Bank Street, known for a time as Bank Lane, was a multi-purpose stadium in Clayton, Manchester, England. It was mostly used for football matches and was the second home ground of Manchester United Football Club (then known as Newton Heath Football Club), after North Road, which they left in 1893. The stadium had a capacity of around 50,000, but the club moved to Old Trafford in 1910 because club owner John Henry Davies believed he could not sufficiently expand the ground.
The stadium was in poor repair towards the end of its life and, shortly after the club moved out to Old Trafford, the main stand at Bank Street blew down in a storm. The site is now occupied by the car park of the Manchester Velodrome, with a plaque on a house wall on Bank Street indicating the presence of the former ground. The site is close to the City of Manchester Stadium, the home of Manchester City Football Club.
Bank Street is a primarily residential street in the West Village part of Greenwich Village in the borough of Manhattan in New York City. It runs for a total length of about 710 metres (2,330 ft) from West Street, crossing Washington Street and Greenwich Street, to Hudson Street and Bleecker Street where it is interrupted by the Bleecker Playground, north of which is Abingdon Square; it then continues to Greenwich Avenue, crossing West 4th Street and Waverly Place. Vehicular traffic runs west-east along this one-way street. As with several other east-west streets in the Far West Village, the three blocks west of Hudson Street are paved with setts.
Bank Street is named for the Bank of New York, which bought eight lots on the street in 1798 and established a branch there. A clerk in the bank's main office on Wall Street had contracted yellow fever, leading the bank to buy land in Greenwich Village in order to have a branch office away from Wall Street where it could conduct business in the event of future emergencies.

VIAe Cigs is yet another newcomer to the electronic cigarette market. However this one is backed by industry experience that dates back to 2008. Based in Charlotte, NC, VIAe offers one of the lowest costs of entry in the industry, with their starter kits priced as low as one pack of cigarettes.
This is about as good as it gets in the cig-alike market on an extremely low budget. VIAe Cigs offers probably the lowest cost to entry at just $7.99 for one rechargeable battery and cartridge. You will, however need to shell out an extra ten bucks for a charger, or grab one of the starter kits for $14.99.
Note: VIAe Cigs is no longer available as they have discontinued their line of ecigs. Please refer to our list of the best e-cigarettes or check out our reviews on the more reliable ecig brands such as V2 eCigs, VaporFi, or Green Smoke.
The ability to save money by switching from smoking is one of the key selling points of electronic cigarettes, in addition to their harm reduction. On their website, VIAe Cigs has starter kits ranging in price from just $7.99 on up to only $14.99. They also offer affordable cartridges in three nicotine levels (0, 1.2% and 2.4%) and disposable e-cigarettes.
Much like the Cigavette Starter Packs, VIAe's two-cartridge kits come in a box almost identical in shape and form to a pack of smokes. They are much more vibrant, however, with an image of the VIAe ecig and logo on the front with a white background and foreground colors representing either tobacco or menthol and its respective nicotine strength. Refill cartridges are sold in boxes of five, and are about the size of a deck of playing cards. Inside, cartridges are individually sealed in a plastic case and wrapped by a foil, similar to a pack of gum.
The cartridges themselves, look about as close as it gets to a cigarette filter. They are wrapped in a dark orange tape with lighter orange speckles and a colored ring around the end, corresponding to their flavor and nicotine strength. The only branding on the entire e-cig is a VIAe logo on the colored ring. Batteries are solid white, with no cigarette-like rings or printing of any kind. The tip is red and glows almost pink when in use.
Sadly, VIAe cartridges only come in traditional tobacco and menthol flavors. Like most e-liquids, they use a blend of propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, flavoring, water and nicotine. On the bright side, their tobacco is one of the best tasting I've tried yet! It is incredibly smooth and smokey and doesn't have that fake sweet taste many others have. The menthol option is pretty standard, closely resembling a Newport cigarette with a hint of sweetness.
What VIAe Cigs lacks in flavor and nicotine options, they make up for in a smoke-like experience. Of course the 2.4% is going to be a bit stronger than the 1.2% cartridge. In my opinion the former has a bit more of a leafy taste but a more cig-like feel. The latter is a bit smokier and much smoother. Both provide a substantial amount of vapor, relative to the size of the VIAe device.
The battery life on these little e-cigs is pretty phenomenal. VIAe states they have up to 5 hours of use, which is more than double most other batteries in their class. I was able to get through nearly an entire weekend of moderate vaping on one battery.
Charge time is somewhere around 2 hours, a bit longer than some, but with how low the price is for the single cartridge kit, you can easily have a second one to use while charging. Note that the single cartridge kit does not come with a charger.
For quite possibly the lowest entry cost on the market, you can get started on vaping with a VIAe Cigs starter kit. We would recommend the kit with two cartridges, since it comes with a charger. Their cheapest kits are essentially the lowest priced replacement battery I've seen, at only $7.99 for a battery and "free" cartridge! At these prices, I wouldn't have expected the VIAe to deliver much, if any, performance value. However, it offers pretty much one of the closest experiences to actual smoking that I've felt from any electronic cigarette. It would be interesting to see what kind of flavors VIAe Cigs could come up with if they were to try, considering they really hit one out of the park with their traditional tobacco cartridges.
Great price, decent vapor and taste and it looks like a real cigarette. Yep..you have my attention. Now….How do I find these folks to make a purchase? Can't fine their website.


The most agonizing of all waits is that which involves a loved one, or more specifically, the welfare of that person. Wait times in medical situations can be both mentally and physically painful on family members, friends and especially patients, with consequences such as high stress levels and depression.
This holds particularly true for long-distance caregivers which can lead to difficulties with communication, additional expenses and not to mention the emotional burden of caring for someone who is hospitalized far away.
As a result, FamilyPlug have had to come up with creative ways of addressing the problem of family members staying connected with their loved ones. In its attempt to tackle this problem, the healthcare company approached QPSOFTWARE to conceptualize, design and develop from the ground up an iOS and Android application which allowed patients in coma or persistent vegetative states to receive video/audio messages or pictures from their friends and family.
From inception to completion, QPSOFTWARE conceived a native application to transport the user into an affectionate, unobtrusive and efficient way to connect unconscious and immobilized patients with their loved ones.
Indeed, messages are delivered to the patients on pre-selected hours, hence allowing them to receive support from their families only when judged appropriate by the medical staff. Also, downloaded messages are automatically played on the patients' device, therefore permitting their loved ones to support them on a regular basis while free of assistance and planning.


After a 35-day partial government shutdown that prompted the House speaker to postpone Donald Trump's State of the Union address, the President finally arrived Tuesday night on Capitol Hill. With another shutdown deadline looming, the president has few options for getting Congress to fund a border wall, and he risks further alienating his party if he tries to circumvent lawmakers by declaring a national emergency instead.
US President Donald Trump shakes hands with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
"You're also going to see the president call on Congress and say, 'Look, we can either work together and get great things done or we can fight each other and get nothing done.' And frankly, the American people deserve better than that".
Mr Trump continued to push his wall in a Tuesday morning tweet ahead of his evening remarks, noting that the Pentagon has sent more troops to the United States southern border. "We can bridge old divisions, heal old wounds, build new coalitions, forge new solutions and unlock the extraordinary promise of America's future".
Mr Trump's speech should also mention what issues he plans to focus on ahead of the 2020 election.
With hundreds of thousands of Americans going unpaid, Mr Trump ultimately agreed to re-open the government for three weeks to allow negotiations on border security to continue. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) privately cautioned Trump last week that doing so could divide the GOP and told the president that Congress might pass a resolution disapproving an emergency declaration.
Mr Trump also will address foreign policy, including support for an effort to coax Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro into leaving power and declaring the Islamic State militant group all but defeated.
Pelosi essentially barred Trump from delivering the State of the Union in the House Chamber until the shutdown ended.

Catherine Keane Gilhuly
Professor of Classical Studies
Interests include gender, sexuality, and the erotics of place in the ancient world, as well as using Classics to foster interdisciplinary discussion.
My research interests are sex and gender in Greek literature. In my book, The Feminine Matrix of Sex and Gender in Classical Athens, and in various articles I have written, I examine the way that literary depictions of sex and gender provide insight into larger issues, revealing cultural, political, and economic dynamics. For the ancient Greeks, gender represented an elemental notion of hierarchy, yet this dynamic was fraught with anxiety, nuance, complication. As such, gender was a useful representational scheme for delicate negotiations of power in a variety of arenas. I do not seek to reconstruct the real life experiences of men and women in antiquity, but rather to understand how gender operates in the collective imagination, and then to determine the relationship of this discourse to lived experience.
I teach ancient Greek, ancient literature in translation, and occasionally Latin. In the classroom, I try to instill an enduring and independent interest in Classics in my students, to inspire engagement in critical analysis, and to model a standard of rigorous discipline. While I realize that not all students will want to pursue Classics extensively, I hope to suggest to them the range of learning available in this field, demonstrating the array of disciplines that classical scholarship informs and enhances—literature, philosophy, history, medicine and archaeology. I feel most successful when students tell me that their exposure to Classics taught them to think differently.
Currently, I am working on a new book, entitled Landscapes of Desire: The Erotics of Place in the Classical Athenian Imagination. In this project, I am trying to think about how a place gets a reputation. I examine passages where various sexual behaviors are given geographical and cultural parameters, examining how and why Athenians linked certain sexual practices to a particular ethnicity, or place. I focus on the sexual reputations of Sparta, Lesbos and Corinth in particular, since these regions seem to have attained especially strong symbolic associations with very particular sexual cultures.

Google unveils new Nexus tablets and phone
by David Goldman @DavidGoldmanCNN October 29, 2012: 1:40 PM ET
Google's new Nexus devices come in three sizes: small (the Nexus 4 phone), medium (the Nexus 7 tablet) and large (the Nexus 10 tablet).
It's gadget season, and Google wants in on all the fun that Microsoft and Apple have been having.
Google (GOOG) unveiled a new "Nexus" phone, tablet and Android operating system on Monday. Its goal is wrest back some of the attention that Windows 8, Surface, the iPad, iPad mini and iPhone 5 have gotten over the past several weeks.
The Nexus 4 is the fourth annual "Google phone," designed by the search giant and manufactured by one of its Android partners -- this time, LG. Google didn't say much about the device, other than that it has the latest quad-core mobile processor (that's fast), and a 4.7-inch screen (really big).
Google's Nexus phones have never sold particularly well, but this time around Google is trying something bold. For $299, customers can buy a Nexus 4 without a two-year contract. That's quite cheap for an "unlocked" high-end smartphone. An unlocked iPhone 5, by comparison, costs $650.
Apple's iPad Mini event in 90 seconds
The base model Nexus 4 comes with 8 gigabytes of storage, half the typical amount for a smartphone. A 16 GB phone is available for $349. Both will go on sale on Nov. 13 online at the Google Play store. T-Mobile customers can also get a 16 GB version with a two-year contract for $199.
The Nexus also works on AT&T (T), which uses a similar network technology, but it isn't compatible with Verizon's network or Sprint's, according to a Google spokesman.
The search leader also announced a new 10-inch tablet, dubbed the Nexus 10. With 300 pixels per inch, the Samsung device has the highest-resolution screen for any tablet, Google claims, including the iPad with Apple's Retina display. Apple (AAPL) says the iPad sports a 264-pixels-per-inch screen.
The Nexus 10 allows for multiple user accounts, so that a family can share the device and keep separate apps and settings for each user. It also has stereo speakers and a standard tablet battery that lasts for nine hours.
The price tag is competitive: The 16 GB version will go on sale on the Google Play store Nov. 13 for $399, and a 32 GB version will be available for $499. Comparable iPads are each $100 more expensive.
Google also unveiled an update to its Nexus 7 tablet, which the company unveiled in June. A new 32 GB version of the seven-inch Asus device is now available with AT&T's 3G-HSPA+ service -- which AT&T brands as "4G" -- for $299.
"We think today's devices offer the very best that money can buy," Android chief Andy Rubin said in a blog post.
The Android software that runs Google's devices also got a minor update on Monday. New features include Photo Sphere, a 360-degree photo-taking app and wireless streaming support for Qualcomm's (QCOM) Miracast wireless displays. It also offers a keyboard that doesn't require typing: "Gesture Typing" lets users glide their fingers over the letters they want to type.
Google Now, an app that surfaces important information from e-mail, calendars and social networks, added support for flight information notifications, restaurant reservations, hotel confirmations and shipping details, in addition to nearby attractions like movies times at local theaters.
A launch event had been planned in New York, but it was canceled due to Hurricane Sandy. Google announced the devices in a blog post instead.
Microsoft (MSFT) will be holding a Windows Phone 8 launch event in San Francisco on Monday.
CNNMoney (New York) First published October 29, 2012: 1:28 PM ET

Q: Short logcat on Android 13 I'm seeing a small amount of logcat entries for my app since Android 13. I can usually only see a few minutes before plugging the phone in to check the logcat. If I leave it plugged in it doesn't clear and I can see as far back as I could when I first plugged it in.  It's as if something is clearing the logcat. I have increased the log buffer size to 4M and then 8M and it's still the same. I should be able to see logcat entries from the previous day with such big log buffers. It's also the same whether checking the logcat from Android Studio or from the phone itself with a logcat reader app.
What should I check to solve this?

Home Radio News Arbitron PPM battle is over sample, not technology
Arbitron PPM battle is over sample, not technology
Minority broadcasters see questions about Arbitron's PPM system to be of existential importance. In the first half of a hearing on PPM, the technology was not called into question so much as the survey sample, particularly when it comes to recruiting and retaining young members of minority groups. Also, the MRC's George Ivie detailed just what Arbitron needs to do to get the service accredited.
Arbitron's Michael Skarzynski was the center of attention of a panel seated by Edolphus Towns' (D-NY) House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Other panelists included Media Rating Council's Ivie, Univision's Ceril Shagrin and MMTC's David Honig.
The tone of the hearing was set right off the bat by Towns, who called Arbitron a "monopolistic company" that was essentially unregulated. "When the cat's away the mice will play. In this case the cat hasn't been seen for years," he observed.
Skarzynski said that Arbitron had faith in its technology and methodology, and insisted it was listening to and implementing many of the suggestions it has been getting from clients and MRC alike. He agreed that radio was facing severe challenges, but suggested that the recession and the high debt service carried by many radio companies were to blame more than the coincidental implementation of PPM.
Honig countered that many minority broadcasters were coping with and succeeding despite many challenges for years, only to suddenly go over a cliff when PPM came on line and sent many ratings performances downward. "That's about as clear a case of causation that you can see," he said.
Skarzynski contended that other non-ethnic formats – he mentioned religion and talk specifically – also seemed to suffer ratings declines and suggested that it was simply part of the switch from the recall-based diary method and the real listening measured by PPM.
Shagrin noted that recruitment of panelists to be part of the sample was the main problem, and until that is fixed there will be no improvement in the ratings results. She testified that historically members of ethnic minorities are difficult to recruit for such purposes, and the difficulty is exponentially increased when searching for young ethnics. She further argued that even when Arbitron gets the percentage of minorities it wants, the ones it gets are often not at all representative of the minority population in general.
Ranking Member Darrell Issa (R-CA) was the lone Republican actively participating in the hearing. He asked all witnesses if the PPM technology was in dispute, and determined that in general it was not, although Honig did mention that the device occasionally will pick up a passive station presence, as when a PPM-holder is near a radio station being played by a business establishment or one belonging to somebody else.

Changing Players – Unchanging Rules of the Game
First-Past-The-Post
dir="ltr">With elections over in the four Hindi-speaking states, curtains have been drawn on one great media entertainment for the time being. The media have always treated our elections as a great game. The use of the expression "semifinal" is symbolic. But one thing is certain. There is no 'semifinal' or 'final' in a democracy. This is a continuing saga which will never attain finality, and history will never end.
The notion of 'final' has two fatal flaws. First, it assumes that the end goals of politics are Lok Sabha election and prime ministership. Increasingly, control of the Union has no bearing on people's lives. States are where the action is, as most things that matter are determined there. The media's obsession with power games in Delhi is somewhat anachronistic. Second, 'final' is ominously reminiscent of Hitler's 'final solution'! No matter who occupies South Block, our democratic process will continue to evolve, and no party or coalition can exercise a monopoly of power.
In the immediate context, the verdicts in these states mean three things. First, the NDA government has been further strengthened. The overwhelming victory of BJP in Madhya Pradesh and confortable majorities in Rajasthan and Chattisgarh give the Union government a lot more room for manoevere. Second, anti-incumbency continues to be a strong factor in most states. Delhi is an exception for a variety of reasons; and it is too small and atypical to count. MP also shows how the gulf between style and substance is punished by voters. Third, there will be great pressure on the prime minister to seek dissolution of Lok Sabha immediately. While the temptation is understandable, one should remember that the four states which went to polls together account for only 72 Lok Sabha seats. The real contention will in AP, where BJP's ally TDP is fighting against anti-incumbency, and in UP where BJP is not well-placed. These two states account for 123 MPs.
These elections have reinforced several messages about our democracy. As seen repeatedly before, people's verdicts cannot be predicted until the polling is over. And there are no national verdicts, or great waves. Women leaders are accepted increasingly in their own right. Until the 70's, Nandini Satpathy was the only major woman leader who rose to high office without dynastic politics or male patronage. Now Uma Bharati and Mamata Banerjee are leaders in their own right. Even Jayalalitha, Mayawati, Sheila Dixit and Vasundhara Raje, while they owe their political careers to family connections or male patronage, have established themselves as mass leaders.
One important outcome is that growth and governance have become electoral issues in a big way. There are no serious ideological differences between major parties in terms of economic management. Therefore competence in delivery has become the central issue. Politics has become increasingly plebiscitary. Despite the Westminster model, our elections and campaigns are centered around the leaders. Therefore Shiela Dixit, Madanlal Khurana, Ashok Gehlot, Vasundhara Raje, Digvijay Singh, Uma Bharati, and Ajit Jogi have become the issues, often disregarding their party labels. Party labels have anyway become unimportant as all major parties adopt the same policies. And almost any candidate of either party could be in the other camp!
In general, anti-establishment feelings still dominate voters' responses. Half the incumbent legislators are not returned to office, no matter which party wins. And parties in power generally are at a disadvantage. This shows the voters' deep disenchantment with the nature of politics and their yearning for change. Parties have not yet come to terms with this volatility of voting behaviour, and have not developed a constructive and sane response to people's urges. That is why, even when legislators are unseated and governments change, we get more of the same. There is only a change of players, and no change in the rules of the game.
Some of the recent scams illustrate this unhappy feature of our politics. The Telgi stamp scam has once again established the links between politics, bureaucracy, crime and corruption. The Judeo sting operation again showed graphically the links between political power and money. The CAT question paper leakage by Ranjit Singh is another classic illustration of our political and governance malaise. News reports indicate that he made about Rs.100 crores a year, and more pertinently, his desire was to become a MP! Had he not been caught fortuitously, he almost certainly would have found patronage of a major party and fulfilled his ambition.
These scams once again remind us that there is inexhaustible appetite for illegitimate funds in our political process. With economic liberalization, some of the traditional avenues of corruption have been closed. But as the demand continued unabated, newer and more dangerous avenues are opened. That is why the nexus between crime, big money and politics is stronger today than ever before. Politics has become big business demanding huge, illegitimate investments and the system can only be sustained with multiple returns by abusing public office and subverting all institutions and crime investigation. The recent political funding reforms can only address the needs for legitimate campaign by increasing supply of accountable funds. But the illegitimate funds and corruption cannot be curbed until we curb the demand itself. This demand side management requires a redefinition of victory and changes in the electoral rules of the game.
In our first-past-the-post system of election, the candidate who manages to obtain more votes than any other rival is elected. All other votes have no value. Given that definition of victory, parties and candidates are compelled to resort to all tricks of the trade – vote buying, muscle power, polling irregularities – to somehow 'win'. Since decent candidates not resorting to these tricks rarely win, parties increasingly attract undesirable candidates. That is why while the overall verdict in a state may appear stunning, and does usually reflect the broad public opinion, the picture at the constituency level is dismal. No matter who is elected locally, people are certain that things will not really change. There cannot be good governance as long as crooked means and undesirable candidates are the inevitable methods deployed for maximizing the constituency vote. That is why despite increasing talk of good governance, parties are failing to deliver on their promises.
That is what our elections increasingly presage. As long as victory is dependent upon a plurality of votes in a constituency, politics will be captive to crime, big money and local fiefdoms. Parties are helpless in breaking this nexus, and honest and honorable people shun politics or find it difficult to survive. We need alternative modes of representation, which can cleanse our politics and bring about real change with elections. Politics as plunder has reached a dead end.


There are few disciplines that emphasise precision quite like the world of law. Every single word has to be accurate and every clause needs to be strictly upheld. The stakes are a lot higher, too, when you're dealing with multiple borders. And anything less than precision can mean the difference between losing and winning a legal case. There's also the factor of being subject to deadlines and filing due dates in multiple languages.
It may seem cost effective to handover your legal translation services to your staff but do think about going down this route very carefully as it can end up costing you a fair deal.
Possessing fluency isn't enough. Legal translation services will ensure that their translators are native speakers of the target language. This helps with detecting cultural expressions and any other regional linguistic nuances native to the languages you want documents translating into. This is especially important when translating something like a record of testimony or emotional deposition.
It is also important that translators have the necessary legal training and this is where legal translation services can help. A suitable linguist will have the native familiarity with local codes, laws and regulations in order to handle your projects.
This is particularly helpful for large translation initiatives where corporations and their documents tend to undergo intense scrutiny, especially those involved in Foreign Corrupt Practices Act investigations and other compliance programs.
In order to ensure compliance and protect your firm's reputation, doesn't it make sense to contract legal translation services who have the in-house expertise for any branch of law you may require? It sure does.
To spare your firm any serious damage, entrust your foreign language materials with a reputable legal translation services company. They will be able to centrally store and manage your content with the help of a translation management system that they will be able to access at any time. You will also be able to generate on-demand quality reports on a variety of factors.
Furthermore, when it comes to cost savings, translation memory software greatly helps to reduce your spend by searching all the stored up translated content and making use of previously translated segments at a reduced rate. This also helps to make the translation process quicker.
Today's technologies help to streamline translation project and are of particular use and relevance for legal professionals. They help towards increasing employee time efficiencies and possess a stronger ability to adapt to changing timelines and content volumes as well as cost controls. All very good reasons why translation technology makes fantastic business sense for successful legal translations.
Choosing to work with a reputable legal translation service provider can become a firm's most time and cost efficient strategy. Make sure that the language service provider you choose has both the technologies and expertise that align with your unique legal translation requirements.

Home > Thought Leadership > Can AI be ethical?
We hear about struggles to decide ethics of driverless cars, such as who they aim to hit or avoid in a sudden risk scenario, but what about ethics in the workplace?
Most people at work will be more affected by Artificial Intelligence in the future than they realise.
Employers and HR professionals should not imagine they will have a clear run at transforming workplaces and introducing technologies aimed at productivity and competitiveness, but which involve more intrusive controls of employees and contractors.
Globally trade unions are well aware of the risks workers face. UNI Global Union, the Swiss based union representing over 20 million workers from over 150 countries they say, is aiming at using its considerable influence to achieve a just transition to the future of work. It has produced the Top 10 Principles for Ethical Artificial Intelligence, which gives workers and unions material to inform their position with employers using AI.
It is known that AI is already displacing workers, and UNI Global is looking for a global convention to give a viable guarantee for human survival.
It is indeed totally possible that trade unions are going to gain from using AI themselves, and will offer better services at lower cost to members. Additionally they may stand to gain from more member recruitment as workers face incessant restructuring towards technologies taking over jobs.
The big demands are for transparency, "black box" recording of decisions, integrity of purpose serving People and Planet, human not robot responsibility, and protecting fundamental freedoms including lifelong learning opportunities to remain employable. These demands are to cover casual labour as well as typical employment, and are said to need a global governance mechanism.
These global union principles fit alongside the Future of Work Initiative of the International Labour Organisation, which plans the presentation of its Global Commission Report and Recommendations in January 2019 to be discussed at the Centenary Session of the ILO in June.
HR professionals and all corporate leaders need to be alert to the deep concerns that will be increasing about the use of AI and other technologies that disrupt work and potentially the livelihoods of millions across the world over coming years. There may be many situations that employers manage transformation successfully and utilise technology to stay competitive.
However, the chances are that more heavily unionised workplaces will be gearing up to resist displacement by AI and robots, and unions across the world will be increasingly deploying their own ever improving use of technology to stimulate and inform workers via social media to organise against job losses or unduly intrusive workplace technologies.


[N] = weeknum(D) returns the week in year. The weeknum function considers the week containing January 1 to be the first week of the year.
[N] = weeknum(___,W,E) returns the week in year using the optional input arguments for W and E. The weeknum function considers the week containing January 1 to be the first week of the year.
Determine the week of the year using a serial date number.
Determine the week of the year using a character vector.
Determine the week of the year using a datetime array.
The first week of the year must have at least four days in it. For example, January 8, 2004 was a Thursday. The European standard is used because the first week of the year is the first week longer than three days.
You can also use weeknum with datenum.
The default start day of the week is Sunday. Every day after, and including the first Sunday of the year (04-Jan-2004), returns 2 denoting the second week. In this case, the first of week of the year started before January 1, 2004. You can also use weeknum with datenum and specify a D value of 5 to indicate that the weeks start on Thursday.
The first week of the year that has four or more days, based on the specified start day, is considered week one (even if this is not the first week in the calendar). Any day falling in (or before) this week is given a week number of 1.
Date to determine week in year, specified as a serial date number, date character vector, or datetime array.
Serial date numbers can be a matrix. Date character vectors can be specified as a one-dimensional cell array of character vectors. All the date character vectors must have the same format.
Day a week begins, specified as an integer or a vector of integers from 1 through 7.
The weeknum function considers the week containing January 1 to be the first week of the year.
Flag indicates if week of year display is European standard, specified as 1 (to use the European standard) or 0 (not to use the European standard).
The European standard considers first week of year to be first week longer than three days, offset by the given week's start day.
Week number of the year, given D, returned as a numeric value, given D, a serial date number, date character vector, or datetime array. If D is a one-dimensional cell array of character vectors, then weeknum returns a column vector of M week numbers, where M is the number of character vectors in D.
If the optional input arguments W and E are defined, the week of the year is in the European standard.

Q: Xcode 6.1.1, Yosemite, cannot add iOS device for testing Since updating to Xcode 6.1, I cannot add any iOS devices to run on. Clicking add in the device window only asks to install more simulators. Itunes is 'seeing' the devices connected to the computer, but not Xcode.
Normally the devices I have on hand are an ipad2 running ios 7 and an older ipod touch running ios 5.1. I have set the build targets in the xcode project to include at least ios7.x but still can't see any device.
I have reviewed all my certificates and provisioning profiles in the developer portal. The ones generated by Xcode 6 seem to all start with "XC:..." If I generate and then download any of the older ones, they are greyed out in the add provisioning profile window from devices in Xcode.
Obviously, its critical that I can run on attached devices. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Ms. Pac-Man, the sequel to the most popular arcade game of all time, is a paradigm for sequels everywhere. While retaining all of the necessary gameplay elements of the original, Ms. Pac-Man adds just enough twists to be distinctly interesting. In fact, although some might argue otherwise, Ms. Pac-Man is by all measures an improvement upon Pac-Man, with multiple level maps and more-complicated artificial intelligence. Ms. Pac-Man for mobile stays true to the form first molded by the arcade edition, maintaining almost all of what was worthwhile about the original. The only major detriment of Ms. Pac-Man on mobile is that you can, for only a little more money, play Ms. Pac-Man for Prizes--the same game with additional benefits.
Ms. Pac-Man takes feminism to a new level.
In Ms. Pac-Man, your objective is to clear the stages and avoid the ghosts, just as you do in every other game in the series. The difference is that the stages change, three times, so that you're not always dealing with the same exact layout. The ghosts are different as well--Sue replaces Clyde as the odd ghost out--and their AI patterns, which were regimented in Pac-Man, are seemingly much more random. All in all, this makes the game slightly tougher and more variable, which is good when you're faced with 255 levels of the same game. Of course, you're probably not going to play all 255 levels, but the change of pace is nice for whatever duration you do happen to play.
The sound effects are fine, although they fail to replicate the chomp noise that the Pac family makes when biting down on every pellet, just like in Pac-Man mobile. Otherwise, the startup and death noises are well replicated. The graphics, too, are very well done, down to Ms. Pac-Man's notorious bow, eyeliner, and Monroe-positioned mole. The one oddity about the game is that the demo loop, which introduces the cast of characters, occasionally lags, even on faster phones like the LG VX7000. This has no impact on the game, but it's strange nonetheless.
Ms. Pac-Man is a worthy adaptation if you've got the Pac-Man fever, but if you can shell out a dollar more, you can treat yourself to Ms. Pac-Man for Prizes, which is the same, but better. No matter what your fancy, you're sure to find your Pac-Man fix on mobile, and you'll be pleasantly surprised with how good the game is, all over again.

When you hear about an inheritance, the subject of inheritance tax comes to mind. What is it and are you required to pay it? According to the HMRC, Inheritance Tax is usually paid on an estate when somebody dies. Some people look for ways to avoid paying Inheritance Tax, or as it is also called, Death Duty.
As Christians we have received an inheritance on which we do not have to worry about paying Inheritance Tax. God, the Father, has qualified us to share in that inheritance.
The Holy Spirit guarantees our inheritance. "The Spirit is God's guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify him." (Ephesians 1:14 NLT).
The inheritance that we have received also includes "every spiritual blessing in Christ" (Ephesians 1:3), and eternal life (1 John 5:11-13). In reality that means that we are richer than the richest person or family on earth! All that is required of us is to believe or trust in, and accept the gift from our triune God, giving him joyful thanks, praising and glorifying him.
Father in heaven, thank you for having qualified us to share in this amazing inheritance. Please enable us to fix our eyes and thoughts on Jesus who has secured it for us, and to walk in the Spirit who is the guarantor of your promise.

Q: How to avoid recompilation of output file in Makefile if all sources are up to date I have a makefile in my c++ project
CC=g++
CFLAGS=-std=c++11 -Wall -pedantic -Wno-long-long -O0 -ggdb -c
SRC=src
SOURCES=main.cpp ... # and all other .cpp files
OBJECTS=$(SOURCES:.cpp=.o)
USERNAME=denisand
LIBS=-lpthread

all: compile

compile: $(OBJECTS)
    $(CC) $^ -o $(USERNAME) $(LIBS)

run:
    ./$(USERNAME)

doc:
    doxygen Doxyfile

main.o: $(SRC)/main.cpp
    $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $< -o $@

%.o: $(SRC)/%.cpp $(SRC)/%.h
    $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $< -o $@

clean:
    rm *.o -R ./doc $(USERNAME)

So it recompiles source files (.o) only if needed, but compiles output file (.exe) every time, which is not desired. Is it possible to avoid this behaviour? I'm not sure if it should be on duty of Makefile or some g++ flag.

A:
So it recompiles source files (.o) only if needed, but compiles output file (.exe) every time, which is not desired. Is it possible to avoid this behaviour?

Yes.

I'm not sure if it should be on duty of Makefile or some g++ flag.

g++ runs if and when make executes a recipe that includes a g++ command.  It is your makefile that should be corrected.
The problem is that your executable is not among the targets you provide rules for or ever ask make to build.  Building that file is merely a side effect of building the phony compile target, so make never even considers whether it is out of date.  Instead, it considers whether compile is out of date, and that will always be the case if there is no such file in the working directory.
Make the executable an actual target.  In fact, I see no reason not to convert the compile rule into a rule for the executable:
Old:

all: compile

compile: $(OBJECTS)
    $(CC) $^ -o $(USERNAME) $(LIBS)

New:
all: $(USERNAME)

$(USERNAME): $(OBJECTS)
    $(CC) $^ -o $@ $(LIBS)

Democratic leaders demand CEOs to prove their health care cost increases
Democratic Commerce Committee chair, Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) and former health care holdout, Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI) have ordered large businesses who say their health care costs will increase under Obamacare, to appear in front of the committee and prove their claims.
As the details of the health care costs trickle out, large companies like AT&T, Verizon, John Deere and Caterpillar began the process of alerting their shareholders of billions in added health care expenses that will affect their bottom line.
This small group of CEOs has been summoned by Democrats to appear in front of a Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations on April 21, 2010. Democratic lawmakers are demanding these corporate CEOs gather their health care documents from this year and prove their "analysis related to the projected impact of health care reform."
The business leaders are also expected to produce any emails or documents related to the impact of health care they circulated throughout their corporate hierarchy.
The inquisition into added health care costs came as a stunning revelation once the President signed the partisan legislation into law.
According to the Commerce Committee, "these assertions appear to conflict with independent analyses, which show that the new law will expand coverage and bring down costs."
Each CEO received a letter from Waxman requesting the documents and their presence in Washington D.C. after the Easter recess.
The letter reads in part; "After the President signed the health care reform bill into law, your company announced that provisions in the law could adversely affect your ability to provide health insurance. AT&T stated in its March 26,2010, filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that it intends to take a charge of approximately $1 billion in the first quarter of 2010."
Many CEOs have implied companies may be forced to reevaluate its health care packages for retirees. Waxman further contends the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), costs were supposed to decrease, not increase costs as AT&T reports.
However AT&T stands by their claim and says they are filing the change in bottom line profits with the Securities and Exchange Commission because laws on the books require large companies inform investors of changes that directly affect the balance sheet.
A Business Week article reports "Companies like AT&T, that have large employee bases, are going to have higher health-care costs and, therefore, lower earnings unless they can negotiate something or offer less to their employees," said Chris Larsen, an analyst at Piper Jaffray & Co. in New York.
The fact that Congress has demanded CEOs who informed their shareholders of the upcoming changes to appear in front of committees is viewed as another form of intimidating businesses to go along with the Obama Administration health package.
According to a recent Bloomberg Poll, only four in 10 Americans support the new health care legislation Obama signed into law last week. These numbers prove that Democrats have an uphill battle ahead of them as the details of the health care plan continue to see the light of day.


Outlined below are some of the diagnostic/monitoring tests and treatments that may be prescribed for you, either through our Dry Eye Care Clinic Treatment Program in Maple Ridge or as individual options.
Artificial Tears - Almost every person with DED will be prescribed tear supplements. However, the long-term goal is to decrease your dependency on them. Your optometrist will likely prescribe iDrop gel eye drops which are preservative-free and contain hyaluronate and glycerol. This makes the drop safe, long lasting and allows them to more completely cover the entire surface of the eye.
Steroid Eye Drops - Regardless of underlying cause of Dry Eye, our optometrists often start a treatment regimen with prescription eye drops to bring the inflammation on the surface of the eye back to "normal". These drops will likely not be a long-term solution and will not be prescribed for every patient.
Eyelid Warm Compress - In-office glandular expression combined with an at home Bruder Mask compress. If your dry eye is caused by meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), this procedure will clear the blocked glands and restore normal function.
Eyelid Cleansing - There is a propensity for bacteria and Demodex mites to accumulate in and around the eyelash and its follicle. They cause subclinical infection and contribute to mucus and inflammatory byproducts in the tear film and oil glands. A foaming cleanser or moistened towelettes should be used as part of a daily eyelid cleansing routine.
Restasis - Is a long-term anti-inflammatory that works differently than steroid eye drops. Restasis helps to keep inflammation at manageable levels which stimulates the natural production of tears. It has an excellent long term safety profile.
Punctal Occlusion - Is a highly effective method to increase tear residence time on the surface of the eye. The plugs reduce the tear outflow or drainage which enhances the effects of the tears that you produce.
iPen Tear Osmolarity Diagnostic - Obtains a sample of your tears to evaluate it for available salts. Osmolarity is now the key diagnostic metric for tracking DED. The device works similarly to a blood sugar glucometer device and its readings for those with diabetes.
