This case arose out of an automobile accident between Jackie Joines (Joines) plaintiff, and Brittany Moffitt (Moffitt) defendant. Joines was on his motorcycle when Moffitt's vehicle struck him and knocked him off his motorcycle.
At the trial court, the Superior Court of Alexander County entered judgment upon a jury verdict which denied recovery to the plaintiff due to contributory negligence. It is from that order that Joines appealed.
At trial, the facts tended to show that while the plaintiff was moving into the left turning lane at an intersection, the defendant merged onto the highway, where her vehicle struck Joines. The investigating officer, Mike Allen of the Mooresville Police Department (Officer Allen), prepared the accident report after interviewing the defendant and two other witnesses. Joines was not interviewed because he was receiving medical attention. As a result of the collision, Joines suffered injuries to his lower leg, which ultimately required amputation below the knee of his right leg. The facts also tended to indicate that Plaintiff was operating his motorcycle left of center, and passing stopped vehicles in the turning lane shortly before colliding with the defendant's vehicle.
The plaintiff argued on appeal that the trial court erred in admitting the accident report, specifically the narrative of Officer Allen, and also the hand-drawn diagram of the officer, as it constituted inadmissible hearsay. The plaintiff also argued on appeal that he was not given ample opportunity to conduct voir dire of Officer Allen before the trial court terminated such examination.
The Federal Rules of Evidence, as incorporated into North Carolina law in N.C. Gen. Stat. Chapter 8, contain a provision for the inadmissibility of hearsay into evidence. "Hearsay is not admissible except as provided by statute or by these rules." N.C. Gen. Stat. § 8C-1, Rule 802. However, the Rules provide a number of exceptions to the rule against hearsay. The applicable exception in this case is contained in Rule 803(6) and provides that records of regularly conducted business activities are admissible as an exception to the hearsay rule, as long as they are properly authenticated.
The authentication process requires showing that the report was (1) "prepared at or near the time of the act(s) reported; (2) prepared by or from information transmitted by a person with knowledge of the act(s); and (3) kept in the course of a regularly conducted business activity, with such being a regular practice of that business activity." Wentz v. Unifi, Inc., 89 N.C. App. 33 (1988). However, if a document can meet these criteria, it may nevertheless be inadmissible if the circumstances surround the preparation of the report indicate a lack of trustworthiness.
Voir dire is a legal term which translates closely to "to speak the truth." It is a process during a jury trial which allows an opposing party to question a witness or try to determine the truth of their statements. In this case, the first trial resulted in a mistrial, and because the same presiding judge sat for the second trial, he ended plaintiff's voir dire examination of Officer Allen as duplicitous. However, plaintiff was provided the full opportunity to cross-examine Officer Allen in the jury's presence, and, as such, limiting the voir dire under those circumstances was not an abuse of discretion.
The Court of Appeals ultimately upheld the trial court's decision. The Court found that Officer Allen prepared both the narrative and diagram contained in the report, using information from three separate parties at the scene of the accident. It also found that the plaintiff was not interviewed because he was receiving medical attention, and that fact does not on its own render the report untrustworthy. The Court also found that there was sufficient information to lead the jury to conclude that the plaintiff was contributorily negligent in operating his motorcycle.
The Court also denied Joines' claim that the voir dire limitation was detrimental to his case. There was opportunity for cross-examination during the trial, and any issues regarding the narrative or diagram that Officer Allen included in the accident report could have been discussed at that time.

Drunk man rampages in stolen construction truck: cops
By Amanda Woods
September 8, 2018 | 2:47pm
Yefry Ramirez Diego
A drunken Queens man stole a construction truck from a Long Island work site — ramming into an employee, another pedestrian, a fence and a parked car as he attempted to get away with the ride, cops said.
Yefry Ramirez Diego, 34, of Far Rockaway, allegedly hopped inside the 1997 International Truck that was parked and left with the engine running at a construction site on Route 878, just north of Burnside Avenue, around 1:30 a.m., cops said.
He started driving the truck off the site, but two construction workers followed him in another vehicle, police said.
Once Diego reached Sheridan Boulevard and Nassau Avenue, he stopped, which allowed the employees to catch up to him. Both tried to pull Diego out of the truck, but failed, police said.
So Diego started to drive again, this time toward the two employees who were standing in front of his truck, cops said.
One of the men jumped out of the way, but the other, 60, was struck on the arm.
Diego drove west on Sheridan Avenue until he lost control of the truck and smashed into a fence on Sheridan Boulevard, cops said.
He also struck a 42-year-old man walking on the sidewalk at Carvel Place, before colliding with a parked 2015 Nissan Altima, police said.
Diego then bolted from the car, but he didn't get far before Nassau County cops — with the help of some NYPD officers — arrested him.
He was charged with robbery, grand larceny, unauthorized use of a vehicle, criminal mischief, reckless endangerment, leaving the scene of an accident with personal injury, driving while intoxicated, assault, reckless driving and driving without a license.
The employee refused medical attention. The pedestrian was taken to a local hospital, where he was treated for hip and stomach pain.

Shaq Fu Radio NewsThe Shaq Guide to Giving and Receiving
When it comes to Christmas-time, Shaq is really good in the "giving" department, not so much in the "receiving." A couple of quick stories just out this week will demonstrate the big man's holiday preferences.
Shaquille O'Neal follows Santa's Christmas etiquette. That's according to celebrity news and gossip website PageSix.com, which recently had a short blurb about Shaq's do's and don't this Christmas season
"I do not accept gifts," Shaq recently told Page Six. His reasoning? He says Santa never gets, only gives. "You show me a movie where Santa receives gifts and I'll take one." We should have known that Shaq considers himself in the same league with the Man in the Red Suit, but hey, it works for us. (A teammate, perhaps?)
Shaq has been giving away toys and food to thousands of kids and families in need, and this year is no different. True Santa spirit! "I've been doing my annual Shaq-A-Claus [event], handing out toys to kids," he said, adding that it's the only holiday tradition he really sticks to. In fact, this will be the 28th year in a row that the former NBA star will host his Shaq-A-Claus event. Talk about G.O.A.T.!
Shaq says his holiday magic-making is based on his own childhood experiences. In a story with the TMZ celebrity TV show back in 2018, Shaq said, "I know what it's like to wake up and not get one single toy on Christmas and I don't want any child to have to go through that."

Now…speaking of giving, Shaq is definitely spreading some Christmas cheer in Jacksonville, Florida. A story on WJXT-TV in Jacksonville shows Shaq reaching out to local school officials to tell them he's got goodies on the way.
In a partnership plan with Duval County Public Schools, the Henry and Zach Crocklett Foundation and Rhodes Graduation Services, Shaq is helping feed families and bring gifts to Jacksonville-area kids this holiday season. Selected Duval County families will receive a meal and gift packages on Dec. 19 through the Turkey & Toys Districtwide Partnership.
Shaq also gave Duval County a shoutout and said DCPS superintendent Dr. Diana L. Greene was "doing big things." Check out his short-but-cool video here:

Mexico is not the first country people usually think of when talking of clean energy, but it has ambitious plans to generate 35% of its energy from clean sources by 2026. That would be up from less than 15% now, which is mostly hydro, with wind and solar only providing only ±1.5%. These renewable sources would need to grow a lot, and in such a sunny country, solar power makes a lot of sense.
First Solar Inc. (FSLR) of the U.S. has bought its first projects in Mexico, while more than a dozen other developers including Germany's Saferay GmbH and Spain's Grupotec Tecnologia Solar SL own licenses there. Local investor Gauss Energia opened Latin America's largest photovoltaic plant in the country last month.
While Mexico doesn't subsidize solar, it has net-metering, and high energy costs in many regions where solar is competitive (in good part because the country gets so much sun). With some incentives for solar, which would only be fair considering how government-favored the oil industry has been over the years, we could potentially see a big solar boom in Mexico.

Ariana Grande Predicted Pete Davidson Marriage in 2016, Shares New Album Tracks With 'Fallon'
Television By TooFab Staff | August 17, 2018 1:10 AM
Here's What the MTV VMA's Looked Like 15 Years Ago
Ariana Grande shares the stories behind a couple of tracks from her just-released album "Sweetener" before performing "R.E.M." live on "The Tonight Show."
Ariana Grande treated Jimmy Fallon and his audience to a mini-listening party for her just-released album "Sweetener," and talked about her whirlwind romance with Pete Davidson.
It turns out, Grande knew she and Davidson had a future together before they were even friends. After talking about and playing a few lines from the track "Pete Davidson" on the album, the pop star opened up about how she and Davidson first met when she hosted "Saturday Night Live" back in 2016.

Davidson recently revealed to GQ that he proposed to her on the first day they met. Apparently that insta-attraction was mutual.
"I left his writers' room where we were writing skits and stuff for the show," Grande told Fallon. "And I jokingly said to my tour manager, 'I'm marrying him, 100 percent.' I was like, 'I'm literally gonna marry him.'"
Even better? "We weren't even friends, didn't even see him at the after-party," Grande admitted. In fact, she said they weren't friends "for a long time" after that.
"I had the biggest crush in the world on him the whole time, like forever," she added. "Like my friends used to make fun of me and all that stuff."

Of the track on the album named after her fiance, Grande said, "it was either gonna be that or 'This Is About Pete Davidson.' I was like, 'Why not? Be direct.'" Fallon played his audience a sample of that song, as well as a few bars from "Breathin'."
"It's about breathing," Grande joked, before explaining that it was really about anxiety and what it feels like to experience a panic attack.
"We were in the studio, we were writing and I was like, 'I can't breathe,'" Grande said. "They were like, 'We're gonna write this song.' I was like, 'Okay, still can't breathe, but we'll write it.' We made this song. I can kind of breathe now, so we're good. Progress."
Grande even grabbed a mic to offer up a live rendition of "R.E.M." from the album, coming after her rousing tribute to Aretha Franklin that kicked off the show. You can join in on the "Sweetener" listening party above, and check out her tribute to the Queen of Soul below.

Austin Texas DWI Attorney » DWI and Concealed Handgun Licenses - DWI Victories, DUI Police Mistakes & More!
The Texas Government Code Section GC 411.172, spells out who is and who is not eligible for a Concealed Handgun License. There are restrictions and rules for those who have been convicted of a DWI. Below you will find the eligibility requirements and limitations.
In order to be eligible for a concealed handgun license, you must be resident of Texas for at least 6 months, be at least 21 years of age and not a convicted felon. At the time of the application, you cannot be charged with the commission of a Class A or Class B Misdemeanor, such as a DWI, or offense under Section 42.01, Penal Code or a felony under information or indictment. Furthermore, a person can not be considered chemically dependant and can not in the past 5 years preceding the date of the application have been CONVICTED of a Class A or Class B Misdemeanor. Further, if a person has been convicted 2 (two) times within the 10 year period preceding the date on which a person applies for this concealed handgun license of a Class B Misdemeanor or greater that involves the use of alcohol or controlled substance as a element of the offense, such as DWI, the person is not eligible for a concealed gun license under this subchapter at all.
Also, if a person is deemed chemically dependant, whether evidenced by a conviction or other evidence, they may also be disqualified from obtaining a concealed handgun license.
What can seem like "just a DWI," can have long lasting ramifications.

Windows 8 not such a flop after all, selling at similar rate to Windows 7
Microsoft, PC, Tablets
100 million licenses, Announcement, Blue, Figures, Microsoft, Microsoft Windows, operating system, OS, sales, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8 sales, Windows Blue
Listen to certain sections of the media and you would be led to believe that Windows 8 has been a massive failure for Microsoft, on the levels of Vista. However, the figures Microsoft have just released tell quite a different story.
It took 183 days for Windows 7 to reach the 100 million licenses mark. Windows 8 has just hit the same milestone. How long did it take? 192 days. That's just 9 days long than its predecessor, so it is selling at a very similar rate. This shows that consumers are willing to take plunge with Microsoft's latest operating system, despite there being bigger changes to it than there have been since the last century, and despite certain outlets around the web suggesting that there are many issues still with it and that consumers are responding badly to new style.
Yes, Windows 8 needs some work to bring it up to the standards we expect from Microsoft, but it is a step in the right direction, and hopefully with the now confirmed Blue update we will see a much smoother and more coherent feel to the OS with both the familiar desktop and the brand new start screen.
Microsoft has also released some more figures relating to Windows 8:
There are now 700 million Microsoft accounts
There are 400 million active Outlook.com accounts
There are 250 million active SkyDrive users
There have been 250 million Windows Store downloads

Microsoft finally announces release date and pricing for Surface Pro
Blog News, Tablets, Technology
8, Metro, Microsoft, microsoft surface, Pro, RT, Surface, surface pro, surface rt, tablet, tech, technology, Windows, Windows 8
The Surface Pro, the big brother to Microsoft's Surface RT which was released in October last year, won't go on sale in January as originally planned, but you will be able to have one in your hands by February 9th. On the bright side, Microsoft do seem to have admitted defeat with their Surface RT retail strategy, which was so bad that it was nominated for our biggest failure award – the Seattle-based company says that the Surface Pro will have wide retail availability beyond just Microsoft.com and Microsoft Stores.
We knew that Microsoft were targeting the high-end market with the Surface Pro, but even so the prices they've announced do seem extortionate. The minimum you'll find yourself paying for one is $899, for the 64GB version with no covers included. The 128GB model will add $100 on to that price. The Surface RT 32GB tablet, the cheapest member of the Surface family you'll find, would set you back $499, so there is obviously a significant difference between the RT and the Pro. Like with the its little brother, if you want to buy a keyboard cover for your Surface Pro it will cost $119 for the Touch Cover or $129 for the Type one. Microsoft will throw in a free pressure-sensitive pen in the box too.
On the same date as the Surface Pro is released, Microsoft have announced that a standalone 64GB will be made available for $599 – previously you could only buy it as a package with the black Touch Cover for $699.
It's nice to finally get some genuine information on the Surface Pro, but we really feel that the large price tag will put a lot of potential consumers off buying one. Mind you, Microsoft do seem to be aiming here to make something which will completely replace your laptop or desktop PC, whereas previous tablets have only really been able to be used in conjunction with another device, to do all the 'serious' stuff on. The Surface Pro will certainly be an interesting one to watch, but personally we can't see it taking off.

Mac vs. PC: The Final Battle
Mac, PC, The Final Battle

Since PCs and Macs hit the market, the debate has raged on over which is best. Depending upon who you're talking to, the Mac vs. PC debate is often even hotter than politics or religion. While you have many who are die hard Microsoft PC users, another group exists that are just as dedicated to Apple's Mac. A final group exists in the undecided computer category, with either no clue what to use or a version of Linux. I'm here to sort this out, I am not going to be biased, but I will state my opinion. If you think differently, leave a comment below.
For many users, cost is key. You want to get the absolute most for your money. In years past, PCs dominated the budget friendly market, with Macs ranging anywhere from £100 to £500 more than a comparable PC. Now this price gap has lessened significantly. However, you will notice a few key features that Macs tend to lack in order to provide a lower price: memory and hard drive space
PC = 8/10
Mac = 6/10
Most PCs have anywhere from 2GB to 8GB of RAM in laptops and desktops, while Macs usually have only 1GB to 4GB. Keep in mind that this is for standard models, not custom orders
PC= 7/10
Hard Drive Space
Macs typically have smaller hard drives than PCs. This could be because some Mac files and applications are slightly smaller than their PC counterparts. On average, you will still see price gaps of several hundred dollars between comparable Macs and PCs. For computing on a budget, PCs win.
There are a few things to take into consideration that may actually make Macs more cost effective: stability and compatibility.
In years past, PCs were known to crash and users would get the blue screen of death, but Microsoft has made their operating systems more reliable in recent years. On the other hand, Mac hardware and software has tended to be stable and crashes occur infrequently.
Unlike with a PC, a Mac can also run Windows using a tool such as Boot Camp or Parallels. If you want to have a combination Mac and PC, a Mac is your best option.
Macs are exclusive to Apple. This means for the most part, prices and features are the same no matter where you shop. This limits Mac availability. With the numerous Apple Stores around the world, however, it's even easier to buy Macs and Mac accessories. Any upgrades or repairs can only be done by an authorized Apple support centre.
PCs on the other hand, are available from a wide range of retailers and manufacturers. This means more variation, a wider price range for all budgets and repairs and upgrades available at most electronics retailers and manufacturers. It also makes it easier for the home user to perform upgrades and repairs themselves as parts are easy to find.
The final Mac vs. PC comparison comes down to software. For the most part, the two are neck and neck. Microsoft has even released Microsoft Office specifically for Mac, proving Apple and Microsoft can get along. All and all, Macs are more software compatible as PCs only support Windows friendly software. Both systems support most open-source software. Software for both systems is user friendly and easy to learn.
Many people say that they want to get a Mac for things like Photo Booth and GarageBand along with the rest of Apple's software, however this is pointless as you can get better alternatives on Windows. If you have the money for a Mac, you have the money for a high-end Windows machine too. In the end, the choice comes down to personal preference. Due to price and availability, PCs tend to be the winner, while Macs remain the choice for the more elite or anti-Microsoft computer users. As you can tell, I'm a PC and this verdict was my idea.
PC = 50
Mac =49

No matter how hard I try, I can't stop hating Microsoft
Editorial, PC, Smartphones, Tablets, Technology
Apple, Arc Touch Mouse, Bill Gates, Chrome, dv7, Firefox, HP, iTunes, Microsoft, Microsoft Windows, Nokia, Pavilion, PC, Reddit, Safari, Steve Ballmer, technology, Toilet, Windows, Windows 8, Windows Media Center, Windows Media Player, Windows Phone, Zune
The title of this article is a little misleading, as those of you who read my posts, follow me on Twitter or know me in person will know that I love Microsoft. Windows Phone is my phone platform of choice, I would never consider using anything but a Windows computer, and the thing that I want most in the world right now is a 15.6″ one of these. But even with all the love I bear for the love-child of Ballmer and Gates, there are a large number of things about them which annoy me.
The first and foremost of these annoyances is with Zune. As a Windows Phone user, I am forced to use Zune in order to update, add music and video to and do a large number of other things to, my phone. This is fine, I can add and take away music to and from my phone quickly and easily, and updates will automatically commence if they are available. But when I got my HP Pavilion dv7 with Beats Audio, I began to play music through my laptop, whereas previously I had been using speakers connected to my phone. It soon dawned upon me that Zune, a beautiful piece of software, is one of the buggiest pieces of crap since Windows Media Player. Quite often while playing music, the song will randomly pause, move to a different point or just skip altogether, and on occasion I have closed Zune to find that the song that was playing doesn't stop playing, much to my teacher's dismay. When this is Skrillex, chemistry lessons can be quite awkward. What the hell is up with that? A company whom incorporated software into its very name can't be bothered or is unable to iron out the bugs in their music software. Even iTunes, something which is essentially designed to work on a different operating system and much maligned on Windows, is nowhere near as buggy. This being said, with the Zune name being dumped, and the software being incorporated into the OS, I surely hope that for Windows 8's sake that at least some of the bigger glitches will be ironed out.
And secondly, what is the point in Windows Media Player any more? The whole thing is utter crap and nobody in their right mind would ever use it. I mean seriously, software that causes computers to blue-screen (I speak through personal experience) through use is not right in any way. And if any person out there does use this utter piece of crap, please explain to me in the comments below why you would put yourself through it. Please.
My final point is the most obvious one. Internet Explorer. This is in every way the single most hated piece of software out there. It is crap, it crashes, freezes and is only there for sane people to download either Firefox or Chrome. And, to make matters worse, you have to have specific permission from Microsoft to be able to uninstall the software. Of course, you can do what both I and Xavier (our EIC) have done and bury it deep within our program files, but it will always be there, taunting you with the possibility that you may one day, have to use it.
So those are the main reasons that Microsoft pisses off even myself, a true Microsoft fanboy. Despite the wonders of things like the Arc Touch Mouse, SkyDrive and Windows Phone, Microsoft isn't perfect, but by ironing out the bugs and listening to consumers, they could get pretty close.

ABSTRACT: Indo-Pacific lionfish Pterois volitans/miles were likely introduced to Florida coastal waters via the aquarium trade and have spread rapidly along the southeastern coast of the United States and throughout the greater Caribbean region, including Bermuda and the Gulf of Mexico. This mesopredator has strong consumptive effects on native demersal fishes, especially on coral reefs but also including a variety of other nearshore habitats. The invader may also have substantial indirect effects on reef ecosystems by overconsuming ecologically important species. Given growing concern over what is likely the most damaging marine fish invasion to date globally, this Theme Section presents findings reported during a lionfish symposium at the Gulf and Caribbean Fisheries Institute annual conference convened in Panama City, Panama, in November 2015. New findings include mechanisms that enhance the success of the invader, the extremely broad and variable diet of invasive lionfish, the ecological effects of the invader on native fish populations in various environmental contexts, and non-consumptive interactions between invasive lionfish and native predators.

Q: Strange SIGPIPE in loop After dealing with a very strange error in a C++ program I was writing, I decided to write the following test code, confirming my suspicion. In the original program, calling send() and this_thread::sleep_for() (with any amount of time) in a loop 16 times caused send to fail with a SIGPIPE signal. In this example however, it fails after 4 times.
I have a server running on port 25565 bound to localhost. The original program was designed to communicate with this server. I'm using the same one in this test code because it doesn't terminate connections early.
int main()
{
        struct sockaddr_in sa;
        memset(sa.sin_zero, 0, 8);
        sa.sin_family = AF_INET;
        inet_pton(AF_INET, "127.0.0.1", &(sa.sin_addr));
        sa.sin_port = htons(25565);

        cout << "mark 1" << endl;

        int sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
        connect(sock, (struct sockaddr *) &sa, sizeof(sa));

        cout << "mark 2" << endl;

        for (int i = 0; i < 16; i++)
        {
                cout << "mark 3" << endl;
                cout << "sent " << send(sock, &i, 1, 0) << " byte" << endl;
                cout << "errno == " << errno << endl;
                cout << "i == " << i << endl;
                this_thread::sleep_for(chrono::milliseconds(2));
        }

        return 0;
}

Running it in GDB is how I discovered it was emitting SIGPIPE. Here is the output of that: http://pastebin.com/gXg2Y6g1
In another test, I called this_thread::sleep_for() 16 times in a loop, THEN called send() once. This did NOT produce the same error. It ran without issue.
In yet another test, I commented out the thread sleeping line, and it ran all the way through just fine. I did this in both the original program and the above test code.
These results make me believe it's not a case of the server closing the connection, even though that's usually what SIGPIPE means (why did it run fine when there was no call to this_thread::sleep_for()?).
Any ideas as to what could be causing this? I've been messing around with it for a week and have gotten no further.

A: Running this on my machine prints up to mark 3 once, as I expected it to. The fact that it does run several times on your end tells me that you have a server listening on port 25565, which you have not included in this question.
Your problem is that you are not testing to see whether the server, of which you have not told us, closed the connection. When it does, your process gets a SIGPIPE. Since you do not handle that signal, your process quits.
What you can do in order to fix this:

*

*Start checking return values of functions. It wouldn't have helped in this particular case, but you ignore potential errors from both connect and send. I'm hoping this is because of minimizing the program, but it is worth mentioning.

*Handle the signal. If you prefer to handle server closes from the main flow of your code, you can either register a handler that ignores the signal, or pass the flag MSG_NOSIGNAL to send. In both cases, send will return -1 in such a case with errno set to EPIPE.

*RTFM. Seriously. A simple man send and a search for SIGPIPE would give you this answer.

As for why the server closed, I cannot answer this without knowing what server it is and what protocol it is running. No, don't answer that question in the comments. It is irrelevant to this question. The simple truth of the matter is that a server you are talking to might close the connection at any time, and your code must be able to to deal with that.

(v) {a} ∈ la, b, c}
(vi) {x: x is an even natural number less than 6} ⊂ {x: x is a natural number which divides 36}
Let A = {1, 2, {3, 4}, 5}. Which of the following statements are incorrect and why?
Write down all the subsets of the following sets
(i) {a}
(ii) {a,b}
(iii) {1,2,3}
(iv) φ
(i) Number of elements in given set = 1
Number of subsets of given set = 21 = 2
∴ Subsets of given set are φ , {a}.
(ii) Number of elements in given set = 2
Number of subsets of given set = 212 = 4
∴ Subsets of given set are φ, {a}, {b}, {a, b}.
(iii) Number of elements in given set = 3
Subsets of given set are φ, {1}, {2}, {3}, {1, 2}, {2, 3}, {1, 3}, {1, 2, 3}.
(iv) Number of elements in given set = 0
Number of subsets of given set = 20= 1
∴ Subset of given set is φ.
How many elements has P(A), if A = φ?
Number of elements in set A = 0
Number of subset of set A = 20 = 1
Hence, number of elements of P(A) is 1.
Write the following as intervals:
(i) {x: x ∈ R, -4 < x ≤ 6}
(ii) {x: x ∈ R, -12 < x < -10}
(iii) {x: x ∈ R, 0 ≤ x < 7}

(i)Let A = {x: x ∈ R, -4 < x ≤ 6}
It can be written in the form of interval as (-4, 6)
(ii) Let A= {x: x ∈ R, -12 < x < -10}
It can be written in the form of interval as (-12, -10)
(iii) Let A = {x: x ∈ R, 0 ≤ x < 7}
It can be written in the form of interval as (0, 7).
(iv) Let A = {x: x ∈ R, 3 ≤ x ≤ 4}
It can be written in the form of interval as (3,4).
Write the following intervals in set-builder form:
(i) (-3,0)
(ii) [6, 12]
(iii) (6, 12]
(iv) [-23, 5)
(i) The interval (-3, 0) can be written in set-builder form as {x : x ∈ R,-3 < x < 0}.
(ii) The interval [6, 12] can be written in set-builder form as {x : x ∈ R, 6 ≤ x ≤ 12}.
(iii) The interval (6, 12] can be written in set-builder form as {x : x ∈ R, 6 < x ≤ 12}
(iv) The interval [-23,5) can be written in set-builder form as {x : x ∈ R, -23 ≤ x < 5}
What universal set(s) would you propose for each of the following:
(i) The set of right triangles.
(ii) The set of isosceles triangles.
(i) Right triangle is a type of triangle. So the set of triangles contain all types of triangles.
∴ U = {x : x is a triangle in a plane}
(ii) Isosceles triangle is a type of triangle. So the set of triangles contain all types of triangles.
∴ U = }x : x is a triangle in a plane}
Given the sets A = {1, 3, 5}, B = {2, 4, 6} and C = {0, 2, 4, 6, 8}, which of the following may be considered as universal set(s) for all the three sets A, B and C
(i) {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
(ii) φ
(iii) {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
(iv) {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
(i) {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} is not a universal set for A, B, C because 8 ∈ C but 8 is not a member of {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.
(ii) φ is a set which contains no element. So it is not a universal set for A, B, C.
(iii) {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} is a universal set for A, B, C because all members of A, B, C are present in {0,1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10).
(iv) (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) is not a universal set for A, B, C because 0 ∈ C but 0 is not a member of {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

University of Idaho could see 'collapsing enrollment' unless police solve students' murders, lawmaker says
By Paul Best
Idaho Students Killed
Police address stalker rumor in University of Idaho murders investigation
Police on Monday released new information on their investigation of four murders at University of Idaho—specifically into the rumor that one of the murdered students had a stalker.
MOSCOW, Idaho - An Idaho state lawmaker predicted "collapsing enrollment" at the University of Idaho unless police solve the quadruple homicide that took place over three weeks ago at an off-campus residence.
"I think, actually, it's going to be a snowballing disaster if they don't get to the bottom of it. I'm really concerned that we're going to see dropping enrollment at U of I. My daughter's best friend is there. I know folks who are there who do not want to go back," Idaho House Minority Leader Ilana Rubel, a Democrat who represents parts of Boise, told local news outlet KHQ on Tuesday.
"I think they're going to see collapsing enrollment. They're going to see people transferring out. Nobody wants to send their kids to a community where they could face this kind of horror. It's every parent's worst nightmare, it's every student's worst nightmare. They have got to find the perpetrator."
Idaho Gov. Brad Little directed $1 million in state emergency funds for the investigation last month. More than 100 law enforcement officers are investigating the murders, including 13 investigators and 15 troopers from the Idaho State Police. The state's forensic services lab has also prioritized evidence testing for the case.

Police still have not identified a suspect or located a murder weapon in the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20.

The university boasts a student body of about 11,500 people, with Moscow having a population of about 25,000.
The school estimates that anywhere from 25% to 40% of the student body has not returned to campus since the murders on Nov. 13. Professors have been instructed to work with students if they want to learn remotely for the rest of the fall semester.
RELATED: Police address stalker rumor in University of Idaho murders investigation
Police have urged the campus community to report anything out of the ordinary as the investigation enters its fourth week.
Police clear up 'miscommunication' on whether Idaho students were 'targeted' in brutal killings
Law enforcement officials investigating the murders of four University of Idaho students have issued multiple statements in the span of 24 hours to clear up miscommunication on whether the victims were "targeted."
"Your information, whether you believe it is significant or not, might be the piece of the puzzle that helps investigators solve these murders," Moscow police said.

One of the leading digital skills initiatives supported by the European Commission, EU Code Week, involved 2.7 million participants and nearly 44,000 events in its 2018 edition, a record that has "exceeded all expectations" according to the organisers.
Activities took place around the globe, as far as Peru, Malaysia, and Egypt. Italy was the most active European country with 20,000 activities, followed by Turkey (7,700) and Poland (5,000). In France almost half (49%) of participants were girls or women.
The initiative began as a grassroots initiative in 2013 and is run by volunteers, with the aim of promoting coding, computational thinking and digital literacy.
A large group of companies announced this week their agreement on a list of principles to make it easier for SMEs to licence the standard essential patents (SEPs) found in 5G devices.
The principles, drafted by the EU's standardisation bodies CEN and CENELEC, aim to provide law courts and industry stakeholders with guidance when interpreting the voluntary licensing commitments, known as FRAND terms ("fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory), often requested by standards organisations from intellectual property right-holders.
The principles cover six areas, including: avoiding the use of injunctions, ensuring easy-access to licences, not using patent bundling as an excuse to withhold a patent licence, and requirements to use Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) fairly and not exploit information advantages.
The automobile company SEAT and telecoms operator Telefonica have signed a collaboration agreement for a pilot project to test connected cars, with the aim of expanding access to 5G technology in Barcelona.
The project lies within the scope of the 5G Barcelona consortium, aimed at consolidating the city of Barcelona as Europe's benchmark 5G hub.
The characteristics of 5G technology that should help the deployment of connected cars include the use of low latency and edge computing – simplifying Internet of Things (IoT) device traffic and permitting real-time local data analysis, all of which will to help communication between the car and its surrounding infrastructure.
In an op-ed for the Financial Times this week, the EU's Security Commissioner Sir Julian King, said that Europe risks becoming "collateral damage" in the race between the United States and China to dominate the global technology market.
It is "increasingly urgent" for Europe to come up with strong security strategy as new 5G Internet networks are rolled-out worldwide.
The commissioner proposed to use the EU's newly agreed investment screening mechanism for the technology sector to coordinate spectrum auctions for 5G and boost joint funding in AI.
This week, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Mozilla and the trade associations representing the advertising sector submitted their first reports on the measures taken to comply with the Commission's Code of Practice on Disinformation.
The reports finds progress was made in taking down accounts and de-monetising purveyors of disinformation, but more must be done to widen access to fact-checking tools.
Facebook has taken measures to address all the measures in the Code, but should be clearer on how it will boost cooperation with fact-checkers. Google has taken steps to implement all commitments, particularly on improving the scrutiny of ad placements, but must make its tools available in all EU Member States as it is not currently the case.
Twitter has prioritised actions against malicious actors, closing fake or suspicious accounts but more information is needed on how this will restrict persistent users of disinformation from promoting their tweets.
And Mozilla is about to launch an upgraded version of its browser to block cross-site tracking by default, but, according to the report, the online browser must be more concrete on how this will limit the information revealed about users' browsing activities.
The first report will be officially published in February 2019 and will be followed by similar monthly reports until May 2019. By the end of 2019, the EC will carry out a comprehensive assessment at the end of the Code's initial 12-month period.
Facebook will implement tools to make political advertising more transparent during the upcoming EU elections, including "issue-ads".
Issue-based ads, which attempt to influence voters on an issue such as immigration rather than pull them towards a specific candidate, will also be covered by those rules – most of the political ads ahead of the Brexit referendum were focused on issues rather than people.
The European Parliament and the Council of the EU did not manage to agree on key aspects of the European Commission's Regulation "Fairness in Platform-to-Business Relations" when they met for a three-way trilogue meeting with the Commission on Monday, earlier this week.
The co-legislators must still find a compromise on obligations imposed on search engines (other than online rankings), provisions linked to terminations and suspensions (article 4), and their online ranking system. The issues will be discussed again at technical level on February 12.
The so-called "P2B" file is one of the EC's key proposals to improve the trust of Internet users in online platforms with new rules increasing the transparency of their terms and conditions and a better dispute resolution system, all in a bid to help hotels, online traders, app developers and other companies that rely on search engines for attracting Internet traffic.
Katarina Barley, Germany's Justice Minister, warned Facebook this week that Germany will enforce European law against Facebook if it combines its Messenger, WhatsApp and Instagram messaging services into a unified platform, saying it would amount to a "monopoly".
The British government is grappling with how to tackle distressing content and self-harm on social media, after The Sunday Times ran an investigation on the impact of social media on teenage suicide: "Revealed: how Big Tech pushes teens like Molly Russel to suicide".
Health Secretary and former Digital Secretary Matt Hancock, has written a strongly worded letter to the online platforms concerned (Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest) and called for the government to legislate "if [the UK government] think [those companies] need to do things that they are refusing to do".
His successor as Digital Secretary, Jeremy Wright, has been more cautious, warning after he took the position that U.K. Internet regulations must be "properly thought through". But the Minister eventually weighed in announcing that a "online harms white paper" would set out "new laws to tackle the full range of online harms and set clear responsibilities for tech and social media companies in the UK".
The Polish NGO Panoptykon Foundation filed complaints against Google and the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) related to the online behavioural advertising market.
The Panoptykon Foundation is a member of European Digital Rights in Brussels.

Today we participated in a school wide reading event. We took the time to read individually, with a partner or with our little buddy.
Leave a Comment: Today we were introduced to our Science Unit on Biodiversity. We watched a video together to get our minds thinking about biodiversity. What is a thoughtful question/wondering you have about biodiversity? What was something interesting from the video that you would like to learn more about?
Watch the following Bill Nye video if you missed Science today, or if you want to reinforce what you learned.
One question I have is that how does biodiversity impact our lives? Would our lives be different without biodiversity?
A question I have is how does biodiversity effect us in the long run? What would happen if we are'nt aware of biodiversity?
I want to learn more about being aware of diversity.
One question that I have is why is biodiversity everywhere .
My one question is which species are most at risk of extinction and why? One thing I found interesting from the video was that the largest ecosystem in the world is underwater where 2/3 of all species live.
What happens when the biodiversity chain crumbles? Do we get waste lands?
My question is what would happen without biodiversity,how would life be different?
Something I learned from the video is that the largest ecosystem in the world is underwater and 2/3 of all species live underwater.
One question I have about biodiversity is, when the biodiversity chain falls can that lead to human extinction? If so then will that affect any other animals, if we are extinct then will that lead to any other extinctions? For example how we cannot or it will be hard for human to survive if bees become extinct, will it be like that for other animals if we are extinct? One interesting I learned from the video is that we don't know which species we will need to survive, and so we have to make sure none of them become extinct soon, because one day we might need them for human survival and they will extinct.
I do not have anything that i want to learn more about or a question but i really enjoy learning about this subject.
I don't have any thing to really say i don't have a question.
I would like to know what is biodiversity. How did dodo birds go extinct.
If the bio diversity chain is destructed will humans become extinct or could we adapt?
if the biodiversity chain is destructed will humans become extinct or could we adapt?
A wonder I have is at one point won't there be no nature because of the circle of that?
I thought the whole circle of life things was really interesting!
A question I have is, what are certain things that could go extinct and affect us a lot? Something I found quite interesting is how Bill Nye explained biodiversity. He said biodiversity is like a game of Jenga if you pull a certain block the tower could crumble. In this case the tower is our ecosystem and how we all service off of different things and if the wrong block gets pulled who knows what could happen.
I acually don't have any questoins to ask about science,but it was good to learn something new.
I can't think of any questions but maybe I could find some questions when I do some research on the internet, I will like to learn more about the food chain, does it effect biodiversity?
One question I have about biodiversity is how can we conserve biodiversity.
I would like to learn more about extinct animals.
My question I have is what would happen if the chain broke? What I found interesting is that the largest ecosystem is underwater and 2/3 of the species live there.
1st my question would be, I wonder how everything falls apart from taking one thing from the chain of life. 2nd the thing I found interesting was basically my question.
A question I have is, what if all the animals, insects, and plants we know, disapeer? How would we be able to surrvive, how would we bring those creatures back? I found it interesting to learn about our ecosystem and everything around it.
My question is, are humans still part of biodiversity? Because if you take humans from the chain of biodiversity nothing would really happen, well, at least I think so. Something I would like to learn more about other ways animals turn extinct.
a questoin I why is that why is biodiversity every where in the world?

The last two years have seen the largest gambling hub in the world Macau take a huge loss in revenues due to the crackdown on corruption by Chinese president Xi in the former Portuguese colony.
What was once the undisputed Las Vegas of the East has had to adapt to a shift of focus to a more tourist like destination and not rely solely on revenues for heavy VIP gamblers from the Chinese Mainland as it had done in the past.
The last few months have seen a recovery for casino industry with revenues starting to increase and stabilize. In addition tourism is up with the number of international visitors increasing 8 percent in 2016 from 2015.
Global tourists are being attracted to Macau by massive resorts like Sands' Venetian and Wynn Macau which were recently opened. As of now 90 percent of tourists to Macau is still made up from China, Taiwan and Hong Kong but anyone visiting Macau will have noticed the increase in other nationalities.
Macau is now having to compete with other Asian casino hubs like Singapore and the Philippines. The fact that Japan is also legalizing casino resorts is very likely and is expected to rival Macau as one of the largest gaming hubs in the world.

Shield Black + White
A few weeks ago I got a very cool press drop from Shield.
It was their new Black + White range. As I've used Shield for years, I was keen to try this new version.
The campiagn is pretty cool, too. The press drop contained a set of blue tooth speakers to tie in with this press release:
WHO OR WHAT IS a doer?
A doer is anybody, young or old, male or female, who's always on the lookout for the next opportunity to push their life forward.
It's someone who makes things happen rather than waiting for things to happen to them. It's someone who challenges themselves to go further, who defines success on his or her own terms according to what's important to them.
A DOER is someone who sets goals, focuses on the future and stays positive. Who lives with no regrets. Who shows determination and puts in the effort to achieve—not to impress others, but for their own self-worth.
A DOER is someone who doesn't only dream—they get on and do it. And they enjoy the ride. It's someone who understands that doing new things makes life more interesting and reveals new horizons.
A DOER is someone who cares about relationships and connecting with others. It's someone always on the go, and who looks at life's natural pauses not only as an opportunity to ask "What's next?", but to plan their next journey.
We don't believe life is something to be endured.
Life is meant to be done.
There are those who live by this code every day;
we hope to inspire more of them.
We all have the opportunity to devour life,
to get out of our comfort zone,
try something outrageous,
challenge ourselves,
and inspire others;
to amp up our days and maximise our lives.
We all have the opportunity to do more of these things that move us,
and pursue our passions with dynamism and gusto.
All we have to do is look for them.
Or let them find us.
Shield seeks to inspire with a simple mantra: More.
What you can Do: More.
More living, more action, more commitment, more extraordinary;
especially with Shield to support you.
Do brave.
Do spontaneous.
Do audacious.
Do every day like it really matters.
Shield. DO:MORE
PRODUCT INTRO:
Every day, people come face to face with moments when the temperature starts to rise and the adrenaline begins to race. It might be standing in a wing suit on the edge of a South African precipice overlooking a vast canyon below. It could be waiting to give your all in a street dance battle on the pavements of Sao Paulo. It's most likely to be running for the bus to make a morning presentation at work.
Whatever the challenge you face, however big or small, the Shield range of anti-perspirants will always step up to the mark, releasing extra sweat protection to keep you dry, confident and always ready to ask yourself "What's Next?"
For many, an ongoing concern is the damage that residue can cause to their clothing, plus the embarrassment of yellow stains or white marks that can be left on black and white clothing from this residue. This impacts on their confidence and constrains them from doing more.
For these DOERS, Shield introduces their latest offering…
New Shield Black + White gives active men and women the confidence to lead their
DO: MORE lifestyles, free from yellow stains, white marks and sweat.
The range is in stores nationwide now. Be a DOER!
