Oprah Winfrey visits Tucson to film TV episode about controversial book 'American Dirt'
Andi Berlin, Veronica M. Cruz and Johanna Willett
Arizona Daily Star
Cultural icon Oprah Winfrey chose the Tucson area as the setting for a much-hyped TV program about the controversial novel "American Dirt." The talk show host, along with author Jeanine Cummins, held a televised discussion about the book on Thursday afternoon.
About 250 people were asked to meet at the Harkins Theatres Arizona Pavilions early Thursday afternoon and directed to another location. Participants were asked to sign a nondisclosure agreement and banned from speaking about the event until after the show airs in March.
The discussion will be the next episode in Winfrey's new Apple TV+ series "Oprah's Book Club," which features personal conversations with authors in front of a live audience.
The best-selling novel "American Dirt," published Jan. 21 by Macmillan Publishers, has attracted a frenzy of denunciations, especially after Winfrey named it her book club pick in January. The book has been widely criticized for having stereotypical depictions of Mexican migrants, and raised questions about cultural appropriation, diversity and representation in the publishing industry.
To address the outpouring of concerns from the Latino community, Winfrey posted an Instagram video Jan. 26, in which she said, "What I want to do is bring people together from all sides to talk about this book, and who gets to publish what stories ... And I think it's going to allow us to open up the conversation in unexpected, and I really hope, meaningful ways."
On Wednesday, the Latino group #DignidadLiteraria posted an open letter to Winfrey on the site Literary Hub calling for deeper conversations about "the continued underrepresentation of Latino authors in publishing and in your highly influential book club." The letter mentioned the Tucson taping and reiterated the need for a private sit-down with Winfrey and their movement.
"We urge to you open your mind and heart to actual Latinos the way you have publicly declared you did to Jeanine's fictional characters," the letter reads.
Roberto Lovato, one of the signers of the letter, wrote on Twitter about not receiving an invitation to Winfrey's Tucson book taping.


Centrifugal pumps are also called sand pumps, used widely in oil and gas drilling, to pump the drilling fluids to keep the mud recycling system or solids control equipments work well.
Machine for moving fluid by spinning it using a rotating impeller in a casing with a central inlet and a tangential outlet.
The overwhelming majority of contractor pumps use centrifugal force to move water. Centrifugal force is defined as the action that causes something, in this case dril ling fluids, to move away from its center of rotation.
For a given centrifugal pump operating at a constant speed, the flow rate through the pump is dependent upon the differential pressure or head developed by the pump. The lower the pump head, the higher the flow rate. A vendor manual for a specific pump usually contains a curve of pump flow rate versus pump head called a pump characteristic curve.
After a pump is installed in a solids control system, it is usually tested to ensure that the flow rate and head of the pump are within the required specifications. A typical centrifugal pump characteristic curve is shown below.
Shutoff head is the maximum head that can be developed by a centrifugal pump operating at a set speed.
Pump runout is the maximum flow that can be developed by a centrifugal pump without damaging the pump.
Fantastic article. Whoever did that pump diagram, great work. In doing my research I also ran across a great explanation of the various centrifugal pump types the applications they are used and advantages. May be helpful for readers.

In our February Assured Briefing we revisited the sad topic of sexual abuse cases centered on, but not limited to, the Catholic church. While some insurers of various archdioceses may have settled with their policyholders in the early 2000s, our conversations with insurance professionals revealed that additional liability and coverage could remain. In April, one national insurer took a reserve charge for the NY law passed in Feb. More charges and insurers could be implicated. Read our Assured Comment on the topic.
In an Assured Report released in March, we once again revisit our most inquired-about research topic over the past two years.

Q: What optimization does move semantics provide if we already have RVO? As far as I understand one of the purposes of adding  move semantics is to optimize code by calling special constructor for copying "temporary" objects. For example, in this answer we see that it can be used to optimize such string a = x + y stuff. Because x+y is an rvalue expression, instead of deep copying we can copy only the pointer to the string and the size of the string. But as we know, modern compilers support return value optimization, so without using move semantics our code will not call the copy constructor at all.
To prove it I write this code:
#include <iostream>

struct stuff
{
        int x;
        stuff(int x_):x(x_){}
        stuff(const stuff & g):x(g.x)
        {
                std::cout<<"copy"<<std::endl;
        }
};
stuff operator+(const stuff& lhs,const stuff& rhs)
{
        stuff g(lhs.x+rhs.x);
        return g;
}
int main()
{
        stuff a(5),b(7);
        stuff c = a+b;
}

And after executing it in VC++2010 and g++ in optimize mode I'm getting empty output.
What kind of optimization is it, if without it my code still works faster? Could you explain what I'm understanding wrong?

A: Imagine your stuff was a class with heap allocated memory like a string, and that it had the notion of capacity.  Give it a operator+= that will grow the capacity geometrically.  In C++03 this might look like:
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>

struct stuff
{
    int size;
    int cap;

    stuff(int size_):size(size_)
    {
        cap = size;
        if (cap > 0)
            std::cout <<"allocating " << cap <<std::endl;
    }
    stuff(const stuff & g):size(g.size), cap(g.cap)
    {
        if (cap > 0)
            std::cout <<"allocating " << cap <<std::endl;
    }
    ~stuff()
    {
        if (cap > 0)
            std::cout << "deallocating " << cap << '\n';
    }

    stuff& operator+=(const stuff& y)
    {
        if (cap < size+y.size)
        {
            if (cap > 0)
                std::cout << "deallocating " << cap << '\n';
            cap = std::max(2*cap, size+y.size);
            std::cout <<"allocating " << cap <<std::endl;
        }
        size += y.size;
        return *this;
    }
};

stuff operator+(const stuff& lhs,const stuff& rhs)
{
    stuff g(lhs.size + rhs.size);
    return g;
}

Also imagine you want to add more than just two stuff's at a time:
int main()
{
    stuff a(11),b(9),c(7),d(5);
    std::cout << "start addition\n\n";
    stuff e = a+b+c+d;
    std::cout << "\nend addition\n";
}

For me this prints out:
allocating 11
allocating 9
allocating 7
allocating 5
start addition

allocating 20
allocating 27
allocating 32
deallocating 27
deallocating 20

end addition
deallocating 32
deallocating 5
deallocating 7
deallocating 9
deallocating 11

I count 3 allocations and 2 deallocations to compute:
stuff e = a+b+c+d;

Now add move semantics:
    stuff(stuff&& g):size(g.size), cap(g.cap)
    {
        g.cap = 0;
        g.size = 0;
    }

...
stuff operator+(stuff&& lhs,const stuff& rhs)
{
        return std::move(lhs += rhs);
}

Running again I get:
allocating 11
allocating 9
allocating 7
allocating 5
start addition

allocating 20
deallocating 20
allocating 40

end addition
deallocating 40
deallocating 5
deallocating 7
deallocating 9
deallocating 11

I'm now down to 2 allocations and 1 deallocations.  That translates to faster code.

A: There are many places some of which are mentioned in other answers.
One big one is that when resizing a std::vector it will move move-aware objects from the old memory location to the new one rather than copy and destroy the original.
Additionally rvalue references allow the concept of movable types, this is a semantic difference and not just an optimization. unique_ptr wasn't possible in C++03 which is why we had the abomination of auto_ptr.

A: Move semantics should not be thought as an optimization device, even if they can be used as such.
If you are going to want copies of objects (either function parameters or return values), then RVO and copy elision will do the job when they can. Move semantics can help, but are more powerful than that.
Move semantics are handy when you want to do something different whether the passed object is a temporary (it then binds to a rvalue reference) or a "standard" object with a name (a so called const lvalue). If you want for instance to steal the resources of a temporary object, then you want move semantics (example: you can steal the contents a std::unique_ptr points to).
Move semantics allow you to return non copyable objects from functions, which is not possible with the current standard. Also, non copyable objects can be put inside other objects, and those objects will automatically be movable if the contained objects are.
Non copyable objects are great, since they don't force you to implement an error-prone copy constructor. A lot of the time, copy semantics do not really make sense, but move semantics do (think about it).
This also enables you to use movable std::vector<T> classes even if T is non copyable. The std::unique_ptr class template is also a great tool when dealing with non copyable objects (eg. polymorphic objects).

A: After some digging I find this excellent example of optimization with rvalue references inStroustrup's FAQ .
Yes, swap function:
    template<class T>
void swap(T& a, T& b)   // "perfect swap" (almost)
{
    T tmp = move(a);    // could invalidate a
    a = move(b);        // could invalidate b
    b = move(tmp);      // could invalidate tmp
}

This will generate optimized code for any kind of types (assuming, that it have move constructor).
Edit: Also RVO can't optimize something like this(at least on my compiler):
stuff func(const stuff& st)
{
    if(st.x>0)
    {
        stuff ret(2*st.x);
        return ret;
    }
    else
    {
        stuff ret2(-2*st.x);
        return ret2;
    }
}

This function always calls copy constructor (checked with VC++). And if our class can be moved faster, than with move constructor we will have optimization.

A: Just because this particular case is already covered by an existing optimization does not mean that other cases don't exist where r-value references are helpful.
Move construction allows optimization even when the temporary is returned from a function which cannot be inlined (perhaps it's a virtual call, or through a function pointer).

A: Your posted example only takes const lvalue references and so explicitly cannot have move semantics applied to it, as there is not a single rvalue reference in there. How can move semantics make your code faster when you implemented a type without rvalue references?
In addition, your code is already covered by RVO and NRVO. Move semantics apply to far, far more situations than those two do.

A: This line calls the first constructor.
stuff a(5),b(7);

Plus operator is called using explicit common lvalue references.
stuff c = a + b;

Inside operator overload method, you have no copy constructor called.
Again, the first constructor is called only.
stuff g(lhs.x+rhs.x);

assigment is made with RVO, so no copy is need. NO copy from returned object to 'c' is need.
stuff c = a+b;

Due no std::cout reference, compiler take care about your c value is never used. Then, whole program is stripped out, resulting in a empty program.

A: Another good example I can think of. Imagine that you're implementing a matrix library and write an algorithm which takes two matrices and outputs another one:
Matrix MyAlgorithm(Matrix U, Matrix V)
{
    Transform(U); //doesn't matter what this actually does, but it modifies U
    Transform(V);
    return U*V;
}

Note that you can't pass U and V by const reference, because the algorithm tweaks them. You could theoretically pass them by reference, but this would look gross and leave U and V in some intermediate state (since you call Transform(U)), which may not make any sense to the caller, or just not make any mathematical sense at all, since it's just one of the internal algorithm transformations. The code looks much cleaner if you just pass them by value and use move semantics if you are not going to use U and V after calling this function:
Matrix u, v;
...
Matrix w = MyAlgorithm(u, v); //slow, but will preserve u and v
Matrix w = MyAlgorithm(move(u), move(v)); //fast, but will nullify u and v
Matrix w = MyAlgorithm(u, move(v)); //and you can even do this if you need one but not the other

World News – USA – Texans at Lions: Houston's « Pulse » – and our NFL Thanksgiving prediction
It's Houston Texans at the Detroit Lions at 11:30 a.m.. m. Thanksgiving Tilt and our Anthony R. . Wood of SI Texans Daily shares some thoughts with Lions SI officer John Maakaron about the « pulse » and « forecast » for today . . .
1. ) What's the pulse of the Houston Texans after their 27-20 win over the New England Patriots?
Anthony R.. . Wood: If nothing else, it was a release. The tension around the franchise was particularly noticeable this season in the last few weeks. And for the team it was both unexpected and a very welcome surprise to have made such significant improvements from one week to the next.
Expectations remain low. But when Deshaun Watson was at his best, run defense took things up and some of the team's stars on either side of the ball took up a step, which was a great change.
Wood: Its greatest strength is its greatest asset: Watson. The offense begins and ends with him.
Ex-Texan head coach Bill O'Brien put this offense together to show his strengths when he plays in a fast, RPO-heavy and deep-ball-heavy scheme. Throw in the fact that Watson has been by far the most consistent and prolific player this season. thus he is irreplaceable. He has played arguably the best football of his career this season, throwing only five interceptions and taking fewer unnecessary bags. And last week we saw what he's capable of.
If the offensive line can hold him up – as it did against New England – and Will Fuller, Brandin Cooks and Jordan Akins stay healthy, Deshaun should thrive.
It is difficult to pinpoint an area in relation to their greatest weakness. Before last week's game, you would have said the Houston running defense, which was appalling this season. But it has shown that it is capable of keeping teams under 100 yards when playing aggressively – something that has been missing at times this year.
So it has to be Texan secondary school. When it comes to safety, Justin Reid keeps returning to the form Texans fans know he is capable of, while pro Lonnie Johnson is still adjusting in his sophomore year after moving from corner to safety this year. Defense attorney Eric Murray looks like a free agency miscalculation that cost the team $ 18 million over three years.
Now move to the corner where the biggest problems are. Bradley Roby had a decent year, but apart from him, it was a mess. Vernon Hargreaves showed lightning, but consistency wasn't his friend. Phillip Gaines was in charge of New England's only TD pass last week and has done little all season to show he deserves to be on that roster. And rookie John Reid looks promising but doesn't see enough playtime to make a big impact.

3. ) In his fourth season, Deshaun Watson plays the best football of his career. How has he improved over the past couple of seasons?
Wood: As mentioned earlier, his decision-making has improved dramatically. His trust has been both a strength and a weakness in the past. Especially when he has played behind a weak offensive line in recent years, he has tried to make a game where there was simply no game and unnecessarily took a sack.
This has not been a problem this year, although the line has taken a step back from last year (with the exception of last week). .
Watson has also reduced interceptions. Currently he has taken five a year and none since week five. In fact, he's currently well on his way to a career year in terms of mileage, touchdowns and interceptions. And it looks like he's got a 68. 9 percent graduation rate – also a career high.
He just doesn't get the praise he deserves, partly because the team has a loss record and also because the team never got much airtime regardless.
4. ) Everyone is still scratching their heads over the pre-season deal Houston made with the Arizona Cardinals with DeAndre Hopkins. Why did Bill O'Brien deal with Hopkins and how much has that hurt the franchise going forward?
Wood: The logic behind the move, according to the team, was that Hopkins supposedly wanted a new deal that Texans couldn't afford given the other new deals they had / hadn't made. Whether or not that was the only reason we can only speculate and may never really know.
The optimists among us saw this as an opportunity for the Texans to achieve their clear No.. 1 Aim and create a sense of unpredictability in this offense.
With Will Fuller, Randall Cobb, Brandin Cooks, Kenny Stills, Keke Coutee and Isaiah Coulter at the receiver, we had a deep group that was able to play both below and deeply. Throw in a solid group of bottlenecks, two double-threat running backs and a quarterback who can run, and that « spread-the-love » approach looked like a solid idea. So far this has not fully worked. There were weeks like last when Watson could use his arm effectively, with three receivers reaching more than 80 meters.
The running game, however, was non-existent for several reasons, and first year play-caller Tim Kelly struggled to find a sense of rhythm on his offense. The team has withheld its insistence on building the run on many occasions – this was also not the case last week for the first time this year.
Looking ahead, this move will sting for some time. Had the Texans been able to get a first-class classic from the trade, the damage could have been limited. As we now know, of course, this was not the case.
Trying to replace Hopkins with a group approach is tough, especially with Fuller and Stills' contracts expiring after this season. If you sign Cobbs and David Johnson, the new management will be busy as you try to make way for newcomers this off-season.
Wood: Predicting Texan's games this year has been difficult from day one. They haven't won two games in a row, so they couldn't find the right rhythm from week to week. If there was ever a time for it, it is now.
They did their best performance of the season and are back on the field just a few days later. If they can pick up where they left off last week, especially given the injuries at Detroit's corners, Houston could win this game. Also, keep in mind that Texans have only played a Thanksgiving game once – in 2012 when they defeated the Lions at Ford Field.
The Houston Texans travel to Ford Field to face the Detroit Lions for their second Thanksgiving game. However, you will do without five players . . . And Detroit could be starless
After a long hiatus, Keke Coutee finally returned to the field and impressed with his opportunities with the Houston Texans – but the messages at the recipient are not all good
