Three teens shot in apparent fight after Screen on the Green at Piedmont Park
Police have arrested Christopher Thornton, 18, after being found in possession of a handgun, according to APD.
"Preliminary investigation determined that witnesses reported two groups of black males fighting with each other at the intersection of Peachtree and 10th streets after leaving the Screen on the Green event," said APD spokesperson Carlos Campos in a statement.
"We have not been able to corroborate accounts of whether participants in the incident attended the event, however. The matter has been turned over to investigators. It should be noted that there were no major incidents at the Screen on the Green event itself, or in Piedmont Park. Atlanta Police presence has been increased to ensure the safety of patrons at the event," he added.
Last year, a "melee" broke out at Screen on the Green when several fights broke out causing the film to be stopped early as people ran from the park. Several people at last year's screening said they were targeted for being gay by those instigating the fights.
Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and the Piedmont Park Conservancy announced May 25 that the popular Screen on the Green would be held at the park after the Conservancy had previously canceled the series earlier this year when its main corporate sponsor, Peachtree TV, withdrew.
Reed also acknowledged that security would be a high priority for the series after a melee tainted last year's showing of "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen." The Atlanta Police Department, as well as private security, will monitor the crowd during the festival, Reed said.

Q: One-way ANOVA fails with dataframe having completely unique values in columns So when I run ANOVA with statsmodel , I am unable to reach a conclusive result when the dataframe I sent has any column that has completely distinct values for eg: Region column has West, East, South.
so when we run the ANOVA - one way
mod = smf.ols('y~x', data=dfx).fit()
aov_table = sma.stats.anova_lm(mod, typ=1)

I get an error ValueError: shapes (2,3) and (2,) not aligned: 3 (dim 1) != 2 (dim 0) where the following table is printed.
   table =     df  sum_sq  mean_sq    F  PR(>F)

    pr_test = 'PR(>F)', robust = None

I am planning to drop those columns that have only unique values. But I wanted to know if theres any reason besides this for the above error.

ST. SEAN PAYTON
By Marc Lawrence
By Marc Lawrence, PlaybookSports.com — Little did the Falcons realize that when they entered their Bye week in the last week of October that they would proceed to be manhandled in the stats every game thereafter, thus bringing an 0-11 ITS (In The Stats) slate in their last eleven contests in this affair.
The issue at hand, though, is that the Saints' sloth-like offense averages 2.1 PPG during the 1Q of games, the worst in the league. Hence, it's never easy falling into a black hole early in a game, and not having the resources to dig your way out.
However, Sean Payton's gang is 7-1 ATS in its last eight division travelers, as well as 11-2 ATS as road chalk of less than five points. Next to the Dirty Birds' 1-7 SU and 2-6 ATS home log in division games, it means there is only one way to look.

One of the big use cases for having an SSL VPN is the ability to grant secure access to internal company websites to your remote users.
This is generally done by reverse proxying and when it works right it's a great way of securing your internal sites that you would rather not have directly facing the internet.
However, it can be a challenge to successfully set up a reverse proxy that works perfectly and to do so often requires significant effort from either the poor admin who is trying to set up the resource, or the support team from the company supplying the VPN system. In my 9 years of working on SSL VPN technology, I would guess that up to 80% of all support was related to getting these proxied resources working.
Sometimes you get lucky as the VPN vendor may have templated a particular resource (like Microsoft Sharepoint for example) which has already had the hard work done by their development team with all the config required, although the point here is that it was still probably difficult to generate this.
Sometimes your internal website is very simple with nice static links that's easy to catch and rewrite. Most of the time though you run into problems.
You might start off with the proxy mapping requests for a single path off the root directly through to another path on your internal web site. But what happens when that internal site generates a link to itself such as a 302 redirect? Your client browser would then try to directly connect to the internal server's URL and you would get an error (No such host for example).
So the proxy needs to rewrite that hostname in the HTTP headers.
What about simple links in pages? A relative addressed link (such as ) would work just fine, but an absolute addressed link containing the full hostname () would not.
Our proxy now needs to parse through all the html and rewrite any links it finds, replacing the hostname with the proxy's own host.
For these simple two examples above, this is all pretty easy to handle so far. Where it can get really difficult is when you have to deal with dynamic web pages, which is probably most of them these days.
Here is where you normally start having to wrestle with the complexities of Regular Expressions and I think this xkcd cartoon pretty much sums up most people's experience with these.
Even for those people who have a black belt in regular expressions, there can still be a lot of work involved in capturing http requests and viewing the source code to work out exactly which bits need replacing – and worse – it's never the same thing on every site.
What if there was a way you could do away with all this fuss and make an internal web site available that works with minimal work and without having to set up a full blown client-to-site VPN?
Then it might be worth trying out our Hypersocket VPN, which has an alternative approach to this problem. The Hypersocket VPN uses an installable client that transparently tunnels directly through to your internal web sites, completely bypassing the need to do any replacements at all.
Even better, it combines this with some DNS interception, thus cleverly resolving what tends to be the biggest issue with SSL tunnelling websites, connecting to Virtual Hosts. With this DNS interception the host headers are always correct pretty much guaranteeing that if you can connect to a web site directly from inside your network, then you should be able to do the same from outside using the client.

Is Outsourcing IT A Good Idea?


Search.searchutilities.co is the PUP that uses misleading techniques to prevent removal. Use Reimage to locate malicious components and get rid of them faster than with uninstall instructions. A full system scan blocks virus reappearance and prevents traffic to malicious domains.
Search.searchutilities.co virus is another addition to the ever-expanding family of browser hijacker viruses . Site creators are the infamous Cyprus-based company called Polarity Technologies Ltd which is known for developing numerous search based engines designed to promote specific products, companies or services and at the same time bring revenue to the program creators. Search.searchiswt.com, Search.searchvzc.com, and Search.packageintransit.com are just a few examples of such Polarity's creations. The main problem with these domains is that they typically show up on the computers without any warning. They replace the homepage and default search engine of the infected browsers and prevent users from changing the default settings back to normal. Additional browser helper objects  such as toolbars, extensions or add-ons help the hijacker fortify its position on the browser. Please note that the hijacker helps these components to install without the user's permission as well. So, when performing Search.searchutilities.co removal, don't forget to eliminate all the questionable programs that may have been installed on your PC during hijacker's stay on your system. Malware detections software like Reimage will help you gather all these programs up and delete them automatically. If you find yourself struggling with the parasite on your Mac OS X, try scanning your PC with Malwarebytes MalwarebytesCombo Cleaner.
When talking about Search.searchutilities.co behavior on the computer, users typically point out its annoying redirect issue. In fact, random redirects to unfamiliar domains may as well be dangerous and result in additional system contamination with unwanted programs and potentially more serious viruses such as ransomware. In addition to these serious issues, browser hijacker are also known for collecting various information about the user's browsing habits (such as visited websites, time spent there, information searched online) system information (computing platform, its version, etc) and other information about the device (IP address, geographic location, Internet service provider and more). The collected data becomes a property of the site owners and can be user any way they find fit. Considering the type of the information, it is undoubtedly valuable to various advertisers, so it will most likely be shared or sold to them without user's knowledge or permission. If you don't want data about you being handled beyond your control, you should remove Search.searchutilities.co from your PC as soon as possible.
Search.searchutilities.co is a browser hijacker which looks like a legitimate search engine but behind the surface generates revenue for its creators.
If you have been installing downloaded software without paying much attention to the procedure, it's time you changed your ways because freeware and shareware packages are exactly where shady software developers tend to hide Search.searchutilities.co. Obtaining freeware from reputable sources can diminish the risk of acquiring an infected software package, but you should take your time with any installation in general. When given the option to choose the installation mode in software's setup wizard, always go for the Advanced mode. Then, go through the installation steps closely and unmark any check boxes that you see marked next to Search.searchutilities.co or any other suspicious items you did not intend to install.
If you are already tired of all the redirects, new suspicious programs and other unauthorized activity being carried out on your PC, you must remove Search.searchutilities.co virus from your computer. Otherwise, the malware will continue to terrorize you, becoming increasingly more intrusive and annoying each day. Don't worry if you don't have much time for the virus elimination — specialized anti-malware tools will carry out the Search.searchutilities.co removal for you. With a reliable software, clean PC is just a couple of clicks away. So, don't wait any longer, launch your antivirus and allow it to scan your system thoroughly.
Here, look for Search.searchutilities.co or any other recently installed suspicious programs.
Wait until you see Applications folder and look for Search.searchutilities.co or any other suspicious programs on it. Now right click on every of such entries and select Move to Trash.
When in the new window, check Delete personal settings and select Reset again to complete Search.searchutilities.co removal.
Once these steps are finished, Search.searchutilities.co should be removed from your Microsoft Edge browser.
Here, select Search.searchutilities.co and other questionable plugins. Click Remove to delete these entries.
Now you will see Reset Firefox to its default state message with Reset Firefox button. Click this button for several times and complete Search.searchutilities.co removal.
Here, select Search.searchutilities.co and other malicious plugins and select trash icon to delete these entries.
Click Reset to confirm this action and complete Search.searchutilities.co removal.
Here, select Extensions and look for Search.searchutilities.co or other suspicious entries. Click on the Uninstall button to get rid each of them.
Here, look at the Homepage field. If it was altered by Search.searchutilities.co, remove unwanted link and enter the one that you want to use for your searches. Remember to include the "http://" before typing in the address of the page.

Anita's just moved back home. Not to Mom and Dad's, you understand, just out of New York and back to Peekskill – and it's NOT an admission of defeat; just a strategy for recharging batteries and planning a new assault on Broadway.
Observe, then, as Anita seeks to effect her return to the bright lights, grappling with hostile agents, indifferent casting directors, doubting parents, demanding boyfriends and, worst of all, high school rivals still somehow hogging the local limelight.
Meantime, Anita will treat you to gems known and lesser known from such American songwriting legends as S. Barber & L. Bernstein. This show has "elements that remind us of Shirley Maclaine, Maureen Lipman and Barbara Streisand," as quoted by one reviewer.
"Overall this is a genuinely warming piece of musical theatre delivered with skill and panache by Bridge. It stays confident in its calmness and the hour glides by. Debbie Bridge carries off all the well-chosen songs. Without microphone, she's raw, real live and spot on.
"Miss Givings is every wide-eyed performer's story – from the delight in exercising your talent, through the nerves and excitement of auditions, to the deflating self-doubt that accompanies not getting picked. The stinging realisation that your past victories have been modest coupled with the almost excruciating thrill of sharing your true self onstage culminates in a bittersweet denouement.
"Debbie Bridge doesn't need to prove anything. Her track record in opera and the West End are enough for anyone.
But still, she has enough time to put together an impressive list of songs from the Great American Songbook to delight tiny audiences. It has the feel of a labour of love because otherwise why such an accomplished performer would be prepared to stand up in front of no more than 20 people at Lovibonds and belt out Gershwin, Copland and Bernstein?
Nevertheless, she does and we are grateful. There are other singers making a living with a microphone these days who would kill for her ability in the lower range.
When she's up in the soprano register we get the full benefit of a set of lungs probably able to power spacecraft. These songs come from some of the great American musicals including West Side Story when her There's A Place For Us brought a lump to this reviewer's throat.
And she can act, really act, not a token bit of speaking as a subsidiary to her singing. It was a hot early evening at Lovibonds and Debbie was dressed in a velvet skirt and various costume changes included coats and other uncomfortable attire. Not a word of complaint or comment was passed about the conditions.
Need soundboard or some facility to play a CD and plug sockets. We can provide our own technician, but this may not always be feasible, so may require one. Also, prefer venues which have lighting, but this isn't a must. We prefer blackout, but it is a very flexible show, as it's been created for small-scale touring in mind. A pianist can be hired for the show with or without keyboard, depending on what is possible and the budget.
The show works for any level of physical accessibility which the venue is able to provide. We do not have any support for the hearing or visually impaired.
Workshops can be on singing or acting. Content can be adapted, for example, different age groups, but core aims are: to encourage participation in performing arts and build self-esteem, confidence, leadership and teamwork.

ICGS Arnvesh, a fast patrol vessel (FPV) of Indian Coast Guard, was commissioned here today.
The ship is primarily intended to undertake surveillance at sea, coastal patrol, anti-smuggling and anti-piracy operations.
Arnvesh is equipped with the most-advanced navigational and communication sensors and equipment, including night vision capabilities, and is fitted with 40/60 Bofors gun onboard as main armament.
"Indian Coast Guard has emerged as a potent force and its growth is exponential. The induction of Arnvesh today is yet another defining moment in the annals of Indian ship building industry and is testimonial to our indigenous shipbuilding capability, which further bolsters the nation's 'Make in India' campaign," Eastern Naval Command Vice-Admiral HCS Bisht said on the occasion.
The ship is built by the Cochin Shipyard Ltd.
Bisht said the changed security scenario in the maritime domain dictates the need for coastal security on round-the clock basis wherein both the coast guard and the Navy have to maintain a constant vigil.
"By keeping our seas safe and our coasts secure, we play a major role in the nation's growth and prosperity. The role of Coast Guard, along with various other stake-holders involved in coastal security, therefore assumes greater significance," Bisht said.
The ship will be manned by five officers and 35 enrolled personnel.

But folly tears it down with its own hands.
A man of devious ways scorns Him.
But a rich harvest comes through the strength of the ox.
A false witness testifies lies.
But knowledge comes easily to the intelligent man.
For you will not learn wise speech.
But the stupidity of the dullard is delusion.
Between the upright, good will.
A good man, of his deeds.
A clever man ponders his course.
But a dullard rushes in confidently.
A man of intrigues will be hated.
But clever men glory in knowledge.
So are the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
But a rich man has many friends.
While those who plan good earn steadfast love.
But idle chatter is pure loss.
The stupidity of dullards is stupidity.
He who testifies lies reads] deceit.
A refuge for a man's children.
Enabling one to avoid deadly snares.
Without a nation a ruler is ruined.
Impatience gets folly as its portion.
Passion is rot to the bones.
He who shows pity for the needy honors Him.
The righteous man finds security in his death.
But among dullards it makes itself known.
He rages at an incompetent one.


Laura sent in these stories.
I went to Upper Room and felt God convict me that I needed to initiate conversations with people about Jesus more, instead of just trying to be kind and loving and solely waiting on them to bring it up. So I took this to heart. I began trying to push myself to talk to at least one person a day about Jesus so it became my first response. The week after I decided to respond to the prompting the Lord gave me, I had several opportunities to talk about Jesus.
It was easy to start a conversation about it when people would say things like, "You are so happy; why are you so happy?" or when they would take any general interest in me. It was also easy to start a conversation about Jesus when someone I knew was going through a hard time and I was there consoling them. Then they asked me how I was able to be there for them.
In one instance I was able to share Jesus with a Muslim. She wanted to connect and was looking for a friend in me. We talked generally about some hard circumstances. She asked me how I was so peaceful. Because of my new-found strength to tell people about Jesus, I told her, "Well, it is because of Jesus." We have talked several times about Jesus since then.
In another situation a friend who has been an atheist for a long time told me of her trials to deal with anger, her work, and family troubles. She thought I seemed to have everything together. I told her that I struggled with a lot of things particularly in the past, and that I understood how it would be hard for her. She asked me what had changed. I told her about finding the Catholic Church, converting, and having a relationship with Jesus. I also told her about finding that Mary is my mother, and how being devoted to her has covered so many deep needs and hurts that I had carried my whole life.
I have also had several opportunities to encourage other people who were Catholic to go back to confession and Mass. I find God puts me in the path of "good" people who are Catholic but not practicing, or who practice but it hasn't brought the deep joy and intimacy that comes with a close relationship to Christ and the joy of the Holy Spirit.
I try to get to know them as individuals and then just invite them to more of the richness of the faith in an area that I think they need (like a basic tenant of the faith such as going to Mass on Sundays, confession, enjoying inspired music, service, or fellowship…anything that can engage their hearts more so they don't miss out or drift away or even just forget that their faith matters). I encourage them that what they are looking for they will likely find in the Catholic Church. Many people have told me that this helped them go back to church or that it helped them experience more of their faith.
I would encourage everyone who is in love with Jesus to consider telling people at least every now and then how much they love Jesus, how much they depend on Jesus for everything, and how a relationship with Him brings them so much hope, joy, and peace. People want to hear this and it impacts them.
Addendum: My Muslim friend told me that her role model is St. Teresa. I bought her a keychain with a picture and quote from St. Teresa, and a book about St. Teresa and service. She told me I have become her guardian angel. What she doesn't know yet is that it is Jesus loving her through me. People need us to share Him with them!
How are you responding to the call to proclaim God's love?
Upper Room would love to post other people's stories like this to build each other's faith and share evangelism ideas. Email your story for consideration to Christy at UpperRoom@ctkcc.net.

Q: Не работает SQL запрос в цикле while. Можно ли писать sql запросы в цикле? Я прогоняю в цикле первую таблицу db_jobs по условиям и с нее формирую массив
Внутри этого цикла мне нужно проверить  в другой таблице db_jobs_use на количество.
Но цикл останавливается. Я новичок поэтому и пишу в разделе для новичков.
Кто знает правильно ли это sql запрос внутри цикла и как это правильно записать?
$pay_job = array();
$db->Query("SELECT * FROM `db_jobs` WHERE `accept` = '1' ");
if($db->NumRows() == 0){
  array_push($pay_job, 0);
}else{
  while($datas = $db->FetchArray()) {
    $times_job = floor($datas['job_money']/$datas['pay']);
    $for_id_j = $datas['id'];
    $db->Query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `db_jobs_use` WHERE `id_job` = '$for_id_j' ");
    $forro = $db->FetchRow();
    $times_job = $times_job - $forro;
    if ($times_job <1) {
      array_push($pay_job, $datas['id']);
    }
  }
}

A: Если я правильно понял структуру базы то вот запрос который отдаст вам кол-во активных работ:
SELECT COUNT(*)
 FROM `db_jobs_use`
 LEFT JOIN `db_jobs` ON `db_jobs`.`id` = `db_jobs_use`.`id_job`
WHERE `db_jobs`.`accept` = '1'
GROUP BY `db_jobs_use`.`id_job`

A: Такой запрос:
SELECT J.id
  FROM db_jobs J
  LEFT JOIN db_jobs_use U ON J.id = U.id_job
 WHERE J.accept = 1
 GROUP BY J.id,J.job_money,J.pay
HAVING floor(J.job_money/J.pay) - COUNT(U.id_job) < 1

Выполнит за вас всю работу, которую вы делали в PHP, т.е. даст id только тех job, для которых количество записей в jobs_use больше либо равно job_money/pay. И тогда вам его надо один раз выполнить и выбрать записи буквально циклом while($datas = $db->FetchArray()) { array_push($pay_job, $datas['id']); }
Правда вы по нему не сможете проверить свое первое условие, что в jobs вообще нет ни одной записи с accept=1. Это лучше всего проверить запросом select 1 from db_jobs where accept=1 limit 1. Он вернет 1 только в случае если в таблице есть как минимум одна запись, что нам и требуется. И при этом не будет предварительно читать все записи с accept=1
P.S. запрос написан в предположении, что ваша БД поддерживает функцию floor. Большинство СУБД ее поддерживают. Но если вдруг ее нет (у вас SQLite или что нибудь экзотическое), надо будет найти ее эквивалент.

Q: Edge Collider on Tilemap via Script I am currently working on a game in Unity and I have a huge problem. I want to draw a level with a tilemap and then move the player on this tilemap. But I want to add an edge collider with the script at the start of the level, because I want to include a Level-Creator in the game. So, I cannot create every collider manual.
Here is an example picture of a "level":

I want to have an edge collider to prevent moving outside the tilemap, but I do not know how to implement that in code. I either cannot find anything helpful on web.
I would be glad about any ideas!

A: If you get the Collider component of your tilemap, you are able to access the "OverlapPoint" method. With this method you're able to make a basic edge detection system for your custom tile map.
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Collider2D.OverlapPoint.html
What I would do is:
Save Your player's current position in a "lastPosition" variable, check for every update if the corners are inside the collider with the "OverlapPoint" method. If not: do not save the current position but set the current position of the player to the lastPosition variable.
public Vector3 playerSize;
public Collider2d collider;
Vector2 lastPosition;

void Start()
{
    lastPosition = transform.position;
}

void Update()
{
    if(!collider.OverlapPoint(transform.position) ||
        !collider.OverlapPoint(transform.position + playerSize) ||
        !collider.OverlapPoint(transform.position + new Vector2(playerSize.x, 0)) ||
        !collider.OverlapPoint(transform.position + new Vector2(0, playerSize.y)))
    {
        transform.position = lastPosition;
    }

    lastPosition = transform.position;
}

Q: Permutation tests and multiple testing I'm using permutation tests, based on random forest importance measures, to perform variables selection in my dataset. Using $99$ permutations, my permutation tests $p$-values are comprised between $0.01$ and $1$.
As I am using this procedure with more than $300$ covariates, I considered the issue of multiple testing. However, with all the $p$-value adjustment procedures I considered (BH, q-value, etc.) none of my $p$-values remained significant. Is there an easy way to deal with multiple testing when using permutation tests?

A: You'll have to either (a) increase the number of permutations so the p-values won't have a lower bound as high as 0.01 (even with a single measure I'd use at least 1000 permutations!) or (b) incorporate multiple testing correction within the permutation testing. This can be achieved by the Max-T method: in each permutation, record the maximal statistic across all the 300 measures. You'll end up with a single empirical sampling distribution that describes the maximal statistic across all measures, given the null hypothesis. Then, for each measure in the unpermuted set, determine its p-value according to this distribution. The resulting 300 p-values will be already corrected for family-wise error.

Also i add some tags in Additional Post Headers: but that are not showing along with description and keywords.


The Rose Robin is essentially a forest bird, but as an altitudinal migrant they usually show up in the suburbs in the cooler months, especially in gardens with dense vegetation.
Birds are recorded through the winter months suggesting some are overwintering in Canberra. Almost none is recorded from October to March. Numbers increased in the middle years of the survey but have dropped off again recently, although the reason for this is not evident. The increase was associated with an increase in the time birds stayed in gardens and the number of weeks of the year in which they are recorded. R=75.

I created a polenta pizza topped with sautéed sweet potatoes and mixed veggies. It's a unique twist on an Italian classic, using flavors that won't really remind you of pizza at all, but it will feign the pizza experience. It is absolutely delicious and can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Make sure you try a slice!
Dessert pizza with chocolate coconut cream sauce is a healthy dessert alternative. Topped with freshly cut fruit and coconut flakes, it's a sweet end to a wholesome meal. Change it up as you go, and you'll never get bored. Enjoy!

This recognition followed Clint Murphy winning the Best Engineer Tui for Devilskin's Be Like The River at the second annual Artisan Awards in October.
To support the summer tour playing New Year's Eve in New Plymouth, January 2 in Wellington and January 3 in Napier, Devilskin have named Skinny Hobos as the main support act and Seas of Conflict will open at each gig.
This summer tour follows the hugely successful NZ TOUR 2017. Devilskin sold out 5 of 7 live shows in New Zealand towns this month. The overwhelming reaction to Devilskin's Live Shows has led the band to schedule some additional dates to support the towns they didn't get to.

Bryn Musselwhite takes a personal look at the Clark Family
Books, television programs and articles have all been written about Roger Clark, but what about his family? This is a very personal look at the man we all know and love.
Words and photography Bryn Musselwhite
Roger Albert Clark MBE. There's no need for a clever introduction or inspirational analogies, and an imaginative lead in would be a wasteful use of column space given the subject matter. There are few people in this world of fuel-based worship that have had so much media coverage in so many forms. His enduring appeal thanks no doubt to his approachable, friendly demeanour and his incredible success on land and sea just cementing the attraction.
Because of that coverage and it's natural bias to the man and the machines, we wanted to hear the story from the people that knew him best, his family. Wife Judy, sons Matt and Olly and their respective families all live in rural Leicestershire.
Judy, was Roger racing when you met?
The Leicester car club had this driving test day, which were normally in the yard of a pub. This guy kind of tapped up and I think he was in a Mini. They said he'd just come off a rally in the south of France, I didn't know what a rally was, I thought it was people holding placards and protesting. At the prize giving we came into contact and he had the nerve to ask if he could take me home.
What was the answer?
(smiling) I didn't see him again for twelve months, but we were married in 1966.
Haha, heady times, did life change at all?
For the first four years we used to come home and unpack, repack and go again. I was always welcome to go along with them.
What was it like balancing between home and international rally life?
I was only twenty when we were married and you take everyday as it is. Today I'm a housewife, tomorrow I'm a rally drivers wife. Did you ever worry when Roger was racing?
I was always very pleased when the flagged dropped and it was the end of the rally.
Did you ever ride in the passenger seat?
They used to do a lot of testing in Bagshot and once I went in the car with him, it felt so safe. I think after I'd had that experience I knew that he really did know what he was doing.
What drove Roger the man then?
It wasn't the publicity thing that appealed to him, he drove to win but he loved all of it. He wasn't an introvert, but something similar maybe.
Did he have any driver type superstitions?
Not really, although he took a funny little toy in his bag that I gave him when he signed for Ford.
He strikes us as being a very natural driver, did he ever get red mist?
He never gave me the feeling that he feared his own mortality, but I don't think he was a big risk merchant. When he was flying he would be very careful, he certainly wasn't gung ho about things.
He knew a thing or ten about the mechanical side of things didn't he?
He'd know when he came into service what was wrong. He grew up in Narborough where his Dad had a garage, it was a service garage to start then they became a Renault dealer.
Looking around the office, boats and planes are everywhere, they were a big part of his life then?
He loved swimming, in fact I think he played water polo for the county when he was younger. We started off with a little boat, 21ft and went up to a 36ft one which we kept in Lymington on the south coast, so we'd fly down there for trips. Our boating years were the early 70s, but he also raced powerboats for Ford in the 60s, not many people know that.
Looking through some literature we see that the boats were twin 6ltr turbocharged and intercooled diesel engined, Fairey Huntsman cruisers, but how does it feel surrounded by these images and trophies on a daily basis?
I love it, I think it was Olly or Matt that said everywhere you look there's another memory or something you haven't seen in a long time.
What's the most special to you?
Probably the MBE he got in December 1978. In fact I seem to remember that he was one of the first people in rallying to get one. That and the Segrave Trophy was very special to get, I think again he was the first rally driver.
The Segrave is awarded to "the Briton who accomplishes the most outstanding demonstration of the possibilities of transport by land, sea, air, or water." No small accolade then. What's stayed with you most from the rallying days?
The people we met and places we went, it wasn't like being a tourist as you really got into the depths of a country when rallying. It was very special.
Eldest son Matt started Roger Clark Motorsport with his father in 1991, so Matt did it ever strike you that your Dad was loved all over the world?
Because we grew up with the rallying, it was the way our life was at the time. We went on events as we got older, but it never jumped out on me that he was a well known rally driver.
What early memories have you got of your Dad, just being a Dad?
The first thing we ever did as kids was build a jeep thing from Mk1 running gear and shell, etc. Myself, Dad, Olly wire brushed it, it was great seeing something come together and then being able to drive it down the road.
Although you've raced extensively, you're more known these days for your engineering skills, what is it that appeals to you about that side of things?
Making them faster, making something impressive and winning. Starting with a pile of bits and ending up with something that does 200mph.
You shared other interests with your Dad?
I loved planes, I was mad for building models of them when I was young, more for the engineering of them and how they work than the flying.
Have you got any favourites when it comes to your Dads cars?
The Cossack Escort has always been one, it's just an amazing looking car plus what it achieved. We borrowed it from Ian Pritchard the owner once, that would be the one that I'd like to have in the corner of the workshop.
When you started RCM you worked alongside your Dad, do you remember him as a spanner man as much a driver?
I think of him more of a driver, than on the spanners. His sideways style, that's how I think of him. I think I took some of the mechanical side of him on and grown it for myself.
Although Judy might have hoped that youngest son Olly would be a professional Rugby player like her father, the cars were always there. What are your childhood memories then Olly?
The workshops next door are where Dad used to keep his plane, so it was normal to go out there and help him wheel it out (there's a rudimentary strip behind the house), then carrying his helmet bag out before he took off. That's what we did, because he flew to rally's and needed his helmet.
When he got home it was equally as memorable, Olly?
One of my earliest memories is of him coming home with a trophy sticking out of his bag, I used to ask him if he brought any presents back (referring to the trophies). I think that was the Lombard RAC trophy in 1976.
Roger competed in all sorts of motorsport didn't he?
I think another big memory was when I was watching Grandstand on a Saturday afternoon and Dickie Davis said, 'here comes Roger Clark'.
You've now become an accomplished driver in your right, has it ever been a burden carrying the Clark name?
I did the London to Sydney in 2000 and I remember looking up at the scoreboard and seeing these names Mouton, Mikkola, Blomqvist and Clark. That was special.
Fittingly Olly was co-driving a BDA equipped Escort, not without incident though.
We had engine trouble early on, which dropped us back to last place, slowly but surely we started climbing back up the leader board. Then on a stage in Thailand a driver from South Africa came up to me and said 'I see you're going to be coming past me, just to let you know I'll move over.' I thanked him and he said that he'd been on the London to Sydney in 1993 when Dad did it, except he hadn't pulled over when he'd come up behind him. So he'd been nudged three times, then Dad passed him the forth time. At the end of the stage the South African apologised when he realised it was the old boy, getting him to sign the dented rear panel of his car as a souvenir.
Haha, what was your Dad's motto?
Dad used to say when the flag drops, the bullshit stops. He also used to say if you set your stall out right from the start, you'll do well. Which is something that we've stuck with throughout.
Olly goes on to tells us of getting picked up from school in demonstrators from the family dealership, which in time encompassed Jensen, Lotus, Ford and others. Then of works cars that Roger would bring home the weekend before an event, 'to get the feel of them'. There are of course many other stories and fascinating anecdotes we don't have space for here, but the thing to remember here is that although Roger Albert Clark may be responsible for a lot of them. The family that surrounded him are just as significant in his story, in so many ways.

After several consecutive months of slowing demand for design services, the American Institute of Architect's Architectural Billings Index reported a modest uptick in January. The January ABI score was 50.4, up from 48.5 in December. The new projects inquiry index was 58.5, down a bit from the reading of 59.2 the previous month.
"There is enough optimism in the marketplace that business conditions should return to steady growth as the year progresses," said Kermit Baker, AIA chief economist, in the report.


Facebook has begun a TV and outdoor campaign in the UK, boasting of the social media site's ability to help create and sustain friendships.
Facebook's in-house creative team, The Factory, created the campaign, which is called "the friends".
The two TV spots open on people meeting and spending time together, as a British voiceover talks about the value of friendship. The ads are the first TV spots tailored to a UK audience.
The narrator does not mention Facebook specifically (the only branding comes at the end of the spot), but does use language associated with the site, such as "likes" "shares" and "friend request".
The first TV ad was released online on 14 February and aired on TV during coverage of a Uefa Champions League game. The second ad aired online on 17 February.
A Facebook spokesman said: "Facebook is a place where friends go to make meaningful connections. This regional campaign celebrates those connections and the different kinds of friendship that enrich our lives both on and off Facebook."
The campaign also includes outdoor ads in Oxford Street station in London.
The campaign was created by Scott Trattner, The Factory's executive creative director, who is based in California. Mindshare handled the media planning and buying in the UK.
Trattner joined Facebook as executive creative director in 2013. He was previously the executive creative director TBWA/Media Arts Lab, the agency that was established to serve Apple exclusively.

Q: Convert Array to Hash removing duplicate keys and adding values at the same time I have an array that looks like so:
f = [["Wed, 12-31", 120.0],["Thu, 01-01", 120.0], ["Thu, 01-01", 120.0]]

I can convert it to a hash and remove the duplicate keys:
h = Hash[ *f.collect { |v| [v] }.flatten ]
# => {"Wed, 12-31"=>120.0, "Thu, 01-01"=>120.0}

which is almost there, but I'd like to sum the value for elements with the identical date strings, the desired result from the above array would be this:
{"Wed, 12-31"=>120.0, "Thu, 01-01"=>240.0}

How can I accomplish this?

A: This works:
result = Hash.new(0)
f = [["Wed, 12-31", 120.0],["Thu, 01-01", 120.0], ["Thu, 01-01", 120.0]]
f.each { |subarray| result[subarray[0]] += subarray[1] }
puts result

If you would like to be fancy you could use .inject()

A: I'd use each_with_object:
ary = [["Wed, 12-31", 120.0], ["Thu, 01-01", 120.0], ["Thu, 01-01", 120.0]]

hash = ary.each_with_object(Hash.new(0)){ |(k,v), h| h[k] += v }
=> {"Wed, 12-31"=>120.0, "Thu, 01-01"=>240.0}

A: The other standard approach to this type of problem is to use Enumerable#group_by:
Hash[ary.group_by(&:first).map { |d,a| [d, a.reduce(0) { |t,(_,n)| t+n }] }]
  #=> {"Wed, 12-31"=>120.0, "Thu, 01-01"=>240.0}

We have:
a = ary.group_by(&:first)
  #=> {"Wed, 12-31"=>[["Wed, 12-31", 120.0]],
  #    "Thu, 01-01"=>[["Thu, 01-01", 120.0], ["Thu, 01-01", 120.0]]}
b = a.map { |d,a| [d, a.reduce(0) { |t,(_,n)| t+n }] }
  #=> [["Wed, 12-31", 120.0], ["Thu, 01-01", 240.0]]
Hash[b]
  #=> {"Wed, 12-31"=>120.0, "Thu, 01-01"=>240.0}

or with Ruby 2.0+:
b.to_h
  #=> {"Wed, 12-31"=>120.0, "Thu, 01-01"=>240.0}

A variant of this is:
ary.group_by(&:first).map { |d,a| [d, a.transpose.last.reduce(:+) ] }.to_h

Understanding what happened in Nido Tania's unfortunate death in Delhi is important to find an effective solution for racism and other related issues. Otherwise the only thing will happen is what happens always – a lot placards, vague promises, populist presumptions and short-term ineffective solutions.
The existence of racism can not be denied in India. One has to be completely untouched or brazenly naive to deny the existing of racism. But the kind of racism practiced in India is fundamentally different from the Black/White/Brown racism understood in popular culture. What is happening for a long time in India isn't what Martin Luther King or Mahatma Gandhi experienced. Due to the presence of numerously variant cultures in the sub-continent – not only is the problem of "racism" misunderstood but extremely sensitive and hard to solve.
The discrimination is of several varieties – economical, cultural, communal, caste, regional, xenophobic, skin-color and race. And it's not just uni-directional. There's not one perpetrator and one victim. People victimize each other on racist lines everywhere. South-Indians in North-India, North-Indians in South-India. Yes, North-easterners are called "chinkis", "chinese", "japani" in mainland. Bengalis are called "rasgullas" – the word "Bihari" is considered an insult. All south-Indians are "Madrasis" or "Idli-dosa" … all Sikhs are "foolish" at 12-o-clock. All Kashmiris are "terrorists". Even North-east India has a word for outsiders from mainland India "Dkhars".
We have grown up watching govt ads in public interest about "Unity in Diversity" … remember all those "Mile Sur Mera Tumhara" and many more? After independence and partition, bringing together variant cultures together in the form of one country was a hard task in front of new government. And for many years, the message of ekta / unity were the center-theme of bollywood and television. This was a good approach.
One big mistake however was that this approach "Unity in diversity" was never fine-tuned. Over a period of 6 decades all variant cultures in India should have become mainstream. But 67 years of independence and just north-Indians / Hindi speakers are mainstream in popular culture. This is where you should ask WHY?
This is why till today, students like Nido and many from North-East are still looked at as outsiders in nowhere but the capital of India. When media is screaming racism at his death, they're right, because north-eastern India is probably the only culture which is least mainstream. Till today, I hear how the directions are given how their food smells "weird", their women dress "weird", they look "weird", they talk weird" … WTH?
Off course it is about lack of education, lack of sensibilities, lack of sensitivity – but mostly because of the extreme lack of exposure to each other. Do you know that till today if somebody from the rest of India has to travel to North East needs to carry special permission – almost like a Visa? You knew about Kashmir, how it's hard to travel there – but you probably didn't know about North East. It's true.
Indian govt kept cultures segregated and termed this "special" – as if it was a good thing. Whatever was left to unite was divided by Caste-Religion-Region vote-bank politics. Had populations been allowed to freely intermingle and the divisive politics kept at minimum, 67 years is a long time for people to unite.
You should ask why north-India is mainstream and others are fringe-cultures? Clearly the nation and independence wasn't achieved without the sacrifices of people from all cultures, then why this difference? Why the superiority of north-Indians? One-word – Hindi. The native speakers of Hindi got a clear advantage.
You could declare all the love for the national language in the popular inseminated idea about patriotism – but the fact remains that in a culture teeming with language, races, religions – only a foreign language can create unity. A language which nobody owns and can equally call it's own. A language which can connect India with the rest of the world. English.
This post is not about proposing English language as the ultimate solution to this problem of segregation. English doesn't need to be declared official – it organically is, and will soon or less be realized. But till then it needs to be understood, that Hindi hasn't united India, but divided it. The so-called mainstream India needs to come-down it's high-horse and stop thinking that the rest of India is obligated to know and understand their ways to assimilate.
But people can't be expected to be this pragmatic, how can this culture of openness be promoted? It has to be promoted in a way that it is sub-consciously absorbed. It can't be done without popular media. With the influx of foreign programming, English-language media – the new generation is naturally more open to understanding to these differences that modern India has inherited. Now, the rest of India needs to be made sensitive to this.
Film and television, alone can make a lot of difference. Why don't we see a Punjabi guy romancing a Mizo girl? Why South Indian accent is still shown only in the ability of comedy? I mean 100-Crore Chennai Express was a penny-worth in representing south Indians? Why south Indian actresses have to be exceptionally fair? Dusky actresses happen to do well in Hindi film industries – Priyanka, Deepkia, Bipasha – the list is long. But you move towards south, where majority population is dark skinned, yet the film-heroines are ivory fair? What's the obsession with skin-color? What is it, latent inferiority complex?
The problem of racism is multi-dimensional and more cultural than criminal. Coming back to death of Nido Tania. The sequence of events tell that first he was ridiculed for hair-color, then he broke the glass, then their was a scuffle. Police got involved and as usual was negligent and dismissive. A minor scuffle got blown out of proportion – and Nido was beaten again. The next day, the young boy unexpectedly succumbed to internal injuries. A tragedy of the highest order.
But anybody could have been in his place, a Bihari, a South-Indian, a Kashmiri – even a "mainstream" looking Delhiite. Racism does exist – may be it was the culprit in this case, may be not. The boy is dead and those who're culturally programmed to be hostile to outsiders will continue to be like that. Some hearts will change, some will learn the hard way, if a strong anti-racism law become the reality. But a larger, long-lasting change will only come through meticulous work on socio-cultural front. And that won't happen by screaming in television debates – making everybody a criminal. That is sensationalism, and it thrives on ugliness of the news. The uglier the better. Solutions will only come with well thought-out long-term solutions.
