Our market research methods are always creative and never by the book. By combining one or more market research methods we explore issues and opportunities in new ways. For example, by using qualitative research we dig deeper, and also uncover new insights. By sharing creative stimulus with consumers challenges their way of thinking, and inspires new ideas. In addition, through quantitative research we assess the size and nature of opportunities. All ensures more reliable findings, and inspires more successful products, services, communications and brands.
Consumers rarely make choices based on narrow definitions of markets; getting close up to observe and record behaviour uncovers richer needs, beliefs and decision making influences.
Creativity isn't the preserve of the few. It is inbuilt in all of us - especially the Chairman's wife! By working with you, technical experts and consumers in creative workshops we generate more ideas and build better solutions.
As consumers respond from their own frame of reference and memories, taking them out of their comfort zones and provides new experiences revealing what's forgotten, hidden or previously unconsidered.
Combining quantitative with qualitative techniques helps assess causes, associated effects and their relative importance. This helps distinguish the really great ideas from the rest and provide more decision making confidence.
As cultures are different and some demographics such as children are less articulate we use creative stimulus to uncover deeper thoughts and feelings and to compare across language divides.

At the AG Injury Law Office , we care about our clients and are always compassionate towards their needs.

Lies never make things easier in the long run. Unless they're to exactly the right person - usually a woman - at exactly the right time. When you tell them to yourself, you just bring more trouble.
Will there be an Art section eventually?
I know it's only a week since this site opened and I'm not being impatient, I just wondering/hoping there would be.
I would like to see an art section as well.


Every year at the Honolulu Advertiser, I write a short roundup of some of the stand-out books I reviewed or read during the past year. Here are my Best Books of 2009, not all-inclusive, of course, but, I hope, helpful all the same.
The epigrammatic poems comprising Wayne Kaumuali'i Westlake's 'new' collection reveal the day-by-day creation of his poetic philosophy—a Taoist-Hawaiian cultural spirituality with a later dose of taut political awareness. Smartly arranged by theme courtesy of local poet Richard Hamasaki, Westlake's verse provides a remarkably intimate and complex self-portrait of man and poet. And though he died in 1984 at age 36, his pungent catalogue of multifaceted, everyday life experiences remain relevant today. Whether mischievous or thoughtful, his poems consciously wander landscapes of time and space, shine with form and rhythm, exploding from tradition—rewarding reflections that nearly convince Hawai'i should only be written about this way.
Diverse writer and New Yorker editor Ben Greenman's sharp, ebullient new novel has inherent star quality and sparkling prose that, for the moment at least, shines brighter than any previous work. The novel's third-person narrator sticks close to its larger-than-life funk-star protagonist, the prose resounding with crisp language tuned to the era's slang as Foxx speaks to everyone in mesmerizing riddles and rhymes. But Greenman doesn't forget the more important B-side—he centers alternating sections on Foxx's wife Betty, the woman who, unbeknownst to Foxx, keeps him grounded and sane. The narrative pulses with natural beat, never betraying a stray word or scene, instantly drawing readers into its current and refusing to settle down until the very last sentence. "Please Step Back " finishes like the closing of a beautiful record, one that can be turned over and listened to again—until Greenman releases his next big hit.
In his sinewy new novel, published posthumously, Ian MacMillan, who died in 2008, showcases a lifetime of keen observation of his Kailua home via terse, economic prose nonetheless rich with detail and energy. MacMillan seizes readers' attention from the first words of this deceptively simple story about an ancient mystery and hidden treasure that ensnares a small group of people with competing motivations, sustaining a kind of caffeine-buzz tension that refuses to die out even at the end. The narrative facilely bounces through a kaleidoscope of perspectives, maintaining a quick plot pace as characters discover something more valuable within themselves, ultimately unfolding a subtly authentic tale of greed, loss, and the downfalls and saving graces of human nature. Great writers leave you wanting more, and with "The Bone Hook ," MacMillan once again proved his greatness. Lucky for us, there's another book due out next year.
At first glance, Fiennes' newest memoir is an ingenuous ode to a childhood lived in a 700-year-old moated English castle, where tour groups surrounded him and playing in ancient rooms loosed his imagination. Yet Fiennes quickly pokes holes in this idyllic depiction, letting in darker anecdotes revealing his epileptic brother Richard's truly frightening behavior. These, along with scientific excerpts on the history of the brain and mind, punctuate and interrupt Fiennes' otherwise poetic, dreamy and swirling narrative, just like the outbursts once disrupted family life. Intensely personal, "The Music Room " resurrects, probes, and compassionately preserves a specific time and place, finally meditating on how what one inherits can define and forever shape our lives, and our minds.
In his new and evocative historical novel, Paul Malmont soars on the wings of Jack London's personal history, the first fictional work about this American literature icon, set against the backdrop of early-1900s Hawai'i. London is presented as a riveting hero in the last years of his life, and Malmont courageously, if also romantically, resurrects turn of the century Hawaiian society, complete with captivating depictions of Queen Lili'uokalani, Duke's beachboys, surfing, Kamehameha's Nu'uanu Pali battle, and more. Perfectly detailed and well researched, the novel offers entry to a complete and irresistible dream where following your passion—whether writing, movie-making or love—can deliver the world.

Amsterdam (seen here) is the capital of the Netherlands, and the most populous city in the country. It's located in the province of North Holland. George Pachantouris/Getty Images
When you hear the word Holland, you probably envision brightly colored tulips, winding canals, windmills, cheese and even those adorable wooden shoes.
You also might think that Holland — which boasts the densely populated and well-known cities of Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague (Den Haag) — is its own country. But, technically, you'd be wrong.
Although Holland has become a universally accepted name for the Netherlands (and the government's travel website for the country is even Holland.com), it actually is just a region of the northwestern European country. Put simply, Holland is convenient shorthand for the more cumbersome term the Netherlands.
So, when did this confusion of names first begin? We can trace one story back to Dutch sailors who traversed the open seas during the Golden Age in search of new land, trade routes and spices. When asked what country they were from, the sailors were known to say they were from North or South Holland, which made many outsiders believe Holland was a country.
But the Netherlands itself has gone through many name changes over the years, just adding to the confusion.
From 1588 to 1795, the nation was known as the Republic of Seven United Netherlands. After the republic was conquered by French troops in 1795, it became the Batavian Republic. French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte named his brother Louis king in 1806, turning the country into a kingdom.
After Napoleon's withdrawal from the area, the Netherlands remained a kingdom ruled by William VI of Orange. William VI was sovereign prince of the Dutch Republic, and in 1815 he became king of the United Netherlands, which included the southern Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
But in 1831, leading European powers decided Belgium should be independent and the Netherlands as we know it today came to be. At that time, the area known as Holland made the biggest contribution to the entire nation's economy and wealth. So, it was the most commonly used name to indicate the entire country.
This map shows how Holland makes up just two of the provinces in all of the Netherlands.
©HowStuffWorks
In reality, Holland makes up just two of 12 provinces of the Netherlands — North and South Holland (or Noord- and Zuid-Holland), which are located on the west coast of country. North and South Holland are home to the country's capital Amsterdam; its seat of government, The Hague; and Europe's most important port, The Port of Rotterdam.
The other 10 provinces in the Netherlands are Zeeland, Noord-Brabant, Utrecht, Flevoland, Friesland, Groningen, Drenthe, Overijssel, Gelderland and Limburg, and each has its own capital, self-rule and administration. So essentially that means simply calling the Netherlands "Holland" is similar to referring to the United Kingdom as England. It is correct and appropriate, however, to say that you are traveling to Holland if you are visiting Amsterdam, for example.
Now, how do you refer to the people who live in the Netherlands (and Holland)? In short, Dutch is the broadest term used to describe all the people of the Netherlands. Those from the provinces of North and South Holland are often referred to as Hollanders. The Dutch use Nederlands as one way to describe the Dutch, and Nederlanders when referring to the people of the Netherlands, but these terms are rarely used in the English language.
Still confused? No worries. Most Dutch people will pardon visitors who mix up these terms. Just don't confuse them with the Danish. That's a whole different story.
NOW THAT'S INTERESTING
The rules about the country's name typically go completely out the window during any type of international sporting event, whether it's the World Cup, European Cup or Olympics. It's said that the same Dutch person who steadfastly tells you the name of their country is the Netherlands will suddenly be shouting "Hup Holland. Hup" right along with the rest of the country. Loosely translated that means: "Come on Holland. Come on."

It's clear from watching John Bobango (JD '83) and his daughter Mary Lauren (JD '19) that they're close. There's an easy going sort of back-and-forth between them that is endearing to see, even in the middle of a photo shoot when a lot of people would be uncomfortable. It comes through when Mary Lauren brushes something off John's shoulder or tells him to smile, and when John proudly lights up when his daughter speaks or laughs. It's evident in the way their answers to questions for this article often resembled each other's, even though they were interviewed separately. Both of them talk about the importance of family, but not like a lot of people do in a stereotypical, canned response sort of way. Family is clearly something that's important to both of them and ties them together. They both attended law school here - as did John's wife and Mary Lauren's mother, Lisa (JD '83). While they've both lived elsewhere and could have chosen to practice law anywhere, it's clear that they're on the right path back here in Memphis practicing together, and in many ways, learning from each other while watching their relationship evolve into a new phase.
The name Bobango (i.e. the law firm of Farris Bobango PLC) is so synonymous with Memphis, both within and outside of the legal community, that it feels like the family has always been a part of the city. But despite picking up an easy going southern way of speaking, John came to Memphis from across the country and life has kept bringing him back here over the years.
"My father was in the Navy and I actually grew up on the West Coast, in the San Francisco area and in Hawaii until I was 14 or 15, and then my dad retired when we moved to Millington," said John. He finished up high school in Memphis and went to undergrad at nearby Arkansas State University.
But his journey once again led back to Memphis, when after graduation he was offered a job as a traveling chapter consultant for his fraternity Pi Kappa Alpha (Pike), which was headquartered here in Memphis, by then Pike CEO Pat Halloran. The job took him all over the country, working with various chapters and Pike alumni in cities throughout the U.S. But along the way, he kept having discussions with fraternity alumni who were attorneys, which piqued his interest in the law. He soon moved back to Memphis and took a job with a local bank, but law school kept coming up as an option.
"I knew that I liked Memphis, I loved the people and the community, and I wanted to stay in Memphis, and the lawyers I knew here were very encouraging about staying here and attending law school at the University of Memphis," said John of his decision. "Memphians always want to improve the community and they welcome anyone that can help make that happen and have the same spirit that I think the city has."
John has ample reason to remember his time at Memphis Law fondly beyond just getting his JD. He met his wife Lisa here as well. Though they met each other in their first semester, it wasn't until halfway through their 2L year that they started dating. By the time their 3L year rolled around, they were in every class together, which John credits as a tiny "trade secret" to his law school success. "Lisa is extremely bright and takes tremendously fantastic notes," noted John. "So I got the benefit of getting to look over her notes, as well as my own, but hers were much better."
Life then took the two of them away from Memphis again with their decision to move to Florida and enroll at the University of Florida for John's LLM degree in taxation and Lisa's master's in business. There was a year's difference in the length of their programs there, so when John wrapped up his LLM, Lisa still had a year left. That's when John's road back to the Mid-South inadvertently started once again.
"I saw a job posting at the law school for a law firm based in Little Rock/Pine Bluff, Ark., and I was intrigued about why a firm from there was interviewing at the University of Florida," said John. "I decided to interview with them just for the practice experience, since after law school I knew I was going straight to graduate school and didn't get to interview anywhere at the time."
It didn't take long before John was hired by that firm and moved back to Arkansas to work while Lisa finished her graduate degree in Florida. He traveled all over the country every week during that first year while they were in their long-distance relationship, but she soon moved to Arkansas with him for a job at a prominent financial institution in Little Rock. They lived and worked like that for three years when suddenly Memphis came calling again, this time with Lisa as the impetus.
She was recruited out of the blue by a subsidiary of Union Planters Bank for a move to its offices in Memphis. She accepted the position and in 1987 the Bobangos moved back to Memphis. They have been here with their family ever since.
Their daughter Mary Lauren grew up in Memphis, went to St. George's Independent School for K-12 and wanted to see what it was like outside of Memphis as well, so she went to Auburn University, where she started out on a very different path than her father.
"Initially, I was a pre-nursing major at Auburn," said Mary Lauren. "But the summer after my freshman year, I had what I call my quarter-life crisis. I felt like it was just such a specific path and job and I was scared I was pigeon-holing myself."
On the advice of her father, she shifted to a degree path in business and marketing, but still didn't really have law school, or even Memphis, in mind for her next steps after graduation.
"No one in my family ever pushed me toward law school, but it has always been there in the background throughout my whole life," said Mary Lauren. "But, especially because of who my dad is, I never wanted to fully commit to law school unless it was something I was ready to embrace wholeheartedly."
So, like her father, she got some wide-ranging experience around the country (and the world) before she really settled on the idea of where her career was going to go. First, she did a mission trip to China. Then after her sophomore year, she interned in Washington, D.C. for Tennessee Senator Bob Corker in constituent affairs. After that, she spent a summer working at FedEx in their marketing division, with the thought that she might go straight into that division after graduation. Ultimately, law school won out and she turned down an offer from FedEx, took the LSAT, and started looking at law schools.
"I knew I wanted to go to a bigger city after Auburn," said Mary Lauren. At first, she was reluctant to come back to Memphis. "I was thinking D.C., New York, something like that. Knowing how involved my dad and my parents have been in Memphis and the law school, I thought I just wanted to do my own thing a little bit and maybe go somewhere else."
But ultimately she realized that Memphis could offer her the best of two worlds without some of the disadvantages another city would present. She could come to Memphis, attend law school and get the bigger city she'd been looking for at a time when Memphis was really growing and becoming appealing to a younger generation. But she wouldn't be faced with the daunting idea of moving by herself to an entirely new city and becoming established there, discovering it for herself and losing some of her focus on law school. In other words, Memphis was newer and bigger, but it was also familiar.
Like her mother and father, Mary Lauren is incredibly smart. She knew having her family and support structure here while in law school, in a city where she could enjoy living but not become overwhelmed, would be the ideal environment for her to excel in law school.
"It was just so amazing going through law school with parents who understood what it was like and to have them there when I needed them," she said. "It was nice to not have to explain anything to them. It was just nice to have a support system nearby that understood everything."
John also saw some of himself and his wife in Mary Lauren throughout law school.
"Mary Lauren is a really good combination of both Lisa and myself," said John. "She's really analytical like her mother and processes things really well. She is a tremendous listener and learner. I think both of us really liked law school for the learning aspect of it and she takes advantage of every learning opportunity that she's given."
And she's wanted to always be clear that her opportunities are a part of her own hard work and not just her family name. It's important to her, and over the course of law school, is something that evolved on its own.
"I feel like because of the hard work and focus on my classes I had throughout law school, the focus changed from the attention on my last name alone to the attention coming from my own achievements and accomplishments," she noted. "I wanted so badly to do well in law school. I never really went out. People were going to bar review and I was like 'But we have class on Friday! I need to prepare!'"
Her thoughtful decisions and ability to listen and learn must have worked, because she graduated No. 1 in her class in May 2019.
Now there are two Bobangos at the Fariss Bobango firm, and Mary Lauren and her dad have entered a new stage of their relationship. John is excited to see his daughter learn and grow. Mary Lauren is looking forward to learning from her dad (she says he loves a "teaching moment") and is becoming more and more comfortable with where her path is taking her, regardless if it looks similar to her fathers in some ways.
"I always wanted to keep an open mind about where I worked and what I wanted to practice," said Mary Lauren. "But I realized in law school that I really just did not want to be a litigator. I started leaning more toward transactional work and it was just a natural progression and natural fit for me to end up working alongside my dad."
And her dad isn't surprised about that natural fit either.
"I really think she'll enjoy business transactions just like I do, because she is really good at putting a puzzle together," John said of her. "For me, in regard to working together, it's really a few big things: It's always great when you get to spend more time with one of your children, no matter what, but it's also been fun to watch Mary Lauren learn and her legal mind develop to where it is today. It's really rewarding to know that whatever skill sets and things that people have taught me, I get to pass on to her and help her learn and make a living."

Q: how to use variable on FormulaR1C1 i don't know how to use Varibale (For example X ).
With this code im looking for PS16111 which is a PO number, I create a new Column, then every rows has the same value will be #N/A, then at the end of this code I will delete those #N/A lines which means that all PS16111 will be deleted. this is what I want to do but with different Inputs.
I tried different way to use a variable instead of PS16111 but i couldn't find any way.
Thanks.
Columns(3).EntireColumn.Insert
With Range("C2:C" & ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count)
        .FormulaR1C1 = =IF(RC[1]="""","""",IF(RC[1]=""PS16111"",NA()))"

        .Value = .Value

        On Error Resume Next

        .SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, xlErrors).EntireRow.Delete

End With

On Error GoTo 0

Columns(3).EntireColumn.Delete

A: First you are missing a leading " in your formula
Then to answer your question, use
x = "PS16111"
rng.FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(RC[1]="""","""",IF(RC[1]=""" & x & """,NA()))"

will result in the formula
=IF(B1="","",IF(B1="PS16111",NA()))

A: 'Before everything Thanks to chris neilsen to complete the puzzle.
I put all codes together in this case you want to use this in your project.
With this code you will be able to find a String located in C2 in Sheet2.
Then back to Sheet1 and create a new empty Column C
Then count how many lines are in the Sheet1
Then looking for Variable X and if it found it will be #N/A , if not False.
All rows contain #N/A value will be deleted.
At the end Column C will be delete.

Ion Tiriac believes that Serena Williams did not get punished enough for her actions during the US Open final against Naomi Osaka. Serena got a point and game penalty mid-match and the day after, she was fined $17,000. Tiriac made a comparison with Ilie Nastase, who will not serve as Romania's Fed Cup team captain until 2021 for his actions in April 2017 and his claims on Serena's skin color.
'This is sexism! How can you ban Nastase for three years without listening to him? How can you give her a $17,000 fine, when someone got banned for around five years. She is just one of the four billion mothers having children,' said Tiriac as quoted by DigiSport.
Tiriac also criticized FC Barcelona star Gerard Pique for coming up with the new Davis Cup format: 'Now we have to take lessons from a footballer. 18 teams over seven days, playing for money. I told Pique to stay in football.
I spoke to Blatter to make him get back to football. He does not understand anything, but it does not surprise me, he is a footballer.' Tiriac also criticized Serena for her withdrawal from the French Open fourth-round match earlier this year against Maria Sharapova: 'All these people, who are big personalities, sometimes do things that should not be done.

Q: Simpler to way to do == x or y, x etc I'm trying to recode a dataframe and assign everything above the value of 11 to a finite limit to just one number.
constant_newspapers[constant_newspapers$f_paperm2 == c(11:24)]             <- 11

I didn't think the vector notation would work but I thought it worth a try! As an aside, is there a way to do this within in the tidyverse universe ?

A: The pmin() (parallel minimum) function will do this efficiently. pmin() is a base-R function, but will work perfectly well in conjunction with tidyverse machinery.
constant_newspapers$f_paperm2 <- pmin(11,constant_newspapers$f_paperm2)

or in tidyverse maybe:
constant_newspapers %<>%
       mutate_at("f_paperm2", ~ pmin(., 11))

pmin() works because your criterion is a simple numerical bound.  If you wanted (e.g.) to change values 14, 17, and 20 to 0 (and your data set contained some of the values between, you'd need %in% as previously suggested in a comment:
constant_newspapers %<>%
   mutate_at("f_paperm2",
        ~ ifelse(. %in% target_values,
               replace_value, .))

or
constant_newspapers %<>%
   mutate_at("f_paperm2",
        ~ replace(.,which(. %in% target_values,
                  replace_value)))


I am reviewing the KitchenAid Side by Side refrigerator Model #KSC23C8EYY. I purchased it in June of 2013 and now, in September of 2016, I am in the midst of my FOURTH repair episode. The first one occurred just three months after purchasing, and it took several visits for a repairman to find and replace the cracked water line. The second episode, 11 months after purchasing, resulted in the icemaker and water valve being replaced. After owning the unit for a year and a half, the freezer stopped operating and it was determined that the control board had to be replaced. Now, two years after that, again, cooling has ceased. This time I've been told it's the compressor that needs to be replaced. It took KitchenAid's authorized service six days to come to my apartment and it will be another 3-7 days before the compressor is replaced. I've thrown out hundreds of dollars worth of food, again, and am again faced with living for two weeks without refrigeration. This appliance is 3.5 years old and it has given me nothing but grief.
I have last year's version of this refrigerator, purchased in January 2015. Only 19 months old, and it died, needing three major parts which still have not arrived in almost two weeks. Not a good experience, and I would not purchase Kitchen Aid again.

Q: Sum of digits of a factorial Link to the original problem
It's not a homework question. I just thought that someone might know a real solution to this problem.
I was on a programming contest back in 2004, and there was this problem:

Given n, find sum of digits of n!. n can be from 0 to 10000. Time limit: 1 second. I think there was up to 100 numbers for each test set.

My solution was pretty fast but not fast enough, so I just let it run for some time. It built an array of pre-calculated values which I could use in my code. It was a hack, but it worked.
But there was a guy, who solved this problem with about 10 lines of code and it would give an answer in no time. I believe it was some sort of dynamic programming, or something from number theory. We were 16 at that time so it should not be a "rocket science".
Does anyone know what kind of an algorithm he could use?
EDIT: I'm sorry if I didn't made the question clear. As mquander said, there should be a clever solution, without bugnum, with just plain Pascal code, couple of loops, O(n2) or something like that. 1 second is not a constraint anymore.
I found here that if n > 5, then 9 divides sum of digits of a factorial. We also can find how many zeros are there at the end of the number. Can we use that?
Ok, another problem from programming contest from Russia. Given 1 <= N <= 2 000 000 000, output N! mod (N+1). Is that somehow related?

A: This is A004152 in the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences. Unfortunately, it doesn't have any useful tips about how to calculate it efficiently - its maple and mathematica recipes take the naive approach.

A: I'd attack the second problem, to compute N! mod (N+1), using Wilson's theorem. That reduces the problem to testing whether N is prime.

A: I'm not sure who is still paying attention to this thread, but here goes anyway.
First, in the official-looking linked version, it only has to be 1000 factorial, not 10000 factorial.  Also, when this problem was reused in another programming contest, the time limit was 3 seconds, not 1 second.  This makes a huge difference in how hard you have to work to get a fast enough solution.
Second, for the actual parameters of the contest, Peter's solution is sound, but with one extra twist you can speed it up by a factor of 5 with 32-bit architecture.  (Or even a factor of 6 if only 1000! is desired.)  Namely, instead of working with individual digits, implement multiplication in base 100000.  Then at the end, total the digits within each super-digit.  I don't know how good a computer you were allowed in the contest, but I have a desktop at home that is roughly as old as the contest.  The following sample code takes 16 milliseconds for 1000! and 2.15 seconds for 10000!  The code also ignores trailing 0s as they show up, but that only saves about 7% of the work.
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
    unsigned int dig[10000], first=0, last=0, carry, n, x, sum=0;
    dig[0] = 1;
    for(n=2; n <= 9999; n++) {
        carry = 0;
        for(x=first; x <= last; x++) {
            carry = dig[x]*n + carry;
            dig[x] = carry%100000;
            if(x == first && !(carry%100000)) first++;
            carry /= 100000; }
        if(carry) dig[++last] = carry; }
    for(x=first; x <= last; x++)
        sum += dig[x]%10 + (dig[x]/10)%10 + (dig[x]/100)%10 + (dig[x]/1000)%10
            + (dig[x]/10000)%10;
    printf("Sum: %d\n",sum); }

Third, there is an amazing and fairly simple way to speed up the computation by another sizable factor.  With modern methods for multiplying large numbers, it does not take quadratic time to compute n!.  Instead, you can do it in O-tilde(n) time, where the tilde means that you can throw in logarithmic factors.  There is a simple acceleration due to Karatsuba that does not bring the time complexity down to that, but still improves it and could save another factor of 4 or so.  In order to use it, you also need to divide the factorial itself into equal sized ranges.  You make a recursive algorithm prod(k,n) that multiplies the numbers from k to n by the pseudocode formula
prod(k,n) = prod(k,floor((k+n)/2))*prod(floor((k+n)/2)+1,n)

Then you use Karatsuba to do the big multiplication that results.
Even better than Karatsuba is the Fourier-transform-based Schonhage-Strassen multiplication algorithm.  As it happens, both algorithms are part of modern big number libraries.  Computing huge factorials quickly could be important for certain pure mathematics applications.  I think that Schonhage-Strassen is overkill for a programming contest.  Karatsuba is really simple and you could imagine it in an A+ solution to the problem.

Part of the question posed is some speculation that there is a simple number theory trick that changes the contest problem entirely.  For instance, if the question were to determine n! mod n+1, then Wilson's theorem says that the answer is -1 when n+1 is prime, and it's a really easy exercise to see that it's 2 when n=3 and otherwise 0 when n+1 is composite.  There are variations of this too; for instance n! is also highly predictable mod 2n+1.  There are also some connections between congruences and sums of digits.  The sum of the digits of x mod 9 is also x mod 9, which is why the sum is 0 mod 9 when x = n! for n >= 6.  The alternating sum of the digits of x mod 11 equals x mod 11.
The problem is that if you want the sum of the digits of a large number, not modulo anything, the tricks from number theory run out pretty quickly.   Adding up the digits of a number doesn't mesh well with addition and multiplication with carries.  It's often difficult to promise that the math does not exist for a fast algorithm, but in this case I don't think that there is any known formula.  For instance, I bet that no one knows the sum of the digits of a googol factorial, even though it is just some number with roughly 100 digits.

A: Small, fast python script found at http://www.penjuinlabs.com/blog/?p=44. It's elegant but still brute force.
import sys
for arg in sys.argv[1:]:
    print reduce( lambda x,y: int(x)+int(y),
          str( reduce( lambda x, y: x*y, range(1,int(arg)))))

sys     0m0.062s

A: Assume you have big numbers (this is the least of your problems, assuming that N is really big, and not 10000), and let's continue from there.
The trick below is to factor N! by factoring all n<=N, and then compute the powers of the factors.
Have a vector of counters; one counter for each prime number up to N; set them to 0. For each n<= N, factor n and increase the counters of prime factors accordingly (factor smartly: start with the small prime numbers, construct the prime numbers while factoring, and remember that division by 2 is shift). Subtract the counter of 5 from the counter of 2, and make the counter of 5 zero (nobody cares about factors of 10 here).
compute all the prime number up to N,  run the following loop
for (j = 0; j< last_prime; ++j) {
  count[j] = 0;
  for (i = N/ primes[j]; i; i /= primes[j])
    count[j] += i;
}

Note that in the previous block we only used (very) small numbers.
For each prime factor P you have to compute P to the power of the appropriate counter, that takes log(counter) time using iterative squaring; now you have to multiply all these powers of prime numbers.
All in all you have about N log(N) operations on small numbers (log N prime factors), and Log N Log(Log N) operations on big numbers.
and after the improvement in the edit, only N operations on small numbers.
HTH

A: 1 second?  Why can't you just compute n! and add up the digits?  That's 10000 multiplications and no more than a few ten thousand additions, which should take approximately one zillionth of a second.

A: You have to compute the fatcorial.
1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5 = 120.
If you only want to calculate the sum of digits, you can ignore the ending zeroes.
For 6! you can do 12 x 6 = 72 instead of 120 * 6
For 7! you can use (72 * 7) MOD 10
EDIT.
I wrote a response too quickly...
10 is the result of two prime numbers 2 and 5.
Each time you have these 2 factors, you can ignore them.
1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5 * 6 * 7 * 8 * 9 * 10 * 11 * 12 * 13 * 14 * 15...

1   2   3   2   5   2   7   2   3    2   11    2   13    2    3
            2       3       2   3    5         2         7    5
                            2                  3

The factor 5 appears at 5, 10, 15...
Then a ending zero will appear after multiplying by 5, 10, 15...
We have a lot of 2s and 3s...  We'll overflow soon :-(
Then, you still need a library for big numbers.
I deserve to be downvoted!

A: Let's see. We know that the calculation of n! for any reasonably-large number will eventually lead to a number with lots of trailing zeroes, which don't contribute to the sum. How about lopping off the zeroes along the way? That'd keep the sizer of the number a bit smaller?
Hmm. Nope. I just checked, and integer overflow is still a big problem even then...

A: Even without arbitrary-precision integers, this should be brute-forceable. In the problem statement you linked to, the biggest factorial that would need to be computed would be 1000!. This is a number with about 2500 digits. So just do this:

*

*Allocate an array of 3000 bytes, with each byte representing one digit in the factorial. Start with a value of 1.

*Run grade-school multiplication on the array repeatedly, in order to calculate the factorial.

*Sum the digits.

Doing the repeated multiplications is the only potentially slow step, but I feel certain that 1000 of the multiplications could be done in a second, which is the worst case. If not, you could compute a few "milestone" values in advance and just paste them into your program.
One potential optimization: Eliminate trailing zeros from the array when they appear. They will not affect the answer.
OBVIOUS NOTE: I am taking a programming-competition approach here. You would probably never do this in professional work.

A: another solution using BigInteger
 static long q20(){
    long sum = 0;
    String factorial = factorial(new BigInteger("100")).toString();
    for(int i=0;i<factorial.length();i++){
        sum += Long.parseLong(factorial.charAt(i)+"");
    }
    return sum;
}
static BigInteger factorial(BigInteger n){
    BigInteger one = new BigInteger("1");
    if(n.equals(one)) return one;
    return n.multiply(factorial(n.subtract(one)));
}

The Emir of Birnin Gwari in Kaduna State, Malam Zubair Jibril Mai Gwari II has said that the biggest threat to the North is insecurity.
According to him insecurity especially in the form of Boko Haram, armed banditry and ethnic clashes in the northeast, northcentral and northwest constitutes the biggest threat to Nigeria and its neighbors.
He said that Nigeria needs to develop a strong mechanism of tolerance because the unfortunate religious crises and ethnic clashes in some parts of the North could be avoided through tolerance.

Mallam Jibril added that Nigeria can only be said to be developed when the teeming youths can engage in various businesses, transforming their talent and skills to produced goods for survival.
His words, "Nigeria must evolve a strong mechanism of tolerance because our national development is indeed based on that. The unfortunate religious crises and ethnic clashes in some parts of Taraba, Benue and Plateau States could have well been intercepted and avoided if we have evolved tolerance mechanism among us.
"Nigeria can be said to be developed only when our teeming youth can engage in various businesses, transforming their talents and skills to produce goods that we need for survival. Nigeria can boost of development only when it uses the God-given opportunity not only to be agrarian but principally a nation that produces and processes agricultural goods for both internal and external use. When that is achieved, we can then feel secure from Food Insecurity.
"Insecurity especially in the form of Boko Haram insurgency in Northeast, Ethnic clashes in North Central, armed banditry in North West, constitutes the biggest threat being faced by this country and its neighbors. For instance, in Kaduna state, several local government areas are severely affected by bandits. Our story in Birnin Gwari of Kaduna state is that of agony and sympathy. The armed bandits have made hell out of the people's lives in my area. They have completely ravaged the areas by armed robbery, armed banditry, cattle rustling and abductions.
"Our agricultural and socio-economic sectors have been crippled. Still in Kaduna state, areas like that of Sabon Birni in Igabi, Chikun and some places in Southern Kaduna are still battling with armed robbers and armed bandits. The story is same with Zamfara state where people are being killed on daily basis by the same armed bandits and agriculture is seriously crippled.


Alex Shirley-Smith was a tree house architect. In 2013, fed up with designing custom-made suspended abodes that bordered on the extravagant for his wealthy clientele, he returned to earth and decided to find a new way up. With a friend, Kirk Kirchev, he set to work designing a tent that would perform much the same function as those houses: lifting people above nature and, he thinks, elevating the whole experience of camping.
His London-based company, Tentsile, makes strong tree tents that give ecotourists the amusement of sleeping in a tree house without the hassle of permanence or price. Though it's only two years old, Tentsile is already striking deals with retailers like REI and Backcountry.com, among other global retailers and distributors, who recognize what may be a growing trend.
The camping industry is returning to pre-recession levels, and ecotourism vacations are on the rise too. According to a 2012 survey on TripAdvisor, 71% of respondents said they would make environmentally friendly travel decisions within the next 12 months, up six percentage points from the year before. These types of travelers are interested in visiting untouched, natural terrain while giving back to the local community.
In the world of camping and outdoor sports, tree tents fill a space that is somewhere between the extreme sport of vertical camping, which is popular with rock climbers, and hammock camping, for solo hikers. Vertical campers use portable hanging tent systems called portaledges, or portable ledges, to suspend a rigid cot from one anchor point when they want to take a nap on the side of a mountain.

But these tents don't tend to be portable, and aren't cheap. An orb-shaped luxury tree tent called the Cocoon Tree goes for around $8,000, weighs 130 pounds, and takes two days to assemble with the help of a trained climber. Another luxury tree tent called the Roomoon starts at $5,800. The product design firm Luminair also makes a nonportable tree house–tent hybrid that a U.K. campsite plans to roll out for visitors to stay in. Another British company called Treepee makes a tent-trampoline combination that has four ground supports and one overhead hanging support. Perhaps the most similar tent to Tentsile's tents comes from a Vermont-based company called Treez Tree Tents, but it only offers one- and two-person models. Still, the two-person model costs $1,499 and takes weeks to ship.
Tentsile, meanwhile, has been able to sell its tree tents for a fraction of the price of its competitors, with models ranging from $500 to $1,500. The Stingray, its flagship tent, can accommodate three people and takes two people about 10 minutes to set up. In a year, the company says, it's sold over 3,000 of them globally. Along the way, it had to cope with an IP-theft fiasco in China and a remaking of its production process.
Five years ago, Shirley-Smith started tinkering around with tree-tent designs in his free time. The first version of his tree-spun tent was a dodecahedron design, similar in shape to its luxury peers. Internally it was known as "Big Mama," externally as the Giant. It weighed almost 85 pounds and was too difficult to manufacture. Still, people loved the design in Tentsile's native U.K. It garnered some initial traction on green design forums. And in 2012, the Giant got a plug on national television. Tentsile's website got 40,000 hits in 24 hours.
Just after Tentsile's first exposure on TV, he hired Kirchev, a product designer, to help turn the Giant into a manufacturable product.
There was just one problem: The Giant couldn't accommodate the dynamic loads that come with people moving around inside a tent; the structure tended to warp, much like a hammock does when people move around on one. And Shirley-Smith wanted to be able to support eight people at once. The amount of material he would have needed to do that would have made the cost prohibitive.
The Tentsile Connect, a modular version of its flagship tent.
During a year of product revisions, Kirchev helped Shirley-Smith streamline the Giant to accommodate three people and prep it for manufacturing. The pair focused on the design approach that inspired their company's name: tensile structures, which are made of lightweight materials held in tension to reduce the need for extra structural supports. The new design incorporated a strong material that has a honeycomb lattice, helping turn their heavy prototype into a more elegant sail of a tent. Called the Stingray, it is now Tentsile's flagship product, sells for $675, and weighs 20 pounds.
To pitch the Stingray and all of Tentsile's products, you need three trees–or three otherwise stable pillars. The three webbed supports radiating out from the tent are held in tension and at the anchor points with ratchet straps. No matter how insect- or animal-laden, rocky, or wet the ground conditions are, as long as you can find three supports, you can pitch the tent. But if the ground is fine, you're free to pitch the tent on the ground, too.
"Our tents are not only easy to make; they're fun, they're enjoyable, and just a little bit enticing," says Robert Shirley-Smith, Alex's brother, who joined the Tentsile team just after the Stingray went to production. By 2013, Tentsile started to sell so many tents that Alex and Kirchev could quit their day jobs; soon they decided to move their production to China.
Tentsile's own factory in Ningbo, China.
Soon after, the Chinese government shut Tentsile's new factory down. It turned out that the old factory's directors accused Tentsile of stealing designs from them. During a one-month legal battle in the Chinese court system, 231 customers waited on their shipments, but Tentsile eventually won and resumed operations.
"With us not being there, we didn't have our eyes and ears on what was happening," says Robert.
Now, the Shirley-Smith brothers direct Tentsile's daily operations in London, while Kirchev runs Tentsile's Ningbo factory. The factory's staff of 17 produce 700 to 800 tents per month; production is smoother and faster, and costs are down.
"Kirk moving to China has really brought down the cost of production," says Robert. With no middleman to pay, Tentsile could reduce its end price by more than 50%. The retail price of the Stingray dropped from $1,499 to $675.
In the process, Tentsile became the central player in the growing market of elevated tents. And last year, it began making a new range of tents designed to connect with the Stingray and each other. The Connect is a smaller and modular version of the Stingray that can link up with other Tentsile tents in a series to form a web of tents. (In January of this year, Tentsile created one such network at the Sequoia National Park.) Another model, the Vista, features a detachable roof. Add a few of Tentsile's new Trillium hammocks, and you can assemble a nine-person tree-tent bunk bed. There's also the colossus of tree tents: the Trilogy Super-Tent, which consists of three modular Connect tents, conjoined with a canopy.
The team built a Tentsile Village at Sequoia National Park in January.
Another big break came nine months ago, when the camping supply giant REI started selling Tentsile's tents on its website. It was the company's first retailer, and its first introduction to the U.S. market. According to the most recent American Camper Report by The Outdoor Foundation and outdoor giant Coleman, 40 million Americans went camping in 2013, or 14 percent of the population, a number that has remained mostly steady in recent years. The global market for camping equipment is predicted to reach $5 billion by 2019, reports Lucintel, a consumer research firm, as consumers replace older equipment for ones with new tech and materials and spend more on recreation. A retiring population seeking outdoor recreation is another source of growth, the report said.
While most of Tentsile's sales have come from its website up until now, the company foresees more activity this year through its new deals with retailers, like REI and Backcountry.com in the U.S. and Bergfreunde.de in Germany. The team also has a distribution deal with the travel site GlobeTrotter.com.
Nice not waking up in a puddle of water after heavy rains. Recommend setting up off the beaten path as you will be bothered by people asking you question[s]. I set it up on an island on [a] canoe trip and still had boaters stop and comment on it.
For a group of nature lovers, the Tentsile team is extremely wired into the tech world. The site is powered by Shopify. It accepts Stripe. They duly update the Facebook page, Instagram feed, YouTube channel, and blog. And they ship globally with ease, through a company called Shipwise, which lets Tentsile ship anywhere from five shipping depots around the world. "We literally just click a few buttons, and it's done," Robert says.
In addition to a good logistics partner, Tentsile works with distributors who believe in the brand. Tentsile's South Korean distributor prominently features Tentsile's background story on her site's welcome page. "People in South Korea want to hear those stories, too," Robert says.
Tentsile's eco-village in the outskirts of Fiji.
Tentsile isn't only interested in revenue; it's using its business to protect the trees its customers rely on. The team has partnered with WeForest.org to help prevent forests from unnecessary destruction. For every tent Tentsile sells, WeForest.org plants three trees in tropical forests.
The company's conservationist ethos has helped it burnish its ecotourism credentials. At the end of 2013, Tentsile paired up with an NGO to create a self-contained ecovillage in Fiji using its tree tents. Tourists looking for an alternative to the island's resort life could stay in the tents, situated in the rain forest and supplied by the ecovillage's own organic garden. Tentsile also offers camping packages in Cambodia and Finland, complete with guides and chefs. (The three-day expedition in Finland costs €855 [$970] per person.) It also sees markets beyond tourism and camping. Expeditions, wildlife filming, scientific research, festivals, safaris, and humanitarian relief situations are all ideal venues for Tentsile's tents, according to the company's site.

Still, tree tents face a long climb up the camping equipment ladder. Dan Zenkel, a summer camp consultant, says he isn't sure that tree tents have found a following in the camping world just yet. But he knows that traditional tree houses appeal to kids at summer camps. And this is a compelling market for the camping industry: as the authors of the American Camper Report note, most American campers begin camping at age 15 and younger.
"A lot of summer camps are offering tree houses to kids to sleep in. There's an opportunity there for these tents," says Zenkel. They offer a fun element that regular tents don't, and "they're cheaper"—at least cheaper than building a tree house.

Slovakia Warns Against Trips to Several Regions, Including Prague
byPrague Morning
The Slovak Ministry of Foreign Affairs has recommended Slovak citizens reconsider traveling to some regions within countries that are otherwise safe for travel when it comes to the epidemiological situation, including the Czech capital of Prague along with some areas of Croatia and France.
If people still must go to these areas, they should continuously monitor the situation and follow the recommendations of epidemiologists.
Some Dutch, Irish, Polish and British regions and the whole of Malta and Spain have previously been included on the list to which this recommendation applies. The whole of Belgium, Prague, two Croatian counties, one Danish and one Estonian region, and three French regions have also been recently added.
In Slovakia, 2,922 cases of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infection have been confirmed so far with 31 deaths related to COVID-19.
Prague has already entered the "orange" zone in Belgium, which recommended quarantine for its citizens returning from Prague at the end of July.
The Czech capital and the Frýdek-Místek district continue to be the only regions that are marked in green on the "traffic light" map of the Ministry of Health, signaling the occurrence of the disease without transmitting the disease in the community.
Other regions of the Czech Republic are marked white for zero or negligible risk. So far, 4,047 people have been infected with coronavirus in the capital, and about 70 percent have recovered. A total of 106 people died from the disease in Prague.

German-born Werner emigrated to Canada at 19; and after furthering his education, taking up a series of senior management and executive positions across a broad spectrum of industries.
By the mid-1980s, it was time for a sea change and Werner embarked on his yachting career, sailing a Chris-Craft Constellation 2,500 miles down the Mississippi en route to the Caribbean.
Once there, Werner carved out an entrepreneurial opportunity when he took charge of a local island ferry service, quickly turning the venture into a success.
When that success led to Universal Pictures asking for his help to make a movie in the Caribbean, Werner jumped at the chance to get back into yachting.
Once more in the field, Werner was quickly snapped up to work as a captain for a company which owned three yachts and within six months, his talent being recognized, was promoted to executive fleet manager. Now working in business alongside his first love of yachting, he was fully responsible for all financial and maritime commercial operations, including searching for and purchasing a commercial superyacht for the owner of the company.

Whether you are missing one tooth or multiple teeth, dental implants are the ultimate tooth replacement option. Our Rockwall, TX, team can determine your candidacy for dental implants during a personal consultation. If candidacy is established, Dr. Melina Morrison will refer you to our Forney office where Dr. Jeffrey Pope will perform implant surgery. Once you have healed, you will return to Rockwall Family Dentistry, where we will attach your custom-made restoration. Dental implants can provide a secure and permanent foundation for crowns, bridges, or full dentures. Your restoration will look and function like original teeth. Equally important, the implant posts will protect your long-term oral health by preventing jawbone recession.
Dental implants are small, screw-like titanium posts. They will be surgically set in your jawbone during a precise, customized surgery. Your jawbone will then heal and fuse with the posts. Through this process, they will become a permanent part of your mouth, essentially replacing your dental roots.
Like tooth roots, implants can prevent jawbone recession. They will preserve the natural curves and contours of your face, and can also help maintain a youthful appearance.
Missing teeth can cause numerous problems. First, the gaps in your smile can dramatically affect your appearance. You may look older than you are, and may feel self-conscious about your smile. Second, when you are missing teeth, you will find it difficult to eat certain foods.
Your speech can be affected, particularly if you have lost one or more front teeth. Also, missing teeth can have serious consequences on your long-term dental health. Your tooth roots will no longer be present to send regenerative signals to your jawbone. Consequently, you can suffer noticeable bone recession and further tooth loss.
While traditional crowns and dentures can restore oral function, they will not fully take the place of your missing teeth. Implants, on the other hand, will actually replace your dental roots. Therefore, implant-supported restorations offer several advantages over traditional prosthetics.
One advantage is that dental implants will never slip out of place, enabling you to enjoy a variety of foods without the risk of dislodging your prosthetic. Traditional dentures are held in place with adhesive. Therefore, the restoration will not sit in your mouth as securely.
Less obviously, but perhaps more significantly, implants will send regenerative signals to your jaw. Like tooth roots, they can prevent jawbone recession. They will preserve the natural curves and contours of your face, and can also help maintain a youthful appearance. Further, implants will protect your other teeth by preserving the jawbone tissue that gives them support.
Dr. Morrison will evaluate your jawbone and health history to determine your candidacy for dental implants. Jawbone degeneration is a concern, but a bone graft or sinus lift can often restore your eligibility for dental implant treatment. If our dentist decides that implants are right for you, Dr. Pope will perform implant surgery.
Dr. Pope will take x-rays to locate the most optimal placement for the posts. Before the surgery, he will administer local anesthesia and sedation for a minimal-discomfort treatment. Dr. Pope will place the implants in small holes in your jawbone, and will close the incisions in your gums with dissolvable stitches.
It will usually take between four and six months for your jawbone to heal around the implant posts. You will receive a temporary restoration in the interim. When this process, known as osseointegration, is complete, the team at our Rockwall location will attach your prosthetic. In some cases, however, Dr. Pope can provide a same-day restoration, with his advanced E4D imaging technology.
Once your treatment is complete, we will explain how to take care of your implants. Since they function almost exactly like your original teeth, you will maintain them essentially the same way. You should brush and floss daily and schedule regular checkups at our office. Even if you have full implant-supported dentures, good hygiene can prevent gum disease and subsequent implant failure.
Dental implants provide a secure foundation for a wide range of restorations, such as dentures, bridges, or crowns. To learn more about dental implants and find out if you are a candidate for treatment, contact Rockwall Family Dentistry today.

Study reveals need for human-centered design in an era of healthcare consumerism
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vocera Communications, Inc. (NYSE:VCRA), a recognized leader in clinical communication and workflow solutions, today announced the company's thought leadership and research collaborative, the Experience Innovation Network, has released the findings of its latest study. The research report, Co-Architecting Healthcare Transformation: How Leading Health Systems Put Patients and Families at the Forefront of Design, examines how healthcare organizations engage patients and their families as leaders in innovation design for the future of caring.
As healthcare enters a new era of consumerism, more hospitals and health systems are embracing principles of human-centered care and partnering in unique ways with patients and families to identify areas for improvement. Though most health systems receive patient feedback in the form of surveys and advisory councils, an elite few engage patients and families as true co-architects and leaders of transformation.
Only one in five research participants reported their health system always includes patients-families as partners in strategic improvement decisions. Budgets may impact these partnerships because 25% of health system respondents reported they have no money allocated to engage patients and families in improvement initiatives. Organizational infrastructure may also influence levels of engagement. Among the patients and family members surveyed for this study, 15% said they have served on a healthcare organization's board of directors or board committee.
"Patients and families are instrumental in shaping a sustainable future for health systems to thrive in an increasingly competitive environment," said Liz Boehm, research director for Vocera. "These important stakeholders must be deeply engaged as co-architects to shape all aspects of care redesign because they bring a unique and valuable perspective on what is needed to transform and accelerate healthcare to the next level."
The Vocera research reveals many variations in how clinics, hospitals and health systems integrate patient and family voice, influence and advocacy into transformation efforts. More than 150 health system leaders, patients and family members in the U.S. and Canada participated in a survey or in-depth interview, sharing their experiences with advisory councils and other engagement programs. Boehm will outline key findings from the study during a complimentary webinar from 1-2 p.m. ET on Thursday, Aug. 16. She will be joined by experience leaders and patient partners from Providence Health, who are working together to push the envelope to make lasting change.
"Many health systems often bring patients and families into the transformation process too late or simply to 'check the box' on patient engagement," said Bridget Duffy, MD, chief medical officer of Vocera. "To build a humanized health system of the future, industry leaders need to flip the traditional process on its head, and engage patients and families as partners to co-lead all innovation design. This report is a call to action to engage patients more effectively in that process."

Incredible! Astounding! Terrific! Can you tell I like the ice cream? Try the banana or the turtle or the coffee royal with chocolate sprinkles. The line in the summer can snake out the door, but the wait is worth every minute. If the line in Point Pleasant is too long, go the the store in Spring Lake. The line will probably be as long there.

Following a quarrelsome election season, Former Massachusetts Governor and 1988 Democratic party presidential candidate Mike Dukakis joined us for a quick talk about the state of our union. Calling in from Boston, where he is currently teaching at Northeastern University, he and Stevoe discussed the media's role in this year's presidential election.
Host of TideSmart Talk with Stevoe, Steve Woods, welcomed former Massachusetts Governor Mike Dukakis (photo courtesy of (northeastern.edu).
When asked if media focused more on buzzworthy segments or articles this election season, Dukakis said he thought the press was "gullible" this time around. While, some news outlets were obviously not bi-partisan, they did seem to focus more on ratings and more "reality" style television/media than reporting facts.The media during the last several months seemed unruly, but Dukakis pointed out that historically it wasn't much better.
In regards to Americans voting in a similar fashion as the Brits with the "Brexit" vote, Dukakis said that we can't be surprised and that many media outlets reported almost literally, "This could happen to us." He encouraged listeners to take this opportunity to observe and learn from this election (which we now know didn't have nearly the voter turnout as expected) and to not repeat history.
Dukakis is hopeful that the President-elect will be a good leader and that all we can do now is to "be good Americans." He doesn't know how likely it is that Mr. Trump will follow through with some of his promises (e.g. building the southern border wall), but unfortunately we'll have to just wait and see.
