The fast development of the emerging research topics field results in hundreds of theoretical and empirical publications. However, to our knowledge, there is no comprehensive and objective literature review on this field until now. To this end, a citation network consisting of 1607 papers between 1965 and early 2019 is explored to discover the knowledge diffusion trajectory of the emerging research topics field by the key-route main path analysis approach, armed with the traversal weight of search path link count. From the convergence–divergence patterns in the local and global main paths, the development of emerging research topics field can be divided into three different stages: the emergence, exploration and development stages. In the meanwhile, several research drifts can also be observed: (1) from citation-based approaches to machine learning based ones, (2) from the measurement to the identification, and (3) from the papers to the patents. Finally, the directions of future research are suggested.

Hong Kong-based Pickupp makes logistics more affordable for e-commerce sellers

Logistics is one of the biggest challenges in e-commerce, especially for smaller merchants. Pickupp helps them compete in the on-demand economy with flexible, customizable delivery services. Based in Hong Kong, Pickupp also operates in Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan, and claims it can save clients an average of about 28% in logistic costs.
Pickupp is able to do this with an asset-light business model. Instead of operating warehouses or its own fleets, it partners with logistics companies and uses proprietary software to make delivering batches of orders more efficient.
The company, which currently serves about 10,000 e-commerce merchants, announced last month it closed an undisclosed amount in Series A funding from Vision Plus Capital, Alibaba Enterpreneurs Fund, Cyperport Macro Fund, Swire Properties New Ventures and SparkLabs Taipei .
Pickupp currently offers three kinds of door-to-door delivery services: on-demand couriers who deliver within a four-hour window, same-day deliveries and one to three-day deliveries. It can also customize logistics and last-minute delivery solutions for businesses.
In Singapore, Pickupp runs its own e-commerce platform. Called Shop On Pickupp, the platform enables merchants to move more of their retail operations online and has been used to digitize marketplaces like the Shilin Singapore Night Market during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Before starting Pickupp, co-founder and chief executive officer Crystal Pang, a software engineer by training, was part of the team that launched Uber in Hong Kong in 2014.
"Around that time, I started looking into logistics, because I found out a lot of merchants were trying to use Uber cars to deliver other stuff, anything but people," she said.
But unlike delivery services, merchants couldn't bargain with Uber drivers — for example, negotiating discounted fees if they were able to wait longer for a vehicle. "That's the gist of logistics, because everyone wants to get part of those cost savings," Pang said. Sensing a market opportunity, Pang began using her software engineering background to think of a solution.
Pickupp was founded in December 2016 and began operating the next year. When it launched, Pickupp already had formidable rivals like Gogovan and Lalamove. But since those companies focused mainly on on-demand, point-to-point delivery, Pang saw an opportunity to tackle other parts of the supply chain.
"How we see ourselves compared to other logistics companies is that we fulfill all these e-commerce needs. We behave like a logistics company, but we don't need to own anything. So we perform the function of a traditional logistics company, which in this area is SF Express or Ninja Van, that lease warehouses and operate their own fleets, but Pickupp chooses a lightweight asset approach to getting it done," she said.
Pickupp positions itself more as a data and tech company, Pang added.
"You can almost imagine us as a monitoring system," she said. Pickupp partners with sorting facilities, cross-border freight forwarders and delivery vehicles, and gives merchants visibility into where orders are along the supply chain.
Its system keeps costs down by predicting when and where available delivery people will be available, so it can match them with batches of orders. This also prevents bottlenecks during demand spikes and makes sure couriers are used at the most capacity possible, which is especially important for holidays and major shopping events like Double Eleven and Black Friday.
One of Pickupp's advantages is that its system is designed to be flexible so it can scale into new Asian markets quickly. Pang told TechCrunch that the round will be used to add more services, and invest in machine learning, predictive analytics and understanding customer purchasing behavior. The company also plans to expand into up to five new Asian markets over the next three years.
Queen Elizabeth Sent a Private Message to Joe Biden Before the Inauguration
Ramin Bahrani, the Iranian-American filmmaker, started out small, with the simple story of a pushcart vendor, a Pakistani immigrant selling coffee and doughnuts in New York, in 2005's "Man Push Cart." In the years since, his films have steadily grown in scale and melodrama, but they've stayed resolutely within the gap separating rich and poor. Bahrani's last film, 2014's "99 Homes" — a movie dedicated to Roger Ebert, who championed Bahrani's early work — plunged into the heart of the Great Recession in a damning economic parable of foreclosure in Florida, with a titanic performance by Michael Shannon as a predatory real-estate broker. Bahrani's latest, the India-set "The White Tiger," is a step higher, still, in scope and vigor.

What Is "Hanbang" Skin Care? This K-Beauty Trend Is Becoming Mainstream
Essences and treatment ampoules infused with unconventional ingredients like snail slime. Meticulous 10-step regimens and "glass" skin. The beauty routines like "slugging" taking over TikTok. We've borrowed more than just a few skin-care trends from the Korean beauty space, and judging my our ongoing fascination of the K-beauty world and the abundance of practices, trends, and products still yet to make their way stateside, that's not slowing down anytime soon. Given the worldwide emphasis on wellness over the last few years, it makes sense that the next wave of K-beauty skin care will be about "hanbang." For the unfamiliar, the term refers to ancient traditional Korean holistic medicine and focuses on using various herbal ingredients to balance the mind and body for total wellness. With skin care specifically, hanbang refers to the use of those same herbal ingredients in topical products for the skin, linking inner and outer health. "Skin care is all about balancing your skin's needs to create a healthy barrier and glowing complexion, and hanbang's appoach to holistic health aligns with this completely," Charlotte Cho, co-founder of Soko Glam , told POPSUGAR. "After all, isn't skin health a vital part of your overall well being? Besides an alignment of values, hanbang's ingredients are highly efficacious when included in skin-care products, boasting anti-aging, antibacterial, and anti-redness properties." If you're already a fan of K-beauty brands and the innovative products that come with, then you may already be using hanbang skin care without knowing it. "Hanbang ingredients, which are traditional herbal ingredients used in Korean medicines, have long been a staple in Korean life and I've loved seeing them being incorporated more and more into mainstream skin care." Examples of these herbal ingredients include dark spot-fading licorice root (sounds familiar, right?), regenerative ginseng, free radical-fighting green tea, and rehmannia, which Cho calls "the hanbang world's secret anti-inflammatory agent." "One of my favorite hanbang ingredients right now is houttuynia cordata, or heartleaf as it's also known," she said. "It's packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. It also contains polysaccharides, which draws moisture into the skin and promotes a glowy look by keeping your complexion hydrated and smooth." If you're ready to try this old-meets-new, wellness-meets-skin-care category of K-beauty products, keep scrolling to check out just a few of our favorites.

Lillian Frances Smith (1871-1930) is best remembered as Annie Oakley's chief competitor in the small world of the Wild West shows' female shooters.

Q: How can i prove that if $x_0$ is a solution then $[x_0]$ is unique? $4x\equiv10\pmod6$
I'm not sure what they asking when they say that the equivalence relation of a solution is unique.
Also I was able to find the solution -5 with euclids algorithm, is there a more formal way to do this?
${}{}{}$

A: The modulus $6$ is very small, so the solutions can be obtained by inspection.
We find that there are two solutions, $x\equiv 1\pmod{6}$ and $x\equiv 4\pmod{6}$. So the congruence has more than one solution modulo $6$. (It has a unique solution modulo $3$.)
Remark: If $a$ is relatively prime to $m$, then $ax\equiv b\pmod{m}$ has  unique solution modulo $m$.
If $a$ and $m$ are not relatively prime, and $a$ and $m$, and the congruence $ax\equiv b\pmod{m}$ has a solution, that solution is not unique modulo $m$.
Your example has $a=4$ and $m=6$, and these are not relatively prime.

Despite all of the year's major hacks, people still can't seem to let passwords like 'admin' and '123456' go.
Passwords represent a critical vulnerability for most organizations today, as employees remain the no. 1 cause of company data breaches. However, that hasn't stopped many people from continuing to use default or easy-to-guess passwords for work and personal accounts, leading to increased risk of security incidents.
In its annual report of worst passwords of the year, SplashData examined more than 5 million passwords leaked during 2017. This year, "starwars" joined the list at no. 16.
Taking the top two spots for the fourth consecutive year are the old standbys, "123456" and "password." A number of variations of each, such as "123456789" and "passw0rd" also made the list.

Poker Stars dealt their ten billionth hand this evening.
It played out at a 1c/2c blind, no limit hold'em table. The winner, justine0003, had a stack of $0.82c at the start of the hand, and dragged down a mammoth $100,003.31 pot with an eight-three suited.
For this promotion, Poker Stars were paying everybody dealt into the hand a $10,000 bonus, and the winner hand of hand #10,000,000,000 got their bonus upgraded to a cool hundred large.
These awards were to be increased further based upon your rank within the VIP program. Conspiracy theorists may note not only that it's impossible to earn any frequent player points (and therefore progress through the VIP program) at the stakes played on the chosen table, but that it was also 6-handed table, not the usual 9-handed. The cost to PokerStars was precisely $150,000 – not to be sniffed at, but on a full ring mid or high stakes game it could have cost almost double that.
The winner's suited garbage made a flush on the turn to beat a five-four offsuit, a nine-ten suited and one other hand that was mucked and is not visible in the hand history. Four players were all in before the flop. Two folded pre-flop.
Those two players probably made the worse mistake in online poker, ever.
Players inwooke and XTedForrestX, sitting on stacks of $1.73 and $2.95 respectively, folded after the first player to act moved all in with his $4.83. An astute move by Rechargeable, because with a hundred grand at stake you're going to play, but you want to be racing off your cards against as few players as possible. You'd think nobody will fold here ever, but at least you can give them a chance to get it wrong.
Here's what getting it wrong fold cost them: for a saving of $2.95 (let's take the worst case scenario) they gave up a one-sixth theoretical share of $90,000 additional money. That's an expected return of $15,000, not to mention the few dollars in the actual pot itself. It's over 30,500 to 1 pot odds, and and even with a hopeless hand you're surely no worse off than a 20-1 shot to strike it rich.
Playing scared is one thing. Winning ten grand for nothing but then not wanting to risk three bucks on the best lottery ticket you'll ever get defies logic.

Look to autogas LPG for even greater fuel savings
Families and businesses breathing a sigh of relief following the Chancellor's decision to scrap September's planned fuel duty increase are being reminded that even greater financialsavings can be achieved by converting their cars to run on autogas LPG.
This increasingly popular road fuel is currently available on more than 1,400 forecourt sites across the UK and with its better environmental credentials than petrol and diesel; it attracts a lower rate of duty, helping drivers slash their annual fuel bills by as much as 40 percent.
"While the scrapping of the planned three pence fuel duty increase in September will come as welcomed news to millions of families and businesses across the UK, it does put into the perspective the huge savings that can be achieved by switching to autogas LPG," comments Linda Gomersall, general manager, Autogas Limited. "Unleaded is currently hovering around the 139 pence per litre mark whereas LPG is typically a whopping 65 pence per litre cheaper. These vast savings can make an enormous difference to drivers and dwarf the cuts announced today."
Despite today's announcement, rising motoring costs continue to be a major worry for many. A recent AA members' survey found that 'cost of living' has moved from near the bottom of major concerns in the UK to the top position. Meanwhile the RAC Foundation has also reported that the poorest ten per cent of car-owning households in the UK are mired in transport poverty and are spending at least 27 percent of their disposable income on buying and running a car.
However, most petrol powered cars can be converted to run on autogas LPG making them bi-fuel which switches seamlessly and automatically between the two fuel sources. Vehicle performance is unaffected with similar levels of torque and power. Indeed, many drivers are unable to notice any difference when the car switches from petrol onto LPG. Furthermore, drivers are safe in the knowledge that the vehicle retains its range capability, unlike those opting for pure electric models.
There are currently around 160,000 vehicles in the UK converted to run on autogas LPG. Conversions can be undertaken by any of UKLPG's national network of approved installers who typically take around two days to carry out the work. Once converted, drivers can immediately start saving up to 40 percent on their fuel bills. Details of approved installers can be found by visiting http://www.drivelpg.co.uk/.
"With ongoing petrol price rises, drivers are now making fewer journeys as well as travelling slower in order to improve their consumption," adds Gomersall. "While these can make a slight difference to people's pockets, the only real way to take control and carry on motoring without significant financial hardship is to switch over to LPG."

Does your husband like how you dress?
Sean and I recently listened together to a sermon on the topic of marriage. The speaker mentioned how important it is for husbands and wives to keep themselves attractive for their mate. It was a timely reminder. How easy it is after having a houseful of kids and keeping them clothed to put my wardrobe out of mind.
So, I thought I'd share this little tidbit of wisdom.
Does your spouse like how you smell?
Sean is very sensitive to smells. Any "fake" perfume-y smells like those from Bath and Body give him and instant headache. I am happy to wear lotions and perfumes without chemicals and fake scents because I know they are healthier for my skin too. I've worn the same perfume for almost a decade because it is his favorite.
Ask him. Tell him to be honest.
To get an idea of his tastes ask, "How do you like me to dress?" "Do you like the style of the clothes I usually wear?" "What outfit that I wear do you like the best."
Listen to him. Maybe you can ditch the sweats before he gets home, spray something pretty on, change into a shirt without baby stuff on it.
Does he like how you wear your hair?
"Honey, how do you like me to wear my hair?"
These aren't sexist, anti-anything questions or comments. I love Sean. I want to be attractive to him and I realize that attractiveness is the whole package, not just the inward, being a sweet, kind, patient wife (ha!ha! I try!). God created men to be visual creatures. That's the way it should be. I love it when Sean's eyes still light up when I enter the room!
A few years ago I asked Sean these questions and he said he likes it best when I look "classy". That could mean a lot of things but I knew exactly what Sean meant. He likes it when I look put together, wearing tasteful, beautiful clothing with a bit of elegance.
I also became a bit more mindful of how I was dressing when my husband began his business and I started running into people who know him or his business while out on errands. Realizing that the way the kids and I look is a reflection on him, I began taking a little more care with our appearances. It doesn't take any more effort for me to throw on a brown jersey skirt, tank and coral sweater than it does to throw on sweats.
Once you have an idea of what your husband prefers begin to slowly add these elements to your wardrobe. Do a search for "personal color analysis" and "body shapes" to find which colors and which cuts of clothing look the best on you. Ask your husband which ones he prefers and add basic elements to your wardrobe in these colors. Shop consignment shops and thrift stores. I've added very nice high priced clothing to my wardrobe this way. If you sew, pick up patterns and fabric on sale and add to your wardrobe that way, blessing others with items you no longer need.
Every few years, ask him again. Styles change, you change, he changes.
As a fellow mom of 4 (Mine are close in age to your 5), this is a post that would be timely at any point. I have never fallen into the "sloppy sweats" habit, but in trying to keep up with a passel of small ones, it's easy to let our own appearance slip a bit.
One thing I've done recently is buy a variety of styles from secondhand shops. This gives me an opportunity to try things I might not pay full price for, and if they don't work, I'm only out a couple of dollars. It's expanded my clothing options a great deal. I hear the excuse that SAHM's don't have the money to beat the frump, but IMO it doesn't have to cost a lot to look pretty.
Mine likes me in tight jeans and low cut tops, but that only happens around the house. :) He knows how modest I am in public and pokes fun at me for it, but I just can't bear to prance around like that in public even if he does prefer it.
Sometimes we forget in the midst of changing diapers, doing laundry and all-around homekeeping...to keep ourselves beautiful for our husbands.
I have begun to sew for myself again, which will keep me fashionable but also modest for my family and myself.
oh dear. I've been working on this. We live on a farm and our life is... well... messy, and my husband doesnt' mind that, as he wears coveralls at home around the farm too and, well... it's just the way things are on a farm. But that said, I have been trying to change into clean jeans and a nicer top right before he gets home and then use an apron to get supper on the table and dishes washed up. I'm conscious of wanting to be "sweet" on his eyes.
I too have found it's just as easy to throw on something nice as it to don jeans. It makes a difference.
So what is his favorite perfume?
Great post, Hannah! I have done this too. I have encouraged him to tell me when he really likes (or doesn't like) something I wear too. I think it has made him notice this stuff more too, which is fun for both of us.

Logical Fallacies 101: Equivocation- Who's Equivocating?
If you are wondering why we are doing a logic series, I would recommend reading our introduction article "4 Ways Logic Can Improve Your Quality of Life." If you have already read that article, or you intuitively recognize the need for clear thinking, then continue reading.
Introduction: How Can Knowing Logical Fallacies Help?
Logical fallacies can help you cut out the "Noise and Distraction," and allow Truth to have a voice in your investigations. In their introduction to Fallacy: The Counterfeit of Argument, W. Ward Fearnside and William B. Holther say,
"In the committee rooms of Congress, in the editorials of the chain newspapers, on radio, TV, and billboards —in all of the noise and distraction in which we live our lives, only a child or a saint could expect truth to prevail simply because it is true. Truth has a chance when Noise and Distraction are on her side; otherwise she may be overcome. And these two can and do daily prevail without her or against her" (Fearnside and Holther, Fallacy: The Counterfeit of Argument, 1).
Knowing logical fallacies and identifying them can help you cut out Truth's two enemies, "Noise" and "Distraction." You might be wondering, "If logical fallacies can help me out, exactly what is a fallacy?" I'm glad you asked.
Two Types of Logical Fallacies
There are two types of fallacies, formal fallacies and material fallacies. Formal fallacies occur when an argument violates a formal rule like in algebra, a board game, or grammar. You must follow the rules if you are to solve the problem, play the game legitimately, or accurately communicate. Arguments can be precise or imprecise. The more precise the argument, the stronger the argument. When a person's conclusion does not follow from its premises (i.e., previous statements), it violates a formal fallacy. An example of a formal fallacy would be the following:
All dogs are animals.
All cats are animals.
Therefore, all dogs are cats.
This argument commits a formal fallacy because the conclusion does not follow the premises. It commits the fallacy of the undistributed middle and will be covered in a later post. Now, don't start thinking that you need to take every conversation you have with your colleagues and put it into a formula (i.e., a syllogism). That would be incredibly impractical for the readers of this series and your friends. This will be clear later in the series, but for now let's talk about Material Fallacies.
Material fallacies are fallacies related to the content or meaning of our words. Communication breakdown occurs often between two parties due to the parties' using the same terms but in different ways or senses of the word. Thus, Peter Kreeft defines material fallacies in the following quote:
"Material fallacies . . . are mistakes in understanding the meaning or use of terms. . . .These material fallacies are found in the course of an argument, so they are called 'fallacies,' or mistakes in reasoning; but they are not mistakes in the logical form but mistakes in the content or matter or meaning" (Kreeft, Socratic Logic, 85).
This series will cover both formal and material fallacies, as presented by Peter Kreeft, in his book Socratic Logic. The first fallacy of this series on logic is called "The Fallacy of Equivocation."
The Equivocation Fallacy: "Who's Committing the Logical Fallacy?"
First, let's look at some definitions.
Peter Kreeft defines equivocation as "the simplest and most common of all the material fallacies. It means simply that the same term is used in two or more different senses in the course of an argument" (Kreeft, Socratic Logic, 71).
Here is a more technical definition from Francis H. Parker and Henry B. Veatch:
"Since human beings can engage in verbal duplicity in as many ways as they can create and use language, the varieties of ambiguity are manifold. . . . Equiviocation, or semantic or verbal ambiguity, [is] where the ambiguity attaches to a single word or phrase. . . ." (Parker and Veatch, Logic as a Human Instrument, 66).
One of my favorite examples of equivocation comes from the Abbot and Costello comedy routine, "Who's on First?" Within a few minutes of the video, it is clear which words are the subject of equivocation.
The equivocation is occurring because Abbott and Costello are not recognizing the different senses that a word can have. Although a funny example, the fallacy of equivocation is precisely why people share posts to Facebook and Twitter without reading the article.
Consider this hypothetical news headline: "Terror Strikes Customers at Haunted House." Now imagine I posted this hypothetical article to my Facebook account, without actually reading its contents, and said "Another terrorist attack, when will it end? We have to do something to stop terrorism." It is precisely this type of equivocation or ambiguity we have to guard ourselves from committing, especially in an era information.
But what about the form of an argument. "I pray to God, and you pray to God. We both pray to God." What term, in this sentence, is the ambiguous term being used? If you said "God," congratulations. What the term "God" means is different for different religions, and therefore the sentences above, commits the fallacy of equivocation.
Here is a final example. Ambiguous language is used in marketing regularly because the vagueness of a term is what piques someone's curiosity and moves them to further investigation. Here is a real-life example of equivocation being committed for "Click-bait": "Dolphins recruited to save porpoise from extinction."
In this case, the term is "Dolphins." This could mean the Miami Dolphins team being recruited to save an endangered species, or it could mean the underwater mammal dolphin. Sure enough, when you click on the article title, it takes you to a new headline "Trained dolphins recruited to locate, save elusive porpoise from extinction."
How to Avoid Equivocation
Now that we know what equivocation is and its various ways of expression, how can we avoid it? If you haven't figured it out already, it is solved by defining your terms clearly and consistently. Peter Kreeft proposes this solution to the challenges presented by equivocation:
"To expose the equivocation or double identity of the equivocal term, use these two steps.
(1) First identify the word or phrase that shifts its meaning.
(2) Then identify the two different meanings by using two different words or phrases"
(Kreeft, Socratic Logic, 71).
While equivocation is one of the most frequently committed fallacies, it is also one of the easiest to solve. Often a clarifying question, or little extra reading will give you enough understanding of the meaning of ambiguous terms:
"The golden rule here is: To unmake an ambiguity, make a distinction" (Kreeft, Socratic Logic, 72).

Os Coremas foram um grupo indígena pertencente à grande nação Cariris, que habitava o oeste do estado brasileiro da Paraíba, onde hoje está situada a cidade de Coremas. Tal povo teve como um dos líderes principais o cacique de nome Piancó. O vale que outrora era ocupado pela tribo é até hoje chamado de vale do Piancó.

Etimologia
Na língua dos índios locais, curemas quer dizer «assombro».

Características
Os Coremas ficaram conhecidos por serem bastante aguerridos e destemidos, tanto com as outras tribos tapuias como no contato direto com o colonizador. Foram, junto aos Panatis, os últimos  a  manterem  relações amigáveis com o homem civilizado. Eram  amantes de suas terras e tradições, o que os fizeram resistentes ao homem branco colonizador. Em virtude disso, foram necessários três anos para a conquista do vale do Piancó e do rio do Peixe.

Há inúmeros relatos sobre o caráter indomável desse povo em várias publicações históricas, entre elas os Anais da Biblioteca Nacional:

Viviam em inúmeras aldeias separadas por distâncias variadas, praticando rudimentarmente a pesca e a agricultura de subsistência (frutos silvestres e raízes).

Em um trecho do livro Guerreiros do sol: o banditismo no Nordeste do Brasil lê-se:

Histórico

Tratado de paz
Tempos depois da pacificação entre índios e colonizadores, deu-se o processo de catequização, realizado por missionários católicos, principalmente padres e frades. Por meio dessa influência, os então denominados «gentios» se tornavam cristãos à força, adotando a religião católica e começando a utilizar nomes aportuguesados. Isso logo os levou a adquirir novos costumes, fazendo-os esquecer aos poucos suas tradições selvagens.

Foi no governo de Dom João de Lencastre (1694–1702), da Bahia, que ocorreu a autorização para povoar e criar em definitivo as fazendas de gado na região do rio Piancó (autorizando inclusive, se necessário, exterminar as populações indígenas locais). Coube a ingrata tarefa ao capitão-mor Manoel de Araújo Carvalho, que segundo alguns historiadores, conseguiu  realizar um  acordo de paz entre os indígenas e colonizadores, favorecendo desse modo o início do povoamento da região.

Finalmente, já no governo português de Dom José I (1750–1777), seu primeiro-ministro Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo — o Marquês de Pombal —, nomeou o Juiz Miguel Pina de Caldeira Castelo Branco, residente em Olinda, Pernambuco para administrar a região. Este se tornou célebre por ter tomado algumas dezenas de medidas drásticas, dentre elas, aquela que autorizou as transferências maciças de populações locais indígenas. Com isso, enormes contingentes populacionais (tribos inteiras) foram transferidas de uma região para outra do Nordeste, normalmente bem distantes dos locais de origens. Isto contribuiu para o aniquilamento de inúmeras tribos devido as novas doenças, fome, isolamento dentre outros motivos, além da aculturação dos costumes e miscigenação.

Transferência e extinção
Os Coremas foram todos transferidos para regiões distantes do sertão, principalmente para o litoral, sendo uma das cidades escolhidas  Pilar, no agreste paraibano, onde já habitavam os  índios  Bultrins, também transferidos de suas terras ancestrais. Outra parte da tribo, contudo, foi trasladada no litoral do estado do Rio Grande do Norte, com promessas ardilosas. Esses acontecimentos históricos revelam por que os mais antigos habitantes do local não chegaram a conhecer os Coremas.

Pelo fato de não ter havido grande miscigenação entre os colonizadores e os índios daquela região, o município de Coremas não apresenta nenhum resquício  da cultura indígena que um dia esteve no local, apesar do topônimo de origem indígena.

Gunners given hope
Arsenal were last night waiting for Patrick Vieira to clarify his long-term future as the club were seemingly handed fresh hope in their bid to persuade him to stay at Highbury.
Real Madrid had been hoping to clinch Vieira's move to the Bernabeu by the weekend, with newspapers in Spain originally claiming that a deal of around #23m had already been agreed.
However, while some observers expected Vieira to be unveiled in Spain today, reports last night indicated the deal could have encountered a hitch and that Real had broken off negotiations.
Spanish newspaper As reported on their website that Real were unhappy because the fee had risen sharply yesterday, supposedly up from #22m to #25.5m, plus #3.4m in bonuses.
Real and Vieira are also said to still be far apart on wages, with the French midfielder thought to be seeking equal treatment to the existing `galacticos'.
The situation was, therefore, once again clouded in some uncertainty, with Arsenal left waiting to hear from Vieira himself as to his final decision within the next 48 hours.
Real could still force the deal through by increasing their offers to both Arsenal and Vieira, and the possibility remains that the Spanish club are simply playing hard-ball.
However, Vieira has only been given until this weekend to decide on his future by Arsene Wenger, who does not want the saga to affect his team's preparations for the new season, with their title defence starting at Everton on Sunday.
"Only Patrick can come out and clarify the situation now, and he needs to do that very quickly," declared Wenger after last Sunday's Community Shield.
Arsenal fans were last night still waiting to hear any public comments from Vieira, who has previously rejected overtures from Real but this time looked to have been persuaded to move - if the terms were right.
Arsenal, meanwhile, were making no official comment, while Real seemed to be pre-occupied with moves to take Michael Owen to the Bernabeu.
The Spanish club nevertheless have until August 31, when the transfer window closes, to complete the deal in time to have Vieira available, not only for the start of La Liga season, but also the Champions League group stages.
They have already taken a 2-0 lead from the away leg of their Champions League qualifying tie against Wisla Krakow, removing one potential stumbling block to 28-year-old midfielder's signature.
Wenger had been hoping to persuade his captain to stay at Highbury, proclaiming the Gunners to have as much chance of winning a trophy this season as the nine-times European champions.
Arsenal's interest in Michael Carrick seems to have cooled, while Wenger has played down a move for Porto's Maniche.

Amping Up the Collision Coefficient at BCG's New York Offices - Structure Tone
BCG's new space is simply stunning and is certainly turning heads throughout the commercial real estate industry.
Amping Up the Collision Coefficient at BCG's New York Offices
"Unlock insight." "Challenge established thinking." "Drive transformation." Reading through the mission of global firm Boston Consulting Group, it's no secret that encouraging innovation is in their DNA. It's only fitting then that when the company looked to relocate their New York City offices, they targeted a location like no other: the first tower built in Hudson Yards.
Go to https://structuretone.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/BCB-sm.jpg
Workspaces range from casual seating to formal meeting rooms.
The new office also marked a new chapter in the company's evolution—one that reflects their drive to be bold. From the fluid, neighborhood-style working areas to the design intended to produce casual "collisions" between employees, BCG senior partner and New York managing director Ross Love has said, "We didn't just change addresses; we changed the culture."
No two spaces alike
Geared around a community concept, the workplace offers just about any type of working or meeting pace one could ask for. Sit/stand work stations dot the neighborhood areas of the firm's six floors, while pen lounge areas, quiet nooks, large tables and various forms of seating fill the common areas. The office's many meeting rooms, both formal and informal, can be booked by an individual for a few minutes of private time or by a team working on a project for weeks at a stretch.
With these unique spaces come unique designs, which, says Structure Tone project manager Derek Hamilton, did pose some challenges. "Every single room is different. No finishes are the same, and the rooms are different shapes and different colors," he says. "We had to measure everything individually and we couldn't really order many of the materials in bulk. The company did, however, try to work with the same vendors to get the desired design variety at a more competitive price."
Because many of the company's employees are mobile throughout the week, working areas are meant to easily shift from one user to the next, depending who needs them. To that end, dedicated offices are few and far between in favor of a hot-desking system, with available private areas to offer focus space when needed. To keep track of who is where, employees and visitors check in to a desk on a tablet, which they can also use to reserve conference rooms and other spaces. The whole idea of this fluid workforce is to increase the office's "collision coefficient," or how often employees casually interact throughout the day. And it's not just an abstract theory—BCG actually tracked employee movements on a volunteer basis to see how it worked. "Volunteers wore devices that measured collisions through data on where they went, who they interacted with, how business units crossed. It's unbelievable," says Hamilton.
That connectivity also means the office's technology systems are critical. Each floor has its own IT room to house equipment, and the 126 individual offices each have their own one-touch IT/AV systems. In addition, the "venture" and "immersion" meeting rooms are equipped with collaborative screens, including a 24-by-6-foot Prysm touch screen canvas, that teams can use to brainstorm and modify ideas on the spot. "Many of these systems hadn't all worked together in one place before, so we were testing things out as we went," says Hamilton.
Construction within construction
But perhaps the biggest challenge in building out the space was doing so in a building—and on a site—that was still under construction itself. 10 Hudson Yards was the first to begin construction, and with leases quickly being signed, tenant fit outs began as soon as physically possible. BCG's space was one of four being built out at the same time, all while the base building was still finishing up. Issues facing the base building construction team often trickled down to the tenant space contractors, meaning coordination and communication were key. "With so many contractors on site, we sometimes lost elevator access for days," Hamilton says. "We just had to plan our work out the best we could and stay in constant communication with the base building owner to make sure we were always up to speed."
The results of that challenging work, however, are well worth the complexity. The new space is simply stunning and is certainly turning heads throughout the commercial real estate industry. In fact, BCG has had over 90 firms tour through the space for inspiration. "We knew we were doing something special while we were building it," says Hamilton. "But to see how happy they are with the space in the end is such rewarding proof. Everyone is just thrilled."

        type: 'POST',
        url: '@Url.Action("GetFilteredAAMaintenanceDetails", "AAMaintenance")',
        contentType: "application/json",
        dataType: 'json',
        data: JSON.stringify({ aaMaintenanceFilter: data }),
        success: function (result) {
            $('#AAMaintenance').data('kendoGrid').dataSource.data(result);
            $('#AAMaintenance').data('kendoGrid').refresh();
        }
    });
}

A: Assuming that the dataSource hasn't been setup for the Kendo grid control prior to the ajax call to retrieve the data, you should instantiate this before setting it as the datasource:
var ds = new kendo.data.DataSource({
    data: result
});

$("#AAMaintenance").data("kendoGrid").setDataSource(ds);

A few notes aside from this, and based on Telerik documentation:

*

*If the result returned from the server is a complex object (unknown currently), you may need to look into schema.model.

*Ensure that the column declaration field attributes match the names assigned to the object attributes you wish to display, for example note in this example how the field: "name" column matches the name attribute being added to the dataSource.
