I think you'll agree that tagline does appropriately reflect the opinion of most viewers.
Genre: Sci-Fi Horror Mystery Thriller (Canada)
Starring: Zachary Bennett ("Road To Avonlea"), Stephanie Moore ("Queer As Folk")
Directed By: Ernie Barbarash
Overview: In this prequel to the original Cube, one of the Cube maintenance men descends into the maze of traps to rescue a woman.
Horrifically melodramatic as expected, but some scenes were just over the top. The lack of trust amidst equally trapped victims shows us plainly that the director is obviously also the writer, and he rattles weakly in both.
The images are good. Simple dark rooms and up close shots of really gory deaths kept true to the original film. This is what you'll rent this movie for.
The script had some good writing, but when it mattered it failed, and was poorly delivered by the actors, though I blame the director for this. I'm sure his vision unfolded the way he wanted, sadly, not the way I wanted.
The plot stared off really good, here's some people trapped in a maze of rooms, trying to get out. This time we focus on the maintenance guys and the experiments they perform, which is frankly really unfair after all. The middle though, was filled with the same old traps as the original movie. I can (and did) come up with a few more original traps than were used, but I suppose the director blew the budget and ended up having to use stock footage. The end was appropriate but a real let-down, and leaves a lot of questions unanswered, namely: Who actually let this guy do another sequel?
The mood was a little less paranoia-inducing from the original, though this one give us more backstory such as why the Cube was invented and by whom. Unfortunately the writer decided to make it hyper-futuristic instead of the 'conspiracy theorist's vision of unknown technology' like the original implied. With a budget not adequate to sustain the vision, the future looks retarded, with tattooed foreheads and metal gloves bleeping over Saran-wrap keyboards. The guy with the prosthetic eye looked ridiculous, as though a ball of tin-foil was stuck there. Troma Studios should sue these guys for ripping them off.
I don't even know how they managed to get one shot that makes the movie look good...
Overall Rating: 48% (A True Time Trap)
Aftertaste:
The original is really good. The sequel, Hypercube, was higher budget, but too out there. This one takes us back to the original, but with none of the genuine fear and character development of the original. The third, I just realized, also ruined the ending of the original Cube by it's sinister implication that even if you leave, you don't live. Yuck. You know it's a bad sequel when...

Q: Wave Function concept What do we mean when we say wave function of electron? Does it mean wave nature of electrons? I am really confused.Without clearing this confusion i cannot proceed to molecular orbital theory.I am just a beginner .I just want a theoretical concept of wave function of an electron not involving too much of modern mathematics.
What is a wave function of an orbital? is it same as wave function of an electron??

A: A wavefunction of a quantum system is the system's state written in a particular form - no more nor any less than that. Here the word state has an exactly analogous meaning to the state of a classical system insofar that the state at any time uniquely defines the state at any other time and contrariwise. The state's evolution with time in either a quantum or classical system is utterly deterministic. Any linear system - classical or quantum(see footnote 1) - has a state whose time evolution is defined by a first order equation of the form $\mathrm{d}_t\,\psi = A\,\psi$ - in the case of a quantum system the operator $A$ is skew-self-adjoint - i.e. of the form $i\,H$ where $H$ is self-adjoint - so that the state vector's $L^2$ (Pythogorean) length is preserved(see footnote 2).
The difference between a classical and quantum system is that for the classical system, knowledge of the state uniquely defines the system's behavior and what measurements we shall take from the system, whereas for a quantum system the state defines probability distributions for measurements. Moreover, straight after a measurement, the state of a quantum system is uniquely determined by the actual measurement one gets.
By dint of the experimentally observed behavior that a quantum system is in an eigenstate of the measurement operator (observable) straight after the measurement, it is convenient to write the state vector with the eigenvectors of the measurement operator in question as basis - in such a basis the measurement operator is diagonal (a "multiplication operator") with the measurement values (eigenvalues) along its diagonal.
Some people reserve the word "wavefunction" strictly for a one-particle state and when the state is written with the eigenvectors of the position operator as basis. In that case the wavefunction's square modulus can be loosely interpreted as a probability to find the "particle" in question at the position named by the eigenvalue. This is what people mean, for example, when they say that the photon has no wavefunction, because it is very difficult to define a position operator for a relativistic particle, and there is no nonrelativistic description of the photon. However, many other people (myself included) simply take the wavefunction as a synonym for "quantum state". You need to be aware of both usages in reading. I am fairly old and I get the impression - from some of the younger active members on this site- that the strict reservation of the word to mean "state in position co-ordinates" is the more modern and current one - particularly in education and so I tentatively recommend you should probably adopt this one.
Footnotes:
[1]. These comments hold in the Schrödinger picture, where measurement operators are constant and states time varying. A unitary transformation shifts us into the wholly equivalent Heisenberg picture, wherein states are constant and measurement operators time varying.
[2]. Preservation of the Pythagorean length makes sense in the Born interpretation - it's simply saying that the probability for the system to end up in some state is unity!

A: In quantum mechanics we use a wave function to describe the quantum state that an electron is in. It basically tells you where you are likely to find a particle. Notice how it is typically introduced as a function of position. That is because by taking the value at a certain location and squaring it we get the probability of finding it there.

A: The "wave function of an orbital" is just referring to "the wave function for electrons the corresponding state". When speaking of electron levels in an atom, it is commonly accepted the Copenhagen interpretation of Quantum Mechanics, where a wave function of an isolated system, contains all the information relevant for its full description.
Rigorously you would need to describe the whole atom (nucleus and electrons) with a unique wave function, but the fact that their behaviors can be decoupled, based on experimental evidences, and this means we can write separate wave functions for the nucleus and for the electrons. Even more, we generally give separate wave functions for each of the electron levels, which we distinguish by specifying the distinctive properties, which are level energy $n$, total angular momentum $l$, and angular momentum projection $m$ (Orbital names)
These wave functions contain the information of the electron in an atomic level, which are given generally in terms of the spatial coordinates, and they provide information on the spatial distribution of the electrons, i.e. the squared modulus is the probability density function of finding the electron in space, according to the Copenhagen interpretation of Quantum Mechanics.

Pica is characterized by an appetite for substances largely non-nutritive, such as ice, clay, chalk, dirt, or sand.
Persistent eating of non-nutritive substances for a period of at least one month.
The eating of non-nutritive substances is inappropriate to the developmental level of the individual.
The eating behaviour is not part of a culturally supported or socially normative practice.
If occurring in the presence of another mental disorder (e.g. autistic spectrum disorder), or during a medical condition (e.g. pregnancy), it is severe enough to warrant independent clinical attention.
Pica is seen more in young children than adults. Between 10 and 32% of children ages 1 – 6 have these behaviors.
Pica can also occur during pregnancy. In some cases, a lack of certain nutrients, such as iron deficiency anemia and zinc deficiency, may trigger the unusual cravings. Pica may also occur in adults who crave a certain texture in their mouth.
Note: Pica often occurs with other mental health disorders associated with impaired functioning.

PAM (Polyacrylimide)
PAM: Just the Facts
What is PAM? Polyacrylamide (PAM ) is a long-chain molecule commonly used to clean waste water. To date, the primary market for this compound has been municipal wastewater treatment facilities. It makes the fine solids in treated water adhere to one another until they become big enough to settle out or be captured by filters to make sewage sludge, and because of this feature, its use in agriculture is growing. PAM seeks out and binds to the broken edges of clay particles, which carry a negative charge. By increasing the cohesiveness of soil particles on the soil surface of a field, PAM makes soil more resistant to the highly erosive shear forces exerted by water flowing over it.
What does PAM do? When used according to the NRCS standard, polyacrylamide (PAM) increases infiltration in addition to nearly eliminating furrow erosion. Increase in infiltration varies with several soil attributes, especially texture. Silt loam soils have shown about a 15% increase in net infiltration and a 25% increase in lateral wetting from shallow furrows between low, flat beds. PAM preserves a more pervious pore structure during the formation of surface seals during irrigation, thus allowing increased infiltration. The greater infiltration associated with PAM-treated furrows can boost crop yields in sloping areas such that it's almost like giving the farmer the added yield equivalent of another irrigation during the growing season. Studies have shown that because PAM holds the top soil in place, it also keeps phosphorus, nitrogen, pesticides, weed seeds, and microorganism out of waste water.
How much PAM does it take to get good results? It takes very little PAM to dramatically cut erosion and increase infiltration. Just 10 parts per million (ppm) added to the advancing stream can reduce erosion by 70-99%. After PAM treated water has reached the end of the field, the irrigation can continue for another 12-24 hours without further treatment.
When should PAM be applied? As a minimum, PAM should be used on the first irrigation and on subsequent irrigations if the soil has been disturbed by traffic or cultivation. As long as the soil has not been disturbed by foot traffic or cultivation, the next irrigation can be delivered PAM-free and still hold erosion to about half that of recently plowed fields. For full protection that second time around, farmers can "refresh" their undisturbed furrows by beginning the next watering cycle with a mere 1 ppm PAM treatment. For crops in which erosion naturally subsides during mid season, such as potatoes when the vines elongate, PAM need not be applied after the natural erosion control properties take over.
What forms of PAM are available? PAM comes in granular, liquid oil emulsion, tablet, and block forms. Dry PAM forms are easy to store, transport, and meter into head ditches and have a longer shelf life than liquid forms. However, liquid forms require less agitation to dissolve. All the forms of PAM have a relatively low toxicity, but one should still be careful not to ingest it or have prolonged skin contact. Also, PAM spills of any kind are extremely slippery.
How should PAM be applied? Regardless of the form, PAM needs TURBULENCE to dissolve in the water. Even though dry forms require more vigorous mixing than liquid forms, all PAM needs to be added to the incoming water at a turbulent point. More concentrated PAM solutions need more aggressive mixing, with dry forms requiring the most turbulence. If using gated pipe, the first length of gated pipe after the point of PAM injection can have one or two baffles to enhance mixing. Metering liquid or granular PAM or suspending tablets or blocks of solid PAM anywhere from 25-300 feet before the first siphon tube, gate, or turnout allows plenty of mixing time.
Granular PAM can be sprinkled in a patch along the first 3-5 feet of furrow, starting right where water from the siphon tube or gate hits the furrow. Depending on the length of run, 1-3 ounces will dose a furrow. Large scale automatic fish feeders are a relatively new innovation in applying granular PAM. The feeders have a wide belt moved by a timer and sprinkle PAM into the water over the course of an irrigation.
Liquid forms of PAM usually come in a container with a built in meter and instructions. Block or tablet forms can be suspended in baskets at a turbulent point in the incoming water, but are used primarily to increase infiltration on land where erosion is not a problem. Consequently, they do not perform as well as other forms for erosion control.
Can PAM go through sprinklers? Studies in Washington and Idaho have shown that injecting PAM directly into sprinkler systems reduces surface ponding and runoff and promotes more even plant growth because of the more even water distribution. In these studies, the cost ranged from $5 to $8 per acre. When considering the potential benefits of PAM, this ability to apply greater amounts of water without runoff or surface puddling and sealing becomes particularly valuable under mid-summer conditions when center pivot irrigators find it difficult to keep up with plant water demands, because of the limitations of sprinkler application rates under center pivots.
Do I need to make any management changes when using PAM? Yes. PAM maintains higher infiltration rates throughout an irrigation than is usual with untreated water, so if irrigation practices are not adjusted, PAM can worsen variability of infiltration from upper to lower field ends. If inflow rates are increased during initial advance and then reduced to the least sustainable flow once runoff begins, erosion is still greatly reduced and advance times shortened, thereby improving infiltration uniformity.
Since PAM use increases net furrow infiltration, water management may need to be adjusted to avoid over watering. In fields with steeply sloping furrows (>2%), infiltration tends to be lower and water normally advances rapidly down the field. Improved infiltration and longer furrow advance times resulting from PAM treatment are not likely to be a problem here. However, on very steep fields, PAM may increase net infiltration enough to warrant reducing irrigation set times, since more water goes into the soil in a shorter time. In fields with gently sloping furrows (0-0.5%) and especially for non-trafficked furrows, infiltration can be relatively high and advance times excessively long with PAM use, leading to nonuniform, down-furrow water application. This is particularly a problem when the inflow stream is not increased. PAM allows irrigators to increase inflows without increasing furrow erosion losses. Enlarging initial stream size greatly reduces advance time and equalizes infiltration opportunity times for the top and bottom of the field.
What if the irrigation water has silt in it? If there is a significant amount of sediment suspended in the water supply, PAM will cause it to flocculate and settle out almost immediately. A small settling pond at the top of the field may be necessary to prevent sediment from filling head ditches. PAM can cause silt to accumulate in gated pipe, particularly if the pipe is on a low grade, has low spots, or if the water is moving slowly. PAM can also cause nozzles in sprinkler systems to plug. Consequently, care must be taken when using PAM in gated pipe or with sprinklers.
How much does PAM cost? Expect to pay $3-$6 per pound of active ingredient. Pay attention to the percent active ingredient because it varies between the different forms and manufacturers. In general, granular form is the cheapest and liquid is the most expensive.


Rapid Fire is an awesome Target Practicing Game where you have to shoot the targets accurately to reach the specific goal in every level and score maximum points. Remember! You can miss only 5 targets in every level, so try to be quick enough and shoot them in a row to get special bonuses. Also difficulty increases as you advance in the game, so always expect tougher challenges. Have Fun!


How to read data from files using conditional dml ?
Generally, we read the data from file and filter them on another components, like tJava/tFilterRows/tMap.
I don't want to filter out the records, instead have to change the number of fields each row carries based on the condition.
i.e the output should have multiple records, each having different columns populated.

[NEWS] 160101 JYJ's Junsu and EXID's Hani confirmed to be dating
Local news tabloid Dispatch is reporting that JYJ's Junsu and EXID's Hani have rung in the new year by becoming a new couple! The two have liked each other for the past six months, but finally made it official on January 1. According to Dispatch, the 29-year-old Junsu made the first move of asking out Hani, who is 24. Reportedly, the two have been fans of each other for quite some time, and admiration turned into a closer relationship as the two got to know each other.
They were first photographed together at Han River on December 1 in Junsu's Aston Martin 007. Junsu sat in the driver's seat and Hani in the passenger seat.
They were also spotted spending time together in October and November. To accommodate Hani's busy schedule, as EXID was promoting "Hot Pink" during this time, Junsu would often pick her up in his car when they date. Hani was busy with EXID's "Hot Pink" comeback promotions from Thursdays to Sunday afternoon, so they would frequently meet on Sunday evenings and date on days where she had no schedule. They would most commonly date at Junsu's home, where he lives temporarily with his manager. Junsu's manager would also help out, and would sometimes come pick her up.
Hani and Junsu reportedly also spent the "couple's holiday," Christmas Eve, together. Hani also gave Junsu a Christmas present.
According to an insider, Junsu was the first one to fall for Hani. Meanwhile, Hani has been a fan of Junsu's since his DBSK days. A source close to both of them said, "They are total opposites. Junsu is very sensitive, while Hani is very easygoing. You can see this in their fashion. Junsu dresses carefully, while Hani dresses casually."
C-JeS has responded and confirmed that the two stars are dating.
A representative of the company commented that "In the beginning, the two began supporting each other in their activities through a sunbae-hoobae relationship and they gradually came to like each other. The fact that the two have recently embarked on a romantic relationship is true." They asked the public to look fondly on the couple and added that because dating is a private matter they cannot reveal any more details at this time.
And after Hani's agency said they would look into it and ask Hani, they have also come forth with their own official statement.
Her side stated, "After confirming with Hani directly, she and Junsu were in a sunbae-hoobae relationship but recently started dating. They are maintaining a good relationship."
They added, "Last year, a lot of things suddenly changed with "Up & Down", and Hani was still lacking experience and did not know how to handle it all. Then, more than anybody else, there was someone who gave correct judgement and was a strength to her so that she could focus. She naturally became in a relationship with that person and they are in a serious relationship."
They ended with, "Please look upon the two with affection and warm gazes, so that they can continue to even more faithfully promote separately in their own places. Since this is a very personal matter, we request that you watch over them so that they do not have to be hurt from speculative reports."

Based on Pollan's best-selling adult book of the same title, this (slightly) shortened version will appeal to thoughtful, socially responsible teens. The book is divided into four sections: "The Industrial Meal" (exemplified by the fact that only two companies, Cargill and ADM, buy nearly a third of all the corn grown in the U.S.); "The Industrial Organic Meal" (covering most of what's found in stores like Whole Foods); "Local Sustainable" (small farms typically based on grass, not corn); and what he calls the "Do-It-Yourself Meal" (where he hunts a wild pig and gathers wild mushrooms). Pollan has done an amazing amount of research, both of the typical kind (there are 16 pages of footnotes) and the more personal kind. His own research includes slaughtering a chicken himself and eating a fast-food meal in a moving car with his family. He explains complicated issues clearly, offers compelling evidence of the environmental damage done by what he calls the industrial meal, and urges readers not to look away from animal-welfare issues: "We can only decide if we know the truth." An afterword, "Vote with Your Fork," recommends simple actions that will improve the health of our bodies, our society, and our planet.

Budget– For most, budget is the first thing that comes into their minds whenever they need to make any purchase. If you plan to spend about $30 per product, then most probably an imprinted metal thermos won't be your choice. For the cheapest price per item, you will definitely land on poor quality items like pens, calendars or highlighters. And this won't bring much impact to your brand's visibility. Better to buy something valuable and increase your popularity.
Theme– Is what you're giving out intertwined to any themed promo? If that's the case then make sure that your giveaways are in line with this concept. For instance, a Christmas bash would work out better when celebrated with sweatshirts and classy snow globes.
Location– If you're planning to distribute the promotional gifts at your inspection counter, you will certainly have to go for something small and portable. However, if the items are meant for a corporate picnic, something like beach balls would work out pretty well.
Goals/Objectives– Do you wish to spread out your message or to confine it to a small portion of people? Promotional products like pens and umbrellas get distributed quite often and are likely to be viewed by different people on a daily basis. Desk calendars, on the other hand, may be noticed frequently by your prospective and potential clients. Branded t-shirts will always remind the client of your business whenever they put it on and will also be seen by other people they meet with. Take into account the advertising approach you wish to use and be certain that your promotional product goes along with your business goals.
Target Audience-When your target audience is huge, settle for promotional items with a greater appeal, something like customized coffee mugs, would be quite handy. Conversely, if the items are targeted towards a particular group, you will need something focused on their specific needs. For instance, if the convention you're attending is likely to have many mommy bloggers, custom diaper bags may advance your visibility above that of your contender's light-up lanyards.
Competition– Which items are your business competitors likely to give out in their brand promos? If you're conducting a technological exhibition and you feel like many other companies will be giving out USB flash drives, desist from joining the horde. Instead, choose something unique and valuable for your company's promo. If it happens that you're the only firm offering USB-powered vacuum keyboards then you may catch the attention of many potential clients who wouldn't have noticed your booth at all.
Keep in mind that a unique item cannot be easily forgotten by potential customers. And reflects an outstanding reputation for your company.
Buy your promotional products only from Promotional Product inc.

How Today's Tech Will Shape Tomorrow's Job Interview
Josh Tolan 8 years
Josh Tolan Contributor
Josh Tolan is the CEO of Spark Hire
New technologies continue to change every facet of the way we do business, including how we identify, recruit and hire the best people. Thanks to the latest tech innovations, today's recruiting and hiring process has developed far beyond the traditional job boards and sit-down interviews of yesterday.
The onslaught of social media has made it easier to identify and connect with potential candidates. (If you say you don't check job candidates out on social media, you're lying.) Smartphones made it easy to recruit and interview on the go. Popular video chat platforms paved the way for video interviews.
In short, today's hiring process has evolved to include employers, hiring managers, recruiters and job candidates — with tech as the middleman.
As technology advances, so will the way we interview and hire employees. Which brings us to the future of job interviews. Let's take a look at how some of today's emerging technologies will shape tomorrow's job interview.

The skills gap is growing. It might be yesterday's news, but it still affects today's hiring process. In fact, ManpowerGroup's ninth annual Talent Shortage Survey revealed that nearly 40 percent of employers globally reported having difficulty filling jobs — the highest percentage in seven years. As it becomes harder to find qualified candidates, employers will need to step up their hiring game. Today, it's predictive analytics. Tomorrow, it'll be voice analytics.
A new study by the University of Chicago Booth School of Business discovered that people found job candidates more appealing when they heard their pitch versus when they read it — even though it was the same pitch.
"In addition to communicating the contents of one's mind, like specific thoughts and beliefs, a person's speech conveys their fundamental capacity to think — the capacity for reasoning, thoughtfulness, and intellect," said Chicago Booth professor Nicholas Epley.
As a result, companies are already beginning to develop various apps, software, and algorithms designed to screen job candidates and evaluate their potential fit for a role or company based on their voice.
One such company is Jobaline, which uses voice profiling to gauge a person's likeability and charm. Beyond Verbal's Moodie app performs much in the same way by analyzing voice to determine emotion.
While these voice profiling tools are still in an experimental stage when it comes to hiring, they could be largely beneficial for customer service or sales roles where an employee's voice takes center stage.
The "Internet of Things" (IoT) is a phrase that's been reverberating throughout the tech world as of late. From wearables to smart cars to self-sufficient appliances, anything that can be connected, will be connected. In fact, according to Gartner, there will be nearly 26 billion IoT devices by 2020.
So what impact will the Internet of Things have on the future of recruiting and hiring? For starters, more IoT devices means more data and analytics when it comes to identifying potential job candidates. And more data and analytics means a more effective recruiting and hiring process that leads to better hires.
Not to mention, it could also keep you from being late to meet job prospects — or adjust your schedule, as Mani Zarrehparvar, president of mobility technology firm Visage Mobile, shared:
"I'm imagining I walk out of my front door with my device. My device locks the door behind me. It starts my car. It pays for my coffee at Starbucks. It knows that when I get in my car and I say I'm going to Starbucks, it has my order waiting for me when I get there. It recognizes that I'm late for a meeting and changes my meeting because it knows — by my location — that I'm not going to be at the office in time to be there for my video conference meeting and it changes it to a voice call."
The Star Wars Fan's Dream
The advancement of video technology in the interview process has allowed us to visually connect with job candidates — whenever, wherever. With six in 10 hiring managers conducting job interviews via video, video interviews are on the rise. But how much further can we go with virtual interaction, when it comes to tomorrow's job interview?
Star Wars fans, rejoice: 3D holographic technology is here. While it's not yet available to consumers, it's no longer just the stuff of science fiction. And it won't be long before 3D holographic technology will allow interviewers to interact with 3D holographic projections of candidates.
In fact, it's already being done. The infamous founder of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, used hologram technology to appear for an interview at The Nantucket Project just last year. This month, world-renowned physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking made a virtual appearance at the Sydney Opera House to give a lecture.
While we may be a ways away from interviewing job candidates via holographic projections, Star Wars 3D hologram technology is well on its way to becoming a future reality.

Donald Trump and the dollar standard
A pillar of global financial stability is under threat
Finance and economicsFeb 9th 2017 edition
TRUMPISM is in part an expression of American exhaustion at bearing burdens it first took up 70 years ago. Donald Trump has moaned less about the dollar than about shirking NATO allies or cheating trade partners. Yet the dollar standard is one of the most vulnerable pillars of global stability. And the world is far from ready for America to ditch its global financial role.
Unlike other aspects of American hegemony, the dollar has grown more important as the world has globalised, not less. In the Bretton Woods system devised for the post-war world, Western economies fixed their exchange rates to the dollar, which was in turn pegged to the price of gold. After the fracturing of this system under the inflationary pressures of the 1970s, the dollar became more central than ever. As economies opened their capital markets in the 1980s and 1990s, global capital flows surged. Yet most governments sought exchange-rate stability amid the sloshing tides of money. They managed their exchange rates using massive piles of foreign-exchange reserves (see chart). Global reserves have grown from under $1trn in the 1980s to more than $10trn today.
Dollar-denominated assets account for much of those reserves. Governments worry more about big swings in the dollar than in other currencies; trade is often conducted in dollar terms; and firms and governments owe roughly $10trn in dollar-denominated debt. New research by Ethan Ilzetzki, of the London School of Economics, and Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff , of Harvard University, concludes that the dollar is, on some measures, more central to the global system now than it was immediately after the second world war. It remains the world's principal "anchor" currency, against which others seek to limit volatility.
America wields enormous financial power as a result. It can wreak havoc by withholding supplies of dollars in a crisis. When the Federal Reserve tweaks monetary policy, the effects ripple across the global economy. Hélène Rey of the London Business School argues that, despite their reserve holdings, many economies have lost full control over their domestic monetary policy, because of the effect of Fed policy on global appetite for risk.
Leaders of other economies bristle at this. During the heyday of Bretton Woods, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, a French finance minister (later president), complained about the "exorbitant privilege" enjoyed by the issuer of the world's reserve currency. America's return on its foreign assets is markedly higher than the return foreign investors earn on their American assets (foreign governments hold vast amounts of safe but low-yielding dollar assets, like Treasury bonds, as reserves). That flow of investment income allows America to run persistent current-account deficits—to buy more than it produces year after year, decade after decade.
This has become a privilege America seems eager to discard. An overvalued currency and persistent trade deficits are fine for America's consumers, but painful for its producers. The reserve accumulation of the past two decades has gone hand-in-hand with a soaring current-account deficit in America. Imports have grown faster than exports; new jobs in exporting industries have not appeared in numbers great enough to absorb workers displaced by increased foreign competition. Tariffs cannot fix this problem. The current-account gap is a product of underlying financial flows, and taxing imports will simply cause the dollar to rise in an offsetting fashion.
America's privilege also increases inequality, since lost jobs in factories hurt workers while outsize investment performance benefits richer Americans with big portfolios. Because the rich are less inclined to spend an extra dollar than the typical worker, this shift in resources creates weakness in American demand—and sluggish economic growth—except when consumer debt rises as the rich lend their purchasing power to the rest.
Chalk the headaches generated by low interest rates up to the dollar standard, too. Some economists reckon they reflect global appetite outstripping the supply of the safe assets America is uniquely equipped to provide—dollar-denominated government bonds. As the price of safe bonds rises, rates on those bonds fall close to zero, leaving central banks with ever less room to stimulate their economies when they run into trouble.
A new golden age
A benign solution seems obvious: the dollar should share its role with other currencies. But one candidate to share the load—China's yuan—is inhibited by tight limits on Chinese financial markets. Nor is increased dependence on China an attractive option for governments seeking to reduce their exposure to authoritarian-minded, transparency-averse regimes with unclear motives. The role of the euro, the other logical option, is constrained by existential political risk and the scarcity of safe euro-denominated bonds. What is more, the world's big economies have much to lose from an end to American monetary hegemony. Their politically convenient trade surpluses for one; the value of the enormous piles of dollar-denominated assets for another.
History suggests two ways in which Mr Trump might undermine the dollar's role. Bretton Woods broke apart as a result of a fatal flaw: governments were desperate for dollars, but in creating more of them America fanned inflation, which made its gold peg unsustainable. Similarly, should Mr Trump's efforts to make America great again through tax cuts and spending lead to ever larger budget deficits and rising inflation, American assets might lose their lustre. America might resemble the 1970s again: with soaring prices and interest rates, but free of its exorbitant burden.
Alternatively, the dollar might go the way of the inter-war gold standard. That collapsed amid a breakdown in international co-operation, as governments of uncompetitive economies put up tariffs and then withdrew from the system altogether through the erection of capital controls. It would be tragic if history's lessons were forgotten and had to be learned all over again.

Tribal tattoos are very fascinating and great expression of artistic design. Tribal tattoos dates back to over 5000 years ago during the bronze age. The tattoos were commonly worn by people of diverse races and cultures and the meaning of the tattoos differed depending on the culture or race of the wearer. To the European culture tribal tattoo was a symbol of membership or a sense of belonging where members could easily identify one another as a member of their race or culture.
When you are getting a tattoo done, you really need to focus on many things. First of all have you ever had a tattoo done? Tattoos are permanent so you need to think hard before getting one. It is better to think about it before getting it done than afterwards.

Q: When creating an algorithm for linked lists, why must you be careful about the order in which you change the references? My guess would be that Lists, such as Linked Lists have an order in which the Nodes are placed. That means one Node points to the next.
(I do need more detail or a better answer)

A: Consider a linked list with this node structure:
Node
    int value;
    Node next;

And your list contains:
1 -> 3 -> 7 -> null

So the next pointer for the node with value 1 points to the node with the value 3, etc.
Now, say you want to insert a new node with value 2 between 1 and 3. The way to do that, is to make the new node point to 3, and then make the existing node (1) point to the new node.
If you were to make 1 point to 2 first, then you overwrite the reference to the 3 node, and the 3 node is lost.

Chinese Government takes control of Imagination Technologies
Apr 4, 2020 by Charlie Demerjian
It looks like the Chinese government is trying to take overt control of Imagination Technologies. SemiAccurate has been hearing rumors of this for almost a week and now it appears to be trickling out into the open.
While we can't confirm all of the bits floating around, what we have confirmed is that we were told the Chinese government is effectively stacking the board of Imagination and trying to run the company instead of just owning it. The reasoning is to effectively move the company to China and control the IP in country, likely as a direct result and counter for the technology blockades of the Trump administration.
No matter what the reasons for the move, it is guaranteed to go over like a lead balloon and fund several oversized yachts among the British solicitor community before all is said and done. Also given the timing of the move, it is hard to come to any conclusion other than the Chinese government knew it would not go over well right now, so probably a smart move on their part. One thing you can expect is a long messy fight before this is over.
In any case the root cause of this impending debacle is Trump's cutting off Chinese companies from American tech. They now have no other choice but to do it on their own with their own IP, either home grown or purchased. These 'sanctions' on Huawei among others are the most own-goal that the Trump administration could have accomplished and they will unquestionably end the dominance of the western tech companies. Imagination Technologies' takeover is only the beginning of our end.S|A|

How to Think Outside the Boxplot
Minitab Blog Editor 12 February, 2016
There's nothing like a boxplot, aka box-and-whisker diagram, to get a quick snapshot of the distribution of your data. With a single glance, you can readily intuit its general shape, central tendency, and variability.
To easily compare the distribution of data between groups, display boxplots for the groups side by side. Visually compare the central value and spread of the distribution for each group and determine whether the data for each group are symmetric about the center. If you hold your pointer over a plot, Minitab displays the quartile values and other summary statistics for each group.
The "stretch" of the box and whiskers in different directions can help you assess the symmetry of your data.
Sweet, isn't it? This simple and elegant graphical display is just one of the many wonderful statistical contributions of John Tukey. But, like any graph, the boxplot has both strengths and limitations. Here are a few things to consider.
Be Wary of Sample Size Effects
Consider the boxplots shown below for two groups of data, S4 and L4.
Eyeballing these plots, you couldn't be blamed for thinking that L4 has much greater variability than S4.
But guess what? Both data sets were generated by randomly sampling from a normal distribution with mean of 4 and a standard deviation of 1. That is, the data for both plots come from the same population.
Why the difference? The sample for L4 contains 100 data points. The sample for S4 contains only 4 data points. The small sample size shrinks the whiskers and gives the boxplot the illusion of decreased variability. In this way, if group sizes vary considerably, side-by-side boxplots can be easily misinterpreted.
How to See Sample Size Effects
Luckily, you can easily change the settings for a boxplot in Minitab to visually capture sample-size effects. Right-click the box and choose Edit Interquartile Range Box. Then click the Options tab and check the option to show the box widths proportional to the sample size.
Do that, and the side-by-side boxplots will clearly reflect sample size differences.
Yes that looks weird. But it should look weird! For the sake of illustration, we're comparing a sample of 4 to a sample of 100, which is a weird thing to do.
In practice, you'd be likely to see less drastic—though not necessarily less important—differences in the box widths when groups are different sizes. The following side-by-side boxplots show groups with sample sizes that range from 25 to 100 observations.
Thinner boxes (Group F) indicate smaller samples and "thinner" evidence. Heftier boxes (Group A) indicate larger samples and more ample evidence. The group comparisons are less misleading now because the viewer can clearly see that sample sizes for the groups differ.
Small Samples Can Make Quartiles Meaningless
Another issue with using a boxplot with small samples is that the calculated quartiles can become meaningless. For example, if you have only 4 or 5 data values, it makes no sense to display an interquartile range that shows the "middle 50%" of your data, right?
Minitab display options for the boxplot can help illustrate the problem. Once again, consider the example with the groups S4 (N = 4) and L4 (N = 100), which were both sampled from a normal population with mean of 4 and standard deviation of 1.
To visualize the precision of the estimate of the median (the center line of the box), select the boxplots, then choose Editor > Add > Data Display. You'll see a list of items that you can add to the plot. Select the option to display a confidence interval for the median on the plot.
Here's the result:
First look at the boxplot for L4 on the right. A small box is added to the plot inside the interquartile range box to show the 95% confidence interval for the median. For L4, the 95% confidence interval for the median is approximately (3.96, 4.35), which seems a fairly precise estimate for these data.
S4, on the left, is another story. The 95% confidence interval (3.65, 5.19) for the median is so wide that it completely obscures the whiskers on the plot. The boxplot looks like some kind of clunky, decapitated Transformer. That's what happens when the confidence interval for the median is larger than the interquartile range of the data. If your plot looks like that when you display the confidence interval for the median, it often means that your sample is probably too small to obtain meaningful quartile estimates.
Case in Point: Boxplots and Politics
Like Ginger Rogers, I'm kind of writing this post backwards—although not in high heels. What got me thinking about these issues with the boxplot was a comment from a reader who suggested that my choice of a time series plot to represent the U.S. deficit data was politically biased. Here's the time series plot:
Even though I deliberately refrained from interpreting this graph from a political standpoint (given the toxic political climate on the Internet, I didn't want to go there!), the reader felt that by choosing a time series plot for these data, I was attempting to cast Democratic administrations in a more favorable light.The reader asked me to instead consider side-by-side boxplots of the same data:
I appreciated the reader's suggestion in a general sense. After all, it's always a sound strategy to examine your data using a variety of graphical analyses.
But not every graph is appropriate for every set of data. And for these data, I'd argue that boxplots are not the best choice, regardless of whether you're a member of the Democratic, Republican, Objectivist, or Rent Is Too Damn High party.
For one thing, the sample sizes for each boxplot are much too small (between 4 and 8 data points, mostly), raising the issues previously discussed. But something else is amiss...
Context is everything...especially in statistics
In most cases, such as in most process data, longer boxes and whiskers indicate greater variability, which is usually a "bad" thing. So when you eyeball the boxplots of %GDP deficits quickly, your eye is drawn to the longer boxes, such as the plot for the Truman administration. The implication is that the deficits were "bad" for those administrations.
But is variability a bad thing with a deficit? If a president inherits a huge deficit and quickly turns it into a huge surplus, that creates a great amount of variability—but it's good variability.
You could argue that the relative location of the center line (median) of the side-by-side plots provides a useful means of comparing "average" deficits for each administration. But really, with so few data values, the median value of each administration is just as easy to see in the time series plot. And the time series plot offers additional insight into overall trends and individual values for each year.
Look what happens when you graph the same data values, but in a different time order, using time series plots and boxplots.
Using a boxplot for this trend data is liking putting on a blindfold. You want to choose a graphical display that illuminates information about data, not obscures it.
In conclusion, a monkey wrench is a wonderful tool. Unless you try to use it as a can opener. Graphs are kind of like that, too.

Capturing the essence of Hammond School was easy because it was evident that education and lifetime learning was their passion. From chasing the energetic lower school students at recess, to getting hands on with iguanas and tarantulas in middle school science lab and sitting in on a robotics lesson with upper school students in the new innovation center, there was always excitement buzzing down every hallway.
I have had the pleasure of working with Kickstand on a number of projects from admissions pieces, to website images, and capital campaign materials. Their images have graced the covers of our magazines, billboards, and nearly every creative piece that we produce. Their professionalism and artistry are unmatched, and the Kickstand team have created what we've come to call "the Hammond look". When it comes to photography, we will look no further.


A few minutes ago, the senate approved the long debated minimum wage of N30,000 to workers in the civil service in Nigeria.
This decision was reached after the upper chamber's ad-hoc committee on new minimum wage headed by Senator Francis Alimikhena submitted its report.
The Nigerian Labour Congress NLC has undergone a couple of strike in the past months due to the minimum wage demand and it's exciting to know that their request has been met by the preseident Buhari's administration.
While the workers are excited about this recent happening, others are of the opinion that most of the civil servants hardly engage in any meaningful duty and as such have no rights to demand for extra pay.
A civil servant in Abuja , Ahmed Mustafa speaking to Vkeyz said that this approval is overdue as a laborer should be paid his wages.
With the recession in Nigeria and the inflation, will this minimum wage really make any difference?

This is a gentle reminder to all those students who went through the D.A.R.E. program, learning to resist drugs and alcohol and walking away. I plead with each of you to remember to walk away so you may have the opportunity to become the best at whatever you choose in life. A challenge to all those adults and those in authority, those children look to for guidance… lead by example.

It's been far too long since Bristol-based singer-songwriter Gaz Brookfield has had a mention on our pages, so here's a belated Christmas present from this amazing performer, a name-your-price download of a live album you'll be sorry to have missed out on otherwise.
Of course, I only say belated because I've failed to mention it between munching on Quality Street until only toffee pennies and empty wrappers remain, and putting batteries in things, for Gaz released this Christmas Eve. It's recorded live at Esquires in Bedford, back in November as part of a tour whereby his Patreon page members chose the setlist. So, expect a mixture of the best songs old and new, but be safe in the knowledge they're accomplished acoustically. Without backing from The Company of Thieves, here is Gaz, warts, and all, as he apologises for a sore throat but, as you could imagine if you've seen this character before, still manages to pull a blinder.
I honestly didn't expect to pick up on tracks I'd recall, but was reminded of one particularly adroitly written chef-d'oeuvre, The Tale of Gunner Haines, a true story of a solider assigned to Somerset's Brean Down Fort, who was reprimanded for reporting in late from an unauthorised leave, due to a flat tyre on his bicycle, and promptly took 5,000 lbs of gunpowder and blew himself and the barracks to smithereens.
If this comes across rather Ralph McTell or Eric Bogle, historical narratives are a scarcity in Gaz's repertoire, rather drawing influences from everyday observations and personal reflections. And to argue these subjects are cliché, I'd nod, but allow me thus, Gaz does it so incredibly well, the thoughts and observations of many others pale by comparison. So, as every good live album should, there's abridged chat, confidently amusing and relative, and then there's these ingenious prose pieces of aging and his youth, of medical issues, his affection for the ordinary from maps to gardening, and much to deliberate on the matter of being a musician on the road, self-deemed a "land pirate," and particularly amusing when character assassinating drunks at his gigs.
Within it, Gaz states he follows a serious song with a "silly" one, but the lines between sentimental and amusing are blurred, you take what you want from each, for if a good sign for the performer who uses the tenet of personal reflection as topic is that you come away from listening thinking you know the person, Gaz will seem like your best mate. This open fellow is a lively Billy Bragg at his peak, a West Country Springsteen of storytelling, with the carefree attitude to pigeonholing of James Taylor and the coolness of Leonard Cohen. The sum of these parts is a highly entertaining show.
If this live recording shouldn't be treated as comprehensive, but a teaser for you to explore more of his discography, I guarantee you'll come away from it wanting more.
