If these are true for you, your friend is your soulmate.
A lot of us are going to have that one friend. There's always that one friend who just forces us to think what if all of the time. There's a tangible connection there that neither of you can shake and so you're just left to wonder about all of the possibilities. You think that maybe there's something there that's worth exploring but you don't necessarily want to risk the friendship for anything. If you buy into the whole concept of soulmates, there is a high chance that your best friend just happens to be your soulmate. In fact, there's a way for you to find out. You just have to be wary of the signs in your relationship. If the signs are strong, then that could imply the need for you to actually take a leap of faith. Take a risk and make a move. You never know what good will come of it.
According to leading experts in the field, it's perfectly reasonable for people to only want to be with the one when it comes to long-term relationships. The reason for this is because it's so rare for two people to develop a level of compatibility with one another, that the moment they do manage to find someone they mesh seamlessly with, they shouldn't take that for granted. And the key for most people, is really figuring out that what they have with someone is actually really special. They can't afford to be complacent or nonchalant about it. If you really think that your best friend has the potential to be your soulmate, then you need to take that chance. You need to be willing to take that risk. Yes, it's going to be very risky but you have to keep in mind that love is always going to be a risk. So you might as well be taking that risk with someone you're already comfortable with being.
But still, it's scary. And you need to put your mind at ease. In order to do that, you just need to seek the signs. You need to know that your best friend really is your soulmate. And how can you know for sure? Stay vigilant. If a lot of the things that are listed on here apply to your best friend, then there's a really good chance that you really are soulmates.
1. There is no shortage of trust in your relationship.
You always trust in one another. You can really depend on each other to always be there no matter what. You have each other's backs when life gets rough and you are always there to celebrate through the good times.
2. They always cheer you on in life.
Your soulmate should also be your biggest cheerleader. They should always be pushing you towards your dreams and they should be sharing your enthusiasm for the major milestones that you happen to achieve in life.
3. You always find yourselves flirting with one another.
Of course, if you have already had subtle flirtations with one another throughout the course of your friendship, you just can't deny that there is a romantic energy there that you really need to act on.
4. You have no difficulties trying to understand one another.
You just get one another. You don't feel like you need too much effort into trying to explain yourself. You don't feel like you have to censor or filter yourself in anyway. You can just be your true genuine selves with one another and that's not something you can do with just anyone.
5. You automatically go to each other when you have important news to share.
You just go to your soulmate right away whenever something significant has happened to you. Whenever you have important news to share, whether good or bad, you immediately run to your best friend first before anyone else.
6. You never fail to ask for their opinions about important matters.
Whenever your tasked with having to come to an important decision about something, you regularly consult your best friend. There is no other person whose opinion you would trust more than your best friend's.
7. You would rather spend time with them over anyone else.
And lastly, you know that this person is important and valuable to you when you don't even think about wanting to spend time with another person.

Q: How to change the orientation (rotate) of an HDMI output in WAYLAND on a raspberrypi I am building a kiosk application that is to run on a raspberry pi 4.
The linux system was built using buildroot.
The display server is WESTON, which is an implementation of Wayland.
My application needs the output to be displayed on tv screen in the potrait position.
Reading the docs for WAYLAND, i have included the followin snippet in my "weston.ini" configuration file
[output]
name=HDMI-A-1
transform=90

However, WESTON fails to launch with the error message in the log file saying:

Invalid transform "90" for output HDMI-A-1

Setting "transform=normal", WESTON launches successfully and displays in landscape form.
I'm i missing an extra step in building weston?
Any hints and suggestions are highly welcome
Regards

A: try
[output]
name=HDMI-A-1
transform=rotate-90

This is what I use in my pinball project
BTW, is there way to enumerate outputs names before starting weston ?

Softball Heads to Charleston for Conference Doubleheader
WHEELING, W.Va. — The Wheeling University softball team (9-10, 2-2) opened the game of the Mountain East Conference (MEC) last weekend when they played their doubleheaders with both Notre Dame College and Alderson Broaddus divided. They will now face their first MEC South Division opponent of the season when they take to the streets on Friday to face the University of Charleston. The first game is scheduled for 3:00 p.m., followed by the second game at 5:00 p.m.
Last Monday, Wheeling split his double header against Alderson Broaddus. In the first matchup, the Cardinals offense shone as they contributed 14 hits as a team, giving them nine runs to the Battlers Two. A good chunk of the Cardinals' offense came from Cassie Roman and Cassie Feyh as they both came through and hit home runs to build a strong lead for Wheeling. As a team, Wheeling compiled a total of nine RBIs that played a key role in the nine runs scored. Defensively, the Cardinals held Alderson Broaddus on seven total hits and only allowed them to put together two RBIs.
After winning the first double-header, the Cardinals failed in the second in a twelve-five loss. In the second matchup, allowing the Battlers to total fifteen hits and twelve runs was a major key. One difference between the two games was that the Cardinals allowed two errors in the first game while allowing four errors in the second, setting up runs for the Battlers. The Cardinals finished the weekend 2-2 and are looking to win their first conference doubleheader of the season.
Was the leader on offense over the weekend Gina Fogle, who now leads the MEC in doubles at nine this season. Her big moment came in the first game of the weekend against Notre Dame College when she hit a walk-off double that gave Wheeling a 7-6 win. Overall, Fogle went 8-15 (.533) with four RBI in the four games. Autumn Oehlstrom was another force on the Wheeling lineup and leads the team this season with a .462 batting average. She was 7-13 (.538) with one home run and nine RBI over the four game stretch.
Wheeling now looks ahead to their first MEC South opponent of the season in Charleston as they look to build on last week's performance. The offensive is hitting all cylinders, hitting seven or more runs in three of their four games over the weekend. Aiming for an average of seven runs per game, the team is currently just under that mark with an average of 5.7 runs per game over the first 19 games of the season. They want to keep scoring while fighting for a spot in the MEC Playoffs.
The matchup
The next time the Cardinals will play is the Golden Eagles of Charleston, the last time these two teams faced each other was last April when the Cardinals won three to one. In the matchup, Wheeling accumulated seven hits and did not issue an error, which was key to the win. They also received strong contributions from several players in the hitting department, but Autum Oehlstorm stood out as she had two hits, an RBI and a home run to fuel the Cardinals' offense. Wheeling was also on point defensively, although they gave six hits they were able to get out of most innings by only allowing one run. The Cardinals are hoping to match the same result in this next competition to improve their conference and overall records.
The first pitch for Friday's doubleheader is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. on the University of Charleston campus. You can follow the game live with a click HERE.

Q: How can I validate that aleatoric uncertainty is well-trained? I'm trying to implement a neural network that learns aleatoric uncertainty for regression task using pytorch according to Kendall et al.
It seems that the training have done well, which means learning curve converged and predicted mean values fitted to desired ground truth values.
In this situation, while predicted mean values can be validated by comparing them to ground truth values using error metric such as MSE or something, I have no idea how to validate uncertainties.
The model outputs some variances that represents uncertainties, but how can I know this values are well-trained?
Here is what I've tried:
Aleatoric uncertainty represents the variance of y given the same Xs. But my dataset rarely have the same Xs. So, I did k-means clustering to collect similar Xs as much as possible, and then calculated standard deviations for each cluster to compare with aleatoric uncertainties. As a result, aleatoric uncertainties are much larger than the standard deviations for every case.
Judging from this result, should it be considered that aleatoric uncertainty was learned incorrectly?
Or is there any better way to evaluate aleatoric uncertainty?
Appendix:
I have 3 features, and I'm using MinMaxScaler because they have different scales.
sc_X = MinMaxScaler()
sc_Y = MinMaxScaler()
dataset_X = op_7GT_max[gt_input_cols]
dataset_Y = op_7GT_max[gt_output_cols]
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(dataset_X, dataset_Y, test_size=0.2)
X_train_sc = sc_X.fit_transform(X_train.values)
y_train_sc = sc_Y.fit_transform(y_train.values)
X_test_sc = sc_X.transform(X_test.values)
y_test_sc = sc_Y.transform(y_test.values)

Here is my model:
class Model(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.net = nn.Sequential(nn.Linear(3, 16), nn.ReLU(), nn.Dropout(0.2),
                                 nn.Linear(16, 32), nn.ReLU(), nn.Dropout(0.2),
                                 nn.Linear(32, 16), nn.ReLU())

        self.out_mean = nn.Sequential(nn.Linear(16, 1))
        self.out_logstd = nn.Sequential(nn.Linear(16, 1))

    def get_loss(self, y, mean, logstd):

        negative_log_likelihood = logstd + 0.5 * np.log(2 * np.pi) + 0.5 * ((y - mean) ** 2) /
                                                                  (torch.exp(logstd) ** 2)
        return torch.mean(negative_log_likelihood)

    def forward(self, x):
        features = self.net(x)
        mean = self.out_mean(features)
        logstd = self.out_logstd(features)

        return mean, logstd

    def inference(self, x, test_num=1000):

        mus = []
        sigmas = []
        for _ in range(test_num):
            mu, sigma = self.forward(x)
            mus.append(mu)
            sigmas.append(sigma)

        mus = torch.cat(mus, dim=1)
        sigmas = torch.cat(sigmas, dim=1)

        mean_mu = mus.mean(dim=1)
        std_mu = mus.std(dim=1)

        mean_sigma = sigmas.mean(dim=1)
        std_sigma = sigmas.std(dim=1)

        return mean_mu, std_mu, mean_sigma, std_sigma

Here is how I get predicted value and uncertainties, and how they are inverse transformed. _mean_mu_inv is predicted value, _std_mu_inv is epistemic uncertainty, and _mean_sigma_inv is aleatoric uneratainty which I interested in.
_X_test = torch.from_numpy(X_test_sc).float().to(device)

# Input X_test to model and get mean and logstd of Y
mean_mu, std_mu, mean_sigma, std_sigma = model.inference(_X_test)
_mean_mu = mean_mu.data.cpu().numpy()
_std_mu = std_mu.data.cpu().numpy()
_mean_sigma = np.exp(mean_sigma.data.cpu().numpy())
print(_mean_mu.shape, _std_mu.shape, _mean_sigma.shape)

# Inverse scaling
_mean_mu_inv = sc_Y.inverse_transform(_mean_mu.reshape(-1, 1)).flatten()
_std_mu_inv = abs(sc_Y.data_max_ - sc_Y.data_min_) * _std_mu
_mean_sigma_inv = abs(sc_Y.data_max_ - sc_Y.data_min_) * _mean_sigma


The plains and forests of Bihar are ablaze. From Purnea to Palamau and Bhojpur to Bhagalpur, agricultural labourers and poor peasants are up in arms throughout the State. Armed clashes between the private armies of landlords and the peasants often running for hours together, killings of notorious landlords and murders of peasant leaders, police firings on processions and mass meetings, cold-blooded murders of revolutionaries in police encounters, peasant guerilla squads overrunning police camps to seize rifles, strikes of agrarian labourers, and landlord gangs indulging in pogroms are all regular features in today's Bihar. The latest massacre of over 60 people at Arwal in Gaya by the Bihar Police has surpassed all previous records of police brutality and has been rightly termed as the resurrection of Jallianwallabagh on the soil of Bihar.
The main arena of the battle is confined to the central districts of Bhojpur, Gaya, Patna, Nalanda and Aurangabad. The immediate impact of the struggle stretches to the neighbouring districts of Nawada, Hazaribagh, Palamau and Rohtas in Bihar and, to a certain extent, also to Varanasi, Ghazipur and Ballia, the bordering districts of Eastern Uttar Pradesh.
The principal organisations siding with the peasants are the CPI(ML) (Liberation), the CPI(ML) (Party Unity) and the Maoist Communist Centre (MCC). In some pockets, actions of the PCC, CPI(ML) and certain pro-Lin Piao groups are also active. The Chhatra-Yuva Sangharsh Vahini, an organisation basing on JP's ideas, has also developed struggles in a few pockets. While various peasant mass organisations—open, semi-open and secret—built up by different M-L groups stand in the forefront of the struggle; peasant guerilla squads, armed with the guns and rifles seized from the landlords and the police and popularly known as the Red Army or Red Guard, provide the backbone.
On the side of the landlords are ranged almost all the major political parties, the Congress(I) assuming the principal role. The CPI is most vociferous in opposing the revolutionary camp and openly colludes with the Congress(I), the landlords and the state in splitting and suppressing the movement. For the CPI as well as the CPI(M), the latter however is the weaker partner in Bihar, the Naxalites are pitting agrarian labourers against the peasants, providing, in the process, excuses to the state for unleashing severe repression on the masses—and all this at the behest of the CIA.
However, since different opposition parties and dissident Congress factions have contradictions with the ruling Congress as well as among themselves, they try to utilise the peasant struggle and particularly the instances of repression for their narrow political ends. The Lok Dal, the main opposition party in Bihar, alarmed as it is at its slipping hold over the harijans and backward castes, frantically opposes all class-based mobilisations of the peasantry, always striving to isolate and split the forces of revolutionary democracy. However, the same motive of protecting its own social base also makes it show concern over the repression let loose by the upper-caste landlords and the police on the agrarian labourers and poor peasants from among the harijans and backward castes.
These political parties apart, there are the caste-based private armies of the landlords, propped up in collaboration with the state.
Apart from the regular opposition parties there are also many splinter organisations and groups subscribing to the philosophies of Gandhi, Vinoba Bhave and JP as well as various voluntary agencies undertaking so-called developmental activities. Majority of them rely on foreign funding and work with the avowed aim of disrupting the peasant movement. However, some sections among them comprising idealist students and youths do cooperate with the forces of revolutionary democracy.
Various streams of Jharkhand movement do not have any well-defined programme for the adivasi peasants. However, in some cases they do undertake struggles against eviction and exploitation by the merchants and moneylenders and for the right on forest land and forest produce and also for social progress. And at times they, too, cooperate with the forces of revolutionary democracy.

Great Lake Swimmers: Bodies and Minds
Great Lake Swimmers
Ongiara
(Nettwerk; 2007)
By Jessica Faulds | 6 December 2007
The similarities between Great Lake Swimmers' ether-voiced frontman Tony Dekker and eponymous songwriter star Sufjan Stevens are probably obvious and needn't be stated, but I'm not going to let that that stop me.
Similarity number one: Dekker and Stevens are both folk musicians at heart who won over a scene hungry for electronics and irony with little more than their acoustic guitars, banjos, and quavering emissions of sincerity. Similarity number two: While their success with the coveted skinny-pants crowd is a bit surprising in itself, it is more so considering that both songwriters radiate a faint but palpable air of religious reverence. Similarity number three: Dekker and Stevens both sing like they've swallowed angels for breakfast.
While it's tempting to cry doppelganger, what these similarities really boil down to is the fact that these guys fill the same niche -- that is, "Silver-throated saints who don't ruin my cred." Their campfire-friendly aesthetic stands in welcome relief to the abundance of ever-younger and sharper technical whiz kids who are thriving in pop music's accelerated world order. And it's still cool, or at least okay, to like them. In most circles.
All this being said, Sufjan Stevens has moved on. He gave his sparse folk (and much of his overt religious thematicism) its last hurrah with 2004's Seven Swans and began experimenting with minimalist orchestral elements and densely-arranged pop explosions. Anyone expecting Great Lake Swimmers to follow suit will be disappointed: Ongiara is another acoustic folk album, but it is a beautiful one.
GLS don't necessarily need brass sections or pop hooks, but they do need to move forward (or even just sideways) if they want to hold our attention. Sure, in this hyperkinetic age, we crave moments of peace, but we're not going to take our entire quota of serenity from a single source. The artists with longevity are those who have managed to strike a balance. The real problem with the songs that make up Ongiara, then, is that they are too consistently beautiful: they creep, lilt, and sway for the better part of an hour, leaving behind them a trail of gorgeous natural reverb, and by the end of it all, we're exhausted from the constant, dreamy swooning. Dekker has proven himself a master of the mid-tempo, and he executes his creations with perfect restraint and control, but deprives us all of the opportunity to see what would happen if he let go of the reins. As a listener, you may find yourself wondering what might happen if he broke out the electric guitar, let his drummer (possibly the most ascetic musician in the world) loose, and let the quiet introspection give way to a more manifest passion.
The good thing is that he tried. I really do get the impression that GLS set out to make a more dynamic, sweeping album than 2004's undeniably beautiful Bodies and Minds, and it would be mean of me not to concede that they have succeeded -- to a point. Coming from the Swimmers, album opener "Your Rocky Spine" sounds like an explosion of unbridled enthusiasm. And that electric guitar I asked for earlier? It actually is there, on the odd-metered "Put There By the Land". And so is Final Fantasy's Owen Pallett! And so is a big drum! There's even a modest accelerando. By all accounts, Great Lake Swimmers have done everything we could have wanted. However, these elements still feel tightly controlled, and for every breakthrough moment, there's a fumble elsewhere on the album. "There is a Light," the last in a run of four consecutive waltzes, ends with one of those serendipitous melodies that seem to have upward momentum, like a ball that rolls uphill on its own. These kinds of musical moments beg to be extended and built to exultant heights, but one gets the feeling Great Lake Swimmers don't want to be party to this kind of musical exploitation, so they cut it off short, and we're shuffled onward.
Tony Dekker's skill as a songwriter is undeniable, and despite the uniformity, many of these songs deserve our affection. Whether crafting lyrics that deftly straddle literalism and metaphor ("Your Rocky Spine"), or singing melodies that wrench us without words (the chorus to "I Became Awake"), Dekker's sincerity resonates within those listeners who are willing to engage. Tolstoy thought of art as a form of communion -- a transmission of emotion -- and by this definition the music of Great Lake Swimmers is, if nothing else, art. Nowadays, though, you don't see the "arts" without "& entertainment!" tacked on the end, and it is the entertainment element that Great Lake Swimmers need to master.

CUT by Wolfgang Puck is one of the best steak restaurants in Singapore. Since opening at Marina Bay Sands in 2010, it has scored numerous awards, plus 3 Michelin stars – it's difficult to argue against the fact that celebrity chef and owner Wolfgang Puck knows a thing or two about how to cook a good steak.
His Singapore outpost became famous for serving up some of the rarest varieties of beef from around the world – all cooked to absolute perfection. In 2014, CUT by Wolfgang Puck became the first-ever restaurant outside Japan to serve the ultra-exclusive Hokkaido Snow Beef... but at a cost (at that time about S$250 for 170 g).
Some less exclusive, but slightly more affordable varieties at CUT by Wolfgang Puck include their American prime steaks (S$70-100), Australian grain-fed Angus (S$80-170), Snake River Farm Angus 'Kobe style' beef (S$160-185), and Japanese Wagyu beef (S$200-280).
Most varieties are available in all the usual cuts, such as ribeye, tenderloin, T-bone, sirloin, rump, and fillet, and it is highly recommended not to order your steak anything over medium rare. With such a huge emphasis on the beef, you might be fooled into thinking CUT is only about the steaks... but it's not.
Go for the pan-roasted Maine lobster with black truffle sabayon if you really want something memorable or kick off your meal with a tiny but tasty starter such as their bone marrow flan (from S$26), or bigeye tuna tartare (from S$37). They also have a long list of fine wines from across the world, alongside beers and house cocktails starting from S$22.
Whenever you glance at a restaurant's menu and the cheapest thing you can find is a side of sauce for S$5, you know your credit card is going to be in for a bit of a battering. However, at CUT by Wolfgang Puck, you do get the sense that most of the clientele aren't too worried about the figure on the bill afterwards.
This swanky outlet welcomes some of the best-dressed diners you'll ever see in what a shopping mall restaurant is essentially (in Shoppes at Marina Bay). Many city workers migrate over from the CBD for their lunch break or after work. You can find CUT by Wolfgang Puck Singapore at basement level 1 of The Shoppes. The nearest MRT Station is Bayfront.


Three members of the Morris County Sheriff's Office Explorers Post 140 on Saturday, March 23, climbed hillsides and scoured the banks of the Whippany River in Morristown for litter while participating in the 9th annual Whippany River clean-up.

Gannon, Sheriff's Office Corporal Laura Bertelli, Sheriff's Office Explorer Post 140 Member Chris Primamore, Explorer Steven Fasano, Explorer Vani Gupta, and state Assemblyman Anthony M. Bucco.
Two Explorer's Post advisers – Morris County Sheriff's Office Corporal Laura Bertelli and Sergeant Walter Rawa – accompanied the teenage Explorers – Steven Fasano, Vani Gupta and Chris Primamore – on their quest to rid the riverbanks of a year's accumulation of cans, bottles, plastic and Styrofoam.
Morris County Sheriff's Office Explorer Post 140 Member Vani Gupta collected litter with fellow Explorers at the annual Whippany River clean-up on March 23.
Intrepid Sergeant Rawa wrestled a rusty, 12-foot ladder out of the river, a tributary of the Rockaway River that attracts fishermen throughout the year.
Morris County Sheriff James M. Gannon, Morris County Freeholder Douglas Cabana and state Assemblyman Anthony M. Bucco stopped by to thank all the litter collectors who had gathered by the river behind Bethel A.M.E. Church for the event held annually by the Whippany River Watershed Action Committee.
Morris County Sheriff's Office Sergeant Walter Rawa managed to dislodge a faded red ladder that was partially embedded in the muddy bottom of the Whippany River in Morristown on March 23, 2019.
Bethel A.M.E. Pastor, Rev. Sidney Williams, blessed the group before they ventured out. The Morristown Department of Public Works contributed to the beautification by picking up the mounds of bags of collected litter.

We have purposely limited our growth in order to fully service our clients' needs and to provide comprehensive, holistic wealth management services to individual clients on a highly personalized basis.

The independent RIA model (one NOT affiliated with a broker-dealer) is client-centered and advice-driven, not product-driven.
We believe firmly in the theme of increased transparency for all investment-related expenses and fees. In other words, clients should know exactly what they are paying their advisor for financial advice.
As an independent RIA firm, we promote a greater sensitivity on the part of clients to fees they are paying and show clients how they may be paying hidden fees which diminish their performance over time.
The key to successful investing is not just to make money in rising markets but also to avoid losing big in down markets. Therefore, we manage money actively to participate in gains and also to preserve capital.
More than 90% of the variation among investment portfolios historically has been caused by allocation choices among various asset classes. Therefore, we believe that investors are best served by using mutual funds and ETFs to participate in asset class performance, without excessive exposure to specific stock and individual stock risk.
We understand fully that each Client is unique, especially with respect to risk tolerance. Therefore, we work continuously to assess each Client's attitude toward risk and tailor an individual, personalized portfolio with an appropriate level of risk. Implementation is accomplished through a diversified mix of mutual funds and our focus on a risk-managed approach to investing targets a specified level of risk in relation to the stock market averages using technical data points such as beta, standard deviation and mean.
Our objective is to allow clients to participate in gains during rising market periods, and to focus on preserving capital in declining markets, to the extent reasonably permitted by changing market conditions.
We invest assets without taking specific and individual stock risk and without the responsibility of selecting individual securities.
We deliver to each Client a fully personalized and individual portfolio consisting of no-load investments tailored specifically to that individual's investment objectives. All portfolios are managed on a fully discretionary basis, with regular, ongoing monitoring of each portfolio. We will make periodic adjustments, as applicable, based upon client-specific factors.
We are not short-term traders. However, our clients may benefit from our asset allocation strategies combined with detailed knowledge of specific no-load mutual funds and their specific mandates.
Fama Wealth Management LLC is compensated through a fee schedule based on assets under management. This means that our incentive is aligned with the goals of our clients, and our compensation can increase only as a client portfolio grows in value.
Since we are not compensated for trades, we are free to provide totally objective advice that helps clients pursue long-range financial goals.
We work only for our clients and do not manage or advise any mutual fund group or receive money from them.
Each portfolio is populated with the highest quality no-load funds, which we objectively choose from the thousands available, based upon our insights and expertise.
We exercise discretion to execute trades based upon our analyses of fund performance, current market conditions, and expectations of future conditions.
Asset allocation design and implementation.
Superior fund selection based on researched-based fund performance.
Diversification by investment style and strategy.
Risk adjustment according to market conditions (as may be applicable).
Low-turnover, tax-efficient portfolios, if required by the Client.
After you discuss your goals with us, we tailor a unique and individually customized program for you using top-performing mutual funds or ETFs held in your own third party custodial account. You enjoy all the advantages of no-load funds without having to select and monitor the funds yourself.
We protect your capital by diversifying assets across several no-load funds, different fund managers and a variety of fund objectives.
We monitor investment markets daily and make fund switches when conditions warrant or when your portfolio needs to be rebalanced to correct for market-driven changes.
Because we are discretionary investment advisors, we can identify both opportunities and risks and take immediate and effective action. The client doesn't need to be in sync with the markets (or in communications with our firm) in order for the portfolio to remain dynamic and flexible in any market environment.
We seek to enhance results with an eye towards the preservation of capital by utilizing asset allocation strategies combined with an overlay of tax planning and asset "location" for each Client.
We do not "fall in love" with funds or fund managers, as so many individual investors are prone to do. Our decisions are based on objective data combined with experience and we leave our emotions out of this decision-making process.
We save our Clients time, effort and worry by handling all administrative details associated with the management of your portfolio. We manage all aspects of your investments and report to you quarterly on account positions and valuations. This allows the Client to devote full-time attention to his or her personal life, business life or other activities.
We do not limit client portfolios to any fund family or pre-determined group of families. We use Fidelity Investments' Institutional Wealth Services platform as a flexible base of operations to move a Client's money among many top-quality funds, including funds available only to institutional investors as well as "load funds" which we are able to purchase at net asset value (without loads).
Last, but not least, we NEVER take possession or custody of a Client's assets! All assets are held at Fidelity Investments, Charles Schwab, Vanguard, TIAA-CREF or another independent, third-party custodian.
A great deal of attention in the financial media has recently been given to the importance of working with a fiduciary advisor. What is meant by the term "fiduciary" and what exactly is the "fiduciary standard"?


I am new to Data modeling side and i am trained on modeling techniques.
Are these techniques are specific to a traditional RDBMS?
I have some knowledge on Vertica on how the data is stored... the projections, compressing and encoding techniques.
is there anything that i may have to consider for Data Modeling on a Vertica DB? since its a columnar!
is there any specific documents i need to go through for that?
There are at least two kinds of data model techniques, one for transactional databases and the second technique is for Business Intelligence. In the transactional data model we work with normalization techniques, and with the BI models is usual to work with "Cubes" and the database is not exactly normalized. In BI data models the "Fact and Dimension" concepts are usual.
And you need to use the reporting requirements for your data model and keep focused the data model in the analysis and reporting requirements.
In the transactional databases we need a few resources for many users (sometimes millions) and in the BI or Big data Databases as Vertica, we will require many resources for a few users.
You need to read about "Cubes data modeling" or "Analytic Databases and Dimensional Design", you can read the book: Star Schema: The Complete Reference, this is just a sample.

Severe Malaria And Sickle Cell Anemia In Children In Mbujimayi Of DR Congo | 17940
Severe malaria and sickle cell anemia in children in Mbujimayi of DR Congo
Oscar Numbi Luboya
Accepted Abstracts: Epidemiol
T he selective advantage of the ?S?is very controversial in many studies. The objective was to find the existence, to determine the prevalence and the type of severe malaria in different forms of sickle cell anemia. This study is retrospective, descriptive and transversal, for 6 years (2005-2011) in Bonzola Hospital (central DR Congo). The diagnosis of sickle cell anemia was done after electrophoresis of hemoglobin and the diagnosis of severe malaria was done after a positive test and classified according with WHO criteria. 338 children have found to have developed severe malaria during the period of our study, 20 of them were found to have type S hemoglobin which accounts to 5.9% of the whole subjects chosen. 65% of subjects were between 4 and 9 years. The male sex was more predominant than female (sex ratio=1.5).The AA hemoglobin phenotype represent 94.8% of cases (368/388), RR=1.17. 3 forms of severe malaria was found in sickle cell children (AS or SS): anemia in 1.02%, hypoglycemia in 1.55% (RR=1.55), hemoglobinuria in 2.57% (RR=4.5). The parasitemia rate is more important concerning AS children (12/20) than SS children (8/20). Our study showed that severe malaria can occur on sickle cell anemia subjects. Doing further analytical studies would help investigate the biological implications of P. falciparum in sickle cell anemia.
Oscar Luboya Numbi is a pediatrician since more than 20 years, and a pioneer of public Health in DR Congo. Currently he held the position as the chief of Pediatric Department at University of Lubumbashi. He is also the provincial president of the Congolese Society of Pediatric. He teaches in more than six universities and have publish locally and internationally many papers. PDF HTML

LLanganates National Park an adventure tourism center
An important discovery was found in the Llanganates National Park, located 20 miles from Baños de Agua Santa, this cozy town considered a very popular adventure tourism center, and the gateway for tours into the Amazon region.
A group of Explorer informs to have found ruins in the dense Amazonian jungle that could reveal one of the mysteries of the Inka time. The initial theory suggests it could contain the Treasure of the Llanganatis, a huge quantity of gold and other riches supposedly hidden in the early 16th century by Inca general Ruminahui to keep it from the forces of Spanish conquistadors. Legend says the general took the hoard up into the Llanganatis Mountains and hid it in a cave or threw it into a lake.
This team formed by explorers from England, France, United States and Ecuador has located the site in the jungle area of the Llaganates Park which they believe could represent one of the greatest archaeological discoveries. After three months of works, they have already unearthed a 260ft tall by 260ft wide structure, made up of hundreds of two-ton stone blocks, and believe there could be more, similar constructions over an area of about a square mile.
Investigations of this discover, in the Andes mountain range, are at an early stage and theories as to what it contains vary.
Some of those involved believe it could be the mausoleum of Atahualpa, the last Incan emperor who was captured by the conquering Spaniards, or hold the Treasure of the Llanganates, a vast haul of gold and other riches amassed by his people to pay for his release In exchange for his freedom, Atahualpa is said to have offered to fill a room with gold. But the offer was rebuffed and he was executed in 1533.
According to the legend his body was buried with great treasures, that probably can be found in this new site.

Q: Toast from destroyed activity/fragment, getString issue I have a fragment with UI that is responsible for doing short async api-calls. When an async task completes fragment triggers a Toast message with a result-string.
My issue is that if a user presses Back button without waiting for the result the app crushes due to a onPostExecute method, which in turn triggers Toast + getString(R.string.whatever) in the fragment that is already detached, because the activity is behind the onDestroy state.
I can check whether the fragment is detached or use a ProgressDialog, which is modal but I think it would be nice to show the toasts without blocking or any other quirks. Any suggestions on how to achieve it? Broadcast receiver in the application class == overkill?
Thanks.
UPD logs:

  java.lang.IllegalStateException: Fragment

A: At the start of the async call, get the activity from the fragment, and get the application context from it. Use that one later to get the string you need.
Alternatively, you can fetch the string you need when you start the async call, instead of when you have to show the toast.

The finishing touch. We all spend a lot of time in our living rooms. It's a space for cosy nights in when winter raps at the windowpane; a space for welcoming guests, reading a book or opening presents on Christmas morning. Above all, it's a place where that intangible feeling of 'home' beats the strongest. Such a room, therefore, deserves a special feature, and adding a beautiful fireplace to your living room can make all the difference. If not for the warmth, or an added touch of individuality, but as a helpful focal point to create harmony in your living room. Our team of interior designers have brought together a stunning collection of fireplaces for you to choose from. Catering for both gas and electric, you'll find a range of fireplaces and surrounds in traditional and modern designs. The Stonehenge Shown in Portuguese limestone surround with matching back panel and hearth. The Stonehenge features a contrasting chrome frame and coals.
Electric suites. With all the elements paired by an expert designer, our electric suites make light work of decision making. The elements of the fireplace and surround complement each other, creating an impressive focal point to suit any contemporary living space. Logs only available with the Amalfi. The Vegas Shown in white and grey effect, the Vegas makes a beautifully sleek addition to any modern living room.
AmThe alfi. An incredibly elegant design with its subtle curved detailing. The Amalfi's timeless design, shown here in a Tarrano Grey finish, sits beautifully in either a traditional or contemporary setting.
sFuirrerounds. You also have the option of selecting your own combination from our family of fireplaces and surrounds. The right surround sets the tone for the whole fireplace. As well as design, the material you choose can make a significant difference too; the beauty of choosing limestone or marble is that no two surrounds will ever be precisely the same. They are both natural materials, each with unique variations in colour and texture, so you're fireplace is a real one-off. The Drayton Achieve a more minimalist look with the Drayton's Portuguese limestone with matching back panel and hearth. The Denver White marble and grey quartz contrast beautifully here to create this distinctive fireplace. The Oviedo A timeless design, the Oviedo's white marble surround, hearth and back panel have an understated beauty.
The Thompson Shown in white and grey marble with matching back panel and hearth, the Thompson's style is one you'll never tire of. The Turnbury In a white effect with a black granite hearth and back panel, this bold design makes a striking feature. The Sydney Is a large glass-fronted gas fire that offers more heat and uses less fuel. In other words, it's extremely fuel-efficient. It's elegant styling and ease of use makes this design a popular choice. The Stonehenge This Portuguese limestone surround with matching back panel is simple yet impactful.

CHARREA SYKES
Eddie Murphy is back at it.

The track is the latest off of his upcoming album titled 9, which will hit stores in spring 2014. He previously released "Red Light" with Snoop Lion.
As you may recall, Murphy first made (radio)waves with his song "Party All the Time" in 1985. Murphy's latest single will be available on iTunes December 3, but you can check it out here in the meantime.

Q: Projectable vector field If $p:M\rightarrow B$ is a surjective submersion and $X$ is a vector field on $M$, where $M$ is a smooth  manifold and $B$ is a connected open subset of $\mathbf{R}^2$, that projects to $\partial_x$+$\partial_y$ how to have the part of $X$ that projects to $\partial_x$? If it makes sense.
Thanks for all help me.

A: Agreeing with Ted Shifrin. Taking the composition of $p$ with the projection $\pi : B \to \Bbb R$, then your question is equivalent to asking what is the preimage of $\partial_x$, which clearly requires the information about derivative to answer. And the whether the preimage is a "part of $X$" is another matter.

Running behind on the Facebook page update? A quick how-to guide for businesses
By Facebook spokesperson-29 March 2012 15:14pm
Tomorrow Facebook Pages will transition to the new layout, so a Facebook spokesperson has provided a few last minute tips and tricks to recommend to brands and businesses who have yet to make the switch.
From BA to Time Out London to O2, we've seen a significant percentage of businesses transition to the new Facebook Pages and successfully take advantage of the new features such as Cover Photo, Page timeline and Pinned Posts.
Below is a quick "how-to" guide, to make transitioning over to the new Pages during crunch time seamless for any brand or business:
1. Upload an Eye-Catching Cover Photo: The new Cover Photo captures the culture and essence of a brand and can showcase its products – it's the first thing people will see when they visit a brand's page. Time Out London's cover photo, which is a great shot of Tower Bridge by a London photographer is great for creating a good impression of London as a city people want to explore. Brands can change it as often as they like and use it to engage fans through creative, stimulating images that will catch people's eye.
2. Use a Clearly Branded Profile Picture: This is the best spot to use a picture that visibly identifies their business. Since the profile picture represents a brand's Page on other parts of Facebook as a thumbnail (such as in ads or news feed), a high quality image (such as a logo) that people associate with their brand should be used.
3. Add Milestones to the Page Timeline: Businesses can now take advantage of larger photo, video and link stories to visually engage fans. To ensure fans see the best posts, posts can be featured on the timeline so fans can engage with a post past the time it's in the news feed. Milestones can also be used to define key moments in their company's history, allowing fans to interact with a business beyond the present. BA has created a timeline that goes back to 1919, meaning fans can learn more about BA's history and look at how flying has evolved since the first transatlantic flight by a UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill in 1942.
4. Pin a Post a Week: Businesses can anchor the most important story to the top of their page for up to seven days so that fans don't miss the best content.
5. Arrange Views and Apps: A brand's photos and custom apps will appear at the top of its Page and can be reordered at any time. Brands can also create custom thumbnails to highlight what matters most to it – whether it's events or custom-built apps for specific products or promotions. O2 is a great example of a business that displays its custom photos and offers at the top of its Page – the O2 Just Ask and Gurus panel for example are easily accessible so people can quickly find what they need.
6. Manage Your Page: Administrators can now easily manage their Page through the Admin Panel, which gives them a high-level dashboard where they can edit content, track new activity and respond, and view Page Insights.

The 2018 Paris ePrix (formally the 2018 Qatar Airways Paris E-Prix) was a Formula E electric car race held before a crowd of 48,000 spectators at the Circuit des Invalides in the Les Invalides building complex on 28 April 2018. It was the eighth race of the 2017–18 Formula E Championship and the third Paris ePrix. The 49-lap race was won by Techeetah driver Jean-Éric Vergne from pole position. Audi's Lucas di Grassi finished second and Virgin driver Sam Bird was third.

Vergne won the pole position by recording the fastest lap in qualifying and maintained the lead for the next 23 laps as Bird had more electrical energy available. This allowed Bird to shorten Vergne's lead and unsuccessfully tried to overtake him. Through the pit stop phase to get into a second car, di Grassi took the lead for two laps after conserving electrical energy. Edoardo Mortara led the following lap before Vergne retook the position after the pit stops. Vergne was unchallenged for the final third of the race and took his third victory of the season after his teammate André Lotterer battled Bird and di Grassi.

The consequence of the race extended Vergne's Drivers' Championship lead over Bird to 31 points and Felix Rosenqvist kept third despite placing eighth. Sébastien Buemi kept fourth position while di Grassi moved him from eighth to fifth. In the Teams' Championship, Techeetah increased their advantage over Virgin from 34 to 55 points. Audi overtook Mahindra for third with four races left in the season.

Background

The 2018 Paris ePrix was confirmed as part of Formula E's 2017–18 schedule in September 2017 by the FIA World Motor Sport Council. It was the eighth of twelve scheduled single-seater electric car races of the 2017–18 Championship, and the third edition of the event. The ePrix was held at the 14-turn  clockwise Circuit des Invalides in the Les Invalides building complex of the city's 7th arrondissement on 28 April 2018. It was switched from May to April because organisers wanted less traffic in the area owing to the 2017 race being held outside the French school holidays. Construction of the circuit took around six days with workers using  of material shipped to the Port Gros-Caillou. Additionally,  of road was resurfaced to make it smoother. Organisers of the race expected around 50,000 people in attendance.

Going into the race, Techeetah driver Jean-Éric Vergne led the Drivers' Championship with 119 points. Sam Bird of Virgin followed in second place with 101 points and Mahindra's Felix Rosenqvist was third with 82 points. Sébastien Buemi of the e.Dams-Renault team was fourth with 60 points and Audi driver Daniel Abt was fifth with 50 points scored. Techeetah led the Teams' Championship with 152 points; Virgin were second with 118 points and Mahindra were 15 points behind in third. Audi in fourth and Jaguar in fifth were separated by one point.

Bird had won the preceding Rome ePrix two weeks prior and narrowed Vergne's championship lead to 18 points. He spoke of his team's belief they were closer than they had been in the title contest and aimed to capitalise on their current situation, adding that "I won last time out so I'm feeling good. It's getting to crunch time now in the championship and thankfully I'm there and fighting for the world title this year." Vergne did not finish the 2017 event due to a suspension failure and spent a week testing in Techeetah's simulator with his mechanics and looked forward to driving in Paris, saying that "Having grown up in Paris, this race is extra special for me. I'm really looking forward to racing now and to meet all the French fans that have been an incredible support so far this season." Lucas di Grassi (Audi), the 2016 Paris ePrix winner, was stimulated to keep getting podium finishes and took a plethora of momentum from Rome, adding that "Now we need to perfectly nail everything down."

A total of 20 drivers represented ten squads of two drivers each for the ePrix. There was one change of driver heading into the event. Having been in one of the NIO cars since the season-opening Hong Kong ePrix double header, Luca Filippi was dropped for the race and replaced by the team's reserve and simulation driver Ma Qinghua. The change was necessitated following Filippi's poor performances over the season compared to teammate Oliver Turvey and the lack of significant results and internal pressure was applied to allow a Chinese driver to race once during the campaign. This caused Ma to miss the FIA World Rallycross Championship round at Montalegre.

Practice

Two practice sessions—both on Saturday morning—were held before the late afternoon race. The first session ran for 45 minutes and the second lasted half an hour. An untimed half hour shakedown session was held late Friday afternoon to allow teams to check the reliability of their cars and electronic systems. Bird set the fastest lap late in the first practice session at 1 minute, 1.698 seconds, followed by di Grassi, Abt, Mitch Evans (Jaguar), Vergne, Alex Lynn (Virgin), José María López (Dragon), António Félix da Costa (Andretti), Jérôme d'Ambrosio (Dragon) and André Lotterer (Techeetah). Two red flags were necessitated in a session where several drivers went off the track: Nelson Piquet Jr. (Jaguar) lost control of his car heading onto the start/finish straight, and deranged his front-right suspension by striking the turn 14 barrier 15 minutes in. Though Piquet was unhurt, the session was stopped for ten minutes and the safety car returned him to the pit lane as his car was moved. The second stoppage came with 15 minutes left when Rosenqvist struck the kerb at turn 12, and lost control of his vehicle's rear by going airborne. He oversteered into an outside exit wall and broke his front-left suspension. Di Grassi used  of power to set the fastest lap at the end of second practice at 1 minute, 0.881 seconds, a tenth of a second ahead of Vergne. Positions three through ten were filled by Evans, Rosenqvist, Abt, Turvey, Bird, Piquet, Buemi and Lotterer. Though the session passed relatively smoothly, Piquet crashed for a second time by locking his tyres, losing control of his second car, and bent his front-left tyre in a collision at the long-right turn five barrier, stopping the session for about five minutes.

Qualifying
Saturday's afternoon qualifying session ran for an hour and was divided into four groups of five cars. Each group was determined by a lottery system and was permitted six minutes of on-track activity. All drivers were limited to two timed laps with one at maximum power. The fastest five overall competitors in the four groups participated in a "Super Pole" session with one driver on the track at any time going out in reverse order from fifth to first. Each of the five drivers was limited to one timed lap and the starting order for the ePrix was determined by the competitor's fastest times (Super Pole from first to fifth, and group qualifying from sixth to twentieth). The driver and team who recorded the fastest time were awarded three points towards their respective championships.

In the first group of five competitors, which had nobody venture onto the dusty track until midway through the session, Vergne set the fastest lap time of any driver in group qualifying at 1 minute, 1.508 seconds. Bird was close behind in second with Buemi third. Rosenqvist and Abt had weak attempts that left him more than half a second slower than Vergne and completed the first group's drivers. Lotterer led the second group in which traffic was expected to impede others less often and the track conditions were expected to improve but this proved not to be the case due to dust and debris accumulation. Second to fourth places were taken by di Grassi, Turvey and Evans. Piquet did not partake in qualifying because his two cars were being re-built after his two crashes in practice. Jaguar contravened series regulations which obliges teams to send their cars to parc fermé five minutes before qualifying. The stewards later granted Piquet dispensation to start the ePrix. In group three, Félix da Costa was fastest by setting a quick second sector and was followed by López in second. Nick Heidfeld (Mahindra) delayed his lap for as long as possible but he lost time in the final third of a lap and came third. Lynn and Edoardo Mortara (Venturi) struggled on the bumpy track and were the third group's slowest two competitors.

All five drivers of the fourth group ventured onto the track as soon as it commenced and had Maro Engel (Venturi) record the fastest lap in spite his first two sector times being off the pace of the fastest overall runners and stopped di Grassi from entering super pole. D'Ambrosio out-qualified teammate López for the first time in the season and was second-quickest in group four. Tom Blomqvist (Andretti), Nico Prost (e.Dams-Renault) and Ma were group four's slowest three drivers. At the end of the group stages, Vergne, Félix da Costa, Engel, Bird and Lotterer's lap times progressed them to super pole. Vergne (fined €1,000 for pit lane over-speeding during qualifying) was the last driver to set a lap and recorded overall best times to earn his fourth pole position of the season with a 1-minute, 1.144 seconds lap. He was joined on the grid's front row by Bird who held the pole until Vergne's lap in spite of glancing a wall on his try. Lotterer attained his highest qualifying start in Formula E at the time with third after locking his tyres entering turn three. In his second super pole appearance, Engel also had his best career qualifying effort in fourth after losing momentum in the final sector. Fifth-placed Félix da Costa locked his tyres and ran wide at the exit of the third corner to not be in contention for pole position. After qualifying, Evans changed the gearbox in one of his cars and dropped ten places because he had taken up his "joker" change in Punta del Este. However, he could not serve the full penalty and was penalised five seconds during the mandatory change into his second car. Mortara incurred a three-place grid penalty for exceeding the  speed limit under red flag conditions in the second practice session. The rest of the grid lined up after penalties as di Grassi, d'Ambrosio, Buemi, Turvey, López, Rosenqvist, Heidfeld, Prost, Abt, Lynn, Blomqvist, Ma, Piquet, Mortara and Evans.

Qualifying classification

Notes:
 — Mitch Evans dropped ten places for changing his gearbox in one of his cars.
 — Edoardo Mortara was demoted three positions for speeding under red flag conditions during second practice.

Race

The weather at the start was dry but cloudy with the air temperature between  and the track temperature from . A special feature of Formula E is the "Fan Boost" feature, an additional  of power to use in the driver's second car. The three drivers who were allowed to use the boost were determined by a fan vote. For the Paris race, Abt, Buemi and di Grassi were handed the extra power. When the race began before a crowd of 48,000 at 16:03 Central European Summer Time (UTC+02:00), Vergne maintained the lead driving into the opening corner. Lotterer made a brisk start to pass Bird but the latter regained second position as the two avoided an accident. Further back, di Grassi passed Félix da Costa for fifth as the latter was slow off the grid and fell to seventh. D'Ambrosio similarly had an unclean first lap and switched positions with his fast-starting teammate López. A problem with Ma's inverter meant he moved just a few metres off his starting slot and went several laps down on the leader.

At the turn nine hairpin, Evans attempted to pass Blomqvist with an aggressive manoeuvre and ended up ramming the back of Blomqvist's car. The resulting concertina effect caused Blomqvist to mount the rear of Prost's vehicle. The damage to Evans and Blomqvist's cars led them to enter the pit lane for repairs and dropped them to the rear of the field. The consequence of Ma's stationary car and the Evans, Blomqvist and Prost incident led the race director to activate the full course yellow procedure to allow marshals to clear debris. Racing resumed on the second lap with Vergne leading. On that lap, Félix da Costa locked his brakes due to a software glitch that switched off his car when he applied his brakes and drove onto the turn eight run-off area. He later returned to the pit lane to retire. Abt passed d'Ambrosio by braking later than him on the outside into turn one for tenth on lap four. At the front, Vergne, Bird and Lotterer opened up a small gap over Engel in fourth who was pressured by di Grassi and Buemi who conserved electrical energy.

Abt overtook Rosenqvist on the outside for ninth at the start of lap eight and passed López in the same area but on the inside the next lap. On lap 13, the black flags with an orange disc were waved for Prost, ordering him to enter the pit lane and replace his front wing because the one mounted on his car was damaged by Blomqvist in the first lap accident. Abt overtook Turvey for seventh on lap 16. Bird had slightly more usable electrical energy than race leader Vergne, allowing him to shorten the latter's advantage and replicate a duel from 2016 at the same track. Lotterer joined the battle soon after as he set at that point the race's fastest lap at 1 minute, 3.073 seconds. However, on lap 22, Lotterer lost a small amount of time to Bird when he locked his tyres into turn eight. Lotterer narrowly avoided glancing the wall but later caught back up. With electrical energy running low on the next lap, Bird tried again to pass Vergne by braking later than him on the right entering turn one but locked his front tyres and turned back onto the racing line.

Vergne, Bird and Lotterer were separated by half a second when they made their mandatory pit stops to change into a second car at the end of lap 24. Di Grassi and Buemi's strategy allowed the duo to complete two more laps in first and second. Rosenqvist made a prior pit stop and was being lapped by the top two but did not yield to di Grassi, allowing Buemi to close up but could not overtake him. Mortara led for one lap after conserving the most electrical energy out of any driver as he sought to gain positions after his qualifying performance. After the pit stops, Vergne retained first place and extended his lead over Bird by more than a second. Lotterer remained in third despite his pit stop lasting two seconds longer. Di Grassi demoted Engel to fifth by having a faster pit stop and he held off Engel upon rejoining the circuit. Abt began to duel Buemi for sixth on lap 30. Rosenqvist took ninth from López by moving between him and the turn ten inside wall on that lap. Rosenqvist braked later than Turvey and took eighth from him on the outside at turn one.

Meanwhile, di Grassi's electrical energy advantage allowed him to pull away from Engel whom Buemi and Abt battled with and recorded the race's fastest lap on lap 34 of 1 minute, 2.367 seconds to earn one point. On lap 35, Lotterer had drawn close enough to Bird to affect an overtake on him. Lotterer turned left and passed Bird entering turn ten but locked his tyres midway through by missing his braking point. The two collided since Bird's path was blocked. Lotterer sustained rear wing damage but continued. This allowed di Grassi to close up and overtake Bird on the inside entering turn one the lap after. Entering the final ten laps, most drivers had 40 per cent of electrical energy available which meant everyone had to use 4 per cent for the rest of the race due to the short length of the track but the possibility of some not reaching the end increased as Bird had just 22 per cent left with six laps to go. On lap 41, a short yellow flag phase was prompted when López hit Mortara at turn ten and the latter drifted into a barrier but reversed to continue driving. Abt used his FanBoost to overtake Buemi on the inside into turn one for sixth three laps later and then unsuccessfully attempted to pass Engel.

Lotterer and di Grassi drew closer to race leader Vergne as they distanced fourth-placed Bird in the closing laps. Di Grassi came close to passing Lotterer through turns eight and nine on lap 46 and the manner of Lotterer's defensive manoeuvres drew an angry response from di Grassi over the radio and both drivers lost momentum. On the final lap, Abt lost fifth to Buemi at the turn nine chicane in a manoeuvre that damaged Abt's sidepod and the latter narrowly avoided going into a wall. Abt stopped, steered 360 degrees and re-accelerated. This left him without enough electrical energy to cross the finish line at full racing speed and his car shut down. Unchallenged in the final third of the race, Vergne extended his lead to almost five seconds and slowed across the line with a small amount of electrical energy for his third victory of the season. Meanwhile, Lotterer ran out of electrical energy at turn nine and di Grassi took second from him. Bird sought a way past the slow Lotterer but he could not do so due to the tight circuit and rammed into the rear of his car. The crash littered debris on the track, damaging Bird's front-left wheel, but took third while Lotterer's rear wing was cracked. Engel took his best career finish in fourth and positions five to ten were taken by Buemi, Lotterer, Abt. Rosenqvist, Turvey and López. Heidfeld, d'Ambrosio, Mortara, Lynn, Evans, Prost and Ma were the final classified finishers. Piquet was the only other retirement when he stopped with a loose seat belt on lap 32.

Post-race
The top three drivers appeared on the podium to collect their trophies and spoke to the media in a later press conference. Vergne declared his victory as the "most emotional" of his career up to that point, "I can't find words, It's an incredible feeling, by far my best victory. If there was a race I wanted to win this year it was clearly Paris". He reserved praise for his team, thanked them for their work over the weekend and affirmed they would continue to work hard for the rest of the season. Second-placed di Grassi spoke of his happiness at another podium and maintaining his record of scoring points after repairs were made to his car to improve its reliability, "I had another good run today. It was a shame about qualifying, as I missed super pole by five-thousandths of a second and it was super tight." Bird complimented Vergne on the way he ran the race but stated his feeling he was sometimes being put into Lotterer's path, "If he could use him, I'm sure he would've liked to have used him to create a buffer as he is fighting me for the title currently."

The stewards deemed Lotterer to have caused the final lap collision with Bird and imposed a ten-place grid penalty on him for the Berlin ePrix but did not penalise him for the lap 35 contact with the latter. Bird was vocal in his criticism of Lotterer, telling the press the issue of moving under braking was discussed in the pre-race drivers briefing, and called for the consistent application of penalties, "That is not correct in any form of motorsport and I believe what we saw today was not correct. I had a bit of it in Punta [del Este] and it's too aggressive." Di Grassi said he saw no logic of Lotterer impeding him once his energy had been depleted and warned that such manoeuvres could become common in Formula E. He agreed with Bird's view and wanted the enforcement of improved competitor etiquette and urged the series' governing body, the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, to impose harsher penalties on those deemed to have inadequate driving standards. Lotterer dismissed the criticism towards him and targeted di Grassi in his comments, "I don't know, I was just racing. I don't know what he was complaining about. He actually drove into me twice in this race. I don't care what he says"

Engel scored eleven points prior to the Paris ePrix and stated his career-best fourth-place finish gave him the confidence to aim for the podium at Berlin, "We've always said that if we have a car that enables us to regularly be in top ten, and on good days, when everything comes together, we can fight for the top five, maybe even get on the podium. We had a good day in Paris. We were so close to the podium but we can be happy with P4." Audi team principal Allan McNish revealed Abt declared his intention to overcome the narrow circuit in the team's pre-race briefing. Abt argued Buemi got too close to him on the final lap and stated his feeling he was overly defensive once past. Buemi countered this argument by suggesting Abt left him space to pass on the left. Piquet retired with a seat belt problem for the second successive race. He renewed criticism of Formula E's decision to drop the minimum pit stop time, suggesting the new regulation mandated other drivers to risk too much in shortening the amount of time spent in the pit lane and claimed those running in the top ten refitted their seat belts after the race, "It caused us to get the seatbelts loose at one point when I was adjusting them during the run. They got loose, they opened, and I had to stop."

The consequence of Vergne's victory increased his lead in the Drivers' Championship to 31 points over Bird. Rosenqvist now had 86 points and retained third position despite his eighth-place finish while Buemi kept fourth position with 70 points. Di Grassi's second-place finish moved him three positions from eighth to fifth with 58 points. In the Teams' Championship, Techeetah moved further ahead of Virgin by 19 points. Audi overtook Mahindra for third position, while Jaguar scored no points but retained fifth place with four races left in the season.

Q: Unable to ping broadcast address
*

*Host address: 192.168.0.13

*Network: 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0

*Router: Cisco DPC3825 DOCSIS 3.0 Gateway (user manual)

My home network uses the 192.168.0.0 /24 network for my (mostly wireless) devices. On many other networks I frequent, I'll ping the applicable broadcast address to show all currently live devices in my (Windows 7 x64) results of arp -a. Pinging the broadcast address of a network helps me to identify devices that are currently communicating on the same network.
In my home network, I'm losing 100% of the packets sent to 192.168.0.255. Thus arp -a does not show me all of the devices that are live on my network. All devices connect directly to my router and then out to my ISP.
Why am I unable to ping the broadcast address in this network? Logging into the router directly to check the DHCP Client Table is inconvenient.
Update: These ping attempts are made from a computer directly connected to the router via ethernet. I've attempted the same ping attempts from multiple wireless devices to no avail.

A: It has already been discussed that answering pings to broadcast addresses is not considered good practice anymore. You could alternativly ping the all-host multicast group which uses the IP 224.0.0.1. In theory every multicast capable host should respond to a ping to this IP, but I've heard of hosts not doing so.
For more on multicast addresses read the tldp: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Multicast-HOWTO-2.html
Another option would be to just unicast all IP addresses in your network segment which can easily be achieved by using built-in tools on most systems. I only really know GNU/Linux and MS Windows, so I can only give you examples for those systems.
GNU/Linux
for lastoctet in $(seq 254); do ping -c 1 192.168.0.$lastoctet; done
MS Windows
for /l %i in (1,1,254) do ping -n 1 192.168.0.%i
Not as easy as ping 192.168.0.255 but it does work under most circumstances.

A: I think that the times when operating systems responded to broadcasts pings are long gone. As far as I know every modern operating system ignores those requests as a security measure to avoid broadcast storms.
The default in Linux:
$ sysctl net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts
net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts = 1

If you want to discover machines you'll have to resort to unicast ping (nmap, ping loop or other means), but note, there can be machines configured to always ignore ping requests.

A: With reference to what #Jorge Nerin said:
Set the ignore parameter to 0.
ie;
$ sysctl net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts
net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts=0

Do this with root privilege on all devices in the network. It will allow responses to broadcast pings.
PS : doing this may pose a security threat.

Millennials find golf not up to par
All StoriesClayton Soileau 02/25/2018 0

Millennials just aren't swinging the sticks like many generations before them.
According to the National Golf Foundation (NGF) Millennial's represent roughly 25 percent of the U.S. population, and in 2014 golf saw 200,000 Millennials step away from the sport.
In 2016 the golf world took a hit as nearly 230 golf courses closed, while only 10 new facilities opened. Traditional golf is on a downward spiral and some say Millennials are to blame.
"Personally I don't really like golf for a couple of reasons. It takes way to long, and it's also really expensive," said Julia Eyer, 22, a University of Arizona student. "I also hate that there is such a strict dress code. I think we should be able to play in whatever we want."
Youth just doesn't feel comfortable playing golf the way it used to be played, according to Don Rea Jr., member of the PGA Board of Directors.
"At our club were trying to bring in some new young faces to the sport, so we've tried to make the game more fun by adding speakers to every cart," said Rea. "We want golf to look like America, and that means getting young people of different genders, demographics, and backgrounds to come and try the sport."

Yes, golf is riddled with rules, dress codes, and frustrating under tones, but have no fear; the evolution of golf is here.
As Millennials become uninspired with classic 18-hole golf, companies like Topgolf have found a way to inject life into the game. Topgolf is one of fastest growing companies in America, beginning in 2000 in the United Kingdom, with 3 locations in AZ and as of today having 44 total locations. So what is Topgolf?
Topgolf is essentially a driving range with the touch of an arcade, topped off with a bit of a nightclub. You can wear whatever you want, grab some grub, and for the late night crowd there a full service bar.
"Topgolf is always a great time," said Danny McAtamney, 22, a University of Arizona student. "It's a place where you can take a date, have a guys night out, or if you're into golf you can even look to improve your game."

This innovative driving range seemingly gives its customers everything that traditional golf lacks. According to the NGF traditional golf consists of only 22 percent women. Topgolf has already smashed that number by attracting a clientele of 40 percent women, according to Topgolf officials.
"Golf has always felt like a predominantly white male sport to me, but Topgolf feels like it's welcome to all races, genders and ages," said Eyer.
So what if hitting a golf ball just isn't for you regardless of lights and booze? Footgolf may just be the next be thing to sweep the United States.
Yes golf is expensive and frustrating, but when you replace those overpriced clubs with a simple soccer ball, suddenly you have an enticing game for the youth. Footgolf consists of the same rules as traditional golf on a normal golf course, except it is played with a standard soccer ball and the hole is increased to 21 inches in diameter. Footgolfers usually find themselves walking the course, but for those lazy days you can even take a cart.
In 2011 the American Footgolf League was formed (AFGL), and since its creation well over a hundred courses have sprung up across the U.S. Arizona is home to 12 AFGL approved courses according to the AFGL website.
According to Don Rea Jr., owner of Augusta Ranch Golf Club in Mesa, AZ, he began to offer glow in the dark footgolf on the weekends in order to attract a younger crowd, but also to enhance revenue of his club.
"It's an amazing way for us to fill that time slot when nothing is happening at a golf course as well as entice people into joining Augusta Ranch," said Rea. "It's worked out well, we get around 40 to 60 people in wacky outfits coming to play footgolf every weekend."
"I played soccer years ago in high school, and when I saw this concept of footgolf I thought it was pretty weird, but sort of genius," said Kevin Kenny, 24, avid footgolfer. "I was hooked from the very first time I played."

The company behind Mickey Mouse will open a new nature-inspired, mixed-use resort in 2022 at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida.
It'll be located along Bay Lake between Disney's Wilderness Lodge and Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground.
The upcoming not-yet-named deluxe resort will be designed to complement its natural surroundings. Expect more than 900 hotel rooms and Disney Vacation Club villas, the company's version of time-sharing.
The new resort joins three other projects already in the works at Disney World that, combined, will bring more than 1,700 new hotel rooms and Disney Vacation Club villas to the area over the next four years.

Get a birds-eye view with the high-resolution color orthoimagery in ExpertGPS. Zoom in on any location in the United States to identify trails, plan site visits, or measure crops.
ExpertGPS displays US Geological Survey 1:24K topo maps for the entire United States. The maps have been seamlessly tiled together, so you can print perfect maps, even if your trip crosses a paper map boundary. Draw directly on the maps, and print lat/lon and UTM grids for use in the field.
Call up a street map of any location in the world with the Find Address command.
The Elevation Profile view in ExpertGPS shows a vertical plot of elevation over the course of your trip. Unlike in other software, the Elevation Profile in ExpertGPS is fully interactive - you can zoom in and out to see detail, create a waypoint at the exact high point of the profile, and delete "spikes" caused by poor GPS reception. Click anywhere on the profile, and your position (the yellow triangle) is instantly updated on the map. You can trace a trail off of a topo map and instantly see an elevation profile for your hike.
Tired of GPS receivers that lose signal in dense woods or the "Urban Jungle"? Use the Simplify command to smooth out a tracklog that suffered from poor GPS reception.

The Waypoint List shows all of your waypoints in a grid format. You can sort on any column, and add or remove columns to customize the Waypoint List to show your data just as you want it. Click on any waypoint to highlight it on the map. ExpertGPS has specialized list views for all of your waypoints, routes, tracks, photos, and geocaches.
I receive data from my surveyor, work with it on ExpertGPS, then show results on Google Earth.
Did you ever go back and look at an old waypoint and realize that you have no idea what the cryptic 6-letter name you gave it means? With ExpertGPS, you'll never have that problem. The Edit Waypoint dialog lets you give your important waypoints descriptive labels, and you can choose a real-world type to categorize the object you are marking. Enter as many notes as you want in the description field - ExpertGPS will display them when you hover the mouse over the waypoint on the map. If you have a digital camera, take a photo and link it to the waypoint using the Links &Photos buttons.
Each of the items in ExpertGPS (your waypoints, routes, tracks, shapes, and notes) can be classified by assigning a Type. Once you create Types to describe the real-world objects you are mapping (trails, farm fields, streams, summits, trailheads, etc) you will be able to create professional-looking maps of all of your GPS data. ExpertGPS comes preset with a library of standard map symbols, and you can customize them or create your own to give your maps the perfect look.


All About Why Hepatitis tests may give false results?
Most of the times,the test results for Hepatitis C is definitive but in some rare cases, false positive results occur even when the person is not affected by the virus.
The contrary may also be true in which case, the test may be false negative even when the person is affected.
One needs to have a clear understanding of the subject should such a case occurs.
There are two main types of tests oh Hepatitis C.
Initial test is called ELISA, which is an enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay.
It looks for hep C antibodies.
The other one is a hep C RNA test, which detects the actual presence of virus in the bloodstream.
If one tests positive in ELISA, RNA test is conducted only to confirm the presence of infection as it is a very expensive test.
On an average, one in four people who are affected by HCV, clear the virus on their own.
When tests are done after this recuperating process, the ELISA will be positive while RNA will show negative results. This contradiction occurs as the antibodies may still be present in the bloodstream even after the infection is gone.
Those who test false positive in ELISA as it may pick up wrong antibodies, are likely to continue with the condition for the rest of their lives. In the event of future exposure to Hepatitis C, RNA test would confirm the result.
Those with suppressed immune system are likely to test false negative in ELISA.
In all probability, RNA test will not be recommended in such cases.
It is advisable to go for re-tests if such people are exposed to contracting Hepatitis C in future.
hep C. This is also not a foolproof method as the results may due to different factors and people affected with the virus may have a standard reading.
