SAN FRANCISCO — It was just a matter of time before Scott McNealy slammed Sun Microsystems Inc.'s nemesis Microsoft Corp. is his keynote address Tuesday at JavaOne.
addressed developers at the worldwide conference by bringing Java development one step closer to the realm of open source.
The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) has reached an agreement with Sun Microsystems and members of the Java Community Process (JCP) to secure the basic right to implement Java specifications in open source. The agreement is the result of extended dialogue over the past year.
Sun has pledged to use licences that enable open source independent implementations for all its Java specifications and Test Compatibility Kits (TCKs) for future Sun-led Java specifications as well as key specifications already released.
""We believe, properly implemented, these changes will fertilize the growing open source Java community, resulting in wider adoption of Java technologies. We also strongly believe the wider availability of Test Compatibility Kits and the existence of solid open source Java specification implementations will serve to improve and enhance Java's compatibility,"" said Jason Hunter, ASF vice-president, Java Community Process.
The agreement responds to four concerns Apache raised in January and were seen as critical to Apache's support of and continued participation in the Java Community Process. These include: The right to freely implement specifications in open source; the right for specification leads to release reference implementations and test kits in open source; the right for specifications to be created more publicly; and the right to free access to test kits by open source, non-profit, and academic groups.
Hunter said these issues would be addressed in two ways. First, through a series of proposed revisions to the legal agreement signed when joining the Java Community Process, known as the JSPA. The JSPA is currently undergoing revision by the JCP Executive Committee. Second, and more immediately, Sun has agreed to proactively address Apache's issues for Sun-led JSRs.
From now on, licence terms for finalized Sun-led specifications (including revisions to existing specifications), will allow independent implementations under open source licenses. TCK Binaries for these specifications will be made available at no cost to qualified open source, non-profit, and academic groups. Sun will also provide substantial support to aid these qualified groups in the use and execution of the TCKs.
Hunter said the ASF will be closely monitoring the implementation details of the agreement to make sure any gains resulting from the agreement are not lost.
McNealy said there's only two computing architectures — one that is open and one that is completely closed.
McNealy said it's important that technologies developed through open standards processes, such as XML, are protected from those companies that might hijack it and transform it into something that's completely proprietary. He said the Java Community Process has been successful because it balanced openness while adhering to standards.
""Standards bodies tend to move at the speed of Congress,"" he joked.
Microsoft has been pushing what it calls ""shared source,"" whereas McNealy described the development of .Net as ""closed via proprietary edict.

Vikki Dougan (eigentlich Edith Tooker; * 1. Januar 1929 in Brooklyn, New York) ist ein US-amerikanisches Model und Schauspielerin. In den 1950er Jahren erlangte sie in Hollywood Bekanntheit als Sexsymbol.

Leben
Vikki Dougan wurde als einziges Kind von Wilber und Mary Tooker geboren. Bereits im Alter von 11 Jahren begann sie ihre Laufbahn als Model. 1956 erhielt sie ihre erste kleine Filmrolle als Showgirl in Zurück aus der Ewigkeit mit Anita Ekberg in der Hauptrolle. In den folgenden Jahren war Dougan in weiteren Filmen und Fernsehserien zu sehen. Eine ihrer bekanntesten Rollen spielte sie 1958 als Gladys Dunne in der Komödie Babys auf Bestellung an der Seite von Doris Day und Richard Widmark.

Seit 1953 trat Vikki Dougan nach einer Idee ihres Managers Milton Weiss zumeist in rückenfreien Kleidern in der Öffentlichkeit auf, um als Sexsymbol neben etablierten Stars wie Marilyn Monroe und Jayne Mansfield Bekanntheit zu erlangen. Tatsächlich brachte ihr das als provokativ aufgefasste Outfit eine große mediale Aufmerksamkeit ein. So war sie auf der Titelseite mehrerer Magazine wie dem Life Magazine sowie als Model auf Schallplattencover zu sehen. Von der Presse erhielt Dougan den Spitznamen "The Back" ("Der Rücken"). Zudem war sie zweimal als Pin-Up im Playboy zu sehen: Erstmals im Juni 1957 und erneut im Dezember 1962 in einer Fotostrecke mit dem Titel Playboy's Other Girlfriends.

Auf ihrem 1961 erschienenen Album The Slightly Fabulous Limeliters veröffentlichte die US-amerikanische Folkband The Limeliters einen Song mit dem Titel Vikki Dougan, der in seinem Text Dougans rückenfreie Outfits parodiert. Im Januar 1964 veröffentlichte das Magazin Cavalier eine Fotostrecke mit Aktfotos von Vikki Dougan unter dem Titel The Back is Back. Dougan verklagte das Magazin daraufhin, da sie einer Veröffentlichung der ursprünglich für den Playboy gedachten Fotos nicht zugestimmt hatte. Nachdem die Klage erfolglos blieb veröffentlichte das Magazin zwölf weitere Fotos ohne die Genehmigung Dougans.

In den 1960er Jahren erregte Vikki Dougan vor allem durch ihr Privatleben und ihre Affären mit mehreren Hollywoodstars wie Frank Sinatra Aufmerksamkeit. 1969 zog sie sich ins Privatleben zurück. Vikki Dougan lebt heute in Beverly Hills.

The Honorable Sandra Day O'Connor and The Honorable Alexander Sanders Jr., Founder, Charleston School of Law
Law & Society Series
Religion and the Law:
"In Search of a 'Grand Unified Theory": Thirty Years with the Endorsement Test
The Honorable Sandra Day O'Connor, Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court (ret.), brought the crowd to their feet as she artfully responded to the day's discourse on the Establishment Clause, the Endorsement Test, and whether a "grand unified theory" can be applied to matters of law. To view the program, click here.
The day-long symposium, hosted by the Charleston Law Review of the Charleston School of Law and the Riley Institute at Furman, began and ended with comments by Justice O'Connor. Throughout the day, participants looked at pivotal cases in the treatment of religious displays and acts and how the U.S. Supreme Court interpreted their constitutionality under the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.
Video of The Honorable Sandra Day O'Connor
The day-long symposium, opened and concluded by Justice O'Connor, looked at the pivotal cases in the treatment of religious displays and acts and how the U.S. Supreme Court interpreted their constitutionality under the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. Leading legal and judicial experts in church-and-state, the First Amendment, and civil rights participated in panel discussions on religious symbols, public prayer and funding.
Justice O'Connor was the first female Supreme Court Justice, known for her careful examination of the cases outside of the political implications, and she was often the swing vote in close rulings. She delivered her address to a standing-room-only crowd in the Charleston Music Hall on April 15, 2013.

Baptist doctrine is a reference to the teachings of the Baptist Church. For many churches affiliated with the National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc,and other Baptist bodies, the Church Covenant and Baptist Articles of Faith are authoritative doctrinal documents.
On this page you will find links to the text of these doctrinal statements and my teaching notes on them.
It is a good practice for every Baptist to review their doctrinal statements at least annually, so their Baptist identification is not reduced to worship style or simply the name on the building.
I. As for the Church Covenant, this is a Baptist doctrine document that is essentially a renewal of vows among the members of the church to walk together in Christian love and maturity. The exact text may vary from church to church; however, the essence is the same.
Church Covenant: Text with Scripture Here you find the text of the Church Covenant that we recite every first Sunday at our church. This link also includes scriptural support for each paragraph. The Church Covenant is a Bible based covenant or agreement among the members of a given church.
Church Covenant: Teaching One Here you find my teaching notes on the first paragraph of the Church Covenant. Scriptures are reviewed and practical pointers are given about issues like who enters the covenant, with whom is the covenant entered into, and God being our witness.
Church Covenant: Teaching Two Here you find my teaching notes on the second and third paragraphs of the Church Covenant. Scriptures are reviewed and practical pointers are given about issues like "walking together in Christian love," giving as God has given to you, and diligently studying God's word.
Church Covenant: Teaching Three Here you find my teaching notes on the fourth paragraph of the Church Covenant. Scriptures are reviewed and practical pointers are given about issues like building one another up, cultivating Christian courtesy, and being easy to get along with.
Church Covenant: Teaching Four Here you find my teaching notes on the fifth paragraph of the Church Covenant. Scriptures are reviewed and practical pointers are given about issues like securing a letter before you leave your church and the three W's to look for in a church - Word, work, and warmth.
II. As for the Baptist Articles of Faith, these are twenty four statements about issues that are rather significant Baptist Doctrine.
Baptist Articles of Faith: First Eight Articles with Scriptures Here you will find the text of the first eight Baptist Articles of Faith with scriptural supports. The following teachings provide scriptural reviews and practical pointers on living by the various articles.
Baptist Articles of Faith: Second Eight Articles with Scriptures Here you will find the text of the second eight Baptist Articles of Faith with scriptural supports. The following teachings provide scriptural reviews and practical pointers on living by the various articles.
Baptist Articles of Faith: Third Eight Articles with Scriptures Here you will find the text of the third eight Baptist Articles of Faith with scriptural supports. The following teachings provide scriptural reviews and practical pointers on living by the various articles.

Pixel Scroll 1/17/17 'Twas Pixel That Killed The Scroll
Posted on January 17, 2017 by Mike Glyer
(1) ASK ME ANYTHING. SFWA President Cat Rambo visited with her fans at Reddit today — "Yup, It's My Real Name: AMA with Cat Rambo".
I think that, more than ever, it's important for writers to be working together and sharing notes. I see a lot of scams out there, and also some increasingly shady activity on the part of some of the traditional publishers.
Perhaps at one time, a writer could live an existence where they produced a manuscript, handed it off, and got enough money to go write another. Increasingly, though, that's not the case and writers have to spend at least a little time thinking about marketing themselves – even if they're publishing traditionally. Publishing continues to change rapidly, and writers need to stay on top of that, because they're the ones with the most at stake.
(2) BUSINESS WISDOM. Kristine Kathryn Rusch continues her advice to writers in the aftermath of the latest publishing fiasco — "Business Musings: All Romance Ebooks & Visions of the Future Part Two".
But I'm not here to discuss the merits or lack thereof of Booktrope or ARe. I did that in other posts. What I need to discuss here is the future.
You see, these closures were right on time. And several other closures will follow in the next few years.
Some of the upcoming closures will be predictable. And others will catch us all by surprise.
Why am I saying this?
Because three different factors are coming into play in the next few years. These three factors intertwine, at least in the indie publishing industry, which will amplify the result.
You'll need to bear with me. This will take some explaining.
One note on terminology. When I say indie publishing, I mean the non-traditional side of the publishing industry. Indie publishing encompasses the self-publishing revolution which started thanks to Amazon and the Kindle in 2008. (Amazon released the Kindle in November of 2007, just in time for holiday giving.) Some writers still self-publish, but many use services or have created their own publishing companies to publish outside of the mainstream infrastructure. Hence, indie as in independent. (What confuses all of this was that, back in the day, many small but traditional presses called themselves independent presses. I'm not talking about them. I'm talking about publishing that could not have happened in 1985.)
So, what are these three intertwining factors that will impact us in the next few years?
A gold rush
An investment bubble
A business cycle
(3) GHOST TOWN. Comic Excitement, whose antiharassment policy made news ahead of last weekend's debut convention ("They Think It's a Joke"), reportedly bombed. Trae Dorn covered it in Nerd and Tie — "Comic Excitement Convention's Flop and the Hubris of Man".
You'd probably be forgiven for not knowing that "Comic Excitement Convention" (yes, that's the actual name) took place this last weekend in Los Angeles, CA. Despite their touted $10,000 cosplay contest prize, it doesn't seem like a lot of effort was put into marketing the con.
Which is probably why hardly anyone showed up.
The first year convention occupied Kentia Hall at the Los Angeles Convention Center, and although early promotional materials talked about expecting a massive turnout, at con observations estimate attendance to be under a thousand. The whole thing… well it seems to have been a mess….
(4) NO SH!T SHERLOCK. Naked Security says those rascally Russian hackers are suspected of another break-in — "BBC launches probe into leak of Russian-dubbed Sherlock finale".
Damn you, Russia, we wish we knew how to quit you!
If you're not hacking our politicians and our politicial machinery, you're leaking a Russian-language version of the recent season finale of the BBC's hotly anticipated Sherlock a whole day earlier than it was supposed to air.
Maybe. Allegedly. At any rate, Russian state TV is definitely investigating the leak "in close contact with the BBC", according to Russia Today (RT), Russia's English-language broadcaster.
Russian Channel One is blaming hackers for the show's last episode, dubbed in Russian, having been illegally uploaded for all to see and all Russians to decipher on Saturday.
(5) SIMPLY HORRIBLE. Cheatsheet argues these are "10 of the Worst Sci-Fi TV Shows of All Time". But first on the list is Space:1999 — how can that be right?
In the past decade or so, science fiction on television has seen a dramatic uptick in both quantity and quality. Shows like Westworld are keeping critics engaged and audiences coming back for more week after week, but while a number of sci-fi shows over the years have developed significant cult followings, others have become notorious examples of just how bad the genre can be when it isn't executed effectively. Here's our look at some of the worst sci-fi shows to ever hit the small-screen. For the record, we're focusing specifically on live-action series only. So any infamous animated shows won't be appearing below….
Logan's Run (1977–1978)
Based on the popular sci-fi film of the same name, this television adaptation has remained largely forgotten. An attempt to cash in on the film's success, the show — which starred Gregory Harrison as Logan 5 and Heather Menzies as Jessica 6 — lasted only 14 episodes before network executives called it quits.
(6) ROSARIUM MAKES A DEAL. Bill Campbell's award-winning Indie house Rosarium Publishing will be publishing Taty Went West, the critically-acclaimed fantasy debut novel by South African born writer, artist, and musician Nikhil Singh.
The story is the first in a trilogy of what Singh describes as "Alice in a necrotic Wonderland" and follows Taty, a teenage girl who is forced to run away from home and escape to The Outzone, who discovers along the way that she has extrasensory powers. She finds herself kidnapped and dropped into a world filled with a motley cast of eccentric characters, including a feline voodoo surgeon, a robotic sex slave nun, detachable siamese twins and a sinister pleasure peddler who wishes to exploit her gifts.
Described by Lauren Beukes as "a hallucinogenic post-apocalyptic carnival ride," Taty Went West is part satire, part science fiction and completely fantastic. Singh's prose style of writing and elaborate descriptions are only enhanced by the gorgeous illustrations which head each chapter and are drawn by the author as well.
(7) TODAY'S BIRTHDAY GIRL
Born January 17, 1933 — Shari Lewis, actress and puppeteer, best known for Lamb Chop.
(8) TODAY'S BIRTHDAY BOY
Born January 17, 1931 — James Earl Jones, who became even more famous by voicing Darth Vader,
(9) COVER UP. Out of Print has a line of clothing featuring the art from classic sff/f book covers.
(10) FLAME OFF. CinemaBlend knows "How Lynda Carter Helped Supergirl With That Old School Wonder Woman Reference".
The CW's Supergirl has dropped nods to major superheroes of DC Comics history many times over its first two seasons so far, and it surpassed itself in a Season 2 episode that featured legendary actress Lynda Carter as President Olivia Marsdin. The episode managed to sneak in an unforgettable reference to Carter's role as Diana Prince on Wonder Woman. I spoke with veteran TV director Rachel Talalay about her work directing Lynda Carter and star Melissa Benoist on Supergirl, and she told me this about what went into the Wonder Woman callbacks in the "Welcome to Earth" episode of Season 2:
They were written in the script, and they were absolutely embraced. We were allowed to push them, but they were definitely in the script. That was great because that gave us permission to just say 'We know we're doing Wonder Woman homages.' So there was an absolutely magical moment when it was scripted that Melissa was to do the Wonder Woman twirl to put herself out when she was on fire. Lynda came and said, 'I'll show you how to do it.' I have on my phone a video of Lynda Carter showing Melissa Benoist how.
(11) THIRD ROCK. Curiosity has found its third meteorite on Mars.
NASA's Curiosity rover has spied a potential meteorite on Mars, which would be the third it has found since it landed in August 2012….
There's a bit of a puzzle about these meteorites, though. On Earth, 95 percent of all meteorites are stony, and only 4.4 percent are iron. But so far on Mars, all eight meteorites seen (three by Curiosity and five by Opportunity) have been iron.
(12) RAPT ATTENTION. A subject near to our hearts: "Striking photos of readers around the world".
A new book brings together Steve McCurry's photos of readers, spanning 30 countries. From a steelworks in Serbia to a classroom in Kashmir, they reveal the power of the printed word….
McCurry's photos are made up of those moments, glimpses of people absorbed in the written word, many unaware they were being photographed. The Swiss poet, novelist and painter Hermann Hesse gave an insightful description of what can be an all-consuming experience in his 1920 essay On Reading Books. "At the hour when our imagination and our ability to associate are at their height, we really no longer read what is printed on the paper but swim in a stream of impulses and inspirations that reach us from what we are reading."
(13) SAD POOKAS. I've been informed these aren't the droids I'm looking for. I also just realized I love Big Brother.
This is a lie; these examples are NOT typical of what is on #sadpookas, though we're very happy to have fan support! (From File 770) pic.twitter.com/IOvQHmcm1U

(15) BRADBURY PLAQUE. Mentioned in yesterday's comments, here are photos of the plaque in UCLA's Powell Library commemorating the spot where Ray Bradbury wrote Fahrenheit 451 on a rented typewriter. John King Tarpinian, who was instrumental in getting the school to put up the plaque, appears with Bradbury and Dennis Etchison in the second picture,

Q: How to have a $resource return sample data in angular? Assume I have a angular service with the resource:
var res = $resource('/myurl/:index', {index: '@index'})

Is there a way for me to make it such that I can define arbirary paths such that when within my service I call:
$res.query()
I can get some hardcoded output of "[1,2,3]" without having the resource actually calling the server or expecting the server to have a function that supports the query()?

A: You may use a JSON file for the sample-data.

A: I think you're approaching this a bit wrong.  $resource is a factory for creating Services where you specify the url and other parameters for a given API endpoint.  If you have a fake or test API endpoint, just create a fake Service that returns the hard coded data.
Here's an example:
.factory('TestDataResource', function() {

    return {
        query: function() {

            // Return Hard-coded data
            return [1, 2, 3];
        }
    }
});

And then you can use it in your controllers or wherever, for example:
.controller('MyController', function($scope, TestDataResource) {

    $scope.data = TestDataResource.query();
    // $scope.data should contain [1, 2, 3]
});

A: $resource calls $http under the covers so you should be able to use $httpBackend to mock responses. This page has a wealth on information on this.

As Mexico-U.S. talks progress, markets rise on hopes a deal could be close
Business Reuters Jun 07, 2019 04:06:42 IST
By Roberta Rampton and Dave Graham
WASHINGTON/MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican and U.S. officials resumed talks on trade and migration on Thursday, with markets rebounding on reports that a deal could be close, although it was unclear if Mexican pledges to curb migration flows were enough to stop tariffs on Mexican goods going ahead.
U.S. President Donald Trump has warned that tariffs of 5% on all Mexican exports to the United States will go into effect on Monday if Mexico does not step up efforts to stem an increase in mostly Central American migrants heading for the U.S. border.
Bilateral talks in Washington are seeking to avert the tariffs, which have rattled global financial markets, with even Trump's fellow Republicans fretting about the potential economic impact on U.S. businesses and consumers.
U.S. stocks, oil and Treasury yields rose on Thursday afternoon on reports that the two sides were getting closer to a deal.
But Vice President Mike Pence said discussions would continue "in the days ahead" and that Mexico had to take "decisive action" to avoid tariffs. The decision on whether to move forward with the tariffs would be up to Trump, he said.
Mexico has offered to send up to 6,000 members of its national guard to secure its southern border with Guatemala to contain migrant flows, according to two people with knowledge of the matter. A deal could also include a provision to make it easier for the United States to deport Central American asylum seekers, the Washington Post reported.
Mexico's finance ministry said it blocked the bank accounts of 26 people for "probable links with human trafficking and illegal aid to migrant caravans."
Bloomberg News, citing people familiar with the matter, reported that the United States was considering a delay in the tariffs to allow for more negotiations.
In response to the report, the White House said its position on the Monday deadline had not changed. "We are still moving forward with tariffs at this time," said spokeswoman Sarah Sanders.
Talks are set to continue at the State Department on Thursday evening, CNBC reported. With Trump on a trip to Europe until Friday night, an agreement by the U.S. side is not expected on Thursday, however.
If the tariffs go ahead, the United States would be in a serious trade dispute with both China and Mexico - two of its three top trading partners.
Trump said on Thursday he would decide whether to carry out his threat to hit Beijing with tariffs on at least $300 billion in Chinese goods after a meeting of leaders of the world's largest economies this month.
Officials of the U.S. Federal Reserve and International Monetary Fund separately warned that global trade tensions and rising tariffs posed an increasing risk to decades of U.S. expansion, as well as to the global economy.
Analysts warn that tariffs could spark a recession in Mexico. Credit ratings agency Fitch downgraded Mexico's sovereign debt rating on Wednesday, citing trade tensions among other risks, while Moody's lowered its outlook to negative.
Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador struck a positive note on Thursday morning, saying the U.S. authorities had not "closed themselves off to dialogue."
Nevertheless, Mexican officials have prepared a list of U.S. products that may face retaliatory tariffs if talks do not end in agreement.
The tariffs would target U.S. products from agricultural and industrial states regarded as Trump's electoral base, a tactic China has also used with an eye toward the president's 2020 re-election bid.
The head of the U.S. House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee vowed to take steps to block the tariffs.
"If the president does declare a national emergency and attempt to put these tariffs into place, I will introduce a resolution of disapproval to stop his overreach," panel chairman Richard Neal, a Democrat, said.
U.S. hog farmers fear Mexico could hit back on products like pork if the tariffs go ahead next week. Mexico bought about $1.5 billion worth of American hams and other pork products in 2017, making it the sector's top export market by volume.
"People are really scared," said Nick Giordano, vice president and counsel for global government affairs at the National Pork Producers Council. "This is generating a tremendous amount of uncertainty and potentially if this goes forward, it's going to be financial turmoil."

Сюжет
Панорама реки Бикин, у костра сидят люди народности удэге, среди которых старый охотник Маяка. Шаман с бубном исполняет ритуальную пляску.

Маяка с женой возвращаются на лодке по реке к своему жилищу, где жена Маяки готовит пищу на костре.

Маяка в новом строящемся поселке удэгейцев Красный Яр. Наблюдает за работой строителей.
Маяка плывет по реке на лодке, острогой ловит рыбу.

Маяка идёт в тайгу за корнем жень-шеня для подарка внучке, уезжающей на учебу во Владивосток. Пред тем как сорвать жень-шень молится перед ним.

У посёлка приземляется самолёт, из него выгружают почту и товары. Среди улетающих на нём удэгейцев внучка Маяки. Маяка передает внучке жень-шень.

О фильме
Курсовая работа студента 4-го курса режиссёрского факультета ВГИКа Юлия Файта (мастерская М. И. Роома), дипломная работа выпускника операторского факультета Владимира Чумака. По словам Файта идея принадлежала Чумаку, он был родом из Владивостока, ещё до учёбы во ВГИКе подростком работал в Дальневосточной студии кинохроники:
Чумак был родом из Владивостока и очень любил родные места. Идея Чумака так увлекла меня, что я согласился. Меня привлек и сам материал, и возможность увидеть новые места, другую жизнь… Жил рядом с нашим героем, слышал ночью рык амурского тигра, присутствовал при камлании шаманов…

Фильм получил первую премию на Венского фестиваля, в 1960 году был в числе шести фильмов представлен на выставке ВГИКа в Центральном Доме Литераторов, где получил высокую оценку.

To meet the current trend towards the consumption of cheerful, fun and innovative wines, the Matarromera Group can offer 5.0 WIN, a product line comprising two frizzante wines, a Verdejo and a pink, both fresh, frizzante and low in alcohol.
Its development is made possible by taking special care during the harvesting process, through preserving the grape juice at low temperatures and fermenting the alcohol at 5.0 degrees, which allows the CO2 from the fermentation itself to be maintained, without artificially gasifying it. This fresh wine maintains the characteristic acidity of the Verdejo grape, but also takes on a natural sweetness that makes it a Verdejo with more tropical aromas.
WIN 5.0 responds to the need to address a market segment that demands such products, and this is possible thanks to the sophisticated technology that Matarromera has in its molecular deconstruction plant that allows for the design and production of low alcohol or non-alcoholic wines, located in Valbuena de Duero (Valladolid). These are facilities that at the same time allow the production output of this low alcohol wine to be controlled, depending on any potential increases in demand that may occur.
WIN 5.0 Rosé is prepared using Tempranillo and Verdejo grapes. Its development is made possible by taking special care during the harvesting process, through preserving the grape juice at low temperatures and fermenting the alcohol at 5.0 degrees, which allows the CO2 from the fermentation to be maintained.

Why are Optical Network Systems important to Fibre Characterisation?
At OTT, we have a deep understanding of the technologies that are used to transmit ever higher volumes of data over optical fibres, as well as a deep understanding of all aspects of the physical fibre optic infrastructure. The interactions between these two critical aspects is built into all our courses, so that you benefit from the big picture, rather than being solely focused on one part of the equation.
So, on the CFCE course not only will you learn how to test the fibre links thoroughly in accordance with the ITU G.650.3 Recommendation and relevant IEC International Standards, you'll also be able to analyse the results of the tests to assess the ability of the link to support different applications and technologies.
Higher data rates at 10Gb/s and above on direct detection systems have tight limits on the amount of chromatic dispersion and PMD allowed. DWDM and expecially CWDM systems use more wavelengths so you need to know about the infrastructure performance at those wavelengths. As we progress more into the world of 100Gb/s+ then even more of the fibre and physical infrastructure parameters can have an impact on system performance, particularly with the more widespread deployment of Raman amplifiers. Coherent systems may have the ability to compensate electronically for some dispersion, but there are still limits, and the optimum system design will be enhanced by detailed knowledge of all aspects of the fibre infrastructure.

Baltimore Spirits Co. rolling out a new gin named for the undead
Photo courtesy of Baltimore Spirits Company
Just in time for the season of remembering the dead, Baltimore Spirits Company is branching out with a new gin dubbed Skeleton Spirit.
This new animated promo video from Human Being Productions tells the origin story for the forthcoming spirit, a light-blue variation on the company's flagship Shot Tower Gin that's been around since 2015.
While the Baltimore Spirits Company has put out a few versions of its famously Baltimore-made Epoch Rye, Nov. 1 will mark the first time it's released a new take on the botanical-infused booze that helped the firm launch four years ago.
"We wouldn't want to compete with Shot Tower Gin, so it had to be something remarkable, and completely different on the gin spectrum," Max Lents, the company's CEO, said in a statement. "We think everyone will want both."
Skeleton Spirit is 90 proof (45 percent ABV) and is made with juniper, eucalyptus, aloe vera and 11 other "secret ingredients," per a release. The color, seen above, is meant to "evoke an ethereal, otherworldly vibe."
Bottles will be available for $32.99 apiece at Maryland liquor stores starting next Friday. The company is planning to distribute Skeleton Spirit nationally sometime next year.
You can get first dibs on a taste at the Nov. 1 release party, which will double as the Baltimore Spirits Company's fourth-anniversary bash. It'll be at Union Collective and include cocktails and food from Phil Han's Sugarvale and Dooby's, respectively, plus live music from DJ Cian Noteman, a photo booth and a just-barely-post-Halloween costume contest. Details and tickets here.

Looks very interesting. Looking forward to tasting it.

Dubbed "the Jon Stewart of the Arab World," Bassem Youssef was the creator and host of the wildly popular TV show Al-Bernameg – the first political satire show in the Middle East and the most watched program in the region from 2011 to 2014 with 30 million viewers every week. In The Joke Is Mightier than the Sword, Youssef shares his personal story. Tickets for the event range from $39 to $79 plus applicable fees, and go on sale to the public at 10 a.m. on Friday, September 15.
Tickets will be available through the Kauffman Center Box Office at (816) 994-7222, via the Kauffman Center mobile app, or online at www.kauffmancenter.org.
ABOUT RUPI KAUR
Rupi Kaur published her first collection of poems, milk and honey, in 2014. The internationally acclaimed collection sold well over a million copies, gracing the New York Times bestsellers list every week for over a year. It has since been translated into more than 30 languages.
Kaur's long-awaited second collection, the sun and her flowers, will be released in October 2017. Through this collection Kaur continues to explore a variety of themes including love, loss, trauma, healing, femininity, migration and revolution. Divided into five chapters, the highly anticipated collection guides readers on a journey of wilting, falling, rooting, rising, and blooming in a celebration of love in all its forms.
ABOUT BASSEM YOUSSEF
Bassem Youssef was a practicing cardiothoracic surgeon in Egypt when he became the creator and host of popular TV show Al-Bernameg. Throughout its three seasons Al-Bernameg was controversial for its hilarious and bold criticism of ruling powers. Accused of insulting political leaders, Youssef was arrested and interrogated before being released on bail. During its final season, the show achieved unprecedented ratings before Youssef announced its termination due to overwhelming political pressures.
In The Joke Is Mightier than the Sword, Youssef shares his personal story and his thoughts on the political climate that led to the Arab Spring, and its parallels to the current state of American politics.

We've been talking about the Year of Mercy for months and we're finally ready to get started! If you're enrolled in Family Formation, you'll be getting an activity packet filled with mercy-related ideas, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. There are also many things (both new and ongoing) happening in parishes and dioceses around the world and it's our goal to make you aware of a few of them, especially those that are relevant to family life.
For now, let's begin at by stepping over the threshold to get on with this journey!
Holy Doors are an ancient Jubilee tradition that also carry a powerful spiritual boost. The first one opens in Rome on December 8th, but every bishop has been asked to designate a Holy Door in his diocese making it possible for all of us to take this initial step of trust in Jesus, our good shepherd. In the Archdiocese of St. Paul & Minneapolis this is a door at the Basilica of Saint Mary. Plan a mini pilgrimage there as part of your family's Advent activities!
The Holy Father has said that each holy door "will become a door of mercy through which anyone who enters will experience the love of God who consoles, pardons, and instills hope." It's hard to imagine a place with more practical opportunities for this pardon, hope, and consolation to happen than in each of our homes, so we hope you will also establish a Holy Door somewhere in your home. Post the banner from your packet over it as a reminder that your own "school of virtues" is the first and best place to practice God's mercy. This month especially, pray that everyone who enters your home will experience the love of God!

After Delhi gang-rape, India struggles to put words into action #Vaw

DELHI: A hundred days after India mourned the death of a gang-rape victim and vowed to fight sex crimes, the torn clothes and tears of Bharti Kagra bear testimony to a tide of violence that refuses to ebb.

Kagra is one of the 812 women whom police say have been molested in New Delhi since the death of the medical student, who was brutally assaulted by six attackers in a moving bus on December 16 last year.
The student died in a Singapore hospital on December 29. The savagery of the attack triggered nationwide protests, prompting lawmakers to toughen punishments for sexual offences and pledge to make India safer for women.
Optimists called it a "turning point", while Delhi's under-fire top police officer said his force had been "jolted" and would institute "major changes in the way offences against women are dealt with".
Kagra's experiences give reason to doubt whether the outpouring of anger from women across the country, many of whom took to the streets in some cities, will result in better protection.
Carrying the clothes she says were ripped by her husband and brother-in-law during an assault on her, she struggles to register a case at a south Delhi police station where no female officers are present – even though they are mandatory under the new anti-rape law.
"First, the men humiliated me and now when I come out to seek justice the cops insult me… some even suggested that I should make peace with my husband," she told AFP inside the police station in the Moti Bagh district of the capital.
In response to her shouts and cries, two policemen reluctantly register her complaint. Kagra allowed AFP to use her name, to publicise the problems women still face in registering such complaints.
Women currently make up only 6.5 per cent of India's police force and major recruitment changes will be needed to enforce the new sex crime law, which requires a female officer to record molestation and rape complaints.
This ruling risks going the way of so much legislation in India – well-meaning but mostly ignored in practice. Rights groups say real change will only come when widely held patriarchal and sexist attitudes change.
"I don't see enough initiative to change the mindset of the law enforcement agencies, especially the police," said Ranjana Kumari, director at the Centre for Social Research in New Delhi.
However, one consequence of the Delhi gang-rape is that women are more confident in reporting sex crimes, she says.
Delhi police reported a 148-per cent leap in rape cases lodged between January 1 and March 24 compared with the same period in 2012, and a 600-per cent rise in molestation cases reported up until April 3.
It's not just Indian women who have been targeted. A Swiss tourist was gang-raped last month while camping in central India, an offence that led to another flurry of negative headlines.
Many Western countries have warned female tourists to exercise caution in India, a move that has hit the tourism industry which earned over US$16 billion from foreign travellers in 2011.

Rapist in the family: The great Indian cover-up #Vaw

#Delhi rape #NewsTracker
"It is true, trust me," says Bina Jain, as she recounts one of the many incest cases she encountered in three decades of running Bapun Ghar, a women's shelter in central Delhi. "She is my fruit after all. So what if I tasted her?" was the justification the man gave to the gynecologist for impregnating his 16 year old daughter, says Jain.
Every year, she says, the shelter gets custody of roughly twenty girls and women abandoned by families. It is a grim reflection of the treatment given to rape victims who, in some cases, are described by the families as 'dirty' and 'untouchable'.
Jain rattles off cases where the rapist is the father, brother, uncle, tutor, neighbour – men known to the victim. In more than 90 percent of the rape cases booked across the country, the perpetrators are men known to the victim, according to National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) data.Lenient rape laws, pathetic policing, and politicians as rapists were discussed threadbare in the wake of the barbaric gangrape in the national capital past December. But the known devil, staring in the face of thousands of girls, was once again spared. And he always gets away with his crime as the girl is asked not to speak, for the family's honour, for what the father owes her, for better future of her siblings, for the tradition of submission, for the sake of being an Indian girl.
The overall conviction rate in rape cases in 2011, as per NCRB, was an abysmal 26.4 percent. Soumya Bhaumik, legal consultant, Centre for Social Research, Delhi, says the pressure on the victim from her family is one of the primary reasons for the low conviction rate. "It is common in urban and rural settings. Therefore, it is extremely courageous when in such cases a girl testifies in court," says Bhaumik, "As opposed to the cases when the family pressurises her or sweet talks her to withdraw the complaint."
A girl in certain social set-ups in India does not have to go further than her home where an all-pervasive devaluing of the girl begins from the day she is born. "It begins with the news of the baby girl being born. Everything else follows. Throughout her upbringing, she is considered dispensable. This is why no one stands up to protect her when she is in trouble. Even the best of the people in the society follows this dominant trend," says Akhila Sivadas, director, Centre for Advocacy & Research, Delhi.
As long as these dynamics will prevail, the victim will be expected to not only endure the crime but live in close proximity with the predator. The matter becomes a family secret. And the men in the garb of 'family' or 'friend' or 'neighbour' never feel guilty. In cases where the victims are firm about their decisions at the cost of 'bringing shame to the family', they face severe consequences. They are stigmatised. They are rejected. They are blamed for bringing disgrace to their families.
The decision whether to restore the victim to her family or not is often the biggest dilemma a practitioner of rehabilitation faces in such cases, says Dr Nimesh Desai, director, Institute of Human Behaviour & Allied Sciences, Delhi. "Ethically, we should bring the culprit to the book because we cannot become party to the cover- up. But there is always a hidden danger in convincing the victim to talk against the offender because ultimately the girl would go back the family and they might punish her for being courageous."
There are various reasons why a rape victim in India cannot look for refuge outside the family. One is that fact that the very notion of a girl moving out of the home and thereby detaching herself from 'relations' has a negative connotation in the Indian milieu, writes Sudhir Kakar, novelist and psychoanalyst, in The Times of India. While Kakar is commenting on the women who have migrated to big cities to work or study, it applies just as well to rape victims.
Another problem faced by the victims of sexual abuse and rape in India is the lack of knowledge about governmental support or resources available for rape victims. "There is immense recognition of what she goes through, but no reactionary or proactive mechanism to address the causes of the same. We lack a coherent governance framework which can address the why and how of the problem," says Sivadas.
For example, very few rape victims avail the compensation that they are entitled to from the state under the section 357A of the CrPC. Very few social welfare bodies are aware of the fact that the Centre has been delaying the implementation comprehensive rape victims' relief scheme that was drafted following by the National Commission for Women following a Supreme Court writ petition in 1994. According to the draft of the scheme, a rape victim is entitled to financial support of upto Rs 3 lakh and vocational training, jobs from the government.
There are no easy answers to addressing a crime committed by a family member. And the answers that could have come to help aren't out there known to people. There is no exposing of the great family cover- up anytime soon. And therefore continues a vicious cycle where the rape victim has no option other than to succumb to fate, tradition and family.


My 5th artwork and first post, any suggestions / improvements I can make?
Good job! You've got the major forms looking pretty good. The body should be thicker than the neck, though. Also, the strings need to go all the way to the tuning heads.
A couple of other things that would punch it up a little would be a bevel around the guitar body, and the back of the neck should be rounded rather than flat.


It's June and so it is time to assess how your annual writing goals are progressing. Use June Year's Eve to take stock of your accomplishments, reinvest in those goals that need more attention, and set yourself up for success in 2016.
To that end, I am re-posting a blog from June of 2015 and wishing you a Happy June Year's Eve!
In January, bubbly with champagne excitement and intoxicated by the shimmering crystal ball in Time's Square, we all set down our writing goals for the year. Since writers are ambitious dreamers, we probably set very lofty goals. To that I say, good for us! That drive and stamina to succeed will get our manuscripts published.
June marks the mid-year point and is an excellent time to track our progress and make sure we are well positioned for writing success. In June, writing goals and resolutions everywhere can be given a solid scrubbing, and REVISED for success. You set New Year's resolutions, now is the time for June Year's resolutions.
As writers, we are not only intimately aware of the power of revision, but we are also experts at revising. It is time to apply that skill not to our manuscripts, but to our writing goals. Read through your goals, keep what is working and toss those goals that just don't fit or make sense anymore. Maybe that middle grade novel whispered to you on a cold day in March (which frankly could have been any day in March since they were all cold) and you put aside your picture book plans. Perhaps you had a light bulb moment while attending a conference, reading a blog, or while brushing your teeth (true story, just ask Amanda!). Great! Time to make your writing goals match that reality.
I'd like to clink a glass with you on New Year's Eve in celebration of hitting our writing goals. The best way to make this happen is with a serious mid-year goal revision.
I took a peek at my 2016 writing goals and was thrilled to see that I am ahead on some of my benchmarks. For example, I've already hit my target goal for the number of workshops and conferences I had hoped to attend this year. Cue the big smile, the feeling of accomplishment, and the internal "you go girl". Then I noted some areas that I hadn't even realized were being neglected. I am way behind on writing query letters, and - what do you know - I had set a goal of revising a middle grade novel in progress. I had totally forgotten about that lofty goal. Lucky for me I celebrate June Year's Eve and can use the fizzy euphoria of this wonderful holiday to reinvest in my goals for the next six months of the year.
Pop some champagne and set yourself yp for writing success this year!
While the fresh-cut Christmas tree in my family room has gifts placed beneath it, the "extra" artificial tree in our sitting room sat barren for years. That is, until I started wrapping empty boxes and placing them under the branches. But those boxes are hardly empty to me. Every time I complete a manuscript, a new gift box is wrapped and labeled, as one main character bestows a gift upon another from the same story. And though I remain pre-published, this visual abundance of my accomplishments brings great joy each Christmas season. And I delight in wondering what might be placed inside each box if the characters actually gave out presents.
As we close this busy year with the busiest of months, let's take the time to count our blessings and abundances, lift a glass and toast our tenacity and dedication to our creative lives, and celebrate our loved ones and the avid supporters who have kept us on course.
24 Carrot Writing wishes you and yours peace and contentment as you tally your many achievements from 2015. We're honored that you have joined us for this journey, and we look forward to bringing you more writing support in 2016! Just imagine what we'll accomplish in the New Year…and we have a bonus day to boot! What will we do with it? The possibilities are endless!

Take a little more transit and eat a little less meat — two things you can do to reduce your environmental impact. In this installment of Meatless Mondays with Metro, we take the Blue Line to Sura Korean BBQ & Tofu House.
Sura is known for authentic Korean BBQ and spicy tofu soup, but they also serve Mexican fusion. For those of you who are skeptical about Korean Mexican fusion, don't be — the flavors really work. And even better, they have a dedicated vegan menu, and the vegan items are cooked in separate cookware.
The vegan shiitake 'shroom fries came highly recommended, and I quite enjoy the dwenjang jiigae (fermented soybean paste stew). Give the tofu K-tacos a try as well; even if you're leery of the idea of Korean flavored tofu tacos, it's just $3.50 for two tacos.
To get to Sura, take the Blue Line to 5th Street Station and walk about five minutes east on 6th Street. You can also take Long Beach Transit Line 61 to Atlantic at 6th St.


Grab the kids, the sun cream and the bucket and spade. DG11 3HD is never too far away that you should miss out on some family fun at the beach.
Luckily, we've got a list of the nearest beaches to DG11 3HD, so you can take your pick of the bunch!

If you would like to merge file, you would think that it is not so complicated especially if you are a Windows users. One of the reasons for this is that it is easy to manipulate files when you have Word or even Excel as your application for your office productivity activities. Now, how about if you are a Linux or UNIX user? What do you have to do in order for you to merge your documents successfully? You might have heard about the different tools that are available for use today. They are indeed useful because they make your tasks very easy. All you need to do is to provide the two files that you would like to compare and merge and then the software will perform the job for you. While it can be very simple, you may find that there are tools that are not really functional. Most will only waste your time and there are also some that will ask for your money and then you will not get the assistance that you need.
In order to prevent this kind of instance, you will need to check on the product first before you attempt to download or especially when you will purchase it. This is because there are so many bogus products out there that only have one goal and that is to deceive the buyers into trusting them so that they will have the money that they want. It pays to be so much careful these days. Now, what if you do not want to download any program into your computer? This is sensible because there are malicious files lurking around the Internet today. If this is your case, you might want to make use of the merge command in Linux or UNIX.
The merge command is often called the three way process of merging files. This is because you will need three files in order to merge the changes or modifications that you have made. This is great for those who are working on more than two sets of files since they can easily merge them immediately. The syntax for this is simple. You will only have to input this one: merge [ your preferred options ] file1 file2 file3. In the options part, you have five selections that you can choose from. These include inputting -A which denotes that you want to merge all the changes from file2 to file3 and then the results will go to file1. This will provide you with the most effusive product.
Another one is the label specifies that the labels should be used as a substitute for the file names that are found in the conflicting reports.
The merge command is often used together with the diff command which enables the users to compare two or more files in Linux or UNIX.

The home stadium for the Dynamo soccer club was reopened after a renovation of the building in 2012. To ensure that the soccer club will bring in a stable income for the future, the neighbouring property along the Petrowski Park was proposed to be developed into a multi-use residential, hotel and office complex. The historically significant palace grounds of the adjacent Petrowski Palace are characterized by a cover of mature trees, which were selected to be maintained and supplemented with new plantings. Newly grassed lawns and plant beds were laid in large curves with blossoming shrubs and hedges, which strengthen the theme of dynamic movement within the open spaces. To ensure optimal circulation to and from the stadium, the existing allées, walkways and foot paths were refurbished and expanded. Basketball courts, skating rinks and cafes were implemented to add additional sport and leisure activities within the park, giving it a year-round appeal. Hidden in a grass mound lies a further sports facility. The bordering newly-built urban multi-use complex is surrounded by street trees. Roof gardens, playgrounds and courtyards offer possibilities for relaxing and leisure conveniently at the doorstep.

Q: Writing an integer as a sum of two square in many ways, with consecutive arguments Let $n\in{\mathbb N}$. I call $n=x_1^2+y_1^2=x_2^2+y_2^2=\ldots x_r^2+y_r^2$
(where $(x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2),\ldots,(x_r,y_r)$ are distinct uples
in ${\mathbb N}^2$) a multi-decomposition of $n$, of length $r$. If the
$x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_r$ form an arithmetic progression of step $1$, I say
that the multi-decomposition is connected.
For example,
$$
1105=\left\lbrace\begin{array}{lcl}
31^2 &+& 12^2 \\
32^2 &+& 9^2 \\
33^2 &+& 4^2 \\
\end{array}\right.
$$
is a connected multi-decomposition (CMD in abbreviated notation) of length three
for $n=1105$.
With the help of my computer, I found out that for $n\leq 10^6$ there is
no CMD of length four, and the $n$'s having CMD of length three are exactly
the following : $$25, 1105, 12025, 21025, 66625, 252601, 292825, 751825.$$
My questions are :

*

*Are there CMD's with length larger than three ?

*Is there a simple description of all $n$'s having a CMD of length three ?

A: If $n=x^2+y^2$ holds for some $n,x,y\in\Bbb{N}$, then $n\not\equiv3\pmod4$ as squares are congruent to either $0$ or $1$ modulo $4$. First note that for a nontrivial CMD we must have $n\equiv1\pmod4$:

*

*If $n\equiv0\pmod4$ then we must have $x\equiv y\equiv0\pmod{2}$,
so there cannot be two consecutive $x_1,x_2\in\Bbb{N}$
with $n=x_1^2+y_1^2=x_2^2+y_2^2$.

*If $n\equiv2\pmod4$ then we must have $x\equiv y\equiv1\pmod{2}$,
so there cannot be two consecutive $x_1,x_2\in\Bbb{N}$
with $n=x_1^2+y_1^2=x_2^2+y_2^2$.
Now let $n=x_i^2+y_i^2$ for a CMD $\{(x_i,y_i)\mid\ i\in\{1,2,3,4\}\}$. Then $x_i\not\equiv y_i\pmod2$ for all $i$, and it is not hard to check that for all $i$
$$x_i\equiv0\pmod4\ \Rightarrow\ n\equiv1\pmod8,$$
$$x_i\equiv1\pmod4\ \Rightarrow\ n\equiv1,5\pmod8,$$
$$x_i\equiv2\pmod4\ \Rightarrow\ n\equiv5\pmod8,$$
$$x_i\equiv3\pmod4\ \Rightarrow\ n\equiv1,5\pmod8,$$
where the odd cases $x_i\equiv1,3\pmod4$ depend on whether $y_i\equiv0\pmod4$ or $y\equiv2\pmod4$. As we have four consecutive $x_i$, we have $n\equiv1\pmod8$ and $n\equiv5\pmod8$, a contradiction. So no CMD of length four (or greater) exists.

Perhaps this helps with your other question, on describing the integers $n$ having a CMD of length $3$:
There is a correspondence between integral points on the quadratic surface
$$y^2=2u^2-v^2-2,$$
and length three CMD's. The correspondence is $8$-to-$1$, which comes from the choices of signs for $y$, $u$ and $v$.  I don't exclude that some $n\in\Bbb{N}$ might have multiple length three CMD's.
Given a point $(y,u,v)$ on the surface, which is a two-sheeted hyperboloid, set
$$x:=\tfrac{1}{2}(y^2-u^2-1)=\tfrac{1}{4}(y^2-v^2-4).$$
Then it is a bit cumbersome to check that the pairs
$$\left(|x|,|y|\right),\ \left(|x|+1,|u|\right),\ (|x|+2,|v|),$$
form a CMD of length three. Conversely, given a CMD of length three $(x_1,y_1),\ (x_2,y_2),\ (x_3,y_3)$, it follows from the relations $x_1^2+y_1^2=x_2^2+y_2^2=x_3^2+y_3^2$ that
$$y_1^2-2x_1-1=y_2^2\qquad\text{ and }\qquad y_1^2-4x_1-4=y_3^2.$$
Solving both for $x_1$ and equating them shows that $(y_1,y_2,y_3)$ is an integral point on the curve.
The nice thing about quadratic surfaces is that if they have a rational point, then they have infinitely many rational points. Given an explicit point, all rational points can be parametrized explicitly. You've found the point $(y,u,v)=(4,3,0)$ on the surface. This gives us a parametrization by mapping $(\lambda:\mu:\nu)\in\Bbb{P}_{\Bbb{Q}}^2$ to
$$\left(4+4\frac{3\mu-2\lambda}{\lambda^2-2\mu^2-\nu^2}\lambda,3+4\frac{3\mu-2\lambda}{\lambda^2-2\mu^2-\nu^2}\mu,4\frac{3\mu-2\lambda}{\lambda^2-2\mu^2-\nu^2}\nu\right),$$
which is undefined only at the points $(3:2:\pm1)\in\Bbb{P}_{\Bbb{Q}}^1$. Then it remains to determine the integral points in this parametrization. We may take $\lambda,\mu,\nu\in\Bbb{Z}$ with $\gcd(\lambda,\mu,\nu)=1$. Then the integral points are the points for which
$$\lambda^2-2\mu^2-\nu^2\mid4(3\mu-2\lambda).$$

A: Although the answer is not quite on the topic.
$$x_1^2+y_1^2=x_2^2+y_2^2=x_3^2+y_3^2=x_4^2+y_4^2$$
For the equation is possible to write General standard formula - moreover it is symmetric.  Interestingly, so monjo to record for any number of summands.
$$x_1=(a^2+b^2)(t^2+k^2)(n^2+q^2)p$$
$$y_1=(a^2+b^2)(t^2+k^2)(n^2+q^2)s$$
$$x_2=(a^2+b^2)(n^2+q^2)(2tkp-(t^2-k^2)s)$$
$$y_2=(a^2+b^2)(n^2+q^2)((t^2-k^2)p+2tks)$$
$$x_3=(a^2+b^2)(t^2+k^2)(2nqp-(n^2-q^2)s)$$
$$y_3=(a^2+b^2)(t^2+k^2)((n^2-q^2)p+2nqs)$$
$$x_4=(t^2+k^2)(n^2+q^2)(2abp-(a^2-b^2)s)$$
$$y_4=(t^2+k^2)(n^2+q^2)((a^2-b^2)p+2abs)$$

A: If we use the system of equations:
$${\left( {p}_{2}\,{s}_{2}\,{t}_{2}+{p}_{1}\,{s}_{1}\,{t}_{2}+{p}_{1}\,{t}_{1}\,{s}_{2}-{s}_{1}\,{t}_{1}\,{p}_{2}\right) }^{2}+{\left( {p}_{1}\,{s}_{2}\,{t}_{2}-{s}_{1}\,{p}_{2}\,{t}_{2}-{t}_{1}\,{p}_{2}\,{s}_{2}-{p}_{1}\,{s}_{1}\,{t}_{1}\right) }^{2}=$$
$${\left( {p}_{2}\,{s}_{2}\,{t}_{2}+{p}_{1}\,{s}_{1}\,{t}_{2}-{p}_{1}\,{t}_{1}\,{s}_{2}+{s}_{1}\,{t}_{1}\,{p}_{2}\right) }^{2}+{\left( {p}_{1}\,{s}_{2}\,{t}_{2}-{s}_{1}\,{p}_{2}\,{t}_{2}+{t}_{1}\,{p}_{2}\,{s}_{2}+{p}_{1}\,{s}_{1}\,{t}_{1}\right) }^{2}=$$
$${\left( {p}_{2}\,{s}_{2}\,{t}_{2}-{p}_{1}\,{s}_{1}\,{t}_{2}+{p}_{1}\,{t}_{1}\,{s}_{2}+{s}_{1}\,{t}_{1}\,{p}_{2}\right) }^{2}+{\left( {p}_{1}\,{s}_{2}\,{t}_{2}+{s}_{1}\,{p}_{2}\,{t}_{2}-{t}_{1}\,{p}_{2}\,{s}_{2}+{p}_{1}\,{s}_{1}\,{t}_{1}\right) }^{2}=$$
$${\left( {p}_{2}\,{s}_{2}\,{t}_{2}-{p}_{1}\,{s}_{1}\,{t}_{2}-{p}_{1}\,{t}_{1}\,{s}_{2}-{s}_{1}\,{t}_{1}\,{p}_{2}\right) }^{2}+{\left( {p}_{1}\,{s}_{2}\,{t}_{2}+{s}_{1}\,{p}_{2}\,{t}_{2}+{t}_{1}\,{p}_{2}\,{s}_{2}-{p}_{1}\,{s}_{1}\,{t}_{1}\right) }^{2}=$$
$$=\left( {p}_{2}^{2}+{p}_{1}^{2}\right) \,\left( {s}_{2}^{2}+{s}_{1}^{2}\right) \,\left( {t}_{2}^{2}+{t}_{1}^{2}\right)$$
You can get a simple description of all n:
$$n=\frac{\left( {g}^{2}+{f}^{2}\right) \,\left( {t}^{2}+{p}^{2}\right) \,\left( 4\,{g}^{2}\,{t}^{2}+{f}^{2}\,{t}^{2}-4\,f\,g\,p\,t+{f}^{2}\,{p}^{2}\right) }{4\,{f}^{2}\,{t}^{2}\,{\left( g\,t-f\,p\right) }^{2}}$$
To know there are solutions with length larger than three
you need to consider a very large expressions such as
$${\small\left( {h}_{2}\,{p}_{2}\,{s}_{2}\,{t}_{2}-{h}_{1}\,{p}_{1}\,{s}_{2}\,{t}_{2}+{h}_{1}\,{s}_{1}\,{p}_{2}\,{t}_{2}+{p}_{1}\,{s}_{1}\,{h}_{2}\,{t}_{2}-{h}_{1}\,{t}_{1}\,{p}_{2}\,{s}_{2}-{p}_{1}\,{t}_{1}\,{h}_{2}\,{s}_{2}+{s}_{1}\,{t}_{1}\,{h}_{2}\,{p}_{2}-{h}_{1}\,{p}_{1}\,{s}_{1}\,{t}_{1}\right) }^{2}+$$
$${\small\left( {h}_{1}\,{p}_{2}\,{s}_{2}\,{t}_{2}+{p}_{1}\,{h}_{2}\,{s}_{2}\,{t}_{2}-{s}_{1}\,{h}_{2}\,{p}_{2}\,{t}_{2}+{h}_{1}\,{p}_{1}\,{s}_{1}\,{t}_{2}+{t}_{1}\,{h}_{2}\,{p}_{2}\,{s}_{2}-{h}_{1}\,{p}_{1}\,{t}_{1}\,{s}_{2}+{h}_{1}\,{s}_{1}\,{t}_{1}\,{p}_{2}+{p}_{1}\,{s}_{1}\,{t}_{1}\,{h}_{2}\right) }^{2}=$$
$$\small\left( {h}_{2}^{2}+{h}_{1}^{2}\right) \,\left( {p}_{2}^{2}+{p}_{1}^{2}\right) \,\left( {s}_{2}^{2}+{s}_{1}^{2}\right) \,\left( {t}_{2}^{2}+{t}_{1}^{2}\right)$$


University Hospitals (UH) opened the doors to a new model of care in the heart of Cleveland's MidTown neighborhood. The UH Rainbow Center for Women & Children is designed to provide community-centered care that addresses medical, social, and environmental factors influencing health – and to take a collaborative approach with patients and community stakeholders to address health disparities.
This healthcare service unlike any other delivered by an academic medical center welcomed its first patient, three-day-old Na'Tour Brown, and his family, pictured with Na'Tour's UH Rainbow pediatrician, Dr. Sarah Ronis.
Beyond traditional treatment and medical therapies, UH Rainbow Center for Women & Children aspires to improve the overall health and wellness of the Cleveland community. In addition to pediatric primary care and adolescent medicine, as well as pregnancy and gynecologic medical care for women, the Center will have community and educational areas for programs focused on prevention and total health needs in a convenient, one-stop location.
These programs include integrated mental and behavioral health services; dietitians and nutrition education; a full-service vision clinic from OneSight; dental screening and cleaning; legal services; and an on-site WIC office and pharmacy. To help determine the different types of resources to offer beyond traditional healthcare, and to incorporate community-centered design features in the building, UH launched a Community Advisory Board that includes more than 70 stakeholders representing 35 different organizations.
UH and the Community Advisory Board are collaborating with Dave's Supermarket, a family-owned and operated grocery chain in Cleveland, in its relocation to the neighborhood. When Dave's opens in 2019, area residents will have access to fresh, healthy and affordable food, as well as to a test kitchen that will offer UH patients, their families, and other community residents cooking classes.
One of the Center's goals is to decrease the infant mortality and pre-term birth rates in Cuyahoga County, both of which are among the highest in the nation. The Centering® model of group healthcare is a proven effective strategy, and UH's CenteringPregnancy has achieved positive results. In 2017, the program's pre-term birth rate was just 3.8 percent, compared with Cleveland's overall rate of 14.9 percent (according to March of Dimes) – the UH Rainbow Center for Women & Children will allow expansion of CenteringPregnancy and other evidence-based group care programs.
For its leadership, UH has received national recognition and grant funding to expand its group care model to obesity care, nutrition education, postpartum and breastfeeding support, and hypertension management. This team-based approach to medical visits will be routine at the UH Rainbow Center for Women & Children, bringing patients out of the exam room and into a setting where they can learn from their providers and each other.
Co-medical directors Aparna Bole, MD, FAAP, Division Chief of General Academic Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine at UH Rainbow; and Ann Konkoly, CNM,Medical Director of the Women's Health Center and midwife at UH MacDonald Women's Hospital, will lead the Center.
The 40,000-square-foot, three-story urban medical center is located two miles west of UH's main campus. It's the new home for two outpatient practices previously located on the first floor of UH Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital. Together these clinics log more than 45,000 patient visits per year, and are primary UH training sites for the next-generation of pediatric and OB/GYN clinicians.
Conveniently located near public transportation and with free parking, the Center will improve access to quality care for residents of Cleveland and surrounding communities. The freestanding facility is a national example of sustainable building best practices, designed for optimal environmental performance with special attention to energy efficiency and indoor air quality. An announcement about U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) status will be forthcoming after the building is fully operational.
The UH Rainbow Center for Women & Children, a $26 million capital project, was fully funded by generous support from donors, as well as New Markets Tax Credits.
UH's vision is "Advancing the science of health and the art of compassion," and its mission: "To Heal. To Teach. To Discover." Follow UH on Facebook @UniversityHospitals and Twitter @UHhospitals. For more information, go to UHhospitals.org.
