Q: Keep SensorEventListener during "standby" I'm building an app that needs to listen to the accelerometer all the time, even when the application is not in foreground.
(At this point, I want to clarify that this is not an app for Play Store. This is an app with a specific purpose for internal usage where battery drain is not much of a problem - Also, if anyone knows another way to check if the user is walking, please let me know either)
To achieve this, I created a BroadcastReceiver that listens to android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED and starts a service that registers the SensorEventListener. The service acquires a PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK and I was hoping that with this lock the SensorEventListener would still receive the onChange() callback, but that is not happening. However, with the FULL_WAKE_LOCK it works - but i do not want to keep the screen on and the user may also press the standby button...
In my debug sessions, I never saw the service being destroyed, therefore, the wake lock should never be released.
Here's the Service class that acquires the lock and registers the sensor:
public class WalkingDetectorService extends Service {

    private static PowerManager.WakeLock wakeLock = null;
    private static final String LOCK_TAG = "WALKING_DETECTOR";

    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        acquireLock(this);
    }

    @Override
    public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
            // started on boot from a BroadcastReceiver
        startMotionDetector(getApplication());
        return START_STICKY;
    }

    @Override
    public void onDestroy() {
        releaseLock();
        super.onDestroy();
    }

    private void startMotionDetector(Application application) {

        int sensitivityIdx = SettingsManager.getInt(application, SettingsManager.SETTING_SENSOR_SENSITIVITY);

        if (sensitivityIdx == -1) {
            sensitivityIdx = MotionSensor.DEFAULT_SENSITITY_IDX;
        }

        float fSens = MotionSensor.getSensivity(sensitivityIdx);

        //SensorEventListener is registered here. It is properly done. Only stops listen when screen goes off (by timeout or user pressing the standby button)
            MotionSensor.startMotionSensor(application, fSens);

    }

    public static synchronized void acquireLock(Context ctx) {
        if (wakeLock == null) {
            PowerManager mgr = (PowerManager) ctx.getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
            wakeLock = mgr.newWakeLock(PowerManager.FULL_WAKE_LOCK, LOCK_TAG);
            wakeLock.setReferenceCounted(true);
        }
        wakeLock.acquire();
    }

    public static synchronized void releaseLock() {
        if (wakeLock != null) {
            if (wakeLock.isHeld())
            {
                wakeLock.release();
            }
        }
    }
}

National Day Parade (NDP)-themed MRT trains
Four National Day Parade (NDP)-themed MRT trains were launched on Monday (Jul 17) morning to celebrate this year's National Day.
The trains will run on the North South-East West lines, the North-East Line, the Circle Line and the Downtown Line until Aug 27, said the Land Transport Authority (LTA).
Photos posted on Facebook by LTA showed the interior of a themed train decorated with logos highlighting this year's NDP theme One Nation Together. There are also images on the ceiling of fighter jets as well as fireworks on the walls.
The trains are a collaboration between LTA, SBS Transit and SMRT.
"The themed trains are part of LTA's efforts to celebrate National Day with the community while transforming our public transport for commuters to enjoy," LTA said on Facebook.
This year's parade will pay tribute to national servicemen as Singapore celebrates 50 years of National Service. It will feature the largest military tattoo performance in NDP history, a display of 300 unmanned drones and the signature bomb burst manoeuvre at the NDP aerial fly-past.

Q: Python gives a "Syntax Error" on "else:" My Error
Python throws a syntax error pointed at the last "e" of "else:", preceded by an if statement and inside a while loop.
My Objective
Test if certain parameters are true, if true then go to the beginning of the loop and if not true then perform certain statements and increment a value.
My Source Code
from random import randint

def returnDigRoot(num):
    digs = []
    while len(str(num)) != 1:
        num = str(num)
        for each in num:
            digs.append(each)
        num = int(num)
        digs = [int(i) for i in digs]
        num = sum(digs)
    return(num)
def rnum():
    return(randint(1,99999))
ran_nums = []
sols = []
it = 1

The problem area is here
while it <= 3:
    print("Generating numbers")
    current = randint(1,99999)
    print("randomly intializing the 'current' int value")
    print("testing if the digital root is greater than 6")
    if returnDigRoot(current) > 6:
        print("going back to start of loop")
        continue
    print("testing if it isnt")
    else:
        ran_nums.append(current)
        print("append 'current' to ran_nums")
        sols.append(returnDigRoot(current))
        print("appending its digital root to sols")
        it += 1
        print("incrementing the iterator variable")

My Research
I looked at many questions on StackOverflow and other sites and could not find a solution to my problem; most problems people had with else statements were related to tabbing errors, preceding errors (which I checked for), no preceding if statement, or multiple else statements.
Thanks in advance for any help.

A: print("testing if it isnt") needs to be indented. As it stands, your code doesn't really relate the if with the else because of the indentation. It's like writing something like this in C:
if(<condition>)
{
  <action>
}
prinf(...)
else
{
 <action>
}

Just align the print line with the rest of the code under the if statement.

A: The line:
print("testing if it isnt")

isn't indented correctly.  You can't have anything in between an if block and the else block.

A: Your statement:
print("testing if it isnt")

is indented to the wrong level; that makes the else: that follows an independent statement, which is syntactically wrong.  Probably you meant that print statement to follow the else and be indented one level.

A: This is most likely a indentation/space/tabbing issue since I copy pasted the code and I don't get any errors. Though I am on Python 2.7.10. (Repasting it here to ensure you can copy paste the same and try):
from random import randint

def returnDigRoot(num):
    digs = []
    while len(str(num)) != 1:
        num = str(num)
        for each in num:
            digs.append(each)
        num = int(num)
        digs = [int(i) for i in digs]
        num = sum(digs)

    return(num)
def rnum():
    return(randint(1,99999))
ran_nums = []
sols = []
it = 1

while it <= 3:
    current = randint(1,99999)
    if returnDigRoot(current) > 6:
        continue
    else: # this is where the error is pointed
        ran_nums.append(current)
        sols.append(returnDigRoot(current))
        it += 1

On an unrelated note, that while loop will take a long time to exit since the exit criteria is very small (two current <=36 only will cause exit).

Argentina: From Bad to Worse?
By Arturo C. Porzecanski*
Argentina's new Economy Minister, Silvina Batakis / Government of Argentina / Creative Commons license
Argentina's mismanagement of fiscal, monetary, and exchange-rate policies – and its business-unfriendly, interventionist policies destructive of investor confidence – have delivered an increasingly unpopular mix of economic stagnation and accelerating inflation. While the government most likely will muddle through until the next national elections in October 2023, there is a non-negligible risk that remaining public confidence could collapse and lead to uncontrolled inflation, deepening recession, social unrest, and even the resignation of President Alberto Fernández.
By early 2021, the Argentine economy had already recovered from the 15 percent drop in real GDP caused by the pandemic in the second quarter of 2020. That was a relatively easy feat because the economy was already in a recession; real GDP in the first quarter of 2020 stood 11 percent below that in the fourth quarter of 2017. So far this year, the pace of economic activity has remained below that 2017 peak, and it has started to drop some more, with the latest consensus forecast projecting GDP declines in the second and third quarters, followed by stagnation in the fourth trimester.
Inflation has accelerated from a yearly average pace of under 50 percent in 2020 and 2021 to an annualized rate of 85 percent in the first half of this year. This month's inflation rate may well have three digits once annualized. To slow down inflation, the government has resorted to price controls on staples sold by supermarkets; import and capital controls to prevent the currency from devaluing faster; export quotas on beef, corn, and wheat to keep domestic supplies higher and prices lower; and hefty subsidies to state-owned and private companies that supply electricity, gasoline, natural gas, mass transit, and water and sewer services to consumers. As a result, the headline inflation rate is underestimated by at least 10 percentage points, while the subsidies are keeping the fiscal deficit about 4 percent of GDP wider than otherwise.
By now Argentina wasn't supposed to be in such lamentable economic shape. Barely four months ago, the government and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) completed negotiations on a $44 billion loan under an Extended Fund Facility (EFF). The country was granted an up-front disbursement of almost $10 billion, plus $4 billion more in late June.
The IMF program has three main targets for this year. The first is a modestly narrower fiscal deficit – 2.5 percent of GDP rather than last year's 3 percent (measured excluding interest payments on the public debt). The second calls for a nearly $6 billion accumulation of central bank net international reserves, which would take the year-end total to over $8 billion. And the third requires a reduction in central bank financing of the government's budget deficit, to the equivalent of 1 percent of GDP from 3.7 percent in 2021.
The program's rather modest fiscal and monetary objectives are based on optimistic assumptions, however, and its structural reforms fall way short of what is required to spark confidence and a sustainable economic recovery. Populist economic measures – advocated mainly by the Peronist faction led by Vice President Cristina Kirchner – have greatly harmed the country's business and investment climate.
It is an open secret in Argentina that the main purpose of the IMF loan is really to help the government avoid defaulting on the $44 billion the Fund previously loaned (in 2018-19) to President Mauricio Macri's administration. That loan is scheduled for repayment in full between September 2021 and mid-2024, and the present government had made it plain to the IMF that it had no means to do so absent a reprofiling or a quid pro quo. Therefore, in Argentina, the new IMF loan is widely understood to be a fig leaf over what is an indirect debt rescheduling on an installment plan – and it is characterized as a debt refinancing by the government itself.
Even the mild conditionality attached to the new IMF loan has already proven difficult to meet and has claimed its first significant victim –Economy Minister and Fernández ally Martín Guzmán resigned on July 2. His replacement is Silvina Batakis, a heterodox Peronist economist handpicked by Cristina Kirchner.
All indications are that the government missed the IMF targets for end-June, especially once discounting any window dressing, and that, failing to take restrictive fiscal and monetary measures soon, it will miss the goals for the full year. Argentina's financial markets have been reacting badly. The stock market index has been trailing far behind inflation; the government's dollar-denominated bonds have plunged to distressed levels, mostly below 25 cents on the dollar; and the Argentine peso, whose value is set artificially by the central bank under a rationing system, trades in parallel (but legal) and black markets at less than half its official value.
Social and political tensions are on the rise, largely because wages and pensions are incapable of keeping up with inflation. On July 9, Independence Day celebrations were marred by nationwide protests against the government, though at least they were peaceful. On July 13, farmers staged a one-day strike to complain against punishing taxes, damaging currency controls, and a scarcity of diesel fuel that has hit them during the harvest season. New Economy Minister Batakis will need to walk a fine line between introducing unpopular corrective measures to break the inflation spiral – restrictive fiscal and monetary policies, in particular – and pleasing political masters who seem to be persuaded that a muddling-through scenario of tightening controls and ignoring market realities is still viable. A miscalculation could lead to triple-digit inflation, widespread social unrest, and the early exit of President Alberto Fernández.

How Welsh language and culture play a crucial role in dementia care at this home
We visited Bryn Seiont Newydd in Caernarfon to see the impact Welsh has on staff, residents and family members
Branwen JonesCommunity Reporter
Relatives and staff at a home for people with dementia have spoken of the crucial role played by the Welsh language in the care given to residents.
Bryn Seiont Newydd in Caernarfon is home to 107 residents and employs 220 staff, many of whom are Welsh speakers.
Manager Sandra Evans said the language plays a big part in the care offered to residents, who can often communicate better in their first language.
"Three months ago, the amount of Welsh speaking staff was 85%," she said.
"Recently, it has reached an impressive 90% since we've hired 25 additional staff members.
"We don't make a conscientious effort to appoint staff members that are able to speak Welsh, but we have found that employing local staff means that Welsh is spoken and used often here.

"We have come to realise that it is important, because people with dementia can communicate better in their first language.
"We had one woman who was born here but lived in Cardiff all her life. When she was diagnosed with dementia, she wanted to go to a care home in North Wales because of the strong Welsh-speaking community of Gwynedd that she was brought up with, and wanted to use the Welsh language on a daily basis."
Poet and musician Gwyneth Glyn spent time at Bryn Seiont Newydd researching for her Welsh-language play Ŵy, Chips a Nain (Eggs, Chips and Grandma), which received rave reviews for its portrayal of dementia, as seen through the eyes of a young grandson.
The £15m care home set to create 150 jobs gets go-ahead
The play garnered such a positive reaction that Parc Pendine, which runs the care home, won an Arts & Business Cymru award.
Mario Kreft, proprietor of Parc Pendine, said: "The fact that the play was in the Welsh language was important because we have seen the difference it makes when care is provided in a person's mother tongue.
"The importance of the Welsh language and culture is reflected in our enrichment programme."

Of the care home's residents, around 85 identify themselves as Welsh speakers.
One of them is Gwyn Jones, who has lived at Bryn Seiont Newydd for a few months.
Jean, his wife of 56 years, has seen the positive impact the Welsh language has on residents, especially through the home's music and art programme.
She said: "We come from a very strong Welsh-speaking household.

"Both our childhoods were traditionally Welsh, we talk Welsh to one another, and we brought up our two children in the Welsh language."
Mr Jones added: "We always speak Welsh to each other all day and every day. We rarely use English."
Family members and friends are able to visit the care home on a daily basis, and can enjoy the music sessions alongside their loved ones.
"We both used to attend chapel and we would sing there," said Mrs Jones.

"Now, during these music sessions, the hymns that are played will often be familiar to Gwyn.
"It's so nice to see because it indicates he feels at home here, and that is reassuring for me."
Nia Davies Williams, who lives in Caernarfon, is the care home's resident musician.
She is responsible for hosting music sessions at the home and often performs with a piano or harp for the residents.
Dementia centre on 'green wedge' can create 150 jobs
"I have been playing the harp and piano ever since I was a child, and back then I would perform at care homes," she said.
"I've had such an interest in it, so much so that I wrote a dissertation focusing on music and dementia.
"It has always been nice to see the impact music has on certain people. At times, it calms the restless, and other times it seems to stimulate those that are feeling a little flat.
"Even now, I find it the best way to communicate with people. Sometimes, it can be the only way to communicate with them."
Every song Ms Williams chooses to perform has a "significant" reason behind it, whether it's the iconic Calon Lân or the traditional Welsh folk song Ar Lan Y Môr.

She said: "Music often takes that individual back to a certain time in their lives.
"Take the song Calon Lân for example: the residents at this home would have probably sung that song in chapel, or at school, down at the pub or during a rugby match.
"The songs that I choose to sing always have to have a purpose and must engage with the residents, because I want to find that person behind the dementia.
"It's all about connecting, which at times can be challenging, but it is rewarding once you tap into that individual's personality.
Meet the Dutch couple who loved their North Wales honeymoon B&B so much that they bought it
"The Welsh language is important here because, for the majority of the residents, it is their native language.
"The language has been there since birth and that is down to the hymns, songs and nursery rhymes they used to sing as children.
"Music and language are connected and the results are so positive to see.
"It makes this place more homely, and a community within a community, which brings everyone together. But more importantly, it allows the residents to express themselves in different ways."
Meical John, who is a care practitioner, has been at Bryn Seiont Newydd since 2015 - the year it opened - and has seen the benefit of music and language on the residents.

He said: "It's all about communication here, whether it is having a conversation or through music, even when there is no direct communication.
"For example, this one time, we had a resident who didn't speak at all.
"A few staff members would speak English and he would do nothing. But, when others would speak Welsh, he seemed to be captivated by what they said and would listen.
"When they can talk, I always think it is best for them to lead the conversation. That's when you really get to know them, their personalities and their stories. Through that, I get some enjoyment in my work because I get to know them as individuals.
"Often, using the Welsh language does take them back to their childhood. Other times though, it is obvious that that is what they are used to.
"The Welsh language, in a way, is their familiarity, it's their safe space, it's their home."

Borat Subsequent Moviefilm review – cinema's top troll goes baiting in Trump's US
The gloves – and other items of clothing – are off as Sacha Baron Cohen unleashes a stateside stunt spree and political satire fest

Borat's first visit to the US happened in that impossibly distant, innocent time – 2006 – before social media, before smartphones, before the Iraq war "troop surge" when George W Bush was the most awful president imaginable.
America was hardly unused to being pranked: it had invented Candid Camera. But Sacha Baron Cohen's monstrous creation, the clueless reporter from Kazakhstan with a daft all-purpose Soviet accent, was a next-level ordeal for his victims. With breathtaking ruthlessness, Baron Cohen executed situationist stunts and gross out hoaxes that skewered Americans' conservative attitudes, but also their painfully polite need to be nice, and to overlook (or maybe secretly sympathise with) Borat's antediluvian views. Borat is an antisemite, and the liberal moviegoing fanbase was, and is, very unused to seeing antisemitism in any costume other than that of Nazi Germany.
Now Baron Cohen has resurrected his awful creation for another go-around, and the shock of the new is gone, and so the shock generally. The routine is more familiar and the semi-staged stunts – which faintly undermine the credibility of all but the most spectacular moments – are more conspicuous. But there are still some real laughs and pointed political moments on the subject of antisemitism and online Holocaust denial (though I was disappointed to see the film go along with a dodgy "Karen" gag). And that finale in a hotel suite, when Borat and his teenage daughter Tutar confront a certain very prominent ex-politician who appears on the verge of a serious indiscretion … well, that is an amazing coup.
To get around the fact that everyone now recognises Borat, the idea is that he will mostly be in disguise and a lot of the pranks are effectively carried out by Tutar, whom he has brought along as a sexual gift to a senior government politician – a diplomatic gesture that he hopes will restore his homeland's alpha male reputation in America's eyes. Tutar, played by the 24-year-old Bulgarian actor Maria Bakalova, is a feral figure at first, content to be kept like an animal, but with dreams of becoming a conjugal success story in the US like her heroine, the Slovenian Melania. There is a clever mock-Disney Beauty-and-the-Beast-type animation about Melania that Tutar obsessively watches.
So Borat and Tutar blunder around the US, with the father transporting the daughter around in a horsebox that he tows behind his car, getting advice on how Tutar can be an aspirational young woman. There are some gobsmackingly horrible moments, especially at something called the Macon debutante ball in Georgia, enjoyed by the cream of southern society, where there is a traditional father-daughter dance. The result is gruesome.
Stinging stuff ... Borat Subsequent Moviefilm. Photograph: Amazon Studios
But at this ball, almost accidentally, the film reveals something about the attitudes of the people it is satirising. Borat earnestly asks one of the snowy-haired, be-tuxed patriarchs how much he thinks Tutar is worth. About $500, the man smirks, and is coldly rebuked by his own daughter. At some level, some victims sort-of do get it and go along with it. Often, even when they don't, they have a need not to embarrass poor Borat. It's like a Stanford prison experiment that doesn't prove quite as much as it thinks it does.
Borat is now encountering America in the age of Donald Trump, of course, and some of the film's best moments come when it is exposing complacency and credulity on the subject of Covid-19. It is almost compulsory now to say that Trump has rendered satire futile, but perhaps it is truer to say that Borat was a fake-news pioneer of trolling and outrageousness, and Trump's electoral success was basically a trolling of the Democrats and the progressives. Trump was the custard pie in the face of received wisdom and authority: an unthinkable public humiliation for the establishment, but Borat had already lowered the thinkability-threshhold.
The film concludes on a note of seriousness, telling the public to vote. Maybe Borat and Tutar's extraordinary finale in the hotel suite really will help swing it for Joe Biden. Or perhaps it is more that a Democratic victory will be down to exhaustion, and the joke overstaying its welcome. Trump's supporters, like Borat's, may be wondering if the thrill is gone.
Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan is on Amazon Prime Video from 23 October.

Q: building an donor attribution program in R My non-profit is working to understand the value of different fundraising campaigns.
I have data that looks like this:
donor <- data.frame(
                    donor_names=c("Donor1","Donor1","Donor2","Donor3","Donor3"),
                    donor_id=c("0A1","0A1","0A2","0A3","0A3"),
                    amount=c(500,400,300,250,100),
                    date=c("1/5/2012","11/10/2011","1/4/2012","1/14/2012","1/10/2012"),
                    campaign=c("grassroots","2012-annual appeal","grassroots","grassroots","Jan10 Auction"),
                    stringsAsFactors=FALSE
                   )

donor$date <- as.Date(donor$date,format="%m/%d/%Y")

  donor_names donor_id amount       date           campaign
1      Donor1      0A1    500 2012-01-05         grassroots
2      Donor1      0A1    400 2011-11-10 2012-annual appeal
3      Donor2      0A2    300 2012-01-04         grassroots
4      Donor3      0A3    250 2012-01-14         grassroots
5      Donor3      0A3    100 2012-01-10      Jan10 Auction

I need to see how much of donations can be attributed to each campaign given that all future contributions of a donor can be attributed the campaign that they first donated to.
An end result would return "2012-annual appeal" with 900, "grassroots" with 300, and "Jan10 Auction" with 350.
Thank you in advance.

A: library("plyr")

ddply(ddply(donor,
            .(donor_names),
            summarize,
            amount = sum(amount),
            campaign = campaign[date == min(date)]),
      .(campaign),
      summarize,
      amount = sum(amount))

which gives
            campaign amount
1 2012-annual appeal    900
2         grassroots    300
3      Jan10 Auction    350

Ranea - the part-Raksuran, part-Fell queen who formed the plot against the Court of Indigo Cloud, and who led the attack on the old eastern colony. The harshness of her upbringing among the Fell made her cruel even to the rulers and they did not obey her easily.

An important order on behalf of CERN – European Organization for Nuclear Research in Geneva for the construction of a plant had been acquired. The order foresees by the end of June 2017 the delivery of a plating plant to be installed in the new C107 building which is located on the Swiss part of CERN.
The up to now executed preliminary work had been a huge enrichment to those Galvo Service's technicians who collaborated and will collaborate with Europe's, if not even with the world's, best experts in the field of heat and plating treatments materials.
Any Galvo Service customer and supplier may benefit of these important experiences and experiments that will be performed during this project, exactly as it is stated in CERN's philosophy.


An incredibly large shipment of plastic rice was confiscated by Nigerian customs officers, preventing a potentially horrific health crisis had they made their way into the food supply.
"Only God knows what would have happened" if people ate the fake rice, said Lagos customs chief Haruna Mamudu.
Sickeningly, the plastic looks and feels like real rice. It even seems like rice when it's cooked, as it gets soft and sticky.
There is a slight difference, in that it gives off a slight chemical smell and becomes excessively sticky, but not different enough to guarantee it would have been caught by every restaurant or consumer it passed hands through.
Each of the 102 sacks contained 55 lbs of plastic rice and were branded "Best Tomato Rice." It is unknown whether any of the plastic already made its way into the food supply and the origins of the shipment are unknown.
Finding this, potentially, deadly shipment of plastic posing as food is a huge win for the people of Nigeria. It is not the first time plastic has been posed as food, as a similar counterfeit product was uncovered in China last year.

Digital currencies have a lifespan of approximately 20 years, after which point they hold negligible utility or value. When assessing the lifespan of a digital currency, it is often forgotten that the asset is both a unit of financial payment value and at the same time an exponentially depreciating piece of software code. This status, as an organically-inflatable currency asset and as a rapidly-depreciating technology, is inherently a paradoxical one. Therefore, there is a conflict of progressive-regressive price behaviour occurring throughout the lifetime of a digital currency.
Logarithmically decreasing supply increases by reducing mining rewards over time helps to emphasize the price performance of the asset over the long term, but doing so in a linear fashion also reduces the growth in the number of potential participants on the digital asset's network, thereby weakening the software's network value proposition, and hence, its de facto utility as a currency. In this way, purely linear reductions in supply increases over time ultimately serve to rapidly enforce the asset's decay and undermine the durability of its reflective value, especially toward the end of its lifespan. Consequently, such logarithmic mathematics may also overemphasize cost during the middle of the asset's life, making for extremely volatile and unpredictable price moves.
There is another solution to the logarithmic decrease in supply increases that was first proposed by Satoshi Nakomoto in his 2009 White Paper, however. That alternative is one whereby supply increases are somehow graduated across the asset's lifetime so that the digital software goes through a series of maturity processes whereby the supply output is differentiated across a hypothetical variable of half-decade periods. In such a scenario, it is not simply a case of gradually producing less of a particular digital asset as net supply is increased, but rather, increasing and then decreasing, and finally, re-increasing mining rewards so that throughout the mining period that the digital asset is exposed to there is always at all times a genuine alternative variable that keeps expanding the asset's value network. So far, no one seems to have noticed the extremely detrimental way in which mining rewards are stacked against time, condemning the value network produced so rapidly in the asset's early years to a premature and sudden death.
Evidence of this can be found everywhere however, from the sharp rise in 50%+1 attacks that have been occurring in Proof-of-Work (PoW) coins, to the rapid adoption and migration of entire communities pretty much en masse to splinter variations of Blockchains that offer superior mining rewards to the new adopter communities.
The situation has in fact gotten so out of hand that it is now estimated that up to 90% of all assets on cryptocurrency exchanges are not cryptocurrencies at all, but virtually-represented proxies with no underlying asset representing their real nature as Blockchain coins or utility tokens.
The false production of assets on crypto exchanges is a direct result of inadequate mining algorithms that are simply not producing enough continuous supply in the form of mining rewards to satisfy a growing trading climate. This has the effect of merely re-centralising all the previously decentralised growth that was directly responsible for making the cryptocurrency scene so appealing to so many all across the world.
But according to the entrepreneur there are other ways, too.
later this year, he added.


Java champion Adam Bien discusses Lambda and the reasons not to fear the move to Java 8.
In this interview with Java Champion Adam Bien, recorded at JavaOne 2013, we get Bien's take on what he sees as being the most useful new features that are packaged in Java EE 7. We also garner Adam's insights on how he feels about the changes coming in Java 8 and how he eases the minds of software developers who are a little bit intimidated by all of the language changes that come packaged with Java 8's Project Lambda.

Your company blog should be a place your customers and potential customers can come for information, answers to questions, and maybe a little entertainment.
Making your blog a customer service channel is easier than you think – all you have to do is create content that answers specific questions your customers might have about using your service or product.
Sure, a well-written FAQ page can cover most of these questions in reasonable depth, but not in the way a blog post can. When you make your blog a customer service channel, you create content about your product or service that is both detailed and easy to digest.
Making your blog a customer service channel starts with finding out which questions your customers have about using or making the most of your product.
What do your customers want to know about your product?
Before you can design content to answer questions, you have to know what questions are already on the minds of your customers. Your past customer service inquiries are a great place to start. Check past emails, website form submissions, and social media messages and mentions to see which questions your customers most commonly have about using your product.
Then, go a little deeper. Think about your product or service as a new prospect might. Write down all the questions you'd have – even the ones that seem trivial or basic.
Answering these questions in blog post form can drive considerable traffic to your website and help you become an online authority on that topic in addition to providing your existing customers with an additional channel to get help or answers.
This approach can be really helpful on days when content creation is difficult – there's always a basic how-to or feature description to write!
While making your blog a customer service channel covers many of the questions a customer might have about using your service or product, there will always be scenarios where a customer will need additional support from a live human being instead of a blog post. You should provide easy avenues to additional support in your blog posts and throughout your website to make it simple for customers to get the help they need without searching around or losing interest and leaving.
You can add live chat support pop-out options on the edges of your page to provide an additional customer service channel. Make sure your company phone number, help desk (if applicable) number, address, email address, and FAQ page are easily reached from every part of your website.
Making your blog a customer service channel is a smart technique that not only helps customers get answers without having to directly contact customer service, but also helps you improve your site's SEO and drive new, targeted traffic to your blog. Start turning your readers into customers by answering both in-depth and basic questions about your product, service, and industry on your blog!
How Does Live Chat Support Work?


Each year, Carnegie Science Center's Carnegie Science Awards recognizes and celebrates innovative and inspiring leaders in western Pennsylvania who are on the cutting edge of the science and technology industries. At a private reception at the Science Center on March 12, 2019, officials announced that Community College of Beaver County High School Academies will receive a Carnegie Science Award in the Leadership in STEM Education category.
Winners of Carnegie Science Awards, presented by Eaton, were selected by a committee of peers—past awardees and industry leaders—who rigorously reviewed nominations and selected the most deserving winners. This year, the program will honor awardees in categories ranging from Corporate Innovation, Start-Up Entrepreneur, Environmental, Science Communicator, and several educator and student categories. In addition, a Chairman's Award is presented to an individual or an organization that has made outstanding contributions in science, either through exemplary work in one field or through transcendent leadership, commitment, or achievement.
The High School Academies at the Community College of Beaver County is a nationally-recognized dual enrollment program that places high school students on guided pathways to high-demand STEM career fields. First launched in 2015, the program educates students from 57 school districts in Western Pennsylvania in four areas of study: Aviation, Health, STEM, and Criminal Justice. High school juniors and seniors in the program receive hands-on instruction from college faculty in labs and classroom environments while acquiring critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Through partnerships with more than 600 four-year college programs, many academy graduates go on to complete a bachelor's degree in three years or less.
In addition to the winners and honorable mentions announced on March 12, three student winners will be selected at Carnegie Science Center's 80th annual Covestro Pittsburgh Regional Science & Engineering Fair later this month.
The Carnegie Science Awards Celebration on May 10 will feature a strolling dinner, silent auction, and awards presentation full of inspiring stories about the region's top minds in science, technology, research, and education. As Carnegie Science Center's signature celebration of innovation and annual fundraiser, the event attracts 500 business, medical, academic, and community influencers from across the region, and raises funds to support education programs that nurture the next generation of science and technology leaders. For more information about the awards celebration, go to www.CarnegieScienceCenter.org/ScienceAwards.
Please note that requests for accommodations should be made at least two weeks prior to your visit. For specific questions about wheelchairs, strollers, or other programmatic or equipment needs, see the ticket counter located on the first floor of the main building or contact Customer Service at 412.237.1641 orinfo@carnegiesciencecenter.org. Please contact Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh's Accessibility Coordinator with concerns regarding accessibility for visitors with disabilities at the museums. On weekdays, call 412.622.6578 or email accessibility@carnegiemuseums.org.


Want to grow your customer base? Customers are the lifeblood of any business, so it's vital you can keep generating leads and retaining your existing customers.
But doing so is often a concern for businesses, with more than one in three companies saying that generating new business is their biggest worry.
We spoke to Mike Cockburn, managing director at positive psychology coaching company Sogno, and asked him to share his experiences of growing his customer base.
Understanding your customers' needs can lead to better insights into your audience and allows you to develop services that are matched to your clients' needs. It can also help you stand out from your competitors.
In simple terms, there are two ways to get more business: win new business and get your existing customers to spend more. It's important to ensure you don't focus on one at the expense of the other, as both are important for growing your customer base.
Mike says: "We do have a lot of repeat business and feel we offer the most value with long-term clients. But you need to keep bringing in new business too.
"Old business can falter if budgets change or people move on, so it's important to look for new opportunities.
To keep your existing customers coming back, it's important you offer great customer service. In fact, research shows 78% of people have walked away from a sale as a result of poor customer service.
But if you get it right, it has a positive impact on your customer base and your bottom line. Loyal customers are worth up to 10 times the amount they originally spend.
Take the time out to evaluate your customer service, make sure you respond to your customers quickly and keep an eye on social media so you can offer great service online too.
Your customer numbers should grow as a result.
Ask a business owner where their customers come from and most will tell you that word of mouth is their main source.
"I think people sometimes equate networking with sales and prospects can be sensitive to a sales approach," he adds. "But if you recognise that only so many contacts will go on to be clients, then it reduces the pressure.
By partnering with other firms that offer complementary services, you can not only reach a new audience but also potentially offer more to your customers.
But many small companies find it intimidating to make contact. Mike has a range of big clients, from Greggs to Kia, and says it's worthwhile approaching large businesses.
He says: "Our success with clients goes back to developing a network of long-term connections. But small businesses now have more opportunities to work with big clients.
It's definitely worth testing a range of marketing approaches and seeing what works. But remember every business is different, so you may find that some approaches don't work. Don't be afraid to drop these.
Mike agrees that you need to focus on what works for your business.
It's important to keep trying new ways of reaching your audience and don't automatically reject things that might not have worked in the past.

World Hydrography Day is celebrated every on 21 June, with the aim of giving suitable publicity to its work at all levels and of increasing the coverage of hydrographic information on a global basis, and urges all States to work with that organization to promote safe navigation, especially in the areas of international navigation, ports and where there are vulnerable or protected marine areas.
In 2005, the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) adopted Resolution A/60/30 on oceans and law of the sea, which in particular welcomed the adoption by the IHO of the World Hydrography Day, with the aim of giving suitable publicity to its work at all levels and of increasing the coverage of hydrographic information on a global basis.
The Resolution urged all States to work with the IHO to promote safe navigation, especially in the areas of international navigation, ports and where there are vulnerable or protected marine areas. As a result, on the 21st of June each year the IHO celebrates World Hydrography Day. World Hydrography Day is an opportunity to increase public awareness of the vital role that hydrography plays in everyone's lives.
The theme for 2018 is "Bathymetry – the foundation for sustainable seas, oceans and waterways".

Dodge cleverly, utilized the resources of its parent company DaimlerChrysler and they have produced optional traditional passenger vans, which set them apart from the competition! By comparison, the Sprinter 3500 offers improved passenger comfort, as well as user-friendly driving dynamics.
Adding to model flexibility, it is available in various configurations and enables meeting a variety of particular needs. If you are seeking prestige with appearance, you could be disappointed with this box-style van. However, if you're seeking a reliable, spacious workhorse, then the upright and narrow style of the Dodge Sprinter 3500 vans with their almost flat interior sidewalls, provide impressive cargo capabilities.
How the Dodge Sprinter 3500 Meets Your Applications
This Sprinter offers easy motoring and cargo carrying convenience and load-type flexibility. In addition, it's easily maneuvered when driving in the city or urban areas. The overall performance of the vehicles is heightened by a selection of wheelbase lengths, and a choice of two roof heights. High-roof Dodge Sprinter 3500 enable owners to be upright inside the vans, which assists when loading or unloading equipment or passengers. For family-oriented usage, their vans can be converted into a camping vehicle designed to meet their specific requirements.
Performance-wise, the Dodge Sprinter 3500 offers an inline; five-cylinder 2.7 L turbo-diesel engine. It has a rating of 154 horsepower generating 243 lb-ft of torque. With a 5-speed automatic transmission fitted as standard, power is driven to the rear wheels. Overall operating costs limited by extended maintenance intervals and a reported fuel efficiency average of 9.41 L/100 km. Regarding the towing aspect, with the correct accessories, the 3500 Sprinter has a towing capacity of reportedly over 2267 kilograms.
Taking the various aspects into account, the flexibility, the spacious cargo and passenger options offered by the Dodge Sprinter 3500 vans for business cargo, family and passenger applications, make this van a practical consideration!

The Future of Healthcare: Personalize My Benefits — Please!
The Future of Healthcare: Google-ize My Benefits — Please!
Your business adapts and evolves with the times. You stay as agile as possible in order to stay relevant and competitive in your industry.
So why is your health plan stuck in the past and not personalized as it should be?
Today's healthcare model is, well, outdated to say the least. It hasn't evolved in years, though your workforce's needs, expectations, and wants sure have. It's not in tune with what employees want. You know it. Your employees know it.
Today's employees want greater decision-making freedom. They've grown used to instant gratification. And they demand personalization. How can you adapt your employer provided benefits strategy to meet these evolving demands?
Though we're not there yet, we expect the benefits plans of the future to be data driven, using a variety of tools such as wearables, mobile technology, genetic testing, and more. HR will also focus more heavily on predictive employee benefits plans—equipped with data, HR leaders will be able to provide benefits that offer the most value to employees, based on a predictive roadmap.
By using a customer-centric, data-driven, and predictive approach to delivering employee healthcare benefits, you can keep up with the future of healthcare. It's no doubt an exciting time to be in HR, but to take on these dramatic changes to the healthcare model, you'll need the right knowledge to prepare.
Discover how you can effectively personalize your benefits offerings with our whitepaper on the "Google-ization" of employee benefits.
Contact a Mercer consultant to discuss personalized benefits and learn how to effectively adapt your benefits offerings with the changing times.


Each week this year at the 'Spiritual Development' classes that I teach at my academy, we start the class with writing 3 things we are grateful for (this raises the vibration) and then I ask the students to set a goal that they would like to achieve for the week.
I must say I am impressed. Most of them now arrive and write down their 3 gratitudes without having to be reminded and they are also achieving a lot of goals. Each week we also check in to encourage each other and celebrate with each other.
This week we have cheekily agreed to pay a small penalty if we don't achieve our goals. Some of them have even agreed to shout the rest of us a particular health drink (a Kombucha one …hmmm this should be interesting) as a motivator if they don't achieve their goal. So we should all be getting healthy if some of us are not achieving, ha ha.
We were all having so much fun while planning and these classes always full of fun and laughter while learning. The best way to learn!
I must say I have found that it is not always easy to achieve the goals that we set, as life can get in the way. The idea though is to really, really try and not get too upset if you don't get there.
For the first time, I haven't achieved my goals for the last two weeks. I have been trying but just not getting there. One of my goals was to return to my beloved Zumba classes. I just adore dancing and Zumba is a way I can dance without worrying about having a partner to dance with.
One hour of bliss, moving my body to the music, sort of playing follow the leader, so I don't get it wrong and hopefully getting fitter and maybe even get rid of the excess weight!
Now due to foot surgery on both my feet and traveling, I have not been able to get there and just when I thought I might be able to get back to Zumba, my podiatrist advises me not to do it until my new orthotics are made! Aargh!
An unachievable goal at this stage, at least for the next few weeks. Do I feel like I failed? NO! It was just not the right timing and acceptance is the best thing for me at the moment. Will I give up? NO! This is something that I will do and hopefully before the end of the year.
I guess what I am trying to say is don't stop setting your goals, even if you have to put other goals on hold and understand that you are only human, but make sure you set other goals in the meantime so that you are always moving forward and feeling good about yourself for achieving.
Remember if you want something bad enough you will find a way. What goals can you set and what do you want to achieve? Keep setting your goals and turn your dreams into reality.
Even though our Development group that has been going for many years has full numbers, I have an online development group on a Thursday night, and even better when you join this group you can watch the replay of the class and previous classes. You can redo the exercise and meditation as many times as you want by watching the replay. Bonus! It is never too late to join us and you get access to the sessions that you missed in this round.

Q: In general - How do I sum polynomial sequences like $3.7 + 5.9+...$ in closed form? I'm perusing an old book (Operators by D.R. Dickinson) which has a section showing how to sum for example
$$3 \cdot 5 \cdot 7 + 5 \cdot 7 \cdot 9 + \cdots + (2n+1)(2n+3)(2n+5)$$
For the generic, closed-form solution the book gives, it matters that the difference between successive factors in a given term is the same as the difference between the corresponding factors in successive terms.
Here we have $3 \cdot 5 \cdot 7$ with factor difference of $2$, and also the first term (3.5.7) starts with $3$, the second term (5.7.9) starts with 5.
For the record, what they do to sum the above is to firstly write
$$u_{r} = \prod_{s = 0}^{m-1} [a + (r+s-1)b]$$
This way, you can change either r or s and compensate (by adjusting limit m) to get the same thing.
Now they have an auxillary definition, applying when $r \geq 1$
$v_{r}=\prod_{s = 0}^{m} [a + (r+s-1)b] \quad \quad$
This time, notice index $s$ stops at $m$ rather than (m-1).
for $r \ge 1$
$$v_{r} = u_{r}.[a + (r+m-1)b]$$
also
$$v_{r_{-1}} = \prod_{s = 0}^{m} [a + (r+s-2)b] = [a + (r+s-2)b].u_{r}$$
Therefore
$$v_{r} - u_{r-1} = (m+1).b.u_{r}$$
$$\sum_{r = 1}^{n} u_{r} = \dfrac{1}{(m+1).b}(v_n-v_0)$$
I hope I've written that correctly - I have slightly changed the book's rather opaque presentation.
Okay - But now how about this
$3.7 + 5.9+...+(2n+1)(2n+5)$
The way they tackle this is to first derive some "standard forms" (which I have labeled F1, F2, F3)
$\sum_{r = 1}^{n} 1 = n \quad \quad (F_1)$
$\sum_{r = 1}^{n} r = \dfrac{1}{2}n(n+1) \quad \quad (F_2)$
$\sum_{r = 1}^{n} r(r+1) = \dfrac{1}{3}n(n+1)(n+2) \quad \quad (F_3)$
Now, expand the new problem, i.e.
$u_r = (2r+1)(2r+5) = 4r^2+12r+5 = 4r(r+1) + 8r + 5$
Notice the term $r(r+1)$ is like the LHS of form F3, $8r$ is like F2 and $5$ is like F1.
Therefore
$\sum_{r = 1}^{n} u_r = \dfrac{4}{3}n(n+1) + 4n(n+1) + 5n$
Now the above is some work and is not a closed form in a generic sense for series of similar form having say $6$ factors per term.

So - my question is
Is there a more generic way to approach this, not requiring those "Standard Forms" and not asking us to multiply out all factors in $u_r$?

A: The general term can be written as
$$T_n=(2r+1)(2r+3)(2r+5)$$
$$8T_n=(2r+1)(2r+3)(2r+5)(2r+7)-(2r-1)(2r+1)(2r+3)(2r+5)$$
$$8T_n=V_{n+1}-V_n$$
Where $$V_n=(2r-1)(2r+1)(2r+3)(2r+5)$$
Now $$S=\sum_{r=1}^n T_r=\frac{1}{8}\sum_{r=1}^n(V_{r+1}-V_{r})$$
Now telescope to get $\displaystyle S=\boxed{\frac{V_{n+1}-V_1}{8}}$

A: You can write the given series as \begin{align} S_n = \sum_{r =1}^{n}((2r+1)(2r + 3)(2r + 5)) \\= \sum_{r =1}^{n} 8 \, r^{3} + 36 \, r^{2} + 46 \, r + 15 \\= 8 \sum_{r =1}^{n} r^3 + 36 \sum_{r =1}^{n}r^2 + 46 \sum_{r =1}^{n} r + \sum_{r =1}^{n}15 \end{align}
Using $$ \sum_{r =1}^{n}r^3 = \frac{1}{4} \, {\left(n + 1\right)}^{2} n^{2}$$ and $$\sum_{r =1}^{n} r^2 = \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}$$ and $$\sum_{r =1}^{n}r = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}$$ we find that

$$ S_n = 2 \, n^{4} + 16 \, n^{3} + 43 \, n^{2} + 44 \, n = {\left(2 \, n^{2} + 8 \, n + 11\right)} {\left(n + 4\right)} n$$

A: As the general term is a polynomial, you can expand it and use the Faulhaber formulas for the respective terms. As Faulhaber is itself a closed-form, you will get a closed-form in all cases.
In the given example,
$$8n^3+36n^2+46n+15\to 2n^2(n+1)^2+6n(n+1)(2n+1)+23n(n+1)+15n\\=2n^4+16n^3+43n^2+44n.$$

You can also obtain that polynomial by Lagrangian interpolation on the first n+1 terms of the series.
Newtonian interpolation is even better for general terms that are products of $k$ integers in arithmetic progression.
In your case:
$$\Delta_1=(2n+3)(2n+5)(2n+7)$$
$$\Delta_2=6(2n+5)(2n+7)$$
$$\Delta_3=27(2n+7)$$
$$\Delta_3=54$$

Batman Goes To The 1970s In 'Batman: Soul Of The Dragon' Trailer
by Erik Amaya
The next Batman animated feature will have a decidedly 1970s feel. Warner Bros. Home Entertainment announced this week the next DC Universe Movie will be Batman: Soul of the Dragon. Clearly set in the 1970s, it sees Batman, Richard Dragon, Lady Shiva, and Ben Turner teaming up to face off against the Kobra Cult in story clearly inspired by Enter the Dragon and any number of grindhouse kung-fu movies from the era.
David Giuntoli stars as Bruce Wayne/Batman with Mark Dacascos as Richard Dragon, Kelly Hu as Lady Shiva and Michael Jai White as Ben Turner; a role he played in live action over on Arrow. The film even features the legendary character actor James Hong as O-Sensei, the group's martial arts master. Additional voices include Josh Keaton, Grey Griffin, Chris Cox, Erica Luttrell, Robin Atkin Downes, Patrick Seitz, Jamie Chung and Eric Bauza.
Sam Liu directs from a script by Jeremy Adams which tips its hat to the dearly departed Denny O'Neil, who passed away earlier this year and co-created Dragon, Turner, Shiva, and O-Sensei.
