Q: Difference between the following codes in array Reversal in C I came across a different style of accessing indexes of array on a discussion forum. The following is the pre given code to which we had to write array reversal logic.
 #include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
    int num, *arr, i;
    scanf("%d", &num);
    arr = (int*) malloc(num * sizeof(int));
    for(i = 0; i < num; i++) {
        scanf("%d", arr + i);
    }

    /* Write the logic to reverse the array. */

    for(i = 0; i < num; i++)
        printf("%d ", *(arr + i));
    return 0;
}

My logic to reverse array
/* Write the logic to reverse the array. */
for(i = 0; i < num/2; i++) {
        int  temp;
        temp=arr[i];
        arr[i] = arr[num-(i+1)];
        arr[num-(i+1)]=temp;
        }

Logic I saw in discussion section and was not able to quite understand
/* Write the logic to reverse the array. */
    int temp;
    for (i = 0; i < num / 2; i++) {
        temp = (int) *(arr + num - i - 1);
        *(arr + num - i - 1) = *(arr + i);
        *(arr + i) = temp;
    }

**Could you please explain the second logic and how is it better than my logic.

A:
how is it better than my logic

From "logical" point of view, it's equal.

Could you please explain the second logic

A statement a[b] is exactly equivalent to *(a + b). The second code snippet is exactly equivalent:
int temp;
for (i = 0; i < num / 2; i++) {
    temp = (int)arr[num - i - 1];
    arr[num - i - 1] = arr[i];
    arr[i] = temp;
}

The superflous cast to int is just doing nothing and can be removed. Because - i - 1 is eqaul to: - (i-1), we can:
int temp;
for (i = 0; i < num / 2; i++) {
    temp = arr[num - (i + 1)];
    arr[num - (i + 1)] = arr[i];
    arr[i] = temp;
}

which is just equivalent (except for some corner cases, when overflows would happen).
Then the order of elements used differs. You an switch two elements by doing:
int temp = a;
a = b;
b = temp;

or by
int temp = b;
b = a;
a = temp;

Which is exactly equivalent, just your codes starts switching with arr[i] and the code presented starts switching with arr[num - (i + 1)].

A: Hint: arr[i] is equal to *(arr + i)
so arr[num-i-1] is equal to *(arr + num - i - 1)
your code is almost the same as the second

A: If you want to avoid indexes:
int *reverse(int *arr, size_t size)
{
    int *end, *saved = arr;
    if(arr && size > 1)
    {
        end = arr + size - 1;
        while(end > arr)
        {
            int tmp = *arr;
            *arr++ = *end;
            *end-- = tmp;
        }
    }
    return saved;
}

Always use functions for this kind of tasks.

The Belgium Mennonite Mission (Mennonite Church) was founded in 1950 by the Mennonite Board of Missions and Charities. In 1958 there was one missionary couple at work, with two congregations (Brussels and Bourgeois-Rixensart), three outposts, and a total of 24 members. The congregations belonged to the Conference of Evangelical Churches of French-Speaking Countries. Mission headquarters were at Ohain.

1847 · Hollywood Cemetery Established
Hollywood Cemetery was established in 1847 in Richmond Virginia. This is where Presidents James Monroe and John Tyler are buried. During the Civil War it became the largest military interments and a large section dedicated to military burials. Jefferson Davis a well known Confederate is also buried here. Many other notable people are also buried here.
Haston
English: according to Reaney, a habitational name from Haston in Shropshire, which is possibly named with Old English hēafod 'head' + stān 'stone'. However, the present-day concentration of the name in Scotland suggests that in some cases at least it could perhaps be from one of the places mentioned at Hairston .

Now that it is all clear again to all what the First Amendment is and isn't (oh and it isn't absolute in time and space: when I stand under your bedroom window at 2AM with a bullhorn and "exercise free speech", the police is totally in their rights to drag me off if I don't stop), a couple of serious legal questions about the US system.
First: is it possible, in the context of a defamation suit like this, that claimants ask the court to forbid defendant from repeating the same defaming statements that are the subject of the suit?
With "possible", I mean: does the law allow this in principle, and it has at least once in legal history been granted.
With "forbid" I mean: either in principle rule that a repeat of the statements will also be defamatory, or already explicitly set a monetary penalty so it would save the burden of a new lawsuit.
Second: Is it possible to pre-emptively forbid someone to publish defamatory statements? Scenario: defendant is preparing a book, and the claimant gets wind of that and gets hold of (relevant parts of) the draft at the publisher's. Claimant files suit attempting to forbid publication of the book in its current form.
My guess is that's gonna be the angle he's gonna try and argue, that all he's doing is "repeating" rumors and that makes it "news."
That's another major difference. When The Onion uses a real person in its stories, it's always someone famous, which puts them in the "public person" arena when it comes to defamation. Otherwise, they only refer to the generic "Local Man" with their non-specific bits of satire.
Jones went after a specific group of private individuals. Having been the victim of a crime cannot reasonably lead to the conclusion that they are public persons for the purposes of defamation, so he'll be facing much stricter standards than The Onion would face in such a lawsuit.
The legal process is the best method we have for determine if defamation occurred. It is a better world to not be defamed rather than defamed and compensated. A judgement that he did not defame them is a better indicator that they were not defamed than a judgement that he did.

The highlighted sentance may be the stupidest statement I have ever read.
Do you disagree with it?
It's not a matter of agreeing or disagreeing.
Of course not being found guilty is a better sign of not being guilty than being found guilty.
But that has no bearing on why you would prefer that he isn't found guilty.
You simply haven't answered the question.
I did. Not being defamed is better than being defamed and compensated. If a fair process sides with him, than it is less likely the families were defamed.
but if they were indeed defamed...........?
surely him being found guilty and having to compensate them would be a fair process also correct? or is what you are trying to allude without saying it is that it would not be?
(1) The finding that Jones's statements are factually true. This would be an unpleasant finding in that they almost certainly are not true, and if they were we would be living in a dystopian nightmare.
(2) The finding that Jones never made any such statements. This would be a bizarre finding given that the statements are well documented.
(3) The finding that the statements, though untrue, are not defamatory. This would be an unpleasant finding because it would in effect mean that anybody could be accused of anything out of simple malice, and would have no recourse in law.
So, despite the general principle that it's preferable that no crime has been committed, in this specific instance I disagree very strongly with it. I hope Jones loses because the facts of the case seem clearly established in this instance, and in general it is a better world if principles of justice are upheld than if they are ignored.
If they were defamed they should be compensated. If they were not, then they should not be. The results of a trial is probably our best predictor if defamation occurred. Therefore I hope they are found to not have been defamed. Therefore I hope Jones wins.
But you maybe didnt describe defamation. You said they are upset. You didn't say they suffered damages.my understanding is that simple hurt feelings are not defamation.
you keep dancing around what has been asked. Are you saying that if they were defamed, that the results of a trial indicating so would not be a best predictor?
you only use the phrase - The results of a trial is probably our best predictor if defamation occurred - only when describing the win you want. not the loss that is also possible.
Being accused of a crime and losing standing in the community is a damage. Mental distress is a damage. There's a threshold, and the job of the court is to determine what that threshold is, but in this instance my personal opinion is that it's been met and that recompense should be sought.
In general, we're allowed to use context to inform judgements. I realise you disagree with that principle, but let's not let this thread be derailed into yet another discussion of that.
If they were defamed, it seems like a trial verdict that they were defamed would be more likely.
You didn't say they lost standing in the community. I don't know if mental distress without loss of standing is damages for defamation.
If they were defamed, it seems like a trial verdict that they were defamed would be more likely preferable.
Do you think it is equally likely or less likely?
I think more likely is accurate.
You didn't say they lost standing in the community.
It should be obvious. They've been accused of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
It isn't obvious. I have no idea the status of their standing in their community. The community may have rallied around them because of jones's garbage statements.
I go in for a medical test. I want the results to be accurate. I hope they are negative.
No one thinks I want the results to be negative regardless if I have an illness or not. I'm also not taking the test necessarily with the presumption that i don't have the illness.

Jesus Christ down the hole we go again.
but we are not talking about you and a mythical medical test.
Are you a Sandy Hook truther or something? You're literally defending Alex Jones. One of the biggest scam artists and ******** that's walking on this planet in the past 20 years.
BTC makes a fundamental mistake: he pretends that a court's decision can alter historical facts.
What Jones is accuser of happened in the past, and no verdict will ever change that. The pain and damage inflicted on the victins (if any) was inflicted in the past, and no verdict can ever uninflict it.
The only thing that can change is people's OPINION about whether or not the deed crosses the applicable legal thresholds. Indeed, these thresholds may vary in the future (some things that used to be crimes now are considered rights).
We know at least some of the historical facts. Enough to form a judgement, perhaps assess probabilities. No court decision is necessary.
Now Bob prefers a not-guilty finding, believing that such a finding would lower the probability that Jones is criminally or civilly liable below a threshold of significance, but that is an unsure bet, and betrays a lack of understanding of how Bayesian inference works. If Jones us, in fact, guilty then a not-guilty verdict is most definitely not preferable, because it cannot possibly change the historical fact - it would add a miscarriage of justice on top of the damages already incurred.
Not using information already recorded in history to form judgement is the opposite of skeptical and enlightened. It's plain dumb.
I disagree that it is enough to form a judgement.
ETA: just like the medical test, while I have some evidence that the test will come back positive, I hope it is negative.

I'm the opposite. It is probably more than likely he committed defamation.
You conveniently ignore almost the entirety of my post, to form a reply that is stupid and most obviously FALSE on its face. Of course any non-zero amount of information, whether reliable or not, is enough to form a judgement.
Let me clarify. I don't think we should be going around forming and sharing pointless judgements with little information.
Last edited by BobTheCoward; 20th April 2018 at 09:06 AM.
Your expression of hope that Jones wins would appear to fall solidly into this category.
Arguments by analogy are as worthless as judgements without context.
Then remove the analogy. Hoping a finding that no one was defamed in a process available to determine if someone was defamed is not a judgement that a person wasn't defamed. It is independent of any judgement if a person was defamed or not.

This is an odd place for this thread to be located. It's not a conspiracy that the parents are suing Alex Jones.


This lake is located in King County, Washington, The United States bordered by Seattle on the west, Bellevue and Kirkland on the east, the second largest natural lake in the state of Washington. It has been named after George Washington , the first President of the United States since 1854. The water of Lake Washington is from 2 main rivers, the Sammamish River and the Cedar River. Apart from them, there are numerous small creeks and rivers which are the sources of Lake Washington's water.
The lake gives a lot of sport fishing opportunities.

Moreover,in July each year, each school of salmon flows into the lake and joins them. That is a good time to take your rod and start an enjoyable trip, but you also can come and fish every time because it is open for fishing all year.
For bait, the shop keepers will give you the best choice about this. If you want to go far for fishing, you can rent a boat there. Sometimes," go fishing" does not mean someone want to get fish, but they want to find somewwhat tranquil and peaceful to hide themselves from busy life or hard working days. Blue and clean water along with its still surface makes Lake Washington the ideal place for you and your family to relax after tired days. Besides, a lot of tall green trees surround the lake, which helps you enjoy atmosphere very cool and fresh as well as have a chance to get closed to nature. Along Lake Washington's shoreline toward the Eastside downtown is Kirkland city with restaurants, art galleries, a 400 seat performing arts center, public parks, including beaches, and a collection of public art, primarily bronze sculptures.
if far from The Lake Washington, visitors can book rooms in hotels adjacent to it in advance in order to make your trip more comfortable. For this aspect, do not worry, there is always available and various for you to choose because the choice of accommodation near Lake Washington greatly varies from luxurious hotels to affordable guesthouses.

The Labor Department said Friday that the unemployment rate remained 3.7 percent, nearly a five-decade low, for the third straight month. Average hourly pay rose 3.1 percent from a year ago, matching the previous month's figure, which was the best since 2009.
On a seasonally adjusted basis, for hire trucking gained 4,500 jobs; on a not seasonally adjusted basis, the industry lost 1,200 jobs.
The ongoing job gains are pushing down unemployment rates to historically low levels for a variety of groups. The unemployment rate for men aged 20 and above fell last month to 3.3 percent, the lowest in 18 years. And the rate for Americans with just high school diplomas dropped to 3.5 percent, the lowest since December 2000. The African-American jobless rate declined to 5.9 percent, matching May's figure as the lowest on record.


Save the script on your hard-drive (in a folder where you can find it easily).
In Photoshop, create an Action, and while it's recording, go to File->Scripts->Browse and select the script you just saved. Stop recording, and voila!
To execute the script, simply 'play' the Action. At this point it would be a good idea to choose a shortcut key (e.g.: F2, F3…) to quickly access the script.
seithFlip: Flips the current level horizontally. If the level is in a group, it will also flip all the other layers in the group without you having to manually select them. A real time-saver in my work flow!
seithSymetrize: Let's say you've worked on one side of a texture and you want to mirror it across the vertical axis. You would normally have to first select precisely half of the layer, then copy and paste your selection and finally manually transform it (scale it, actually) to the left or the right, depending on your needs. This script automatizes the whole process in one click.

The Associated Press' annual poll of U.S. editors and news directors on the top 10 sports stories of 2012 was released this week, and as in the 2011 edition, Penn State tops the results. Here's the full list:
1. Penn State
2. Lance Armstrong
3. NFL bounties
4. Football concussions
5. London Olympics
6. College football playoffs
7. Replacement officials (NFL)
8. Super Giants (Super Bowl)
9. Summitt Retires (Tennessee women's basketball)
10. Manning's Resurgence (Denver Broncos)
What's perhaps most remarkable is that not only did the AP poll voters choose the same top story for 2012 as they did for 2011 (the first time that's happened dating back to the poll's 1990 inception), but also that it's almost impossible to dispute their choice: the Jerry Sandusky scandal at Penn State. The story hasn't actually dominated the news cycle for two complete years, as it broke nationwide in November 2011 and faded a little following Sandusky's conviction in June 2012, but it clearly was the most wide-reaching sports story in both 2011 and 2012, and its implications are still being felt.
Consider Sports Illustrated's December cover story by Gary Smith on how speaking out about the sexual abuse they suffered affected R.A. Dickey and Kayla Harrison; neither's a football player and neither had Penn State ties, but Smith mentions the Sandusky case and its impact on how we think about sexual abuse in his fifth paragraph, and later in the story, includes how the Sandusky saga impacted Dickey and Harrison. For both, it played an important role in their decision to share their story with a wide audience, and they're only a few of the athletes who have come forward in the wake of the Sandusky scandal.
That's only one element of the story, too; the Penn State story also carried major implications for how we think about revering coaches, and it had significant on-field consquences given the NCAA sanctions and many players' decisions to transfer. The Penn State/Sandusky saga had a huge impact in the media realm in 2012 as well, from CBS' errant report of Joe Paterno's death to the questions about Joe Posnanski's book on Paterno to ESPN's questionable decision to have Matt Millen featured front and centre in their coverage of the Freeh Report. It wasn't an easy story for media outlets to cover, but it was clearly the most important sports story of 2012.
What else the voters got right:
The picks of NFL bounties and football concussions at #3 and #4 seem particularly strong. Both of those stories have been ongoing throughout the year and have so many different elements involved. The amount of concussion litigation that's popped up this year, with thousands of former players suing the NFL, is particularly notable; concussions are only going to become an even larger part of the sports discussion going forward. BountyGate itself didn't necessarily have to become a huge deal, especially given the amount of hyperbole in the initial details and coverage, but the NFL's overreaching response, the bizarre side stories (Warren Sapp and snitches! Mickey Loomis and wiretapping probes!), the impact of the suspensions handed out, the questions raised about commissioner Roger Goodell's handling of the situation, and former commissioner Paul Tagliabue's eventual decision to vacate the penalties handed out to players made this a year-long story that was covered everywhere and deserving of plenty of coverage. Another nice inclusion here is Tennessee women's basketball coach Pat Summitt's retirement; #9 seems about right, as NCAA women's basketball is far from top of mind for most, but Summitt's impact on women's sports as a whole was incredible and her decision to take her struggle with Alzheimer's public was worthy of plenty of attention.
Stories ranked too low:
Putting the shift to a college football playoff system at #6 seems too low from this corner. This is a seismic change in the college football landscape, one that's been lobbied for unceasingly for years and one that's not only fueled plenty of past conference realignment (the #4 story in this poll last year), but is still causing conference upheaval and will be likely doing so for years to come. Moreover, it's been an ongoing story: from the controversial LSU-Alabama rematch in the January title game to the continuing debate about just how playoff teams will be selected and if the playoffs will stop at four teams or inevitably expand down the road. Yes, college football isn't huge in every market, but on a national scale, it's very significant and this is a story that's going to alter it forever.
Ranking the NFL's replacement refs at #7 also seems low. Coverage of the league's dispute with the officials' union started long before the season and the eventual debacle in Seattle not only led to ESPN's most-watched SportsCenter ever (despite it airing from 12-1:30 a.m. Eastern!), but also produced one of the most significant losses for the NFL in a negotiation in decades. The replacement refs saga shows that "The Shield" is no longer as invulnerable or as unquestionably dominant as it once was, and that football fans won't just meekly take whatever the NFL decides to give them. That's bigger than a #7 story.
Stories ranked too high:
Yes, it's notable that Lance Armstrong finally gave up his fight against the USADA's doping charges, but is that really the second-biggest story of 2012? Most of the important news about Armstrong happened long before this year, and while this decision led to his seven Tour de France titles being officially stripped, it probably didn't actually change many minds on the question of whether he's a hero, a villain or somewhere in between. The Armstrong story's also in a sport that's barely on the North American radar these days, and while it received plenty of coverage when it happened, the coverage didn't last all that long. The Armstrong story deserves to be on this list, but not this high. The stories ranked three through six (NFL bounties, football concussions, the Olympics and the college football playoffs) all received both more peak coverage and longer-lasting coverage, and deservingly so.
Notable omissions:
There aren't too many big stories missed here. One that comes to mind is the NHL lockout, but although that has a huge impact in some areas, ESPN executive Vince Doria's easily-mockable May comments that the NHL "doesn't transfer much to…a national discussion" in the U.S. aren't entirely wrong. Just look at Bill Simmons' tweets to see how little national play much of the U.S. hockey coverage gets. (It's obviously rather different in Canada, where the lockout topped The Canadian Press' similar poll of the top 10 stories.) You can make a case that the lockout should bump one of the lower stories here, but although it may be more significant for many, it's hard to argue that the NHL lockout's been more notable across the U.S. than even the state of Peyton Manning's neck.

The Slowdown gets in the livestream concert game; Ramon Speed tonight, Matt Cox Saturday…
Category: Blog — Tags: Little Brazil, Matt Cox, No Thanks, Noah's Ark Was a Spaceship, Ramon Speed, Slowdown — @ 11:45 am May 8, 2020
Ramon Speed at Junkstock #20 at Sweatshop Gallery, Nov. 8, 2014. The band has a livestream tonight at 6 p.m.
by Tim McMahan, Lazy-i.com
The Slowdown announced two upcoming concerts featuring full bands. No, you can't attend. Both are livestream events.
The first is Omaha punk newcomer No Thanks and hip-hop royalty Marcey Yates (a.k.a. Op2mus), Thursday, May 21 at 8 p.m. (RSVP/tickets here).
The second features two of Omaha's most beloved punk/indie bands — Noah's Ark Was a Spaceship and Little Brazil Saturday, May 23 at 8 p.m. (RSVP tickets/here).
These are not free streams. Tickets are $5, and ticket holders will receive a link to the event 48 hours and 10 minutes prior to start time. The shows begin at 8:15 p.m.
No doubt you'll get your money's worth. Expect the highest quality stream experience possible, with sound by house engineer Dan Brennan and video production by Love Drunk's Django Greenblatt-Seay – it doesn't get any better.
All acts will be performing on the big stage, making them safe from a social-distancing perspective.
I intend to tune in for both, and have to wonder if this livestream approach is successful if it isn't something Slowdown will continue even after COVID has gone its merry way. Because some nights you just want to stay in, but you don't want to miss the rock…
Speaking of livestreams… there's a red hot one going on tonight.
Tonight at 6 p.m. via their Facebook page ( https://www.facebook.com/ramon.speed ) tune in for a performance by Ramon Speed (Unread Records).
Tomorrow night (Saturday) Matt Cox is live from Mars House starting at 7 p.m. Go to Facebook to watch the stream.
While we're talking streams, Low End, the new performance space that used to be Bemis Underground, is hosting a livestream Thursday, May 14 , featuring FXTHR^, the sound collage art of Dustin Bushon. More info here.
I'm sure there's more live streams going on this weekend I don't know about. If I missed yours, put it in the comments section. Have a great weekend.

Man Suffers Life-Threatening Injuries in Tree Crash in Oceanside
by Debbie L. Sklar February 8, 2019

A 37-year-old man suffered life-threatening injuries Friday morning when he lost control of his car on an Oceanside street and slammed into a tree, police said.
It happened shortly before 2:10 a.m. on Melrose Drive between Meadowbrook and Sagewood drives, Oceanside Police Sgt. Rick Davis said.
The 37-year-old man was driving a Subaru Impreza sedan northbound on Melrose Drive at a high speed when he lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a tree, Davis said.
Paramedics arrived and found the victim unconscious with a severe head injury, Davis said.
He was taken to a hospital, where he was admitted in critical condition, Sgt. Nick Nunez said. An update on the victim's condition was not immediately available.
Alcohol was believed to be a factor in the crash, Nunez said.

2020 Shelby Super Snake Bold Isn't for the Faint-hearted
Featured, Smartphones
The Nokia 7.1 Delivers a Pure Android Experience
In Partnership with HMD Global
Jacob Osborn, Dec 11 2018
The verdict is in: the Nokia 7.1 smartphone delivers more bang for your buck than any other device of its kind. Available in Gloss Midnight Blue, the gadget is sleek and sturdy, fusing chamfered metal edges with tapered glass to achieve a smooth effect. It also comes equipped with an impressive amount of advanced technology, such as AI imaging, depth-sensing dual cameras, an all-day battery life, PureDisplay, and a slew of sensors. Last but not least, the Nokia 7.1 brings users a pure Android experience by way of Android One, Google's wildly popular and innovative platform. Consequently, the screen layout is resoundingly streamlined and totally absent of duplicate applications. The result is maximised performance, quick updates, and two years worth of software upgrades. Circling back to the price tag ($499 AUD), Nokia's latest is an offer that's simply too good to refuse.
The 5.8″ PureDisplay edge-to-edge screen, is the first of its kind to offer real-time SDR to HDR conversion, meaning higher contrast and greater clarity; revealing the detail in both light and dark areas as well as stunning vibrant colours. As such, the phone makes expert use of its own real estate, thereby packing a formidable impression within a slim, tight, and ergonomic body. Perched behind a sheet of sturdy glass, the screen delivers beautiful cinematic quality entertainment, immersive colour, expanded dynamic range, and automatic adaptation to a swath of external lighting conditions. Like everything else on the Nokia 7.1, the high-resolution screen feels too good to be true in relation to the smartphone's price point. In turn, you might be seriously second-guessing Samsung or Apple's latest, which cost more or less twice as much.
The Nokia 7.1 with Android One ups the software ante by sticking closely to the basics. On the PureDisplay home screen, you'll find only Google apps and a couple of Nokia apps, amounting to an approachable layout and swift user-experience. For those who want to clean up the already clean interface, uninstalling unwanted apps is as effortless as it is efficient. Put it all together and the result is what might be described as a minimalist design, and we mean that in the best sense of the term. To put it another way, the software is fast, organised, and unfettered, which is exactly what one would hope for. It's also worth noting that the phone ships with Android Oreo 8.1, and is now upgradable to Android 9 Pie.
In addition to improved security and new gesture navigation, Android 9 Pie delivers a swath of juicy features. Among them are Adaptive Battery, Adaptive Brightness, and App Actions, the last of which automatically starts tasks and predicts your actions based on the time of day. Along similar lines, Slices provides handy shortcuts within your favourite apps. Rounding out Android Pie's charms are a new accessibility menu, a screenshot shortcut, swifter text selection, and improvements to audio, notifications, and screen rotation alike. Meanwhile, Digital Wellbeing helps you stay on top of your personal phone usage with features that allow you to review the time you've spent checking your phone, using apps or receiving notifications and then, consequently, setting daily limits.
The perks of Android One keep rolling in. Thanks to its ability to prioritise apps and background activity, the OS preserves the battery and reduces power usage. On the Nokia 7.1, that equates to a thoroughly impressive battery life, which can last all day before needing a recharge. Another benefit of Android One? Access to Google Assistant, naturally. It comes built-in to the device, meaning a variety of handy functions is just a voice command away.
Security is also a big thing on Android One. To that end, the Nokia 7.1 includes Google Play Protect, which scans up to 50 billion apps per day, and uses machine learning to get smarter and more responsive over time. Protecting you from shady websites is Safe Browsing, a feature that warns you when a site isn't up to snuff, and then takes you back to safety. The Nokia 7.1 also comes with Find My Device, allowing you to track the phone down when it goes missing, as well as set a new passcode or wipe the phone clean from a peripheral device.
For all the photo junkies out there (you know who you are), the Nokia 7.1 definitely has you covered. As one might expect, Google Photo and Google Lens are more optimal than ever before. Specifically, you can store an unlimited number of photos for free, and search for specific ones using simple words like "girlfriend" or "restaurant". Thanks to Google Lens, you can look up info or copy/paste text directly from each photo.
While on the subject of photography, the Nokia 7.1's HDR camera setup is surprisingly impressive. Bolstered by AI depth-based imaging and ZEISS optics, the rear 12MP + 5MP dual cameras capture SLR-style shots, and use bokeh mode to soften (i.e. blur) the background. Also featured are lightning-fast autofocus, remarkable detail, exquisite colour contrast, and manual control over things like white balance, ISO, aperture, and shutter speed. Expect some professional looking pictures, to say the least. Videos are likewise superb, and available in cinema-quality HDR. Slow-motion is included, and you can also convert SDR to HDR for an immersive viewing experience, courtesy of PureDisplay.
Let's take a quick trip to the other side of the device, where an AI-powered front-facing 8MP camera serves up a range of advantages. Included among them is facial recognition, allowing you to incorporate all sorts of filters and animated 3D masks. That's joined by one-touch live stream capability, meaning it's never been easier to throw content up on YouTube or Facebook. Needless to say, the phone leaves no selfie stone unturned.
When it comes to advanced sensors and long-lasting power, the Nokia 7.1 definitely doesn't slouch. More to the point, it hosts an Ambient light sensor, Proximity sensor, Accelerometer, E-compass, Gyroscope, and Fingerprint sensor. Under the skin is a Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 636 Mobile Platform, a vigorous processor that comes equipped with a Spectra ISP and a Kryo CPU built on ARM Cortex technology. Throw in the all-day battery life and you end up with all the performance features you could ask for, including access to AR gaming and streaming.
Android One takes a downright efficient approach toward data management and usability alike. In turn, the Nokia 7.1 is a speedy, smart and optimal device. What's most admirable about it, however, is the clean and unfettered layout. Indeed, say goodbye to bloatware and other excessive software that might bog down performance. Minimalism isn't exactly a positive word when it comes to technology, but on this device, it works like a charm.
Between the professional-grade camera, the long-lasting battery, the sturdy build, the streamlined layout, and the automatic updates, the Nokia 7.1 checks off all the major boxes. The best part? It all comes in at significantly less cost than your average device of similar quality. If you're tired of paying an entire month's rent for a high-performance smartphone, Nokia is here to heed the call.

How the EU works
Ask Full Fact: did we vote for the EU in the 1975 referendum?
"How does the current EU setup differ from what was put before the electorate in the 1970s referendum? I have heard that it was touted as simply a trade agreement."
Full Fact readers
In 1975 the UK held a referendum on continued membership of the European Community.
This wasn't presented just as a trade agreement. Other issues discussed at the time related to security, European funding for UK industries and regions, and aid to developing countries.
That's not to say that anyone in 1975 knew what the EU would be like in 2016, or how much it would change in the following years.
The European Community was presented as more than a trade agreement
During the 1975 campaign, membership of the European Community was presented by both the government and the Conservative opposition as relevant to peace, security, and both regional and international development, as well as to trade and economic cooperation.
In 1975 the government set out the aims of the European Community as bringing "together the peoples of Europe", raising living standards and improving working conditions, promoting growth and boosting world trade. They also set out that the EC would "help the poorest regions of Europe and the rest of the world" and "help maintain peace and freedom".
In their October 1974 manifesto, the Conservative party outlined the two key ideas behind the EEC as being to maintain security within Europe and to allow European influence in the world, and control over its own affairs, to grow in a world of polarised superpowers.
The "Yes" and "No" campaigns talked about other issues too
The "Yes" campaign of 1975 also presented the debate as being about a range of issues, from jobs security to world peace and the Commonwealth.
One "Yes" campaign claim which with the benefit of hindsight we can say was not true, was that English common law would not be affected by staying in the European Community. We now know that EU law has a significant effect on UK law.
Meanwhile the official "No" campaign warned of the risk to sovereignty, jobs and food prices. They also raised the issue of lesser trade with the Commonwealth if the UK voted to stay in the European Community and told voters that it would be best for peace, stability and independence if they voted to leave.
Immigration was not mentioned by either campaign in their official leaflets.
The EU today is larger than the European Community in 1975
The EU has grown from 9 European Community member countries in 1975 to 28 today.
Of the five main institutions which run the EU today, four were in place by 1975: the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union, the European Commission and the Court of Justice. Other bodies have been added since, including the European Council which defines the political direction and agenda of the EU.
The EU covers more policy areas than the European Community in 1975
In 1975 the aims of the European Community largely concerned trade. The Treaty of Rome set these out and they relate to policies such as free movement, removing tariffs and the creation of the Common Agricultural Policy.
This shift in priorities is emphasised when EU spending is examined. The proportion of the EU budget going towards the Common Agricultural Policy has decreased since the 1975 referendum, from 72% in 1975 to 39% in 2014.
However, the European Community also aimed to promote collaboration between member states by improving living and working conditions across Europe and encouraging international development.
Since 1975, the UK has signed up to five more "main treaties" which have extended the powers of what became the European Community and then the EU. Every EU country, including the UK, agreed to these.
The EU now has "competences" or powers in a wider range of policies including consumer protection, energy and climate change, security and crime. In some areas the EU's powers are exclusive, while in others they are shared with, or support, member states' decisions.
British ministers have fewer opportunities to veto European legislation
In 1975 the Government argued that the British representatives on the Council of Ministers could veto any European legislation considered to be against the UK's interests. The voting rules have been changed since then, removing the veto in certain cases. So this is less likely to be the case now.
The UK's share of the vote in the Council of Ministers (now known as the Council of the European Union) has also declined since 1975 from 17% to 8%, and will be back up to 13% under a new system. However, even when decisions do not require unanimous approval it is unlikely that a decision the UK is very opposed to would get as far as a vote.

Follow @FunEasyEnglish
To complete graduate study in the United States successfully, you will need to be able to read, write, and communicate orally in English with a high degree of proficiency. English language proficiency will also help you to achieve your academic and personal goals while in the United States.
To determine your level of English language proficiency, arrange to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) as early as possible — at least a year before you plan to enroll. As with many areas of U.S. education, each institution sets its own English language admission standard, but some guidelines on the standard required are given in the section on TOEFL scores below. Some institutions accept English language examinations other than TOEFL; check the information you receive from institutions to see which examinations they accept.
Even if you have a good basic level of English proficiency and have met the minimum TOEFL requirements for a university, some schools may require you to take courses to improve your mastery of American English, academic or research usage, and study skills. If you studied English under the British system, you may find that U.S. vocabulary and usage are quite different.
If you are applying for a teaching assistantship, the university may ask you to demonstrate your proficiency in spoken English, which the TOEFL examination does not test. The Test of Spoken English (TSE), often required for this purpose, is offered less frequently and at fewer centers than TOEFL. Allow several additional months for the application process if you are applying for a teaching assistantship.
TOEFL Waivers
If you are a non-U.S. citizen and nonnative speaker of English who has been educated in English for most of your school life, your TOEFL requirement may be waived. Allow time in the application process to correspond with U.S. universities about this issue. American universities are unlikely to accept secondary school English language examination results as proof of your language ability.
"There are many great TOEFL preparation books that can help you with exercises for the test. You need to be familiar with the structure of the TOEFL and prepare for it."
— Literature student from Hungary
TOEFL is given on computer in almost all countries worldwide, and the paper-based version is being phased out. The test is offered on many days in the month, but only at a limited number of computer-based testing centers. You may have to travel some distance to reach the nearest test center.
Preregistration is required, and it is NOT possible to go to the testing center and hope to find space available that same day. Computer-based testing registration deadlines vary. According to current TOEFL instructions, mail-in registration deadlines are three weeks ahead of your desired test date, one week ahead of the test date for fax registrations, and two days ahead of the test date for registration by telephone. Note that a credit card is required to register by fax or telephone. You can indicate the days when you would prefer to take the test, and the test administrators will try to accommodate your requests. However, at certain times of the year, or in certain cities, centers may be very busy. It is therefore advisable to register at least two to three months in advance of your desired test date. For those countries where paper-based testing is still offered, the test is given on certain dates during the year, and registration deadlines are approximately six weeks ahead of those dates.
TOEFL registration bulletins are available from either the test administrators in the United States, the regional registration center for your country (see the TOEFL Web site at http://www.toefl.org or the test registration bulletin for further details), or from U.S. educational information and advising centers. These centers may ask you to pay postage costs, and they may also have test preparation materials for the TOEFL available for reference use, loan, or purchase.
The test uses a multiple choice and essay format to measure each examinee's ability to understand North American English. The test is divided into four sections: listening, structure, reading, and writing. The writing section requires the test taker to write an essay. TOEFL is a computer-adaptive test, which means that not all students answer exactly the same questions on the test. Instead, depending on how the student performs on each question, the computer determines whether the level of the next question should be easier or more difficult.
The total number of questions you answer correctly, together with your score on the essay, form the raw scores for each section. Raw scores are then converted to a scaled score for each section, which for the computer-based test ranges from 0 to 30. From these a total score is calculated, which ranges between 40 and 300 for the computer-based test. Each graduate department within a university decides for itself what score is acceptable. In general, colleges consider a total score of 250 or above to be excellent and a score below 173 to be inadequate. Most institutions require a score of between 213 and 250 (550 and 600 on the paper-based test) for admission to a graduate program. A few accept scores as low as 173 (500 on the paper-based test).

BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- A graduate student union at New York University on Friday voted in favor of joining the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement against Israeli violations of Palestinian human rights.
Two-thirds of the Graduate Student Organizing Committee cast a vote in support of the resolution, which calls on both NYU and its United Automobile Workers union affiliate to divest from all Israeli state institutions -- including universities -- and corporations "complicit in" Israeli violations.
Over 600 union members voted in the referendum, a reportedly larger-than-average turnout for union votes. The 2,000-strong union represents graduate teaching and research assistants at the university.
Some 57 percent of voters made a voluntary individual pledge to participate in the academic boycott against Israel.
The BDS movement has gained momentum over the past year, aiming to exert political and economic pressure over Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory in a bid to repeat the success of the campaign which ended apartheid in South Africa.
Major actors to join the movement this year include British security giant G4S and French telecom company Orange.
The NYU union's support of BDS comes after US President Barack Obama in February signed into law an anti-BDS trade agreement reiterating that US Congress "opposes politically motivated actions that penalize or otherwise limit commercial relations specifically with Israel," referring directly to BDS activities.
The Israeli leadership has widely condemned the BDS movement as antisemitic or carried out from "hatred of Israel," while proponents of the movement argue divestment measures are necessary in pressuring Israel to end its decades-long military occupation.
Moves inside the US -- Israel's longstanding ally and number one provider of military aid -- to criminalize BDS have meanwhile been slammed by human rights defenders as a violation of free speech.

Argentina and Brazil may fill China's soybean needs if China imposes a 25% tariff on U.S. soybean exports.
Chad Hart, an agriculture economist at Iowa State University, says the impact depends on what happens during negotiations.
Earlier this month, the United States and China both announced taxes on billions of dollars worth of imported goods — China is seeking tariffs on $50 billion worth of U.S. products that include soybeans and pork, while the U.S. announced taxes on $150 billion worth of 1,300 Chinese products, including electronics.
Typically, Hart said, there's enough outside trade and production that you can easily replace one market with another.
But with soybeans, "China is the world's largest consumer, and the U.S. is the largest producer … so they'll need to replace the U.S. with some other country," he said.
Purdue University estimates that U.S. soybean exports to China could drop up to 71% if tariffs are put in place, according to a study released March 28. This means the country would still need about 29% of U.S. soybeans.
China is a top customer for both Argentina and Brazil.
Argentina exported $3.2 billion worth of soybeans in 2016, according to data from the World Bank. Brazil exported $19 billion worth of soybeans.
China bought 51 million tonnes of soybeans from Brazil in 2017 and 31 million tonnes of soybeans from the U.S., according to the South Morning China Post.
In the short term, China could turn to Brazil's soybean crop to fill the gap, experts said.
Estimates released last week put Brazil's soybean crop at about 115 million tonnes, according to Reuters.
However, complicating China's soybean supply line is a severe drought in Argentina; the nation has 7 million tons of soybeans less to export, according to a USDA report released in March.
And last week, Argentina bought 120,000 tonnes of U.S. soybeans for delivery later this year, its largest purchase in 20 years, according to Reuters.
China is expected to import 100 million tonnes of soybeans during the 2017-2018 marketing year, according to a Reuters analyst.
If tariffs are put in place, China would remain a customer, but it is hard to predict how much of a decrease in soybeans they would import, he said.
While the financial market responded right away to the potential tariffs, they are "not doing this tomorrow," says Patrick Westoff, a University of Missouri professor and director of the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute.
Illinois-based Archer Daniels Midland is one of the largest grain and oilseed processing companies in the world. Soybeans accounted for 17% of its $60.8 billion revenue in 2017, according to its annual report.
"ADM's global reach offers America's farmers access to markets far beyond the U.S., and as such we are supportive of free and fair trade policies that help agricultural and food products move efficiently around the globe. These tariffs are not yet final, and we are hopeful for a positive resolution," said ADM spokeswoman Jackie Anderson in a statement.

Tömösváry Ödön (Magyaró, 1852. október 12. – Déva, 1884. augusztus 15.) zoológus, entomológus (rovartani kutató), tanár.

Szakmai karrierje
1870–1872-ben a selmecbányai erdészeti főiskolán tanult. 1877-ig mint erdőmérnök működött. További tanulmányait és tudományos karrierjét Herman Ottó természettudós, Horváth Géza, a Nemzeti Múzeum természettudományi gyűjteményének kurátora és idősb Entz Géza biológus is támogatta. A kolozsvári egyetemen 1880-ban bölcsészdoktori, 1881-ben természetrajz szakos középiskolai tanári oklevelet szerzett. Közben a marosvásárhelyi református kollégiumban a természetrajz helyettes tanára volt. 1881 nyarán filoxérabiztos, majd 1882-ben a budapesti filoxéra-kísérleti állomás munkatársa lett. 1883 nyarán az Al-Dunán a kolumbácsi légy tanulmányozása közben új légyfajt fedezett fel, a Thalassomya congregatát. Állattani kutatásait a százlábúakkal folytatta, és a Természettudományi Társaság meg is bízta azok monografikus feldolgozásával, amiben tuberkulózis miatti korai halála megakadályozta. 1884-ben, közvetlenül halála előtt a kassai gazdasági intézet segédtanárává nevezték ki.

6 éves tudományos pályafutása alatt 57 publikációt írt. 1883-as, Sajátságos érző készülékek a százlábúaknál című közleménye alapján e szervet Tömösváry-szervnek nevezték el.
