Q: Finding value in a set with custom objects I have a class
class Node{
    int node;
    int g;
    int f;
    int parent;
}

and I've created a set with members of type Node
set<Node, MinCost> frontier;

where MinCost is the class for Ordering
class MinCost
{
    bool operator()(const Node &x, const Node &y)
    {
        return x.f < y.f;
    }
};

Now, I know a set must have unique values. In my set, the objects of Node are unique but the variable by which it is ordered (f) may not be.
So, would finding an object work as expected?
Would frontier.find(Node)return the correct value?

A: I don't believe this will work with std::set. You'll probably want to use a std::multiset instead and use equal_range() to find nodes with the same cost.
From cppreference:

Everywhere the standard library uses the Compare concept, uniqueness is determined by using the equivalence relation. In imprecise terms, two objects a and b are considered equivalent if neither compares less than the other: !comp(a, b) && !comp(b, a).

In other words, when you say the two Node objects are not equal, that's completely irrelevant to std::set, which only defines equality as defined by the provided comparison. So even insertion into std::set won't do what you expect.

Tom Paxton is one of the great songwriters of his generation. His place in folk music is secured not just by hit records and awards, but by the admiration of three generations of fellow musicians.
"I have sung Tom's songs for four decades and will go on doing so, for they are beautiful and timeless." (Judy Collins)
"Tom Paxton embodies the spirit of folk music in the most beautiful sense. Not just in his song crafting, his work ethic, his politics and his dedication to people's music, but also in his kind and generous heart. (Ani DiFranco)
"Every folk singer I know has either sung a Tom Paxton song, is singing a Tom Paxton song or will soon sing a Tom Paxton song. (Holly Near)
"Thirty years ago Tom Paxton taught a generation of traditional folksingers that it was noble to write your own songs, and, like a good guitar, he just gets better with age, " observes Guy Clark. Paxton has been an integral part of the songwriting and folk music community since his early success in the early 60's Greenwich Village coffeehouses, The Gaslight and The Bitter End.
He has performed thousands of concerts around the world in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Hong Kong, Scandinavia, France, Italy, Belgium, Holland, England, Scotland, Ireland and Canada. That these fans still enjoy his work is a testament to the quality of his recent work, and to the enduring power of modern standards like The Last Thing On My Mind, Ramblin' Boy, Bottle Of Wine, Whose Garden Was This?, Goin' To The Zoo and The Marvelous Toy. Paxton's catalog of hundreds of songs (recorded by artists running the gamut from Willie Nelson to Placido Domingo,) serve to document Tom Paxton's 50-year career.
Tom received a 2009 Lifetime Achievement Award from the Recording Academy during the 51st Annual GRAMMY® Awards. He was nominated for a GRAMMY for Comedians and Angels in 2007, and Live in the U.K. in 2006. He was also nominated for GRAMMYS in 2003 for his Appleseed Records CD, Looking For The Moon, and in 2002 for his children's CD, Your Shoes, My Shoes. He has received the Lifetime Achievement Award from ASCAP, and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the BBC in London.

Utilities commission changes community choice exit fees; what happens now in San Diego?
The California Public Utilities Commission voted Thursday to adjust the amount of exit fees power customers who opt for Community Choice Aggregation will pay each month, effective next year.
(Matthew Lewis / Getty Images)
By Rob Nikolewski
The California Public Utilities Commission approved an increase on the exit fees charged to customers who take part in Community Choice Aggregation — government-run alternatives to traditional utilities like San Diego Gas & Electric.
After reviewing two competing exit fee proposals, all five commissioners voted Thursday in favor of an adjustment that many CCA advocates predicted could hamper the growth of the community choice movement.
For the record:
7:10 PM, Oct. 11, 2018This story has been corrected to show that the Downtown San Diego Partnership is one of the members of the Clear the Air Coalition.
But minutes after the vote was announced, one of the leading voices in favor of the city San Diego establishing its own CCA said the decision was good news because it provides some regulatory certainty.
"For us in San Diego, it's a green light to move forward with community choice," said Nicole Capretz, executive director of the Climate Action Campaign. "For us, it's let's go, let's launch and let's give families a choice. We no longer have to wait."
Under the CCA model, utilities still maintain transmission and distribution lines (poles and wires, etc.) and handle customer billing. But officials in a given local government entity make the final decisions about what kind of power sources are purchased.
Once a CCA is formed, its customers must pay an exit fee — called a Power Charge Indifference Adjustment — to the legacy utility serving that particular region. The fee is included in customers' monthly bills.
The fee is required to offset the costs of the investments utilities made over the years for things like natural gas power plants, renewable energy facilities and other infrastructure.
Utilities argue if the exit fee is set too low, it does not fairly compensate them for their investments; if it's too high, CCAs complain it reduces the financial incentive for their potential customers.
The Public Utilities Commission chose to adopt a proposal that some said was more favorable to utilities, leading to complaints from CCA boosters.
"We see this will really throw sand in the gears in our ability to do things that can move us toward (climate change) goals," Jim Parks, staff member of Valley Clean Energy, a CCA based in Davis, said before the vote.
Commissioner Carla Peterman, who authored the proposal that passed, said she supports CCAs but stressed the commission has a "legal obligation" to make sure increased costs are not shouldered by "customers who do not, or cannot, join a CCA. Today's proposal ensures a more level playing field between customers."
As for what the vote means for the exit fee in San Diego, Peterman's office earlier in the week estimated the charge would rise from 2.5 cents a kilowatt-hour to about 4.25 cents.
The Clear the Air Coaltion, a San Diego County group critical of CCAs, said the newly established exit fee — which goes into effect starting next year — is "a step in the right direction."
But the group, which includes the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, the Downtown San Diego Partnership and lobbyists for Sempra Energy (the parent company of SDG&E), repeated concerns it has brought up before.
"If the city of San Diego decides to get into the energy business this decision means ratepayers in National City, Chula Vista, Carlsbad, Imperial Beach, La Mesa, El Cajon and all other neighboring communities would see higher energy bills, and San Diego taxpayers would be faced with mounting debt," coalition spokesman Tony Manolatos said in an email.
CCA supporters say community choice is critical to ensure San Diego meets the pledge made by Mayor Kevin Faulconer to adopt the city's Climate Action Plan, mandating 100 percent of the city's electricity needs must come from renewable sources by 2035.
Now attention turns to Faulconer, who promised to make a decision on bringing a CCA proposal to the San Diego City Council only after the utilities commission made its decision.
A Faulconer spokesman said Thursday afternoon that the vote "provides the clarity we've been waiting for to move forward" but did not offer a specific time table.
"We're on schedule to reach Mayor Faulconer's goal of choosing a pathway that achieves our renewable energy goals while also protecting ratepayers, and the mayor looks forward to making his recommendation in the next few weeks," said Craig Gustafson, a Faulconer spokesman, in an email.
A feasibility study released last year predicted a CCA in San Diego has the potential to deliver cheaper rates over time than SDG&E's current service, while providing as much as 50 percent renewable energy by 2023 and 80 percent by 2027.
"The city has already figured out we are still capable of launching a program, having competitive, affordable rates and finally offering families a choice as to who their energy provider is," said Capretz, who helped draft an initial blueprint of the climate plan as a city staffer.
SDG&E has come to the city with a counterproposal that offers 100 percent renewables by 2035.
Thus far, the utility has produced a rough outline for a "tariff" program that would charge ratepayers the cost of delivering more clean sources of energy over time.
Some council members have expressed frustration more specifics have not been sketched out.
SDG&E officials said they will take the new exit fee into account as they go forward with their counterproposal to the city council.
Speaking in general about the utility commission's decision, SDG&E spokeswoman Helen Gao called it "a victory for our customers, as it minimizes the cost shifts that they have been burdened with under the existing fee formula.
"As commissioners noted in rendering their decision, reforming the (exit fee) addresses a customer-to-customer equity issue and has nothing to do with increasing profits for investor-owned utilities," Gao said in an email.

Prosecutors Let One Blagojevich Off the Hook
By Dawn Reiss / Chicago Friday, Aug. 27, 2010
Kiichiro Sato / AP
Robert Blagojevich, brother of the former Illinois governor, speaks to the media at the Federal Court building in Chicago on Aug. 17, 2010
The Blagojevich Case: Like the Ali-Frazier Rivalry?
Photos: Blagojevich heads to prison
Blagojevich's Defense Fund Is Empty: Who Will Pay for His Trial?
Robert Blagojevich couldn't believe the text message on his phone Thursday morning. It was from his defense attorney Michael Ettinger: "They have dismissed the charges." His wife Julie began crying. "Wait until we know everything for sure," Robert Blagojevich told her.
Five minutes later, a phone call from Ettinger. "You're a free man," he said. The older brother (and co-defendant) of former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich was facing four charges, down from an original five, that related to the attempted sale of the vacant Senate seat of Barack Obama and alleged extortion to raise money for the governor's campaign. A jury last week was hung on Rod Blagojevich's charges; the ex-governor was convicted on one of the 24 counts against him and likely faces a retrial.
(See TIME's photo-essay "The Remarkable World of Rod Blagojevich.")
"Oh, my God. You're kidding," Robert Blagojevich says he exclaimed as his wife began sobbing hysterically. "It was the best kind of tears I've ever seen, joyful tears. I was in total disbelief. A year and half of this nightmare and it is finally over." He bear-hugged her before they collapsed onto the sofa, cradled in each other's arms. He later told defense attorney Cheryl Schroeder, "I don't know what I'm going to do with the rest of my life." "It's a pretty good problem to have," Schroeder told him.
(Is the Blagojevich case like the Ali-Frazier rivalry?)
Just a day earlier, the government had made a last-minute offer to Robert Blagojevich, 55, that would have allowed him to be tried separately from the former governor, but he refused, opting to take his chances in court. "They asked if we would agree to a severance and agree to go second and we said absolutely no," Schroeder said via text message. "The next thing we heard, they were dropping charges."
Prosecutor Reid Schar said Thursday the government wouldn't retry Robert Blagojevich due to the "disparity in charges." "We had no idea this was going to happen," Schroeder said during a phone conversation. "It was the right thing to do. We thought Rob testified well. You know it when even some of the jurors were saying, 'Let him go. Send him home' ... We all hoped this would happen, but we never believed it would actually happen. To put him through this again would have been a travesty, but we know the federal government and [U.S. Attorney] Patrick Fitzgerald, we figured they would do a retrial anyway. We never expected them to do this."
(See the 25 crimes of the century.)
During their trial, Robert Blagojevich always looked better in comparison to his brother. Unlike the former governor, Robert Blagojevich did take the witness stand, preparing for it by poring through the transcripts of the FBI wiretaps that were central to the prosecution case. "The government apparently thinks their case is stronger when Robert isn't sitting there; with one less team of attorneys, it may work to their advantage," says Daniel Purdom, a former assistant U.S. Attorney in Chicago.
Does Robert Blagojevich have any advice for his brother Rod Blagojevich, who was convicted of lying to the FBI, which carries a maximum five-year prison sentence and $250,000 fine, and who is also likely to face the rest of the hung charges in a new trial? "I'm in no position to give my brother advice," Robert Blagojevich says. "He wouldn't listen anyway. He's got his lawyers, he's smart and he's got money. He'll figure it out." The brothers had grown increasingly estranged during the trial.
Right now, Robert Blagojevich says he's going to think of himself, not his brother. "I'm feeling very selfish, I'm going to start focusing on living the rest of my life, traveling and celebrating," Robert Blagojevich says. "I've got to get back to my business and making money." Robert Blagojevich says the trial cost him close to $1 million, which he obtained by taking a second mortgage out on his home he purchased for $867,997 in 2002 in Nashville, Tenn., and liquidating his and his wife's IRAs.
Still, Robert Blagojevich may yet become a key witness for his brother. When asked if he'd be willing to testify or help his brother, Robert Blagojevich says, "If he asks for my help, I'd consider it." Rod Blagojevich's defense attorney Sam Adam Sr. said they may subpoena Robert Blagojevich since he will no longer be a co-defendant in the retrial of the former governor.
Meanwhile, Rod Blagojevich is seeking taxpayer assistance by way of the Criminal Justice Act's Federal Defender Program, which can provide court-appointed attorneys. He had used up his entire $2.6 million campaign fund during the trial. Robert Blagojevich, at his brother's request, had assumed the chair of the Friends of Blagojevich fundraising campaign that raised that amount.
Read about how Rod Blagojevich's defense fund grew empty.

16 and 17 year olds to be moved out of Rikers Island
NEW YORK (AP) -- New York City officials say 16- and 17-year-old inmates will be moved off the troubled Rikers Island jail complex and into a Bronx youth facility.
Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio announced the $300 million, four-year plan Thursday. It's subject to land use, planning and community approval.
New York and North Carolina are the only two states that automatically prosecute 16- and 17-year-olds as adults. Legislative efforts to raise the age of criminal responsibility statewide have failed.
Almost all the 188 teens held on Rikers are awaiting trial. That's down from 337 in 2013.
Federal prosecutors have urged that the teens be moved off Rikers since a 2014 investigation found they were routinely abused.
De Blasio says age-appropriate housing will help teens return to the right path.

Jones Act Attorneys Review Hurricane Sandy's Effects on New Jersey Fishermen
New Jersey is the fourth-smallest state in the country by total area, but it has the most inhabitants per square mile of any of the 50 states. It is bordered on the east by the Atlantic Ocean, but the state also falls within the vicinity of the major metropolitan areas of New York City and Philadelphia. The Garden State is known for its commercial groundfishing, clam and shell fishing industries. Ports in New Jersey include the Port of Camden, Gloucester Marine Terminal, Port of Newark, Port of Bayonne, Port of Camden, Cape May Harbor, Port of Elizabeth, Gloucester Marine Terminal, Port of Hackensack, Port of Newark, Cape May Terminal, Port of Paulsboro, Deepwater Point, Port of Pennsauken, Port of Perth Amboy, Port Norris Harbor and Port of Trenton.
New Jersey fishermen were hit hard by Hurricane Sandy. In requesting a federal disaster declaration for the state last November, Governor Chris Christie said New Jersey's commercial and recreational fishing industries generate about $2.7 billion in combined economic activity. "The storm resulted in significant losses for the industry, damaging or destroying vessels, ports, facilities, and equipment," Christie said. "It also left coastal areas that the industry needs severely damaged or inaccessible. This declaration will help the fishing industry obtain immediate disaster relief assistance and help it cope during this time of great economic loss and hardship."
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that the Garden State's commercial fishing industry landed 175 million pounds of tuna, flounder, crabs, clams, oysters, mullet, and other shellfish and finfish in 2011, seafood that was worth about $1.3 billion. In a report on the impact of Hurricane Sandy on New Jersey, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said the commercial fishing industry generated $6.6 billion in sales, contributed $2.4 billion to gross state product and supported 44,000 jobs across the broader state economy.
Sports and Transportation
New Jersey has various professional sports teams in the area and has many great stadiums to host them at, including the Prudential Center, Red Bull Arena and MetLife Stadium, which is set to host the 2014 Super Bowl XLVIII. New Jersey is also the birthplace of much of the nation's music industry and was the birthplace of FM radio and is the home of Roc-A-Fella records. New Jersey has ferries for transportation on the Delaware Bay operated by the Delaware River and Bay Authority and ferries at almost every harbor for travel. New Jersey's main airport is Newark Liberty International Airport, one of the busiest airports in the U.S. There's also the Atlantic City International Airport and Trenton-Mercer Airport within the state.

JNN 12 Jan 2014 Manama : The Bahraini regime has suspended reconciliation talks with Shia opposition leaders amid ongoing protests in the country. Security forces in Bahrain have attacked anti-regime protesters in a village west of the capital, Manama, wounding two people.
The Bahrain News Agency said on Wednesday that the national dialog ended after the opposition said in September last year that it would not participate in talks.
The opposition's decision followed the detention of Khalil al-Marzooq, the spokesman for the al-Wefaq National Islamic Society, Bahrain's main opposition party.
Meanwhile, pro-democracy protests were held in several towns, including Sanabis and Samahis.

In May 2013, Asia won the King Ryan Music Showcase where she was the only Kid/Teen Artist. Asia was a nominee for the 2013 Atlanta's Entertainment Music Award for the Hottest Rising Superstar. She has also released two singles and is currently in the studio working on her EP. Asia is a member of the Clean Music Movement and will be on the 2014 Armed Forces No Bullying Tour.
Asia has just dropped her new single and music video, "Party Tonight". Sugary, radio-friendly cuts like this single are pure polite, cutesy teen-R&B fare which are very difficult for the ear to ignore. To top it all, Asia is also a very cute, photogenic young girl, which just adds more spice to the sugar!
Does she deliver? You bet she does. And she does so, delivering through all the hype attached to her young age. She's just a natural, throwing out her vocals to epic proportions, displaying her talent and range.
Her song and video performance is fun, upbeat yet mellow and easy on the ear, and her voice does have a nice kick and sweetness to it that makes the whole package very enjoyable indeed.
Asia is really melodic with her vocals, and sings with smooth sweetness. Be on the lookout for this upcoming artist, as she is on the verge of something new and fresh in the R&B/Pop scene!

UKRSPECSYSTEMS launch rail
UAVs are crucial for intelligence and observation, so the launching system is of great importance due to possible challenging circumstances. Sometimes it's barely impossible to launch the unmanned aerial vehicle from the runway. And that's the reason why UKRSPECSYSTEMS designed the bungee catapult launcher SCL-1A.
Bungee catapult launcher SCL-1A is constructed to start UAVs with MTOW up to 10 kg at a speed of 25 m/s (90 km/h). It also can perform launches despite harsh weather conditions and in the temperature range from -15° to +40°C.
The bungee UAV launcher functions autonomously and is powered by a lead-acid battery. The quantity of launches relies on the capacity of the battery, its charge, and the environmental temperature, securing up to 9 launches. Also, a car accumulator may be used as a power supply source.
Launch control is performed by the remote wire control panel up to 100 m long. The tension may be altered in two modes: manual and automatic. Also, tension can be tracked by the indicator of the electronic dynamometer.
And one more thing: bungee UAV launcher SCL-1A may be assembled by two persons within 15 minutes.
UKRSPECSYSTEMS offers a complete educational course, involving theoretical and practical training to control the bungee UAV launching system for its clients.

The One Law Part 2
Kowloon Edge Cafe was the most distinctive building on the block. Against a row of faded reds and greys, it was the only patch painted in black and saffron. The block stood in the shadow of the Kowloon Arcology, a strange amalgamation of concrete and metal blocks fused into an oddly coherent whole.
Thick dark clouds gathered overhead. A message from the Hong Kong Observatory appeared in his eyes: a thunderstorm was expected within the hour.
He parked his motortrike in front of the cafe. As he pulled off his helmet a trace of ash graced his nostrils. The signs on the doors and windows promised cheap rates, fast Internet speeds and 'secure browsing'. The last was an underworld promise to breach the Great Firewall. The price of access was just thirty Hong Kong dollars an hour, and a payload of malware to capture your online and cybernetic data for the highest bidder. Bobby's first job was to refresh and randomise the viral cocktail every couple of hours, and Vincent's first task was to pass on the compromised data to Cybercrime.
The door sign said 'closed', the smarttint windows were set to maximum opacity, but strips of light peeked through the gaps around the door. Bobby pushed the door open.
"Bobby!" Max said. "Come, come!"
Max was nestled in the lounge at the far end of the cafe. The gangster stood, grinning, spreading his arms in welcome. His bionic eyes were glassy, his cheeks flushed. Max had a bootleg version of Vincent's medical implants, which Max regularly overrode at will. The undercover cop wondered what the hell Max had snorted this time.
Bobby Song approached Max, looking around. "Where's everyone?" Bobby asked. Then he noticed a green metal crate behind a coffee table. "What's that?"
Max grinned like a wolf. "It's the surprise. Come, sit. We have something very important to talk about."
They sat, Max on a large sofa, Bobby on the couch next to him.
"Now, siewdai," Max said, calling Bobby 'little brother'. "You're a very hard worker. You've done a lot for the crew and we all respect you for that."
Bobby smiled slightly, shaking his head. "Aiyah, gweijeung lah." You praise me too much.
Max waved his words away. "No, you deserve it. And tonight, your hard work is going to pay off."
Bobby's face lit up. "Really? How?"
Max chuckled. "Hey, relax. I'll tell you when the crew gets here."
There were about forty people in Max's gang. But most of them were errand boys, associates, and other small fry. Only eight of them were in his crew, his inner circle.
"All right," Bobby said, trying and failing to hide his disappointment.
"I wish Fish Head Chow were here," Max said. "He would have wanted in on this."
Bobby nodded. Three weeks ago, Chow went to an underground surgeon to install an illegal American implant, encrypting the contents of his neural memory chips. Then Chow developed an exotic brain infection. Bobby told Max he broke the surgeon's hands and warned him never to work in Kowloon again. In reality the surgeon was languishing in a prison cell. Chow was still in hospital though. An aboveworld hospital.
"Eh, Bobby, how's Amy? Your girlfriend?" Max asked.
"Really? What happened?"
"She said she couldn't stand being with a 'big shot triad gangster'. She said she'd call the police if I ever saw her again."
Actually, Amy said she couldn't deal with the stress of dating a cop. Especially an undercover. Max didn't need to know that.
Max shook his head. "Shit. Sorry man. But don't worry. You're our brother. We'll always be here for you."
"Yeah. I have your back too, dailo," Vincent lied.
The men bumped fists. Traded small talk for lies until the rest of the crew streamed in.
Vincent clenched his jaw three times. The same rolodex appeared, and Vincent flipped it to Loke's page. A small text box appeared at the bottom of Vincent's view.
The crew is all here, Vincent thought. Looks like Max is going to brief us.
The app transcribed his thoughts into the box. Vincent clenched his jaw once. A tick appeared next to the box.
The box scrolled up, showing Loke's reply: Give me a live feed.
Max stood up to address the crew. Vincent blinked hard, twice. 'REC' appeared in green at the top left corner of his sight. He blinked once more, focused a thought, and the word turned to 'REC/F: Eugene Loke'. He looked up at Max.
"All of you know what happened earlier tonight at Uncle Poh's place," Max said. "I know who did it."
Is backup coming? Vincent asked.
"Who?" one of the gangsters asked.
"Big Nose Jiang," Max said.
On the way, Loke replied. Give us more intel.
"How did you know?" Vincent asked.
"Simple," Max replied, grinning. "One of the shooters forgot to update his firewalls. I hacked his wetware, grabbed his memory, and placed an interceptor app in his eyes and ears. That's how I saw Big Nose Jiang."
The crew cheered. So did Bobby, slapping Max on the back.
"Jiang lives in an apartment inside the Arcology," Max continued. "His crew is having a party there. They've got blow, they've got girls, they won't expect us coming. You all know Jiang's been on our asses since we started moving open-access printers and wetware. It's time for some payback, boys!"
The other gangsters shouted in approval. Bobby went along. When things quietened, Bobby spoke up.
"Jiang and his crew have automatics, right? How are we going to fight them?"
Max grinned. "Don't worry. Once they're high on drugs and ass, they'll be slow. Too slow to react to this."
Max reached down and heaved the crate onto the table. With a theatrical flourish, he snapped the locks open and lifted the lid.
"Holy shit," Bobby said.
The crate had two compartments. The first held guns. Eight pistols, held in place by custom-designed built-in holsters. The other stored magazines and bullets in clear plastic boxes. Blank flesh masks lay atop the boxes.
I need the Special Duties Unit, Vincent sent. This is going to get ugly.
The gangsters stared at the guns in awe. Max chortled. "We have guns of our own. Uncle Poh printed all of this for us. The guns, the bullets, the masks, everything. They're totally untraceable."
Vincent fought back a grimace. Open-access printers could create damn near anything with the right feedstock and schematics. It was only a matter of time before every gang in Hong Kong had guns.
Acknowledged. Try to stall Max until SDU arrives, Loke said.
"I knew we could count on you, boss!" Bobby said.
"Shit's going down!" another gangster said.
"All of you, take one gun, two magazines, one mask and one box of bullets each," Max ordered.
"That's all. Don't do anything more until I say so."
They lined up to get their gear. Vincent inspected his gun. It was a SIG P3850, Hong Kong Police Force standard issue. Bobby played with it, ignoring Vincent's screams to watch the muzzle and the trigger.
"I know some of you have never used a gun before," Max said. "That's why I have a HKPF training program for all of you."
The program floated along Hong Kong's ubiquitous wireless signals and knocked at the door of Vincent's firewalls. Vincent ran the program before during training. It couldn't replace actual training. It couldn't teach tactics and muscle memory. All it did was teach weapon safety and handling. Marksmanship, according to HKPF policy, was taught solely on the range.
Bobby accepted the program. And this time, he was much more careful with the muzzle and trigger. As were the others.
"Okay, now load your guns," Max said.
Bobby did. His hands moved fluidly, easily, inserting one bullet after the other into the magazines. He'd done this countless times before in the Police College. He slid one magazine into the pistol, and the other into his pants pocket. He chambered a round, flipped the safety on and shoved the gun into his waistband.
Where's the SDU? Vincent asked.
15 minutes away.
I don't have 5.
Improvise.
"What's the plan, boss?" Bobby asked.
Max spun to address everyone. "Listen up. Soon as we're done here, we'll split up and go to the Arcology separately. Put your masks on before you get there. Jiang lives in Golden Crown Apartments. It's on the ground floor of Building C, in the North Wing. We'll meet outside the entrance and go in together. There are two guards at a desk in front of the door. The lift is keycard locked, so we'll take one from the security guards. We go up to the tenth floor, to apartment 1032. Then we kick down the door and get to work."
Vincent phrased his next question very carefully, for the prosecutor, the defence lawyer, the judge and the jury.
"Hold on. What do you mean by 'get to work'?"
"We'll kill them," Max said simply.
Vincent believed him. Max had three suspected murders to his name. At least.
"You sure about that?" Bobby asked.
Max's voice chilled. "You questioning me?"
Bobby shook his head. "No, what I mean is, word on the street says Jiang and his crew are signing up with 22H. If we kill them, 22H might think it's an act of war."
The excitement in the room died.
"Where did you hear that from?" Max asked.
Vincent heard it from Eugene Loke. Bobby shrugged, keeping his expression neutral. "From Willy Leung and his friends. You know how they like to suck up to 22H."
Max froze. Vincent noticed that everyone in the room had a loaded gun...but he was the only one whose gun was in his pants. Bobby kept his face studiously neutral.
Max laughed.
"Willy Leung? Aiyah, don't worry, that mohlan just likes to talk big. Besides, we're operating in Peng Seng Hui turf and pay our taxes to Chairman Kong. If 22H moves against us, Peng Seng Hui will back us up."
"Okay..." Bobby said, his face unconvinced.
Max slapped Bobby's shoulder. "Siewdai, don't worry. We're all brothers here. If trouble comes, we'll all stick together, right?"
"Yes dailo," Bobby said.
"Ah, speaking of brotherhood, one more thing," Max said, keeping his hand on Bobby. "In our business, there is only one law. The law of blood. There is only one law a rat or undercover cop can't break. They can't murder someone. To be one of us, you need to kill someone. Tonight is Bobby's initiation. Tonight, Bobby is going to be one of us!"
Can't stall them any longer. Where is the SDU?
The killers cheered. Bobby nodded. "Thank you dailo. It's a great honour."
The SDU team leader wants to take them down at Jiang's apartment.
Vincent almost lost control. Almost.
That's insane! People are going to die!
Max released Bobby. "All right boys. Time to hit the road. See you in ten minutes."
Not my call. SDU is moving to the complex. You have to be there too.
Vincent clenched his fists. Tensed his jaw. Finally, he sent, Roger.

Between the 30th September and 4th October, the 11th annual jewellery and watch exhibition Junwex Moscow took place in the capital. Two of the All Russia Exhibition Centre's (VVTs) pavilions played host to a number of representatives of the major Russian jewellery brands as well as giving a few first timers the chance to show off their wares.
The exhibition is designed as much for professional buyers as major retailers and featured a presentation detailing the composition of today's Russian jewellery sector. While the Moscow jewellery scene can hardly be said to compete with its Western and Asian counterparts, there was still plenty on offer worth seeing, and my Moscow reporters Katya and Isabella have chosen a handful of the most striking jewellery brands showing of their latest work at Junwex.
Master Exclusive kick off the list, a brand who is familiar to most of my readers. They regularly take part in jewellery exhibitions of this kind all over the world, bringing their own distinctive artistic style. Their 2015 collection is full of rich colours – as the brand's founder, Andrei Platonov, puts it, "Our designers never get bored." And who could even talk of boredom when it comes to these marvellous brooches and rings in this latest selection. Bright enamel combined with colourful gemstones – a maelstrom of colour which not even a Moscow autumn could claim to rival!
Moving on to the Gevorgian stand, where a couple of their new rings caught our eye with their striking combination of stones and technical innovation. These massive but comfortable and vibrant jewellery designs have a story to tell: the design of their rings is, as a rule, based around a central stone (in this case predominantly opals), which serves as the cornerstone of the plot that is then woven around it. Their 'Black Lily' ring deserves particular attention, with its two-in-one design which allows you to wear the ring in two distinct ways.
Tulupov Jewelry is another name on the Russian jewellery map. Their approach to jewellery design is characterised by the use of rare, exceptionally high quality stones, careful preservation and development of the best classical traditions. This year they brought over from Ekaterinburg a series of original cocktail rings featuring baroque pearls, tourmalines and opals.
The atmosphere of a ballet hall surrounds the Sasonko stand, where the brand showed off their new collections: Ballet Premiere, Ballet Concept and Ballet Cocktail, in which the designers have played around with their favourite theme, the tutu, using high quality aquamarines, amethysts and emeralds as their starring stones. We particularly liked the elegant perforations incorporated into the jewellery of the Concept collection, which made even their wonderful necklace look delicate and light.
Now I have shed a bit of light on the brightest pieces of this season, all that's left to be done is wait for the next exhibition, which will take place in Moscow in March of 2016. Further information about that show can be found on their website: www.junwex-msk.ru.

Following a series of retail design projects for Selfridges and Villa Moda, the practice was commissioned to design the Headquarters of Four Marketing Fashion Group and a house in north London for one of the Directors of the company. Working with a triangular site, formerly the nursery garden to the Eton Estate, the practice was responsible for the refurbishment and extension of the existing red-brick proto Arts and Craft house.
The exterior of the house appears to have been faithfully restored but in fact has been seamlessly remodelled and extended to create a generous double-height entrance space leading to bedrooms and bathrooms for the family and guests. In addition a contemporary extension forms a protected courtyard and follows the dynamic triangular geometry of the site to create glazed kitchen, dining and living with a study space perched like a tree house at the upper level overlooking the green roof. The new roof structure is supported on four internal columns only with long cantilevers only possible by the fabrication of the roof as a stressed skin with steel plates welded to the top and bottom of the structural beams. As a result, the outside wall is an uninterrupted ribbon of full height glass and sliding glass doors which open onto a green landscape designed by one of Eldridge London's collaborators over a number of years, the acclaimed landscape designer Jinny Blom. This house in the Eton Conservation Area won a Royal Institute of British Architects RIBA Award.

The Literature
Viral Skeleton
A newly discovered family of tubulins—members of the cytoskeleton—encoded by bacteriophages plays a role in arranging the location of DNA within virus's bacterial host.
PhuZed Phage: When phage infect bacteria, host proteins begin transcribing a viral gene to produce PhuZ proteins (1), which form tubulin-like polymers that elongate from each pole of the cell (2). The filaments position replicating viral DNA at the cell's center (3). Newly made viral DNA is encased in capsids (4), and released by lysis from the cell after final assembly (5) to infect other bacteria.
EDITOR'S CHOICE IN STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY
J.A. Kraemer et al., "A phage tubulin assembles dynamic filaments by an atypical mechanism to center viral DNA within the host cell," Cell, 149:1488-99, 2012.
Until a few years ago, the cytoskeleton was thought to be a structure unique to eukaryotes, but a stream of discoveries in the past decade has shown that prokaryotes also have actin- and tubulin-like components. Tubulins are proteins that form microtubules, which manage everything from sorting genetic material during...
The initial discovery relied on a simple database search for tubulin-resembling genes in the genome of a bacteriophage that infects Pseudomonas chlororaphis bacteria. The team named the family PhuZ for phage tubulin/FtsZ—FtsZ being a bacterial tubulin. In characterizing the structure of PhuZ, the researchers found that it forms filaments like other tubulins, but in a unique way. Individual monomers of tubulin proteins typically connect with one another longitudinally to form filaments, but Agard and his colleagues found that the distance between PhuZ monomers in this chain is much greater than that among any other tubulins known. "To me, that hints at unexpected properties, and unexpected properties are always good!" says Agard. Instead of having more robust longitudinal contacts, monomers of PhuZ have an extension at one end—the carboxy terminus—that acts like a bridge to span and strengthen the links of the PhuZ filament.
To examine the novel protein's function, the group tagged PhuZ with green fluorescent protein. They observed that PhuZ formed filaments that extended across the host cell, from pole to pole, and that also touched the phage DNA clustered in the middle of the cell.
The researchers also studied a mutant form of PhuZ, which lacked the protein's ability to assemble and disassemble dynamically, and instead assembled permanently into a polymer. They found that in most cases, the DNA cluster no longer localized to the middle of the cell. And a third of cells infected with mutant-PhuZ phages had more than one viral DNA cluster. The mutant protein also reduced the replication capacity of the phage by about half. The results led Agard's group to suspect that because DNA positioning affected replication numbers, the PhuZ protein could be critical to the phage's overall ability to infect its bacterial host.
Jan Löwe at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology says that the findings add to the growing expanse of research on non-eukaryotic cytoskeletons. "I think this is a great example of what's still to come," he says.

Constitutional Court Granted Two Complaints of Religious Organizations
Constitutional Court of Georgia granted two complaints of religious associations on July 3, 2018. According to the position of the plaintiffs, certain provisions of the Tax Code and the law on State Property of Georgia violates Article 14 of the Constitution and creates the discriminatory environment for religious organizations.
In both cases, the interests of the plaintiffs are represented by the Tolerance and Diversity Institute (TDI) and the Tbilisi Free University Constitutional Law Clinic.
The Complaint of Religious Organizations on Unequal Tax Regime
The Court declared unconstitutional Article 168 (paragraph 2, subsection "b") according to which building, restoration and painting of temples and churches ordered by the Patriarchate of Georgian Orthodox Church (GOC) is exempted from the value-added tax (VAT). The disputed article placed the GOC in favorable condition in terms of purchasing the services.
Therefore, 8 religious organizations[1] applied to the Court with the constitutional complaint (#671) in October 2015.
Complaint of Religious Organizations on discriminatory Provisions of the Law on State Property
The Constitutional Court of Georgia declared unconstitutional the legal provision of Georgian Law on State Property that provides privilege exclusively for GOC to receive the state property free of charge (Article 6 (3) paragraph 1).
Five Religious Entities[2] applied to the Court with the constitutional complaint (#811) on 21 July 2016.
According to the explanation of the respondent party - the parliament of Georgia, the legitimate aim of the disputed articles (privileges for GOC) is recognition of the special role of the GOC in the history of Georgia.
In its decision the Court noted: "recognition of the special role of the church is related to its historical contribution and does not serve the purpose to create privileged legal conditions for the GOC at present time. The historical role should not be considered as the source of privileged legitimacy. Differentiation and creation of a legally predominant condition is not and should not be the goal of the constitution[...] Granting certain rights to the GOC does not imply creation of obstacles for other religious organizations to enjoy the same rights ".
In both decisions, the Constitutional Court outlined that discrimination could be eliminated by a complete abolition of the reviewed privileges, as well as by its equal application for all religious organizations. According to the Court, the unconstitutional articles will be declared invalid after December 31, 2018.
Religious organizations have been demanding the elimination of inequality in Georgian legislation and the change of the discriminatory environment for many years. The problem have been systematically reflected in the reports of the Public Defender of Georgia and international and local organizations.
Both decisions of the Constitutional Court represent an important step forward in creating equal environment for religious communities.
TDI and Tbilisi Free University Law Clinic will further defend the interests of religious organizations and will apply to the Constitutional Courts of Georgia again regarding other legislative provisions, that create unequal conditions for religious organizations.
TDI provides legal aid and strategic litigation in the frame of the project "Combatting Religious, Ethnic and Racial Discrimination in Georgia" with the support of East-West Management Institute's (EWMI) project Promoting Rule of Law in Georgia (PROLoG) funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

Some bright spark "borrowed" the batteries from our class 31 loco to get their Class 25 moving. They failed to return them and the loco sat for 18 months with them still in it.
On eventually recovering them, it was found that 12 were absolutely shot and a further 9 were "borderline".
The man from Shield said they sulphate when left, but sometimes can be rejuvenated. We didn't take a chance and bought a new set.
If you think car batteries are expensive, the set cost us the best part of five grand!
Stick to steam power, it's more reliable and you don't need batteries.
An expensive mistake Neil and one that can catch us all out, the enemy of all lead acid batteries is for them to be left under charged particularly for long periods.
Sulphate starts to form as soon as a battery is static, not being charged or discharged, and under it's full charge voltage.
In the past with dynamo charging it was typical for a car to be started on a cold day and not run long enough for the battery to be replenished, we used to say 10 miles without lights on, that got worse on the return journey and the problem multiplied, hence up until alternators, car batteries became clogged with lead sulphate and only lasted on average 2-3 years.
Since alternators were introduced the higher level of charge, even at tick over, has enabled batteries to become fully recharged on quite short runs, a typical petrol car can recover full battery charge in 2-3 miles so batteries can and do ,as I have experienced myself last 15-16 years or more.
The secret is as I said in an earlier reply is to splash out on smart chargers that trickles batteries up to full charge then drop out until the voltage falls again, when they cut back in.

La Resolució 798 del Consell de Seguretat de les Nacions Unides fou adoptada per unanimitat el 18 de desembre de 1992. Després de reafirmar les resolucions 770 (1992) i 771 (1992) i recolzar una iniciativa del Consell Europeu. El Consell va condemnar els informes sobre les detencions massives, organitzades i sistemàtiques i la violació de dones, especialment dones musulmanes, a Bòsnia i Hercegovina durant la Guerra de Bòsnia.

El Consell va exigir també que es tanquessin tots els camps de detenció, demanant al Secretari General de les Nacions Unides que donés suport perquè les delegacions de la Comunitat Europea tinguessin accés lliure i segur als llocs de detenció, lliurant un informe dins dels 15 dies posteriors a la resolució aprovada.

La resolució 798 va ser la primera vegada que les Nacions Unides havien condemnat la violació de dones en temps de guerra.

Q: How to use Term::ReadLine to retrieve command history? I've the following script, which is almost the same of the sample in synopsis paragraph in documentation.
use strict;
use warnings;
use Term::ReadLine;

my $term = Term::ReadLine->new('My shell');
print $term, "\n";
my $prompt = "-> ";

while ( defined ($_ = $term->readline($prompt)) ) {
   print $_, "\n";
   $term->addhistory($_);
}

It executes with no error, but unfortunately, even if I click the Up Arrow, I only get ^[[A and no history. What am I missing?
The print $term statement prints Term::ReadLine::Stub=ARRAY(0x223d2b8).
Since we are here, I noticed it prints the prompt underlined... but I can't find in the docs anything which could prevent it. Is there any way to avoid it?

A: To answer the main question, you probably don't have a good Term::ReadLine library installed. you will want either 'perl-Term-ReadLine-Perl' or 'perl-Term-ReadLine-Gnu'. These are the fedora package names, but i'm sure that the ubuntu/debian names would be similar. I believe you could also get them from CPAN, but I haven't tested that. If you haven't installed the package, perl loads a dummy module that has almost no features. for this reason history was not part of it.
The underline is part of what readline calls ornaments. if you want to turn them off completely, add $term->ornaments(0); somewhere apropriate.
my rewrite of your script is as follows
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

use Term::ReadLine; # make sure you have the gnu or perl implementation of readline isntalled
# eg: Term::ReadLine::Gnu or Term::ReadLine::Perl
my $term = Term::ReadLine->new('My shell');
my $prompt = "-> ";
$term->ornaments(0);  # disable ornaments.

while ( defined ($_ = $term->readline($prompt)) ) {
   print $_, "\n";
   $term->addhistory($_);
}

Death toll rises in Ondo accident caused by Dangote truck
The truck was said to be coming from Obajana in Kogi State before the accident.
Edozie Udeojo
No fewer than eight people have been confirmed dead after a truck ran into some residents and students of Adekunle Ajasin University Akungba (AAUA) at the institution's gate on Saturday.
PREMIUM TIMES, on Saturday, reported how a truck with the logo of Dangote Group, carrying bags of cement, suffered brake failure and rammed into shops in the area at about 6:00 p.m.
Our correspondent obtained a video of casualties and also spoke with sources on the spot who are carrying out rescue operations at the scene.
Witnesses at the scene told Nigeria Daily that 12 bodies have been recovered as the rescue mission continued on Sunday morning. However, the police only confirmed eight bodies.
"Many people were still in their shops when the incidents occurred. Already, there are 12 dead bodies that have been seen while so many people sustained severe injuries," Ayo Ajayi, a student of the AAUA said.
Another witness who did not want his name on print, also confirmed to Nigeria Daily that 12 individual bodies have been recovered.
"The driver lost control and the truck rammed into the shops. He has since caused gridlock in the area. 12 people have died already. Many government agencies alongside citizens are currently on a rescue mission, searching for more victims," he said Sunday morning.
While the spokesperson of the Federal Road Safety Corps in the state, Omotola Ogunbanwo, could not be reached, the state police public relations officer, Tee-Leo Ikoro, said as of Saturday night, eight bodies have been recovered.
"Eight people recovered as of yesterday but efforts were on to recover other victims trapped in some of the shops and amidst the cements," the police spokesperson said Sunday morning.
The Dangote group is yet to react to the accident with a spokesperson, Anthony Chiejina, asking to be given more time as he was in church when contacted.
Meanwhile, the management of AAUA in a statement signed by its Acting Registrar, Opeoluwa Akinfemiwa, has commiserated with the Akungba community in general on the sad incident.
"Management has informed the Government about this unfortunate incident and we are working with the Government to prevent a reoccurrence."
"Meanwhile, as a temporary measure, Management has directed that the main gate should be closed with immediate effect. Staff and students are therefore requested to make use of the following: sports Center gate, guest house gate, eastern gate and the two small gates (i.e the one leading to the Works & Services Department and the one leading to the Student Union building)."
"As a mark of respect for our departed students, the examinations scheduled to start on Monday 24th January, 2021 is hereby postponed till further notice. We appeal that our students should remain calm, as the University mourns those that lost their lives in this unfortunate incident.
"The University and the Ondo State Government are working round the clock to institute permanent solutions to the problem of incessant road accidents along Ikare-Akungba road. Once again the University Management commiserates with the University community, the families, victims and people of Akungba Akoko over this unfortunate incident."
The state commissioner of information in Ondo State, Donald Ojogo, did not respond to calls and text messages at press time.
