Verses 1-21 The affairs of these families are related very minutely, while (what are called) the great events of states and kingdoms at that period, are not mentioned. The Bible teaches people the common duties of life, how to serve God, how to enjoy the blessings he bestows, and to do good in the various stations and duties of life. Selfish men consider themselves robbed of all that goes past them, and covetousness will even swallow up natural affection. Men's overvaluing worldly wealth is that error which is the root of covetousness, envy, and all evil. The men of the world stand in each other's way, and every one seems to be taking away from the rest; hence discontent, envy, and discord. But there are possessions that will suffice for all; happy they who seek them in the first place. In all our removals we should have respect to the command and promise of God. If He be with us, we need not fear. The perils which surround us are so many, that nothing else can really encourage our hearts. To remember favoured seasons of communion with God, is very refreshing when in difficulties; and we should often recollect our vows, that we fail not to fulfil them.
Verses 22-35 God can put a bridle in the mouth of wicked men, to restrain their malice, though he do not change their hearts. Though they have no love to God's people, they will pretend to it, and try to make a merit of necessity. Foolish Laban! to call those things his gods which could be stolen! Enemies may steal our goods, but not our God. Here Laban lays to Jacob's charge things that he knew not. Those who commit their cause to God, are not forbidden to plead it themselves with meekness and fear. When we read of Rachel's stealing her father's images, what a scene of iniquity opens! The family of Nahor, who left the idolatrous Chaldees; is this family itself become idolatrous? It is even so. The truth seems to be, that they were like some in after-times, who sware by the Lord and by Malcham, ( Zepheniah 1:5 ) ; and like others in our times, who wish to serve both God and mammon. Great numbers will acknowledge the true God in words, but their hearts and houses are the abodes of spiritual idolatry. When a man gives himself up to covetousness, like Laban, the world is his god; and he has only to reside among gross idolaters in order to become one, or at least a favourer of their abominations.
Verses 36-42 If Jacob were willingly consumed with heat in the day, and frost by night, to become the son-in-law of Laban, what should we refuse to endure, to become the sons of God? Jacob speaks of God as the God of his father; he thought himself unworthy to be regarded, but was beloved for his father's sake. He calls him the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac; for Abraham was dead, and gone to that world where perfect love casts out fear; but Isaac was yet alive, sanctifying the Lord in his heart, as his fear and his dread.
Verses 43-55 Laban could neither justify himself nor condemn Jacob, therefore desires to hear no more of that matter. He is not willing to own himself in fault, as he ought to have done. But he proposes a covenant of friendship between them, to which Jacob readily agrees. A heap of stones was raised, to keep up the memory of the event, writing being then not known or little used. A sacrifice of peace offerings was offered. Peace with God puts true comfort into our peace with our friends. They did eat bread together, partaking of the feast upon the sacrifice. In ancient times covenants of friendship were ratified by the parties eating and drinking together. God is judge between contending parties, and he will judge righteously; whoever do wrong, it is at their peril. They gave a new name to the place, The heap of witness. After this angry parley, they part friends. God is often better to us than our fears, and overrules the spirits of men in our favour, beyond what we could have expected; for it is not in vain to trust in him.
Genesis 31:1-21 . ENVY OF LABAN AND SONS.
1. he heard the words of Laban's sons--It must have been from rumor that Jacob got knowledge of the invidious reflections cast upon him by his cousins; for they were separated at the distance of three days' journey.
2. And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban--literally, "was not the same as yesterday, and the day before," a common Oriental form of speech. The insinuations against Jacob's fidelity by Laban's sons, and the sullen reserve, the churlish conduct, of Laban himself, had made Jacob's situation, in his uncle's establishment, most trying and painful. It is always one of the vexations attendant on worldly prosperity, that it excites the envy of others ( Ecclesiastes 4:4 ); and that, however careful a man is to maintain a good conscience, he cannot always reckon on maintaining a good name, in a censorious world. This, Jacob experienced; and it is probable that, like a good man, he had asked direction and relief in prayer.
3. the Lord said . . . Return unto the land of thy fathers--Notwithstanding the ill usage he had received, Jacob might not have deemed himself at liberty to quit his present sphere, under the impulse of passionate fretfulness and discontent. Having been conducted to Haran by God ( Genesis 28:15 ) and having got a promise that the same heavenly Guardian would bring him again into the land of Canaan, he might have thought he ought not to leave it, without being clearly persuaded as to the path of duty. So ought we to set the Lord before us, and to acknowledge Him in all our ways, our journeys, our settlements, and plans in life.
4. Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah--His wives and family were in their usual residence. Whether he wished them to be present at the festivities of sheep shearing, as some think; or, because he could not leave his flock, he called them both to come to him, in order that, having resolved on immediate departure, he might communicate his intentions. Rachel and Leah only were called, for the other two wives, being secondary and still in a state of servitude, were not entitled to be taken into account. Jacob acted the part of a dutiful husband in telling them his plans; for husbands that love their wives should consult with them and trust in them ( Proverbs 31:11 ).
6. ye know that . . . I have served your father--Having stated his strong grounds of dissatisfaction with their father's conduct and the ill requital he had got for all his faithful services, he informed them of the blessing of God that had made him rich notwithstanding Laban's design to ruin him; and finally, of the command from God he had received to return to his own country, that they might not accuse him of caprice, or disaffection to their family; but be convinced, that in resolving to depart, he acted from a principle of religious obedience.
14. Rachel and Leah answered--Having heard his views, they expressed their entire approval; and from grievances of their own, they were fully as desirous of a separation as himself. They display not only conjugal affection, but piety in following the course described--"whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do" ( Genesis 31:16 ). "Those that are really their husbands' helpmeets will never be their hindrances in doing that to which God calls them" [HENRY].
17. Then Jacob rose up--Little time is spent by pastoral people in removing. The striking down the tents and poles and stowing them among their other baggage; the putting their wives and children in houdas like cradles, on the backs of camels, or in panniers on asses; and the ranging of the various parts of the flock under the respective shepherds; all this is a short process. A plain that is covered in the morning with a long array of tents and with browsing flocks, may, in a few hours, appear so desolate that not a vestige of the encampment remains, except the holes in which the tent poles had been fixed.
18. he carried the cattle of his getting--that is, his own and nothing more. He did not indemnify himself for his many losses by carrying off any thing of Laban's, but was content with what Providence had given him. Some may think that due notice should have been given; but when a man feels himself in danger--the law of self-preservation prescribes the duty of immediate flight, if it can be done consistently with conscience.
20. Jacob stole away--The result showed the prudence and necessity of departing secretly; otherwise, Laban might have detained him by violence or artifice.
Genesis 31:22-55 . LABAN PURSUES JACOB--THEIR COVENANT AT GILEAD.
22-24. it was told Laban on the third day--No sooner did the news reach Laban than he set out in pursuit, and he being not encumbered, advanced rapidly; whereas Jacob, with a young family and numerous flocks, had to march slowly, so that he overtook the fugitives after seven days' journey as they lay encamped on the brow of mount Gilead, an extensive range of hills forming the eastern boundary of Canaan. Being accompanied by a number of his people, he might have used violence had he not been divinely warned in a dream to give no interruption to his nephew's journey. How striking and sudden a change! For several days he had been full of rage, and was now in eager anticipation that his vengeance would be fully wreaked, when lo! his hands are tied by invisible power ( Psalms 76:10 ). He did not dare to touch Jacob, but there was a war of words.
26-30. Laban said . . . What hast thou done?--Not a word is said of the charge ( Genesis 31:1 ). His reproaches were of a different kind. His first charge was for depriving him of the satisfaction of giving Jacob and his family the usual salutations at parting. In the East it is customary, when any are setting out to a great distance, for their relatives and friends to accompany them a considerable way with music and valedictory songs. Considering the past conduct of Laban, his complaint on this ground was hypocritical cant. But his second charge was a grave one--the carrying off his gods--Hebrew, "teraphim," small images of human figures, used not as idols or objects of worship, but as talismans, for superstitious purposes.
31, 32. Jacob said, . . . With whomsoever thou findest thy gods let him not live--Conscious of his own innocence and little suspecting the misdeed of his favorite wife, Jacob boldly challenged a search and denounced the heaviest penalty on the culprit. A personal scrutiny was made by Laban, who examined every tent [ Genesis 31:33 ]; and having entered Rachel's last, he would have infallibly discovered the stolen images had not Rachel made an appeal to him which prevented further search [ Genesis 31:34 Genesis 31:35 ].
34. Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel's furniture, and sat upon them--The common pack saddle is often used as a seat or a cushion, against which a person squatted on the floor may lean.
36, 37. Jacob was wroth--Recrimination on his part was natural in the circumstances, and, as usual, when passion is high, the charges took a wide range. He rapidly enumerated his grievances for twenty years and in a tone of unrestrained severity described the niggard character and vexatious exactions of his uncle, together with the hardships of various kinds he had patiently endured.
38. The rams of thy flock have I not eaten--Eastern people seldom kill the females for food except they are barren.
39. That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee--The shepherds are strictly responsible for losses in the flock, unless they can prove these were occasioned by wild beasts.
40. in the day the drought . . . and the frost by night--The temperature changes often in twenty-four hours from the greatest extremes of heat and cold, most trying to the shepherd who has to keep watch by his flocks. Much allowance must be made for Jacob. Great and long-continued provocations ruffle the mildest and most disciplined tempers. It is difficult to "be angry and sin not" [ Ephesians 4:26 ]. But these two relatives, after having given utterance to their pent-up feelings, came at length to a mutual understanding, or rather, God influenced Laban to make reconciliation with his injured nephew ( Proverbs 16:7 ).
44. Come thou, let us make a covenant--The way in which this covenant was ratified was by a heap of stones being laid in a circular pile, to serve as seats, and in the center of this circle a large one was set up perpendicularly for an altar. It is probable that a sacrifice was first offered, and then that the feast of reconciliation was partaken of by both parties seated on the stones around it. To this day heaps of stones, which have been used as memorials, are found abundantly in the region where this transaction took place.
52. This heap be witness--Objects of nature were frequently thus spoken of. But over and above, there was a solemn appeal to God; and it is observable that there was a marked difference in the religious sentiments of the two. Laban spake of the God of Abraham and Nahor, their common ancestors; but Jacob, knowing that idolatry had crept in among that branch of the family, swore by the "fear of his father Isaac." They who have one God should have one heart: they who are agreed in religion should endeavor to agree in everything else.


You need to replace the mail.settings with the proper parameters for your SMTP server. Set mail.settings.login=False if the SMTP server does not require authentication.
and emails will not be sent but logged to the console instead.
At the time of writing web2py does not support attachments and encrypted emails on Google App Engine.
The latter requires the python-pyme package.
Note, to, cc, and bcc each take a list of email addresses.
Following are some additional examples demonstrating the use of mail.send().
If the email body starts with <html> and ends with </html>, it will be sent as a HTML email.
Sending SMS messages from a web2py application requires a third party service that can relay the messages to the receiver. Usually this is not a free service, but it differs from country to country. We have tried a few of these services with little success. Phone companies block emails originating from these services since they are eventually used as a source of spam.
A better way is to use the phone companies themselves to relay the SMS. Each phone company has an email address uniquely associated with every cell-phone number, so SMS messages can be sent as emails to the phone number.
SMSCODES is a dictionary that maps names of major phone companies to the email address postfix. The sms_email function takes a phone number (as a string) and the name of a phone company and returns the email address of the phone.
You have won the second prize, a set of steak knives.
It renders the view "message.html" with the variables defined in the dictionary "context", and it returns a string with the rendered email text. The context is a dictionary that contains variables that will be visible to the template file.
If the message starts with <html> and ends with </html>, the email will be an HTML email.
The same mechanism that is used to generate email text can also be used to generate SMS messages or any other type of message based on a template.
The operation of sending an email message can take up to several seconds because of the need to log into and communicate with a potentially remote SMTP server. To keep the user from having to wait for the send operation to complete, it is sometimes desirable to queue the email to be sent at a later time via a background task. As described in Chapter 4, this can be done by setting up a homemade task queue or using the web2py scheduler. Here we provide an example using a homemade task queue.
where -S app tells web2py to run "mail_queue.py" as "app", -M tells web2py to execute models, and -N tells web2py not to run cron.
Here we assume that the mail object referenced in "mail_queue.py" is defined in a model file in our app and is therefore available in the "mail_queue.py" script because of the -M option. Also notice that it is important to commit any change as soon as possible in order not to lock the database to other concurrent processes.
As noted in Chapter 4, this type of background process should not be executed via cron (except perhaps for cron @reboot) because you need to be sure that no more than one instance is running at the same time.
Note, one drawback to sending email via a background process is that it makes it difficult to provide feedback to the user in case the email fails. If email is sent directly from the controller action, you can catch any errors and immediately return an error message to the user. With a background process, however, the email is sent asynchronously, after the controller action has already returned its response, so it becomes more complex to notify the user of a failure.

Alex Trebek Said He Has Plans To "Drink" And Do Housework After Retiring From 'Jeopardy'
He deserves it.
Stewart CookGetty Images
Alex Trebek's Jeopardy! contract runs out in less than two years, and the longtime host has already figured out how he's going to spend retirement.
Alex, 79, was at the Television Critics Association winter press tour on Wednesday when he was asked what he plans to do when he eventually retires from the show. His answer, per PEOPLE, was short, sweet, and very much to the point: "Drink." Alex doesn't plan to just kick back and booze it up, though. He also said he'll "work around the house."
Alex, who has stage 4 pancreatic cancer, has made it clear he has no plans to retire right now, though. He's said in the past that he's asked directors to give him 30 seconds at the end of his final show to say goodbye to fans (which is the same amount of time Jeopardy! contestants have to finish Final Jeopardy), but don't hold your breath waiting for it. "Keep in mind I'm 79," Alex said. "[But] I don't foresee that 30-second moment coming up in the near future."
Alex also pointed out that thinking about retiring and actually retiring are two totally different things: "When you've been hosting, there are some of you who have been doing your jobs for many years. Some of you two or three decades. When you've been in the same job for that long period of time, it moves you to think at some point about retiring," he said.
But, Alex added, "as long as I feel my skills haven't diminished too much and as long as I'm enjoying spending time with bright people...then I'm going to do it."

A new paper appearing in the Journal of Happiness Studies suggests that wishing strangers happiness can make you happy and reduce anxiety.
Guy Counseling spoke to licensed psychotherapist Jennifer Lawal in Chicago about the research to gain her impressions. "When we hold positive thoughts for others, even for people we don't know, it has a way of lifting our mood while calming our minds. The study makes perfect sense," Lawal said.
1. Loving Kindness Contemplation: This approach involves wishing someone happiness. An eight-word mantra was repeated that literally says, I wish for this person to be happy.
2. Interconnectedness Contemplation: Participants who used this approach thought about possible shared common bonds, hopes, and aspirations they might have with the strangers they encountered.
3. Downward Social Comparison: Using this approach, participants engaged in positive thinking by considering how they might be better off (happier, healthier, etc.) than the folks they encountered.
Just before the students took their walks, researchers recorded their baseline levels of anxiety, happiness, stress, and general feelings of connectedness.
A control group was used as part of the research where participants were told to merely observe the outward appearance of strangers but not meditate or send positive energy.
The results of the study showed that of the three types of contemplations, the students who wished strangers happiness, ("I wish for this person to be happy") reaped the greatest rewards.
What was interesting about this study relates to downward social contemplation (i.e., comparing to others). For these students, the results showed they experienced zero mood-lifting benefits.
In fact, they felt less connected to others and less happy, which may lend credence to the belief that comparing ourselves to others is emotionally and mentally unhealthy.
"Although social comparison theory suggests that downward social comparison should improve mood, this study found that it had no beneficial effects relative to the control condition and was significantly worse than the loving-kindness condition. This brief loving-kindness contemplation worked equally well across several measured individual differences, and is a simple intervention that can be used to reduce anxiety, increase happiness, empathy, and feelings of social connection," reads the study's abstract.
At its core, the participants in this study engaged in what's called the Loving Kindness Meditation (LKM). It literally involves sending warmth, goodwill, and kindness to others using a series of mantras.
Previous research conducted by University of Exeter related to positive thinking, kindness, and self-compassion demonstrated mood lifting benefits and a reduction in anxiety.
So, there you have it, folks. If you are looking to boost your mood, become calmer, and feel more connected to the world, try engaging in positive thinking and tie in a Loving Kindness Meditation.
Do you consciously hold positive thoughts? If so, what benefits have you experienced?


RakshaBandhan is a Hindu Festival, the chaste of love between a brother and a sister is one of the deepest and noblest of human emotions. 'RakshaBandhan' or 'Rakhi' is a special occasion to celebrate this emotional bonding by typing a holy thread around the wrist. This thread, which pulsates with sisterly love and sublime sentiments, is rightly called the 'Rakhi'. It means 'a bond of protection', and RakshaBandhan signifies that the strong must protect the weak from all that's evil.
RakshaBandhan is an ancient festival and has many myths and historic legends linked to it. For many example, the Rajput queens practised the custom of sending rakhi threads to neighbouring rulers as token of brotherhood. On RakshaBandhan sisters tie a Rakhi on her brother's wrist. This symbolizes the sister's love and prayers for the brother's well-being and the brother's lifelong vow to protect her. The festival falls on the full moon day of the Shravan month of the Hindu Iunisolar Calendar.
This ritual not only strengthens the bond of love between brothers and sisters, but also transcends the confines of the family. When a Rakhi is tied on the wrist of close friends and neighbours, it underscores the need for a harmonious social life, where every individual co-exist peacefully as brothers and sisters.
According to one mythological allusion, Rakhi was intended to be the worship of the sea-god Varuna. Hence, offerings of coconut to Varuna, ceremonial bathing and fairs at waterfronts accompany this festival. There are also myths that describe the ritual as observed by Indrani and Yamuna for their respective brothers Indra and Yamun. Once, Lord Indra stood almost vanquished in a long-drawn battle against the demons. Full of remorse, he sought the advice of Guru Brihaspati, who suggested for his sortie the auspicious day of ShravanPurnima. On the day. Indra's wife and Brihaspati tied a scared thread on the wrist of Indra, who then attacked the demon with renewed force and routed him.
Another controversial historical account is that of Rani Karnavati of Chittor and Mughal Emperor Humayun, which dates to 1535 CE. When Rani Karnavati, the widowed queen of the king of Chittor, realised that she could not defend against the invasion by the Sultan of Gujarat. Bahadur Shah, she sent a Rakhi to Emperor Humayun. Touched, the Emperor immediately set off with his troops to defend Chittor. Humayun arrived too late, and Bahadur Shah managed to sack the Rani's fortress. Although contemporary commentators and memoirs do not mention the Rakhi episode and some historians have expressed scepticism about it, it is mentioned in one mid-seventeenth centuaryRajasthani account.
Krishna considered Draupadi his sister. When Krishna cut his finger while beheading Shishupal, Draupadi immediately tore off a piece of her sari and bandages his cut. Krishna said that with this loving act, she wrapped him in debt and he would repay each "thread" when the time arrives. Indeed, whenever Draupadi needed Krishna's protection she fervently prayed for his help, he came to the rescue and gave her unlimited cloth. This is one of the stories of the origin of the RakshaBandhan festival. In the epic Mahabbharat, Draupadi tied a Rakhi to Krishna while Kunti tied her Rakhi to her grandson Abhimanyu, before the Great War.
According to another legend, Yama, the god of Death had not visited his sister Yamuna for 12 years. Yamuna, the goddess of Yamuna River, was sad and consulted Ganga, the goddess of Ganga River. Ganga reminded Yama of his sister, upon which Yama visits her. Yamuna was overjoyed to see her brother, and prepared a bounty of food for Yama. The god Yama was delighted, and asked Yamuna what she wanted to gift. She wished that he, her brother should return and see her again, made river Yamuna immortal.


The artefacts include a notch, scrapers, cobble, hammer stones and pointed pieces. All show signs of use—the stone had been intentionally flaked. Most were made of quartzite and quartz that probably came from the foothills of the Qinling Mountains 5 to 10 km to the south of the site, and the streams flowing from them. Fragments of animal bones 2.12 million years old were also found.
The Chinese Loess Plateau covers about 270,000 square kilometres, and during the past 2.6m years between 100 and 300m of wind-blown dust—known as loess—has been deposited in the area.
Could switchgrass help China's air quality?

Q: How to fix 'min() arg is an empty sequence' python+couchdb error I have to do mosaic application in Python using Django and Couchdb, which are kind of new to me, for my studies. In part where I'm trying to do the mosaic, I got ValueError at 'min' function. However I run out of ideas why it is not working.
I read the couchdb docs, reach some friends who already know a little python.
        rgb_of_tile = list(tile.getdata())
        rgb_of_tile_list = utils.get_average_rgb_as_list(rgb_of_tile)

        returned_tiles = get_tiles(rgb_of_tile_list)

        closest = min(returned_tiles, key=lambda c: (
                (rgb_of_tile_list[0] - c['key'][0]) ** 2 +(rgb_of_tile_list[1] - c['key'][1]) ** 2 + (
                    rgb_of_tile_list[2] - c['key'][2]) ** 2))

Error occurs on variable 'closest', but when I looked at the error I saw that 'returned_tiles'=[ ]. Below is code for that variable. I don't really know why it is not working, as the CouchDB reference-'tiles_url' should work properly
       def get_tiles(rgb_of_tile_list):
         rgb_of_tile_start = [x.__sub__(10) for x in rgb_of_tile_list]
         rgb_of_tile_finish = [x.__add__(10) for x in rgb_of_tile_list]
         tiles_url = "http://images_db_user:pass@localhost:5984/images/_design/view/_view/new-view?start_key=" + str(
    rgb_of_tile_start) + "&end_key=" + str(rgb_of_tile_finish) + "&include_docs=true"
         response = requests.get(tiles_url).json()
         returned_tiles = response['rows']
         return returned_tiles

Box Office Report: "Oblivion" On Top; "42" Strong In Week Two
Welcome back for your weekly recap of all news and notes from this weekend's Box Office totals. To no surprise, it was Tom Cruise and "Oblivion" that led the box office this weekend, and by a rather large margin. This was the only new film opening in wide release, however, so there was little fresh competition.
Last week's big winner, "42", made another strong appearance this week, providing the only other stand-out total of the weekend. Outside of these two titles, the drop-off was significant, and overall, the box office hit its lowest point since mid-March. We can expect one more weekend mini-lull coming up ("The Big Wedding" and "Pain and Gain" open next week), but after that, we're into May, and there are exciting titles every week of the month.
For now, hit the jump to check out the specific totals for each film this weekend!
As was mentioned, it was no surprise at all that "Oblivion" took the top spot this weekend. This action movie starring Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman felt more like a summer blockbuster anyway, so audiences were surely glad to see something like this in April. The film opened with $38.1MM domestically, and can already add to that $112MM internationally (it got a head start overseas). That makes for a grand total of just over $150MM, a number that already looks good for a film with a budget of $120MM. Tom Cruise generally plays quite well around the world, so throwing him in your movie usually means you're in pretty good shape. The film made for the seventh-best all time opening for the month of April, and had the fourth best opening ever amongst Post-Apocalyptic Films.
To this point, the film has a 52% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which seems acceptable. These March and April action films are usually here for a reason, and if you can come out at over 50% then I feel like you did okay.
In second this weekend was "42", the Jackie Robinson biopic starring Chadwick Boseman and Harrison Ford. The film grabbed $18MM this weekend, bringing its total up to $54MM. That's already a nice bit more than its $40MM budget in only two weeks.
I saw this film last weekend and thought it was quite good. There was a lot of history in there that I think all audiences should familiarize themselves with. I did not do this post last weekend, however, so I should note that the $27MM it made when it opened was the most ever for a Baseball Movie. Historically, baseball films don't do that well at the box office, so this isn't the greatest of feats, but for baseball fans like myself, it gives a little more credibility to the genre to see something other than "The Benchwarmers" now sit atop that list.
As we move to third place, we take a pretty big drop down to $9.5MM, which "The Croods" earned in its fifth weekend. That's now $154MM domestically and $272MM internationally, making for a worldwide total of $427MM. No surprise that just last week DreamWorks Animation ordered a sequel for the prehistoric film. "The Croods" is currently the 14th highest grossing DreamWorks Animation film (domestically). It has a pretty easy road to the top 10 on that list, but climbing much higher than that should prove to be difficult.
In fourth place this weekend was "Scary Movie 5", which was in its second weekend. The film made $6.2MM, bringing its total up to $22.9MM. This is just more than its $20MM budget, so the film did its job. Looking back on the previous installments of this franchise, it's nice to see the box office numbers continue to plummet. The first film or two from this series was funny, but the rest (I'm guessing - I never saw them) have been terrible. I know that's terrible to say not having seen the films, but come on, we all know that's accurate. Audiences gave this series too much credit with the last two installments, but it looks like they've finally moved on at this point. I would imagine the current film has done enough to warrant another chapter, but we might not ever see much more than that.
Rounding out the Top 5 was "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" with $5.7MM. The film is now in its fourth week, and has racked up $111MM domestically, and another $211MM internationally, making for a worldwide total of $322MM. Believe it or not, as bad as the first film was, that number already surpasses what Rise of the Cobra made, and it carries a budget of about $40MM less ($130MM for Retaliation). I know that comment sounds backwards - if the first film was so bad, is it a surprise that this one is doing better? - but the logic is that even with audiences unhappy with the first film, they've all come back for round 2. It's a bit surprising to me.
No bigger, notable numbers for the film outside of those, but it seems clear that we're definitely in line for at least one more film from this franchise.
Outside of the Top 5, not much stands out. Other new releases, "Home Run" and "The Lords of Salem", both opening in limited variety, both had solid per-theater averages, providing promise for further expansion moving forward. Also, I'm amazed that "Silver Linings Playbook" is still hanging around the top 15 - it even got a theater increase this weekend! Pretty impressive run for the film.

Limiting the Documentation of Patient Immigration Status in Medical Records
Emily Pond
Although physicians are ethically obliged to give quality care to all patients, patient safety may be compromised if physicians with anti-immigrant beliefs or immigration officials access the records.
Immigration status is a social determinant of health, and its inclusion in medical records may facilitate care continuity for patients; however, documentation of immigration status may also expose patients to discrimination and stigmatization from physicians with anti-immigrant beliefs. In an AMA Journal of Ethics Case and Commentary article, authors Grace Kim, Uriel Sanchez Molina, and Altaf Saadi, MD, MSHPM, offered commentary on a specific case study and on the broader topic of medical record-keeping for immigrant patients, according to ethical, legal, and historical standards.
The authors considered the case of "Anna," an 8-year-old Korean American experiencing anxiety in response to her mother's status as an undocumented immigrant. Anna's provider, Dr Lopez, considered documenting the mother's immigration status as a means to facilitate referrals and adjust care to accommodate a major life stressor; however, he feared exposing the family to discrimination and risk for deportation, particularly in a time of increased anti-immigration sentiment and immigrant enforcement.
Although the primary ethical obligation of physicians is to provide quality care to all patients, the authors wrote, patient safety may be compromised if records are accessed by physicians with anti-immigrant beliefs or by immigration enforcement. The National Immigration Law Center and medical immigration advocates currently do not recommend documentation of immigration status. Even if physicians approach documentation through an "informed consent" process, they are not poised to fully explain the risks and benefits, particularly given the rapidly changing political climate.
Under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, disclosure of personal identifiable information, including immigration status, without patient consent is prohibited by law. Even so, documentation of immigration status still poses legal risks, particularly if immigration enforcement were to somehow access medical records. Although such a scenario remains theoretical as of the present, the United Kingdom has documented government sharing of National Health Service data with immigration authorities. As such, from a legal perspective, the authors recommended that physicians minimize such documentation. From a historical perspective, authors considered regulations developed in the 1980s regarding patient HIV status. Many states require written consent before HIV testing, and HIV status is more strongly protected than other components of medical records. Similarly, many states also restrict health insurers' use of genetic information to prevent discrimination. The authors suggested that immigration status receive the same level of consideration as these other protected health measures.
Anti-Immigration Laws Have Negative Health Effects on Undocumented Youth
Protecting Patient Privacy: HIPAA Compliance in the Electronic Age
FDA: New Plan for Regulations, Oversight of Dietary Supplement Industry
The authors concluded that explicit documentation of patient immigration status should be minimized. Although disclosure of status could facilitate care, the legal risks to patient safety are too great to justify documentation as standard practice. Physicians have an obligation to provide the highest standard of care; in present times, the highest standard involves minimal documentation of sensitive information.

Managerial & Financial Accounting & Reporting
Unqualified Audit - Explained
What is an Unqualified Audit?
Updated at April 7th, 2022
What is an Unqualified Audit?How is an Unqualified Audit Used?Unqualified Report vs. Qualified ReportAcademic Research for Unqualified Audit
An unqualified audit is a form of an audit of a company's account and finances done by an independent auditor. Usually, audits are appraisals of a company's status and how compliant it is to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). An unqualified audit is one of the four types of audits, other types are qualified audits or opinion, adverse opinion, and disclaimer of opinion. Once an independent auditor carries out an unqualified audit on a firm, an unqualified opinion is given stating that the firms financial statements are properly presented and follow the principles of GAAP. During an unqualified audit, the independent audit examines the internal records of a firm as well as its financial statements and other external records.
Back to: Accounting & Taxation
How is an Unqualified Audit Used?
An unqualified audit or opinion is otherwise called a clean opinion, this opinion is given by an independent auditor showing that the financial statement of a firm is free from misrepresentations, ambiguity and are compliant to the standards of GAAP. An unqualified is the most favorable audit or opinion a business can receive, it is done by an independent auditor without any biases or prejudice. An unaudited opinion is the opposite of an unqualified audit, this type of opinion is given without any appropriate findings of the financial statement of a firm or internal and external practices. Unqualified audit, however, pays attention to the details and accuracy of the financial statements presented by a company and its internal and external practices.
Unqualified Report vs. Qualified Report
In every audit, the auditor is expected to give his opinions about the financial statement of a company and how well the company has maintained the standards of GAAP. Qualified opinion (report) or an unqualified opinion (report) can be given. In an unqualified opinion, an auditor discloses that the financial statements of a company are fairly and accurately presented and that the business complies with the standards of GAAP. A qualified report, on the other hand, is an auditors opinion about a firm which concludes that the business has been largely compliant but a few parts of its financial statements are misrepresented. This report could also mean that some parts of the company's statement are in disagreement with the standards of GAAP.

For about fifteen years now, the good folks at Kites Unlimited have been organizing a festival in Atlantic Beach to celebrate the end of the season. I've been privileged to go five times. This time they invited Susie instead, but she insisted I come along anyway.
For those of you not familiar with how they talk in North Carolina, a "big" time means big fun -- good friends, fine flying, and plenty of food. Storms of the past few years had eroded the beach down to about fifty feet of sand. But we still put up a show and then laid bets as to who would go swimming for their kites first.
The limited beach proved ideal for Bol Racing. The "Running of the Bols" is something Susie and I concocted several years back in Berkeley. It involves strapping contestants onto our ten foot Baskets and letting them run upwind. The result is slow-motion pandemonium that drives the crowds wild.
Our hosts, Don, Jeri, and Brett Dixon provided a welcome setting. The Bay Area Sundowners, who have attended for about ten years, delighted the crowds with tight flying in limited space. Other performers included Al Sparling, Mike Agner, the Jim Martins (2nd and 3rd), The Kites Unlimited crew, and all the fun folks from the WACKOS (Wings Across Carolina Kite and Okra Society).
Gusty winds on Saturday and a light drizzle on Sunday challenged us all, but we made the best of everything.
Sunday night we gathered at the Dixon's for a traditional Pig Pickin' Party. And then Monday we began the trek home. We're grateful to Kite Unlimited for a good weekend. And with plans by the Federal Government to restore the beach this winter, an even bigger show should be in store next year.
I had thought that the flying season would end for us in Carolina but a last minute invitation has be jetting off to Japan the day after the election for a meeting of the Japan Kite Association in Hammamatsu.
It is a quick trip, but promises to be a good one. Meanwhile, we have a series of new line art and accessories to show you next week. Check back on the Update for details!
List price on the 75 foot Streamer is $35. But 20% off drops that to $28. The 35 footers are marked from $19 to $15. Here's what we have. When they are gone, you get the new bags -- and the higher price.


If you drove by our clinic this week, you probably saw our sign which says: "Good pet nutrition is a daily commitment. Are you taking it seriously?" This is such an important question to think about. What do you do every day for your pet? Of course giving them attention and affection should come to mind – but without fail, you feed your companion every day. Nutrition therefore certainly deserves a priority place in the daily routine of caring for your pet.
Research has proven over and over the benefits of excellent nutrition on the health of our pets. Numerous medical conditions can either be partially or fully managed through diet alone (for example, obesity, urinary issues, diabetes, liver disease, kidney disease, and the list goes on). But why should we wait until there is a medical problem to focus on good nutrition? Perhaps jumping on great nutrition from the beginning can minimize or curtail potential negative or undesired health outcomes. Certainly focusing on excellent nutrition from reputable companies can easily help you avoid feeding unbalanced, unhealthy, or harmful diets.
Does the manufacturer of this food only make this brand, or is the same manufacturer producing food for multiple brands?
As your pet's veterinary clinic, we are here to help you make the best nutrition choice for your pet – so give us a call or make an appointment to discuss your nutrition questions and concerns!

Our Pandemic Transnational Revolt: Organizing Struggles in Europe and Beyond
TSS Statements
How do we struggle on a transnational scale and why is it so important? This question haunts the TSS Platform since its foundation. Over the years, we tried to answer this question by fostering political initiatives across borders on some crucial terrains such as the logistics of exploitation, social reproduction and migrant labor. It was clear to us that the transnational challenge can't be limited to a mirroring of the international one. When we opted for this name, we intended to argue that internationalism is insufficient to grasp the contemporary interconnection of struggles and social movements. The transnational perspective therefore was, and still is, the name of a political position and at the same time an indication of a challenge and of a possibility. The transnational is not the sum of national spaces, not even the mere recognition of interdependencies. The Transnational is the political space we live in, the hierarchies exploiting our lives and the dimension of our struggles. The transnational is what constitutes the concrete chains of power against which we fight. Since we launched the challenge and the project of the TSS Platform, we embarked on different paths of struggles with the aim of bringing the transnational to the surface, making it visible and turning it into common political action. Today, we think to be closer to answering our initial question.
We wagered on the political relevance of the strike because we thought that the strike is the form that rising tensions would develop in the workplaces and could erupt across society to become a wider social movement. Today, the fact that the strike is the most powerful form of struggle and tool for connecting different subjects is widely recognised.
After the "A Day without Us" in 2006 in the US and 2010 in Italy, France and other European countries, migrants' strikes showed the possibility of a new politicization and socialization of the strike, going out of the factory gates to invade society. At the same time, when it takes the shape of the strike, social insubordination goes back to the workplaces and produces new forms of conflict inside them. With their struggle pointing at the same time against exploitation, institutional racism and border violence, migrants made visible the need to widen labour struggles and attack the conditions imposed upon them by state laws, European policies and international agreements.

The strikes of Amazon workers in several European and US plants, which increased during the pandemic, are demonstrating since 2015 the need for transnational communication and struggle against a global giant, and the possibility to address the national and local divisions and social hierarchies that enable multinational companies to surf over differences to impose their own rule.
Women's strike, which began in 2016 in Poland as a contestation of women's subordination and male violence, has rapidly turned into a global feminist movement that contested the overall patriarchal condition of neoliberal social reproduction.

These movements did not only bring the strike back in but indicated what is the dimension that our initiative should target. As the TSS Platform, we considered Europe as our initial field of struggle but pointed at the need to reframe the scale of the political initiative of social movements beyond the limits of EU institutional borders. While we've been involved in the contestation of the European Central Bank, we realized that the power of the EU was already being displaced from its institutional centre to a more complex logistics of exploitation, where the Eastern European region and its 'outsides' play a decisive role. After organizing the first TSS meeting in Poznan, Poland, in 2015 we invested political energies in connecting with struggles happening in the Eastern regions, from Georgia to Bulgaria to Slovenia. Looking at the EU from its Eastern and bordering countries has been a way to see the links and connections between subjects and struggles that appear otherwise isolated. Dislocating our gaze from "the East" allowed to highlight the structural integration between factories and logistics firms employing posted workers and migrant workers from within and outside the EU; the transnational chains of care and social reproduction of which women – above all migrant ones – bear the burden; and the different conditions related to wage, contracts and benefits that constitute the European transnational labour market and the background for our rising network of essential struggles. Looking from this differentiated labor market is also a way to start grappling with the political riddle of Brexit: far from being limited to an institutional process, Brexit is shaking this very labour market, impacting on the forms of mobility of EU and non-EU migrants alike, the chains of production and the dislocation of financial markets.
COVID-19, a virus that knows no borders, haunts human mobility and runs through the logistics networks, has presented us one more time the need to face a complex and articulated transnational reality. The response to the pandemic, organized by states and capital, has tried to keep the economy running while restraining all that is considered as not strictly necessary to its goal. Freedom is now explicitly measured in terms of productivity: until the pandemic is over, we are told, we need to accept limitations to our freedoms, except the freedom to be exploited and to secure production.
At the same time, with the promise to provide an exit strategy from the COVID-19 crisis, global institutions are offering loans that will force many countries to cut public services and wages in the upcoming years. New dependencies are being created behind the chronicles of the pandemic. Austerity isn't over globally, but in Europe, like in the US, stimulus packages are pumping trillions in public spending as have never happened in previous decades. The main goal is that of avoiding the further shrinking of the general economy, but, together with this, governments are trying to keep the order of society and avoid wider discontent. In some countries layoffs have been temporarily suspended, at least for those having a labor contract, unemployment funds have been created, evictions have been delayed. Yet, with the alleged aim to prevent overcrowding or ensuring the continuity of essential services, companies are extending the working day, restructuring shifts, demanding increased flexibility and imposing heavier workloads. With the explosion of e-commerce, the pressure on logistics warehouses, drivers and riders keeps growing, and social distancing has become a new way to control workers that try to meet and organize. While some are left home, others are hired with contracts lasting for just a few days in order to respond to the request of the market and meet the rising number of orders for online shopping. Today, recovery policies take for granted that domestic labor is on women's shoulders and rely on the fact that migrant women – very often excluded from the recovery benefits – will anyhow fill the gaps. The labor of migrant women, from outside and within the EU, is the hidden tenet that makes it possible to pretend to solve the emergency by expanding the use of smart working and squeezing essential workers. And while Europe has almost closed its borders to migrants, forcing them to endure dangerous journeys in order to cross the sea, mountains and rivers, in different countries a failed reception system, which is the direct result of European reaction to the migration storm of 2015, has become a new pool of cheap labor, with even asylum seekers employed as temporary workers. The pandemic highlighted that, within the transnational space we live in, patriarchal and racist violence, the laws and measures against migrants and women, the limitations to the freedom of movement and to sexual freedom, have major backlashes on everyone's working conditions and on everyone's capacity to organize.
On our side, the response to the pandemic has been wide and varied. Blockades, strikes, protests have marked particularly the so-called first-wave of the pandemic: from Amazon warehouses to metalworking factories, from logistics hubs to services, from migrants protesting the conditions inside reception centers to the women occupied in the chains of care. Starting from these struggles we need to ask ourselves what kind of transnational politics do we activate to counteract the fact that the handling of the pandemic by states and capital is actually strengthening existing hierarchies of exploitation and oppression. There are ongoing struggles of migrants for a European unconditional and unlimited residence permit that aim at overcoming the borders imposed by national and supranational policies on migration; we see ongoing albeit isolated strikes of nurses, domestic workers, social workers, cleaners, mainly women, protesting against the mix between exploitation at work as essential workers and patriarchal violence; in the warehouses all over Europe and beyond workers struggle for higher wages and for more safety at work. What is at stake is the possibility to further consolidate a political platform where all these experiences can be made stronger and communicate with each other. As the TSS Platform, we think this is still the challenge facing us. We think that the perspective of local and national struggles remain limited, and we need to take advantage of the pandemic to strengthen our transnational and global capacities. After the financial crisis of 2008, revolts and uprisings have multiplied, demonstrating that their participants are part of social movements that are in no way local or national, but have transnational enemies, addressing transnational problems that resonate with each other across borders. The fight is going to be hard, but we can't waste yet another crisis to retreat on safe ground. After years of revolts against the neoliberal agenda, institutional racism, patriarchy and authoritarianism, now it's time to take the transnational scale of exploitation seriously, and to make the transnational scale our primary space of action.
In the recent years we have gained plenty of experiences that have reinvented the strike as social, migrant and feminist and showed the possibility to fight on a transnational level. Building on these experiences, we must keep discussing and organizing the transnational strike as a process and not just conceptualised as a single event. If we want our collective voice to become the dominant character in the post-pandemic reality, if we want to disrupt the reproduction of the hierarchies of exploitation, if we want to unleash our power, we must insist in bringing to light the transnational processes that shape even our everyday experiences. We must keep on building the transnational connections that animate our own political platform. We see our struggle in connection with the insurrection against racial oppression and its structural link with exploitation that has shaken the United States for months. Even beyond the direct communication that links struggles in Amazon warehouses or Black Lives Matter demonstrations across the Atlantic, these movements are a further display of the transnational circulation of strikes and insubordination in our present times. The transnational social strike is essential because it tackles the sexist and racist conditions of production and social reproduction as part of a wider logistics of exploitation. The transnational social strike is as essential as ever.

By Nancy Luna | nluna@scng.com | Orange County Register
July 19, 2007 at 3:00 a.m.
While most people know Duane Roberts as the man who saved Riverside's historic Mission Inn, the Laguna Beach multi-millionaire's real claim to fame is more humble.
He invented the frozen burrito.
The son of a Riverside meat wholesaler, Roberts sold burger patties and barbecue beef to dozens of California restaurants in the 1950s. One of Butcher Boy's best customers was an up-and-coming burger joint called McDonald's.
Back then, a cultural shift in the way people dined gave birth to the fast food industry – and the always entrepreneurial Roberts wanted a piece of the action. So he concocted a beef and bean burrito that could be deep fried at carhops throughout America.
The product made Roberts a millionaire when he sold the business in 1980.
Over the years, his love for Mexican food never waned – though he now craves entrees much more chic than a chimichanga. On Monday, his Newport Beach investment firm is launching Las Campanas, a Mexican fine dining restaurant in Rancho Cucamonga with food and décor that's expected to rival any first-class steak or seafood restaurant.
"Mexican food has an overall reputation as being low on the budget and cost side," Roberts said. "So what we're trying to do is raise the bar and have a much more dramatic experience."
Roberts, 70, eventually hopes to turn Las Campanas into a string of gourmet restaurants – a niche he believes is lacking in the region. His next establishment is expected to be in coastal Orange County, where he lives with his wife, Kelly.
He talked to reporter Nancy Luna about his fortune, his passion for preservation, and his entrepreneurial endeavors.
Luna: So, freezing a burrito set you up for life. How did that come about?
Roberts: My family had a small meat company, and my father sold patties to the original McDonald's in San Bernardino. They became so successful other people copied them. As (burger joints) got more competitive, people wanted to add more items to their menu. So, we asked, "What else could we make?"
We (our company) had a Hispanic butcher, and he said, "Why don't you make a burrito?" I loved Mexican food, but I had no idea what a burrito was.
Luna: Date me, please. In what year did you not know what a burrito was in Southern California?
Roberts: 1956. I was 19.
Luna: Oh my. So, what kind of Mexican food did you know?
Roberts: Enchiladas and tacos.
Luna: What was in the first burrito?
Roberts: It was a beef and bean burrito with red chili powder. Later, I brought in green chili.
Luna: What made you freeze it?
Roberts: We had blast freezers for our barbecue beef so we could transport it all over. So, I'd take my (frozen) burritos on the road, and go into restaurants and give them my sales pitch. I put them in the fryer, and everyone thought it was fantastic.
Luna: Butcher Boy sold meat to dozens of fast food restaurants in California. Did anyone snub you?
Roberts: I tried to sell barbecue beef to Harry Snyder (founder of Irvine-based In-N-Out Burger.) He told me then, he would never change his menu. But he did give me a lead to a competitor, Mel's Drive-In (who) did buy a huge amount of our barbecue meat.
Luna: Over the years, you invested in other Mexican food manufacturing companies that made taquitos, tacos and enchiladas.
Roberts: Yes. (For a long time), we were their only Mexican food supplier. The business had grown to an $80 million a year company when we sold it in 1980.
Luna: You are a multi-millionaire with strong international investments. Why go into the risky restaurant business now?
Roberts: My wife asked me that. I love creating things, and so we decided on Mexican food with the highest quality (ingredients). We use nothing but USDA filet mignon choice. The (décor) is something you'd see in south beach Florida. We have 16-foot water walls, back lit. The bar has amber lighting. (Note: The eatery was designed by the same architect who created Blue Coral Seafood & Spirits in Newport Beach.)
Luna: Why open in Rancho Cucamonga, and not the O.C.?
Roberts: We will come into Orange County. In fact we're in negotiation on another site along the coastline. But, we decided on (the Rancho area) because there's an affluent younger age group (there.)
Luna: You're tapping into a niche that's starting to grow here in Orange County – Mexican chic. Where do you like to eat locally?
Roberts: Yes. There is a sub-market. We eat at Javier's in Laguna Beach. He's probably the most upscale Mexican operation Orange County.
Luna: What made you rescue the Mission Inn in 1992?
Roberts: The Butcher Boy company entertained there, and brought larger customers there. My mother loved it, and that was a big reason why I did it. She was deceased (at the time of the purchase.) She would have never imagined that we would own a treasure like the Mission Inn.
Luna: You sound enamored with historic architecture.
Roberts:Yes. I like beautiful old things. The Mission Inn is the fabric that binds the community together. It's a heart welling thing to own. Some (wealthy) people have sports teams, I have my Mission Inn.

Villanova @ St. John's
Villanova +150 over St. John"s
Madison Square Garden, New York, NY
Streaming: FOX Sports 1 (FS1)
Villanova +150 over St. John's
7:00 PM EST. The Red Storm are 12-5, and they come into tonight on a two game winning streak, including a takedown of then #6 UConn, on the road, 85-74, as a 14½ point underdog. If that wasn't enough of a sweet situational spot, the Johnnies are also hosting their first home game of the season at Madison Square Garden, "The World's Most Famous Arena". This is the most hyped Johnnies game of the year, and it's going down right in the heart of The Big Apple.
The Johnnies were not expected to do much in the Big East, as they were pegged to be closer to the bottom than they were to the top (8-of-11 schools). Preseason rankings are not everything, but they aren't nothing and they can be used to help mine for value.
It's been a rough transition for the Wildcats since the departure of Jay Wright, who retired after more than two decades in the Philadelphia suburbs coaching at Villanova. That made way for former Wright assistant, Kyle Neptune, to come over from Fordham after one year as the head coach of the Rams. Expectations were obviously still high, but so far those expectations have not been met. 'Nova's usually shiny and reliable image is scuffed for the first time in a long time.
When was the last time Villanova was an underdog to St. John's? We went back three years because that's long enough to make our point, as the Wildcats have been favored, home or away, in 10 straight games going back to January 8, 2019. That feels like five lifetimes ago, so let's just pump the breaks and stop there. There are layers of value to be had here. Wrong side favored.
Villanova +150 (Risking 2 units - To Win: 3.00)

Diseases of the vein, such as May Thurner Syndrome, cause many problems and inconveniences to patients. Having a problematic vein on the legs could lead to a variety of complications, such as enlargement of the veins behind the knee. These unsightly lumps make patients more anxious and conscious about their appearance.
In some cases, a patient develops a more serious condition as a complication of the venous disease. An example of this is Deep Vein Thrombosis. Getting professional and medical help as soon as possible is key to alleviating the symptoms and preventing the development of worse illnesses.
This procedure destroys and dissolves blood clots right at the affected spot. Your physician inserts a catheter directly at the affected vein and administers clot-dissolving (thrombolytic) medication to break the clot apart. It could take hours to days before the clot dissolves, depending on personal circumstances.
This technique uses the same methods as thrombolysis does. In addition, the doctor uses a special catheter device to mechanically break down the clot and suction it out of the vein.
Once the clots are out, your physician will open the compressed vein areas through the procedures called Angioplasty and Stenting. An inflatable balloon catheter is inserted to your affected vein. The catheter's balloon is then inflated inside the vein to expand its walls, and then the stent is placed to hold the expanded vein walls in place. This allows blood to flow freely and reach different parts of your body.
Simply put, May Thurner Syndrome can be treated with a wide variety of medical interventions. Methods range from minimally invasive to aggressive vein treatments. Whatever it is your doctor prefers to use for your case, know that these methods are safe and often become successful in managing your condition.


Caroline's Miscellany: How do you say Deptford?
Detfud (haven't got the IPA characters) definitely, unless you replace the /t/ with a glottal stop.
I'm pretty sure that pronouncing the "p" is just ignorance. And it's not the London Bridge announcer's fault if she's from Chelsea.
I have grave suspicions that the 'pt' version is computer-generated without benefit of local knowledge!
I would even go so far as to say it's De'fud!
Detfud and Grinnich Spot on !
How do you say Millwall?
I sort of leave out the "ll" more like miwall.

Q: Divide and Conquer (recurrence relation problem)... The problem:

(a) Use a divide-and-conquer approach to devise a procedure to find the largest
and next-to-largest numbers in a set of $n$ distinct integers.

(b) Give a recurrence relation for the number of comparisons performed by your
procedure.

(c) Solve the recurrence relation obtained in part (b).

So here's the work I did, with a, b, and c done in 1 swoop:

Consider $l_1,l_2\in\mathbb{Z}$ and let $L=\max\left\{ {l_1,l_2}\right\}$. Dividing $L$, we compare $l_1,l_2$ now and obtain
$$a_n=2a_{n/2}+1$$
for $n \geq 2$ since we have are just comparing the two integers. Using known formulas for the way our $a_n$ looks, we obtain $a_n=An-1$, where if we impose the condition $a_1=1$, we obtain $A=2$ and ultimately
$$a_n=2n-1.$$

I used an example in the book that was similar to this problem to come to this conclusion, but overall am incredibly confused. I have no idea if I did this correctly. If someone could verify I'm on the right/wrong path, I'd be much obliged.

A: For (a), start with 2 values, they are maximum/minimum for the range. If you have $n$ values, split in two as evenly as possible, and get (recursively) largest and runner up for each part, figure out how to combine this for the full $n$ values.
For (b), from the above see what you can use as key operations (so that others are proportional in number), and set up a recurrence according to (a).


Curling Canada have announced the four-player teams that will compete in the first three legs of the inaugural Curling World Cup, including the opening stage next month in Suzhou, China.
Canada will be represented next month by a new-look Team Koe in the men's event with Kevin Koe and lead Ben Hebert joined by new members, second Colton Flasch and third B.J Neufeld.
Koe's rink has previously enjoyed international success in 2010 and 2016, winning gold at the Curling World Championships in Cortina d'Ampezzo and Basel respectively.
Koe commented: "Team Koe is very excited to be participating in the inaugural World Cup Event in Suzhou, China. It will be our first event as a new team and we couldn't think of a better event to start in and are looking forward to it."
Team Homan - who won the CPT World Women's Curling Championship 2017 - will be Canada's representatives in the opening women's event, with skip Rachel Homan alongside lead Lisa Weagle, second Joanne Courtney and third Emma Miskew.
Both Team Koe and Team Homan represented Canada at the Winter Olympics earlier this year, with the men's rink losing out to Switzerland in the bronze medal game.
The competition will be the first in which teams represent their country while earning prize money, with up to $165,000 to play for in each of the first three events, before an increase to $280,000 in the Grand Final.
Canada have also named their teams for the second and third legs, with Team Fleury and Team Gunnlaugson competing in Omaha, USA, while Team Jones and Team Gushue will take to the ice in Jonkoping, Sweden, for the third leg.
They have also named their mixed doubles team for the Suzhou leg, with Laura Walker and Kirk Muyres – bronze medallists at the World Mixed Doubles Championship 2018 – heading to China in September.
The Grand Final will be held in Beijing, China, next May, with the host nation, the three winners from the first three legs, and the current World Curling champions all competing.
They will be joined by a 'special invite' team – such as the reigning Olympic champions – and the two highest ranked teams from the Curling World Cup ranking list that have not yet qualified.

As a US Navy trainer and fitness coordinator, Felicia Morales of San Antonio, Texas, developed specialized programs for active duty personnel who couldn't pass fitness standards. Whether they were returning from medical waivers, maternity leave or had simply let good fitness habits slip, Felicia worked with each one to get them back into shape. Today, she uses those skills to teach participants at San Antonio Oasis how to improve their strength, balance and self-confidence through a variety of fun and rewarding workouts.
That's the core idea behind Oasis evidence-based health workshops and fitness classes offered nationwide. From classic workouts like cardio and strength training, yoga and Aquafit, to a wide variety of dance classes, arthritis programs, bone-building and falls prevention programs, and even hiking and cycling, Oasis provides members with fun alternatives to keep them moving no matter what their fitness level.
Balance is one of the many things in life that needs practice to maintain. As people get older and slow down, the fear of falling may prevent them from the very activities that will help rebuild balance. Tai Chi, which utilizes slow gentle flowing movements to build balance, is wildly popular throughout the country.
"I have a lot of students who come to Tai Chi because their doctor recommended it," says Ilene Dunn, a certified Tai Chi instructor with Albuquerque Oasis. One of the classes she teaches is Tai Ji Quan: Moving for Better Balance®, a program takes eight movements from traditional Tai Chi and adapts them to focus on strength and balance. All movements can be performed seated or standing, with or without a chair.
Ed Griffith is one of three Soul Line Dance instructors at San Diego Oasis who lead packed classes of joyful dancers, no gym required.
That's exactly how Rhonda Wright's students feel about her Non-Impact Aerobics (NIA) class at Rochester Oasis, in New York. NIA is a whole body approach to fitness that blends elements from dance, martial arts and yoga.
While she's always learning something new from her students, Rhonda says she will always remember one in particular.
A pioneer in healthy aging, Oasis encourages a three-fold approach that experts and our participants agree makes getting older interesting and productive: lifelong learning, active lifestyles and volunteer engagement. In 2017, more than 12,500 health and fitness classes were offered nationwide. These programs are made possible with support from a number of funders.
