Q: MySQL query optimisation - field on the left or right? I know think that I've read that one of the following is faster than the other, but I forget which is which:
SELECT * FROM `myTable` WHERE `myDate` > NOW();
SELECT * FROM `myTable` WHERE NOW() < `myDate`;

A: The optimizer will produce the same execution plan, realizing that the constant is the same on both sides.

Q: Standard SQL - How to count frequency of values in array I get the following Table with the query underneath:

SELECT
  fullVisitorId,
  COUNT(fullVisitorId) as id_count,
  ARRAY_AGG(trafficSource.medium) AS trafic_medium
FROM
  `bigquery-public-data.google_analytics_sample.ga_sessions_20170101`
GROUP BY
  fullVisitorId
ORDER BY
  id_count DESC

For each of the values in the trafic_medium column (e.g.: cpc, referral, organic, etc.) I am trying to figure out how often each value occurred in the array, so preferably add a new column 'count' that shows ho often that value occurred?
+-----------+---------+------+
| array_agg | medium  | count|
+-----------+---------+------+
| 123       | cpc     |   2  |
+-----------+---------+------+
|           | organic |   1  |
+-----------+---------+------+
|           | cpc     |   2  |
+-----------+---------+------+
| 456       | organic |   2  |
+-----------+---------+------+
|           | organic |   2  |
+-----------+---------+------+
|           | cpc     |   1  |
+-----------+---------+------+

I'm new to SQL so I'm quite stuck.
I tried this so far:
WITH medium AS
(
    SELECT
        fullVisitorId,
        COUNT(fullVisitorId) as id_count,
        ARRAY_AGG(trafficSource.medium) AS trafic_medium
    FROM
        `bigquery-public-data.google_analytics_sample.ga_sessions_20170101`
    GROUP BY
        fullVisitorId
    ORDER BY
        id_count DESC
)
SELECT
    fullVisitorId,
    trafic_medium,
    (SELECT AS STRUCT Any_Value(trafic_medium) AS name, COUNT(*) AS count
FROM
    UNNEST(trafic_medium) AS trafic_medium) AS trafic_medium_2,
FROM
    medium

Based on this thread:
How to count frequency of elements in a bigquery array field
However this only shows the number of 'Any_Value not for all distinct.
I would appreciate some help!
p.s. I am doing this in BigQuery on the 'bigquery-public-dataset.google_analytics_sample'

A: Below is for BigQuery Standard SQL to help you get started
#standardSQL
SELECT id, trafic_medium,
  ARRAY(
    SELECT AS STRUCT medium, COUNT(1) `count`
    FROM t.trafic_medium medium
    GROUP BY medium
  ) stats
FROM `project.dataset.table` t

if to apply to sample/dummy data from you question  as in below example
#standardSQL
WITH `project.dataset.table` AS (
  SELECT 123 id, ['cpc', 'organic', 'cpc'] trafic_medium UNION ALL
  SELECT 456, ['organic', 'organic', 'cpc']
)
SELECT id, trafic_medium,
  ARRAY(
    SELECT AS STRUCT medium, COUNT(1) `count`
    FROM t.trafic_medium medium
    GROUP BY medium
  ) stats
FROM `project.dataset.table` t
-- ORDER BY id

result will be

As an option - you can use below version
#standardSQL
SELECT id,
  ARRAY(
    SELECT AS STRUCT medium, `count`
    FROM t.trafic_medium medium
    LEFT JOIN (
      SELECT AS STRUCT medium, COUNT(1) `count`
      FROM t.trafic_medium medium
      GROUP BY medium
    ) stats
    USING(medium)
  ) trafic_medium
FROM `project.dataset.table` t
-- ORDER BY id

which (if to apply to the same dummy data) will output below

This version looks more aligned with your expected result

Q: Fastest way to Select a random number from each row padded numpy array (excluding the pad) and number of non padded values, using numpy operations I have a 2D numpy array, each row is padded with (with -1 for the example below).
For each row, I want to pick a random number, excluding the padding, and also get the number of non-padded values for each row, using only numpy operations.
Here is a minimal example. I picked -1 for the pad, but the pad can by any negative int.
import numpy as np
numList = [[0, 32, 84, 93, 1023, -1], [0, 23, 33, 45, -1, -1], [0, 10, 15, 21, 24, 25], [0, 23, -1, -1, -1, -1], [0 , 13, 33, 34, -1, -1]]
numArray = np.array(numList)
numArray

array([[   0,   32,   84,   93, 1023,   -1],
       [   0,   23,   33,   45,   -1,   -1],
       [   0,   10,   15,   21,   24,   25],
       [   0,   23,   -1,   -1,   -1,   -1],
       [   0,   13,   33,   34,   -1,   -1]])

For the lengths, the output should look something like this
LengthsResults
[5, 4, 6, 2, 4].

And here's an example output for picking a random non-pad number for each row.
randomNonPad
[84, 45, 0, 0, 34]

Edit:
I was looking at np.where, which lets you filter out parts of your numpy array on a conditional, and numpy random choice, which lets you pick a random number for an array. I'm not sure what to do with np.where though, it seems that you can change it to something, but I'm not sure what yet, or even if it's the right approach. For python, you could start with a list, and append it to any length, but for numpy you need to establish the array length ahead of time.

A: The index of the negative number in the row, which is also the length of non-padded elements, is most simply gotten by
lengths = np.argmin(numArray, axis=1)

This assumes that the padding number is the same for all elements within the row. This won't work properly for rows with no negative numbers, so you can fix it with:
lengths[np.take_along_axis(numArray, lengths.reshape(-1, 1), axis=1).ravel() >= 0] = numArray.shape[1]

You can now use this information to generate an array of random indices into your rows:
indices = np.random.randint(lengths)

And apply the index to get the corresponding elements:
result = np.take_along_axis(numArray, indices.reshape(-1, 1), axis=1)

While cleaning up the lengths array is likely the faster option, a shorter expression might be something like
lengths = np.where(np.any(numArray < 0, axis=1), np.argmin(numArray, axis=1), numArray.shape[1])

Also, if your padding number is not a consistent negative number, you will need to replace np.argmin(numArray, axis=1) with either np.argmax(numArray < 0, axis=1), or np.argmin(numArray >= 0, axis=1), regardless of which approach you use to compute lengths.

A: Note - this probably overlaps with @Mad's answer; I'll leave it in case the alternative explanation clears up some point of confusion.
In [32]: numList = [[0, 32, 84, 93, 1023, -1], [0, 23, 33, 45, -1, -1], [0, 10, 15, 21, 2
    ...: 4, 25], [0, 23, -1, -1, -1, -1], [0 , 13, 33, 34, -1, -1]]
    ...: numArray = np.array(numList)
In [33]: numArray
Out[33]:
array([[   0,   32,   84,   93, 1023,   -1],
       [   0,   23,   33,   45,   -1,   -1],
       [   0,   10,   15,   21,   24,   25],
       [   0,   23,   -1,   -1,   -1,   -1],
       [   0,   13,   33,   34,   -1,   -1]])

number of pads per row:
In [34]: np.sum(numArray==-1, axis=1)
Out[34]: array([1, 2, 0, 4, 2])

number of non-pad per row:
In [35]: np.sum(numArray!=-1, axis=1)
Out[35]: array([5, 4, 6, 2, 4])

I don't know if assuming the pad values are all at the end makes this any more efficient or not.  The sample's a bit small to make good timings.
picking a random non-pad from each row, the obvious first attempt is a row list comprehension:
In [40]: [np.random.choice(row[row!=-1]) for row in numArray]
Out[40]: [32, 0, 0, 23, 34]

Alternatively working from the lengths (above) (and assuming tail padding) we could pick a random index for each row:
In [46]: [np.random.choice(i) for i in Out[35]]
Out[46]: [1, 2, 1, 0, 1]
In [47]: numArray[np.arange(numArray.shape[0]), [np.random.choice(i) for i in Out[35]]]
Out[47]: array([93, 45, 21, 23, 13])

In hat tip to @Mad, randint accepts a list/array of range values, the choice comprehension can be replaced with:
In [49]: np.random.randint(Out[35])
Out[49]: array([3, 1, 2, 1, 1])
In [50]: numArray[np.arange(numArray.shape[0]), np.random.randint(Out[35])]
Out[50]: array([ 0, 23, 24,  0,  0])

Objectives : The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of group cognitive-behavior therapy on decreasing severity of pain and psychological distress among women with chronic back pain. Method: This research is a semi-experimental study with pretest-posttest design and control group. Among females with chronic back pain referred to Imam Khomeini Hospital and a clinic in Tehran in 2010, 30 participants with mean age of 33 years and 7 months were selected and randomly assigned to two equal experimental and control groups. Experimental group during twelve 90-min sessions received Turk and Free cognitive-behavior therapy, and control group were just followed. All participants completed the items of Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS), and Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale (QBPDS) prior to and after the intervention. The data were analyzed using independent t-test. Results: The findings revealed a significant decrease of back pain (p<0.05), and depression, anxiety and stress symptoms (p<0.05) in experimental group who participated in therapeutic sessions. Conclusion: Cognitive-behavior therapy could minimize adverse effects of pain and decrease psychological distress by changing dysfunctional behaviors, correcting counterproductive cognitions and deteriorating sensations related to pain.

How to watch the 95th Annual Academy awards nomination? And everything else you need to know
By Pragya Chowdhury
The Oscars Award at the Academy Museum Opening (Rich Fury/Getty Images)
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: After Golden Globes, Critics Choice Awards, and BAFTA now, we have the Oscars. The 95th Annual Academy Awards are just around the corner, primed and ready to celebrate nearly a decade of filmmaking, which in colloquial terms is known as the Oscars. Although the viewership keeps fluctuating of this grandiose award show, it is still regarded as the industry standard for deciding the best films, and performances of the year.
However, the 94th Annual Academy Awards is still unforgettable for everyone as they witnessed Will Smith slapping last year's host, Chris Rock out of nowhere. Just like every year in either late January or early February, the Academy selects two individuals (typically celebrities or other respected members of the Academy) to announce the nominees live. In case you don't want to miss it, read more to find out if your favorite movie of this year has been selected under any category at this prestigious award show.

BAFTA Film Awards 2023 Nominations: From 'The Whale' to 'The Banshees of Inisherin,' here's the full list
How to watch the 95th Academy Awards?
In case you want to watch the announcement for the 2023 Academy Award nominees, it is very easy. The announcement will more than likely be live-streamed on The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences' Twitter page, as last year. The film will also be live-streamed on the Academy's YouTube channel and Facebook page.
When are the nominees for the 2023 Academy Awards getting announced?
The announcement will take place at 8:30 am ET/5:30 am. PT from the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theater and will air live on 'Good Morning America' on ABC.
Who is hosting the show?
According to recent reports, comedian Jimmy Kimmel will host the Oscars this year, for the third time, after having done so for the 89th and 90th editions of the ceremony.
When and Where is the 2023 Academy Awards Ceremony premiering?
The 95th Academy Awards will take place Sunday, March 12 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
Regardless, unlike the nominees' announcement, no plans have been made for the 2023 Academy Awards Ceremony to be live-streamed. Instead, as in prior years, the event will be broadcast on ABC's cable channel, thus requiring either a cable subscription or a live-television subscription via a service such as Hulu.

It's a challenge coming up with new and cute recipe cards each month for my recipe club but it's a challenge I enjoy! I love to use punch art in my pages because it adds so much and my clubbers love it! This was a particularly putzy card but worth it in the end! We started out weaving 1/2 strips of Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla cardstock to form the checkerboard pattern. I got this idea from Lorie's recipe card. I wanted to make some kind of chef for my recipe card. I started out with this chef from Lynn but I veered off and came up with my own guy borrowing an idea or two along the way.
Punch art chef: large oval in Blushing Bride cardstock for head, heart punch in blushing bride for ears(cut heart in half), circle punch from punch pack trio in blushing bride for nose. Medium circle from owl punch for eyelids in blushing bride. Medium circle from owl punch in whisper white for eyes. Double circle punch(pig nose punch) in basic black for eyeballs. 1/2 of red circle from the medium circle in owl punch for mouth. Boho blossom punch in basic black for hair. The negative from the curly label punch for the mustache. Butterfly punch in Very Vanilla for top of chef hat. 1/2 x 1 inch strip of very vanilla with corners rounded for brim of chef's hat. I sponged around the chef's hat with Sahara Sand ink and around the large oval punch with Regal Rose ink.
Here is what the dish looks like.
The picture on this dish doesn't do it justice. It is quite tasty! This recipe came from Wendi too. I have one more recipe to share with you from recipe club in the next day or so.
My daughter and I are out Black Friday shopping today. We don't go at 4:00 or 5:00. I can't get her out of bed quite that early. I hope to be out there by 6:30. We've been doing this for about 5 years and it's a great bonding day for us! How about you? Are you tackling the crowds today!

"Adam Whone's tribute to the Withers family is a labour of love which adds considerably to the library of work published on the British violin-making tradition …….
…… [it] is a beautifully produced homage to his predecessors who founded and ran the Withers shop in London for 200 years. Although John Lott 11 is undoubtedly the best known figure to have been connected with the firm, many fascinating characters weave in and out of the story including Georges Chanot 11, George Wulme Hudson and the Vollers: in fact, all the great names associated with the marvellous reproduction instruments that were made in London at the end of the 19th century .. There are beautiful and clear colour plates provided of the work of the most important makers involved in the shop, and many fascinating archive pictures which bring this lively story into sharper focus. The book succeeds both as a piece of social and musical history and as a serious work of reference for the violin connoisseur."
John Dilworth (U.K.) – courtesy of The Strad magazine
"I bought and began reading your book on 'Withers' last week and found that I could not put it down without finishing it. It really is, in my opinion, a very fine presentation and deserves all the praise possible. Congratulations! In fact, I haven't seen or read a new publication in this genre which is so well researched and interesting. The photos are excellent and the price very reasonable. I shall do my best to suggest it to as many musicians and clients as I can."
Tom Blackburn (U.K.)
"I bought your book while I was in London for the British Makers Exhibition. I thought it was just going to be something else for the shelf, but when I started reading I was very surprised that it was good, and interesting, and ended up reading every word in one sitting. Robert Bein and I were talking about our favourite violin books the other day and it turns out that the same thing happened to him. It's an unusually informational book and fine reading!"
Michael Darmon (USA)
"What could I say about a book about a violin shop in London, written by its owner, concluding with a chapter about himself done in the third person? Well, what 1 can say is that it's a lot of fun to read and the perfect thing for a rainy Saturday afternoon when there are pressing chores that need to be ignored… The value of this book is the window it opens on the two centuries when London was the centre of the violin world, and it conveys a sense of the excitement and dynamism that made it so… Brew up some tea, pop a couple of logs on the fire, and spend a few hours exploring the history and the world of the violin:'

Q: Getting error while making variables static in the scanner function in eclipse java So basically I need the code to have access to the pin variable. But when I make pin static, Eclipse tells me to make all the variables before it static too. So I did that. But as soon as I make file static, the Scanner(textFile) gives the error:

Unhandled exception type FileNotFoundException

What causes this issue? I need the variables to be static. Maybe if there was a way to make a non-static variable equal a static one.
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class atmtester {
    atmtester() throws FileNotFoundException{}
    static Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
    private static float balance = 500;

    static String pinfile = "/Users/Pallav/Documents/Work/Computer Science/pin.txt";
    static File textFile = new File(pinfile);
    static Scanner fromfile = new Scanner(textFile);
    static String pin = fromfile.nextLine();

I only need help for the stuff above. Below code is just for context as to why I need the static to be there.
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
    System.out.print("Please enter your PIN: ");
    for (int i = 1; i < 4; i++) {
        String theirpin = keyboard.next();
        if (theirpin.equals(pin)) {
            System.out.println("Correct PIN entered. Now taking you to menu...");
            break;
        } else if (!theirpin.equals(pin)) {
            int triesremaining = 0;
            triesremaining = 3 - i;
            System.out.println("*Incorrect PIN. You have " + triesremaining + " tries remaining*");
            if (triesremaining != 0)
                System.out.print("Enter the correct PIN: ");
            else if (i == 3) {
                System.err.println("\n*Card Blocked!*");
                System.exit(0);
            }
        }
    }

static void checkPin(String tocheckpin) {
    if (!tocheckpin.equals(pin)) {
        System.out.print("Incorrect Pin. You have 1 more try. Try again: ");
        tocheckpin = keyboard.next();
        if (!tocheckpin.equals(pin)) {
            System.err.println("*Card Blocked!*");
            System.exit(0);
        }
    } else if (tocheckpin.equals(pin)) {
    }
}

A: You should do this:static Scanner fromfile = new Scanner(textFile);  under a function, can be main method or any other method because it will have an

unhandled exception: FileNotFoundException

When you enclose Scanner statement inside a method, you can either use it under a try catch block or throw exception in the method itself such as
a() throws FileNotFoundException{}
And to answer why it is asking you to convert pin to static is:

*

*main method is static and you can access pin either by creating an object of a class or declaring pin as static. Hence it demanded you to change it to static

*After declaring pin, it asks you to convert all other variable to static because you are using
-->fromfile in pin, that is pin = fromfile.nextLine();so you have to assign only static content to another static variables
-->now textFile is being used by formfile.. so textFile should be made static
--> now pinfile is assinged to textfile.. so pinfile should be changed to static.

You should understand that, static variables belongs to class itself and not the class instances

A:
And I don't know why.

The reason for the compilation error is that new Scanner(String) can throw a FileNotFoundException.  This is a checked exception, and that means that it must be either caught ... or propagated.
The problem is that exceptions thrown by the initializers for a classes fields CANNOT be caught.
There are two ways to solve this:

*

*You could do the initializations in a static initializer block; e.g.
static File textFile = new File(pinfile);
static Scanner fromfile;
static String pin;
static {
    try {
        fromFile = new Scanner(textFile);
        pin = fromfile.nextLine();
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        pin = 0;
    }
}

*A better approach would be to put the initialization (and exception handling) into a static method:
static String pin = readPinFromFile(pinFile);

public static String readPinFromFile(String fileName) {
    // ... open file, read and close, handling exceptions
}

Q: Qt application interface freeze I'm experiencing some problems with my embedded application. It is a page that contains a QTimeEdit that counts the time each second, some checkboxes and some QLineEdits that refresh each second.
After some minutes of working, I see a freeze of interface, even if the application is still running. If a try to press buttons or checkboxes an access violation message appears:

Exception 'Access Violation' (14): Thread-Id=05d80002(pth=8af6109c), Proc-Id=04a90002(pprc=91431714) 'nmb3.exe', VM-active=04a90002(pprc=91431714) 'nmb3.exe' PC=407ea307(qtgui4.dll+0x0005a307) RA=40d6c82c(qtgui4.dll+0x005dc82c) SP=01c1b928, BVA=00000004

The exception is related to qtgui4.dll. I checked if a saturation of virtual memory occurs, but this is not the problem that causes the freeze.
The freeze doesn't occur if I avoid to update the QTimeEdit, but I don't understand why.

A: You should move the timer into the mainwindow class, keeping the sensors handler in the separated thread.
The sensors handler should:

*

*store the data

*emit a "data ready" signal to the window

Then the timer in the mainwindow, every second, will:

*

*read the data from the sensors handler

*update the GUI

(make sure you are using thread-safe objects or, managing the critical sections)

The night was cold as ice.
I gazed upon the starry skies.
A mem'ry flashed upon my sight.
I felt like I have taken flight.
Into the golden sunset in the sky.
They soared so lovely in the sky.
I realized the day was done.
Disappear before the mountain peak.
I woke up in stun.
For the day was done.


What is the life of a doctor really like? Is there an end to studying? Are money and prestige guaranteed? Can a fulfilling medical career and a satisfying family life co-exist and what support can a parent or partner give? Which doctors are the happiest? What is the most important question to ask yourself before studying medicine?
An insider's calm and considered answers could determine whether you choose to pursue this high-stakes career.
Becoming a doctor is a tremendous privilege and a serious responsibility. With her trademark warmth and story-telling ability, Ranjana Srivastava delves into the reality of being a doctor in the modern era of medicine. Through lived experience as a front-line clinician, prolific writer, and mother, she celebrates the highlights of being a doctor but doesn't flinch from the disappointments. Her compelling stories illustrate the hidden facets of a life in medicine. From the burden of prolonged medical training and the regret of mismatched expectations, to the humility of caring and the joy of making a difference, this book contains illuminating observations, reflection and advice that should be required reading for anyone contemplating a career as a doctor.

Warning to Children
Children, if you dare to think
Of the greatness, rareness, muchness
Fewness of this precious only
Endless world in which you say
You live, you think of things like this:
Blocks of slate enclosing dappled
Red and green, enclosing tawny
Yellow nets, enclosing white
And black acres of dominoes,
Where a neat brown paper parcel
Tempts you to untie the string.
In the parcel a small island,
On the island a large tree,
On the tree a husky fruit.
Strip the husk and pare the rind off:
In the kernel you will see
Blocks of slate enclosed by dappled
Red and green, enclosed by tawny
Yellow nets, enclosed by white
Where the same brown paper parcel -
Children, leave the string alone!
For who dares undo the parcel
Finds himself at once inside it,
On the island, in the fruit,
Blocks of slate about his head,
Finds himself enclosed by dappled
Green and red, enclosed by yellow
Tawny nets, enclosed by black
And white acres of dominoes,
With the same brown paper parcel
Still untied upon his knee.
And, if he then should dare to think
Of the fewness, muchness, rareness,
Greatness of this endless only
Precious world in which he says
he lives - he then unties the string.
One Of The Best Things About My Life Is My Circle

Avatar: Is It A Pagan Movie?
This is an interesting take on the impact of the movie Avatar, not the least because it accepts the views of Australia's catholic bishop.
Other commentators have complained that Avatar promotes a leftist or greenie agenda but Cardinal Pell knows where the real danger lies. He is an expert on the activities of pagan propagandists. In 2001 he warned: "We must not allow the situation to deteriorate as it had in Elijah's time, 850 years before Christ, where monotheism was nearly swamped by an aggressive paganism, by the followers of Baal." (Baal was a Phoenician fertility god.)
Now it would seem that Baal is back, in the person of the writer-director James Cameron. Cardinal Pell is disturbed by Cameron's speculation that a planet might function as a giant organic computer into which all living things are connected.
Reviewing Avatar in The Sunday Telegraph last weekend, he wrote: "Worship of the powerful forces of nature is half right, a primitive stage in the movement towards acknowledging the one: the single Transcendent God, above and beyond nature. It is a symptom of our age that Hollywood is pumping out this old-fashioned pagan propaganda."
Love the conflation of all Paganism w/ Ba'al ( a deity with whom I am personally unacquainted). Not really.
What's really interesting to me is how threatened xians and conservative writers are about a film that shows how satisfying and profound it can be for people to have a relationship with their landbase, planet, natural world (and, no, those of us in such relationship don't regard our Planet as a super computer.) It's that element of Avatar that seems to be attracting huge attention (and pissing off Sullivan).
I also object as strongly as I know how (one of my favorite movie scenes is the one where, in A Few Good Men, Demi Moore objects, is overruled, and then "strongly objects") to the old notion that monotheism and a "transcendent" (aka broken relationship with nature) deity is a "step above" Paganism. And, the notion that Paganism is "old-fashioned."
And, I'm not going to bother with the notion that, until Avatar's ticket sales surpass those of The Sound of Music (a film released years and years and years ago) it's a flop. I could make, in about ten minutes of billable time, a damn good argument that The Sound of Music, with its focus on family, landbase, freedom, the overthrow of a patriarchal family regime, and underground movements, is a Pagan movie.
The article discusses Monbiot's points that Avatar reflects Europe's actions in America (and I'd argue in all of not-Europe, see, e.g., India, Africa, Asia, etc.). Yeah, that's the part of the movie that my brilliant friend E called "anvils" -- it hits you over the head. But Monbitot, who is far more brilliant that I can ever hope to be, misses the point. The point is that people who invade don't have the same relationship with the landbase/plantet/etc. as the people who have lived there forever. So it's a lot easier to strip resources, denude forests, kill off "natives" if you're doing those things to someplace "other" than if you're doing it to your own landbase. A movie that posits a relationship with an entire planet makes that process, absent instellar travel, a lot more difficult.
Finally, this article has has the regular capitalization problems and a problem with calling the movie "propaganda." Was Mel Gibson's movie "propaganda"? Have all the movies that adopt a patriarchial, xian approach to the univers (aka 98% of them) propaganda?
Lately, I'm thinking more and more about how the Na'vi "ground" by inserting a portion of their bodes into the planet. I may have more to say about that later.

Mother Of Mares
You know, I just love nonsense like this:
Officers now suspect white "witches" who practice "knot magick" are using the horses to help them cast spells. It is thought that Pagan [G]ods have a close connection with horses, which adds strength to spells that incorporate the animals.
Apparently, "white" witches, linking up over some evil cauldron of social networking such as facebook or myspace, have been showing up and braiding the manes of British horses in order to do spells. At least, that's their story, since "it's the Pagans/Satanists/Voodoos/etc." is always the first thing police do to "explain" anything "odd."
Epona must be amused at being called a "God." And we note, yet again, the inappropriate capitalization and use of quotation marks in the original story.

ROBERTSON: [S]omething happened a long time ago in Haiti and people might not want to talk about it. They were under the heel of the French. Napoleon the Third and whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, "We will serve you if you get us free from the prince." True story. And so the devil said, "OK, it's a deal." They kicked the French out, the Haitians revolted and got themselves free.
But ever since, they have been cursed by one thing after the other, desperately poor. That island of Hispaniola is one island. It's cut down the middle, on the one side is Haiti, on the other side is the Dominican Republic. The Dominican Republic is prosperous, healthy, full of resorts, etc. Haiti is in desperate poverty. Same island.
When America threw out the British, they apparently didn't make any such pacts. Nice white people, in America.
Robertson knows this how? He doesn't know which French ruler, but he knows all about this pact with the devil? What is it with these xian freekazoids and their complete inability to not act like jerks whenever there's a natural disaster?
h/t to trifecta in Comments at Eschaton.
Update: Apparently, evangelicals have been telling this story about a deal with the devil, conflating the devil with Voodoo deities, for some time now. In Haiti's capital Port-au-Prince today you can see an iron pig statue. It commemorates the ritual of the African religion Americans today call Voodoo conducted by Boukman on August 14, 1791.
A pig on that day was ritually killed. The escaped slaves joined in drinking its still-warm blood as part of a pact. Boukman led his followers in vowing that they and their children would serve the pagan gods of the island, including the devil, for exactly 200 years in exchange for freedom from the French.
Seven days later the slaves of Haiti rose in rebellion, soaking Haiti in the blood of the French overseers and plantation owners who had enslaved them.
On January 1, 1804 – exactly 200 years ago – a beaten France acknowledged the independence of Haiti. This, as you soon shall see, is a key fact in our story.
No need to point out how racist this is, is there?

May The Goddess Guard Her. May She Find Her Way To The Summerlands. May Her Friends And Family Know Peace.
Miep Gies, who helped to hide Anne Frank and who saved her diary, passed away at 100.
Born in Vienna to Christian parents on February 15, 1909 with the name of Hermine Santruschitz, she moved to Leiden in 1920 to escape food shortages and was raised by a Dutch family who moved to Amsterdam two years later and nicknamed her Miep.
She started work as an office assistant at a textile factory but lost her job in 1933 as the economic crisis deepened. She then came under the employment of Anne's father, Otto Frank, who was director of a pectin producing company.
Gies avoided deportation to Austria by marrying her Dutch boyfriend, Jan, in 1941. Their son Paul was born in 1950 and they lived in Amsterdam until 1993, when Jan died at age 87. Paul has now opened a condolences register on his website.
Gies and her husband became family friends with the Franks and when Otto asked for help, they agreed to hide him and his family at the secret annex, bringing them daily groceries and providing a link to the outside world.
In August 1944, after 25 months in hiding, the Frank family were arrested but an Austrian SS officer spared Gies from captivity out of sympathy on condition she promised not to flee.
Gies found Anne's diaries in the debris left by the raid and kept them in her desk drawer without ever reading them. After the war ended, when it became clear that Anne was not coming back, she handed them over to Anne's father.
She received honors from several governments and institutions, and last year had an asteroid named after her by the International Astronomical Union.
May we all be as brave when life demands it.

This weekend, when I was driving G/Son home, we had on a CD of songs by Emerald Rose, including their version of Caledonia. G/Son was interested in the songs, asking me what each was about. When we got to Caledonia, I said, "This is a song about a man who's lonely for his home in Caledonia, which means 'Scotland.'" G/Son said, "Is it the real man who was lonely for it, or is it just a song?" I said, "Well, a lot of people have sung this song, ever since the first lonely man sang it the first time. But I think that they were all, at some point, lonely for Caledonia. Sometimes, I'm even lonely for Caledonia." G/Son said, "Nonna! Your home isn't in Caledonia; it's in Virginia!" and I said, "I know, but my heart's home may be in Caledonia, where our Pictish ancestors ran to hide from the Celts," and G/Son said, "My heart's home is in Maryland," and I said, "So, it is."

Come To The Dance
This weekend, I needed to plan a dark Moon ritual and I turned, as I often do for inspiration, to Judika Illes' Element Encyclopedia of 5,000 Spells. I don't know that I've ever actually done one of the spells in Illes' book, mostly because (Bad Witch!) I'm usually lacking some important ingredient such as High John the Conqueror's (not that my garden isn't full of bindweed, but I'm always trying to get rid of it, not preserve it for magic) root, or Abra-Melin Oil (which I'd make, except that I lack galangal and myrrh), or kyphi. But I always come away with a ritual in mind after spending a few hours with Illes.
Just now, when my friend NTodd is talking about what we all CAN do to change things and when so many of us are feeling as if some things just never seem to change, and while I am contemplating a ritual with some new witches with whom I've never before done magic of this sort, I was struck by something Illes said:
Why would anyone send a hex or a curse, anyway?
The first reason is the obvious: bad people do bad things. The destructive impulse can be extremely potent.
Other answers are more complex and ambiguous. In some cases, there may be an extremely fine line between a hex and a justice spell. We're very quick to jump to conclusions these days and automatically brand every hex-caster as evil; however, this perception may derive from the luxurious vantage of comfortable ties. People don't create or cast courtcase spells unless there's at least a remote possibility of legal justice. What if you exist in a time or place where you or your loved ones are at the mercy of others more powerful than you and there is no recourse, none, not at all, to justice? What do you do then? Hexes are not an uncommon response. Hexes may be cast as a desperate attempt to end persecution and abuse.
I don't know that I've ever hexed anyone, but I've definitely done plenty of magic that would worry a lot of 21st Century witches who were raised hard on the "Rule of Three" and the notion that you should never interfere with another's will. When it's some powerful man's will that women be denied access to abortion, just as an odd-for-example, I've got no problem interfering with that man's will. (He, as I used to say to my mother, started it. And used his access to power that I don't have.) And if I feel ok about moving on the "mundane" plane to make a political impact (writing my Senators a letter or showing up at a protest), I've got no problem doing magic to make those "mundane" actions more effective. YMMV and one of my few hard-and-fast-rules about magic is that no one should do any magic when she's uncomfortable with either the objective or the means.
When do you do justice spells? And where do you buy Jezebel Root?

What Is This Stuff We're Surrounded By?
One thing I'll say about Winter sunshine: It may not warm as much as I wish, but it sure does illuminate. The quality of light in Winter is so different, so much more stark and revealing than the warmer sunlight of Summer. This morning, G/Son and I were getting him dressed for a foray out into the bitter cold and a drive from Nonna's house back to his house. We were in my guest room, which has SouthEastern windows and the sunlight was pouring in. G/Son likes to jump on the bed in between articles of clothing, so it can be a lengthy process: put on undershirt and underpants/jump on the bed; put on sweatpants/jump on the bed; put on shirt/jump on the bed; put on socks, well, you get the idea. Finally dressed, G/Son got down from the bed while Nonna was folding up his pajamas and putting them into his overnight case.
Suddenly, clearly enchanted, he cried, "Nonna! What's this stuff we're surrounded by?" I looked down, saw him looking all around, and said, "What? Do you mean the walls and the wallpaper?" G/Son said, "No, Nonna! Look into the sunlight! What's this stuff we're surrounded by?" The smile of wonder on his face was one of the loveliest things that I've ever seen. I knelt down so that I was on the same level that he was and slipped my face into the ray of Winter sunlight in which he'd been standing. And, then . . . I saw. Tiny specs of dust, raised by G/Son's jumping on the bed, were floating in the sunlight. Aware of a teachable moment, I said, "Oh, I see! What do you think it could be?" G/Son said, "We're surrounded by it. Are we always surrounded by it?" And I said, "Yes, we're always surrounded by it, but we usually only see it in certain kinds of sunlight. Some people say it's dust, but that just gives it a name; it doesn't answer the question, does it?" G/Son was slowly turning around by now, hands out in the universal gesture of wonderment, and he said, again, "Nonna, what is this stuff we're surrounded by?" I said, "Well, I think it's a little way of seeing just how much wonder and magic is around us, all the time. I think the sun shows it to us some times to remind us how wonderful our world is. A long time ago, a man named Gerard Hopkins wrote a poem about it. Would you like to hear it?" G/Son looked up as if just remembering that I was there, and said, "Yes." So while he stood, and looked, and slowly turned in the sunlight, I went into the kitchen, grabbed the correct book of poetry, and read him "God's Grandeur".
I don't think that he got more than the feeling; he stopped for a minute and said, "Are we surrounded by it even at night?" and I said, "Even at night. And, a few times in your life, when the Moon is full and the air is warm, you'll see it even then." G/Son said, "I will?" and I said, "I promise."

TR14: What is Wrong with Freemasonry?
Many people both Christian and non-Christian ask this question. Our ministry feels Freemasonry is an evil system that is opposed to the true gospel of Jesus Christ. It worships another god and offers another way of salvation.
However, even if you are not a Christian, you may not want to become a member of the organization when you find out the truth about its historical roots and symbols.
All of the symbols in Freemasonry have sexual interpretations. This explains just one of the symbols and why Freemasons wear the white aprons.
Freemasons worship another god, the Grand Architect of the Universe.
Freemasons have chosen to worship the Grand Architect of the Universe and not the Holy God of the Bible alone.
Jesus is only one way of salvation, forgiveness, and cleansing.

Q: UITableView crashes because "Attempt to create two animations for cell" (iOS 7) In an UITableView I am trying to exchange the position of two sections and to add a new row into one of them by using a batch update.

Here is my code:
[self.tableView beginUpdates];
[self.tableView moveSection:from toSection:to]; // from: 0, to: 1
[self.tableView insertRowsAtIndexPaths:@[indexPath] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationAutomatic]; // indexPath.section: 1, indexPath.row: 1
[self.tableView endUpdates];

But the UITableView instance crashes and outputs the following:

    ...

Is it not possible to move a section and add a new row at the same time in a batch update?

A: I know this is an old question, but just ran into this myself on iOS 11.3. We have code that diffs old and new models and generates UITableView updates, and it explodes with the "more than one animation for cell" exception when a section is both moved and has any changes to its cells (insert/delete/update).
The only solution is to delete/insert the section in this case, rather than move. You could either always do this (and probably animate sub-optimally), or do what we do and track when cells change and do the move only when safe.

A: You should change dataSources as well.
- (void)exchangeTableSection
{
        [self.tableView beginUpdates];

        NSMutableArray *temp = self.data1;
        self.data1 = self.data2;
        self.data2 = temp;
        [self.data1 insertObject:@"ROW Z - NEW ROW " atIndex:1];

        [self.tableView moveSection:0 toSection:1];
        [self.tableView insertRowsAtIndexPaths:@[[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:1 inSection:0]] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationAutomatic];

        [self.tableView endUpdates];
}

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
        return 2;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
        if (0 == section) {
                return self.data1.count;
        } else if (1 == section) {
                return self.data2.count;
        }
        return 0;
}


The Department offers multiple opportunities for Graduate Research. Many professors take on graduate students to participate in a plethora of research opportunities. Below are a few examples of current graduate students and their research!
Project Summary: My research will identify important habitat features used by brown trout throughout the year. I will then recommend potential management strategies that will increase wild brown trout production by increasing habitat quality in Oatka Creek.
Project Summary: My thesis project evaluates the extent and impacts of a vitamin B1 (thiamine) deficiency on salmon and trout from Lake Ontario. In addition, potential causes of the deficiency that are linked to diet will be studied using fatty acid analyses.
Project Summary: I am interested in how invasive liana infestations (Oriental bittersweet and Chinese wisteria) affect tree growth and physiology within two major portions of Mendon Ponds Park (south of Rochester, NY). Additionally, I am interested how Oriental bittersweet may impact various plant communities across Western New York, with a particular focus on competitive interactions with its native congener, American bittersweet.

The Real Rip-Off Report
Sarah Fenske February 1, 2007 4:00AM
Miller, clearly, has gotten under Magedson's skin. And one reason, even beyond the whole death-threat controversy, is that he's built, by far, the most damning case against Magedson.
Two years ago, Miller put up a Web site devoted entirely to bashing Magedson. It included his mug shot for a 1970s pot bust (the charges were later dropped) and the fact he'd been arrested for passing bad checks. (Those charges were dropped, too.) It also claims he's a wanted criminal, a slur that would certainly be at home on the Rip-Off Report, but which seems to have little basis in reality.
But beyond the rhetoric, there's that deposition, the one time Ed Magedson's talked under oath about the Rip-Off Report. And, under questioning from Miller's attorney, Magedson seems to admit the allegation that he still denies most vehemently: that, for money, he's deleted reports from his site.
Under oath, Magedson first said that no, he didn't remove complaints for the businesses that were paying him. Then he changed his tune.
When Magedson was first developing his corporate advocacy program, he was working with a company called Mini Vacations. And when someone posted something about Mini Vacations that was clearly false, Magedson seemed to admit under oath that he'd removed the complaint.
He said it was "a test," though he didn't explain what he meant. "And we did it for a very good reason," he added, "and we never did it again."
"What was the very good reason?" Miller's attorney asked.
"It was a company that was on the program," Magedson said. "And this company has like — if every company was like them . . . I wouldn't even have as much jobs. This company is an excellent company."
When the attorney prodded him, Magedson tried to backtrack.
"I don't know if I ended up doing it or not," Magedson concluded. "I had offered it. Or either I changed the reports that they were bogus, or I removed some of the reports. But that was — excuse me, one time that I did that, if I did not. And I honestly could not remember.
"If you offered me a million dollars right now, 'Ed, could you tell me absolute, either yes or no,' . . . I could not tell if you if I ended up deleting the — some of the reports."
In a telephone followup with New Times last week, Magedson denied saying that. He agrees that, initially, when he was working with Mini Vacations to develop the corporate advocacy program, he discussed deleting reports for companies. But that idea was scrapped.
He e-mails later to say that the deposition is wrong, that the court reporter screwed up. He's now certain he never removed a report.
But Steve Miller is sure he's got him — and under oath, no less.
He sees Magedson as a sophisticated scammer who happened to approach the wrong guy.
"When he gets somebody like me contacting him, that's when he starts licking his chops," Miller says. "He has a mark. He wanted me to pay him. I told him to screw off."
Miller ultimately dropped his lawsuit: "I got him in deposition, which was my goal all along. I wanted to show the world he's a liar and a loser."
If nothing else, Miller's Web site is proof that Magedson's warning to the business owner who contacted him at Chompie's is correct: We're all going to end up tarred online by someone.
Especially if we prove as controversial as Ed Magedson.
These days, if you Google "Ed Magedson," you don't get Steve Miller's Web site in your top hits, but if you want the dirt on Magedson, you still have plenty of options. The second link is to a site put up by an entirely different critic. It proclaims that "Ed Magedson is a wanted criminal that extorts individuals." And the third link, www.goodbusinessbureau.com, claims that "Ed Magedson founder of ripoffreport.com is a wanted criminal that extorts individuals and legitimate companies for money."
This is how things work in the age of the Internet.
Want to out-shout Ed Magedson? You may not need his corporate advocacy program. You just need to build a better Web site.
Magedson, of course, has his mantra. Though he's initially chagrined to be asked about the specifics that guys like Miller have uncovered, he calls later to make it clear he understands how the process works. He knows that he suggested New Times look into the controversy around him. He's a big boy.
"I know when people stop suing me, and stop talking about me, and stop threatening me, that's when I'll have to worry," he says, for the fourth time.

Left-arm unorthodox spin, also known as slow left arm wrist-spin and formerly as chinaman or can simply called as UNO , is a type of left arm wrist leg spin bowling in the sport of cricket. Left-arm unorthodox spin bowlers use wrist spin to spin the ball, and make it deviate, or "turn" from left to right after pitching. The direction of turn is the same as that of a traditional right-handed off spin bowler; however, the ball will usually turn more sharply due to the spin being imparted predominantly by the wrist.
Some left-arm unorthodox bowlers also bowl the equivalent of a "googly", (or "wrong'un"), which turns from right to left on the pitch. The ball turns away from the right-handed batsman, as if the bowler were an orthodox left-arm spinner(ORO).
In cricketing parlance, the word "chinaman" was sometimes used to describe the stock delivery of a left-arm wrist-spinner, or "unorthodox" spin bowler (though some reserve it for the googly delivery.) The origin of the term is uncertain. One version relates to a Test match played between England and the West Indies at Old Trafford in 1933. Ellis "Puss" Achong, a player of Chinese origin, was a left-arm orthodox spinner, playing for the West Indies. He had Walter Robins stumped off a surprise delivery that spun into the right-hander from outside the off stump. As he walked back to the pavilion, Robins reportedly said to the umpire, "fancy being done by a bloody Chinaman!", leading to the popularity of the term in England, and subsequently, in the rest of the world. However, it has been suggested that the term originated earlier than this, in Yorkshire. In 2017 Australian journalist Andrew Wu, who is of Chinese descent, raised concerns about the use of the term as a "racially offensive term" which he argued the term itself "has historically been used in a contemptuous manner to describe the Chinese". Wisden formally changed their wording of the term to slow left-arm wrist-spin in the 2018 edition of the Almanack, describing it as "no longer appropriate".
Among noted players who have bowled the delivery are Denis Compton, who specialised in the delivery when bowling. Although better known for fast bowling and orthodox slow left arm, Garfield Sobers could also use it to good effect. In cricket's modern era, Brad Hogg is a natural spinner of the ball who popularised the delivery and has one of the most well-disguised wrong'uns. He was a member of Australia's victorious 2003 and 2007 Cricket World Cup teams, picking up 13 wickets in 2003 and 21 wickets in 2007. Kuldeep Yadav, who debuted for India in March 2017, bowls it and Paul Adams played 45 Test matches for South Africa between 1995–2004 using the delivery.

It has been suggested that Vestibule (architecture) be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since August 2022.
Lobby of a contemporary apartment building in Washington, D.C.
A lobby is a room in a building used for entry from the outside.[1] Sometimes referred to as a foyer, reception area or an entrance hall, it is often a large room or complex of rooms (in a theatre, opera house, concert hall, showroom, cinema, etc.) adjacent to the auditorium. It may be a repose area for spectators, especially used before performance and during intermissions, but also as a place of celebrations or festivities after performance.
Since the mid-1980s, there has been a growing trend to think of lobbies as more than just ways to get from the door to the elevator but instead as social spaces and places of commerce.[2][3] Some research has even been done to develop scales to measure lobby atmosphere to improve hotel lobby design.[4] Many office buildings, hotels and skyscrapers go to great lengths to decorate their lobbies to create the right impression and convey an image.[5][6][7]

To perform the romanian deadlift first set a barbell with desired weight on rack. Grasp the bar using a shoulder width overhand grip, with your hands exactly outside your legs and dismount it from the rack. Step away from the rack, position your feet about shoulder wide apart and stand completely straight, with slightly bend knees and your head looking forward. This will be your starting position.
Take a deep breathe and start lower the bar by leaning the torso forward at the waist and pushing with the hips way back. Continue to lowering the bar until you feel a good stretch in your hamstrings. Then carefully change the direction of the movement and bring the bar up by driving the hips forward and straightening your torso to the upright position as you breathe out.
Maintain a straight back and keep your chest up during the movement.
Keep your head in one line with your spine as you perform the exercise.
Your knees must be slightly bend (about 15-20 degrees knee flexion) during the movement.
Use smaller weight plates or stand on a raised platform to ensure full range motion.
If you are new at this exercise give your self enough time to learn the right form and work on your hamstrings and glutes flexibility.

Today, we show respect and gratitude to those who have sacrificed for our freedoms. We honor those who have given of themselves to our Armed Service. Our debt to their call of duty is large. Parades have been taking place and many businesses are offering special deals to our deserving vets. Here in my hometown, our library held an event that assisted families in writing letters to a soldier. With the holidays upon us, it would be an especially good time to remember those deployed by writing a note of encouragement and thanks. Military Missions is in need of cards and notes to be included with care packages sent to troops around the world. Military Missions desires to put at least 10 cards within every care package. They love schools, churches and clubs to have children spend a few minutes making cards. According to their website; "Dear friend" is a great way to begin your note. For $30.00, you can adopt a hero and have a care package sent. Cards can be mailed to: Military Missions Inc., 3650 Boston Rd., Suite 146, Lexington, KY 40514.
And while we honor our veterans, we think of those who worry, work and carry on while their loved ones are away. Melissa Higa is senior airman for the U.S. Air Force and has been deployed to Korea for nine months. She was very much missed by her daughter, Riley, who wished her mother home for her tenth birthday. After she was told her mother wouldn't be able to come, she wrote to President Obama asking if he could please call her mother's boss to let her off. The letter was never sent, but Melissa was able to surprise her daughter. Thinking she was being interviewed about her request to the President, a sad Riley had no idea her mother was going to be there. You can watch their joyful reunion here.
During War World II, while women worried and carried on, our country asked them to work in a different way. They were encouraged to leave behind their kitchens, vacuums and kids to become part of the war effort. Women could help America by taking on factory jobs traditionally held by men. Rosie The Riveter, a hit song of that era, came to symbolize these women who served their country by earning an hourly wage. While it became acceptable and patriotic for women to fill this void, they were expected to return to their homes or office jobs at war's end. In 1942, Elinor Otto, now age 93, joined the war effort riveting wing sections of C-17 cargo planes for 65 cents an hour. Says Elinor; "We were part of this big thing. We hoped we'd win the war. We worked hard as women, and were proud to have that job."
Elinor looked for other employment, including becoming a carhop. Not being able to roller skate soon brought an end to that. She considers it lucky that she was soon rehired due to the booming aircraft industry. For over 70 years, she has been faithful to her job. The local legend serves an inspiration to her co-workers as she arises at five every morning to arrive at the Boeing plant to begin driving in rivets. As an original Rosie, her town honored her by founding the Rosie the Riveter Park in Long Beach, CA.
A heart-felt thanks to our veterans.

I would love to say thanks to all who have served, or are serving today! My post goes out to my Father who served in WW2, lost most of his hearing while on tour, but came home and raised a very loving family. RIP Daddy, you served your country and family proud.
Awesome post Lily!
Thank you to all who have serve, and who are currently serving today!
Beautifully written tribute to all our veterans and active service members. Today women even join the armed forces as well as hold the family together. I am so happy that that little girl got to see her Mom on her birthday.
Robin (Masshole Mommy) says
My husband is a vet, so I am extra appreciative of their hard work, dedication and service. Thank you to everyone who has served!
Our service men and vets have put their life on the line to keep our country safe. They should be honored daily.
It's so neat to hear Elinor's thoughts and her obvious pride in making a difference at that time.

Lily@IW says
My uncle, who was a POW in Korea, passed away very recently. He was very proud of his service. My uncle was the one responsible for introducing my mom and dad. My dad was a friend of his and after meeting the sister, he was soon coming to see her instead of my uncle.
My father was a vet of Korea. He came home with tuberculosis and had a long recovery in a VA hospital. All of this was before I was born, my mother was home taking care of my infant big sister. It was quite miraculous that he survived.
Can't say it enough.. a big thank you to our vets!
Sarah Bailey says
It's amazing to think off all our ancestors have done for us – I have to admit the story today about all the people turning up for the veterans funeral who had no one really touched me. x
Pepper says
I loved reading the stories of the women who have served and the ones who waited at home.
That time period where women entered the workforce did change the future of women in the workplace.
Lily,
You are a special gal. 🙂
Wonderful, perfect for this day and all the vets that have served us ! Thanks for sharing
