Q: To get a function which returns an array of all possible combinations of m numbers in n numbers Given n consecutive numbers, starting from 0. How do I get all the combinations of m numbers from n?
For example:
n = 5, m = 2
given numbers: 0,1,2,3,4
expected output: return an array, where arr[][] = {{0,1},{0,2},...,{3,4}}

And n and m are not constants.
int **getSource(int nV, int num){
    int c = num_of_com(nV, num);
    int **source = (int **)malloc(sizeof(int *)*c);
        for(int i=0;i<c;i++){
            source[i] = (int *)malloc(sizeof(int)*num);
            for(int j=nV;j>=num;j--){
                *(*(source+i)+num-1)=j-2;
                if(num>1)
                getSource(nV-1,num-1);
            }
        }

    return source;
}

I wrote this and it didn't succeed.

A: Here is another example of a recursive solution. The core function is 'pick'. The idea is to mark in an array if the number at position 'i' in the array should be picked or not. The length of the array is what you call 'n', so at most 'm' elements in the array should get picked. At the bottom of the recursion the array gets printed, only printing whose elements that are selected.
The parameters should of course be supplied on the command line, and the array should be passed as an argument to the recursive function.
I have tested with n = 5 and m = 2. It may not work for other combinations. But it may inspire you anyway :-)
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <string.h>

static bool *current;

static int n = 5;
static int m = 3;

static void print_current(void)
{
  printf("{ ");
  for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
      if (current[i])
        {
          printf("%d ", i);
        }
    }
  printf("}\n");
}

static void pick(int candidate, int n, int m)
{
  if (m == 0)
    {
      print_current();
    }
  else if (candidate < n)
    {
      current[candidate] = true;
      pick(candidate+1, n, m - 1);
      current[candidate] = false;
      pick(candidate+1, n, m);
    }
}

int main(void)
{

  printf("Hello\n");

  current = malloc(n*sizeof(bool));
  memset(current, false, n);
  pick(0, n, m);
  free(current);
  return 0;
}

Update: Output for n = 5 and m = 3:

Light-Activated PCR Assay
Conn Hastings Genetics
Researchers at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München in Germany have developed a light-activated form of the enzymes that power the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay. The assay has gained recent fame among the general public because of its use as a COVID-19 diagnostic tool. The technique could lead to alternatives to current heat-activated enzymes, which are difficult to design and create, and are not suitable for enzymes that are easily damaged by high temperatures. The method may help to expand the scope of what is possible with PCR.
PCR has been around for quite a while, but recently we have come to rely heavily on it as a COVID-19 diagnostic test. The assay uses various enzymes to amplify tiny amounts of DNA so that we can detect the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. However, the technology is also a cornerstone of medical research, providing invaluable data on gene expression.
The enzymes that power the PCR assay are a little finicky. During sample preparation, the enzymes can become active and begin to work, potentially affecting the results or ruining the sample. To get around this, researchers typically design enzymes that will only become active once they reach a certain temperature. These are known as "hot start" enzymes.
However, hot start enzymes are difficult to design, and the concept doesn't work for enzymes that are particularly sensitive to heat. "For diagnostics tests based on PCR, such as the[…] test for COVID-19, the solution is the development of a hot-start enzyme, which shows no activity until a high activation temperature is reached," said Andrés Vera, a researcher involved in the study. "The main drawback of these hot-start approaches is that they cannot be used for enzymes that are damaged by heat. Besides, the design of a hot-start enzyme is tedious and the exhausting design process has to be repeated for each new enzyme that we want to engineer."
To make it easier to create enzymes for PCR assays, Vera and colleagues turned to light-activated enzymes as an alternative. "Light-controlled enzymes have been around for quite a while, but what makes our approach unique is that it can be applied to virtually any DNA processing enzyme," said Vera. "In the past you always needed very detailed information on how your enzyme works and you were never sure that you would come with a smart way to block the enzyme and reactivate it with light."
To achieve light activation, the researchers bound a piece of DNA to the enzyme, resulting in an inactive enzyme that can be activated with a pulse of UV light that frees the enzyme to begin acting on its substrate. So far, the team has shown that their light-activated enzymes show similar or improved performance as hot start equivalents.
"This is definitely going to help to produce better enzymes for biotechnological and diagnostics use," said Philip Tinnefeld, another researcher involved in the study. "Besides, current real-time PCR machines already incorporate light sources and they could be easily modified to bring these enzymes to the market anytime soon."

Romney/Bain Invested in the Brutal Chinese Sweatshop He Described in Detail at Boca Raton Fundraiser
Did Nothing to Change Low Pay, Squalid Conditions, Forced Overtime for Three Years Before Pulling Out, And Abuses at Appliance Factory Continue
Mitt Romney, while CEO of Bain Capital, knowingly invested in a brutal Chinese sweatshop which we believe he was describing in detail at the same Boca Raton fundraising event where he made his 47% comments. A new report by the Institute for Global Labor and Human Rights, documents the workers' low pay at the time Romney was substantially invested in the company ($23 million) and the current abysmal conditions and pay at the appliance factory owned by Global-Tech.
Romney described pay and conditions as follows:
When I was back in my private equity days, we went to China to buy a factory there. It employed about 20,000 people. And they were almost all young women between the ages of about 18 and 22 or 23. They were saving for potentially becoming married. And they work in these huge factories, they made various uh, small appliances. And uh, as we were walking through this facility, seeing them work, the number of hours they worked per day, the pitance they earned, living in dormitories with uh, with little bathrooms at the end of maybe 10, 10 room, rooms. And the rooms they have 12 girls per room. Three bunk beds on top of each other. You've seen, you've seen them? (Oh…yeah, yeah!) And, and, and around this factory was a fence, a huge fence with barbed wire and guard towers. And, and, we said gosh! I can't believe that you, you know, keep these girls in! They said, no, no, no. This is to keep other people from coming in. Because people want so badly to come work in this factory that we have to keep them out.
At its peak, for two and a half years from April 1998 through August 2000, Mr. Romney and his Brookside Capital fund invested approximately $23 million in the Global-Tech sweatshop in Dongguan, China.
Mr. Romney was there when the Race to the Bottom in the global sweatshop economy was launched. Mr. Romney noted "the pittance they earned"— just 24 cents an hour in 1998 and less than $2.00 a day. Wages in Global-Tech were less than 2 percent of U.S. wages.
Despite his investment and power as Bain's CEO, Mr. Romney apparently failed to urge Chinese management to even modestly improve Global-Tech's gross working and living conditions or the pitifully low wages of its workers.
If Mr. Romney had spoken up, conditions at Global-Tech might be far better today. Sadly, in 2012, Global-Tech remains a brutal sweatshop, where workers are paid starvation wages of $1.00 an hour and have no rights.
Today at Global-Tech, every single labor law in China is violated: primitive, filthy dorm conditions are the norm; routine 15- to 16-hour shifts prevail, along with grueling 105- to 112-hour, seven-day work weeks.
Eight hundred student interns — many exhausted children, just 16 years old — are forced to work the grueling 15- to 16-hour shifts with no overtime pay.
In the context of Mr. Romney's present "get tough on China" stance, it would be critical for Mr. Romney to clarify exactly what he and Bain Capital did at the Global-Tech factory in Dongguan, China to push back against the evident abuses in the factory and to assure respect for human, women's and workers' rights.

More sex... it's why we're all here...
Chapter 6: Whore
"So you finally did it?"
Gohan was in the dark room again, sat on the floor by the bed. It was his own voice again, but it belonged to the other one, the other version of himself, who slid down onto the floor next to him.
"Did what?" he asked, dazed by his surroundings.
"Got yourself laid. And you picked him of all people. That was desperate."
"Who the fuck are you?!"
Gohan looked at his twin, anger in his face. His twin smiled back at him, a twisted look in his eyes.
"I told you. The thing you fear the most."
He caressed his face with the back of his hand.
"You're still tense... "
"Leave me alone."
Gohan turned his head away, the other closed in on his ear.
"You should do it again."
"I'm not going near him. Never."
The other began touching him rather intimately, his hand diving down between his legs.
"Stop... " he whispered, his body saying otherwise, then his breath said the opposite too.
"Give him another taste."
Gohan felt an unnerving falling sensation as he woke up suddenly.
The thing he feared the most... was himself? That didn't make much sense. It was probably the thing he hated the most. Possibly more than he hated Cell. He fell asleep against the lockers in the corridor, that was the first time he'd dreamed of his twin for two weeks.
Gohan rose to his feet as Cell came around the corner.
"A while to go until my next match."
"And?"
"No need to be so hostile. I'm not going to jump on you. Not unless you want me to."
Let him have you again. Just one more time. Who's going to know?
"Hm?"
Gohan didn't realise the he was talking to his inner voice out loud.
"Nothing."
Cell suddenly stormed over, pushing him back against the lockers and holding him there with one hand.
"Shall we train then?"
Gohan couldn't explain what happened next, but he figured that his inner voice was speaking for him. That or it was the rush of feeling the android's hand on the bare skin of his neck. He kissed him again, hesitantly, but with enough want to loosen Cell's offensive grip on him.
"Are you sure? You seemed set on never going there again."
"Who's going to know?"
Cell lead him into the nearest bathroom, shutting the door behind them. Gohan had no idea why he was succumbing to this again. Once was more than enough, but for some reason, he craved physical contact once more.
"Yeah?" said Gohan nervously. He didn't like the way Cell was looking at him, staring him down hungrily like he was prey.
"There's no need to be nervous," he said as he approached him slowly.
"Why not? I'd have thought that would be a turn on for someone like y-you... " Gohan was backed into the counter where the sinks were, with nowhere to run.
Gohan had no idea why he was suddenly so anxious, he'd slept with him before, albeit, only once. He was more afraid of this becoming a habit rather than a one-off. He felt lips moving against his own softly, which calmed him a little.
"Do you want me to touch you?" asked the android quietly. Gohan hesitantly nodded, prompting cold hands to make their way up his shirt, the kissing became more forceful. He was pressed up against the counter, Cell was kissing and biting into his neck harshly.
"Ow!" he gasped quietly as he felt his skin getting caught between his teeth. Gohan's hands were frozen against the android's chest, Cell wasn't giving him much chance to move as it was. "Wait... " Gohan's doubts were ignored as he felt those cold hands on him everywhere. "Cell... ow! Stop!"
"Relax," said Cell calmly as he finally slowed down. Gohan took the chance to catch his breath, but Cell carried on as soon as he could before Gohan could change his mind.
"You're hurting me!" Gohan managed to push him away by his chest, at least creating a little breathing space between them. Cell took a second to see the red marks appearing on Gohan's neck and shoulder.
"Sorry, forgot you had baby skin," remarked the android. He approached the frightened saiyan again, taking his jaw into his hand and kissing him deeply.
"Cell... " said Gohan in a warning tone.
Now was his chance to say no - but he didn't take it.
"Slower." I am so fucking weak...
The android gave a slight chuckle before going for him yet again, kissing him as gently as he could. Gohan responded hesitantly at the shallow, almost sweet kisses he was receiving, steadily begin to open his mouth to deepening it. He felt hands moving down his sides as he draped his own arms over Cell's shoulders. Cell felt his body attempt to jerk backwards when his hand brushed slowly against Gohan's crotch. He found it interesting that he was still so shy even after they'd already been together before.
"You really want to do this in here?" asked Gohan in barely a whisper. He was beginning to pant with a combination of anticipation and fear. Part of him was still trying to find away out of it.
"I don't think we have much of a choice... " said Cell, kissing his neck almost lovingly. Gohan was beginning to feel the knots in his stomach turn into fuzz, the fear was going away, but the nerves were still annoyingly prickling at the base of his spine.
"Can I ask you something?" Gohan closed his eyes as lips traced up and down his neck, down to his shoulder. "Is this just something to pass the time or... "
"Or?"
"Are you attracted to me?" He asked that as quickly and casually as he could, not knowing whether he wanted to know the answer.
"Hm... " Cell lingered by his ear as he pondered that question to himself. "At first, this was all out of curiosity," he said honestly. "I wanted to hurt you." He bit down with a little force into his neck, feeling his entire body shudder in his arms. "I've never had an appetite for flesh, never needed to. But now when I'm alone, I'm starting to think about how good it feels. I think that I have both my human and saiyan genetics to blame for that."
"Yeah?"
"It's strange, how you people function," he said, keeping his lips against Gohan's ear. "You manage to get a taste of something, and you can't seem to stop going back for a little bit more each time. So in answer to your question... yes, I find you attractive." Cell felt him shudder again.
"What's your favourite part?"
"Making you come."
Gohan felt his face turn an awful shade of red as he imagined the android's eyes on him at his most vulnerable. Cell smirked against his hot cheek, feeling him tremble. Cell's hand returned to his crotch, which was now achingly hard. The android let his hand glide over it continuously. Gohan bit his lip to keep himself quiet, closing his eyes to concentrate on the sweet vibrations flowing through his body - but Cell ceased his movements, causing him to whimper when he let go.
"Why did you stop?" he panted.
Cell grabbed his backside with the same hand, making Gohan flinch and arch against him. The android used the same hand and the other around his waist to lift him to sit on the counter between the sinks. His lips were devoured again, though Gohan willingly allowed it this time, moaning into it as their tongues glided across one another. He didn't open his eyes, but knew that his belt was being pulled off him steadily.
The android gave him an ominous smile as he pushed him back by his shoulder, coaxing him into lying down. Gohan complied reluctantly, first leaning back onto his elbows, then eventually flat on his back since he gathered the Cell wasn't going to carry on until he obeyed him. The counter was uncomfortably hard and difficult to lie on. Seeing Cell stare at him like he was made his dead heart begin its imaginary beating; only Cell ever made it do that since he got to Hell.
Gohan had a thought, taking some of his own initiative with what little experience he had in this area. He raised his arms and let them rest lazily above his head, bent awkwardly between the small space of the wall and the top of his head. He couldn't see Cell anymore because he was lying so flat, he focused on the ceiling instead of straining his eyes. Cell saw what he was trying to do immediately; he was trying to make himself more desirable by lying there like that; open and defenseless, handing himself over willingly.
The android opened Gohan's gi shirt up to reveal his taut chest and stomach, admiring his perfect pale skin in the fluorescent light of the room they were in. He ran his knuckles tenderly up his sides, earning more of those nervous shivers out of him. His hands glided over his chest, one tracing down and over his stomach muscles to feel them twitch under his fingers. The other rubbed his right nipple, noticing Gohan's eyes fall shut at the sensation. He moved onto the other for a while before planting a firm kiss right in the center of his torso.
Gohan's core shook and his muscles twitched as Cell began leaving dark hickeys all the way down his stomach, causing him to wince and whimper though it felt nice. He felt the hole he'd dug himself into getting deeper as Cell reached the hem of his pants, his breath caught in his throat as they were pulled off him completely, along with his shoes. He could feel cold air on his legs, finding himself more exposed than he's ever been before... in the presence of the most terrifying monster ever to walk the earth. A finger pressed against his entrance, causing him to tense and grit his teeth. The finger slid into him fully and stayed where it was as Gohan adjusted to it; he wondered why it wasn't hurting him like the last couple of times they'd done this.
"Cell?" he stuttered, trying to find his voice again.
"What are you using?"
"Soap dispenser." Gohan silently snorted a laugh at how Cell said that like it was a passing comment.
"Resourceful... " he said lamely.
Gohan was pulled out of the awkward air, his eyes closing again; he felt the same finger begin to softly massage his insides, the soap was proving to be an appropriate lubricant. This was pretty uncomfortable before, but this time it was painless. A second finger joined in, preparing him and picking up speed. Gohan was panting, occasionally moaning quietly to himself. He rolled his hips forward and spread his legs more to give him more access, not caring that he was now displaying himself as openly as possible. He heard the soap dispenser being used as Cell slowly removed his fingers from him. Gohan felt the android's eyes on him, mostly on his lower body at his hardened length that lay helplessly on his lower stomach. It was taking all of his strength not to just grab his clothes and run away.
Gohan was pulled towards the edge of the counter by forceful hands on his hips. He tensed immediately as soon as Cell entered him, expecting it to hurt again, but it didn't thanks to Cell's resourcefulness. It was painless and slick, but Gohan wondered if he would ever get used to the android's size. His back arched as the android filled him up faster than usual. Cell felt Gohan's legs tremble uncontrollably, draped over the bend of his arms. He leaned forwards slightly, pushing Gohan's thighs further up. He slid out of him slowly, then thrust back in.
"How does it feel?" asked Cell, looming over him, but not enough for Gohan to see him, even if he did decide to open his eyes.
"It... nn... " Gohan couldn't even form a thought right now, let alone speak. Cell found an even pace with moderate force, making Gohan moan softly to himself.
"Good... " Cell took his being lost for words as a compliment. Gohan's face grew hotter and redder every second, his voice was cracking.
"H-how does.. ah... f-fuck!"
"What was that?" teased the android, ceasing his movements again so he could speak.
"How does it feel for you?" he asked shyly. He heard a laugh.
"Warm... "
Gohan didn't have time for that answer to render him completely mute as Cell slammed against a particular bundle of nerves inside him. His back arched off the counter. Cell seemed to be exhilarated at that point, grabbing the back of his thighs and forcing Gohan's knees wider and closer to his chest. Gohan had never been so exposed before, feeling Cell carving even deeper into him as Gohan inadvertently demonstrated his flexibility.
Cell drank everything in, Gohan was shaking and twitching in an agonizing pleasure, screaming out in ecstasy. The android increased his already bruising grip, giving him everything and fucked him as hard as he could. Gohan's face was still red, his hair was sticking to his sweaty face which was turned to the side. His mouth was open and his face was giving a euphoric expression that Cell seemed to find enthralling. Cell suddenly became aware of the noises that he was making, pounding him so hard that it was bruising them both.
Gohan let Cell have him - all of him. He felt more moans and screams being wrung out of him, pulling at his own hair so that he wouldn't dare try to touch himself in front of him. A warm wave suddenly hit him, twisting his stomach and causing a deep burning in his loins, he was so close that he cried out even louder. He needed release.
And he got it a few thrusts later. His lower back arched off the counter as he came so hard it caused his body to convulse a few times; a hot, thick liquid shot out of him and onto his chest and stomach. Cell slowed his movements right down to watch his 'favourite part' of all this - the moment where Gohan belonged to him. He watched him ride out his orgasm to the very end.
"You're mine... "
"Am I?" panted Gohan as he enjoyed floating into nothingness.
"Yes," said Cell in a low voice. "You're my whore."
"I'm not a whore... " he protested weakly.
"You are. You scream and fuck like a whore."
"Is that a bad thing?" Gohan opened his eyes and squinted at the brightly lit ceiling.
"Not at all," said Cell smoothly. The android pulled him up into a sitting position. Gohan was dizzy, his hair was more unkempt than usual and his face was still a pinkish shade of red. He was lifted off the counter and onto his feet, where Cell had to literally hold him up by his waist as Gohan hadn't got the feeling back in his legs just yet. Cell kissed him passionately, making Gohan become aware of what was grinding into him stomach.
"You going to take care of that?" he asked nervously. The android seemed to be purposely grinding against him, prompting Gohan to put his hand around it. Cell grunted against his ear at the sensation; Gohan began moving his hand up and down, pumping him as quickly as he could with his still trembling hand.
"On your knees, whore."
"Stop calling me that," said Gohan uneasily.
"Now... " Gohan unsteadily sank to the cold tiled floor, one hand still on him as he came face to face with what was trying to push itself into his mouth as soon as he got there. He parted his lips, grimacing at the slight taste of soap that was still on him as his mouth was filled up in a controlled movement. He took what little practice he had at it, trying to steadily take all of him in.
"Use your tongue."
Gohan complied, getting used to it and listening to the moans coming from the android, though he didn't receive any warning of his climax. Something hot and salty erupted from him in gradual amounts, filling his mouth up so quickly that he didn't know what to do with it. He swallowed some, while the rest seeped out of the corner of his mouth, down his chin and onto his chest. Cell removed himself from the boy's grip, satisfied by the dishevelled saiyan kneeling in front of him.
"That's quite a talent you've got there."
Gohan didn't know whether to take the compliment or be offended that it was just about the only compliment Cell had ever given him. His tongue felt sticky, he felt the need to rinse his mouth out but couldn't find the energy to stand up - until Cell dragged him up by his arm. The android leaned him against the counter, face to face with him. Gohan looked a mess to say the least, Cell generously wiped the corner of Gohan's mouth clean with his thumb, making him blush yet again. Cell chuckled softly at his apparent shyness, intrigued by how quickly Gohan retreated back into his shell after the performance he'd just seen.
Cell leaned forwards, taking the distracted saiyan's lips again softly to try and coax him out again. He took hold of his shirt and pulled it off. Gohan slid his arms around Cell's neck as the coldness of the room caught up with him, kissing him deeper. Cell let his hand roam his now naked body, his fingertips tracing along the goosebumps that formed on his skin from the cool air. He was completely vulnerable now... well, almost.
Cell brought Gohan's arms from his neck and in front of him, attempting pull off Gohan's wristbands until he was stopped.
"Please... " he said quietly.
"I'll tell you later, just... let me keep them on."
Cell respected his wishes for once, releasing his wrists and holding his hands instead. A devious smirk appeared across his lips, making Gohan shiver.
"When's your next match?" he asked, still giving him that glare.
"U-um... I-I... " Gohan limbs were turning to mush, he didn't know whether he was excited or scared, maybe even both. He wanted to grab his clothes and run, or lock himself in one of the cubicles and figuratively hide under the bed until the monster went away. His head went blank; the tournament was the last thing on his mind right now. Cell took his silence victoriously, leaning in to bite and suck on his bottom lip.
"I was going to let you go and prepare for it. You can't have much feeling in your legs after that, surely... "
"Not really... " laughed Gohan nervously. He suddenly felt Cell start to pump him slowly, causing his already sensitive body to tense. He wasn't holding back vocally anymore, letting out soft moans, but buried his head into Cell's shoulder.
"Come on... don't be shy," taunted Cell, using his other hand to push him back up again. "Because I know for a fact that you aren't." Gohan was losing his mind, or what little sanity he had left after the past five years. "You don't fool me... you're not a pure, innocent hero. You're a fucking whore... "
Gohan tried to protest to being called that again, but instead responded by grabbing onto what had been gradually grinding against him and returning the favor. Cell gave him that same smirk again, turning Gohan around and bending over the counter. He grimaced as Cell filled him up completely in one motion, sending him into his only escape again.
Cell held his right arm down, taking a handful or his dark hair and shoving his head down too. Gohan's head was on it's side, his hot cheek pressing against the cold surface as he relished in all of the different sensations he was feeling at once.
Suddenly, the sound of chatter outside the door brought him out of his rapture. Panic began to rise in his chest when he heard Recoome's bellowing laugh outside the door. Cell slowed his movements down to quieten Gohan's voice, but didn't stop, feeling some sort of rush when he heard them try to open the door. He lifted one of Gohan's legs up, pushing his knee up onto the counter to give him more access as he leaned over to whisper in the boy's ear.
"Are you a whore?" he taunted as the door threatened to open at any moment.
"N-no... " stuttered Gohan. He was focused on the door too, wondering if they were going to leave or break in anyway. Though he didn't like to admit it, he too was feeling the rush of sneaking around; as people were on the other side of the door, he was stark naked and being fucked in a position that was as submissive as it could get.
"Don't lie to me, Gohan." Cell rolled his hips forward repeatedly, brushing against his sensitive spot over and over. Gohan curved his spine inward at the sensations, losing it's rigidity and pushing back against Cell's pelvis. The android wasn't going to last much longer at this rate, watching Gohan slowly unravel before him even more; he slid his hand around to his front, pumping him again. He was relieved when those outside finally gave up and walked away. "Are you my whore?"
"Yeah... " he gasped. Gohan was in fact answering to his movements rather than his question. He couldn't form a single thought anymore, letting Cell mercilessly pound him until the edge finally hit him again; he climaxed with a loud cry, releasing himself into Cell's hand and onto the counter. The way Gohan's flexed and tightened around him prompted Cell's own release.
As Gohan floated back down from his orgasm, and realised how uncomfortable he was on the hard surface, he cringed at the fact that he accidentally admitted to being Cell's 'whore'. He wanted to die again. Cell let him go, revealing some impressive bruising on his pale hips.
"And here we have earth's greatest hero... " he teased as he cleaned himself up by the sink. Gohan twitched as he finally moved. As soon as he stood, his knees collapsed under him and he fell to the floor with a grunt. "Did you enjoy that?" Gohan didn't answer him, instead he was scrambling around the floor collecting his clothes together. He could look at the android, who he could hear laughing at him. "I'll take that as a yes."
Gohan hid his face behind his hair and sat there hugging his clothes waiting for him to leave. Cell eventually got the message and exited the bathroom. He wanted the floor to swallow him whole. He looked back on what he just did and felt embarrassed by his actions. He pulled himself up onto the counter again to being washing himself of any evidence of what just happened. He held his breath; he refused to cry... it was what Cell wanted.
He's right... you are a whore...

Huawei P9 Hands-On: Are Those Unusual Cameras Worth the Hype?
By Aatif Sulleyman on at
Slowly but surely, Huawei has worked its way up to the big leagues, and has earned the right to be mentioned in the same breath as long-established Android rivals Samsung, LG and HTC. The company's launched its new flagship the Huawei P9, at a typically-odd event (a procession of top photographers took the stage for about an hour before the arrival of Henry Cavill, who had a couple of issues with the teleprompter), and I got to fiddle with it.
The P9 is a pretty phone. It's not quite as jaw-droppingly gorgeous as the Samsung Galaxy S7 or iPhone 6S, but I rate it above the LG G5, HTC One M9 and OnePlus 2 in terms of looks. I honestly don't give a toss about slimness, but I'm sure spray-on skinny jeans-wearing consumers will be tempted in by its slinky, 6.95mm frame.
Its brushed aluminium unibody is attractive and solid, and the pleasantly chunky volume rocker and power key sit on the right-hand edge. My only criticism is that the phone's boxy shape does nothing to help it stand out. It's partly why the Sony Xperia range has failed to set the world alight.
The headphone jack, USB Type-C port and a single speaker, meanwhile, lie at the bottom, while a microSD slot that lets you add to the 32GB of internal storage is stationed on the left edge, and there's a fingerprint scanner around the back.
Though the P9 features a 5.2-inch, Full HD display, the handset is surprisingly compact thanks to its barely-there bezels. It's comfortable to hold in one hand, but if you're like me and only have diddy digits, you'll struggle to reach all areas of the display without getting your other hand involved.
The screen itself is bright and sharp, with a pixel density of 423ppi and a top setting of 500 nits. Viewing angles are good too, and colours look vibrant and punchy. It looks like a good choice for TV bingers and keen gamers.
While swiping between apps and screens, I couldn't sense any lag, which in truth only really says that the P9 isn't completely lousy. It runs on a 2.5GHz octa-core Kirin 955 processor and 3GB of RAM, which should see it compete with the other flagships on the market in the performance stakes. The 3,000mAh battery should easily see you through a day too, but if you do end up running flat, Huawei says that a 10-minute charge will provide five hours of talk-time. Not bad.
The P9 feature Huawei's undoubtedly most proud of, however, is its dual 12-megapixel cameras. Built in partnership with Leica, the setup uses a regular camera sensor and a monochrome sensor. Yep, one of them is dedicated to black-and-white shots. Huawei claims that the two combine to capture 200% more light and 50% more contrast than a single RGB sensor. If you're feeling all dramatic and arty, you can also use the monochrome snapper on its own.
Off paper, I'm afraid to say that I wasn't blown away with the P9 camera's performance, though the lighting in the hands-on zone admittedly wasn't favourable. My shots came out slightly soft, lacking focus, and colours looked a touch oversaturated. It'll be interesting to see how the P9 fares in the real world.
What's guaranteed to split opinion, however, is Huawei's approach to software. The P9 runs Android Marshmallow, though Google's OS comes wrapped up in the EMUI 4.1 skin. For those of you unfamiliar with Huawei's handsets, the skin gets rid of the app drawer and makes your handset feel a bit iPhone-y.
The Huawei P9 isn't going to challenge the Samsung Galaxy S7 for smartphone supremacy, but it's an impressive handset nonetheless. If the camera, sorry, cameras, live up to the hype, we'll be welcoming another top-level mobile to the market later this month. If not, that £449 price tag may prove a turn-off.

Q: In what order should unit symbols appear? I am trying to represent the result of a dimensional analysis calculation and I can't find an official document that lists the order that unit symbols should appear.
For example, when I google $5\text{ m}\times 2\text{ kg}$ or $2\text{ kg}\times 5\text{ m}$ the result is always meters first, or $10\text{ m kg}$. But when I plug both of those calculations into Wolfram Alpha the result has kilograms first, or $10\text{ kg m}$.
I would assume that Wolfram Alpha would take more care in displaying a mathematical results than Google but I would like an official reference (at least for SI) explaining the order unit symbols should appear and if possible other formatting rules.
EDIT: I (as a human) will not be doing the rearranging of the symbols so I am looking for a spec that will produce the same output every time.

A: It makes no difference as long as you are clear what the units are. The standard for many people is kg m, but you may see in a lot of places m kg. In general, people usually write it thusly in SI units:
[charge][mass][length][time][temperature]
Unusual units generally go toward the beginning such as this:
[charge][mass][Force][Energy][length][mol][frequency][time][temperature]

A: Of course, in principle it makes no difference, however, I think there is an important point to be made:
Order the units for maximum physical sense.
Take a simple example, of 'speed'. The units would normally be expressed (in SI) as $\text{ms}^{-1}$, not $\text{s}^{-1}\text{m}$.
This is because we normally think of speed as "how far something goes per time" not "per time, how far something goes". (At least in English).
In my experience, the comment by Anuar is very true, so also take this into account in addition, if possible.

Paxlovid Has Been Free So Far. Next Year, Sticker Shock Awaits.
Nearly 6 million Americans have taken Paxlovid for free, courtesy of the federal government. The Pfizer pill has helped prevent many people infected with covid-19 from being hospitalized or dying, and it may even reduce the risk of developing long covid. But the government plans to stop footing the bill within months, and millions of people who are at the highest risk of severe illness and are least able to afford the drug — the uninsured and seniors — may have to pay the full price.
And that means fewer people will get the potentially lifesaving treatments, experts said.
"I think the numbers will go way down," said Jill Rosenthal, director of public health policy at the Center for American Progress, a left-leaning think tank. A bill for several hundred dollars or more would lead many people to decide the medication isn't worth the price, she said.
In response to the unprecedented public health crisis caused by covid, the federal government spent billions of dollars on developing new vaccines and treatments, to swift success: Less than a year after the pandemic was declared, medical workers got their first vaccines. But as many people have refused the shots and stopped wearing masks, the virus still rages and mutates. In 2022 alone, 250,000 Americans have died from covid, more than from strokes or diabetes.
But soon the Department of Health and Human Services will stop supplying covid treatments, and pharmacies will purchase and bill for them the same way they do for antibiotic pills or asthma inhalers. Paxlovid is expected to hit the private market in mid-2023, according to HHS plans shared in an October meeting with state health officials and clinicians. Merck's Lagevrio, a less-effective covid treatment pill, and AstraZeneca's Evusheld, a preventive therapy for the immunocompromised, are on track to be commercialized sooner, sometime in the winter.
The U.S. government has so far purchased 20 million courses of Paxlovid, priced at about $530 each, a discount for buying in bulk that Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla called "really very attractive" to the federal government in a July earnings call. The drug will cost far more on the private market, although in a statement to KHN, Pfizer declined to share the planned price. The government will also stop paying for the company's covid vaccine next year — those shots will quadruple in price, from the discount rate the government pays of $30 to about $120.
Bourla told investors in November that he expects the move will make Paxlovid and its covid vaccine "a multibillion-dollars franchise."
Nearly 9 in 10 people dying from the virus now are 65 or older. Yet federal law restricts Medicare Part D — the prescription drug program that covers nearly 50 million seniors — from covering the covid treatment pills. The medications are meant for those most at risk of serious illness, including seniors.
Paxlovid and the other treatments are currently available under an emergency use authorization from the FDA, a fast-track review used in extraordinary situations. Although Pfizer applied for full approval in June, the process can take anywhere from several months to years. And Medicare Part D can't cover any medications without that full stamp of approval.
Paying out-of-pocket would be "a substantial barrier" for seniors on Medicare — the very people who would benefit most from the drug, wrote federal health experts.
"From a public health perspective, and even from a health care capacity and cost perspective, it would just defy reason to not continue to make these drugs readily available," said Dr. Larry Madoff, medical director of Massachusetts' Bureau of Infectious Disease and Laboratory Sciences. He's hopeful that the federal health agency will find a way to set aside unused doses for seniors and people without insurance.
In mid-November, the White House requested that Congress approve an additional $2.5 billion for covid therapeutics and vaccines to make sure people can afford the medications when they're no longer free. But there's little hope it will be approved — the Senate voted that same day to end the public health emergency and denied similar requests in recent months.
Many Americans have already faced hurdles just getting a prescription for covid treatment. Although the federal government doesn't track who's gotten the drug, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study using data from 30 medical centers found that Black and Hispanic patients with covid were much less likely to receive Paxlovid than white patients. (Hispanic people can be of any race or combination of races.) And when the government is no longer picking up the tab, experts predict that these gaps by race, income, and geography will widen.
People in Northeastern states used the drug far more often than those in the rest of the country, according to a KHN analysis of Paxlovid use in September and October. But it wasn't because people in the region were getting sick from covid at much higher rates — instead, many of those states offered better access to health care to begin with and created special programs to get Paxlovid to their residents.
About 10 mostly Democratic states and several large counties in the Northeast and elsewhere created free "test-to-treat" programs that allow their residents to get an immediate doctor visit and prescription for treatment after testing positive for covid. In Massachusetts, more than 20,000 residents have used the state's video and phone hotline, which is available seven days a week in 13 languages. Massachusetts, which has the highest insurance rate in the country and relatively low travel times to pharmacies, had the second-highest Paxlovid usage rate among states this fall.
States with higher covid death rates, like Florida and Kentucky, where residents must travel farther for health care and are more likely to be uninsured, used the drug less often. Without no-cost test-to-treat options, residents have struggled to get prescriptions even though the drug itself is still free.
"If you look at access to medications for people who are uninsured, I think that there's no question that will widen those disparities," Rosenthal said.
People who get insurance through their jobs could face high copays at the register, too, just as they do for insulin and other expensive or brand-name drugs.
Most private insurance companies will end up covering covid therapeutics to some extent, said Sabrina Corlette, a research professor at Georgetown University's Center on Health Insurance Reforms. After all, the pills are cheaper than a hospital stay. But for most people who get insurance through their jobs, there are "really no rules at all," she said. Some insurers could take months to add the drugs to their plans or decide not to pay for them.
And the additional cost means many people will go without the medication. "We know from lots of research that when people face cost sharing for these drugs that they need to take, they will often forgo or cut back," Corlette said.
One group doesn't need to worry about sticker shock. Medicaid, the public insurance program for low-income adults and children, will cover the treatments in full until at least early 2024.
HHS officials could set aside any leftover taxpayer-funded medication for people who can't afford to pay the full cost, but they haven't shared any concrete plans to do so. The government purchased 20 million courses of Paxlovid and 3 million of Lagevrio. Fewer than a third have been used, and usage has fallen in recent months, according to KHN's analysis of the data from HHS.
Sixty percent of the government's supply of Evusheld is also still available, although the covid prevention therapy is less effective against new strains of the virus. The health department in one state, New Mexico, has recommended against using it.
HHS did not make officials available for an interview or answer written questions about the commercialization plans.
The government created a potential workaround when they moved bebtelovimab, another covid treatment, to the private market this summer. It now retails for $2,100 per patient. The agency set aside the remaining 60,000 government-purchased doses that hospitals could use to treat uninsured patients in a convoluted dose-replacement process. But it's hard to tell how well that setup would work for Paxlovid: Bebtelovimab was already much less popular, and the FDA halted its use on Nov. 30 because it's less effective against current strains of the virus.
Federal officials and insurance companies would have good reason to make sure patients can continue to afford covid drugs: They're far cheaper than if patients land in the emergency room.
"The medications are so worthwhile," said Madoff, the Massachusetts health official. "They're not expensive in the grand scheme of health care costs."

My passion is to help people find their story in God's Word – and then to bring God's Word into conversation with the everyday-nature of our lives. I am pastor to a "traditional" worshipping community that lives untraditionally. Heritage Presbyterian Church sold its building in order to follow Jesus into the world.
I enjoy playing games and watching movies with my family, reading, running, cycling and yoga. I am married to wonderful man and together we have the privilege of parenting our two teenage sons. We reside in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
I graduated with academic distinction from McCormick Theological Seminary in May 2013. During seminary, I was awarded the Floyd V. Filson Prize in New Testament and Jesse Halsey Award for Imagination in Preaching as well as grants from the Robert and Jean Boling Memorial Fund for International Travel and Study and John Hayes Creighton Fund for Graduate Study in the Holy Land.
I am a second career pastor, having worked as a CPA for Deloitte and Touche for over a decade. I have served in almost every capacity in the church, although primarily in the area of worship and education ministries. I am a Minister of Word and Sacrament in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).
I don't believe so. It's been awhile since I worked there. Thanks for visiting!
I wondered where you were located, and just thought you might want to add your geographic context to your bio. Thanks for the great post on Jonah – really, really good. Where I live.
I'm in Milwaukee, which I just added. Also, I used your book Holy Solitude to guide my Lenten reflections this year. It was very meaningful to me.
I also just published my first book – Prayers for the People. I'd love to send you a copy and receive your feedback.
I have signed on to your blog. I found your prayer on the Beatitudes and then read that you are a McCormick grad, as am I. I was at McCormick from 1963-66 and had Floyd Filson for many of my classes. He and I shared the same first name so had a definite affinity for each other. I was awarded the Preaching Award in 1965 and then stayed on at McCormick for a year teaching preaching, drama, radio and TV. Congratulations on your outstanding achievements while there. Your Prayer will be used in part tomorrow at our services at Palm Desert Community Presbyterian Church in Palm Desert, CA.

An economy with a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of $19.36 trillion probably should be able to squeeze out more than $390.05 billion to fund charitable endeavors, a social safety net, education, research and exploration. Depending on who is counting, the $390.05 billion reported in for 2016 in "Giving USA" is roughly 2 percent of the overall U.S. economy.
Where there's a will, there are relatives. Nonprofits that benefit from a legacy can find themselves in the uncomfortable position of competing with heirs regarding the terms of a bequest. Even when there is no fight over the money, a nonprofit leader might wind up serving as an unofficial, and unpaid, advisor to an heir about the disposition of a will.
"Branding, partnerships, socially responsible consumption or business are all terms that catch people's attention and even engender arm and fuzzy thoughts about things like "niceness." Simon Mainwaring has all of these in mind in his book We First. He cautions that corporate social responsibility (CSR) is all very well and good, but depending on such responsibility or being swayed by lip service can be dangerous."

Perceived Conservative Justice Pens Liberal Outcome in SCOTUS Case
Posted on January 31st, 2019
Commentators remarking on U.S. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch have widely perceived during that jurist's short tenure thus far that he is a solidly conservative voice on the court. Gorsuch is believed to favor big business and entrenched commercial interests pursuant to a so-called "textualist" philosophy. That mindset espouses statutory interpretation without regard to underlying legal purposes or legislative history.
It is thus with surprise that many court watchers are touting a recently Gorsuch-authored case opinion as a solid victory for American workers over established business interests. One national report terms it a "remarkable win" for labor.
That decision was announced earlier this month, with Gorsuch writing on behalf of a unanimous court. The tribunal ruled in favor of an individual seeking damages against a trucking company for misclassifying him as an independent contractor.
The trucking company claimed a right under the Federal Arbitration Act to demand that the trucker settle his claim via private arbitration rather than through court-directed litigation. The plaintiff argued that an exemption in the legislation applicable to employees involved in interstate commerce allowed him to circumvent arbitration and proceed directly to court. The company countered that the FAA exclusion was inapplicable because the trucker was not an employee.
That turned out to be a faulty interpretation, following Gorsuch's analysis guided by inspection of the FAA from the perspective of legislators who worked on its enactment back in 1925. The above-cited Slate article notes that the court referenced "contemporaneous statutes and rulings" as well as multiple dictionaries from nearly a century ago to determine how lawmakers then understood employment. They reportedly did so in a manner that included "work agreements involving independent contractors."
The court ruled that the modern-day reading of the statute must remain the same. As a result, it held that independent contractors engaged in interstate commerce can bypass arbitration and head straight to court to address an employment-related work dispute.
Slate calls the case outcome "a considerable success for labor rights at a time when corporate interests dominate the Supreme Court."

Agra Attractions
Mehtab Bagh
The garden complex situated on the opposite bank of the Taj Mahal is known as Mehtab Bagh or the Moonlight Garden. It was designed as an integral part of the complex in the riverfront terrace pattern seen elsewhere in Agra. Originally, the garden was planted with fragrant flowers and used in the cool of the night as a place from which to view the Taj Mahal reflected in the octagonal pool and in the river.
Mohabbat The Taj
Indian heritage comes to life at the Kalakriti International Convention Centre which is home to Mohabbat The Taj, a state-of-the-art dance and drama spectacle depicting the famous saga of a King's love for his Queen. The show tells of the immortal love story of Shajahan and his beautiful wife Mumtaj, highlighting the lavish lifestyle of the Mughal era and the hardships faced by the artisans who, for 22 years, toiled over the creation of one of the most amazing displays of craftsmanship in the world. During the show, a 12ft x 12ft replica of the Taj Mahal, the largest of its kind is lifted onto the stage. Hi-tech lighting, dramatic Dolby surround sound and comfortable seats fitted with multilingual options round out a mesmerizing theatrical experience.
Agra at Dawn
Rent a bicycle or book a tour to see Agra in its early morning hours. Watch as the city wakes and enjoy the early morning bustle at the wholesale vegetable and flower market and shoe trading market.

Ukrainian Army Is Being Supplied With Russian Spare Parts 2.3333333333333 out of 5 based on 3 ratings. 3 user reviews.
A new corruption scandal is developing in Ukraine. It appears that high-ranking Ukrainian officials have been involved in smuggling Russian spare parts from military hardware of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
On February 25, journalists from the Ukrainian TV program "Our Money" specializing in corruption investigations reported that spare parts were being smuggled to Ukraine for defense enterprises.
According to the report, some officials in Ukraine have been selling spare parts for military hardware to Ukrainian defense enterprises with a markup of up to 300% since 2016, smuggling them either from Russia, or from the depots of Ukrainian military units. The deals were worth around $9.3 million.
The investigation pointed out that officials close to Ukrainian President Pyotr Poroshenko are involved in the scheme, in particular, the son of First Deputy Secretary of Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council Oleg Gladkovsky, Igor, his business partner Vitaly Zhukov, a certain Andrei Logoza, and also the country's defense conglomerate Ukroboronprom.
The journalists also reported about another scheme involving the purchase of Russian An-26 altimeters where the profit of the accused was estimated at least US$300,000, which was paid from Ukraine's national budget. Ukroboronprom paid $580,000 for the equipment whose purchasing price was about $85,000, the investigation says.
The important thing is that this investigation publicly revealed that since the start of the conflict in eastern Ukraine in 2014, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have systematically been receiving large numbers of Russian spare parts, components and packaged systems. The Ukrainian side reportedly used UAE-registered firms to buy these things in Russia. However, at least a part of these spare parts, components and packaged systems were smuggled directly from Russia.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces depend on Russia-made spare parts, components and packaged systems because of the type of its military equipment, most of which were made designed in the USSR. It employs various measures to obtain them in Russia where main production sites are located as well as from Belarus, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan, which buy large numbers of Russian equipment, and some storage facilities in eastern European states. The Ukrainian behaviour is logical and expected.
The main issue is actions of Russian comanies and security forces. Apparently, Russian sppecial services are informed about types and number of Ukrainian miltiary equipment. Therefore, the amount of needed spare parts, components and packaged systems needed for the Ukrainian Armed Forces can be estimated to a high degree of accuracy. The Russian side is also aware how many supplies of this type are needed for the UAE. In this situation the question arises: Why did the Russian side allow and international companies and intermediator firms to buy military supplies, which then are being delivered to the Ukrainian Armed Forces?
When Ukraine turns again, it would be good to have at least a few operational tanks.
It's not the "Russian side." Its the Jew side. The whole "Ukrainian" thing from the very beginning was (and still is) a Jew project. Scratch this parts smuggling operation and Jews will percolate to the surface.
The Jew oligarchs and Putin's cronies have transferred over $50 billion to Cyprus alone in the last 3 years. The plunder of Russia is in full swing as the poor Russian peasants sell their daughters to Jew human trafficking gangs just to survive.
Man, where did you get this info? It's not logic at all to transfer money in other countries which are vassals of the USA because of sanctions. Do not think Putin or his friends are so stupid.
Well, first you said about the money, now about the property. When you were saying the truth?
Google Russians buying property in UK and Cyprus.
Exactly, you are truth teller like me and that makes the shallow folks squirm. Jews are destroying Russia from within and without. You need to watch McMafia.
They should be supplied with Iskander missiles, on their heads.
Ukraine is destroyed by USA NATO appointed Homosexual chocolate boy trumpet Poroshenko.
Ukraine and Poland are now the forward bases for NATO's destabilization of hapless Russia. Jews have infested every orifice in the dumb Uki hohols.
First, the author is not competent. You can not export any weapons part from Russia without permission of the Federal Service of Technical Export Control or smth like that. Just google for ФСТЭК. And not only weapons parts but also parts of dual usage. I.E. components which can be used in both military and civil devices. A man I know wanted to deliver to EU some components for green power supplies and had to make special permission from ФСТЭК because of dual usage.
And second, ukrainian blogger Anatoliy Shariy already published the documents, which shows that many spare parts were taken from the ukrainian army as second hand, then sold through a chain of firms as brand new to a Kievian tank repair plant. The most of parts were sold from a plant "Leninskaya Kuznya" who's owner is Poroshenko.
He (AS) is very good, see his commentary on Parity removing judges in Rada.
I watch him since Odessa tragedy.
Sorry about "auto-correct I had written Pariuby, not Parity, DISCUS seems to not recognize Ukrainian war criminal names. And I think he had a hand in the 2 May 14 event too.
It would not be surprising if this was partially true, there are enough abandoned tanks to put together a scrap armored division, and there is a war going on. The reasons not to believe this entirely are that before 2014 Kiev was still courting an alliance with Russia, there is already enough Soviet era tanks sitting in Ukraine to provide spare parts for some time already.

Former FBI Agent of 25 Years Explains How to 'Speed-Read' Body Language—Now That We're Wearing Face Masks
By Joe Navarro, Contributor, CNBC	• Published January 12, 2021
Getty | South_Agency
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, social distancing has dramatically changed the way we interact with each other, especially when it comes to nonverbal communication.
Wearing a face mask has quickly become the norm — and that will likely remain for the foreseeable future. But with nearly half of the face concealed, it can be difficult to tell what a person is thinking and feeling. For example, an employee can't see that their boss' lips are pursed, which can be a sign of dissatisfaction. Or, if there's twitching in the corners of their mouth, it can mean they feel nervous or tense.
That said, as a retired FBI agent who has researched body language for more than 45 years, one question I've been increasingly asked is, "How can we better read body language, now that we're wearing masks?"
Part of the answer lies in the question itself. Too often, we put all our focus into people's faces, when we should also be observing the movements of their entire upper bodies. (This is especially important today, since we do a lot of social interacting through video platforms, where we see each other mostly from the waist up.)
Body language is an outward reflection of a person's emotional condition. Here are some tips on how to speed-read it:
1. Squinted eyes
What it can mean:
"I don't like what's going on."
"Something doesn't feel right."
"I disagree with what you're saying."
We often squint our eyes when we're trying to focus our vision on something that's far away. But squinted eyes and a furrowed "glabella" (the part of the forehead above and between the eyebrows) can also be a sign of disagreement or confusion.
2. Touching the neck
"I'm struggling with something."
"I'm stressed by what you're saying."
"I'm concerned about this situation."
If someone is touching their "neck dimple" (the visible indentation at the middle-front of their neck), it could mean they're distressed or insecure. If you notice someone doing this, try communicating with more empathy to help comfort or ease their anxiety.
3. Rubbing the chest
"I don't feel confident."
"I'm troubled by something."
"I'm very worried."
This is another sign of stress and anxiety. If someone is rubbing the upper part of their chest with a palm of a hand (or even just the fingers), it can indicate discomfort or concern. I recently found myself doing this when discussing a family member's health.
4. Arched eyebrows
"I'm happy to see you!"
"I'm pleasantly surprised."
"That's a very intriguing point."
If someone greets you with arched eyebrows (also called an "eyebrow flash"), it typically means they're pleased to see you. This expression can also be used to show recognition when someone makes a good point in a conversation.
5. Tilted head
"I'm interested in what's going on."
"I'm listening and fully present."
"I agree with what you're saying."
Head movements can go a long way in showing whether or not someone is fully engaged, especially during video conference calls. A slightly tilted head displays awareness and attentiveness. And, when combined with a few nods, it can show approval of what's being said or heard.
Joe Navarro retired from the FBI after serving as an agent for 25 years. He has been studying nonverbal behavior for more than 45 years and is the author of 13 books, including the best-sellers "What Every Body Is Saying: An Ex-FBI Agent's Guide to Speed-Reading People" and "The Dictionary of Body Language: A Field Guide to Human Behavior."

My Thoughts Following Our UK Elections + Where We Go From Here
December 14, 2019 / Gracie	/ 19 Comments
As a young person, scrolling through social media and the news over the last couple of days makes me feel desperately worried for our future. Not solely because of the results of our UK general election and what it proves about our country and what we have come to value (the headline on the BBC this morning was 'what a Conservative win means for your money' as opposed to what a Conservative win means for the less well off, homeless, disabled, refugees and many others who may struggle), but because even now, just days after we've voted and everyone has had the chance to have our say, Facebook is still full of petty arguments, profanities and insults. To put it simply – division.
However, amongst all the fear, frustration and grief that I see around me, I still have hope that we can come together as human beings.
I definitely don't understand all the nuances of politics and all the pieces of the bigger picture, but I've been on a journey that most people will never have experienced and it's shown me a lot about social division, where the divides lie and what it looks like when people come together. I've been welcomed into communities in every area and accepted by people from every background and that has taught me to see life from many different points of view. So I speak only from my own experience.
This is not really supposed to be a political post but if you look around you at the society we all live in, you'll see circumstantial inequalities and social issues at every turn and if we don't play our part in making a difference now, those issues will affect us all. I don't have to go into detail, the amount of people I've met recently who quite simply have given up watching the news because of the negative effect it's having on them says it all.
Some of us are totally disillusioned with our current political situation and some of us got what they wanted, but in the long run, division doesn't get any of us anywhere. As a society, we need to decide what we value and look at the consequences of those values for our future, just like we seem to have done with environmental issues. Social issues are no different, if we don't take action, it affects us all, not just those on the frontline.
For example, relatively recently it's become frowned upon to fly around the world and valued to be ecologically aware for the sake of the environment and humanity simply because we see the effects that things like flying will have on our future and it terrifies us.
We've taken that power into our own hands to act on environmental issues, why can't we do the same for social ones? Issues that are affecting people NOW?
We're at a tipping point and, I speak to young people specifically here, we are the generation who need to care. Even if you got what you wanted in this election, it's obvious that we can't rely on politics to bring us together any more. We have to do that ourselves. I'm not saying politics doesn't affect people's lives, but what's done is done. It's up to us to make the difference now. It's up to us to stand in solidarity with one another and make sure no one goes hungry or can't pay their rent.
Visiting what most people would describe as 'socially and economically deprived" communities on this journey has been eye opening for us and hopefully for you as you've followed our progress. These places are described as deprived because of all the social issues and because there isn't a lot of wealth and affluence, but these people have something most of us don't seem to have nor to value, but something that brings great support, contentment and wholeness.
It's hard to sum up in words, but these people are there for each other through everything, full of passion and energy, they have empathy and a deep commitment to the people around them. Politics makes their life difficult, but they are hospitable, generous and incredible despite of it. Who's in 10 Downing Street does not define them and we don't have to let it define us. We, as a country, can recognise that division does not serve any one of us and come together in our communities and as a nation. I truly believe that. What do you think?

How the Ford Escape Hybrid Works
by Ed Grabianowski
Ford Escape Hybrid Specs
To improve efficiency in the gasoline engine itself, Ford used a four-cylinder Atkinson-cycle engine in the hybrid version of the Escape. Atkinson engines are more fuel efficient than standard-cycle engines (known as Otto-cycle engines) at the expense of horsepower. To learn about the Atkinson cycle, see Lindsay Publications: Atkinson Cycle Engine.
The Escape Hybrid's 2.3-liter, aluminum, four-cylinder, dual overhead cam engine generates 133 horsepower at 6,000 rpm. The three-phase, permanent-magnet, synchronous electric motor adds 94 horsepower in the 3,000-5,000 rpm range. By itself, the gasoline engine can crank out 129 lb-ft of torque at 4,500 rpm. (For comparison, the four-cylinder engine in the non-hybrid Escape generates 153 hp at 5,800 rpm and 152 lb-ft of torque at 4,250 rpm.)
The AWD Escape Hybrid weighs in at 3,893 lbs (1,766 kg) -- the hybrid components add about 500 pounds (230 kg) to the Escape's weight. With a wheelbase of 103.1 inches (261.9 cm) and an 8-inch (20-cm) ground clearance, it's a relatively compact SUV. The Escape rides on Continental ContiTrac EcoPlus tires (spare included). The fuel tank holds 15 gallons.
According to Car and Driver magazine (Dec. 2004), the AWD Escape Hybrid with a full options package accelerates from zero to 60 mph (97 kph) in 10.8 seconds, has a top speed of 102 mph (164 kph) and goes from 70 mph (113 kph) to a full stop in 195 feet (60 meters).
For anyone interested in buying a hybrid, one of the most important numbers is the fuel mileage. The Escape won't come close to the 50 mpg or more offered by compact hybrids. Ford rates it at 35 mpg in town, 29 mpg on the highway. Several different tests (USAToday, 5/13/04; Motor Trend, Aug. 2004) showed the real numbers will probably be a few miles per gallon lower, but the Escape Hybrid still offers a 20 to 25 percent increase in fuel economy over the non-hybrid Escape and a huge gain over larger SUVs that barely manage 10 mpg.
The Ford Escape Hybrid comes in either front-wheel-drive (FWD) or all-wheel-drive (AWD) varieties. The official EPA mileage rating for the FWD version is 33 mpg in the city and 31 to 36 mpg on the highway. For the AWD version, it's 33 mpg in the city and 29 on the highway. With those numbers, one tank of gas should give you a range of 400 to 500 miles (650 to 800 km).
Check out the next section to find out what it's like to drive an Escape Hybrid.
Hybrid City/Highway Efficiency
A combustion engine is inefficient in taking a heavy car from a stop all the way up to speed -- it burns a lot of gas. And in a city, you do that every five blocks or so. So a car powered only by a gasoline engine gets better mileage on the highway, where there are fewer stops and starts. A hybrid car can operate on electric-only at low speeds, so it's not burning gas during stops and starts. Also, every stop recharges the battery. Hybrids therefore get better city mileage than on the highway, where the combustion engine does most of the work.

Most Australian's have only really thought about bankruptcy when playing a game of Monopoly with their mates! Despite this, there are close to 13,000 people that declare bankruptcy yearly in Australia. It's incredible how rapidly people can go from being in a healthy financial position to tackling a mountain of debt. Generally, situations like loss of work, divorce, or unanticipated medical expenditures will trigger serious financial issues within just a few months. Instead of wrestling with these debts for many years and ignoring the elephant in the room, it's far better to cut your losses and seek financial guidance as quickly as possible.
A few months ago, the Australian Government proposed changes to bankruptcy laws that cut down the bankruptcy term from three years to 1 year. If this proposed act is passed, it will have a powerful effect on the stigma related to bankruptcy and the financial repercussions that bankrupts will experience down the road. While many people understand the idea of bankruptcy, most people wouldn't know where to start if they determined that filing for bankruptcy is the best solution for them. To give some insight, here are the top 5 tips on how to file for bankruptcy in Australia.
If you've made up your mind that bankruptcy is the best choice for you, always speak with a registered bankruptcy trustee prior to making any concrete decisions. There is a considerable difference between a firm that charges you to declare bankruptcy and a legally registered bankruptcy trustee firm. In many cases, bankruptcy firms are not the same as registered bankruptcy trustee firms, so make sure you get the right advice the first time so you can make the best financial decision. The right advice will not only help you with your decision-making, but also put you in the best position to make a complete recovery after you have been discharged.
It is imperative to note that failure to provide accurate information or any effort to conceal information that would otherwise be relevant to your bankruptcy case is a severe offence that is punishable in a criminal court.
You must address every question in your bankruptcy paperwork accurately and truthfully to make sure it gets processed correctly. It is imperative that you include the address details of all your creditors in the secured and unsecured sections of the bankruptcy paperwork. In the Debtor's Petition, you'll need to present a minimum of two types of ID. If you're unclear of which forms of ID are acceptable, check the AFSA website (https://www.afsa.gov.au). If you run out of space when responding to any questions, simply print out another copy of that page and use it to fill out extra details. Moreover, be careful to include all assets sold in the last 5 years in question 33.
Before you lodge your bankruptcy paperwork, check the date to make sure you are submitting it within 28 days of you signing it. At Bankruptcy Experts Mount Isa, we understand that all the paperwork can be a bit difficult, so if you have any concerns regarding your any of your answers, it's best to give us a ring on 1300 795 575 to ensure you get it right the first time.

The Italian government is working on penalties it could apply against Atlantia following the fatal bridge collapse in Genoa, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said on Tuesday.
"This file (on penalties) is in my bag and has been traveling with me these last few days," Conte said in an interview in Il Corriere della Sera.
Atlantia unit Autostrade per l'Italia operates the bridge in Genoa which last week collapsed killing more than 40 people.
Conte said the €500m offered by Atlantia to help the victims of the disaster was a modest amount.
Asked if the government planned to nationalise the motorway concession sector, Conte said the government was examining the best way to meet the public interest.
He said Rome had already received alternative offers to Atlantia to rebuild the bridge.

Anglo looks to sell Peru copper stake to Japanese firms -sources
Clara Denina, Barbara Lewis
LONDON, May 17 (Reuters) - Anglo American is likely to sell up to 30 percent of the multi-billion dollar Peruvian copper project Quellaveco to Japanese entities, including Mitsubishi, which already own part of it, three sources familiar with the matter said.
The London-listed miner said in its 2017 financial results it is seeking to cut its 82 percent interest in Quellaveco, which could produce 225,000 tonnes of copper annually, to between 50 and 70 percent.
The sources said it has hired investment banks Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to help with the sale, which could be announced within the next two months.
Goldman Sachs did not respond to a request for comment and Morgan Stanley declined to comment.
Japanese trading house Mitsubishi owns 18.1 percent of Quellaveco, but is looking to increase the stake to just above 30 percent, one of the sources said.
Mitsubishi was not immediately available to comment.
Other Japanese trading houses including Sumitomo, Mitsui, JX Nippon Mining & Metals and Itochu are considering making final offers for a minority stake, the sources said.
Sumitomo, Mitsui, JX Nippon and Itochu were not immediately available to comment.
Anglo American declined to comment on details of the sale or the value of the project, which has been estimated by analysts at between $5 billion and $6 billion.
At an investor conference in Miami this week, however, Chief Executive Mark Cutifani said Anglo expected to hold 70 percent or "a little bit less" as it sought partners to offset the risks.
"We, like everyone else have learnt some lessons, hence our desire to syndicate this project," he said.
Mining executives say there is widespread interest in new copper assets following a lack of investment in exploration because of the 2015-16 commodity price crash and as the expansion of electricity grids and the take up of electric vehicles spurs demand.
Benchmark copper prices on the London Metal Exchange have rebounded to nearly $7,000 a tonne from lows of around $4,300 a tonne hit in early 2016, which was their weakest for seven years. (Reporting by Clara Denina and Barbara Lewis Editing by Alexander Smith)
