Tired of trying out expensive new creams and miracle elixirs that claim to make you look younger but seem to do little more than make your skin slightly softer? There's a real solution to getting younger, healthier-looking skin, and it has nothing to do with the ingredients in a bottle. What you eat – and, specifically, what you don't eat – can have a big impact on the look and feel of your skin.
Sugar, in particular, may be causing you to age more quickly than you actually are. Indulging in too many sweet treats can cause your skin to look dull, to sag, and to develop fine lines and wrinkles.
One of the primary reasons that sugar affects your skin is that is causes inflammation in the body. The inflammation can cause cellular breakdown, which can cause sagging and fine lines and wrinkles.
Sugar consumption can also cause spikes in blood sugar levels. When blood sugar levels rise too quickly, it can lead to a process known as glycation. During this process, sugar attaches itself to collagen and produces damaging byproducts that can undermine the elasticity of your skin. This process can make your skin appear dryer, thinner, and more rigid – all of which will make it appear older.
Not only does sugar damage the collagen you have, but it also affects the type of collagen you have. Glycation transforms the stable and longer-lasting collagen type into a weaker, more fragile type of collagen, which makes your skin more vulnerable to damages.
You don't have to eat a lot of sugar to experience these harmful effects on your skin. The sugar in a single can of soda is enough to set off the chain of reactions that can age your skin. It's important to cut out sugar as much as you can to improve the health of your skin.
Even if you can't cut out sugar cold turkey, you can make healthier choices. Instead of white breads and pastas – which will cause the same spike in blood sugar as candy bars and cakes – choose whole-grain options. Instead of white potatoes, eat sweet potatoes or yams. Instead of chocolate, eat dark chocolate. Instead of candy, eat fruit.
You can also protect your skin against the damages caused by sugar by consuming more antioxidants. Good sources are berries (blueberries, strawberries, cranberries), nuts, red bell peppers, and tea. Antioxidants fight free radicals that are caused by inflammation, helping to protect against cellular damage. Not only do they help fight against skin damage, but they also fight against disease and other chronic health conditions.
Don't waste money on expensive moisturizers and wrinkle creams that claim to turn back the clock. Just focus on eating a healthy diet that's free of sugar and high in healthy vegetables. You'll look like you've had a face lift without ever going under the knife.

People like to make things into battles, with two opposing sides. You know, like in the Mommy Wars where breastfeeding is a battle cry and formula feeding is a ferocious counterattack. Oy vey.
"EEWWW! She's just skin and bones!" say the commenters. And then thin women get understandably pissed.
Let's be real for a moment. The fat acceptance movement, though increasingly present and vocal, has a long way to go in terms of garnering mainstream support. We exist in a culture that fat-shames incessantly. No one is immune from it. We are told in millions of tiny and screamingly loud ways every day that fat is gross, horribly unhealthy, ugly, and unacceptable. Even thin girls and women often fight hard, and sometimes dangerously, to be thinner, because we have learned that thinner is always better.
I don't think there's a real contest here. Heavy women are discriminated against, treated cruelly, and made to feel terrible about themselves because of the way they look. Not true for thin women.
When we talk about body image, thin women are a part of that conversation. They have to be. We ALL deal with beauty standards. We ALL face off against our own appearance expectations. And many of us, regardless of how much we weigh, think more than we'd like to admit about our weight.
And even more than this, people's appearances don't always tell the whole story. Actually, they rarely do. Some very thin women feel self-conscious about their bodies and wish that they were curvier. There are very heavy anorexics and very small binge eaters and people who feel completely great about the way they look even though no one else seems to think they look good. There are supermodels who feel ugly. It isn't possible to look at someone and diagnose how they feel about their body. It's unfair to assume that you know how they should feel.
I have apologized for my weight in these contexts, caught off guard and confused and upset about offending someone. But I have also struggled with my weight, harassed myself over it. I, like so many girls and women, have quietly believed in my own ugliness, and made a thousand shameful little promises that began with "I will stop eating all of the things that taste good." Yeah. Because that usually works.
In fact, everyone who deals with body image issues has a right to talk about body image. Men, too, while we're being inclusive here. We are all living and participating in a culture that has a lot to say about what is hot and what is not, and we're affected by it. In different ways, certainly, but sometimes in ways that are more similar than we might imagine, when we come from such disparate backgrounds and have such varying appearances. They do not call South Africa the Rainbow Nation for nothing.
One of the great things about the internet and the communities it fosters is that there is plenty of room for passionate, involved subgroups. You can find support for whatever it is that you're dealing with. You can have a space to talk about the pressure you feel to be thinner, even when you're already thin. Even though you might not understand why you feel this way and are embarrassed and frustrated by it. And I think it's really important to talk with other people who are dealing with the same issues you are. But I also think we need to come together to talk about beauty and body image in a larger context. And to do that, we need to stop excluding people.

First half of June 2014 have been very interesting. Here's a photo collection summarizing my whereabouts during the past couple of weeks.
Dorotee Sweetlips fashion show at Animetics. Yay for a super nice dressing room. Too bad my fashion show crew wasn't complete that day but nevertheless it was fun all the same. Something super funny happened and I will never forget! Haha. Happy memories~ Love you guys!
Shot a couple of looks: a preview of one of my pieces from the fashion show and a personal style outfit post. My hair is long again, yay! Now I should find ways to add more volume to it.
Finally, a bath for Kisses after two months. lol.
Moar work! Catching up on commissions.


I was surprised to find a huge box on my door step Friday! Inside were three bottles of Newman's Own salad dressings, three jars of Newman's Own sauce, a flip HD camera, two coupons for Newman's Own frozen pizza, and instructions to make a short video.
Put a large pot of water on the stove to boil. Wash and cut the peppers in half lengthwise, removing the seeds and membrane. Chop the onion. Carefully put the 8 pepper halves in the boiling water, return to a boil. Place the onion and the sausage in a high sided skillet and cook over medium heat until the sausage is no longer pink. Turn off both burners. Stir in a big handful of cheese with the sausage and onions. Turn the oven on to 350°. Drain the peppers and place in a large baking dish. Spoon equal amounts of the sausage mixture into each pepper. Top with about 1/4 cup of Newman's Own sauce. Cover baking dish with foil and place in the oven for about 10 minutes. Serve immediately and enjoy!
The Newman's Own products and flip HD camera were received complimentary as part of a video demo promotion through Newman's Own and FoodBuzz. The recipe and opinions are my own.
Wow! What a fun package!
your husband to be is so cute, I love me a nerd boy!
This is awesome! I love stuffed bell peppers so much, never tried them with sausage though. That sounds good!

Q: How to store a version number in a static library? How can I store a version number in a static library (file.a) and later check for its version in Linux?
P.S. I need possibility to check version of file any time without any special executable using only by shell utilities.

A: Creating a new answer based on your edit...  Just to avoid confusion :)
If you are looking for a non-code way to solve the problem, you could try this.  It's (yet again) an alternative to the strings approach defined by Puppe.
Maybe you could just touch a file called version_1.2.3 and add it to the archive.  Then, you could determine the version by looking for the version file using the ar command:
ar t libmylib.a | grep 'version_' | sed -e 's/^version_//'

I'm not sure if that will get you what you need, but there is no standard method for embedding metadata like this in an archive.  Maybe you'll find other information you want to store in this "metafile" for the archive.

A: If you are using gcc, you can use the #ident directive
#ident "Foo Version 1.2.3.4"
void foo(void){ /* foo code here */ }

To get the version just use one of the following:
strings -a foo.o | grep "Foo Version"
strings -a foo.a | grep "Foo Version"
strings -a foo.so | grep "Foo Version"

This will allow you to compile the version into the library with the capability of later stripping it out using strip -R .comment your_file or completely omit it by passing -fno-ident (This will also omit the compiler version comments from the compiled objects)

A: In addition to providing a static string as mentioned by Puppe, it is common practice to provide a macro to retrieve the version check for compatibility.  For example, you could have the following macros (declared in a header file to be used with your library):
#define MYLIB_MAJOR_VERSION 1
#define MYLIB_MINOR_VERSION 2
#define MYLIB_REVISION 3
#define MYLIB_VERSION "1.2.3"
#define MYLIB_VERSION_CHECK(maj, min) ((maj==MYLIB_MAJOR_VERSION) && (min<=MYLIB_MINOR_VERSION))

Notice with the MYLIB_CHECK_VERSION macro, I'm assuming you want a specific major rev and a minor rev greater than or equal to your desired version.  Change as required for your application.
Then use it from a calling application, something like:
if (! MYLIB_VERSION_CHECK(1, 2)) {
    fprintf(stderr, "ERROR: incompatible library version\n");
    exit(-1);
}

This approach will cause the version information to come from the included header file.  Additionally, it will be optimized at compile time for the calling application.  With a little more work, you can extract it from the library itself.  Read on...
You can also use this information to create a static string stored inside your library, as mentioned by Puppe.  Place something like this inside your library:
struct {
    const char* string;
    const unsigned major;
    const unsigned minor;
    const unsigned revision;
} mylib_version = {
    MYLIB_VERSION, MYLIB_MAJOR_VERSION, MYLIB_MINOR_VERSION, MYLIB_REVISION
};

This will create a struct called mylib_version in your library.  You can use this to do further verifications by creating functions inside your library and accessing those from a calling application, etc.

A: Maybe you could create a string with the version like this:
char* library_version = { "Version: 1.3.6" };

and to be able to check it from the shell just use:
strings library.a | grep Version | cut -d " " -f 2

A: Several times man 1 ident has been mentioned, so here are details about using that method.
ident is a command that comes with the RCS (Revision Control System), but might also be available if you are using CVS (Concurrent Versions System), or Subversion.
You would use it like this (cloned from the man page):
#include <stdio.h>
static char const rcsid[] =
    "$Id: f.c,v 5.4 1993/11/09 17:40:15 eggert Exp $";
int main() { return printf("%s\n", rcsid) == EOF; }

and f.c is compiled into f.o, then the command
ident f.c f.o

will output
   f.c:
       $Id: f.c,v 5.4 1993/11/09 17:40:15 eggert Exp $
   f.o:
       $Id: f.c,v 5.4 1993/11/09 17:40:15 eggert Exp $

If your f.o were added to a static library f.a then ident f.a should show a similar output.  If you have several similarly built [a-z].o in your az.a you should find all their strings in the az.a file.
CAVEAT: Just because they are in the .a file doesn't mean they will be included in your program file.  Unless the program references them the linker sees no need to include them.  So you usually have to have a method in each module to return the string, and the app needs to call that method.  There are ways to convince most linkers that it is a required symbol without actually referencing it, but it depends on the linker, and is beyond the scope of this answer.
If instead you are familiar with the SCCS (Source Code Control System) then you would use man 1 what instead, and it would look like this (done with macros to show the flexibility available):
#include <stdio.h>
#define VERSION_STR "5.4"
#define CONFIG "EXP"
#define AUTHOR "eggert"
static char const sccsid[] =
    "@(#) " CONFIG " v " VERSION_STR " " __DATE__ " " __TIME__ " " AUTHOR;
int main() { return printf("%s\n", sccsid) == EOF; }

and f.c is compiled into f.o, then the command
what f.c f.o

will output
   f.c:
       @(#) EXP v 5.4 1993/11/09 17:40:15 eggert
   f.o:
       @(#) EXP v 5.4 1993/11/09 17:40:15 eggert

PS: both ident and what are commands that come with specific centralized source control systems.  If you are using a distributed source control system (like git) the entire concept may not make sense.  For some ideas using git see this thread: Moving from CVS to git: $Id:$ equivalent? though the hash isn't the same as a version number. :)

Business Mirror - The ARMM bill, 'realpolitik' and Bongbong Marcos
By Butch Castillo / Omerta Business Mirror
In my previous column this week ("No stopping ARMM polls," May 17 issue, BusinessMirror), I hazarded the guess that the administration-backed bill to put off the elections in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) to 2013 would fail to get approval in the Senate for a technical reason.
I had gone along with the view of a number of senators that there was simply too little time left for a plenary debate over the bill before the current session adjourns on June 9. Those senators even described the House-approved bill and the Senate bill (HB 4146 and SB 2756) as "dead in the water" or a TKO.
Latest developments, however, have shown that this may not be the case after all, or that I may have spoken too soon.
Malacañang, it seems, has won Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile's support for the bill, and this means Senate approval of the measure by a majority of the coalesced forces in that body is now in the cards.
You can be sure that behind the scenes, the persuasive powers of both Malacañang and the Office of the Senate President would be applied to secure a majority vote for the bill.
That's why it may be a tad too early for those vigorously opposing the bill (mostly the political leaders in Mindanao, including former senator Aquilino "Nene" Pimentel Jr.) to celebrate the demise of the measure, which they even described last week as "dead in the water."
Actually, there are only nine session days left in the current session before its adjournment on June 9. That's a very tight time frame for any piece of legislation, especially the ARMM bill (SB 2756), which has yet to be reported out by the Senate Committee on Local Government, headed by Sen. Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos.
Senator Marcos is still in Marawi City, where he has been holding consultations to get a pulse of the sentiments of the voters in the region. But he was scheduled to submit his report to the plenary by Monday at the earliest, which is cutting it much too close.
But why is approval of the measure still in the cards just the same?
At the exclusive breakfast meeting the other day hosted by this paper in which Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile was our featured guest, he responded to a question I asked on what he thinks would be the fate of the two most controversial bills (reproductive- health [RH] bill and the ARMM postponement bill) now going through the legislative wringer.
His answer: "I am against the RH bill, and I think the Senate will approve the postponement of the elections in the ARMM."
Elaborating on the Senate's position on the ARMM bill, he said that despite the objections from many quarters, the bill would be approved by the Senate to give the administration a chance to carry out its program of reforms in that part of the country.
He said: "It was you who made him president when he promised change and reforms. Let's give him a chance to carry out those reforms in Mindanao."
Besides, he added, the government has postponed ARMM elections at least seven times in the past, "so what harm can be done by one more postponement?"
From his tenor and language, it was clear that, as leader of the Senate, he would be shepherding this bill through the plenary debates until it is finally passed by the majority.
Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano, one of the three minority members of the Senate, gave me what clearly was an informed reading of the implications of Enrile's statements at the BM breakfast forum.
"That means he would be cracking the whip to muster enough votes for the measure. Experience has taught me that when the Senate President cracks the whip, it becomes easy to secure approval of a measure. I guess that's called realpolitik. He only needs 13 senators to obtain a majority vote, including the four Liberal Party senators and Sens. Ping Lacson and Antonio Trillanes IV, plus several majority coalition members."
The young senator recalled that at the Ledac meeting with President Aquino, he had raised a number of "principled objections" to the idea of postponing Muslim Mindanao elections to 2013.
Senator Cayetano said:
"I told the Ledac meeting that if the idea is to institute reforms in the region, could such reforms not be carried out just as well through the officials elected by the region's electorate instead of through the caretaker officials that the administration was planning to appoint? Those pushing this measure could not provide a road map of sorts showing what particular reforms could be possibly undertaken more effectively by a set of appointed officials.
"And if the other intention is to synchronize the regional and national elections by 2013, would it not be more practical and sensible to allow the elections to push through on August 8 as scheduled with the understanding that those to be elected would only have an abbreviated two-year term each."
Senator Cayetano pointed out that whoever gets elected or appointed in the ARMM would be presiding over a budget of more than P13 billion a year, including the national-budget outlay and the foreign aid coming from different countries, including the United States. He did not elaborate on this point, however.
Those who are apposed to the idea of postponing the ARMM polls have several other principled objections, he said. "But the main point is let's not mess around with the aspirations for autonomy or self-governance of our Muslim brothers." So there you are. Realpolitik would be at work in the decision-making process of the Senate. What a big letdown for the antis.
In the face of all this, however, there lingers a naughty thought in my mind.
What if, after his consultations with our Muslim brethren in Marawi and other parts, Senator Marcos emerges convinced that a postponement of the elections in that area would be a very bad idea fraught with political dangers, what would he do? He could always hold in abeyance the committee report, among other things. Obviously, his role in the whole scheme is very crucial.
Would the young and aspiring senator have the courage of his conviction? Just asking, of course.

The latest CANDE version, called CANDE-2013, may be downloaded free of charge from CandeForCulverts.com website. New capabilities and improvements in CANDE-2013, listed below, are provided gratis as a result of industry sponsored developments.
• Corrected a small error in predicting the percentage of plastic penetration in the cross-section of corrugated steel. Specifically, the old plastic-penetration algorithm slightly over-predicted the amount of plastic penetration by a few percentage points when thrust loading was dominant.
• Improved the internal selection criteria for bisecting quadrilateral elements into component triangles to maximize numerical integration accuracy and element robustness. The revision avoids division by zero during static condensation of badly distorted elements.
• Introduced new error messages to alert the user whenever an incorrect name was input for a canned Duncan or Duncan/Selig soil model. Previously, the old program would stop with an ill-defined execution error.
To get the CANDE-2013 package follow the steps below.
1. To begin with, you must have CANDE-2007 with 2011 Update from the TRB website already installed in your computer.
2. Go to home page on CANDE web site and down load the CANDE-2013 package which includes the executable program, installation directions, an updated user manual and an updated theoretical manual.
3. Save the package on your computer, and read the simple installation direction to patch-in the new options.
• To utilize any new option, the input data must be entered directly on the input file (batch mode) because the input GUI menu is not updated.
• Although the new options have been tested for a year or more, they are still viewed as undergoing experimental beta testing – so your feedback is welcomed in the CANDE Forum.
• It is anticipated that CANDE-2013 will eventually become part of another TRB/NCHRP upgrade project wherein the GUI will be updated and extended. CANDE has shown itself to be a great example of industry-government cooperation and technology transfer thanks to the user community.

i don't know how many people remember this guy at ground zero on september 11th. It was right after the towers had come down and fox was interviewing witnesses. He is the guy that described that as he was watching he saw the plane "karine" in to the building "coming through the other side". "then, i watched as both the towers came down due to structural failure, because the fire was just too intense."
if any of you are familiar with the john stewart show "the daily show" on that show named rob riggle.
I believe that is who this man is. A paid actor who in 2001 was unknown.
here is the work-up of this guy. I spent a while on this taking several images from the daily show clips and matching them next to the original footage on 9/11.
...assigned to be the deputy director public affairs, new york city.while assigned to the new york office, capt. Riggle was deployed again to albania (joint task force shining hope). From there he was attached briefly to the 24th marine expeditionary unit special operations capable (24th meu soc) and went to kosovo as part of operation joint guardian.
Capt. Riggle left active duty in the summer of 2000 and immediately joined the marine corps reserves. In the fall of 2001 capt. Riggle was in new york city. His reserve unit, mtu-17, stationed in manhattan, were among the first military responders to the attacks on the world trade centers. Capt. Riggle was activated from sept. 12th through the 30th, 2001, where he worked at ground zero moving rubble by hand in the bucket brigades.
not a surprise to me that the daily show has a mole. Someone should warn them.
seems like the whole play was scripted. We already know the fake phone calls from the planes were.

Near-shoring is a form of off-shoring where the destination country is nearer to the home office then would be the case in the more traditional form of off-shoring.
Off-shoring is defined as the movement of a business process done at a company in one country to the same or another company in another, different country. Almost always work is moved because of a lower cost of operations in the new location.
Near-shoring is "the transfer of business or IT processes to the same or another company in a nearby country, often sharing a border with your own country", where both parties expect to benefit from one or more of the following dimensions of proximity: geographic, temporal (time zone), cultural, linguistic, economic, political, or historical linkages. The service work that is being sourced may be a business process or software development.
Companies that want to go abroad should have a thorough understanding of why they want to do so, because these reasons will be the driver for their consequential decisions: near-shoring or off-shoring, set up an own branch or a company or find a local partner, etc. These topics are further addressed in this chapter.
Off-shoring is the move of a supportive or primary business service outside the home country. In the past decade off-shoring has become equivalent with moving jobs to the Far East, especially in the production of goods and the IT sector. The biggest perceived benefit of moving services to the Far East is a reduction in costs.
Can help to fulfill offset obligations.
Near-shoring is very similar to off-shoring, except for the distance (both in physical distance as well as cultural distance) between the home and destination country.The idea behind near-shoring is that it provides a more sustainable business climate because it offers the same benefits as off-shoring with fewer drawbacks.
Romania is an attractive near-shoring destination due to the high level of technical and language skills of IT workers, its well-developed IT industry and availability of a vast IT labor pool. The ITC market value was €7bn in 2011. Romania has more than 8.000 software and IT service companies, meaning that 23% of the active workforce is employed in science and technology.
Around 9,000 computer science graduates/year, high percentage of manpower in advanced R&D.
solid background they can build on during their career; especially compared to the surrounding countries, Romanians have excellent language skills. All educated persons speak English. If needed it is relatively easy to find people that speak Russian, Italian, Spanish, German and Hungarian; the job market in Romania is lively, so when a vacancy is announced there is usually a lot of response. This enables a company to build up a team of substantial size quickly; the wages in Romania are lower; in 2012 the net wages in Romania were the equivalent of 25-75% of those in the Netherlands, depending on the industry and the employee's qualification.
Romania is part of the EU and NATO. There is a big and active international business community in Romania, which makes it easy o get support. Office space and other local expenses are cheaper than in other countries. Internet connection: Romania ranks top in Europe when it comes to internet speed.
The development technologies that should be used play an important role in the selection criteria for a near-shoring partner. Many companies, particularly the smaller ones, focus on a certain platform and/or development technology, e.g. Microsoft Windows or Linux environments. Your prospective partner should have ample experience with the required technologies and be prepared to work with them. There is a tendency among certain communities (especially the younger IT staff) to always want to use the newest tools and technologies. This can contradict with the interests of the customer, who often is dealing with legacy systems and cannot always keep all its projects updated at all times.
Due to the major influence and training by western companies as well as the western management in the ITC industry, the Romanian ITC workers are significantly more visionary, creative and independent than the average Romanian workers.
Romania's density of software graduates per thousand inhabitants is significantly higher than in USA, it is five times than in Russia and nearly seven times than of India. The right people can ensure success of the project.
cntact us for a proposal.


But Justice Democrats, the controversial operation behind Ocasio-Cortez's win -- the same group that has now been hit with several FEC complaints over how it mixed its money with Cortez's campaign coffers -- is fighting back, and threatening to declare open war within the Democratic party if they aren't allowed to take on existing, moderate candidates.
If all this seems to demonstrate that the coalition between leftist and moderate Democrats is cracking at the seams, that's because it is. Aside from the obvious -- that any Democrat engaged in a House or Senate race in 2020 needs to watch their back, lest they be ousted in a primary by a progressive candidate -- it's clear Soros and other major leftist donors are not waiting around for the Democratic establishment to welcome far-left progressive with open arms.
They're simply going to force recognition of progressive candidates themselves, and bankroll progressive campaigns without regard for traditional Democratic institutions.
There is one flaw in the DCCC Blacklist, and that is constituents. Although Ocasio-Cortez is much beloved by the national far-left, isn't beloved at home in her own district, where her constituents are convinced they've been left behind by a Representative seeking a national -- not a local -- stage.

ridiculous and absurd
Are these words synonym in English?
"I had to wait 3 hours on the line to buy the concert tickets. It's ridiculous!!". I may be wrong, but it seems to me a perfect example of how I have been seeing natives employ this word. If so, do they mean "this is an absurd" or "this is an outrage"?
Please, now suppose a colleague that shows up wearing a tight black leather pants at work. Can I say to him "You look ridiculous (laughable) in this pants!"?

"Gee, he is ridiculous at football." = he is really, really good.
Absurd=something unreal or that makes no sense.
Ridiculous=something worthy of ridicule or scorn.
Does it make sense?;-)

I quite agree with banderas. :up:
'ridiculous(ly)' may in some cases carry the meaning of 'utterly' or 'absolutely', as in:
The restaurant was ridiculously expensive. I don't think we will go there again.
In this context 'ridiculous' suggests something extreme, which seems unbelievable or unreasonable.
The same in 'ridiculously easy' or ridiculously cheap'.
A situation can be absurd, stressing the irrationality of it or pointing out a lack of inconsistency between cause and effect within the situation, a lack of logic. Hence, the situation may be considered 'ridiculous'.
Some of the words I really love is 'preposterous'. However, it is not my intention to cause any confusion here.

Things have been pretty stagnant for the pair lately. In an exclusive interview on Elvis Duran Show, J-Lo revealed why they're taking things so slowly. They haven't picked any venue and their wedding plans are not even considered yet. The World of Dance judge explained how they want to relish the time as an engaged couple.
A post shared by Jennifer Lopez (@jlo) on Mar 30, 2019 at 8:05pm PDT
The 49-year-old singer admitted that her conflicting schedule with Alex could be the reason for the delay. She went on to vaguely hint towards having some doubts too. She said:
'Oh, when do you think?' and things like that but nothing is set in stone, and we're not there yet.

Alex Rodriguez's infidelity rumors might have played a part in this postpone. However, J-Lo's confrontation to it proves otherwise. She is totally unbothered by the allegations and revealed on Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club:
It doesn't matter. I know what truth is. I know who he is. He knows who I am.
A post shared by Jennifer Lopez (@jlo) on Feb 25, 2019 at 7:15pm PST

Memoir of the Life and Religious Labours of Henry Hull. Philadelphia: Friends' Book Store, 1873. Stereotyped edition. Pages 124 - 125.
Stopping at an inn upon the road, I heard of the death of George Washington, the late president of the United States. He was a good example to statesmen and those in office; appearing to have the welfare of the community in view, rather than the honour of men or the profits of office. The day was an unpleasant one for traveling, by reason of the abundance of snow that fell, being more than twelves inches deep, a circumstance very unusual in this country. The Quarterly Meeting as Bush was large, and through Divine condescension proved a good time. Here my companion, Joshua Lord, left me, in order to return home by land with Daniel Haviland, and Samuel Miles agrees to accompany me to Charleston. We had two meetings near Edisto, and then rode into the city and put up at Daniel Latham's where we were kindly entertained. We had a meeting with the few Friends resident there, and those from the north and east who board here during the winter; also one with the inhabitants more generally, both held in the house belonging to Friends. The crying injustice and cruelty of slavery, had frequently engaged my attention during the course of this journey; but never more than while I was in this place, where this oppressed race are very numerous, and are frequently sold at auction like cattle. At one of these sales I was much affected, in hearing a young coloured man pleading his cause. His aged father and mother, and his wife and child, were all mounted upon a state, so that they might be seen by bidders; they being about to be sold. The young man stepped up and stood by them, but was soon ordered down. He said he wanted to be sold with the, - but was told that he could not, as it was a sale to satisfy a mortgage upon the others, in which he was not included. He pleaded with very affecting and moving language, to show how hard it was to be separated form his family; but it was all to no purpose. When he saw that his prayers were unheeded, and that the others would be sold without him, he burst into a flood of tears, and in the anguish of his feelings besought them rather to kill him; for, said he, I had rather die than be separated from my family - upon which he was dragged off the scaffold and driven away. The company went on bidding, apparently as unaffected as though the auctioneer had been selling sheep, while the screams and prayers of the aged parents, and the bereaved wife with her infant in her arms, went up to heaven in behalf of themselves, and especially for the poor young man, who had been so inhumanly torn away form the. Besides these victims to cruel and antichristian avarice, there was a large number more confined in a cellar, which were brought and and sold to different purchasers. Thus it is, that near relatives are often violently separated, never more to see each other in this world!!!

Q: Medicare tax 2013 formula I'm trying to create an Excel formula that will take a number entered into a specific cell (I'll use B6 for ease of reference), and do the following:

If B6 is less than or equal to $200,000, then B6 * 1.45%   AND
  If B6 is greater than $200,000, then (($200,000*1.45%)+(every dollar above
  $200,000 * 2.35%))

For example, if B6 = $225,000 then the first $200,000 would be multiplied by 1.45% and the remaining $25,000 would be multiplied by 2.35%.  (With both calculations added together)

A: =IF(B6<=200000, B6*0.0145, (200000*0.0145) + ((B6-200000)*0.0235))

The structure of the IF formula is basically IF(condition, trueResult, falseResult)
You could also replace the (200000*0.0145) with a constant of 2900, but I included the full calculation for illustration.


We have our own division specialized in the design, calculation, supply, assembly, and disassembly of scaffolding for industry.

Fitch And Kroll Are Happy To Make Mortgage Securitization Fun Again
Bloomberg has a delightful story today about a new JPMorgan RMBS transaction, its first non-agency deal since the crisis. Specifically about this:
The bonds are made riskier by the New York-based bank and other originators of the mortgages offering weaker promises to repurchase misrepresented loans than those on similar deals, Fitch Ratings said today in an e-mailed report. Lenders and bond sponsors have been seeking to trim potential liabilities in such deals as the market revives after suffering billions of dollars of losses from debt sold before the collapse in home prices.
The value of the so-called representations and warranties in the JPMorgan transaction is "significantly diluted by qualifying and conditional language that substantially reduces lender loan breach liability and the inclusion of sunsets for a number of provisions including fraud," New York-based Fitch analysts including Roelof Slump wrote in the presale report.
So naturally the deal is limited to an Aa rating, as it would be at Moody's based on those sort of rep and warranty weaknesses, right? Errr not so much:
The classes of the deal expected to receive top credit ratings carried loss buffers of 7.4 percent as Fitch said it adjusted its analysis to reflect the greater investor dangers created by the weaker contracts, according to the report.
So 92.6% of the deal will be AAA rated at Fitch and Kroll, the other rating agency on the deal. Here's the cap structure from Kroll's report:
The rep and warranty provisions are pleasingly mechanical: per the Kroll report, a third-party reviewer, PentAlpha, will review certain loans (those that are 120 days delinquent, where the servcer stops making advances, or that liquidate at a loss), test certain reps and warranties depending on the reason for review, and
determine, in its sole judgment, whether the facts giving rise to a R&W breach materially increased the loan's credit risk, resulted or are expected to result in a material increased loss in connection with a loan's liquidation, or materially impaired the Issuer's ability to enforce payment obligations on the loan, in each case with consideration given to whether the loan nevertheless complied with underwriting guidelines, whether the loan would have been similarly at risk without the defects, and whether certain life events (including the death, disability, life-threatening illness, divorce, or loss of job of the borrower) were the cause of the actual or projected loss. ... The specificity of the review process provides a straightforward and transparent mechanism for breach reviews. By its nature, however, it also limits the scope of the review process such that potential breaches may be less likely to be discovered than under a less prescribed process.
Also the reps sunset after 3-5 years.
We talked a little bit about how Moody's came to the - fairly reasonable - conclusion that things like this drastically reduce JPMorgan's risk of buying back these loans. Or, put another way, that they drastically increase the risk that RMBS buyers are buying loans based on fake credit scores, made-up incomes, fraudulent appraisals, etc. Got a mortgage based on a fraudulent appraisal, lost your job, and defaulted? Well, wasn't that life event - the job loss - the cause of the loss? Then you're off the hook for the fraudulent appraisal. Got your 790 FICO included in the pool's 769 weighted average FICO, when it was really a 720? That's okay - as long as a 720 FICO satisfied the underwriting requirements, it doesn't matter that it was mis-reported.
So this is all a horrible fraud! Nah, not really. This is a pool of jumbo loans to high-credit-quality borrowers, almost half of them originated by JPMorgan itself, all of them independently reviewed, with average/max LTV of 65% and 80%. That parade of fraudulent underwriting horribles I laid out in the last paragraph seems pretty unlikely. You can see why Kroll and Fitch don't care that much.
And you can see why JPMorgan is pushing on the reps and warranties with this pool. You sound silly if you get too worried about them, so you don't. Do a few of these, and the next subprime RMBS securitization anyone does, in like 2026 or whatever,1 will have the same documentation. "It's just market standard," they'll say.2
This is a good deal for the banks, who after all are selling these mortgages because they want to pass on the credit risk - they don't want them lingering around, as quasi-covered-bond putback claims, if any trouble hits. That's not evil or fraud or whatever, necessarily: a main goal in selling off these mortgages is gaining certainty that they won't come back, and investing up-front in third-party reviews and significant credit enhancement and so forth is a great trade-off in exchange for getting more of that certainty.
And it's a good deal for Fitch and Kroll, for the sort of obvious reason that they'll give this deal AAA ratings, and get paid for it. It's not so hot for Moody's, who, according to their own bluster, won't. That's a risky position for Moody's to take: their bluster, presumably, was meant to persuade investors that they were right, and that no one should treat a mortgage-backed security as AAA with weak reps and warranties. Perhaps they'll win, and investors won't be that into deals rated mainly by Fitch and Kroll. But if they lose - if investors shrug and these terms become market standard - then Moody's is frozen out of a lot of deals.
Of course Moody's could change its mind. But since the DOJ's S&P lawsuit, that seems a lot harder. Remember that the DOJ accused S&P of, essentially, changing its ratings criteria so they'd be more in line with Moody's, for competitive reasons. Moody's - who were more aggressive to begin with - avoided trouble.
For ratings agencies, it's better to be wrong first: you just look dumb. Moving toward other people's wrong answers - or, never mind wrong, just moving toward more liberal bestowals of Aaa ratings - is what gets you in trouble with the Justice Department. Moody's has staked out its Aa maximum for these sorts of deals, and now it's kind of stuck there.
JPMorgan to Sell Mortgage Debt With Weaker Repurchase Rules [Bloomberg]
1.No, obvs, short memories, in like September.
2.And the fact that here it worked because it was traded off against other things - high credit quality, low LTVs, etc. - won't mean much. Documentation terms are hard to quantify and so hard to trade off: once it's market standard, it's standard everywhere, even in places where it was never meant to go.

Fitch Has Something To Say About Fudgie
"Manageable" but "raises questions." Fitch Ratings has downgraded JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s (JPM) Long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) to 'A+' from 'AA-' and its Short-term IDR to 'F1' from 'F1+'. Fitch has placed all parent and subsidiary long-term ratings on Rating Watch Negative. Fitch has also downgraded JPM's viability rating (VR) to 'a+' from 'aa-' and placed it on Rating Watch Negative. In addition, Fitch affirmed JPM's '1' support rating and 'A' support rating floor. The rating actions follow JPM's disclosure yesterday of a $2 billion trading loss on its synthetic credit positions in its Chief Investment Office (CIO). The positions were intended to hedge JPM's overall credit exposure, particularly during periods of credit stress. Fitch views the size of loss as manageable. That said, the magnitude of the loss and ongoing nature of these positions implies a lack of liquidity. It also raises questions regarding JPM's risk appetite, risk management framework, practices and oversight; all key credit factors. Fitch believes the potential reputational risk and risk governance issues raised at JPM are no longer consistent with an 'AA-' rating. Fitch Cuts JPMorgan Ratings [Reuters]

Romania: Main Gate of Sibiu Great Synagogue restored, thanks to German government funding. It follows other German-funded maintenance work there in 2019
Posted in: Restoration projects, Synagogues
Tagged: Romania
(JHE) — The Great Synagogue in Sibiu, Romania, has a newly restored main gate, thanks to the financial support of the German Foreign Ministry, which had also financed earlier maintenance and renovation work there. Work was carried out by itinerant artisans who come annually to Sibiu.

"With the financial support of the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the active involvement of 'traveling journeymen,' the main gate [of the synagogue] could be saved and is now shining in new glory," the German Consulate in Sibiu stated in a press release delivered to local media in December. The repair work was completed just before Hanukkah, and consul Hans Tischler handed over a 30-cm key to the Jewish community.
In summer 2019 the Ministry (through the Consulate in Sibiu), had sponsored other maintenance work at the Great Synagogue, also carried out by traveling artisans, including the cleaning of the attic and the repair of the synagogue's doors. A ceremony in September 2019, just before Rosh Hashanah, celebrated the completion of this work and the 120th anniversary of the synagogue's construction.
In statements issued on the occasion of both restoration projects, the Consulate said it welcomed "the religious diversity as it is lived in Transylvania and continues to advocate peaceful coexistence and lively exchange between the various religious and ethnic groups in town and country, and actively supports this coexistence through actions like these. "
Sibiu is located in central Romania, in the historic region of Transylvania, and was the most important of the "Siebenburgen," the seven fortress towns in Transylvania settled by ethnic German Saxons in the 12th century. It was the capital of Transylvania for parts of the 18th and 19th centuries. The town is known as Nagyszeben in Hungarian and Hermannstadt in German.

The Great Synagogue, listed as a historical monument, was designed for the orthodox community in an eclectic, neo-romanesque style by the architect Ferenc Szalay and built in 1899. It has a red-brick and concrete facade, topped by the tablets of the Ten Commandments. The sanctuary, surrounded by arcaded women's galleries on the three sides, is richly decorated with elegant arches, a coffered ceiling, and intricate carving and inlay. The bimah stands in the center of the hall; the stately Ark is situated in a recess in the blue-painted eastern wall.
A formal Jewish community was established in Sibiu after emancipation in the mid-19th century. The city's Jews survived the Holocaust, but after the war, most emigrated to Israel and elsewhere. Today, the Great Synagogue is kept as such for its tiny Jewish community, which numbers around 25 member and uses a small prayer room. There is also a so-called "Small Synagogue," probably built in the 1920s, which belonged to the Hasidic community and now is used as a workshop. Sibiu has two Jewish cemeteries, both located in the city's outskirts.
In November 2019, we published an insightful Have Your Say personal essay by Jewish educator Anda Reuben entitled, "Jewish Sibiu: An Almost Forgotten Story," in which Anda reported on developing a Jewish heritage tour to put the story of the city's rich Jewish past back on the map, and back into the public's consciousness.

Q: Play Framework Templates - Iterating over a list issue I'm having an issue with iterating over a List that is passed to a Play Framework Template. I essentially have a query that fetches from a many-to-many association, and I want to render the parent key once and the associated keys several times.
Below is the actual code I'm using:
Using Slick, Scala and Play 2.0, I have the following table schema:
object Recipes extends Table[(Long, String, String)]("RECIPES") {
  def id = column[Long]("REC_ID", O.PrimaryKey, O.AutoInc)
  def cuisine = column[String]("CUISINE")
  def instructions = column[String]("INSTRUCTIONS")
  def * = id ~ cuisine ~ instructions
}

object Ingredients extends Table[(Long, String, String)]("INGREDIENTS") {
  def id = column[Long]("ID", O.PrimaryKey, O.AutoInc)
  def brand = column[String]("BRAND")
  def name = column[String]("NAME")
  def * = id ~ brand ~ name
}

object RecipeIngredient extends Table[(Long, Long, Long, Int, String)]("REC_ING") {
  def id = column[Long]("ID", O.PrimaryKey, O.AutoInc)

  def recID = column[Long]("REC_ID")
  def ingID = column[Long]("ING_ID")
  def quantity = column[Int]("QUANTITY")
  def units = column[String]("UNITS")
  def * = id ~ recID ~ ingID ~ quantity ~ units
  def recipe = foreignKey("REC_FK", recID, Recipes)(_.id)
  def ingredient = foreignKey("ING_FK", ingID, Ingredients)(_.id)
}

I'm using Slick to generate the following query within a controller, and passing q.list to a view. The idea is to pass and render the recipe with ID 1 and all of it's associated ingredients:
val recID = 1.longValue() // Just a test to get the Recipe with ID === 1
val q = for {
    r <- Recipes if r.id === recID
    ri <- RecipeIngredient if ri.recID === recID
i <-Ingredients if i.id === ri.ingID
} yield (r.id, r.cuisine, r.instructions, ri.quantity, ri.units, i.brand, i.name)

My view is as follows:
@(message: String, result: List[(Long, String, String, Int, String, String, String)])

@main("Site name") {

    @for((id, cuisine,instructions, quantity, units, brand, name) <- result) {

--Recipe--

      RecID: @id

      Cuisine: @cuisine

      Instructions: @instructions

--Ingredients--

      Ingredient: @quantity @units of @brand @name

  }

}

This is all well and good, but I get an output as follows:
--Recipe--
RecID: 1
Cuisine: Chinese
Instructions: Instructions here..

--Ingredients--
Ingredient: 3 cloves of Generic Ginger

--Recipe--
RecID: 1
Cuisine: Chinese
Instructions: Instructions here..

--Ingredients--
Ingredient: 3 slices of Generic Cucumber

As you can see, the Recipe itself is repeated twice. What I ultimately want is the Recipe printed once, and the list of associated ingredients interated on and displayed after that (there may be multiple ingredients).
Any ideas as to how to achieve this?

A: In terms of best practice / a more elegant way to do this, you should look at creating a Recipe case class to hold all the info for your recipe; this will make your code a little cleaner and easier to work with:
case class Recipe(val id: Long, val cuisine: String, val instructions: String, val quantity: Int, val units: String, val brand: String, val name: String)

Note: all the fields are explicitly labeled as vals for ease of use when I access the fields in the view.
You can then transform your queries into an object (from scala slick query return value)
def getRecipe(recID: Long): Option[Recipe] = {
  val q = for {
    r <- Recipes if r.id === recID
    ri <- RecipeIngredient if ri.recID === recID
    i <-Ingredients if i.id === ri.ingID
  } yield (r.id, r.cuisine, r.instructions, ri.quantity, ri.units, i.brand, i.name)
  q.firstOption map { case (id, cui, ins, qua, uni, bra, na) => Recipe(id, cui, ins, qua, uni, bra, na) }
}

You can then pass this to your view:
@(message: String, recipe: Recipe)

@main("Site name") {

@recipe match {
  case r:Some(Recipe) => {

--Recipe--

    RecID: @r.id

    Cuisine: @r.cuisine

    Instructions: @r.instructions

--Ingredients--

    Ingredient: @r.quantity @r.units of @r.brand @r.name

  }
  case None => {

No Recipe

  }
}
}

You can do some different things, like make a companion object class for the Recipe case class, get rid of the Option[Recipe] being passed to your view, etc.
This will also make it easier should you want to select multiple recipes and pass them in a List[Recipe] to a view which you could then iterate over.
Hope this helps.

A: I worked out a way to solve this, though it seems ultra hacky so I'm still keen on understanding the best practice, elegant way to do this.
My solution -
By changing the view to:
@main("Site name") {

// This is a hacky way to just show the Recipe components once
@for((item, index) <- result.zipWithIndex) {
@if(index == 0) {

---Recipe---

      RecID: @item._1

      Cuisine: @item._2

      Instructions: @item._3

---Ingredients---

    }
}

// And now we list all ingredients..
    @for((id, cuisine,instructions, quantity, units, brand, name) <- result) {

      Ingredient: @quantity @units of @brand @name

  }

}

..I get the output that I want:
---Recipe---
RecID: 1
Cuisine: Chinese
Instructions: Instructions here

---Ingredients---
Ingredient: 3 cloves of Generic Ginger
Ingredient: 3 slices of Generic Cucumber

Surely there's a more readable way to do this though??

Cerbera Gallery and The Nevica Project Present: "Ceramic Salon"
Cerbera Gallery and The Nevica Project are traveling to Minneapolis, March 26-30, for NCECA's 53rd annual conference, bringing over 50 artists' work to exhibit in their pop-up, "Ceramic Salon", located at Covet Consign and Design.
Artist's in "Ceramic Salon" will have the unique opportunity of showcasing their work in a city with a rich history in the ceramic arts. Since the 1960s, the Twin Cities region has played a pivotal role in shaping a renaissance in studio pottery and craft as cultural forces. Adaptation of Mingei-inspired ideals within the American heartland drove a vision of artfulness in daily life.
The National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA) is a dynamic, 501(c)3 organization that engages and sustains a community for ceramic art, teaching and learning. NCECA expands knowledge within the field of ceramics, by working to develop the next generation of ceramic artists and enthusiasts through programing that impacts professional artists, K-12 schools, community centers, universities, museums, galleries, businesses, organizations, collectors and enthusiasts of ceramic art.
NCECA's annual conference features dozens of presenters, demonstrations, networking opportunities and exhibitions over three and a half days each spring, each year in a different US city.
NCECA has been a unique artists-run organization since its inception. Dedicated individuals have made NCECA what it is today—a vital, significant, fiscally-solvent organization that is a model of success to other arts organizations.
For all press inquires about NCECA 2019, contact Philipp Eirich or Kennedy Burgess at info@cerberagallery.com. We encourage local museums and art groups interested in private tours at our permanent, KCMO location to book dates in advance since our current exhibition will only be on view until the end of March.
Thu, Fri from 1-6pm and Sat from 10am-6pm.


As we take our first steps into 2013, I am thinking back on the oh-so-many years ago when I learned my ABCs. At first I used my tiny finger to trace each letter on the page as I marveled at forming baby words. Then one day, a miracle! I no longer needed my finger as a pointer. Those ABCs gave me the key to freedom and possibility.
All these years later, those 26 letters led me to read Archetypes, the latest book from best-selling author Carolyn Myss. In it she writes: "we are wired to 'speak archetypes' just as surely as we are wired to crawl, walk and communicate…the language of archetypes is the universal language of the human soul." This opened up to me a whole new language that each day brings connections and new insights of who I truly am, who we all are. Like my early discovery of the alphabet, this new knowledge has brought me more freedom, fun, and purpose than I could possibly have imagined.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." You might be a dedicated vegan, or an attorney, a politician, environmentalist, advocate who stands up for the elderly, children, or shelter animals.
You may have recognized this archetype in yourself in grammar school—or just today!
Do you have any friends who fit an Advocate archetype?
First, Teaching Gardens. Founded by my BFF Kelly Meyer. I have known Kelly since the fifth grade and she has always been an Advocate. With Teaching Gardens, now adopted by The American Heart Organization, Kelly started as a parent concerned about children's health, particularly obesity, who decided to do something about it. Teaching Gardens brings real live "garden labs" into schools across the country so children can grow their own food and learn about nutrition.
Then there is The Joyful Heart Foundation founded by Mariska Hargitay. In playing her part in Law and Order Special Victims Unit, Mariska became keenly aware of the real-life issues of assault victims; became a crisis counselor and then an advocate. Joyful Heart empowers survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and abuse.
Another Advocate pair: Bob and Lee Woodruff of ReMIND. Bob began as an attorney and became a news journalist. While on assignment in Iraq, he sustained head injuries that left him in a critical condition from which he, remarkably, recovered. ReMIND, their foundation, provides resources and support on all levels to the "hidden" injuries of service members when they return to their communities.
Be clear that you don't need to start a foundation to be an Advocate. It does not "count more" if you are an advocating for one person or one million; if you do so in the media or in your own home.
Truth is, advocacy begins at home, literally. In the home and at the core of who you are. It begins with being an Advocate for your faith, yourself, and those you love. And never letting go.
Cristina Carlino is the founder of Archetypes, Inc. Each week she will reveal a new letter of the Alphabet of Archetypes. Stop back often to discover aspects of yourself you didn't know existed!


Natalia, I would be hesitant to release you from the restraints. Truth hurts.
It is seriously safe!!? I can't imagine myself in this position more than 30 s! Looks too painful.
Actually, I can do it if only the wrists ate cuffed, but with elbows locked too, horrible to imagine.
I love every restraints that free the body front!

Climate Change Measure Won't Place Economy at Global Disadvantage
Pelosi says legislation won't be pushed until consensus reached.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., pledged Thursday that any climate change measure the House passes this year won't overly burden utility ratepayers or businesses. During her weekly news conference, Pelosi also made clear that she will not push climate change legislation until Democrats reach a consensus on their approach, which could take months, at best.
Pelosi's comments came just two days after leaders of the Energy and Commerce Committee announced a plan that would cap emissions of greenhouse gases, distribute pollution "allowances" and set up a trading system for those credits. But some Ways and Means Committee Democrats favor imposing a tax on carbon dioxide emissions rather than a cap-and-trade approach.
Pelosi said she wanted to be sure that whatever the House passes does not place the U.S. economy at a competitive disadvantage in the global economy. Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, made it clear that Democrats can expect no help from Republicans. He promised no compromise.
"In the middle of a recession," Boehner said, "You can't throw a wet blanket on the economy. You will smother it."


Newly promoted German Bundesliga side Hannover 96 have extended the contract of Fabian Senninger which was due to expire on the 30th of this month by a further two years, meaning he is tied to the club till the summer of 2020.
However he will spend next season on loan to third division side Meppen a move which according to the manager of Hannover 96 Horst Heldt will help him develop into a first team player for the Bundesliga side.
Signed from Nike Academy last year, he went on to make 28 appearances for the U23 of the Bundesliga side last season with a goal and two assists to his name, a development which Heldst says he hope he maintains at Meppen.
" For Fabian's development, the move to a third division side is the right step, because the games are considerably higher in quality than the regional league that he played last season. The intensity of the games with help increase his performances level", the coach said.
Eligible for Nigeria and Germany, the recently returned 21 year old who is yet to be capped by any of the country he is Eligible for has voiced his desires to represent Nigeria ahead of Germany.

Right now the "reporting only" role can run reports on everyone.
This is a problem because it prevents limited control in a large environment. If I want our account manager to be able to run productivity reports on his users that he manage, he will be able to run reports on VP's as well. Same with the warehouse manager, and the HR, and purchasing etc.... There should be the ability to control / filter reports allowed to be run based upon sub classes of the "report only" role.

Q: Network Analysis problem
I am not able to get the concept of how to calculate the output voltage.
What I did was- I assumed the network N as such-

simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab
Now added two networks-

So if I assume R2/(R1+R2)=x. Then Vo=x*(V1+V2)/2.
Accordingly from the question the value of x is 3.Thus the answer of Ques 1 is 0 and the answer of ques 2 is 3.
Is my analysis right?
If possible can you point out to me any reading material for these kind of problems.

A: Because the networks are linear you can apply the superposition theorem. Let each network have an output x to an input of 1V. The output to an arbitrary input is then:
$$V_o = V_i x$$
Applying the superposition theorem for the two sources:
$$V = ( V_1 + V_2 ) x$$
Taking into account that there are no internal sources in the networks.
For the input of 1V and 3V one gets
$$4x = 6 \rightarrow x = 1.5$$
You can then calculate the voltages.

A: I got this right on the second attempt

Of course I made a mistake in the ending, I promise I will transpose all this to mathjax.
It seems that:
$$
V_u = \frac{\alpha}{2}(V_1+V_2)
$$
So:
$$
\alpha = 2\frac{V_u}{V_1+V_2}=2\frac{6}{4}=3
$$
Finally:
$$
\text{Q1: } V_u = 0V\\
\text{Q2: } V_u = 3V
$$


We prove the Pfaffian Sign Theorem for the dimer model on a triangular lattice embedded in the torus. More specifically, we prove that the Pfaffian of the Kasteleyn periodic-periodic matrix is negative, while the Pfaffians of the Kasteleyn periodic-antiperiodic, antiperiodic-periodic, and antiperiodic-antiperiodic matrices are all positive. The proof is based on the Kasteleyn identities and on small weight expansions. As an application, we obtain an asymptotic behavior of the dimer model partition function with an exponentially small error term.

You'll never look at a purring, domestic kitty the same way after you've seen "The Secret Life of Cats." Behind that cute little face and playful attitude is a passionless, efficient killer. The jungle lives inside your cat just as it does the 600 pound Bengal tiger. They both move in the same silent, predatory way. The claws of the tiger are no sharper than those of that sweet little creature who listens to your baby talk and plays with your finger. The shape of the teeth in a leopard match the fangs of a domestic cat. Sweet little Socks has the same instincts and the same natural predatory nature as the jaguar.
This documentary will show you the abilities Mother Nature gave your cat. They can run almost thirty miles an hour. Their night-vision, smell and scent abilities rival those of any predator in the world. They can jump the equivalent of thirty feet straight up and have an extraordinary ability to balance themselves on the ground and in the air. They leap, grab and kill as easily as you read the morning newspaper.
We've never dominated the cat. It's the only animal who chose humans as their domestication partner rather than the other way around. They can't be trained. They won't be controlled. They love their human partners, but only on their terms. This film will show you how cats got in trouble during the Middle Ages. Cats lack cowering servitude. They face unwanted humans with calm disdain. It's easy to see why people in that era believed cats were the companions of witches and burned some of them at the stake along with their owners.
Maybe the reason for the cat's independence comes from their ability to live on their own. "The Secret Life of Cats" will show you what happens to areas where feral cats run loose. In the United States, they've hunted 33 species to extinction. The Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute considers cats in the wild to be the greatest threat to U.S. wildlife; responsible for the deaths of up to 3.7 billion birds and 20.7 billion mammals every year.
Watch the documentary and learn about the hidden side of that wonderful little ball of fur on your lap.
