The peaceful times of Tola and Jair did not prevent the people from sinking lower and lower. The declension increased, and the evil became more pronounced. "And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of Jehovah, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsook Jehovah, and served not Him" (v. 6). Never before had such an assemblage of false gods been seen in Israel. The people were wholly given over to idolatry.
Ammon was raised up as the rod of Jehovah and oppressed Gilead eighteen years. He also passed over Jordan to fight against Judah and Benjamin. Then, under the pressure of circumstances, grace wrought in the conscience of the people. It is a remarkable fact, that, in proportion as apostasy approaches its final development, the awakenings in conscience became deeper. I do not say that they widened. We have but to call to mind the song of Deborah, which brought out in the clearest light all the privileges of the people of God. But Israel, at that time, had but a slight sense of their responsibility, the conscience of the people was less aroused, and self judgment less marked. We find here, for the first time, divine light penetrating the conscience of the people, and leading them to judge themselves deeply (c.f. Judges 6: 7‑10). "We have sinned against Thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim" (v. 10). Then God reminds them of all His grace and His deliverances on former occasions. and of the number of the nations out of whose hand He had saved them, adding: "Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods" - driving home, like an arrow in their consciences, the word which their distress had wrung from them, and He closes with these words: "Wherefore I will deliver you no more" (v. 13). Israel, as a whole, could not be restored. This finds its counterpart in the history of the church.
On hearing these words, the children of Israel took a further step in the salutary path in which the Spirit of God was leading them. "We have sinned; do Thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto Thee." Confessing their sin, passing judgment upon themselves, and acknowledging the righteousness of God's judgment, they added: "Deliver us only, we pray Thee, this day" (v. 15). They appealed to His grace. Could He turn a deaf ear to their cry? Impossible! Repentance led them to a fuller knowledge of Jehovah than they had ever had before.
This restoration would not have been real, had it not borne fruit. "And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served Jehovah" (v. 16); turning to God from idols they served the living and true God. Then Jehovah opened to them the treasures of the pity of His heart.
God wishes that this should be the character of revivals in the sorrowful days in which our lot is cast. It is well for souls to be acquainted with their privileges and heavenly position; but it is also necessary that a deep work in the conscience should accompany the revival, in order that fruits of true holiness, humble devotedness, complete consecration may be borne by Christians, and that without ostentation or putting themselves forward to speak of themselves, but, forsaking idols, to serve the Lord.
However blessed this day of revival was, one thing was painfully lacking - a knowledge of the fundamental truths which God had confided to His people. "And the people and princes of Gilead said one to another, what man is he that will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead" (v. 18). They had no sense of the unity of the people. Gilead made of himself a party. The authority and guidance of the Spirit of God were but little known, for they said: "What man is he?" They had only another step to make - to choose for themselves; this step they took in vs. 4‑11 of the following chapter. Not that Jephthah was not raised up of God, but Gilead took part in the choice. How widely different was this from the call of Gideon, and how painfully characteristic ofthe last days of declension - this inter‑meddling of man.

Lately the family has been going through all the stuff from my Granny's house, getting it ready for my cousin to move in with his family. To have life and family remain in a house is a great thing, but going down memory lane and realizing things change continuously is always a hard place. My Grandaddy and Granny were 2 special people. To know my Grandaddy was to know a man of humility and love. No matter how long they have been gone…. it always seems like yesterday. They left a legacy… For that I am grateful and always hope I live up to the example they left for us.
I also want to get rid of anything extra that I don't use or need so that people don't have to go through all my stuff when I am gone. It is funny the things you remember, but also the things you have forgotten about.
The best part of the past few weekends has been getting to see and spend time with the cousins. I have a great family! Thankful God blessed me with the best!

"Destroying Affordable Electricity" (with December 13 update)
by the Intelligencer's most-trusted energy source of information
Today we were treated on the forum page to a long opinion piece on "Destroying Affordable Energy" by Murray Energy CEO Robert Murray. Murray uses lots and lots and lots of statistics with next-to-no indication of where they came from. The only evidence cited is a recent study from Energy Ventures Analysis which I previously noted was funded by the coal industry and one by McKinsey and Company which concluded that the coal industry would get smaller. Additionally, Vladimir Putin is quoted because he recently said that he doesn't believe in global warming. (Ever notice that for conservatives Putin should never be trusted unless he agrees with them in which case he suddenly becomes an expert.) There is a lot of biased evidence out there (principally paid for by the extraction industries) and my hunch is that most of Murray's statistics come from these sources -- the article's lack of referencing is the obvious tipoff. Intelligencer editors, here's a thought -- why not use the online version of this article to link to the sources for the statistics as most bloggers do? If they're scientifically-reliable sources, it would clearly give the article a great deal of credibility.
The column also features numerous examples of Obama name-calling (like an old-time movie, you're then allowed to hiss at the villain): "Mr. Obama and his bureaucratic appointees," "the regal Obama Administration, with its appointed, unelected bureaucrats and political supporters," "greatest destroyer and enemy of available, reliable, affordable electricity," and, of course, the old reliable "political power grab of America's power grid."
And he doesn't spare any of the president's environmental-action supporters as Obama appeases his
radical environmentalist, liberal elitist, Hollywood character, some unionist, and other constituents.
Al Gore also gets ridiculed. Why? Isn't there somebody more current than Gore or is he just one of those hate words like "Obama" and "environmentalists" that gets a Pavlovian response from its intended audience at its mere mention. And let us not forget the radical environmental organizations:
there is a huge amount of collusion between Obama Cabinet employees and non-government radical environmental organizations, such as the Sierra Club, Natural Resource Defense Council, American Lung Association, and others.
The American Lung Association is a radical environmental organization? Wow, who knew?
The article comes in at over 2,000 words which is very long by Intelligencer/News-Register standards. (It's four times longer than Saturday's next longest article - the new Stone Center apartments article on the front page.) Is there any new information or fresh perspective offered in the article? No, the article collects all the anti-EPA, anti-Obama attacks and adds them to the climate change denials that we've been reading for years. I seriously think that I am the only person in the Ohio Valley who read all 2,000 words and that was only because I felt obligated once I decided to write about it. My hunch is that the rest of the population, even those who strongly agree with Mr. Murray, read a few paragraphs and quickly moved on -- life is too short to waste time reading an endless rehash of the same old talking points.
Why then was this 2,000 word article printed? Robert Murray may be the real owner of the Wheeling "newspapers" as I've semi-joked on a couple of occasions or more likely, he speaks for the coal ownership class and Ogden management has decided that his is the only point of view that counts. As an another example, I would point to the article that ran on the front page of both papers on Friday: "Displaced Coal Miners May Get Relief" by Casey Junkins. It begins:
Some Democratic U.S. senators hoping to reduce pollution associated with burning coal are supporting a new measure they say will help displaced miners by providing $41 billion to transition those workers into "clean energy" jobs.
The next four paragraphs explain how and why the legislation came to be developed and what its sponsors hope that it will accomplish. The following three paragraphs then develop the opposing Republican point of view. So far, so good: we've read what the bill does, what the sponsors hoped to accomplish, and why our local Republican representatives are against it. The next logical step for this article would be ________ (fill in the blank). If you answered "ask some local miners what they think of this proposal," you are correct. Unfortunately, the locals' answer is "ignore the miners who would be affected by the legislation and instead ask coal owner Robert Murray what he thinks." And so, Robert Murray, who recently sued the union that represents his miners, gets to be the spokesperson for those same miners:
Murray said coal miners do not want a "government handout or taxpayer welfare," but "only want to work in honor and dignity."
"Indeed, the lives and livelihoods of these coal miners have been absolutely destroyed by the blatantly illegal policies of the Obama administration, and senators such as Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton," Murray said. "This is yet another crass attempt by these liberal politicians to soothe their own conscience and to neutralize the political power of these coal miners, whose lives have been ruined."
It would not have been hard to talk to some local miners to get their opinion. Perhaps local miners totally agree with Murray. And maybe they don't. We will never know because for our local "newspapers" the only opinion that matters is Robert Murray's.
Update - December 13 - The Sunday News-Register confirms Murray's importance
My hunch is that today's top story in a majority of newspapers was the agreement reached in the Paris climate talks. While the Sunday News-Register did cover the accord elsewhere on the front page, its top story was EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy's comment on the marketability of coal.
Why is this Sunday's most important story? McCarthy's statement that "coal is no longer marketable" was actually made on Thursday and if you Google it you'll find a majority of the sources covered it on Thursday with most of the rest covering it on Friday. And so if we consider timeliness as important to newsworthiness, why the delay? And did any other newspaper find her reaction newsworthy? I could not find any AP mention of her statement and there were no newspapers (excepting the News-Register) in the first five pages of a Google search.
Why, then, is it the News-Register's top story? Read the story and you'll find that the beginning explains McCarthy's remarks and then the next four paragraphs cover Robert Murray and his predictable thoughts on the matter. As I argue above, when it comes to coal, Murray Energy's opinion is the only one that matters to our local "newspapers" even, as it did with the previous Murray Energy story, if it has to wait six days after an event to find out how it should be covered.

25 Fun and Classic Board Games for Kids (3-14 Years)
Home Big Kid Play & Activities 25 Best Board Games for Kids
25 Best Board Games for Kids
Aliya Khan
Board games have existed since the time we all were kids. Everybody remembers the classic Monopoly and Ludo and nearly all parents have grown up spending summers playing these games to no end. From sports board games to word board games, adventure sagas to strategy matches, it is time our children start enjoying the world of board games yet again. Here are some of them that can easily get your children and their friends hooked to.
Top Board Games for Children
1. Cluedo
Age Group: 8 years and above
Numbers of Player: Minimum 3, Maximum 6
Play Time: 45 minutes to an hour
Game Type: mystery
In Cluedo, we have a house where a murder has taken place and 6 suspects are present. For each game, a suspect, weapon, and room are randomly chosen and placed in an envelope. The players have to use their skills of deduction and find out the correct suspect, weapon and room for murder. Keeping a track of each other's deductions helps others get closer to the answer.
2. Hoot Owl Hoot
Play Time: 15-30 minutes
Game Type: Collaborative problem solving
One of the best board games for preschoolers, Hoot Owl Hoot is a co-operative game using colour-coded cards. The objective of each player is to help each owl reach its nest before the sun rises. Each colour card transports the owl to that particular location. There is also a special Sun card that brings the owl closer to daylight and increases the odds. Working together is necessary for bringing all owls to the nest and completing the game.
3. Robot Turtles
Game Type: Coding skills
In the age of computers and programming, this is an exciting game to play. It teaches the basics of logic and programming, accompanied by making funny turtle sounds for added fun. By using cards that push your turtle in a particular direction, players can arrange the cards in a logical flow so that the turtle reaches its destination in the shortest time via the shortest route.
4. Blood Bowl
Age Group: 12 years and above
Numbers of Player: 2
Play Time: 45 minutes to up to 2 hours
Game Type: Fantasy football
This game is a classic take on the tradition of American football. It contains miniatures of various fantastical characters such as trolls, orcs, elves, dwarfs, as well as humans. Two players pick their characters to form their own team. Each has their own strengths and players try to make the best team possible. With imagination and creativity in its focus, this is a new way of playing football.
5. First and Goal
Play Time: 2-3 hours
Game Type: Dice-based football
Similar to fantasy football in some way, players compete in football on a grid map. The dice have various numbers on it that decide the number of yards each team progresses. A strategy is required in deciding which dice needs to be played and how to move ahead. Using offensive and defensive cards in the right manner helps each side play to their strengths.
6. Scrambled States
Play Time: Half an hour
Game Type: Geography learning
Scrambled states is a great way to learn the geographical map of a country as well as have fun in knowing who can get it all right. There are cards for each state with information provided on them. The players have to get the right location of the state in the country, which makes you win that state card. The one with the most state cards becomes the head and the winner.
7. Mathopoly
Game Type: Mathematical board game
A great mathematical twist on the classic game of Monopoly. With the core concept same as before, the aim is to earn as many segments on the map as possible to be the winner. Here, for each segment, players have to solve a mathematical equation to be able to earn that segment. This not only induces a competitive spirit but also helps learn mathematics and solve problems quickly.
8. Apples To Apples
Numbers Of Player: Minimum 4, Maximum 10
Game Type: Literary strength and creativity
With a capacity of nearly 10 players, this becomes one of the best games for a party. In an overview, this game consists of two cards "Things" and "Descriptions". One player chooses a description card with an adjective, while other players choose a thing card that best matches it. The best matching card wins and the winner then chooses the description card, and so on.
9. Scattergories
Game Type: Vocabulary based
This game can be played as individuals or even as teams. The aim is to create a list for a category with each item beginning with the same letter. If the answers do not match with the other player of the team, points are scored accordingly. The player with the highest points wins.
10. Seven Wonders
Game Type: Strategy
This is a wonderful game to understand the beginning of society with a historical angle. Players undertake the role of leading a civilization from the very old ages to making it an empire. Players could either choose to be a more utilitarian nation or a military-driven country. Trading and scientific discoveries all become a part of this game, making it very exciting.
11. The Settlers of Catan
Play Time: 20 minutes
Game Type: Strategy and planning
Similar to building a civilization, this is quite a popular game among the kids. The players in the game have to collect various resources and build everything from scratch. This includes entire cities, pathways, roads, docks, and all, giving rise to a fresh new map every time the game is played. Each player looks for opportunities to dominate the other player and the aim is to build an empire better than the rest.
12. Pandemic
Play Time: About an hour
Game Type: Collaborative strategy planning
As the name suggests, this board game puts the players in the role of scientists that need to work together to save humanity from deadly diseases. Players need to strategise together and come up with plans to find cures for the illnesses. All of this needs to take place before the disease outbreaks happen and working together is extremely important.
13. Splendour
Game Type: Strategic trading
This game is quite addictive once kids get a hang of it. Each player plays the role of a merchant who is extremely wealthy and deals in multiple trades. From the acquisition of mines to manufacturing gems and jewellery, the game has it all. Players trade amongst themselves using cards and precious stones, to beat the other player in being the best merchant.
14. War of The Ring
Play Time: Nearly 3 hours
Game Type: Fantasy adventure
Set in the popular universe of Middle Earth, same as that of Lord of the Rings, players are majorly responsible for handling two armies – one belonging to the Free People, the other belonging to the Shadow Armies. With a variety of miniatures present in the game, it becomes extremely imaginative and creative to act out the story on the board and understand the mythos of each side.
15. Game of Thrones
Game Type: Strategy and war planning
Yes! There is a board game of the most popular TV show and the series of best-selling books. Set in Westeros and around the same characters, players choose the house they want to belong to and start taking strategic decisions in warfare to claim the Iron Throne in King's Landing. Right from making allies to taking diplomatic decisions to deceiving the enemy, players will have a gala time while playing this game.
16. Star Wars Rebellion
Star Wars comes to the board in this epic game set in the same universe. Star Wars grabs the attention of kids due to its setting and now this brings strategy to the fore. Choosing between rebels and the Empire, players make use of the miniatures and fight to defend themselves, while handling and managing multiple troops and starships.
17. Codenames
The game consists of two spymasters, who are each other's rivals. Each of the agents is privy to the identity and codenames of 25 secret agents. Players choose the teams they want to be in and work together to contact their agents before anybody else. Based on the clues that are provided, the players work towards guessing the right names, while a secret assassin silently kills others.
18. Headbanz
Play Time: Nearly an hour
Game Type: Brainteasers
An extension to the classic "who am I" format of the game, this one is great fun for kids and especially at parties. Each player wears a headband and places a card that is randomly picked from a pile. Only the other players can see the card. The current player then has to ask questions that can be answered only in a yes or a no. The aim is to guess the card you are wearing before the time runs out.
19. Dominion
Game Type: Card trading
This is a role-playing game set in an adventurous setting. Each player is a monarch and their aim is to expand their territory to make their kingdom flourish. By strategizing with other monarchs aiming to achieve the same, this makes for an addictive round of playing with each other and struggling to win.
20. Exploding Kittens
Numbers of Player: Minimum 2, Maximum 5, more players can play with decks combined
Game Type: Card game
As weird and funny as the name is, the game is just as fun and exciting. All it consists of is a deck of cards. Each player draws a card and keeps it with himself. If a player draws a card with an exploding kitten, he explodes and is out of the game. But, he can save himself if he has a defuse card or any other cards that can protect him and push somebody else out. This is a fast-paced game and has tons of moments of fun.
Play Time: Hour to hour and a half
Game Type: Tile game
Taken from the name of a place in France, the game, too, is set in a French landscape. Every player is supposed to place their tile in the map of the game to create a particular entity such as a road or grass and so. There is no reading involved and only needs strategic tile placement. Placing a tile, a player decides what role he wants to play amongst a knight, a robber, or a peasant. The game continues till the last tile is placed.
22. Twister
Numbers of Player: More than 2
Game Type: Exercise-based fun
One of the best board games for 6 year olds and adults, too. Twister comes with a spin-board and a sheet with multiple coloured circles. One player spin while other players participate on the sheet. Each player gets an instruction based on the spin and has to place his particular hand or foot on a specific coloured circle. This can give rise to funny poses all the time.
23. Candy Land
Age Group: 3 years to 6 years
Game Type: Non-instructional play
A straight-forward game that requires no instructions nor any counting. Termed as a great game amongst the board games for 3 year olds to 6 year olds, all the game has is the player tokens and colour cards. Simply pull a card and move the token to closest colour space from where you are that is of the same colour. The player to first reach the castle is the winner.
24. The Game of Life
Play Time: An hour or more
Game Type: Strategy adventure
The king of them all, this board game has been popular for a long time. Known to be a fun-filled ride from beginning to the end, players go through the entire journey of choosing a career, getting married, having kids, and trying to win the game of life. Chance based occurrences take place as well giving someone else unfair advantage over you or helping you win a lottery and turn you into a millionaire.
25. Scrabble
Game Type: Word-based
A game that helps develop vocabulary and improve spelling all at the same time. Each player picks out seven tiles from a back and aims to make the best word possible that can net the highest score. The catch is that each word needs to be connected to an existing word on the board. Entire afternoons and evenings can be spent on a game quite easily.
There are plenty of board games available in the market.. And although most parents would straightaway opt for educational board games for children, it is important to note that many other games that end up teaching children a few other values that cannot be learnt any other way. Get innovative with fresh board games and grab your chance to be a child with your own kid again.
Playing board games is not only fun but it can also help in the brain development of kids. If your child plays board games, like 'Scrabble', 'Chess', and 'Monopoly' his vocabulary, problem-solving skills, and mathematical skills improve, making him a 'word' and 'logic' smart kid. To work on his other 'smarts', get him FirstCry Intellikit – active learning for little ones.

I'm back from America and it was a complete blast. I had an amazing time and met lots of amazing creators. A big shout out to all the folks back in the US of A and a shout out for all the folks back home that kept me sane and happy. You can see ramblings about my America experience on my YouTube account .
One of the side benefits of recording myself on YouTube (and warning the stuff there is pretty dorky) is that it gave me the confidence to start recording my music. It's nothing fancy, pretty terrible sounding in fact, but I'm open to hearing myself now and learning how to make myself better for recording (a bit of technology might help there too). I've written 20 songs, and I've just finished getting rough grabs of most of them on garageband and started recording them again. It's interesting to see how the sound evolves.
I'm hard at work on a musical for the Young Music Society summerschool production, workin with Michael Sollis. It's really interesting to see how the collaboration process develops, the musical is slowly but surely getting there, every day shows progress and every meeting brings about changes for the better. Hopefully it will rock, it's our first creation together, but it should be fun.
Freelance work at Inception Strategies is good with a steady flow of work keeping creditors at bay and I learn something from every project I do.
Hopefully I will have some good news on The Long Road, my gritty urban fantasy soon.
AND most importantly, I just saw Pablo Latona at his fabulous installation in Civic. Watch the live feed or go there in person, you have until noon saturday (Australian EST), watch it for it is mighty.

Abstraction is a fundamental concept in software development. Identifying and building abstractions well-suited to the problem at hand can make the difference between clear, maintainable code and a teetering, Jenga-like monolith duct-taped together by a grotesque ballet of tight coupling and special case handling. While a well-designed abstraction can shield us from detail, it can also suffer from leakage, failing to behave as expected or specified and causing problems for code built on top of it. Ensuring the reliability of our abstractions is therefore of paramount concern.
In previous blog posts, we've separately discussed the benefits of using type classes in Scala to model abstractions, and using randomized property testing in Scala to improve tests. In this post we discuss how to combine these ideas in order to build more reliable abstractions for use in your code. If you find these ideas interesting please be sure to check out the references at the end of this post.
As described in our earlier machine learning example, this can be more convenient than requiring that the data types themselves subtype or inherit from some kind of "Addable" interface.
In Scala, the Monoid[F] trait definition (combined with the compiler type-checking) buys us some important sanity checks with respect to behavior. For example, the function signature append(x: F, y: F): F guarantees that we're never going to get a non-F result.
However, there are additional properties that an implementation of Monoid[F] must satisfy in order to truly conform to the conceptual definition of a monoid, but which are not easily encoded into the type system. For example, the monoid binary operation must satisfy left and right identity with respect to the "zero" element. For integers under addition the zero element is 0, and we do indeed have x + 0 = 0 + x = x for any integer x.
An interesting observation is that this implementation depends upon another type class instance Equal[F] which simply supplies an equal() function for determining whether two instances of F are indeed equal. Of course, Equal[F] comes supplied with its own type class laws for properties any well-defined notion of equality must satisfy such as commutativity (x==y iff y==x), reflexivity (x==x), and transitivity (if a==b and b==c then a==c).
Now that's an abstraction we can believe in!
 Omitting associativity and explicit discussion of closure.
 For brevity, these code snippets do not show library (scalaz, ScalaTest, ScalaCheck) imports.
 Excluding the unfortunate possibilities of null return values or thrown Exceptions.
 A semigroup is a more general concept than a monoid, which is modeled in scalaz by having Monoid[F] extend Semigroup[F].
 This implementation has a bit of a boilerplate flavor, this post describes how we could automagically derive our Monoid[Evaluation] instance.
 As implied by the ScalaCheck project's appropriate logo.

Q: How to prevent clang-format to add space after comment char? I have some comments in my code:
//asdf

when I use clang-format on it, it adds a space just after the // characters:
// asdf

How can I prevent that from happening in the clang-format configuration ?
Thanks

A: Combining the answers to these two questions should solve the problem:

*

*clang-format breaks lint annotations

*What regex will match every character except comma ',' or semi-colon ';'?
So the following line in your .clang-format file should do the trick (I did not test it):
CommentPragmas:  '^[^ ]'

That tells clang-format not to mess with comments that start with something other than a space.
For completeness, clang-format documentation here.

Michigan utility DTE Energy has submitted its 2018 renewable energy plan to state regulators. The plan proposes adding 1,000 megawatts of clean power capacity to the state by 2022. The majority of this new capacity will come from wind and solar projects that will be developed in the state. If the plan is approved, it is expected to drive some $1.7 billion in investments in Michigan's clean power space. It would also double DTE Energy's existing renewable energy capacity, up to 2,000 megawatts, which is enough to power more than 800,000 average homes.
The plan is part of DTE Energy's efforts to promote clean power in various sectors. The utility intends to offer a new voluntary program that is designed to help large businesses to make use of renewable energy. This plan also involves launching a pilot program that will make use of a battery storage system that is meant to improve the reliability of solar and wind power systems. This would ensure that businesses and consumers will have access to the electricity that they need when they need it.
As part of its plan, DTE Energy intends to invest in the development of new solar and wind farms. The utility intends to help build two new wind farms with a combined capacity of 375 megawatts. These wind energy systems are expected to begin operation by 2022. The utility also plans to install approximately 15 megawatts of new solar capacity in the state over the next three years. This will increase DTE Energy's solar capacity by 25%.
Michigan has been eager to show support for renewable energy initiatives in recent years. Like others, the state is looking for ways to cut emissions and distance itself from fossil-fuels. Such initiatives are meant to allow the state to achieve its environmental goals and, ultimately, combat the impact of climate change.

Unlawful killing verdict
TWO schoolboys who died when their stolen car hit a police road block were unlawfully killed, a jury ruled today (Tuesday, March 25).
Darren Franey and Scott Veach were 14 at the time of the Mersey Tunnel tragedy last year.
They had stolen a Vauxhall Vectra which was driven at speeds of around 100mph.
Mersey Tunnel police had used a heavy goods vehicle as a rolling roadblock to try to slow them.
This morning, Liverpool Coroner Andre Rebello said he will be writing a letter with regard to Merseyside Police taking over control of tunnel policing.
He added: "There may be, rightfully so, a public outrage that these two young lives were wasted in what was a criminal enterprise.
"It is quite clear that the purposes of going through the tunnel that day was to steal cars to sell them and for 14 year olds to be engaging in such activities makes us all wonder where the priorities and responsibilities in life have gone.
"There are matters that have been revealed during the course of this inquest that I believe will cause the public disquiet.
"Mersey Tunnel Police Force does not appear to be a police force in a sense that the public understands.
"I do not doubt that the officers and their management are dedicated to public service and carry out useful functions.
"But for society in Merseyside and at the Home Office I have to ask the question 'What is this the function of a police constable?'
"I will be writing a letter under rule 43 of the Coroners Rules asking that Merseyside Tunnel Police Force recruits or trains officers to national policing standards or the accord with Merseyside Police must be revisited with regard to Merseyside Police taking over all policing responsibility leaving the tunnel authorities to ensure the safe management of traffic flow strategies are implemented."
Louis Brown, counsel for Merseytravel, asked him to rethink the rule 43 recommendations and Mr Rebello replied: 'I have to make recomendations which could lead to changes in societies."
The jury of six men and four women returned the verdict after two days of deliberation and seven days of evidence.
The court heard Darren Franey was driving a stolen silver Vauxhall Vectra with friend and passenger Scott Veach.
The pair, both from Kensington, had stolen the car from a house in Chester.
Their pal, Paul Maguire was driving a second stolen car and managed to avoid the lorry. He has since been jailed.
The jury at Liverpool coroners court were shown a computer-generated reconstruction of the moments leading up to the smash in the Kingsway tunnel on March 2 last year.
It showed the silver Vectra crashing into the back of a red Mercedes lorry.
Pathologist Dr Brian Rodgers told the inquest Scott, from Guelph Street, and Darren, from Jubilee Drive, died immediately from multiple head injuries.
Merseyside police officers had maintained they were following the Vectras and not chasing them.
The Tunnels Police said the rolling roadblock used to prevent the boys from leaving the tunnel was an unofficial practice which had now been scrapped.
Both the Franey and the Veach families attended the inquest every day to hear evidence about what happened to their children.
Bridget Franey, Darren's mum, and Paul Veach, Scott's dad, were taken to the scene of the accident on the second day of the inquest.
On the second day of the inquest, both broke down as they wrote their son's name in the dust on the barrier where the crash happened.

University Townhall at Quaid-e-Azam University (Islamabad) – How do Art and Culture Shape Identity?
Farhan Kazmi
Art and identity are in constant conversation and one shapes the other, stated renowned poets Kishwar Naheed and Iftikhar Arif while speaking at Jinnah Institute's University Townhall at Quaid-e-Azam University, moderated by Harris Khalique. Iftikhar Arif highlighted the subcontinent's monumental literary heritage, recounted movements that had a profound impact on literary forms and political ideology in India and Pakistan. The Progressive Writers' Movement allowed writers to become effective social critics, and created space for public discourse that had never previously taken place in the public mainstream. The works of Manto and Qurratulain Hyder symbolized a new corpus of literature that was socially conscious, progressive and humanitarian. "Art allows its consumers to view the world as it is, not as it is propagated to be. It influences people's introspection of themselves and the society they are a part of, "Arif stated.
Kishwar Naheed, who is best known for her powerful feminist poetry and decades' long activism, stated that art can speak truth to power more truthfully than other political devices. Art that breaks through the binds of socio-political and cultural straitjackets is often decried as immoral or anti-traditional, but only through its wide consumption can social critique be accepted. She gave examples of television serials that were aired on PTV during military dictatorships which carried powerful messaging for social change and critiqued state policy. Kishwar Naheed underscored that popularity is never a good measure f or assessing art because popular preferences keep changing. For all the popular literature, film and music produced in Pakistan, only that art has stood the test of time which effectively reflected the human condition, she said.
Both panelists agreed that identity comes at the core of individuals' interaction with art forms; all notions of inquiry, acceptance, rationality and understanding are cultural products that individuals pick and choose from in open societies. They also agreed that literature in regional languages needs greater support, as it not only explains the world in a language more intimate to its readers, but also speaks of cultural specificities that are either silent or invisible in mainstream art and literature. The panel discussion was followed by an interactive question and answer session with students who shared their experiences of reading literature and its effect on their understanding of themselves and their society.

Trump Is Winning Twitter: Does It Matter?
SMITH BRAIN TRUST — Retweets aren't necessarily endorsements, and they definitely aren't votes. So what can Twitter tell us about the 2016 presidential election? Maybe more than you think, new research from the University of Maryland suggests. For starters, Republican nominee Donald Trump is winning — at Twitter anyway — over Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
Marketing professor Wendy Moe at the Robert H. Smith School of Business and Sarah Oates at the Philip Merrill College of Journalism, authors of a working paper focused on presidential campaign media coverage and tweeting, say Trump has been driving the conversation with his frequent tweeting, which eclipses that of Clinton by about 21 messages per day. They say Trump isn't just a prolific tweeter, he is also prolifically tweeted about. "We pulled 955,193 tweets that named Trump and one of our keywords relating to issues or personality," the authors say. "We pulled 272,579 tweets for Clinton using same keywords." Few tweets that mention Trump and his most unpopular policies also mention Clinton, suggesting his critics aren't simultaneously voicing support for his opponent.
A record-shattering 100 million people are expected to watch the first presidential debate between Republican nominee Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton on Monday, a tally previously achieved only by Super Bowls and 1983's M*A*S*H finale. Millions will watch with one eye on the broadcast and the other on Twitter, searching for a hint of which candidate is gaining traction among voters.
Messages sometimes take a different path, however, like when candidate Trump tweets about immigration policy to influence the public directly and in effect, bypasses the news outlets. The paper's title, "Donald Trump and the 'Oxygen of Publicity': Branding, Social Media and Mass Media in the 2016 Presidential Primaries," reflects the authors' measurement of Trump campaign Twitter dominance and its implications.
Trump, with his @realDonaldTrump account, is setting up the general election as a case study of sorts into how the Twitter effect translates to vote totals. Smith marketing professor Hank Boyd says it's too late for Clinton to try and dent Trump's Twitter dominance. And it remains to be seen to what extent Twitter chatter translates to enthusiasm and draws people to the polls on Nov. 8.
"But she can focus on other platforms, and her campaign made a great move in this regard by releasing a very clever auto-play spot on Clinton's Facebook and Instagram, as well as Twitter," Boyd says. The silent ad features deaf activist Nyle DiMarco calling for people to "use their voices" and vote in November.
But Twittersphere aside, Smith professor and economist Peter Morici writes in an op-ed this week that Trump remains a long shot. "Similarly, his strength with blue collar men is likely not enough to overcome his weakness among more-educated, middle-class women in several other (than Pennsylvania) battleground states — even if not by such a wide margin.
Two years ago, for example, General Motors' delayed ignition switch recall sparked a brand crisis that reverberated and amplified through traditional-to-social media platforms. Beyond a single social media post or a particular ad campaign going viral, marketers should be thinking in terms of "how and why a brand holds a particular place in a media ecology" connecting traditional media, new media and consumers, the authors say.

Reviews for The Slave of Heaven Book One
RiosDesire chapter 32 . 5/8/2013
These hunt chapters have been so thrilling to read! Love it!
I was enchanted by your writing , the tree, and the creatures. It seemed like such a vibrant beautiful place, yet the people also seemed wrong. I should really login to my account to review lol. I have really been enjoying this story! I find myself thinking about it during the day!
AnnaSikanda chapter 53 . 5/8/2013
I'd really LOVE LOVE LOVE more backstory on Lily's mother! I find her such an interesting character! I liked that you gave more info on her in the first version of Slave of heaven! So I would love to see it in the final re-write!
So exciting! Its 2:30am and I can't stop reading!
I have been immensely enjoying your story so far, I almost want to cry on behalf of Lily cause of everything that's happening to her! I am also finding myself fascinated with the religion and culture they have. Seems similar to Muslim, being suppressive to their women. Anyway, just wanted to say that, and also, I fear that Lily's brother may have an unhealthy interest in her...
Guest chapter 48 . 4/17/2013
I wish you the best of luck on getting your very talented writing published, you deserve it. Thank you for sharing your wonderful imagination with all of us. Regarding your idea of getting rid of the blood hound and making it a lilu, I personally loved the description and the detail behind its creation. I recommend keeping it in the story. However you are the creative writer so I will love the story regardless. Cheers!
Loved loved loved it. Can't wait to get started on the next book!
I loved this chapter although Aislynn and Alec had to suffer like that. You writing is beautiful and enchanting. I can't seem to stop reading. You story is one of the best I have ever read. Keep up the good work!
SomeRandomName chapter 1 . 4/3/2013
This story is amazing! The plot, the intrigue, the drama! The characters were deep and multifaceted, and the plot had just enough turns to keep me from putting it down. Keep writing-you have a true talent!
Is this story complete? Because it seems like it is, but there is no complete status update. Just a heads-up, but it is kind of confusing.
rosieroo chapter 1 . 11/11/2012
Hey there! I'm Rosie from a website called A Drop of Romeo and I'm happy to say that your story has made it into our archive, under the category of 'Supernatural/Fantasy'! Here's your raving review:
Rosie Thinks: The world that RyAnn Leigh has created is extremely imaginative and vivid. It's set in a modern day world, but with the addition of all manner of supernatural beings - light and dark elves, vampires, minotaurs, Nephilim, the list goes on. The Nephilim live in their 'White City', and the structure, traditions and customs found there were so detailed and amazing. The women, from our view, could be seen as oppressed but this is just the Nephilim way in the story.
Her descriptions make her world so vivid, with an almost poetic tone to it. However, it's too direct to be flowery, which is a good thing in my opinion. The narration reflects Lillith's personality extremely well and it was interesting to see her grappling with the difference in beliefs between races. The way that the races interact with each other was great to see as well, with the Nephilim and the vampires having a deep racial hatred for one another. The long histories of each of the races are just fantastic and so very intricate! But oh lord, Lucien! He was built up quite a lot from the start and their first encounters didn't disappoint! He managed to pull off being completely seductive without becoming seedy, forced, or downright corny.
I know quite a few people complained that the beginning was slow, but for me each chapter was enthralling and necessary to set up the world. There were a few small mistakes, with using the wrong word or forgetting the ' n't ' at the end of a word, but it isn't distracting at all, especially when the rest is so well written. Honestly though, towards the end of the story I thought Lilith's character was going backwards, instead of progressing, and her obtuse-ness was almost frustrating. It could just be me though! Despite this, I urge fantasy/supernatural fans to give it a go!
flyei chapter 34 . 8/17/2012
Woah that's the toned down version of Lucien? You have no worries here!
I actually don't really like Lucien but I think that'll change once I read more. He has yet to show any vulnerability or I don't know, something personal, so it's hard to see him as anything but what he appears. I'm glad that you haven't taken the easy way out but instead kept him to character which seems to include recklessness and cruelity/ignorance. It's really hard to see how Lily and Lucien could actually be together but that just makes me want to read more.
Anyway, Lucien is the only thing that has yet to convince me and I wouldn't have started this review with him but your comment at the end of the chapter just surprised me :D I'm going to review later something about everything else, but lets just say it's no wonder why you won the award. This is one of the best free online fictions I've ever stumbled upon :)
Soggiest.v2 chapter 40 . 6/29/2012
This story was such a great read. I found myself telling my friend all about it in the hopes that she too would read it, and then we both would be able to gloat over it.
The universe you created is so very in-depth. I love the different creatures and the wards, the jewellery and clothing of the Nephilim, and the very intriguing and unique personalities of each race. It really allowed me to connect with this world, and most of all, with Lilly.
I actually found myself crying once or twice during, "The Slave of Heaven," which is an incredible feat. The harsh situations that she often endures really hit a nerve for me, and I couldn't help but feel for her. When she was betrayed by Aubree and whatnot I couldn't help but feel intense anger, as throughout the novel you become accustomed with the human gang, and the betrayal really is severe. The emotions that you managed to make me feel were amazing- from delight to sad to anger. Well done.
On the other hand, I actually found myself becoming increasingly frustrated with Lilly. Her constant denial of her wolf side became very overwhelming. I could not help but become annoyed when time and time again, after it was so obviously, after everything, she continued to ignore the wolf. I know that it was just an element of her personality, however, I feel as though if you were to tweak this novel, the constant denial should be addressed. I read this kind of rejection in many stories, and I have to admit that it is a way to avoid the character becoming "cliché." In the sense that, the character isn't delighted when discovering that she is "special," "Wow, I'm a wolf! Awesome, let's save the world." I can see why you have done this, but I feel like it did not have to be constantly brought up.
I'm not really sure how I feel about her relationship with Lucien, in many ways it is great, but there were some unsatisfying qualities. Of course I'm thrilled that you did not make them instantly fall in love, but sometimes I feel as if Lily should have been a little more thankful of him. For instance after his actions during the Harvest Moon, which, by the way, was amazing and the most interesting part of the novel, did save her life, and he didn't rape her. She did lighten up to him, but the dislike was still there after he had done nothing to show that he would betray her, but I suppose it was just so difficult for Lily to become comfortable with him being a vampire. This is just a personal opinion of mine, take it how you will.
Lucien is a great character, a sweetheart in his own way, a gorgeous guy in a band, and a ruthless vampire who sucks blood from willing girls. I can't help but feel a little disappointed that we didn't read so much about him because he was such a captivating character. The characters in general really had their own voice, as each one was unique and in-depth. You did an amazing job in making us feel how you wanted us to for each character.
Overall, I loved reading this, and I curse my incredibly fast reading ability, as I finished this in less than two days. I will go on and read the sequel which is up, and hope to see Lilith and Lucien's relationship develop. Awesome job
Rick Veller chapter 7 . 6/14/2012
You are truly blessed. God has many uses for a mind like yours! Follow your heart and he will steer u in the direction he needs.
amanda chapter 43 . 10/7/2011
i just have to say that this story is absolutely amazing. seriously, the amount of detail you're able to give astounds me. this is definitely something that should be published!

Q: Oracle - ORA-01422: exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows I'm still working on this database for a small retail store (a scenario, thankfully!) and am currently trying to fix this issue with a trigger.
The relevant entities are Customer, Payment and Order. Payment is a link entity between the other two, so one Customer could make many payments and one order could have many payments (unusual but still possible) and that's all fine.
The trigger:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER Check_Payment_Status
BEFORE UPDATE OF Order_Status ON Customer_Order

for each row
  DECLARE paymentStatus payment.payment_status%type;
  BEGIN

    select payment.payment_status into paymentStatus
    from payment
    where order_no = :new.order_no;

    IF (paymentStatus ='Failed' OR paymentStatus IS NULL ) then
      RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20103, 'The full payment has not been made so the order cannot be     processed further until then.');
      update customer_order set order_status='Delayed' where order_no= :new.order_no;
    END IF;

    IF (paymentStatus ='Successful' ) then
      update payment set payment_date=SYSDATE where order_no= :new.order_no;
    END IF;

  END;
.
run

It works okay at the moment. Basically, before a customer's order can be flagged as "Dispatched" the payment status must be "Successful". If it's null or "Failed" the trigger will be like "oh no you don't!" (but in more formal words) which is working as intended. However, if one applies the business rule "an order can have many payments" the trigger needs to check all relevant payments which is where I get this error, as the SELECT INTO statement is intending to return one row only.
I've read up on Cursors a bit but I think I'm going a bit too far here - would anyone suggest some solutions, please?

A: Well, if an order can have multiple payments, how do you decide if it is paid in full?  Presumably each payment has an amount, and the order has a total amount due, so you need to check that the full amount has been paid.  Seems to me you can do this by getting the sum of all successful payments then comparing it to the total amount due.  The basic query would be:
  SELECT SUM(payment_amount)
    INTO total_payment_amount
    FROM payment
    WHERE order_no = :new.order_no
      AND payment_status = 'Successful';

A: On a general note, you have a lot of application-level logic tied up into a trigger, which will get you into a lot of trouble down the road because you're not going to know when and why values were updated in your related tables.
Dave Costa has a good suggestion for handling the payments, and I would create one or more related PL/SQL packages with clearly-written functions and procedures for handling the application-level logic that you're trying to perform in this trigger.
Triggers should be used very rarely -- typically when you're setting the primary key from a sequence or auditing access to a table.

A: I know this is an old question, but similar came up today in a client production database.  Sometimes can be useful to order by the primary key, perhaps a sequence number, in descending order and use "rownum=1".  Naturally you should find out why you have more than one record that matches the criteria and fix the bug in your application that allows it.


This week I´m animating and recording one of the most exciting projects I've ever done. Im super excited and can't wait to see the result.
As my life in Seoul finishes in few months I decided to design a motion graphics using all the stuff Seoul offers me: big buildings, crowded cities and metropolitan style landscapes.
The techniques I´m using for this is the famous "Matte painting" for compositing and an advanced color correction. For the animation I will use 3D models that will be animated in a 2D "hand-painted" style. This is an animation I always wanted to do, no rules, just a hole city to compose and a lot of characters to design.
I still have a lot of work to do!
I will upload it as soon as I finish it!

Q: AS3 #1067 Implict Coercion of a value of type flash.utils.timer to an unrelated type Function I've been getting this error and I have no clue how to fix it, it works in another class so it should work here, right? (I moved it from that class to this one) The only difference is that this class extends 'Game' and the other class extends 'MovieClip'
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type flash.utils:Timer to an unrelated type Function.

public static var timeLeft;

public function GamePlay() {
    // Start timer
    var timeCounter:Timer = new Timer(1000, timeLeft)
    timeCounter.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timeCounter);
    timeCounter.start();
}

// Handle time counter
public function timeCounter(e:TimerEvent):void {
    timeLeft--;
    trace(timeLeft);
}

A: You need to give Timer object and listener function different names:
public static var timeLeft:int;

var timer:Timer = new Timer(1000, timeLeft)
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timeCounter);
timer.start();

public function timeCounter(e:TimerEvent):void {
    timeLeft--;
    trace(timeLeft);
}

I assume timeLeft is set somewhere else?

A: Your function and your Timer are both called timeCounter, so it thinks you're trying to pass the Timer as a function (hence the error). You should rename one of the two, here I've renamed the function:
public static var timeLeft;

// Start timer
var timeCounter:Timer = new Timer(1000, timeLeft)
timeCounter.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timeCountHandler);
timeCounter.start();

// Handle time counter
public function timeCountHandler(e:TimerEvent):void {
    timeLeft--;
    trace(timeLeft);
}

Professor Jun Kondo
Fellow Emeritus
National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology
(AIST)
Achievements of Professor Jun Kondo
Professor Kondo started research activities later in 1950's, when the band theory has already established the basis of semiconductor electronics and a long-standing mystery of superconductivity was being solved by the BCS theory. The success of the latter theory was encouraging a trend for tackling difficult many-body problems in solid-state physics. In his thesis work Professor Kondo challenged a remaining problem in magnetism. He succeeded in clarifying the microscopic mechanism of super-exchange interaction and opened a mainstream path for studying the magnetism in metallic oxides. In 1964, i. e., one year after he moved to Electrotechnical Laboratory, which is an institute which flowed into the present-day AIST, he published a further prominent achievement, i. e., solution of the resistance minimum problem. Normally the resistivity of metals decreases with lowering temperature but that of some turns to increase at low temperatures. Its explanation had been a difficult but fascinating problem in low-temperature physics for a long time, together with superconductivity, since 1930�fs. Subsequently he clarified various anomalies accompanying the resistance minimum. All these effects as a whole were nicknamed �gKondo effect.�h The �gKondo effect�h proved to be a basic property not only of magnetic alloys but also of various many-body systems; it triggered a far-reaching progress in the study of many-body problems in wide-ranging research fields. Further, in the present-day frontier of research it has reemerged as an important fundamental concept. In the future as well it will be a brilliant landmark in the physical science of many-body problems.
1. Discovery of the �gKondo effect�h
Professor Kondo found that the scattering probability of an electron from a localized magnetic spin in the metal takes an extremely anomalous behavior increasing with lowering temperature as a logarithmic function of inverse temperature. The addition of it with the scattering probability due to phonons which simply decreases with lowering temperature was shown to lead to a minimum in the total scattering rate as a function of temperature and to marvelously reproduce the temperature dependence of the low-temperature resistivity. In this way he solved the long-standing mystery. Immediately he explained the anomalously large thermopower in the resistance-minimum metals and further predicted anomalies of spin susceptibility and specific heat, which were verified subsequently. Since then all the above-mentioned anomalies are called �gKondo effect.�h
The Kondo theory triggered at once extremely numerous both theoretical and experimental studies, which revealed that the �gKondo effect�h is not simply a property of dilute magnetic alloys but a most fundamental property shared generally by many-body systems including even elementary particle systems, thus exerting a remarkable impact in the whole physics community. The first pressing problem was how the logarithmic divergence at absolute zero of temperature is finally converted to a finite value in the close vicinity of absolute zero in various properties to be consistent with the observation. This problem was attacked by many forefront theorists in the world, fruitfully resulting in the development of powerful new theoretical methods and the discovery of many very exciting new physics as well as the finding that at very low temperatures a bound state is formed between the localized spin and conduction electrons which makes the spin vanish and arrests the logarithmic divergence. Such a theory clarified the microscopic mechanism emergence of the localized spin in the metal. In the wide definition the whole phenomenon accompanying the vanishing of the magnetic spin with decreasing temperature is named �gKondo effect.�h Among above-mentioned many exciting new physics are the infra-red divergence of the X-ray absorption edge, Anderson�fs orthogonality theorem, subtle low-energy excitation properties of many-body systems and so on. Confinement of quarks by gluons in particle physics was clarified to be a similar phenomenon as the �gKondo effect.�h Professor Kondo himself theoretically found that a logarithmic anomaly appears in the diffusion constant of muons in metals and the resistivity in amorphous metals as well. He clarified that all these anomalies are due to a divergent response to low-energy excitations of the electronic system having the Fermi surface. In this sense he calls the whole above-mentioned anomalies, including the �gKondo effect,�h as �gFermi-surface effect.�h
The �gKondo effect�h is an absolutely necessary fundamental concept in the study of a group of materials called as high-density Kondo systems, or Kondo lattice. In these materials the �gKondo effect�h appears in the high temperature region and in the low temperature region the electronic system presents itself as heavy electrons which take such various exciting ordered states as anisotropic superconductivity, antiferromagnetism, ferromagnetism, electric multipole state and so on and are giving rise to hot research activities. The Kondo materials are paid attention also due their high values of thermopower for a potential electronic cooling material. It was a recent great surprise that the �gKondo effect�h was very clearly observed in tunneling conductivity in quantum dot systems in the forefront of nanotechnology, indicating that the �gKondo effect�h is an indispensable concept also in this developing research front.
According to ISI, the name KONDO has been cited in about 4300 papers since 1980, although the Kondo paper was published in 1964 and cited most frequently in subsequent years.
2. Microscopic Mechanism of the Super-Exchange Interaction
In oxygenized or halogenized transition metals such as manganese oxide a magnetic interaction had been observed since 1930�fs to work between two localized spins residing in metallic atoms which straddles oxygen or halogen atom. This interaction is called super-exchange interaction. Several theories on its microscopic mechanism were proposed. Professor Kondo proposed a theory in which virtual electronic excitation processes gives rise to this interaction, which finally proved to be the right one. This mechanism is often called Anderson�fs super-exchange interaction since his review paper on this interaction is well known, but it is in this review that he judged that the Kondo mechanism is the right one. Colorful magnetic phenomena in transition metal oxides were clarified on the basis of this interaction. Since this interaction determines the basic magnetic properties of the undoped states of high-temperature cuprate superconductors and manganese oxides showing colossal magnetoreistance, it is an indispensable basic concept for microscopically clarifying high-temperature superconductivity and colossal magnetoresitance.
Both Kondo effect and super-exchange interaction are standard fundamental concepts that any condensed-matter researcher fails to know. Besides these two, Professor Kondo presented results of high reputation such as theory of anomalous Hall effect, theory of two-band superconductors, theory of doped hole distribution in cuprate high-temperature superconductors and so on. Thus, Professor Kondo discovered several monumental fundamental concepts in many-body systems. In particular, he performed outstanding contributions in constructing the basis of condensed-matter physics related with magnetism.

Quandora's Social Knowledge Management Service Secures $150k Seed Funding
By Chris Knight | Feb 26, 2013
Question-and-answer for enterprise knowledge management vendor Quandora, has secured a seed investment from Kima Ventures to boost further platform development and accelerate its delivery roadmap.
Feeding Enterprise's Desire for Answers
Last year, Quandora launched its enterprise questions and answers platform to help simplify the act of sharing knowledge within organizations.
To continue that push, the company announced that it has secured US$ 150,000 seed funding from Kima Ventures to boost its development, bringing Quora-like features to businesses.
Kima Ventures was co-founded by Xavier Niel, the entrepreneur behind France's disruptive and successful Free telecom, and creator of the Freebox, the first set-top box combining internet, phone and television consumer services.
With knowledge management a key area in any information-oriented business, the Quandora offers cloud or on-premises services to create living information resources and help workers, teams and distributed work forces find the answers to the many questions they have.
Using a straight forward Q&A format -- one that will be familiar to anyone who's used Stackoverflow or similar Stack Exchange services -- the process offers a simplified method of welcoming new employees at the beginning of their career, and can be used for corporate and team information sharing, and many other tasks.
Knowledge Management via Q&A
Quandora integrates with the likes of Google Apps, Salesforce.com, Yammer, email and other services to appear in the right places to be most useful for users . It also makes use of social networking, game dynamics, and crowd-sourcing mechanisms to help generate content, and to encourage workers to keep contributing.
The latest version of Quandora, v1.6.0, was released earlier in the month and includes new analytics, leaderboard and tag management features to create a better view for business leaders and to encourage users to get the best from the service.
The service is free to test in a public version, or a free trial is available -- but you can instantly see how the company uses its own product to provide information here. In addition, the following video provides a quick introduction.
Quandora Pricing
Private business users can start from $3 per user per month for up to 25 users with more cost-effective bands stretching up to larger enterprise license. In an era of ever wider distributed workforces (despite whatever Yahoo thinks), Quandora could be a winning platform for serving as a simple, clear and easy to use enterprise knowledge repository.

What I did was to follow the book
Practical Methods for Optimal Control and Estimation Using Nonlinear Programming between pages 141 and 142. Since my control is unknown the y_hat are simply the average of the sum of y_k+1 and y_k, then, I defined the variables D and L at these points and then calculated y_k+1 - y_k how it is sugested in page 141.
However, instead of seeing the variables displayed as in the first code, now I see some kind of weird loop. This is my propper answer with trapezoid rule
and this is my defective solution with Simpson's method.
All recomendations on where my error or errors are are extremely welcome.
Thanks for reading.

A: After triyng for some time, I have found out that it is a licence problem what is causing these issues. A simple change in the code enables it to work as it should.

Designing around red carpets in your home may be a little more difficult than designing around red carpets in Hollywood!
I have a very open house with burgundy carpet throughout. I would like to start some painting but I really don't know what colors (for the walls) would look good with the burgundy carpet. I need an answer quick! If you have any suggestions, ideas, etc. I would definitely appreciate them. Thanks!
Some color options you may want to consider could be warm cream colors, gold or mustard colors and darker green colors. Green and red are complimentary colors and choosing the right shade of each will leave you a beautiful color scheme. Make sure to get samples and hold them against your carpeting. I would even suggest painting a small amount of the wall to see how the color would look in the room.

Mural Ordinance – From the viewpoints of a prestigious muralist and a noted art historian
Venice Beachhead
By Anna Siqueiros and Lisbeth Espinosa
In 2011, the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs announced that less than 1200 murals existed in the entire city, and L.A. is no longer the 'mural capital' of the country.
In an effort to revive its mural culture, the City of Los Angeles Department of Planning was tasked with coming up with a new mural ordinance to encourage new projects. Working with muralists from throughout the city a final mural draft ordinance was hammered out after a painstaking six month democratic process of discussion, drafting, editing and revising in meetings sometimes lasting three hours.
However, on July 12, 2012, the mural ordinance presented to the City of L.A. Planning Commissioners was not the ordinance the muralists had crafted.
Included in the final draft ordinance presented by City Planner Thomas Rothmann were conditions and limitations that were nowhere in the measure as previously drafted. These included:
· Murals can only be located on residential buildings of five or more units.
· Murals need to remain intact for a minimum of two years.
· Murals cannot exceed the height of the structure or 100 feet.
· Muralists pay an administrative permit fee of $60, $80 or $100 depending on the cost of materials.
· Revision of the L. A. Municipal Code definition of Original Art Mural to include "digitally-printed images" – a process of reproducing a mural on vinyl and installing it over the original.
Artists from all over L. A. attended the Planning Commission hearing to voice their concerns over an ordinance that will profoundly affect their livelihoods as muralists.
During public comment, more than 30 muralists plus professional individuals like David Diaz, PhD, an expert in urban planning and policy at CSULA, and organizations such as United Painters and Public Artists a collective of muralists and graffiti writers, the Mural Conservancy of Los Angeles and the Venice Arts Council voiced their opposition to the mural ordinance.
Despite three votes on the motion to pass the ordinance on to the city council, the Planning Commissioners were unable to agree on the ordinance as presented. Debate on the ordinance has been postponed until Sept. 13, however no public comment will be allowed at that hearing.
If a decision is not made on that day, the ordinance will be submitted "as-is" to the Planning and Land Use Management Committee. If they pass the ordinance, it will be sent by the Los Angeles City Council for adoption.
To get involved in this matter, visit Mural Conservancy of L.A., www.muralconservancy.org, United Painters and Public Artists, www.unitedpainterspublicartists.com, or the Venice Arts Council, www.veniceartscouncil.org.
Anna E. Siqueiros is a prominent L.A. artist and muralist and the great niece of David Alfaro Siqueiros, legendary painter of the first mural in L.A., "America Tropical" on Olvera Street in 1932.
Lisbeth Espinosa, an art historian and lecturer has documented L.A. murals for the last ten years.

Are Poorer Countries Necessarily More Corrupt?
Understanding corruption — how it arises and why some countries are more corrupt than others — has always been difficult for sociologists.

Understanding corruption — how it arises and why some countries are more corrupt than others — has always been difficult for sociologists. But now, researchers at Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic, have found a positive correlation between a country's level of perceived corruption and its level of economic development.
The study defines corruption as the use of public power for the purpose of private benefit and categorizes countries into four distinct clusters. To understand how countries are perceived in terms of corruption, researchers gathered data from sources like the African Development Bank and the Economist Intelligence Unit. They also relied on the opinions of experts who assess corruption levels.
Cluster 1, perceived as the least corrupt, includes countries like the US, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore. The average GDP per capita of these countries is $52,138.
Cluster 2 is comprised of European countries like Malta, Slovenia, Cyprus, Spain, and Portugal; the African country of Botswana; and oil exporters such as Oman and Kuwait. This group's average GDP per capita is $23,521.
Cluster 3, the second-to-most corrupt group, includes Greece and Italy (currently facing serious economic problems); post-communist countries like Czech Republic, Poland, and Latvia; and most of North Africa (Morocco, Egypt, and Tunisia). Per capita GDP of this group is $9,751.
Cluster 4, a collection of states perceived as the most corrupt with an average GDP of just $3,888, includes Russia, China, and India, as well as smaller African states and many Latin American countries.
Corruption is a tricky thing to measure, however, especially since those who are acting corrupt spend a great deal of energy either hiding it or disguising it as something benign. Harvard Professor and political activist Lawrence Lessig explains that the US falls into the latter category, keeping up democratic airs while permitting public power to benefit private interests:

I love that rhino. And just look at all that blue sky. It must be hot there now, Australia, but here winter is setting in and yesterday it was cold all day. You are lucky now because you can all go down to the Trump and have good times. Great pictures, Australia. Enjoy your summer !
I am loving the weather here Dai. Best time of the year 🙂 You must visit one day.
Hi Australian. I'm trying to catch up slowly but I have to be careful with my eyes until they get back to normal. Funny but two days ago I was watching the Australian Border Control series and I was thinking about visiting there one day. It's so shockingly far though.
I've heard it so many times. Australian, did you hear about the woman in Frankston, Melbourne, who got up in the morning to find a tiger snake in her Christmas tree in her sitting room ? It was on the news here today. I think I'd have an instant heart attack.
I haven't seen that in news yet, will google it next.
