworks in America on July 4? If you live in Myanmar, you might throw a party on January 4. Maybe you read the Grito de Dolores on September 16. People celebrate liberty in many ways!
Do you live in a country that has freedom of speech, press, and religion? If so, you're lucky. Many people don't have those rights. Even within countries, some people may have less liberty than others.
For example, freedom was kept from Black people in America for about 300 years. Instead of being free, they were enslaved. Slavery destroyed millions of lives and still has long-reaching consequences in modern-day society.
Today, many Americans celebrate the end of slavery. Are you WONDERing on which day they do so? It's not January 1, the day President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. It's also not April 9, the day the Civil War ended. You might think it's December 6, the day slavery was made illegal by the 13th Amendment. But that's not it, either! People celebrate the end of slavery on June 19.
This holiday is called "Juneteenth." It's the date slavery ended in Texas, which was the westernmost state in the Confederacy. During the Civil War, many enslavers relocated to Texas as the Union Army moved through the South. They did so to keep people under their power for longer.
Communication moved slowly back then. There were no telephones, and there definitely wasn't email. News of the end of slavery took a long time to reach Texas. Months after the end of the Civil War, many Black people in Texas were still enslaved.
On June 19, 1865, General Gordon Granger rode into Galveston, Texas. There, he made it known that slavery was over. The 250,000 enslaved people in Texas were free. It was two months after the Civil War ended and two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. However, enslavers didn't want to accept the news. It was some time before people felt free.
The first Juneteenth celebration was held in 1866. There, Black Americans read the Emancipation Proclamation and prayed together. They spent time with their friends and families and sang hymns. Black Americans in Texas kept celebrating Juneteenth each year. As they moved to other parts of the country, the holiday spread.
Slavery was over—but there was still a long fight ahead. It was several more years before Black people gained citizenship and the right to vote. For decades, they lived under segregation. They dealt with brutal treatment from White people who didn't see them as equals. Today, Black Americans and their allies still work to achieve racial equity.
Juneteenth celebrations fell away in the early 1900s. However, they were revived in 1968. Reverend Ralph Abernathy's Poor People's March in Washington, D.C., helped bring the holiday back. On January 1, 1980, Juneteenth became an official state holiday in Texas. Today, more than 40 states and Washington, D.C., observe Juneteenth.
Do you celebrate Juneteenth? If so, you know the holiday is very special. Some families have cookouts. Others put on skits or share family stories. Many communities have parades. Often, it's a time for community elders to pass on wisdom and for people to honor their shared history. How do you mark special occasions with your family and friends?

Tomorrow's Wonder of the Day is one of the coolest you'll ever read!
Are you ready to celebrate Juneteenth? Grab a few friends or family members to help you check out the following activities:
In the early years of Juneteenth celebrations, it was not always easy to find a place to hold a large celebration. Some towns and cities even prohibited Juneteenth celebrations on public property. These efforts did not stop groups of Black Americans from banding together to purchase property to use for Juneteenth celebrations. Emancipation Park in Houston is one example of these efforts. Click the link to learn more about the history of this beautiful park!
Explore The Emancipation Proclamation online exhibit on the National Archives website. Learn more about the history of Lincoln's proclamation and see photos of the original document. What did this proclamation do? Why was it important? Discuss with a friend or family member.
As of 2021, Juneteenth is now a national holiday. How might you and your family best observe the day? Talk with your family and make a list of ways you can learn about the history of Juneteenth and support your community on the holiday. You could even plan a celebration or find a local Juneteenth party to attend! Have fun planning how to observe this holiday with your family.

Hyperspectral and Physiological Analyses of Coral-Algal Interactions
Katie Barott, Jennifer Smith, Elizabeth Dinsdale, Mark Hatay, Stuart Sandin, Forest Rohwer
Space limitation leads to competition between benthic, sessile organisms on coral reefs. As a primary example, reef-building corals are in direct contact with each other and many different species and functional groups of algae. Here we characterize interactions between three coral genera and three algal functional groups using a combination of hyperspectral imaging and oxygen microprofiling. We also performed in situ interaction transects to quantify the relative occurrence of these interaction on coral reefs. These studies were conducted in the Southern Line Islands, home to some of the most remote and near-pristine reefs in the world. Our goal was to determine if different types of coral-coral and coral-algal interactions were characterized by unique fine-scale physiological signatures. This is the first report using hyperspectral imaging for characterization of marine benthic organisms at the micron scale and proved to be a valuable tool for discriminating among different photosynthetic organisms. Consistent patterns emerged in physiology across different types of competitive interactions. In cases where corals were in direct contact with turf or macroalgae, there was a zone of hypoxia and altered pigmentation on the coral. In contrast, interaction zones between corals and crustose coralline algae (CCA) were not hypoxic and the coral tissue was consistent across the colony. Our results suggest that at least two main characteristic coral interaction phenotypes exist: 1) hypoxia and coral tissue disruption, seen with interactions between corals and fleshy turf and/or some species of macroalgae, and 2) no hypoxia or tissue disruption, seen with interactions between corals and some species of CCA. Hyperspectral imaging in combination with oxygen profiling provided useful information on competitive interactions between benthic reef organisms, and demonstrated that some turf and fleshy macroalgae can be a constant source of stress for corals, while CCA are not.

Hyperspectral imaging in combination with oxygen profiling provided useful information on competitive interactions between benthic reef organisms, and demonstrated that some turf and fleshy macroalgae can be a constant source of stress for corals, while CCA are not.

Recently Isaac and I modelled for our friend Candy of Candy Capco Photography. Any chance to work with Candy gives me joy for two reasons, one I end up with breathtakingly beautiful photos to keep forever and ever, amen and two I get to spend time with a close friend.
And so, that was that. Here is my poem for you to enjoy in its entirety. May you appreciate its beauty and emotional power in your own special way. I truly, truly, truly feel that is what Candy's work deserves.
I hope, even just for a moment these pictures stirred a little warmth in your heart. Candy wrote about this shoot on her website, do give it a read, here.

Q: Excel - VBA Merging cells on separate worksheet I have sheet 1 active, and I'm trying to perform a merge operation on some cells in Sheet 2, but I'm getting a 'Method 'Range of object '_Worksheet' failed'' error.

For i = 2 To 12 Step 2

However it does work if I insert a rawData.Activate line beforehand. Is there any way to accomplish this without activating the sheet first?

A: Range/Cells without a qualifying worksheet always refer to the activesheet (unless in a Worksheet code module, where they refer to that worksheet).
Using/relying on the default behavior (ie. relying on a certain sheet being active when your code runs) should be avoided whenever possible.

Samoa, officially the Independent State of Samoa, formerly known as Western Samoa, is an Oceanian country encompassing the western part of the Samoan Islands in the South Pacific Ocean. It became independent from New Zealand in 1962. The two main islands of Samoa are Upolu and Savai'i, one of the biggest islands in Polynesia. The capital city, Apia, and Faleolo International Airport are situated on the island of Upolu. Samoa was admitted to the United Nations on 15 December 1976. The entire island group, which includes American Samoa, was called "Navigator Islands" by European explorers before the 20th century because of the Samoans' seafaring skills.

The recent election of Robert Gabriel Mugabe as the chairperson of the African Union took several people in Africa and the world at large by surprise. To many in Africa, the Zimbabwean leader needs no introduction.
One of Africa's longest serving presidents (world's oldest), Mugabe has been in power for 35 years and has snubbed the West where he is regarded a leader of a failed state.
Until recently he has been facing sanctions imposed on him by the European Union and the United States (travel ban) after he prominently promoted a land reform program that is widely regarded as a disenfranchisement of the white settler community in Zimbabwe.
Today, for the first time since execution of the controversial plan, Mugabe publicly conceded "mistakes were made" as blacks haven't made good use of the land.
ugabe, Africa's third longest serving president, was elected by his colleagues at the 24th AU summit (23-31 January 2015) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and is currently enjoying untroubled leadership at home in Zimbabwe after he 'won' a contentious election.
He trounced erstwhile contender Morgan Tsivangirai, a former Prime Minister in a shadowy coalition that was brokered by the Southern Africa Development Cooperation (SADC), a loose socio-economic organization he currently chairs. It brings together about thirteen southern Africa states.
Mugabe, and Tsivangirai locked horns when the latter, bitterly criticized the president of misgoverning the country which was at one time a food basket for southern Africa.
Tsinvagirai was later to face stints in jail, prompting the SADC to intervene in Zimbabwe's internal politics, an undertaking that led to the former trade unionist becoming a Prime Minister in a coalition government led by Mugabe.
It is important to note that the AU is by and large critical of the West, often complaining about the apparent interference of the developed world in regard to accountability and governance, mostly the promotion of democracy that among others lays emphasis on the periodical change of leadership.
An informed inquiry indicates that most outstanding members of SADC: South Africa, Botswana, Zambia and Namibia hold elections after every five years, and change the topmost leadership after every 10 years.
In that respect, among fellow SADC members, Botswana in the last two decades has had three peaceful leadership transitions from Quett Masire, Festus Mogae to Ian Khama; South Africa has had Nelson Mandela (RIP), Thabo Mbeki/Kgalema Motlanta and Jacob Zuma, Zambia has had Titus Jacob Chiluba, Levy Mwanawasa and Michael Sata/Guy Scott while neighbouring Namibia has transitioned from Sam Nujoma, Hifikepunye Pohamba and Hage Geingob.
But such progressive trends notwithstanding, as things stand today, the concept of change of topmost leadership seems alien in Africa as most 'democratically' elected leaders have sought to alter the Constitutions of their countries to extend their stay in power.
In 2005, after intense lobbying by the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM), the Parliament of Uganda changed the Constitution in a move dubbed the 'removal of term limits' and this paved the way for the current leader Yoweri Museveni to extend his hold onto power.
He has since led the East African country for 10 years. Prior to the Constitutional amendment he had been in office for 19 years. Museveni's grip onto power won't be loosening soon as indications point to him contesting and 'winning' next year's presidential poll.
Museveni captured power in 1986 after a grueling five-year war that led to the death of over 300.000 people and left the country's central region a ravaged piece of land in what is now known as the Luwero Triangle.
For Uganda's Southeastern neighbour Rwanda, President Paul Kagame is yet to unequivocally rule out running in 2017 when his second 7-year tenure in office lapses.
If Kagame chooses to run for another 7-year term, the Rwandan legislature will have to amend the current Constitution that stands in the president's way. Kagame has been in office since 2000 (constitutionally since 2003).
In Burundi, the tiny central African nation that has been at war for almost all of its 'independent' life, President Pierre Nkurunziza, a former teacher-turned rebel is making attempts to change the Constitution to allow him remain in power beyond his constitutional two five-year terms.
Nkurunziza's counterpart in neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo Joseph Kabila's attempts to alter the Constitution turned bloody after the country broke down in tumultuous riots to reject his move. The current constitution bars the president from seeking a third five-year term. Presidential poll is set for November next year.
It is a universally accepted concept that change of leadership allows for the infusion of new ideas into governance. Against such a background, one can forgive Mugabe for not altering his country's Constitution, but he cannot be forgiven for serving as an example of self-seeking politics, which in turn has led to slow socio-political development because the extended leadership normally has no new ideas to put across.
And this is where Mugabe, an avid and acerbic critic of the West whose country has suffered the effects of ten-year EU sanctions becomes a darling of his colleagues across the continent because he represents interests that tend towards impunity, something most presidents in Africa want to copy, pursue and practice.
Indeed Mugabe, whose election to the AU chair has been summarized as 'an endorsement by the leaders of Africa', does not mince his words when making reference to the criticism made by the West.
"What the West will say or do is not my business," the man who came to power in 1980 after a fierce battle against colonialists was quoted telling journalists shortly after being crowned the AU chairman.

San Bernardino attacker was 'typical housewife,' lawyer says
David Chesley and Mohammad Abuershaid, lawyers for the Farook family, discuss the Facebook post by Tashfeen Malik, one of two San Bernardino shooters.
By Joseph Serna,
Veronica Rocha
Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik kept a quiet, conservative home in Redlands with their daughter -- where the wife stayed at home caring for their baby while Farook went to work for the San Bernardino County health department.
As far as Farook's family was concerned, there was nothing out of the ordinary with the couple – which is what they told the FBI during a four-hour interview Thursday, a day after the pair died in a gun battle with police in San Bernardino.
The pair had only hours earlier killed 14 people and wounded 21 others at a holiday party at a county facility. At a news conference Friday afternoon, attorneys for Farook's family expressed sorrow for the victims and provided details on the family's home life leading up to the killings.

They also said neither they nor authorities have been able to find a motive for the shooting or links to organized terrorist groups.
"None of the family members had any idea that this was going to take place," said attorney David Chesley. "They were totally shocked."
A second attorney, Mohammad Abuershaid, described Farook and Malik's home life as a "traditional" Muslim household.
"The women would sit with the women, men with the men. Men did not interact with her," Abuershaid said. "Brothers have never seen her face. She was totally covered. They just knew her as 'Syed's wife.' "
Malik was a "typical housewife" taking care of the couple's 6-month old daughter while Farook worked, Chesley said. She spoke broken English and fluent Urdu, he said.
"She did maintain certain traditions. Fasting and prayer. She chose not to drive voluntarily. But these are all benign;, these are things that many Muslims do and it doesn't mean anything necessarily," Chesley said.
Relatives knew they kept two guns locked up in the home.
At times when Malik would be caring for the baby, the attorneys said that Farook would be in the home's garage tinkering with things.
He liked working on his car, the attorney said. Relatives went into the garage occasionally to see what he was working on. Farook once made a shoe rack for his sister.

But Farook did have to make some adjustments to work, the attorneys said. Because of his job, Farook had to trim his beard. Sometimes co-workers teased him about his facial hair, but he "shrugged it off."
"He was a very isolated, introverted individual with really no friends that we could I identify," Chesley said.
The couple reportedly dropped their baby off at a relative's home prior to the shooting. The infant is now with child protective services and may be turned over to Farook's oldest sister by Monday, the attorneys said.
In a separate news conference Friday, the FBI said it has not found any definitive ties to terrorist organizations or any indication the two were part of a terrorist cell. Authorities said they were aware of a Facebook post that may be linked to Malik that reportedly pledges allegiance to the Islamic State.
"That's hardly anything at all," Chesley said.
"If there is anything remarkable about the investigation that took place [Thursday], it is that no ties could really be established to the point of frustration on the part of the FBI," Chesley said.

Q: Passing multiple objects to constructor function I have a constructor function that serves to push new data to an array (in this case, allEntries)
function entry (title, info) {
    this.title = title;
    this.info = [ { name : info } ];
}
var allEntries = []

I'm trying to figure out how to pass multiple objects for this.info, something like:
allEntries.push( new entry( 'title one', ['info 1', 'info 2'] ) );

in order to obtain something like:
{
    title: 'title one',
    info : [
            { name: 'info 1'},
            { name: 'info 2'}
        ]
}

How would I go about doing this?

A: Pass an array and iterate over it to add all items using Array.prototype.forEach.
function entry (title, info) {
    this.title = title;
    this.info = [];
    info.forEach(function (infoItem) {
        this.info.push({ name : infoItem});
    }, this);
}

Call it like this:
var myEntry = new entry('foobar', ['info1', 'info2']);

BTW: Usually, classes are named with an uppercase letter in front to be able to distinguish them from functions (which are always lowercase), so you migth want to name it "Entry".

A: This can be solved by approaching it differently...
http://jsfiddle.net/MattLo/Nz6BD/
function entry () {
    this.title = null;
    this.info = [];
}

entry.prototype.setInfo = function (info) {
    this.info.push({name: info});

    return this;
};

entry.prototype.setTitle = function (title) {
    this.title = title;

    return this;
}

var e1 = (new entry)
    .setInfo('foo')
    .setInfo('bar')
    .setTitle('Hello World!');

Trump approves plan to withdraw 9,500 troops from Germany
WASHINGTON: The Unite States President, Donald Trump has approved a plan to withdraw nine thousand and five hundred American troops from bases in Germany.
A spokesman of Pentagon said the move would reduce the number of US troops stationed in Germany from about 34,500 to 25,000.
President Trump has previously accused Germany of not contributing enough to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
Also Read: Iran issues arrest warrant for Trump over killing of top Iranian general
Six senators from both the leading national political parties, including Senator Lindsey Graham have spoken against this move. They said they would stop Trump from withdrawing troops from Germany.
"At a time when the US and our European allies must continue to stand hand in hand in deterring malign influences, it is in our national security interest, as well as in the interest of our allies and partners, to continue our presence in Germany," Senator Rubio said.
"The withdrawal of US troops from Germany would be a gift to Russia, and that's the last thing we should do. Not to mention it threatens US national security and undermines our NATO alliance," former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney he said.

The Oblivion is the name of one of the legendary female skin outfits for the game Fortnite Battle Royale. Outfits change the appearance of the player, but do not have any added function or benefit except for aesthetical. Although the Oblivion skin is the female counterpart of the Criterion legendary outfit, the two outfits feature a very different design concept.
The Oblivion outfit features a super-villain inspired metallic armor covered in jet-black paint. The outfit also features a sinister-looking helmet with a V-shaped visor that glows orange. The entire outfit looks futuristic with its jet-black armor details and shoulder spikes.
This legendary female outfit skin is a part of the Oblivion Set. Purchasing this outfit comes with a bonus legendary back bling called Destabilizer.
Oblivion high-quality PNG images with transparent background to use them as you wish (YouTube thumbnails, skin concept and so on).

HENRY COUNTY, Va. – A 7-year-old child died after being found floating in a pond near Martinsville on Friday, according to a sheriff's office press release.
Authorities were called to the 100 block of Davis Road shortly after 5 p.m. after a 911 call about a possible drowning.
A Henry County deputy swam out and brought the child back to shore. The child was taken to Sovah Health in Martinsville and pronounced dead.
Authorities have not released the name of the child or the circumstances surrounding the incident.
An autopsy for the child is planned for Saturday.


If the difficulty of the quest is any indication, you'll need a nice selection of robust weapons. Take the vehicle to the hotel, mowing down any undead you come across. While it'd be ideal to just run down all the opposition until you complete your mission, you're going to have to park the car and make the rest of the trip on foot.
Follow the waypoint, which takes you alongside the hotel building where you encounter all sorts of zombies, including several Thugs. Pick up the door keycard on the ground and use it to infiltrate the hotel interior via the parking lot facility. Access it by interacting with the red-colored card reader and travel to the parking lot.
Unlike your experiences in the sprawling outdoors, the hotel interior feels a lot more claustrophobic and won't be as generous in providing maneuvering room. If you ever feel overwhelmed, it'd be wise to use the bottle-neck tactic, with which you use a doorframe as a chokepoint and let Walkers file in one-by-one for immediate clobbering.
You will also find Banoi Herald Excerpt #16 in a room before entering the cafeteria.
If need be, there are plenty of snacks and health-replenishing items in the cafeteria.
Eventually you'll come across Mike Davies, who wants you to find someone named Ken. Jump down into the elevator shaft and enter via the escape hatch above it. Proceed to follow the market all the way through the kitchen, the pool, the shower rooms, and to the second floor you'll finally come upon a Ken, who needs medical attention in the form of morphine.
Scavenge some morphine from the infirmary, but before that you'll have to fight through a Thug and Walkers. Nab the morphine from the cot and return to Ken with the morphine.
Onwards to the security room. Continue to follow the route laid out on the mini-map, which leads you back to Davies. He instructs you on how to get the cameras back online in the server room. That, of course, entails fighting your way to the server room first.
The red flags on the mini-map mark the computers that need rebooting. Meanwhile, don't forget to loot the Molotov in the room with a computer that needs rebooting and Thug, as well as the various Collectibles strewn about.
Once all the computers have been rebooted, return to Davies in the security room. Now you can reach the parking lot, where you'll need to locate a truck and use it to return to Sinamoi.

Here comes the iPhone 5S: Foxconn resumes hiring ahead of next iPhone launch
By Zach Epstein @zacharye
Apple's manufacturing partner Foxconn has reportedly resumed hiring after a brief freeze as the company prepares to ramp up production of Apple's next-generation iPhone. Foxconn reportedly froze hiring this past February as Apple trimmed iPhone production in preparation for its upcoming new flagship smartphone. Now, as the new handset's launch presumably nears, Bloomberg reports that Foxconn has resumed hiring. The "iPhone 5S" is expected to be unveiled this summer and should closely resemble the current iPhone 5, though rumors suggest it will feature an upgraded processor, an improved rear camera, several new color options and possibly an integrated fingerprint scanner as well.

Study Shows Black Women Believe Hold The Power To Make The Biggest Difference On Election Day 2020
Charise Frazier
Seventy-five percent of Black women say they are more motivated to vote now than they have ever been according to a newly released study by Higher Heights For America, a national organization committed to building the political power of Black women.
The Higher Heights Leadership Fund commissioned Change Research polled 506 likely Black women voters between September 4 – October 4, 2020.
While the number proves that Black women continue to hold the duty of civic engagement and the Democratic process in the highest regard, 25 percent of voters polled say that while they plan on submitting a ballot on November, they are growing hopeless that it won't bring the change they wish to see.
Pollsters also dived into the response differences between women over the age of 50 and women under 50. Approximately 65 percent of voters under 50 say they are more motivated than ever, while 35 percent say they are growing hopeless. When it came to voters under 50, approximately 86 percent say they are more motivated than ever, and only 14 percent say they are growing hopeless that voting won't bring the change they are hoping for.
But the most striking part of the poll was the response to the question asking which demographic group could make the biggest difference to the outcome of the upcoming election. 64 percent chose Black women, signaling that Black women who intend to vote are well aware of their political importance and power.
The three top emerging issues from polled voters include the results of the 2020 election, a sound resolution to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, and an undoubted need for racial justice in America.
When asked the open-ended question, "What is the one main issue that keeps you up at night," voters overwhelmingly referenced racism, as well as citing fear of physical harm and police brutality.
Some of the answers stated: "Not sure if a police officer will break in my house and shoot me like Breonna Taylor or be killed like George Floyd and many more," "Feeling safe in my black skin in this country," and "Worrying about my Black son in this racist society."
To see the full results of the poll visit Higher Heights For America to read the full results.

[caption id="attachment_3998318" align="alignnone" width="1024"] Source: Pool / Getty[/caption] Whether intentional or not, the Democratic National Convention (DNC) has been steadily revealing over its first two nights that there are far more Black people included with speaking roles and otherwise getting valuable TV time to spread the Party's message than organizers originally suggested. And it's for good measure, too, since Black voter participation fell in the 2016 election compared to the historic levels in which they cast ballots for Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012. It's a simple math equation: If more Black people vote Democratic, chances of Joe Biden beating Donald Trump increase exponentially. With the inclusion of a growing number of Black folks, the DNC is surely counting on that to be true. The DNC's first incarnation of its official convention schedule only listed 11 Black people, including musical performers, to be featured in the week's programming. Alongside that scant docket of Black folks were names like Michael Bloomberg — who is infamous for his support of the racist stop-and-frisk policing practice — adding insult to the metaphorical injury sustained at first glance of what seemed to be a diversity-challenged convention schedule. But since the convention kicked off Monday night, viewers have been treated to a veritable parade of African Americans taking the virtual stage, both renowned in addition to everyday citizens, making their cases for why Biden deserves to be the next president of the United States. Some of those names have included distinguished leaders like Colin Powell and Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser as well as Gwen Carr (Eric Garner's mother) and the family of George Floyd. Originally, the DNC's schedule was conspicuously missing names such as Stacey Abrams, someone who has consistently been both described as a rising star in the Democratic Party and was long rumored to have been courted by Biden to be his vice-presidential running mate. Her apparent inexplicable exclusion came across like a snub of sorts. When NewsOne reached out last week for comment from Abrams' anti-voter suppression organization, Fair Fight, it referred all questions about her DNC role to Biden's campaign. But Biden's campaign never responded to NewsOne — until Tuesday night, when Abrams helped open up the convention's second night with an impassioned keynote address standing by Biden and urging Americans to vote for him. She used her speech in part to bring attention to the disproportionate effect that the collision of multiple factors has especially had on Black lives in 2020. "America faces a triple threat: a public health catastrophe, an economic collapse, and a reckoning with racial justice and inequality," Abrams said. "So our choice is clear: a steady, experienced public servant who can lead us out of this crisis just like he's done before, or a man who only knows how to deny and distract; a leader who cares about our families or a president who only cares about himself." Her words, as well as her inclusion at the DNC, probably elicited a collective sigh among those who quickly spoke out last week after it appeared that Abrams would not be speaking at the convention. Abrams was not alone in having the distinction of being a Black person featured at the DNC who was not included in the initial schedule of speakers at this year's Democratic National Convention. The revelation of more Black people than expected in the first two nights of the DNC suggests that organizers are far from finished on that front. Of course, this year's Democratic National Convention has been anything but conventional. And that could explain why DNC organizers released such an anemic list of speakers when it came to Black people featured, perhaps trying to pique viewers' curiosity and increase viewership. To be sure, there are still more people that NewsOne expects to be included, such as budding activist LeBron James, established agitator Colin Kaepernick and the founders of the Movement for Black Lives (to name a few). With that said, it's clear the DNC has made an intentional effort at presenting an image of racial inclusion at a time in the nation's history when circumstances suggest otherwise. Keep reading to find some of the Blackest moments at this year's Democratic National Convention. This article will be updated as the Democratic National Convention progresses.

Q: How to get 2's complement of a binary number in Java programmatically How to calculate the 2's Complement of a Hex number in Android/Java.
    For Example :
    String x = 10011010;
    1's complement of x = 01100101;
    2's complement is 01100110;

How I can pro-grammatically achieve in Java?
I had tried the following code to convert the binary to its 1's compliment:
public String complementFunction(String bin) {
        String  ones = "";

        for (int i = 0; i < bin.length(); i++) {
            ones += flip(bin.charAt(i));
        }
        return ones;
    }

// Returns '0' for '1' and '1' for '0'
    public char flip(char c) {
        return (c == '0') ? '1' : '0';
    }

But I'm not able to get its two's complement.

A: Thanks for your help everyone.
I got the solution and it is as follows :
  public String twosCompliment(String bin) {
        String twos = "", ones = "";

        for (int i = 0; i < bin.length(); i++) {
            ones += flip(bin.charAt(i));
        }
        int number0 = Integer.parseInt(ones, 2);
        StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(ones);
        boolean b = false;
        for (int i = ones.length() - 1; i > 0; i--) {
            if (ones.charAt(i) == '1') {
                builder.setCharAt(i, '0');
            } else {
                builder.setCharAt(i, '1');
                b = true;
                break;
            }
        }
        if (!b)
            builder.append("1", 0, 7);

        twos = builder.toString();

        return twos;
    }

// Returns '0' for '1' and '1' for '0'
    public char flip(char c) {
        return (c == '0') ? '1' : '0';
    }

Thanks to all for helping.

A: This wikipedia section explains an easy way to get the 2's complement: Get the 1's complement, then add 1 (in binary logic). So you can use the complementFunction you already have, then go through the String backwards. If you find a 1, flip it and continue. If you find a 0, flip it and stop.
String  twos = "";
for (int i = bin.length() - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
    if (bin.charAt(i) == '1') {
        twos = "0" + twos;
    } else {
        twos = bin.substring(0, i) + "1" + two;
        break;
    }
    twos = flip(bin.charAt(i));
}
return twos;

A: @BackSlash's comment above is intriguing.  This answer is the full program written based on this idea:
import java.time.temporal.ValueRange;
import java.util.Scanner;

//This program generates convert decimal to binary
public class ConvertDecimalToBinary {

    public static int getNumberOfBytes(int n) {
        int bytes = 0;
        ValueRange byteRange = ValueRange.of(Byte.MIN_VALUE, Byte.MAX_VALUE);
        ValueRange shortRange = ValueRange.of(Short.MIN_VALUE, Short.MAX_VALUE);
        ValueRange intRange = ValueRange.of(Integer.MIN_VALUE, Integer.MAX_VALUE);
        if (byteRange.isValidValue(n)) {
            bytes = 1;
        } else if (shortRange.isValidValue(n)) {
            bytes = 2;
        } else if (intRange.isValidValue(n)) {
            bytes = 4;
        }
        return bytes;
    }

    //Convert a positive decimal number to binary
    public static String convertPositiveNumberToBinary(int n, int bytes,boolean reverse) {
        int bits = 8 * bytes;
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(bits); //in-bits
        if (n == 0) {
            sb.append("0");
        } else {
            while (n > 0) {
                sb.append(n % 2);
                n >>= 1;  //aka n/2
            }
        }

        if (sb.length() < bits) {
            for (int i = sb.length(); i < bits; i++) {
                sb.append("0");

            }
        }
        if (reverse) {
            return sb.toString();
        } else {
            return sb.reverse().toString();
        }
    }

    //Convert negative decimal number to binary
    public static String convertNegativeNumberToBinary(int n, int bytes) {
        int m = -n; //conver to positve
        String binary = convertPositiveNumberToBinary(m,bytes,true);
        int len = binary.length();
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(len); //in-bits
        boolean foundFirstOne = false;
        for(int i=0; i < len;i++) {
            if(foundFirstOne)  {
                if(binary.charAt(i) == '1') {
                    sb.append('0');
                }
                else {
                    sb.append('1');
                }
            }
            else {
                if(binary.charAt(i) == '1') {
                    foundFirstOne = true;
                }

            }
        }

Description Reviews About the Author More Details
Introductory Statistics, Fourth Edition, reviews statistical concepts and techniques in a manner that will teach students not only how and when to utilize the statistical procedures developed, but also how to understand why these procedures should be used. The text's main merits are the clarity of presentation, contemporary examples and applications from diverse areas, an explanation of intuition, and the ideas behind the statistical methods. Concepts are motivated, illustrated, and explained in a way that attempts to increase one's intuition. To quote from the preface, it is only when a student develops a feel or intuition for statistics that she or he is really on the path toward making sense of data. Ross achieves this goal through a coherent mix of mathematical analysis, intuitive discussions, and examples. Applications and examples refer to real-world issues, such as gun control, stock price models, health issues, driving age limits, school admission ages, use of helmets, sports, scientific fraud, and many others. Examples relating to data mining techniques using the number of Google queries or Twitter tweets are also considered. For this fourth edition, new topical coverage includes sections on Pareto distribution and the 80-20 rule, Benford's law, added material on odds and joint distributions and correlation, logistic regression, A-B testing, and more modern (big data) examples and exercises.

Will Rogers Saddle Company is family owned and operated.
We have been in business since 1979. Our store is located in Mead, just 15 minutes north of Spokane, Washington.
We are open 9-5 Monday through Saturday. Closed major holidays.
Will lived a long life. He was my favorite riding partner up until he had a stroke on his 94th birthday.
He loved God, family, horses, and hunting.
Also, LOVED to tell stories. And he had plenty. His young life was exciting with tales of helping his father bootleg whiskey, days spent in a one room schoolhouse, and a ride across the country in a Conestoga style wagon. His time in the U.S Army, at the Battle of the Bulge, showed what kind of man he was. He brought home many medals, including a Purple Heart, and turned down further awards for bravery because he said he was just doing his job.
With his wife Louise, he raised his children, foster children, lost children, and anyone that showed up on his doorstep. And many did.
Will always had a great love for horses, especially Tennessee Walkers. And he rode, packed in, and enjoyed some really great ones. He is pictured on Dora, a very sweet mare that would do anything to please him. She passed unexpectedly last May.
We are so honored to have been given the store and be able to continue what he loved. We all have learned so much from Dad, Grampa, and Will. And of course, even though we have no doubt in our minds where he is now, we all still miss him greatly!
This is Anita, Will's daughter, riding Tula at Riverside State Park.
Tula is a quarter horse. Tula is AWESOME!!! Anita loves to trail ride, do a little reining, and hang out with her horses... when she's not at work.
Annie is Anita's daughter. She's enjoying a trail ride on Norma.
Sierra is Anita's granddaughter. She is the Springdale Open Rodeo Queen.
She's riding Taga (Gramma's horse).


Quarter scale, peel and stick wallpaper means no more glue spots, smudges, tears and messy fingers!

The Heartbeat Run last weekend was a hoot. Gallery here; on this page you can see part of my green Cooper in the sixth photo down (and I think that's me following Andy/'Bad Manners' in the last photo… or rather, hanging on for dear life, since his steed has a 210bhp+ Hartge conversion. Yowser).
Right now, I'm clearing up the flat, thinking about playing with this froody new piece of software, and trying to catch up with my tax affairs enough to work out if I need to buy a new PowerBook in a panic on Monday. No, really – it's the last day for the 100% first-year tax allowance on such things.
To complete the life-returning-to-normal picture – I finally made it to the optician, and have some new specs on order (think 'retro-chic'); my Mini is finally booked in to have the year-old bonnet scuff repaired; editing continues apace, though we've pushed online and dub back a couple of weeks because… well, because we could, basically. Oh, and I've applied for a terribly pukka BBC training scheme thing, and I've been poking around the web looking at flats for sale in Glasgow.
…all of which, while certainly necessary 'catching up with life' stuff, is deathly dull from a weblog perspective. Which is why I've not blogged anything much for a little while. So now you know. Aren't you glad you asked?
